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.
This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviewer) and Erick Stoll (camera operator).
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. The Republican Gov. of Colorado, John A. Love, was later appointed under Nixon as an "Energy Czar". We appreciate this correction, though such an oversight does not dilute our point. The current outcry against Czars is merely alarmist propaganda perpetuated by Glenn Beck and the rest of the right-wing media.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: You can make a difference in the health care debate without leaving your bedroom. So stop typing that narcissistic Facebook status, pause your Mafia Wars game, and actually do something in reality to advance the cause you support on Facebook by calling your representative. This is so easy. Many people are timid about making phone calls, but a phone call to your representative now could save you a series of phone calls to an uncooperative insurance company in the future. Too lazy to look up your representative's number? This website makes it even easier--it will find the number, call it for you, and then call your cell phone to connect you. Tell your representative's office that you support comprehensive health care reform, and urge them to support the public option. http://tools.advomatic.com/8/hcn
"We can do this. At this point, all that stands in the way of universal health care in America are the greed of the medical-industrial complex, the lies of the right-wing propaganda machine, and the gullibility of voters who believe those lies." - Paul Krugman, The Swiss Menace http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/opi...

haha lets find all the people that look like dumbasses. its funnier when u find the crazy liberals out of the crowd. they talk about spaceships n shit haha
These people are compelling evidence that a pure, direct democracy would be doomed to utter failure....
Edward Bernays understood all too well just how powerful propaganda could be. And 100 years later - through countless professional practitioners of his wizardry - this is the result.
I seem to recall that many conservative segments also called that same dissent during the Bush administration to be anti-American or un-American, and yet dissent now is considered by those same segments to be patriotic and truly American.
For 8 fucking years we listened to you liberals bitch and complain and put up with it. For 8 years we heard dissent is patriotic I guess you meant that when people agree with you but when they don't agree well they are just teabaggers. So much for honest debate, you hypocrites only want that when you want to bitch. You liberals are so full of shit, it's coming out of your ears. This is the same tactics of all history, try to marginalize the opposition by name calling. Way to go you 6 year olds
That's a farce, It's like saying just because you made your credit card payment at the end of the month that you are not in debt, when in fact you still carry a $20,000 balance.... all you really did was make the monthly $200 payment. The reason healthcare is expensive is mainly overregulation by the government. I can buy most meds over the counter in other countries but here I HAVE to go to the doctor first and get a prescription,,,, there are other things that would save money.
Wow, really? You think that screaming "I want money!" outside the capitol is really gonna help you? Poor beggars. Like you think that this is going to make our country better? Unbelievable. You guys are a sorry excuse for protesters. Go home already.

Oh yea, already have.
I'd rather have the Tea Party people any day, watching my back. No arrests, no fires, no public distruction and cleans up.
Did you see the Obama innagural mess left behind?
What about the "left". ha ha ha.
And your edited propaganda film is just that; propaganda to further your own conceptions.
It fools only U.
You judges, look at yourselves first!

The door opens both ways here.
