Hot Air TV: Encounters with the Left

Moonbats say the darnedest things. And Hot Air special correspondent Jason Mattera is undercover at the Democrat convention in Denver to capture their rants and ramblings. He communed with pro-abortion activists at the Planned Parenthood mega-facility on Saturday morning (my coverage here). Hilarity, confusion, and — gulp — angry, Christofascist-bashing poetry, ensue. Thanks to the folks at the People’s Press Collective for their help.

Jason is back in the field again today for the anti-war circus and will report back soon. Wish him luck.

Enjoy:

Jason Mattera is a brave, brave man.

It's Vintage, Duh on August 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM

Jason for “Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy!”

Star20 on August 24, 2008 at 12:18 PM

“They’re going to rewrite the Constitution and shove it down our throats.” Yes but not with the Bible, with a series of “How To” books on carpentry and the “South Beach Diet” books so I’ll have an army of fit progressives to build my deck. Victory is mine.

lowandslow on August 24, 2008 at 12:22 PM

First vid:

Is that poetry or tourette’s?

Jason Mattera has far more self control than me, but I love when his zingers go right over their heads. “Deadly, how deadly? Like abortion deadly?” rofl.

trubble on August 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM

Jason Mattera “08″

trailortrash on August 24, 2008 at 12:28 PM

I part way into the fist video and I’m about to pee on myself. LMAO

abinitioadinfinitum on August 24, 2008 at 12:28 PM

I love this guy Jason, He is way to cool…

twiggman on August 24, 2008 at 12:29 PM

Nausea.

maverick muse on August 24, 2008 at 12:30 PM

No stereotyping involved picking Jason’s disguise whatsoever! There damn better be a hackysack in that pocket.

Chuck Schick on August 24, 2008 at 12:30 PM

HOW does he keep a straight face?!?!?!?!?!?!

Talon on August 24, 2008 at 12:31 PM

Heh, from the second vid right at the beginning: “The Christians are a bunch of losers with nothing better to do with their lives”.

Straight out of the mouth of geek standing around in the street and pathetically protesting a convention which hasn’t even started yet.

Comedy gold.

Bishop on August 24, 2008 at 12:32 PM

Oh…my…god…

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Was that Michael Jackson?

Wyznowski on August 24, 2008 at 12:34 PM

God Bless Jason Mattera and keep him safe in the face of the “peace” (cough, cough, giggle) activists.

Neo? Like from The Matrix?

I must have been hard for Jason to pretend to be nutroot. I mean, pretending that you don’t have a job or morals or a sould must be reaaaaaallllly difficult.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 24, 2008 at 12:34 PM

GREATEST DISGUISE EVER!

…Also, the greatest idea ever.

DanStark on August 24, 2008 at 12:37 PM

Dude. I give Jason a hard time for his Congress stuff, but this is AWESOME!

Seriously, I laughed several times. Well done, well done.

Spirit of 1776 on August 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM

New Hotair drinking game?

fascist

DRINK!

UncleOlaf on August 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM

When did Jason get a “street” accent?

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM

There is a third video, yet to be released, showing Jason being outed and chased down the street by a liberal mob. It seems they discovered that he was using deoderant and had bathed recently.

Bishop on August 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM

My laughter has turned to disbelief, how can these people be so demented?

abinitioadinfinitum on August 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM

Jason what the hell kind of outfit was that!!! Bwwhahaha!!

LMAO!!!! DON’t take the brown acid!

Chakra Hammer on August 24, 2008 at 12:44 PM

Bishop-heh

back in the mid-late ’80s I infiltrated a group that was self-professed peacenik….they were sending money to a death squad down in Central America,, but hey at least their death squad spouted marxism before their rampages so it was “for the people”.

sven10077 on August 24, 2008 at 12:45 PM

they just chased griff jenkins down the street on fox, lol

trailortrash on August 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM

That poet guy is just the typical progressive.

TheSitRep on August 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM

My laughter has turned to disbelief, how can these people be so demented?

abinitioadinfinitum on August 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM

Liberalism, diversity, socialism, “recreational” pharmaceutical use. The list is a mile long.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM

Rush was right! Just dress like them and they think you’re one of them! Way to go, HotAirTV!

