To be fair, you're absolutely right. As examples; Sarah Palin is thought of as a brilliant political leader with a shot at being President. Obamacare will create death panels. Obama isn't a citizen. Gay marriage threatens traditional marriage. Islam is a violent religion. The Tea Party. Government shutdown is the way to go.
Yeah, we're as bad, if not worse than a bunch of stupid kids running wild in the streets of Kandahar. We have the internet, cable television, NPR, and really, we of all people should know better, yet we don't. People like Jones aren't the problem so much as a symptom of the problem, which is, of course, willful ignorance.
