9.12 DC TEA PARTY - March Footage with Interviews

View our B-Roll from this event here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fevga9...

Produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

On 9.12.2009, we went to Washington DC to document the Tea Party protests against, well, a lot of things, including health insurance reform, the IRS, abortion, global warming, and our "socialist/communist/fascist/Nazi/Muslim­" president, Barack Obama. Some of them called for a return to McCarthyism, while others called for Glenn Beck to run for office--indeed, it seemed the only thing that everyone agreed on was Fox News.

A NOTE ON CZARS:
Some users have pointed out that White House "Czars" existed long before Ronald Reagan. As it turns out, Donald Nelson, appointed under FDR as a "Wartime Production Czar", was the first. We appreciate this correction, though such an oversight does not dilute our point--the current outcry against Czars is totally ahistorical and the result of Glenn Beck's alarmist coverage of Obama's appointees.

I am all for intelligent conversation but I don't really think it's worth the time or effort when a person makes a false statement such as Fascism and Communism intertwining.

Fascism-nationalistic, authoritarian, "third position economics"...etc.

Communism-socialistic, no class, authoritarian (Leninist), nationalistic (Stalinist)...etc

Now you may argue that they have some things in common which is true but they are fundamentally different. Just like a republic is different than a democracy

[lee long]

so..how is IRS treating you guys so far?

[Jeston Cameron]

no one there can give a clear answer on why they are there and have never read the actual bill "Obama Care" this is sad! America is brainwashed!

These dummies never cease to amaze me. Check out my channel where I try to play a Banana Republic from the perspective of a tea partier in Tropico 4. Needless to say, things dont go very well for the population. XD

I'm not an Anarcho-capitalist, I have moral as well as practical reasons why I disagree..Regardless I respect your rationalism in contrast to Ms. "partisan anti-teaparty reactionist"
