Comments on: "The Great Schlep" For Obama

Sarah Silverman Video Is Part Of Effort To Get Young Jews To Go To Fla. To Persuade Their Grandparents To Vote For Him

[cbsguest6]

I gotta hand it to Sarah, it really takes courage to take a political stand while others are doing duty as public servants, military service, delivering the mail...

It''s really quite amusing to see all the Repugs here frantically posting their never-ending racist, fear-mongering drivel. They''re obviously all deep in panic mode now.

The Democrats (wisely) seldom even bother to respond to the Republican silliness anymore; they are sitting back comfortably watching the show, knowing these GOP rants are all going end in a few more weeks, when Obama wins.

Let them rant away - it all just helps Obama.

Here is something new; A person in Entertainment creating something controversial around election time. Fairly easy to read Sarah. Maybe it is working, I never even heard of her (surprise Sarah, catch a breath) before today.

The people who most want the borders closed to tomorrows immigrants, are todays immigrants: they''''re competing for the same jobs. But, which Republican factory or farm owner wants to cut himself off from a lifetime supply of cheap labor? Follow the money and you''''ll see why: Democrats love the immigrant, hate the immigration. Republicans are the opposite.

Just wanted to congratulate you on the single most naive, stupid post I have ever read on any forum anywhere. Or you are flat out lying to push the same old Democrat agenda. Immigrants are against other immigrants because they are competing for the same jobs? Did you actually type that with a straight face?

[lawchicksc]

Thankfully, I don''t take political advice from freak loser chicks like this one.

[lean12]

Man... you people are really f***ing dumb the most important thing about the Florida poll is to make sure it is not stolen again in the manner of a third world dictatorship like it was last time!!!

[cbsguest6]

I think watching Sarah Silverman march in formation would be funny...

[txcourtney]

From the looks of these comments, Sarah''s got a lot of schleppin'' to do.

Btw, part of Obama''s tax plan is to eliminate income tax for seniors that earn less than $70,000 per year.

[skysoldier75]

Go Sarah (Silverman)!

Expose the racist, anti-semitic, xenophobic, fascist GOP for what it really is.

The current Republican party is obviously no different than Adolph Hitler''s Nazi "Brown Shirts" that set in motion the events that resulted in the Holocaust. The GOP preaches racial hatred and religious intolerance, and encourages class warfare; they are fear-mongers and book-burners.

Expose the ignorant haters for what they really are!

I may be a jew living in Europe, but I''m still an American. I don''t need any grandkids to convince me to vote for Obama, his policies and personality will suffice for me.

We know republicans lack respect, we''ve gotten used to this. But newsflash Republican America, Europe thinks of you as medieval zealous idiots who wouldn''t even know how to find any other country but USA on a map.

The world is exceeding USA, and that self-destructive path the republicans set out for us will not change unless a great person such as Obama becomes president.

[amazedd]

It''s desthpicable!

[cbsguest6]

I think if the candidate Sarah Silverman supports wins the White House she should have to serve a 10-20yr commission in the service...

[seafang]

So what is it with American Jews, who feel so smug in this land of opportunity, that they seem to have forgotten what the Israeli National Mantra used to be; "Never Again".

And here we have generations of Jewish people who have no connection with Israel, our only democratic ally in the middle east; and they think that the man that Moammar Khadafi called our black Kenyan American muslim brother, who will change the world.

Well maybe ordinary Americans ought to take up that same chant, "Never again !"

The Great Schlep is insulting.

It shows a willingness to think that one''''s grandparents either value their vote so little that they will obediently vote as their grandchild tells them to vote or that their grandkids think they are no longer mentally stable enough to resist their grandchild''''s please and/or persuasions.

Pretty ugly when you think about it.

Or they are just trying to get their grandparents to vote for the candidate that is best for the grandchild''s future.

FARRUKIN WHO IS ANTI SEMITIC, SUPPORTS OBAMA,WHY WOULD ANYONE JEWISH SUPPORT OBAMA? HE TOO IS ANTI SEMITIC.

WAKE UP JEWISH AMERICA!!!

Take a look at Obama''s camps for black kids, they look like Hitler youth all over again.
OY VEY!!!

[anotherview2-2009]

McCain and Obama.

What is left? Well I suppose we can look at the history of what happens when one party has full control of government, something the writers of the Constitution tried to prevent. We can look at the reasoning of giving even more power to the Democartic Party who has failed to deliever on the mandate given two years ago and who now has the an approval rating worse than Bush.

Or I suppose we can celebrate the new Socialist America where dissent is suppressed, and opposing views are all racist. Where business is nationalized, and government takes on the role of your mother, providing all that you need (at least that is what the Democrats will tell you).

This is not the America of my dreams or of my forefathers, is it yours ?

The "great schlep" bothers me on so many levels. It particularly bothers me that this could also be called the "great manipulation of elder adults" This is a vulnerable population to begin with and to think you would attempt to persuade by manipulation your grandparents smacks as a lack of respect for them and their ability to make their own decisions. I think they have lived enough years to base their decisions on their own belief system and not be manipulated into voting the way someone else would like for them to vote. Coercion even if it is disguised as funny is really not a fun place to be in, if you are the one being coerced.
