Exposing The Inner Workings Of A 'Teabaggers' Mind
Die Massenpsychologie des Faschismus
I think my favorite part may be at 2:09 when the Teabagger tells us how the Obama administration will mail out $50 suicide pills to you rather than provide health care!
These are people who have been frightened by the lies and fearmongering of demagogues like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the entire corrupt apparatus of the Republican Party.
The people in this video are more to be pitied than derided. It's the people who have fed them this silliness who will have to answer to a higher court once their dead.

I can't believe I watched the whole thing! At about 9:10 a lady talks about 'drinking the purple kool-aid' as a reference to Jim Jones. I assume it was from her reference point, and that Obama was pourin'. But it was a great ending, as I assume the filmmakers had someone else in mind for bartender.
BTW, its obvious a video like this is edited for time and content, and shows only examples which support the thesis. However, where are the Republican videos ridiculing supporters of health care reform? If there are some I'd like to see them. If not, is it because the Republicans can't find enough source material (doubtful) or that they won't stoop to the tactic of ridiculing their opponents ad hominem (also doubtful)?
The Republicans have vowed to carry on in the courts and into the next election. I wonder how that's going to work out for them. Once people realize some advantages of the bill (I assume there are some) they won't take kindly to efforts to remove those advantages.

Wow! That video, as well as others I've seen, be it other tea-bagger hit parade or See Sawah run book signings, same thing; these people are clearly uneducated and by the looks of things, they look like they could benefit from health care reform themselves. I mean when I see that working class or pensioner saying leave it all to the private sector for them to turn a profit???
Easiest people to brainwash.
Why brainwash them? One reason I can think of would be to keep these very people from engaging in a revolt of the working class / have nots.
