9.12 DC TEA PARTY - March Footage with Interviews

View our B-Roll from this event here:

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.

1:24 person behind speaker misspelled fascism

These guys aren't real Libertarians. Please don't let these Republican rejects flaw your understanding of the LP.

[HillChris1234]

No, I agree.

[Jorge Hernandez]

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!

[Joker80808]

aint that the truth

[john hamill]

Its also a fact that a divided poulation is much easier to control.....

[Agrippa Maxentius]

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"
