Not on me, but it isn't a topic I seek. Though it isn't hard to perform a fake campus petition to people acting and post it on YouTube. All you need is a digital camera, a college campus, and a group of students that want to help.

So, let see if I have this right.

Absent any proof, this video is fake because it isn't hard to get a digital camera and a campus full of students to go along with a joke. Do I have that right?

Is that also your interpretation of the Penn and Teller segment I linked earlier?

Later in the spring of 2009 many college students started getting notices of county jury duty requirement.

They failed to appear and when contacted stated they were not residents of that county where they registered to vote.
They should have been given a choice: do your assigned jury duty or be charged with voter fraud. Hope they paid their local property taxes.

Mark Dice doesn't need millions of people watching him every night. He has millions of right wing conservative whackos to carry his message across the land........incessantly.......everywhere.......... for no other reason than to spread hate and paranoia. Guns sales should skyrocket again. Those that have 10 will need to get 20 now.
This piece is no different than the video made by that Egyptian Coptic who portrayed Mohammed as a child abuser and among other vile acts to further his own agenda and created a firestorm in the ME. Dice is of the same mold with the same agenda. He wants the same reaction here. He's a cheap right wing grandstander.
Ahahhaha. Oh please, are you saying Mark schiff is so stupid he didnt know what was going to happen when he was interviewed for a comedy show? Really?

ITS A COMEDY SHOW.

No, I just doubt it and am not taking it for face value just because it is on the internet. I am skeptical. The rule of thumb is to never believe everything you see on the internet because it is very easy to lie.

Perhaps I misunderstood the post I was responding to. My feelings are that one could get any number of college students to sign their own death warrant if one circulates a petition long enough. The person who circulated the petition had an agenda to discredit liberals with a predetermined desired result and just kept at it until he got the results he desired.
As far as I know, Alex Jones is NOT comedy.

Why should it surprise anyone that America's youth are overwhelmingly stupid? I would bet that a majority of teenagers and younger twenties don't even have a clue what the Second Amendment is.....

If it doesn't revolve around their cell phones, computers, or American Idol, they don't care.

This is an old bit. The only idiots are those that find some kind of meaning in the gag.

Don't forget casual sex.

anybody who watches Jay Leno and his Jaywalking segment know what you say is true. He couldn't even get college students to answer correctly who was buried in Grants Tomb on one of his shows.
