An American goes undercover as a socialist at an ObamaCare rally in Virginia. I found it pretty amusing, though it's disturbing to see what the statists really are like. It's bizarre that some people are taking them seriously.

If you are an American, but you are "from" Canada, you are allowed to be socialist? please explain.

Just watched that video. He's a complete idiot, and he proves nothing. Looks like it was produced or sponsored or promoted by Hot Air, that bastion of all things irrelevant and trivial.

It's funny what wingnuts find "informative." What a dork.

So this guy wanders around engaging people, then does a really poor job of trying to goad them into saying something stupid. None of them does. A couple of them realize the guy is a crank.

Compare that to the videos taken outside the McCain/Palin rallies, where truly scary people made the most outrageous statements. They were clearly insane - and they weren't being led by the "interviewer," either.

Face it, conservatives: there are two sides in our political climate today, and one of them is being dominated by racists, Birchers, birfers, deathers, conspiracy theorists, and multiple other strains of wackaloon.

It really is embarrassing for you.
