1. Ugh.
   Why can’t we close down universities and make these morons work in underground zinc mines? Why?

2. I’m impressed by some of them because they can accurately describe themselves as totally ignorant.

3. One student is at NYU studying to be a cook?!?

4. Democracy depends on an educated and informed populace. Thomas Jefferson
   McCarthy was right. The commies have had since the 1950’s to insinuate themselves into the very gears of our society.
   We no longer have an educated or informed society.
   The communists have done their work well. Education, media, civil service all promoting everthing except the truth and common sense.
   One world government is on track.

5. I say we let ’em. The gene pool needs chlorination.

6. Nothing wrong with that. Less morons in our country is an asset.

7. Agreed, Blackbeard. In fact maybe we should get together a fund to send one or more of the little darlings
   to Libya. It would be VERY educational for them!

8. These types of “gotcha” videos left or right have never meant anything to me. All they really say are “look we found some idiots”. The left does the same thing with ignorant rednecks. We never see the chopped footage where someone didn’t make an idiot out of themselves.

9. I got caught in one of these , they asked me what I thought of euthanasia , I heard it was “youth in asia” , I was frank, I said I didn’t give a fuk about the youth in asia as long as they stayed there. I would probably have been on the 6 oclock news if it weren’t for the fuk word

10. I just asked my ten year old son if he knew where Benghazi was. “yeah, its in Libya, on the south shore of the Mediterranean, between Egypt and Algeria, Niger borders it on the south, Why do you want to know?”

11. They aren’t ignorant rednecks. They are supposed be getting an education (at great expense subsidized by the taxpayers) to become the professional classes who run things. Things like the education of future professional classes who run things.
    Apparently the answer to Hilary’s question is, “At this point, it’s too late to make any difference.”

12. Yep, and here in Canader,Rick Mercer made a good living out of doing these type of videos showing how ignorant Americans were about Canada.

13. Those students were likely not very political, fitting into the growing demographic that no longer reads newspapers or watches news on the TV. Those of the political junkie persuasion both of the left and so-called right are much better informed, despite the inherent evil of the left. And since meaningful history and civics are no longer taught in public schools, they are condemned to live through the past again. This is the human ballast of the mushy middle that politics is aimed at influencing during elections. Soundbites from the Spawn of Satan and Obamugabe have great short-term appeal for this crowd.

14. I think I’ll coin a new acronym – NIV. ‘No information voter’. It would be apt for far too many people (the majority I firmly believe). It really is time for voter testing of comprehension. Years ago, here in Ontario (maybe all over Canada – can’t remember if it was a provincial or federal election, sorry) they removed the party affiliation of each candidate from the ballot. Heads exploded all over the GTA. The most oft heard question was “which one is the red guy?”.

15. Robert, you are right, but I have to add that what doowleb and John Chittick said is also very relevant.
    The mindset of the these totally misinformed people when multiplied by millions is why we get some of the leaders we get get. Think of the last two elections to the south of us, and to the current regime in Ontario.

16. No surprise there – at least they were honest enough to admit they were ignorant of Benghazi unlike the Pony boy when he gave the same blank stare when confronted with similar questions on foreign affairs – at least these students don’t have to maintain an illusion of competence.

17. What have you got against people who make their living working in underground zinc mines? Why not take these ignorant clods into your place of employment? At least underground zinc mines are orderly, sensible, money-making ventures staffed by people who know what they are doing. Sheesh.

18. OMG, students are saying stupid things. It must have just started, eh? Otherwise how would it be ‘newsworthy’?
    Slow news day, go interview a student on any subject and be guaranteed an entertaining and misinformed opinion shared by so many viewers.
    Journalistic pandering.

19. It would have been more insightful had they been asked where they get their news from.

20. I am contrite. I only didn’t want to see them ever again.

21. Tell you what.
    Spending some time in St. George, Utah. Hiking and climbing and walking.
    Must be the only person buying newspaper.
    On Tuesday morning bought a local paper at a Shell station. It was the first and last paper.
    Just came back from a day trip to Las Vegas, went to the same Shell station at about 7pm got the first and last paper.
    Of course there is always a possibility that it is not what it appears to be.
    In Vegas bought the local paper, walking through the Fashion Show Mall, killing time while the mate buys half the stores out, you get to asked, is that a newspaper? What kind?
    Well……whatever.
    Them Americans are a chatty bunch

22. So why bother?
    Is yer a masochist?

23. I like that… NIV.
    Best educated french-fry turners EVAH!!
    Has an Orwellian je ne sais quois about it.
    Makes me sound smart right?
    Fooled ya.

24. IMHO low-information denizens of a country shouldn’t vote. However, I gather that American young people
    don’t in fact vote much. And end up subsidizing their elders.
    If this is true, then sometimes the universe unfolds as it should.

25. Another Borg troll at a complete loss of civil, rational expression or reasoned counterpoint, just ad hominem simpering – how uncommon (sarc)

26. those jokers actually get to vote. no wonder no one knows where they are going.
