Nancy Pelosi's daughter turns camera on McCain supporters
Candian Press ^ | 2/16/09

...

Alexandra Pelosi, the filmmaker daughter of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi,... attended many such events to make a film about the people who attended, those who fought against a Barack Obama presidency.

"Right America, Feeling Wronged," debuts Monday on HBO.

...

For all the talk about the historic nature of Obama's victory, there were still millions of Americans who weren't ready for that kind of change, weren't ready for a black president, she said.

... Campaigns are tough and the rallies bring out the true believers. There was plenty of nastiness on the other side, such as people at Obama rallies who called Bush a terrorist, or the woman selling buttons outside her Manhattan home depicting Sarah Palin with devil's horns.

The film's chief value lies in illustrating the moment of time. It's one thing to assume racism or ignorance is still alive and played a role in how some people voted, quite another to see how Pelosi found it and stuck a camera in its face. Still, there was enough concern about how this would be taken that HBO and Pelosi made a last-minute change to a printed introduction to the film.

...

... "I would imagine that a lot of Republicans are going to be skeptical and concerned that a documentary like this portrays them as everything that they fear the media wants to believe - that they're racist rednecks who are uneducated," said Karen Hanretty, an activist and former spokeswoman for the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee.

For how long have Republicans by media and entertainment been painted as “racists” and “bigots”? It’s hardly new and the only ones impressed by this are already liberal moonbats. It’s nonsense.

No, ‘conservatives’ get called those names, often by republicans (McCain, Graham, Norquist, Rove, etc) every time we want our laws enforced and our country protected.

Sure, but even the RINOs, once on a ticket, become targets.

Yes, but this time they have “smoking gun” evidence. On camera, no less.

Even if the racists are DemonRAT plants, and the whole thing is a set up, who are the sheeple going to believe after the media feeding frenzy? Us or them?

Balderdash.....Hussein and his black followers WORSHIP in black churches filled with racism, Communism, Marxism, radicalism, terrorist sympathizers, Black Panthers, and extreme anti-Americanism.

THEY are racists and bigots, and they are very proud of it.

All of that is true.

But how much of it have you read or seen in the MSM?

How much of it is the average joe democrat exposed to or aware of?

The MSM and their fellow travellers will be driving filmmaker Pelosi’s accusations for months. There will be no end of it.

They want what Thuggo Chavez of Venezuela has.

Ok, so instead of lamentations...how about some brainstorming on how to fight back against the racists, bigots, terrorists, anti-Americans and commie-vampires who have sucked the lifeblood out of this country.

Let’s see, the abovementioned commie scum own about 95% of academia, including public schools, 90% of the media, about 80% of the wealth, and the hearts and minds of just over 50% of the population.

Now they are working on the second to last bastion of conservative thought remaining, talk radio.

Next, they will be coming after the internet for “hate speech”.

It’s truly a miracle that any pro-American conservatives get elected at all.

Unless we can dislodge that disproportionate representation in academia and the media, we are finished.

We need to find or create filthy rich conservatives who can fund research projects and whole departments in academia to start modifying the thinking processes there.

We need to buy or establish CREDIBLE print and broadcast media outlets to get the message out.

We need to proactively introduce legislation to rollback the deterioration of our liberties that has been taking place since the New Deal.

We need to collaborate on creating a cookbook for setting and achieving our goals. That’s what the Left did, that’s what the homosexuals did, and it worked!

Do *YOU*, do *ANY* of you have any ideas?

What you say is correct in a historical context. But the fact is that the only people who are slaves today are black. And the only people who are slave owners are Muslims.

However, one could make a reasonable argument that citizens of vassal states such as Communist Korea, Cuba, China are essentially slaves to the ruling elite. The situation is technically the same, although the slaves are better treated, in socialist states such as the EU and Oba Mao's Amerika.

Obviously we DO NOT!

The commie war room of DNC/MSM/Hollywood/Academia took 40 years to come to fruition.

Some here, most in rightwing media, and in State and Federal Houses, still cannot accept this fact of life. Or maybe with Hussein, they have just now come to the realization that we are outgunned.

They believe we should simply wait every two and four years to elect a knight-in-shining armor to save us...or we should be nice and not “lower ourselves to their level”, or we should just get on our knees and pray.

We need to meet...plan and decide our top goals....delegate groups and individuals to implement them....infiltrate enemy territory in schools, gov, Hollywood, and “newsrooms”...raise funds.....and train and recruit ruthless SOB’s....in the meantime get in the face of everyone we meet, day to day.

Inform and create doubt about the faux messiah they elected.
