Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free:

[AlinPA]

This book by Charles P. Pierce tells me why America will embrace Palin as president or for whatever office she wants. All that's needed now is some TV time or a TV show, a book (check that off), and some repetition. There are a lot of idiots in America and TV can convince them to do just about anything if they (media) try.

1. Half of eligible Americans don't vote. Are they idiots?

2. No doubt a lot are.

3. Not Voting Is A Vote

They are if Palin or someone equally as ignorant gets the White House because they don't vote.

6. Yes it is.

Which is why the Dems should do the job we sent them there to do, or a lot of us may decide to vote by not voting.

Welcome to DU!

8. Statistically, half of any particular set of people has less than average intelligence

If you consider people of less than average intelligence to be idiots, you may be half right.

4. Is this the same Charles P Pierce that is eating crow today in the

The Boston Globe Magazine for his MA senate race prediction?

5. He does work for the Boston Globe. Yes that's him.
