Do you know, that Jimmy Kimmel's Crew went out into the streets for Lie Witness News Team and asked people how they liked Martin Luther King's Speech today? Do you know people they interviewed, didn't know who he was, but said they liked his speech....
That is a perfect example of how pathetic voters are....and really makes me angry....didn't find it funny at all...much more scary that people like that vote??????? Unbelievable!!!!

Martin Luther King was a great man, with a great dream...he wanted freedom for everyone, but believed strongly in working for what you have...his speech's are fabulous...and I wonder how many young people actually listen to his speech's today? They should be played in every school, over and over again....
Anyway, really pathetic how dumb people are....

Really no shock here.

Go ask the average young person today who fought in the American Civil War and be shocked at the answers.

The video wont work for me, can someone describe it.


Did they actually ask "how do you feel about MLK walking up to a podium today and making that great speech"

Or did they ask "how did you feel about MLK's speech today"

If its the first, then they are indeed morons( but its also likely that 99% of the poeple who know he is dead got edited out), but if its the second then i have a problem with the video all together. Im the type of person who would have assumed he was asking me how i felt about MLK on this particular day that honors him, and more specifically about his "i have a dream" speech, not some new speech that some dead man wrote and gave. I wouldnt have simply seen it as a slip of the tongue on his part and responded to what i thought he meant.

I could've told you why a long time ago.

After all, if you think Obama is bad, you should've seen the idiots those fools in that OTHER party nominated to run against him.

I used to think that GW Bush was the worst president ever. Then along came Obama to prove me wrong.

Those people in the Kimmel video are all low information voters (assuming that they even vote---a scary thought). Sadly, we have far too many low information voters in this country.

Yeah, they were morons.

The first guy was likely still high from the night before.

Then you had 3 african american youths....smh.....where they were highschoolish aged.

I don't know if some of them were clowning or not, stoner dude was just out of it though.

When you have pedestrians walking past in spiderman costumes, let's just say that it's probably not too hard to find people that are really drugged up or otherwise absent upstairs.
