Although this Stern clip makes me cringe, i feel like the offensive things that came out of scooter's first two clips (couldn't stomach to watch the third) were much worse. Where are we as nation to think calling someone arab or 'born in kenya' is an insult. Don't even get me started on the monkey comment.
One of the dj's in the stern clip said, "I'm not qualified to vote." I wonder how many people understand that voting is a responsibility and part of this decision should be based on the issues we feel are important. Not the color of their skin. Not the way (or if!) they worship. Not if they are a hockey mom.
Over the past week, i have finally allowed myself to be excited about having obama as my president. But watching these clips (especially the extremely racist ones) are causing not only doubt, but fear.

I'm stealingwholesale from Majikthise again. I recommend reading her blog - it may be one of my favorites lately. She has a nice series of videos from McCain/Palin campaign rallies.
"McCain Rallies"

Interestingly, on the flip side...

Note, bad language. Basically, Howard Stern sends one of his lackeys to Harlem to ask people who they are voting for... quite interesting.
Can't wait for this all to be over!
