man, that is a lot of crazy loons running around a US city in a socialist funded mall.

one thing that president obama's election did was bring these rabid southern racists into the open. i doubt that anybody knew how many of 'em there truly are and thats not counting the ones who quietly support them at home.

@1: Basically: "Obama is just like Hitler and if we don't stop him he'll destroy Amurka."

Also: "Glenn Beck is bigger than Jesus."

@3: Except in this case it appears to have been an entire crowd of them - the real trick would have been to have found some bona fide sane people in their midst.

Yup...and before FDR, people could just save up their money and buy health care. Social Security ruined all of the wealth that everyone had.

I learned an interesting fact today...only 39% of Americans believe in the theory of Evolution. That's why no film companies in this country will pick up a movie about Darwin. Now I will just have to pirate it when it is up.

@3, why fix it? This is exactly what the Chrisofasicts and the GOP have wanted to do to the educational system for over 30 years. Simply underfund it constantly and train kids to take standardized tests without actually teaching the ability to think and reason.

These people are no doubt a-class idiots, but it isn't new to Blumenthal. I'm sure you've seen him interview the American college students in Jerusalem. NSFW

It all depends on who controls the camera, darling.

Look at all the people who showed up for the anti-war protests, and how little TV that got.

Kinda makes you think?

Wow, it's been less than nine months since the inauguration and we've already become a socialist-fascist-muslim-communist-nazi state. That was quick. Glad these people are on top of things.

The weakness of the war protesters was that they were protesting something that was/is actually occurring, rather than just making up shit that appeals to the collective insecurities of a frightening percentage of the American populace.

@17. I know. So embarrassing. I'm still appalled that "Creation" (the new movie about Darwin) has yet to get an American distributor, because his theory of evolution is, "too controversial for religious America?"

Re: the woman @ 2:10. "My healthcare is great. Currently, I don't have a healthcare plan...No. But I'm fine. I'm not worried about it...If I get hurt I have physicians in my family, so I don't care."

Really? That's your logic? Let's apply this across the board, shall we?

How are you going to pay for a college education? Well, I have teachers in my family, so I don't care.

How are you going to get to work? Well, I have people who drive in my family, so I don't care.

How are you going to eat? Well, I have chefs in my family, so I don't care.

Okay, my only strong example was the first one, but you see my point. Just because you may have physicians in your family does not mean that they are personally equipped to provide you with anything more than very basic medical care. Your leg needs to be amputated? I doubt you can just hobble over to your cousin's house and he/she will fix you right up.

And lastly, at the sight of this woman, here are some foreseeable problems in her near future: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, stroke. But no worries, your family can fix you right up...and for FREE!

Hah! you liberals are shaking in your boots. The Marxists in Congress are going to be swept out next year...if Obama allows the elections to go forward.

And there is now no more doubt that the Marxist homosexual Barack Hussein Obama is a usurper, and that the Democrat Party is part of a massive coverup.

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2009/will…

Now liberals and marxists don't go quietly, which is why I predict that ACORN will become the Civilian National Security force he promised last year, and patriots like Glenn Beck will suddenly disappear. Bill Clinton had his opponents killed, and so will Barry Soetoro (that is his real name). I urge all the Tea Party Patriots here to keep your guns in a safe place, because the government and the ATF will come swooping down into neighborhoods in the middle of the night to grab them.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Lord Basil - you and your ilk as shown on this movie are self centred, inward looking, IGNORANT morons. After watching this movie and reading of late comments as posted above by Lord Basil I still cannot fathom the level of stupidity, gullibility and ignorance displayed. It would be a total joke if it was not such a serious concern for the stability and prosperity of this country.

@20: The first thing through my mind: OK, so you've got physicians covered... Do you have specialists in hmm... let's just guess type 2 diabetes or the perennial favorite, cancer? Oh, and let's say you need surgery. Are they going to do the operation on your kitchen table or do you have hospitals in the family, too? A little Jack Daniels for anesthesia? Do you also have an anesthesiologist in the family? OR nurses? All the requisite equipment to keep your rotund ass from dieing during and after your surgery?

YOU FUCKING TEABAGGY MORON!!!!!

Andrewl: What have you been told about feeding the trolls? Actually, I don't even think there's a human on the other end of the Lord HawHaw troll-bot. It looks like a bunch of wing-nut talking points thrown into a randomizer with some conjunctions and bridging text. I'm guessing 7th grade computer science class project.

You are 100% correct Cracker Jack - thank you for warning me of the dangers of feeding trolls. I really hope your hypothesis is correct, it would give me so much more hope. LOL Cheers.

@ 4, 27 Many of them are also from the rust belt as well as the red rural north. You would think that these people would be excited about the reforms, but they are fueled by xenophobic rage and hatred of Obama. After all, he might have his ACORN thugs lock all the "Anglo Saxons" up in internment camps as part of his policies. Sure.
What a crock of bullshit.

Clearly you haven't seen what miracles of modern medical procedure can be performed using nothing more than a fifth of Canadian Club, a dirty dish towel, a Ginsu knife, and some duct tape...

bugwitch 31
@30>>Ah duct tape...yes, MacGyver taught us many wonderful uses for that stuff....not the least of which includes bondage. ;)

But you, & 20 are forgetting, that the "real" reason she won't need any health care in her day, is not because she has "..physicians in the family...", but because that big, all powerful Space Daddy of hers will just make it go away. And then drop presents down her chimney in December. Ho Ho Ho

Not the best collection of teabag loons that I've seen. I don't understand why he keeps trying to make that woman say "I want the government out of my social security!" Yes, I know at least one of the loons famously said she wanted the government out of her medicare, but that's clearly not what this woman is saying. She wants the government out of everything and is willing to give up her social security to have such a system. Why doesn't he press her on what she's really saying? Does she want to get rid of the military? Police and fire protection? Interstate highways? Libraries and schools? (Well, probably "yes" on those last two).

Do they want the gov't out the subsidization of corn production and all that it sweetens?

Naaaw, if that HFCS gravy train ends, then they'll be railing about the high cost of Fritos.