SouthernGent on August 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM

WOW Jason – awesome hippie costume with the tie-dyes, hippie hat and questionable hygiene. You blend right in.

How did these people become so insane?

Fishoutofwater on August 24, 2008 at 12:48 PM

I totally agree that we should be able to live our lives without, um, people inflicting on our life, such as the South Africa and, uh… the Afghanistan, such as…

greggriffith on August 24, 2008 at 12:50 PM

OMG! Jasons outfit is hilarious. He’s got way more patience that I do. Keep it coming, I’m looking forward to more undercover work. I would need a shower every time I was exposed to these nutjobs.

Aggie85 on August 24, 2008 at 12:52 PM

Love it. ‘…like abortion deadly?’ is the best line to date.

Think_b4_speaking on August 24, 2008 at 12:56 PM

“How deadly? Like abortion deadly?”

LOL

RushBaby on August 24, 2008 at 12:58 PM

DanStark on August 24, 2008 at 12:37 PM

I was thinking the same thing –

BEST. CAMO. EVAH!!

Most effective “accent” as well.

Jason undertakes the most dangerous undercover job in history…

catmman on August 24, 2008 at 12:58 PM

New Hotair drinking game?

“fascist”

DRINK!

UncleOlaf on August 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM

Thank goodness you didn’t suggest “neo”. We would be in the hospital already.

RushBaby on August 24, 2008 at 1:00 PM

NEO-THE NEO-QUICK NEO-BROWN NEO-FOX NEO-JUMPED NEO-OVER NEO-THE NEO-MORONIC NEO-TALENTLESS NEO-PROTESTOR!

Mr. Mattera, you have a great deal of courage.

MadisonConservative on August 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM

Don’t interrupt them! Keep ‘em talking, they’re digging a hole for The Dali Bama to be buried in.

These are the people who have taken over the Democratic Party. New Direction Democrats indeed.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM

As a Christo-Facist with a mix of human weed genes, I believe all protesters using the words ‘Planned-Parenthood’ and ‘principles’ in the same sentence need to be sterilized.

Hening on August 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM

Don’t forget the homosexuals either….gems.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:06 PM

Heh…

Now release Mattera on people who are critical of Islam. (Like Robert Spencer)

BL@KBIRD on August 24, 2008 at 1:06 PM

I think MY IQ IS HIGHER THAN THEIR IQ!

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:07 PM

I wonder what would happen if the “Left” did the same sort of videos by going undercover in many of America’s churches. I’m curious as to what kinds of statements they could get out of some of the folks there.

Send_Me on August 24, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Please find Antonio Villaraigosa. That would be priceless.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:12 PM

Send_Me on August 24, 2008 at 1:08 PM

No need to go undercover. Just get a DVD from Obama’s church.

SouthernGent on August 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM

And of course the world would be better off if we eliminated profit.

backwoods conservative on August 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM

How about Pfleger’s church? Hpow about Adalberto Methodist Church in Chicago, with the famous “Slim” Coleman as pastor?

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:19 PM

The Interfatih people are the greatest! Nothing like watching and listening to lesbian pastors…

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:21 PM

lol this stuff is just too good , the IQ of the whole state has just dropped 40 points . Thanks to the moonbat invasion .

Mojack420 on August 24, 2008 at 1:23 PM

Good work! It’s probably going to get even more insane as the event draws near.

Now, if Jason rolls around in the dirt for a few days and does not sleep for at least 48 hours, his character will reach the perfect imbalance of filthiness and wild-eyed madness common in the moonbat community. Its hard to fake that stuff – you gotta live it, man.

forest on August 24, 2008 at 1:24 PM

Ha ha ha, nice work!

WisCon on August 24, 2008 at 1:31 PM

I knew when I saw the video of Jason confronting Murtha in the elevator, and at the very end he gave this snarky little smile, that he would be perfect for this kind of gig.

I love the second video, with the little anarchist kid. That was me 15 years ago, and I sounded about as informed. “If you read the three definitions of fascism, corporations are right there!” Ah, the lack of deep thought, the absolute conviction of misguided morals, the need to appear rebellious against something to feed the ego…

I don’t miss my youth.

Badger in KC on August 24, 2008 at 1:32 PM

This is typical of what passes for thought on the left. Full of catch phrases, contradictions, and just plain ignorance.

