The Democrat Party may be in splintering chaos, but outside the Pepsi Center, the Marxist Left is unified. Hot Air TV special correspondent Jason Mattera was out and about among the collectivist masses again yesterday — where he was offered a joint and deep thoughts about world citizenship, the scourge of capitalism, and the non-existent War on Terror.
One protester’s complaint about Obama: “He’s still talkin’ ’bout the war on terror like it actually exists!”

Jason, you are awesome. I love it. Keep up the good work and please be careful. You are in our prayers.
First post and proud to finally be somewhere that is honest and correct.

“We’ve got to take the power away from the productive people” – classic. I bet the camera guy dropped the camera because he was laughing so hard.
Think_b4_speaking on August 25, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Zombie is on the scene! That guarantees us some very revealing photo coverage. This should be rich.

Denver – Where men wear spurs and filberts hang low.
Ow!
Wash your hands, Jason.

At first I was laughing….then I realized how incredibly sad that was.

“To each according to their needs from each according to their abilities.”
Wow. Haven’t heard that since the last time I read Atlas Shrugged. People actually still say that?
Dead on. Exactly what I thought.
JeffersonFan on August 25, 2008 at 2:28 PM
The thin air is only going to make matters worse, these nut’s are already dealing with a lack of oxygen.
ConwayBob on August 25, 2008 at 2:33 PM
Thanks to Marxist indoctrination by the public schools we now have several generations moving through the pipe that think private property is evil. Their ignorance of the essentials required for freedom is breathtaking. If conservatives don’t take back the schools in this country we are finished.
Maxx on August 25, 2008 at 2:34 PM
Wow.
Mind-wrenching stupidity.
hillbillyjim on August 25, 2008 at 2:34 PM
“we are with Obama to put a new face on a rotting empire”??
Egad. As much as the rest was funny…that was definitely unfunny.
tru2tx on August 25, 2008 at 2:37 PM
Wow he’s got Borat-like skillz. Its amazing what these people will talk about when you open the door. They are either hardcore totalitarian Marxists, braindead anarchists, or paranoid schizo conspiracy theorists.\
Your far left, ladies and gentlemen.
Dr. Manhattan on August 25, 2008 at 2:39 PM
I love the way his interviewees go silent when he starts mentioning the silly arguments that conservatives use.
Although, I have to say…Mr. Mattera, you seem to have unearthed an extra advantage to your operation. Now, YouTube’s kinda fuzzy, but the pro-Communist chick looked like she was worth a “further discussion” with, if you get my drift.
MadisonConservative on August 25, 2008 at 2:41 PM
I {heart} Zombie!
aero on August 25, 2008 at 2:41 PM
I love this guy’s attitude.
“Oh, if I only had a brain, is that George Bush?”
“It sure is, its the scarecrow”
“Wow. That’s pretty, you know, Bush being stupid is pretty unique… I’ve never heard anyone say that Bush was stupid.”
El_Terrible on August 25, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Jason is really getting into character now.
“the top people pay 97% of the taxes, that’s not enough!”
This is just going to keep getting better. I hope he gets his keffeya/gasmask soon!

The peace-loving pacifists attacking the Fox News crew was rather amusing as well.
Gotta love the new pacifism.

My question is, and this is an important one. . . did he get the first girl’s number?

MirCat on August 25, 2008 at 2:46 PM
I thought the same thing.
Especially after the body-odor gal.

Oh man, I just checked the Zombie link (always love his photos).
Those counter-protest signs are golden. Patraeus is the new Patton.

