Nation contributor Max Blumenthal (author of Republican Gomorrah) teams up with AlterNet to present a short documentary on the 9/12 tea party protests. Blumenthal captures the protest’s atmosphere of ignorance by interviewing the rally’s most delusional attendees. Some of the highlights include die-hard Glenn Beck fans, birthers, and a man who claims Obama is “the biggest nazi in the world.” The icing on the cake is that some of these protesters don’t even have health insurance (or pay “up the wazoo” for it).
