Ugly

Behold Duh Base at a Palin rally:

As dense as these people are, they're not so cataclysmically dull that they're unaware of the screwing over they get on a daily basis... by someone. So they glare out at a hostile world with astonished resentment until *someone* tells them who to blame, all the better if it's a symbol of something they already despise, and they become an ignorant army of blind, stupid rage.

That's why it's so important that they and their political puppet masters be taken out of play.
