OMG, How pathetic is this...?

[progressoid]

I heard a replay of Laura Ingraham's Friday show. Seems she's ticked that the evil media is portraying Obama as the choice of intellectuals (even...gasp...conservative intellectuals). Awwww. :cry: So she started this YouTube thing to show us all how super-duper smartified McCain Palin supporters are!

SMART PEOPLE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN '08
We are starting a viral movement on YouTube to show the world that smart people are for McCain/Palin. Visit our YouTube Channel that we set up and Laura's video.

Please upload a video reply to Laura's video stating your academic degrees/credentials and current professional position, and then simply conclude by saying: "And I'm voting for McCain/Palin '08."

Let's make this a force on YouTube!

She's and her millions of listeners are gonna out viral us intellectual elites with their videos!

Unfortunately, her video has been up for three days now and hasn't even hit 35,000 views.

Compare that to the Wassup 2008 video that has been up for two days and has almost 1.4 million views.

Sorry Laura, you lose.

1. Awww, poor, pathetic Laura.

:nopity:

[Ian David]

2. So, if she's only gotten 35,000 views in 3 days, why are you posting it? n/t

[progressoid]

5. Oh, shoot.

Yeah, don't click on it. It's just her nasal whining anyway.

3. The ratio of views is almost the same ratio as those that attend Obama rallies versus McCain ones.

4. Well they kinda asked for it.

When you run as the party opposed to "Eastern media elites," disparage large cities, and convince your followers that a Harvard JD is somehow bad, you're not running to pick up Mensa votes. I thought the whole "Joe Six Pack" angle was that Palin et al didn't need intellectuals. What do they know, after all?

[falcon97]

6. Answer: very pathetic

While I admire fighting it out 'til the very end, her effort in this regard is futile.

[Gore1FL]

7. I wonder if Todd Palin has one posted

"I done graduated high school!"

[NYC_SKP]

8. Well, I had to chime in...

comment still pending:

"Hi Laura!

I'm a MENSA eligible (per SAT scores and MAT score of 88) Bachelor of Arch. and Masters degrees, architect and educator, and a I have a very keen sense of character. I once admired John McCain, but he's become quite ugly and Barack Obama is the best thing to come along in a generation. OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

Warmest regards.
A faithful American patriot."

9. I don't think it will get posted.

I did the same about an hour ago. As yet, my post hasn't shown up.

Seems like posts stopped a couple days ago. Hmmmm:eyes:

[NYC_SKP]

14. Ahhhh, I hadn't checked time stamps, only 30 or 40 posts.

Does YouTube control comments, the YouTube member, or both (if you know)?

[progressoid]

25. I'm not sure. I think it's both.

I've seen comments by other youtubers about deleting certain posts that were 'offensive'. And all comments and ratings can be turned completely off at the request of the person that posted the video.

[ddeclue]

10. Even AFTER Laura posts it...

She'll still need to find a smart person to be for McPalin...

:rofl:

[Mossbeach]

11. Just cuz the have degrees doesn't make them smart...look at Dubya....

He's got a BA from Yale and an MBA from Harvard...

We know how that went....

[progressoid]

13. Hey - you're new here!

Welcome to DU Mossbeach! :)

[Historic NY]

12. Is she a B girl too......

[firedupdem]

15. Pathetic! n/t

[goletian]

16. ironically, theyre going for the logical fallacy of an appeal to authority. real intellectuals

would not submit themselves to such a vulgar display.

[Bobbie Jo]

17. Repeat after me....

[NYC_SKP]

18. Flag it as abusive. Offensive to the intellect. nt

[Occam Bandage]

19. Gee, after spending the entire campaign bashing anyone smarter than a budgie as "elitists,"

they wonder why intellectuals aren't cozying up to Palin and Gramps? Hm. I dunno, it might be because y'all are pushing ignorance as a virtue.

[rasputin1952]

20. It looked to me like she was begging ...

besides, most people w an IQ over 70 knows McCain is little more than a jerk. How can someone spend 26 years in a government they say they despise and will change? No one has picked that up yet?

The reality is, he's been on the gov't payroll from the day he signed into Annapolis, right up to today. McCain owes everything he has to the governement he says he despises...this would include:

His Senate retirement pay (upcoming)

His USN retirement

Social Security benefits

Good sized tax reductions

I'm sure there are a host of other govt sponsored programs he benefits from as well. The creature needs to go away, back intot the darkness of the night from whence he came.

[City of Mills]

21. Every time I hear that name

I think of "Don't come in my ear!"

23. Holy crap - I've never seen that before.

She and Bill O' would make a great couple.

[Poseidan]

22. no fucking bullshit

I've got 10 billion degrees from colleges across the Universe.

I'm voting for McCain/Pailn.

[flygal]

24. this makes me laugh - I know a guy who listens to her

and he can't even turn on a computer much less know what youtube is. He just gets himself all jolly over Laura telling him the liberals are going to get his guns.
