What really disturbs me is that this is apparently happening in a sanctuary – see the altar, the open bible, lectern/pulpit. I’m a working church musician, and Karaoke for Christ is bad enough without this!

Thank G-d I can’t play streaming video at work. Battle Hymn of the Republic really is my favorite patriotic song (if that’s not already an oxymoron), mostly for the “fuck you, Confederacy!” aspect. I don’t want to hear something I could never un-hear.

Stupidity is such a temptingly abundant source of energy, too bad it’s in the form of intellectual entropy and thus impossible to constructively harness without costing more energy to capture than it could potentially generate.
However, I do have to tip my hat to Sarah Palin for one thing: she has apparently found a way to harness the energy of stupidity to make a boatload of money from it. But then so did P.T. Barnum, the difference being that Barnum was full aware he was a showman selling hokum to the “fool born every minute”.

the saddest thing about this, as we sit and giggle and urp, is that these really are honest, good people, and we’re expressing the very thing about “elites” that sends them into orbit.
no, really, the saddest thing about this is the fact that their beliefs have been manufactured and shoved down their throats by the fox propaganda machine.

But when I do, I lose any embedded videos, so this post, for example, wouldn’t make any sense to me because I wouldn’t be able to watch and listen to the eye-and-ear-with-a-rusty-pitchfork-gouging experience that is this particular clip.

@Buck:
I think it’s just a simple, decorative pattern in the dark-stained wood of the desk-front, rather than any words.
The key detail is the cloth-bookmarked open book on the stand on top of the table. Although it’s not possible to read its title or any wording on the open pages, it’s a solid bet that it’s a Bible, not sure to what passages.
EDIT: more power to you wobblybits, if you can make out that it’s inscribed with a Biblical passage from Luke, rather than simply a carved decoration in the wood. You must have a higher-resolution copy of the video than is available to me, even blowing it up to full screen size.

@lllphd:
There is something to what you say. It also occurred to me that the chairs behind the pulpit are cheap and ugly, that the man singing is wearing a hat in church, and so on. This ain’t a Trinity Episcopal or First Presbyterian, you know. There really is a divide, and Sarah is their hero. My family is Big Business Mitt all the way, and ashamed to be associated with these snake handlers. Populism’s history is too convoluted for me, but it seems like over the last 50 years, when it surges, it finds its place on the Right. These same folks would have been Dems years ago (Huey Long type dems–big government populists).
Everybody has noted that it’s odd for poor whites to vote against their economic interests, but there’s a simple non-marxian explanation…which is they are voting for their pride, which they struggle to hold on to.

I want to laugh but I had a great-aunt that ended life in the poor house because she sent all her money to Anal Roberts in hopes he would cure her. The vibe off these folks is similar. She will take their last dime, laughing at them behind their backs while she lives the high life.
I wish there really was a hell so people like Palin would get the reward they have earned.

If you watch until the end there’s a musical interlude section before the final singing and Camo Hat Guy is waving his hand trying to get someone to hurry up and get through that part so Blonde Woman can sing. I’m not sure they intended this to be seen by a wider audience.

Bill Arnold
Looks like a bible on a stand, pulpit, lower end of a cross in the background. I guess these could be props. If not, I don’t know how many churches would permit production of satirical political videos sung from the pulpit, or real political videos sung from the pulpit (possibly putting tax exempt status at risk). Which would suggest a possibility that it’s deadpan satire.
On the other hand, my satire detector didn’t fire at all.

I grew up around people like this in Eastern North Carolina, and some of the people from the northwestern part of NC where my wife grew up are *still* just like that (hint: it’s Congresswoman Virginia Foxx’s district). The people are cute and quite personable face to face, but the fact that the kind of gullible, virulent ignorance and stupidity on display in this video is honestly felt does not make it charming; not very far underneath the charmingly honest surface lies a cauldron of nasty meanness and bitterness and rebellion from rational thought. Congresswoman Foxx’s beliefs and utterances are honestly felt; do they seem so charming, especially once removed from the setting of a spare community meeting room/chapel somewhere out in rural or very small-town America?

Yes, they’re cute and sincere and all that.

Good mustard and tasty lettuce may not be elitist, but some of these comments are, as well as smug and counter-productive. I live around a lot of people just like the people in the video and grew up around a lot more of them. Both sides of my family tree are full of people like this. They are scared. They’ve never really known anyone unlike themselves. My parents were saved from that fate by getting out of that small Oklahoma town in the 30’s when Dad went to work for an oil company. Also for some reason, my parents understood the value of education, and it was drummed into the four of us that we would go to college—we all made it through. I have a neighbor (not nearly like these yahoos, but he has some worrisome ideas) and I challenge him all the time about his beliefs. He likes and respects me so he listens. I think I have changed him some. That is the answer—it’s a long walk but we don’t have another choice.

This Sarah Palin shit is getting to be utterly Stalinist. I really don’t get it. I know that a lot of people have noted the excessive appeals to nationalism and emotion, which are typical of all kinds of fascist movements, but somehow this personality cult thing makes me think more of the Soviet Union while Stalin was leadng it. They practically worshipped the guy; even when he fucked up, they fell all over each other to suck up to him at their endless meetings.
I feel fairly hopeful that she’ll never get anywhere in politics again, but lord help us if she did. She’d have her own sycophantic, fanatical army of soulless, violent psychopaths ready to do whatever she asked without another thought. I don’t think there are enough of them to overwhelm the rest of us (whatever Glenn Beck might say, his drooling minions don’t surround us), and damn, they look old and I guess they’ll be dying off more and more everey year, but fuck if they couldn’t make life in this country utter hell while the civil war played out.

The term “skunk” has a long history in politics (and invective in general). It goes back long before there were black/white presidents. As far as I know, it has never carried any racial connotations.

She prefaced it by saying, “This one’s for you, Jack,” but the network cut that out. She almost breaks down when she sings the line “died to set men free.” At the end there’s a big standing ovation from the studio crowd. Forty eight years, from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Why do we set the bar so low for voters? It seems like we think poor whites should vote for Democrats because it’s in the voters’ own economic interest. What happened to the good of the country? The good of all the people, of generations not yet born? Excusing people because of their fear or ignorance minimizes their responsibility to the rest of the world to be competent and conscientious proprietors of the world during their sojourn here.

I lasted until she started singing.
I saw a little bit of a terrible made-for-teevee movie once about a gaggle of aspiring country singers. As they’re walking down the street, one explains to the other in a folksy say (dialogue reconstructed loosely from a fuzzy memory):
“That’s what I love about country music. It’s never ironic, it’s not funny, it’s always totally sincere.”
And I thought “dear god no.”
I get a similar vibe from these people, except there’s a significant chance they’d think racist jokes were funny.

I saw the first few seconds elsewhere, and I quickly stopped the video. I do not care how cute they are or how well-intentioned or scared or whatever else they are. I’m with greennotGreen in that I am tired of making excuses for people who can’t be bothered to actually find out the truth. They can watch their FOX and listen to their Rush all they want, but then don’t expect me to find it funny and/or excusable. And, it’s not a matter of being elitist or looking down at Southerners or country folk or whatever. I have friends who choose not to be well-informed about politics (though they tend to be Democrats), and it frustrates me as well. I am not asking anyone to be follow as closely as some of us do, but a rudimentary knowledge of what is actually happening would be appreciated.
