Tiger Edge
Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
Has anyone seen this yet? It's been airing on HBO. Alexandra Pelosi followed the Straight Talk Express and interviewed people at McCain rallies. She doesn't put words in people's mouth, so if you're thinking this is another Michael Moore thing, you're wrong.
It actually feels a lot like Jesus Camp, where you're thrown into a world that you would never experience on your own. I think if you asked some of the people who were in this documentary they would view it in a definite positive light as being represented as who they are.
Here it is on youtube, around 45 minutes total:
YouTube - Right America Feeling Wronged 1 of 5
YouTube - Right America Feeling Wronged 2 of 5
YouTube - Right America Feeling Wronged 3 of 5
YouTube - Right America Feeling Wronged 4 of 5
YouTube - Right America Feeling Wronged 5 of 5
Especially frightening, but not at all surprising, is the number of people in the backwoods who openly admit that they are racist on camera. I thought that racism would be a bit more shameful nowadays! Even though I believe the two black men in Mississippi were right on about there being racists in New York and such, but I don't think you could find people who would be open to admitting that on camera as easily as you could in Mississippi.
And the guy who thinks women shouldn't even be allowed to vote...
Thoughts?
