Homer Simpson Tries To Vote For Obama, Gets Sucked Into Machine (And Killed)
College OTR ^ | 10/02/2008 | 10/02/2008

For you students who have been fans of the Simpsons since way back in your Pogs days, you know it goes without saying that Homer Simpson screws up… a lot.

But for once, in this clip, Homer’s blunder is not his fault at all. He did the right thing, he voted for Obama! Alas, the machine wouldn’t let him… instead it changes his vote to McCain every time.

It’d be funny if it didn’t seem eerily plausible. (And just plain eerie, seriously, listen to the opening music.)

As Simpson says, “This doesn’t happen in America, maybe Ohio, but not in America!” Also, maybe Florida, but who's counting?

One can only imagine that this clip comes as a sneak preview to the annual Halloween special, because damn, it’s scary.

Isn’t that the truth! With the PROVEN fraud of Obama’s former employer ACORN it is almost a foregone conclusion that the ones interested in swinging this election through fraud are NOT conservatives!

  The scary thing about this is how many people will think it is reality.

Well, his vote sure wouldn’t be changed to McCain. If he tried to vote for the latter, though, it could plausibly be changed to Obama.

What’s with all the Freepers who love the Simpsons? To me, the series has often looked very much like Doonesbury reincarnated for the 1990s.

In Ohio, homeless people can vote for Obama without showing any ID. Now, state law requires first-time voters to show ID, but the boards of election, staffed equally by Ds and Rs, don’t care. All’s well in the name of bipartisanship and political correctness, right?

Somewhere out there is a liberal who actually believes this happened.

Funny, the last person I would self-identify with is Homer Simpson. Libs don’t seem to have a problem with it. Perhaps it really is a conservative cartoon.

When I see stuff like this, it makes me think we’re headed for another civil war. The left just gets crazier and crazier; paranoia has become their normal style. Maybe watching the X-Files for 10 years does that to you.

The Simpsons hasn't been funny for years. When it was, they made a point of skewering liberals and political correctness, as well as the Republicans who sometimes deserved it. This country is becoming so polarized that it is truly frightening, and it is "open-minded" Liberals who are actively promoting it.

I’m sure they will find a way. Lets see the Media have already established that NOT voting for Obama is Racism. Racism is usually a hate crime so....Now where will they find a work/re-education camp large enough for all the free thinkers?? Very Scarey indeed.

I posted the following to that site:

IRL, the Leftist vote community organizing group ACORN is under investigation for vote fraud in 14 states across the union (that would be out of 58 states, according to 0bama). That's Lefties for you, always projecting onto their political opposition when they are caught breaking the law.
