Yes there are dumb ignorant people out there who will answer yes to something they don't even understand, is this really shocking? And I would bet most of the people he gets on tape likely don't bother to vote. So few actually do these days, less than 60% during presidential election years, 40% off years. These are exactly the type of uninvolved ignorant people who are clueless and don't vote. And believe me you can find ignorant uninformed people from either side of politics.
George I like you, but where we differ is I reserve my outrage towards actual real issues or policies that do/can harm us. There are plenty of them to truly get concerned over so why get worked up over made up nonsense from some guy who's obvious motivation is to make money off gullible people. Why even promote or support a 9-11 conspiracist like that?
IMO these types of videos from a guy like this doesn't help at all in hurting Hillary's chances and if anything it helps it because when there is real legitimate criticisms they gets lost or not taken seriously because of people too often having to sift through this type of garbage. This is not intellectual debate, this is trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and has zero chance of actually changing anyone's mind that truly may be on the fence and about which way to vote. It may get some people who already hate Hillary to feel justified in their feelings but this isn't reaching or changing many swing votes, and is more likely to swing someone undecided the other way out of disgust or concluding that all the other side has is just made up accusations. This plays right into the lefts strategy of painting honest genuine criticism as far right conspiracy and yes some people do believe that as well. IMO all criticism should be honest and direct, and defendable and then it becomes much more affective. I am not pointing out the problems with this guy and his videos because I am liberal but instead because of the exact opposite and because I am conservative.
Again I like you and this is nothing personal towards you at all; I do hope you understand that. We want the same thing but just have different views about what is productive or the type of people we should support. This guy is a charlatan trying to profit off of people's fears and simply because he is attacking Hillary is not reason enough for me to support him or his methods.
