Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, March 10th, 2012 11:59pm PST - promote requested by kulpims.

Sarcastic, flat "yayyyyy."

They didn't cherry pick the interviews? They got off the plane and didn't seek out any of these people? I call bull shit. Bill says he plans to send her back to interview people in the "inner city," but if they flew in commercially they would have been in Jackson, which like most larger cities in other states is fairly liberal (compared to the rest of the state). I know at least three of the interviews are in my home town (I know because I recognize the places in the background) which is probably one of the most liberal places in MS due to the two government research facilities here, which means lots of scientists and educated people, and yet still lots of morons like in the video. My home town is 60% black, Jackson (the capitol) is 70% black, yet 100% of the people they interviewed were white. It looks to me like they got off the plane and drove straight out into the backwoods, and/or looked for the nearest Walmart.

Maybe if you argue hard enough you'll convince us that there are no morons in your state. It doesn't bother me that they cherry picked...it bothers me that these people exist.

Did I say there were no morons in my state? No, and I even said we have lots of morons. I'm just calling Maher out on his BS claim that these interviews weren't cherry picked. About 50% of the state population black and 50% are women, yet 100% of their interviews are white men, that doesn't add up. In the 2008 presidential election 48% of the state voted for Obama. If he just came out and said they sent Pelosi to Mississippi to interview people who vote republican, I would buy that, but claiming that they didn't seek anyone out and cherry pick, he just lost all credibility.

It bothers me too that these people exist, but people like that exist everywhere. They don't represent the state, and believe it or not, they don't make up the majority here. What bothers me is people have a stereotypical view of Mississippi, and Maher is just reinforcing the ignorance of that stereotype.

Depressing, but yes I agree those interviews were cherry picked. Or those people are just attracted to the camera because it has a shiny light.

Sort of like the media equivalent of an angler fish then?

I was thinking more of Jeff Foxworthy's skit about Rednecks liking bass boats because they are shiny, but yep you got it.

Lololol, you people are fucked.
