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:

…You have to cave in to Christians???
Cristofascists???
Wait till you have to talk to their boss! You’ll have some ’splainin’ to do.
Mojave Mark on August 24, 2008 at 3:39 PM
AS IF corporate America wasn’t born by the marriage of the Progressive and Democrat Party.
These lame brain numb skull democrats throw the term “Fascism” anywhere BUT at itself. Study Jonah Goldberg’s dissertation on the subject before name calling.
maverick muse on August 24, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Well, I happen to think the first gentleman is neo-talented.
Jim Treacher on August 24, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Good-natured damnation
The Race Card on August 24, 2008 at 3:45 PM
that’s so true.
i’ve got tons of tattoos, and multiple facial piercings—lip,septum,nostril—you get the picture, and i still listen to the exploited and dead kennedy’s and dress like i did in 1979 so when people meet me they expect that i’m a moonbat.
then they hear me talk—it can be about almost anything—and they realize looks are deceiving. i am,as the great one says,”an in your face right winger”.
devadevadasa on August 24, 2008 at 3:49 PM
To complete the ensemble, I think Jason needs some dreadlocks, a gold chain with a large peace medallion, and a few roaches.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 24, 2008 at 3:50 PM
No doubt. He’s going all Borat on these libtards.
Jaibones on August 24, 2008 at 3:50 PM
I LOLz.
Jason is proof Conservatism is rising in our youth.
Thank God for YAF.
Black Adam on August 24, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Yeah, you sound pretty smart.
The Race Card on August 24, 2008 at 4:02 PM
It’s always been there.

not rising, rousing

Teddy Roosevelt:

“I should like to see him brought to you in chains!”
Roosevelt:
“Who, J.P. Morgan?”
Daughter:
“No, the Raisuli.”

i’m not terribly smart, but i do understand sarcasm
devadevadasa on August 24, 2008 at 4:11 PM
The first interview guy sounds like “Mr. Cheswick” in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” demanding his cigarettes.
{SEE: Youtube.com “I want my cigarettes”.)
profitsbeard on August 24, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Really? You call that ‘bravery’?

I had not realized how much dust gathered on my bong.

Like Abortion Deadly?
How did he do that without laugh?
TroubledMonkey on August 24, 2008 at 4:23 PM
That second dude seemed more like a Ron Paul fan.
DethMetalCookieMonst on August 24, 2008 at 4:27 PM
All I heard from this was Neo, Neo, Neo, The Government and Corporations, Fascists, Neo, The Government and Corporations, Profits, and corporizing and invading countries to make evil profit and they all sit in the offices and they, um, make money, with those Neos. Ouch, My head hurts.
Well, Capitalism is the least understood ideology on the planet. It is even only half practiced in the USA. The GThe Obliteration of Capitalism 1/3.
Egfrow on August 24, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Great coverage Michelle. Good work Jason.
Those people are completely normal, main stream democraps. They have acted exactly as I would imagined democraps to behave and speak.
Zorro on August 24, 2008 at 4:28 PM
That second guy is deffiently stoned.
As for the first guy, well, it’s proof positive that poetry is second only to modern “art” as the biggest scam to the arts.
DethMetalCookieMonst on August 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Anyone else here notice how much alike in their hatred of Christians those to guys are with some of the atheist commenters on this site (no, I’m not referring to Allahpundit as he’s one that doesn’t come off as a prick)?
DethMetalCookieMonst on August 24, 2008 at 4:31 PM
I’m just rattling your cage. I can relate to your experience en toto. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts and shows — punk, rap, reggae, rock, mostly. I am comfortably conservative within my group of mostly-moderate friends.
Here’s a fun one: Being around a campfire at a Rainbow Gathering in Wyoming — literally surrounded by thousands of hippies — and I let slip that I supported the war.
Mayhem! Patchouli flying everywhere.

It’s all about Bad Brains!

The middle ground is in opposition to the progressives? Ain’t that the truth.

