Tea Party Express II - The Bradcast

The BRAD BLOG's Brad Friedman covered the beginning of a journey by some dozens of Teabaggers from Griffith Park in Los Angeles to Orlando, Florida. It is called Tea Party Express II - COUNTDOWN TO JUDGEMENT DAY:
Here's Brad's brilliantly understated, mini-documentary:

Thanks for these videos, Phil. It's amazing how little the teabaggers understand about what is going on in the country. It seems that this can be attributed to watching too much Fuchs Noose, and not doing enough research on the Obama Administration's policies. They have been led to believe that the effort to reform the health care system means that President Obama is out to get them. The truly shameful thing about all of this is that the people who are telling them this know it isn't true. This is just one more example of what some people will do maintain the status quo. The teabaggers have no idea that they are helping the health insurance companies take advantage of them.

Do the people in the video call themselves "teabaggers"? If you mean "testicle-suckers" be a man and come out and say it. Why do today's "progressives" all sound like sniggering 12 year olds (and my apologies to any 12-year-olds offended by the comparison).

"watching too much Fuchs Noose, and not doing enough research on the Obama Administration's policies."

Actually a lot of people at the Tea Party rallies probably have read more on the various Obamacare bills then the brain-dead congressmen (and women) who are going to sign them.Unlike those who believe Obama is the new Messiah, the dissidents who oppose the Dems destroying healthcare in this country are independent thinkers who know a powergrab when they see it. You have no idea that the rich Dem elitists and their lawyer fat cats are just using you to further their control of the US and it's economy.
Try doing some research...how much of Pelosi's 900 page bill have you read ? If you haven't read it how do you know it shouldn't be opposed.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962) is available from the menu at:

The archive also has committee documentation available.

Brad Friedman did a great job on those interviews. Too funny. "We are mad as hell about .... ?"

In my opinion, the deep base of the far-right opposition is grounded in racism. Across our country and especially here in Anchorage, Anglos are becoming a minority. The tea-baggers are afraid of the change coming.

Jesus, he and Max should get together.

And then hire someone who knows how to shoot and edit video.

Great stuff.

Thanks for posting these Phil. Happy to see the message from sunny L.A. down here, all the way up to the frozen North!

Couldn't help but respond to one of your courageous anonymous commenters above....

"You have no idea that the rich Dem elitists and their lawyer fat cats are just using you to further their control of the US and it's economy."

Ironic comment, that one, Anonymous. Though I suspect you have absolutely no sense of that irony.

"how much of Pelosi's 900 page bill have you read ? If you haven't read it how do you know it shouldn't be opposed."

Just curious, did you read the hundreds of pages of the PATRIOT Act before or after you supported it? You know, the one that actually DID take away your freedoms.

Peace, ya'll! (And thanks for the very kind words).

OMG! I heart Brad so much! What a bunch of idiot teabaggers. They don't even know what they are protesting. Brad has a great interviewing style. He would be great as one of The Daily Show "experts."
