I normally wouldn't post a diary about a YouTube video, but I think this new video by NewLeftMedia needs to be watched by as many people as possible. Seeing is believing.
The interviewer is calm and poised. He merely asks basic questions and lets the teabaggers humiliate themselves with their mind-boggling ingorance.
In under 24 hours, over 50,000 people have viewed this video already. It is encouraging to me that people are seeking and finding this type of journalism in the realm of new media.
I'm aware this has been posted earlier by Arvind Suguness and possibly others, but alas, I think it could gain even more footing still. It was 1st brought to my attention in yesterday's Late PM OT by electricgrendel; feel free to pass some mojo his/her way.
Some of the YouTube comments are a bit amusing if you have the stomach/patience for that kind of thing. LoL
There is little to add besides the fact that along with the excellent analysis posted by TINS today, it indeed looks like we are facing a tremendous hurdle to overcome Teh Stoopid in this nation over the years ahead.
I somewhat disagree that these knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers are best ignored. What instead needs to be done is more of the exposé-type work done by the video producers here. Show the world that they are ill-informed and they will be marginalized as a result.
I'll try to update with some transcript as time permits for slinkerwink as well as those who may be at work or elsewhere where audio isn't an option.

Update #1:
Boycott Hollywood and all the Commies! McCarthy and John Wayne were right!!
I'm tired of the guv'mint tryin' to turn our country into a 3rd world country.
Interviewer: What do you think should happen with Medicare?
Teabagger: You may not want my opinion....ABOLISH IT!

Update #2:
The makers of the video suggest joining the Facebook group Health Care for America NOW! if you are into the whole Facebook thing. I felt it was the least I could do to thank them for their wonderful work.

Update #3:
Fascism is a form of Socialism, I believe...they're all intertwined. Communism,
Fascism, Socialism...they all have a little bit of each...they borrowed from each other.
Wow! I'm almost becoming stoopider just listening to these vapid lemmings.

Update #4:
Interviewer: The first czar in the United States was actually appointed by Ronald Reagan. Does anyone find a concern with that?
Teabagger: Only due to ignorance I hadn't heard that before.
Glenn Beck is such a logical thinker
