WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN THE US OF A?? SCARIEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN AGES & REMINISCENT OF NAZI GERMANY IMHO
I am staggered by what I have seen in this video, elected representatives speaking of Muslim American citizens in awfully disparaging terms, one saying that her son & other Marines would happily despatch them to 'paradise' ahead of time...say what?? This is scary & clearly many will argue that it's just a minority (as of course it is) but all this Tea Party reactionary conservatism & rabid intolerance is not encouraging in terms of where the worlds only true superpower & major meddler in global affairs (only ever acting in self-interest lets be realistic here) under the dogma of realpolitik Hmmm scary scary scary for more revealing insight check the work of Noam Chompsky, Robert Fisk, John Pilger, John Simpson and other brave crusading journalists who try to tell it like it actually is once the free market propaganda has been stripped off of course or even the revelations of how Western powers operate as documented in the Wikileaks releases...anyway enough for now just can't get over what I saw here...your thoughts welcome and all views are my own of course and subject to change over the course of reasoned debate and well-founded alternate opinions...peace!

The hatred displayed here is revolting and makes me wish I were Canadian, but hatred is universal. Propaganda and ignorance are a deadly combo.
you said it charlotte this sort of thing happens and has happened all over the world it's not an american thing it's a fascist/fear thing & it must be recognised big battle underway in the states culturally at mo fascinating but that vid just gave me the wobblies
America is a capitalist society of insatiable greed and Machiavellian dreams where Media is God. We are a breeding ground for the deranged and supremely hateful and racist. Oil prices at times are more important than our fellow human. Here's hoping for some positive change.
I agree with you both, and this video makes me very sad. I used to feel ashamed of being American because of people like the ones seen protesting and spreading such ugliness in this clip. However, it would be unfortunate to allow those sorts of individuals to outshine other voices. Don't forget brave journalists like Amy Goodman who use the media to inform the public and educate people by offering another perspective. Free speech is one of America's great gifts! http://www.democracynow.org
