Angry white men (and women)

Yesterday Ta-Nehisi posted this video...

... and wrote, "I'm sympathetic to white folks on this one. This is like when some fool from your local news affiliate goes to interview someone in a black neighborhood and they pick out the most ignorant fool they can find. That dumbass is then taken as representative for us all."

And, indeed, those are some ignorant fools. But today he posts these videos...

...and I've gotta say, that's an awful lot of ignorant fools. One can take a camera into a white neighborhood or a black neighborhood, interview one or a handful of unrepresentative dolts, and create a deeply dishonest piece of journalism with the footage. But the sort of thing you see above is hard to fake. It's the Rovian base, caught on tape.

I agree: ACORN pays Barama way too much.

I can't even express how unsettling these videos of McCain/Palin supporters are. It's akin to video from the civil rights era, except that the term "nigger" is replaced with "muslim terrorist." This deeply saddens me, Brian.
