Wall of text, pwn!:
Mindlessly judging, ridiculing, and generalizing people because they have a different opinion is one of the most ignorant things about that video. You know, like in Madskillz post. Full of generalization.
/sarcasm on: Nobody with integrity would be caught dead at a McCain rally, right? Generalizing half the country because of anecdotal experience...that's not ignorant. Everyone should generalize a race or gender based on anecdotal experience. madskillz thinks it's great.
I wouldn't go to any political rally. I also wouldn't name-drop in an attempt to garner recognition on a videogame website.
As for the points in the "poorly edited out of context video designed to make republicans and traditionalists look stupid," I'll say this:
Not all Americans are stupid. I'm smarter than 90 percent of the people on this forum by my judgement, and yep...you guessed it. Arrogant? Quite. True? Refute it.
In fact, I've met quite a few ignorant jackasses from all countries, on this forum. Should I judge their entire populations by a few bad eggs? Should I judge an entire political party, because I'm in the opposing version? Should I laugh at others expense because I'm bitter. I admit, I do it all the time. I'm doing it right now.
...
So, ladies and gentlemen, my turn. I'd be glad to count myself a member of the ignorant public, if it would only allow me to say what was on my mind, and so the opportunity has presented itself. Allow me to generalize(the most ignorant thing, remember?) a little bit for you all, and see if I can get it right. /generalization go:
The truth is, everyone is ignorant. ....
Bookyak!

Well first of all it's judgment  (no e after g)
Of course there's ignorance and there always will be, however, for every ignorant person there's an arrogant person lying in wait ready to point out this aforementioned ignorance. This may not be a problem save for the fact that if they know of such ignorance:
A) The ignoree (new word!) will not be persuaded otherwise
B) Ignorance is irrelevant! People who are not ignorant will not all of a sudden become ignorant because of an ignorant statement made over the internet.
Generalizations are bad, that won't stop them from being made. Racism is bad, but that won't stop people from being racists.
That being said, you were just saying what was on your mind (and in a very well articulated way!), so you are forgiven