MirCat on August 24, 2008 at 4:38 PM
If that is poetry then when I take a dump it’s sculpture.
John the Libertarian on August 24, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Dude you should frame that . . . PUN
MirCat on August 24, 2008 at 4:43 PM
fair enough.
you might understand that one gets quite accustomed to being bagged on in these rooms.
my former girlfriend is into rainbow and burning man (she’s no hippy—just likes it, that’s all). we’re hare’ krishna’s and i know thousands of people who go to these things. i have no problem with lefties but as you know, they’re not what one might consider tolerant.
i like gomez,phish,tool and lots of bands with whom i disagree philosophically. wanna’ know the secret behind all that music? the secret is**there ain’t no stinking secret** it’s just music.
anyways–thanks for getting straight with me. the last thing i need is more b/s in cyber space.
devadevadasa on August 24, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Lord, please protect Jason, Michelle and the crew while they are there. Amen.
GoodBoy on August 24, 2008 at 4:56 PM
When the first guy talks about HATE, he says it with such… HATE in his voice.
Ahem. When a word has three definitions, that means the word is used to denote three different concepts. So the three definitions aren’t the same as each other. They just happen to have the same letters in the same order, pronounced the same way, to tag them.
For instance, in baseball, “fly” means something completely different from what it means in fishing, blue jeans, etc.
Leftists have the epistemology of a parrot.
On LSD.
The Monster on August 24, 2008 at 4:56 PM
I go to a lot of metal shows and deal with the same thing. Heck, the last show I was at was a Dream Theater show. I love progressive metal (not “progrossive” but progressive like Rush) but of course the majority of the people who listen to it tend to be libs or uber-atheist libertarians.
DethMetalCookieMonst on August 24, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Put it on a cross or a painting of Jesus and you’ll get an entire show of your own at any big-city museum.
DethMetalCookieMonst on August 24, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Video 1;
old, burnt out hippie.
Rages with a rusted out machine.
His family avoids him.
Video 2:
He had a brain.
It’s definately now on drugs.
Wow, man. Crazy.
Mazztek on August 24, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Jason, great work, I could never do this with a straight face.
- The Cat
P.S. So did you have to use that under the nose gel stuff that they use at the morgue when you were there?
MirCat on August 24, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Back when Jerry was still alive, was I fish out of water at Dead shows. Man, if your tye-die wasn’t cool enough, they’d look down their smug noses at you. That’s why I love it that Ann Coulter was a huge deadhead.
John the Libertarian on August 24, 2008 at 5:20 PM
sheesh! If this is at all close to an approximation of your average moonbat, we have nothing (or perhaps everything) to worry
about. The “poet” was a nut job,the guys in the second video, a slacker right out of central casting. Good job jason. Stay safe!
debi118 on August 24, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Dude, check it:
Parrot .. on LSD .. looking in a mirror .. Woah.

MirCat on August 24, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Moonbats with an IQ slightly higher than a plant. Just slightly.

Here are the DNC moonbats

Second video…..kid looks like Joey Ramone’s love child.
The Ugly American on August 24, 2008 at 5:34 PM
It’s Denver, dude. I think that whole town is high. Heh. I think I saw that on a t-shirt once. Especially true this summer.
Barntender on August 24, 2008 at 5:47 PM
It’s been a busy weekend, so it’s about time I wind down with a big glass of Pinot Neo – mmmm.
forest on August 24, 2008 at 5:56 PM
The guy before the first guy was great.
Akzed on August 24, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Did that dude ask for a dollar at the end of the video?
EJDolbow on August 24, 2008 at 6:00 PM
More! More! MORE! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but I think they can smell conservatism, and they scatter to the nearest coffee house when I approach.
Nethicus on August 24, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Now those are classic reprobates, okay. Deluded people endangering the security of America.
apacalyps on August 24, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Masturbate ‘68 is more like it.
Denver will be an open air asylum for a few days.
RobCon on August 24, 2008 at 6:46 PM
If I become a caricature of myself, and start to embody all of the negative stereotypes of the:
‘right-wing-theocratic-war-machine
evil-capitalist-fascist-corporation
homo-hating-bushitler-haliburton storm-trooper’;
Would someone please let me know?
Thank you in advance.

Good work Jason. I don’t know how you can do it.

I would hate to know I spent my fifteen minutes of fame spitting and smoking.
myamphibian on August 24, 2008 at 7:01 PM
I’m just not sure how we could distinguish you in the crowd.
RushBaby on August 24, 2008 at 7:39 PM
There is now so much idiocy emanating from Denver I can feel myself getting dumber, and I’m 80 miles away!
boomer on August 24, 2008 at 7:42 PM
You’ll be in decent company Legend, but don’t worry, I’ll help you out if you get too extreme.
Entelechy on August 24, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Wigga power!
Jewel on August 24, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Heck, it would fit right in at most liberal exhibitions.
Entelechy on August 24, 2008 at 7:55 PM
I’d be a poet, too, if KKKorporate AmeriKKKa wasn’t tracking my every move with satellites and radio frequency fillings in my teeth for Pat Robertson. If I turn my head just right, I can hear Juice Newton music…
Jeffersonian on August 24, 2008 at 8:08 PM
Spigot rhymes with bigot. Excellent poem. Bongoes and a soft flute in the background would have enhanced the mood, as would a chewy fiber-brownie. But he is truly an artist.
whitetop on August 24, 2008 at 8:45 PM
I’m the big, tall (mostly) bald guy.

um…. That’s probably not enough to distinguish….

