Might be nice if you posted some form of comment about what the video is about beyond how it makes you feel.

Thanks.

Imagine if someone spit on a US soldier during WW2, I miss the good ole days where people who did stuff like that just got the crap kicked out of them.

Most of them lack the intelligence to even defend their rhetoric. Makes me wonder if stupidity is contageous.

Of the ten or so people depicted, I count four people who were offensive, one of whom wasn't a citizen.

Two of those were connected (the spitters). The "babykiller" woman was on her own.

I'm not sure why you'd expect a noncitizen to express prowar or even pro-American views.

And there's little evidence that the people described above consider themselves antiAmerican, even if they are rude and ill-informed.

The behavior of those three citizens was rude and reprehensible.

But that's a lot different than painting those examples as representative of an entire march. Or the march representative of an entire movement or viewpoint.

Watched it. My impressions:

The GOP college group that put the video together needs to make better friends with the film department at whatever institute they're at.

Were those really the weirdest, least-credible people they could find? I've been to a lot of protests and I'll be the first one to tell you that those things attract a lot of weirdos (so do the counter-protests across the street, mind you -- and some of those people are actually armed). The people that they picked for the video, who were no doubt the worst ones they could find, just seemed like normal people who aren't used to being on camera.

Also, that whole "spitting on a war veteran" thing was a bit of a scam. That chick didn't even know he was a war veteran when she spat on him, that's pretty clear. For him to follow her around going, "Why would you spit on a war veteran?" seemed pretty silly. As far as she knew, she was spitting on the right-wing pinhead who was trying to start an argument at a peace rally. No, it certainly was not okay for her to spit on him (I've gotten very much in peoples' faces over exactly that at peace rallies), but neither was it the anti-veteran statement that the guy tried to make it seem like.

Hey, I've got an idea. How 'bout I take a video camera to a pro-war rally and pick out eight minutes of the most embarrassing footage I can come up with? No, wait -- that would be stupid and pointless and mean.
