Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless. A nation of people with minds like children. The behaviour of the "shock jock" was straight out of a school playground, where ignorance and attitude rule supreme. The entire nation appears to be in a state of complete denial about anything which is actually real.

That would be enough to make anyone go mad.

I think my head would probably explode if I had to watch more than an hours worth of O'Reilly, Beck and Hannity.

Just because we don't have shock jocks in the UK doesn't mean that most people here don't think the same way as this guy.

The problem is nothing like as bad in this in the UK.

Come on. We certainly do have shock jocks in the UK. Just the average Brit is not shocked by what they say.

What Britain doesn't have is an easily offended bible belt.

LMFAO!

Could be summed up as, "Yeah she's really great, she has my full support, but I don't know anything about her policies"......

At least they have their own gut politics, Sarah Palin probably does represent them in some way, they weren't just celebrity hunters. In fact they're like a variety pack of Sarah Palin's.

Yes, I've lived and worked in America and loved it.

To be fair I'm certain "NewLeftMedia" will have chosen and edited selectively - and the same sort of video could be done over here. Infact, it'd be a struggle to even find people who had "gut politics" in the UK. How excited could anyone get about Cameron, Brown or Clegg?