The one NOT wearing the sheet and swastika and NOT carrying the burning cross.
LegendHasIt on August 24, 2008 at 8:57 PM
I guess these clowns don’t have to be at a job like the rest of us here in fascist America.
Hummer53 on August 24, 2008 at 8:59 PM
geesh, I would be ashamed if I were a Democrat. These people are complete morons
jdsmith0021 on August 24, 2008 at 9:02 PM
I’m glad Jason has proudly assumed the roll of Goldstein’s Citizen Journalist.
The second clip – 4:53 of Jason’s life that he will never get back…
phreshone on August 24, 2008 at 9:04 PM
The first man was obviously mentally ill (beyond just liberalism). I felt a little bad for him, it’s clear that WCW and the RCP are taking advantage of his mental state.
malan89 on August 24, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Talk about getting Punk’d. Hillarious. He should have pulled out his HotAir credentials. You do have credentials?
roninacreage on August 24, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Must check out People’s Press Collective web site… a must read all week.
Favorite photo: Still life with ears.
phreshone on August 24, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Riddle me this collie:”What do you end up with when humans procreate with gametes that are long past their expiration date?”
My collie says:
Good dog — BTW you forgot to mention that he’s a “girlie man”.
My collie says:
Meh – baseball umpire’s rule. I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.

davidk on August 24, 2008 at 9:43 PM
All I took away from that is that wearing your long hair inside the lenses of your sunglasses is AWESOME!
Seriously though, what a douche. I don’t know how Mattera could stand it.
RightWinged on August 24, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Would I sound condescending if I asked do these people sound like they might actually be suffering from a mental illness? I’m serious. These people are about as far off the deep end as one can be. I would be more uncomfortable being Mattera and having my cover blown with these folks than I would going back to Afghanistan.
hawkdriver on August 24, 2008 at 11:00 PM
I don’t know whether to laugh at the absolute stupidity, or too be concerned about the future of this country.
Seriously… Great job Jason

DaveC on August 25, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Geez, even Hunter Thompson would have been embarrassed by those tools. Mayor Daly would have kicked their asses out of town in 1968, despite their party allegiance. Lame is lame…that’s all.

Don’t you just hate it when someone inflicts on your life?
bloggless on August 25, 2008 at 7:46 AM
If I ever worry again about my two young sons grasp of reality, I’ll just playback these clips and know that they are far removed from whackdom and are tracking on course.
Fletch54 on August 25, 2008 at 8:14 AM
two words: useful idiots
onoyoudidnt on August 25, 2008 at 8:42 AM
I hope at least some parents take a long look at that video and hope their own kids are not getting an education at the same facility as that kid…if he in fact has one.
Awfully hard to tell.
Mo on August 25, 2008 at 9:34 AM
Great work Jason. Clearly, those who are hardcore lib Dems are still as wacky as they were in 68. Their parents sure had some great genes to pass on didn’t they.
As a 60’s Hippy who found reality todays protesters can only recreate the look and condition of 68, because they are so messed up they do not know what the issues are or how to actually articulate their concerns.
Come on lets see Angela Davis and Wild Bill Ayres show up in full battle dress.
MSGTAS on August 25, 2008 at 9:40 AM
Somebody already did.
google Elephant Dung and artwork.
MarkTheGreat on August 25, 2008 at 10:20 AM
Great work, Jason.
Does anyone else think the moonbat in the second video looks like the Wolfman halfway thru his transformation? No hair on his chin (because it doesn’t grow there yet), but as much hair as possible above the nose.?
YAF, interviewing crazed werewolves and neo Fascist poets. We go there…. so you don’t have to!

Subsunk on August 25, 2008 at 10:21 AM
are you uphill or down, that makes a big difference
MarkTheGreat on August 25, 2008 at 10:26 AM
When people talk about going undercover with Michelle, hairy hippies is the last thing that comes to my mind.
I’m a bad boy.
MarkTheGreat on August 25, 2008 at 10:28 AM
Good Lord, both of these guys are classic examples of what drugs and alcohol can do to an unborn child.
Poetry? Must have studied under Ward Churchill.
The other guy with the sunglasses? “I love those, where can I get a pair?”
My son lives in Denver. Sent a text this am, “NEVER seen so many freaks in one place in his life”
hopefloats on August 25, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Kudos to Jason. The more these people are exposed to the light of day the more their ignorance of their own issues stand out. It is a sad commentary on the education system that these people are graduates.
dtrumpet on August 25, 2008 at 11:15 AM
I’ll bet deodorant sale are low there too!
grapeknutz on August 25, 2008 at 11:15 AM

Long live Jason Mattera
Bleed_thelizard on August 25, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact Denver is letting them smoke weed this week?
TheHat on August 25, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Jason is having too much fun. Total freak zoo.

Absolutely hilarious. Does my heart good.