Jason did an amazing job of not laughing at these fools.

Exposing the nutcases behind Obama may help drive some undecided voters away from Obama.

Right_of_Attila on August 24, 2008 at 1:32 PM

lol this stuff is just too good , the IQ of the whole state has just dropped 40 points . Thanks to the moonbat invasion .

Mojack420 on August 24, 2008 at 1:23 PM

Send the moonbats over to the Illegal Aliens. Watch them bond…

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:32 PM

I think MY IQ IS HIGHER THAN THEIR IQ!

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:07 PM

I know my SHOE SIZE IS HIGHER THAN THEIR IQ!

Mojack420 on August 24, 2008 at 1:33 PM

I’m 15 miles away and I can smell the stupidity.

shooter on August 24, 2008 at 1:33 PM

I’d love to watch and listen to a conversation with these guys, Tony Villar, and Roger Mahony…

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:34 PM

How many homes do these people own?

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:36 PM

Jason can have so much fun there…..lucky guy.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:37 PM

I’m watching FOX NEWS and these goofballs keep saying how FOX is biased. Must be a talking point…

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 1:38 PM

whew!…That outfit’s a bit much, especially that hat!

Jason better watch out…he sounds too intelligent to really be one of “them”. Needs to “Dumb it down” a bit…

JetBoy on August 24, 2008 at 1:40 PM

These poor people were scared by large Bibles when they were young and just can’t get over it.

snaggletoothie on August 24, 2008 at 1:41 PM

He keeps saying ‘neo’. Could he be The One?

Kevin M on August 24, 2008 at 1:42 PM

Oh my…he reeled ‘em in, didn’t he?!

Bob's Kid on August 24, 2008 at 1:44 PM

I bet hair boy from the second video was just wishing Jason would go away. I have a feeling that he believes none of that trash. He was probably there to get some.

thekingtut on August 24, 2008 at 1:45 PM

Jason is ‘da bomb an’ whatnot!

LtE126 on August 24, 2008 at 1:49 PM

First video gets two thumbs up.

Second video gets two thumbs down.

Come on Jason, there are better fruit loops out there than that stoner. I will say Jason does dress well for the part.

Kini on August 24, 2008 at 1:50 PM

How deadly? Like abortion deadly?

followed by SWOOOOSSHH over radical boys head.

Awesome! lol

aikidoka on August 24, 2008 at 1:54 PM

How Jason asks “How do we eliminate profit?” with a straight face is beyond me! ROFL!!!!

Well done Jason! Please be safe this week.

IrishGirl17 on August 24, 2008 at 1:55 PM

Jason is like a conservative Sasha Baron Cohen!

liquidflorian on August 24, 2008 at 1:55 PM

LOVE the disguise – tie dye T-shirt and the “progressive” hat. LOL

Guy # 1 sez: “They’re gonna rewrite the Constitution and shove it down our throats!” Do these people listen to themselves? Apparently not or he wouldn’t do the “neo Church,neo-hate, neo fascists” incoherent poem rant (Jason: “whut if we got a beat to it?” hahahahaha)

The pro-life “One Dead, One Wounded” truck in the background was good. “Like abortion deadly?”

This guy gets bettah every video. Go Mr. Mattera!

inviolet on August 24, 2008 at 1:55 PM

These poor people were scared by large Bibles when they were young and just can’t get over it.

snaggletoothie on August 24, 2008 at 1:41 PM

Did someone say, “large Bibles?”

inviolet on August 24, 2008 at 1:59 PM

LMAO, OMG those are some scary ass people. I don’t know how Jason Mattera could keep a serious face through all of that..

j0 on August 24, 2008 at 2:07 PM

Someone ask these protesters how can they afford the time to volunteer to protest? Have they taken time off from work, are they using their vacation time, how can they afford the travel expense? Do they even have jobs? Doing what?

Or are they paid to protest? If so, who is paying them, and how much do they get?

rockhauler on August 24, 2008 at 2:15 PM

Check out the Denver post web page; from the image it looks like there were more media people there than protesters.

rockhauler on August 24, 2008 at 2:18 PM

What? No Che wear? The first video was priceless but I think the second may qualify as entrapment. That’s a child just hanging out, given some buzz words and he belongs. I don’t think the drink per fascist utterance is a good idea unless you are ready to call it a day.