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Denver…please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for our descent over DIA. And will Senator Kennedy please return the stewardess to the upright position.
That’s right, kids, Teddy is in Denver, all set to be lauded and feted. It just goes to show that even an alcohol saturated cancerous brain, infested with malignancy from cortex to stem is no barrier to leadership in the Democratic party.
sabbott on August 25, 2008 at 2:49 PM
One would think that if these nuts were have as enlightened as they claim to be in their Marxist/ Communist/ etc. ideals; they would realize that if they lived in such a place, they would not be able to walk around protesting things.
Damiano on August 25, 2008 at 2:51 PM
My sides are hurting. Diet Coke shot out my nose! That’s just awesomely sad. How many of these commie dunces are public school teachers? I’m afraid to know.
roninacreage on August 25, 2008 at 2:51 PM
We may lose Jason to the other side, I think he had eyes for the girl with BO and hairy under arms. LOL
abinitioadinfinitum on August 25, 2008 at 2:54 PM
“I have never heard anybody say Bush was stupid” LMAO
“Hairy chicks with B. O. turn guys on?”
I knew the left was bad but this is an eye opener! They claim they are smarter than the right? I bet the only thing they ever invented was something to smoke out of.
Thank you sir for your service to our country!!! Going behind the lines like that, you deserve the Hot Air Medal of Honor
GatewayMac on August 25, 2008 at 2:55 PM
“USSR was liberating people!” Must have been educated at Harvard. “To each according to his need…blah…blah…blah…”
These people need a re-education camp run by the “village”…
sabbott on August 25, 2008 at 2:56 PM
Only problem is, it’s becoming the mainstream Democrat Party. They don’t even hide their love of Marxist socialism anymore. Gullible, guilt ridden, and ignorant is all that votes for Democrats anymore – too bad that’s about 1/2 of America.
kirkill on August 25, 2008 at 2:59 PM
It’s hard to beleive there are still people in the west who don’t beleive in private property rights.
I bet she wears the most expensive deodorant on the shelf, too.
cyclosarin on August 25, 2008 at 3:01 PM
I think Jason was getting into his role and trying to hook up with that little marxist airhead.
peacenprosperity on August 25, 2008 at 3:07 PM
“I have body odor and hair on my body….” and “guys are attracted to that?” Are you freaking kidding? Nothing like wallering around in the dirt with a smelly porcupine. Great work exposing these loonies Jason!
uhsooner on August 25, 2008 at 3:07 PM
The punks get punk’d. Good show.
Fletch54 on August 25, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Each according to his ability, each according to his need. Sounds good on paper, until you’ve seen it tried, as was the case in the Soviet Union, or you’ve considered it with the light of experience away from the College Campus.
Socialism is a defunct and demonstrably failed political system. Even now, the more or less Capitalistic nations like Canada and Great Briton are struggling under the strain of Socialized Medicine. Germany and France are also straining to meet the costs of this minor socialized part of society.
Marxist theory fails the test, and the fact that both Professors and the ill educated are asinine enough to actually believe that it is a viable system of Government is saddening.
Snake307 on August 25, 2008 at 3:11 PM
I just want to know who’s covering all their shifts at the drive-thru window.
Cicero43 on August 25, 2008 at 3:16 PM
Look on the bright side maybe some of these people will be to stoned and forget to vote.
Chakra Hammer on August 25, 2008 at 3:17 PM
This is really hilarious! Good work!!!
mr.blacksheep on August 25, 2008 at 3:18 PM
You’re honor, he’s leading the witness.
Doing a good job, Jason. But like the beginning of the second clip, they do a good enough job making a fool of themselves. It almost dilutes it a bit when you make their points, and they just agree with it.
azmanam on August 25, 2008 at 3:21 PM
I gotta hand it to Jason, he plays the part amazingly and he even gets these idiots to start doubting what they believe. He’s spoutin this really leftist stuff and these people look confused, shows how big a group of tools they are.
Jason is a good figure for us to have, like me, he’s a young republican with the means to push the truth.
Rbastid on August 25, 2008 at 3:22 PM
haha.
You are awesome.
Marx and Engels.
You acted just like one of them. Perfectly fit in with the crowd there at the DNC.

Hey why not here it is not like
10 million200 million people died proving the lie to the hypothesis….the arrogance and narcissism in “yes it has failed horribly elsewhere but WE’VE never tried it and WE are better is staggering…..

