1. If you think you can sway DU hearts and minds w/a Fox/Hannity clip, you are smoking the good stuff.

2. Obamabots can't be swayed. They are too lockstep in their "devotion"
just pointing out some facts.
And by the way, MSNBC & CNN have gotten so bad hat Fox News is at least as reliable.... if not moreso at this point.

3. And what are you, open for debate?
You hardly come off as someone who isn't "devoted" to their candidate. Pot meet kettle.

5. Clearly the larger point escapes you
And that is you are no different than the Obama supporters you criticize. You're just rooting for a different brand.

9. Sigh......
The point is your opinion on your candidate is no more malleable than theirs. As in nothing could sway you either.

8. Sheesh, must suck to feel as if you are living in Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. If you
ask me, the real cult is the hysterical cult of accusers like yourself who rabidly attack others as cultists just because they have different opinions.

11. Um, if you watched the video you would see that at least *those* Obama supporters
didn't *have* any opinions.

34. average Obama supporter
Your classification of the "average Obama supporter" would hardly be accurate with the incessant bias that you exhibit.

10. How about this?
Don't worry about Obama supporters.

You just focus on supporting your preferred candidate.

And we'll see you at the convention :hi:

13. Right now you have stooped to citing Luntz lol They couldn't answer
because they didn't have a script. Luntz has been thoroughly debunked on DU with clips showing the same "independent" voters leaning towards different candidates on different days.

26. Are you really this uninformed?
The "pollster" you have in the video, Frank Luntz hires people to be in his Fox audience. They don't know what to say because they weren't prompted with an answer by Luntz before they went on the air, the question came from Hannerty and it sent every body off script.

Coincidentally if you flip here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4637097 at this very time on another thread the folks are having a great laugh talking about how Luntz carries these bozos around with him in his pocket.


Using Frank Luntz to sincerely question a group of "Obama" supporters is like calling for Dick Cheney to be an expert witness on WMD in Iraq. But you go ahead with it - we all need a good laugh.

22. The first actual thing out of his mouth was incorrect - re universal healthcare-
and as he elaborated on it (with opinions) it was clear he did not understand the plans.
Sorry. He knew more than most, but most of what he knew was not true.

32. Oh. My. Fucking. God. You want a link? look no further than DemocraticUnderground.
You have been around DU for more than two years and you still think Fox is a reliable news source??? Why do you think the Dems have refused to debate on Fox up until Hillary caved? Where the hell have you been?