Cindy Munford on August 24, 2008 at 2:22 PM

now that’s entertainment.
what a stitch.

jimmer on August 24, 2008 at 2:23 PM

Just think, these people supported The Dali Bama through the primaries. In vid#1, did you see the Starbucks Huera standing behind him? Weren’t those the kind of folks you saw at The Dali Bama rallies sitting behind him? YEP!!!!

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 2:26 PM

What? No Che wear? The first video was priceless but I think the second may qualify as entrapment. That’s a child just hanging out, given some buzz words and he belongs. I don’t think the drink per fascist utterance is a good idea unless you are ready to call it a day.

Cindy Munford on August 24, 2008 at 2:22 PM

Find the Illegal Aliens and you’ll see the CHE shirts being worn by the commies and the stoner kid.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 2:27 PM

inviolet on August 24, 2008 at 1:59 PM

Thanks for that, inviolet! I definitely got my recommended daily allowance of laughter all from that one video. Extremely well done.

Barry Kearns on August 24, 2008 at 2:29 PM

For humanity’s sake, I hope the guy in the 2nd video never procreates.

Intelligence is….well…befuddled.

Jason is a riot. I hope he stays safe.

Entelechy on August 24, 2008 at 2:39 PM

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 2:27 PM

Was he wearing Che wear, I couldn’t tell, thought it was a band shirt. Poor thing.

Entelechy on August 24, 2008 at 2:39 PM

Don’t give up on him, he will probably be Father of the Year in twenty years. Not the John Edwards type of Father of the Year. I get such a kick out of that age group, but must point out that I am grateful that I don’t have to lay claim to them.

Cindy Munford on August 24, 2008 at 2:45 PM

I seriously hope he stays safe. There is no telling what this dung is going to do this week.

mimi1220 on August 24, 2008 at 2:49 PM

Jason is like a conservative Sasha Baron Cohen!

liquidflorian

Exactly. Ali G punking the left. Don’t you feel sorry for these people? They’re so dumb and angry. What a way to live.

John the Libertarian on August 24, 2008 at 2:52 PM

That first guy is a Neo Nutbag.

BallisticBob on August 24, 2008 at 2:54 PM

that video is above my Neo paygrade..

hell, that works

DaveC on August 24, 2008 at 2:57 PM

abinitioadinfinitum on August 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM

…………… teacher’s unions and their political agenda.

Seven Percent Solution on August 24, 2008 at 3:00 PM

Have y’all been watching Griff Jenkins of Fox going into the protest crowds? Now THAT is brave. The bandana youth throwing F-bombs at the Fox camera are worse than Nazi brownshirts. And they call our side fascists? Unbelievable.

John the Libertarian on August 24, 2008 at 3:03 PM

It’s easy to think this is just a few freeks yet this kind of thing is repeated all over the nation.

Gwillie on August 24, 2008 at 3:09 PM

UncleOlaf on August 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM

Neo.. Drink..

Chuck Schick on August 24, 2008 at 12:30 PM

I would like to defend this one little stereotype..

I LOVE hackysack..

DaveC on August 24, 2008 at 3:09 PM

It’s easy to think this is just a few freeks yet this kind of thing is repeated all over the nation.

Gwillie on August 24, 2008 at 3:09 PM

Those are the Open Borders Zealots and Anarchists you’ll see at all of the Illegal Alien rants along with the Tony Villar’s and Luis Gutierrez’s of the world.

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 3:14 PM

They even want to end the occupation of Hawaii!!!!

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 3:15 PM

So Does Jason get to write off the dollar on his taxes? (end of first video)

Gwillie on August 24, 2008 at 3:15 PM

Have y’all been watching Griff Jenkins of Fox going into the protest crowds? Now THAT is brave. The bandana youth throwing F-bombs at the Fox camera are worse than Nazi brownshirts. And they call our side fascists? Unbelievable.

John the Libertarian on August 24, 2008 at 3:03 PM

SPLC, ADL, Move-on, LULAC, NCLR, MALDEF, BORDER ANGELS, etc…they’ll all be there, supported with YOUR TAX DOLLARS!!!!

DfDeportation on August 24, 2008 at 3:18 PM

The Cousin It with Ponch and Jon sunglasses kid….is so…like….baked….man…
