Gosh, we wonder where the folks seen in NewLeftMedia’s latest set of interviews with Tea Baggers — these, taken at Glenn Beck’s recent “Restoring Honor” rally absurdity in D.C. on the 47th Anniversary of MLK Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech there, though not much unlike our own similar interviews from nearly one year ago — became so extraordinarily dis-informed about the actual reality of the world in which they live…
No doubt, the nation’s “most powerful name in news” is proud of the job they’re doing in helping to “inform” and “educate” the citizenry. Between the above and the data from the latest poll of voters as we head towards the November mid-terms it’s likely fair to call it all “Mission Accomplished.”
If you can tolerate watching any more completely disinformed American numbskulls revealing their utter disinformed-ness, NewLeftMedia offers a few additional scenes and interviews — some arguably even more troubling and disturbing than the above — from the same ridiculous gathering, below…
God bless America.
These are the people I debate with daily around here. So closed minded and yearning for those days of the 50’s and 60’s they thought should be a pattern of daily life for this Country.
10:55 on the 1st video,
Country Clubs? Really? and whose country clubs were they working in? The Wealthy White men who probably voted Republican? Paying immigrant labor no doubt below min wage and under the table(to save a buck)
The Woman at the end of the tape
As Jon Stewert would say, Now for your moment of Zen…
Nice job Chase Whiteside, keep it up
And thanks Brad, I’m going to do my part to get this viral!
I watched it all.
That was painful.
Just a suggestion, Brad, but perhaps you should embed some of your earlier Tea Party videos onto this piece.
Great film directors spend hundreds of hours and millions dollars without getting these kinds of results. The future looks good for Chase and Erick.
Wow, quite a collection of emotions I’m experiencing after watching those videos. Mainly, I just feel embarrassed for those people. And for being born in Ohio. I can’t even make fun of what I just saw for fear that some of those people are mentally handicapped.
Second most prevalent feeling? Nausea.
What country was this recorded in? They sound like they’re almost American!
It is interesting that the guy featured on the second video is wearing a tee shirt which reads, “I am AFP.”
As you can see from the video I appended to Prop 23, So-Called ‘California Jobs Initiative’, A Scam That Would Destroy Jobs and Environment, AFP or the Americans for Prosperity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries which I described as an oily conglomeration which is ranked as one of the nation’s worst polluters.
What has been portrayed as a “grass roots movement” is, in fact, a billionaire-funded scam that strives to convince these deluded fools that government, the only thing standing between the American people and the deadly excesses of dictatorial corporate power, is the enemy.
Here ya go, Ernie:

May post it as a “Toon of the Moment” later.
Oh, and that photo I promised you in comments on my “I’m back…” thread is now posted here for ya.
Sadly, these “numbskulls” have been badly used by the Grand Deceivers. Their own deep-seated racism and fears have been turned around and projected onto others in a coldly deliberate orchestrated manner. What choice do they have when their churches, their TV station (I’m sure found blaring in every bar), their talk radio (probably the most prevalent AM station in God’s country), their religious channels and stations that good Christians listen to, are all telling them the same thing: All them that ain’t like us are out to get us and overthrow Amerrica.
Small wonder that they believe it.
Fight the Hydra. What would Hercules do? (BTW, I checked: he had help!)
Before watching this, please put your coffee or other beverage down. If not, you’re liable to spill it on your keyboard laughing as you listen to these unintentionally funny people.
This statement from one of the interviewees is disturbing:
That was from one of the more coherent people that were interviewed. The others were even more nonsensical.
What emerges from these interviews is that these people only have a vague idea of what they believe, and when they do articulate their thoughts (“thoughts” is a strong word here), are incapable of backing them up. Facts particularly rile them up, since facts tend to contradict their ill-thought-out utterances. These are followers of proudly ignorant Glenn Beck for whom ignorance is a virtue.
Too painful to watch…
“He’s one of them girlie-men…” “Is your dog on wellfare?”
“This is the best country in the world, and you want socialism and communism?”
Truly mind-blowing, breathtaking ignorance…
