The video below is getting quite a bit of play on many of the more prominent right-wing blogs. It's creator, John Zeigler, has also appeared on Hannity adn Colmes and The O'Reilly factor.
It seems that Zeigler is taking the John Stossel appraoch - trying to convince conservatives that many Democrats are too "stupid" to vote. Watch the video below and you'll probably see why some of these questions weren't answered.
It wouldn't suprise me to go out to any street, in any town, in any state and ask questions like "Who is Harry Reid?" "Who is Nancy Pelosi?", "Where did Obama start his political career?" and have people not be able to answer.
The reason behind this is simple.
The average American has more to worry about that conservative talking points, right-wing boogie-men.
Granted, the questions about who controls congress is something that people should be able to answer. But, when people are approached by a person with a camera and are asked questions like this, they often think they are getting duped. These concerns are justified.
What is more important to the average American - knowing who Barney Frank is or trying to figure out how to have healthcare?
Just asking.