Fargin iceholes, dose white people…dirty rotten cork suckers…viva Che!
I’m tellin’ ya, hippie chicks are easy prey as Jason is finding out…ya just gotta get past the stink and the cricket legs! LMAO!
Wyznowski on August 25, 2008 at 3:24 PM
How can one *not* be into private property? I mean, seriously? Also, while body hair is a personal choice (shave if you want to, or not), body odor is a choice that affects us all. That’s not cool.
Anna on August 25, 2008 at 3:25 PM
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.”- Norman Thomas – Socialist Party of America.
abinitioadinfinitum on August 25, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Get as much tape on them as we can! We don’t even have to add commentary to prove our case. Jason, you have the quickest wit in the West.
Oh, and by the way, the video header says “Sat., August 24″. Sorry, August 24 was Sunday.
craig on August 25, 2008 at 3:28 PM
First word I learned in a foreign language was a curse word. I know more creative ways to curse in Russian than in English. I can’t explain it, really, but I know that I’m part of that problem. : )

Losers!
They are either stoned, stupid or both.
That Jason has malkins the size of water buffaloes.

Brilliant!
+1 !
RD on August 25, 2008 at 3:32 PM
These are great. MSNBC will not cover this, but in Minn they will show every bad thing the protesting people do. LOL at what this guy had to say.
Keep up the good fight.
victoryin83 on August 25, 2008 at 3:35 PM
What’s it like to wake up as angry and mean spirited as a typical Hot Air commenter? I’m new here and I’m trying to understand where all the hatred and intolerance come from. Yes, how very charming of this Jason fellow to mock young, college students while wearing a Marley t-shirt. I take great pleasure in watching the conservative movement flail and grasp at straws while the entire NeoCon movement drowns.
WestCoastLibtard on August 25, 2008 at 3:35 PM
I love the picture of the ‘RIOT 4 PEACE’ banner over at the LGF link.
James on August 25, 2008 at 3:36 PM
I hope some of these clowns have feloniously ruined their chances to ever vote.
Stinky porcupine girl…LOLz.
Black Adam on August 25, 2008 at 3:40 PM
The irony is that they all think they’re oh-so-much smarter than the rest of us.
Cicero43 on August 25, 2008 at 3:43 PM
I’ve had enough, I live in Colorado Springs and I’m grabbing my camcorder and boom box and I’m heading to Denver to Rick-Roll them bitches!
saltydogg14 on August 25, 2008 at 3:45 PM
The braindead commie zombies in Denver remind me of when I witnessed to communists at UW-Madison as an undergrad.
The reference to “silly arguments” while devastating their position was always good for a blank stare and a laugh.
Right_of_Attila on August 25, 2008 at 3:47 PM
congrats on an insightful exploration of a little known cultural niche.
like a freaky national geographic special.
fascinating…

Edit this a get some of this before the public… (non-blog public) Truly, hilarious if Obama wasn’t still in the lead.
petunia on August 25, 2008 at 4:05 PM
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry… but I’m amazed at Jason’s ability to keep a straight face during all of it!
Uncle_Greg on August 25, 2008 at 4:07 PM
It’s quite refreshing, actually, to wake up with the ability to grasp reality. And sometimes, that reality makes us angry. Heck, you should see me before I’ve had my morning tea… mean-spirited would be too kind.
What’s it like to purposefully register for and troll websites that obviously don’t fall within your ideological purview? It sounds dreadfully boring.
Anna on August 25, 2008 at 4:14 PM
It will be interesting when the Left blogosphere tries the same at the RNC. I’m sure they will find some right wing kooks. Exit question: What is the Kooks per party ratio? Of course what defines a left kook from a right kook is subjective.
shick on August 25, 2008 at 4:17 PM
+1 drink for those watching from work
The fact is that for these people expounding in their charming way about living in a fascist police state I’d wager they are being shown far more tolerance than they will show if Barry wins and he has a legislative bobsled course.
Don’t you worry my Leftcoast leftist friend big daddy G and the FCC will keep that pesky speech you don’t want to read and hear from bothering you anymore.
sven10077 on August 25, 2008 at 4:21 PM
So I guess we can expect to see a few copycat liberal cameramen running around the RNC next week cherry picking the extremists out of the crowd as well?
ashain on August 25, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Notice after Jason gets a glimpse of the armpit hair gets the pitch about the natural body odor, the camera fades and stops filming….perhaps allowing them some intimate time together?
Jason, you don’t have to go that far for the team!
Jim M. on August 25, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Deep down, when a woman senses a man with solid conservative values, the man has to beat her off with a stick.

On a side not, I’ve spent time in Ukraine and believe me when I say they were miserable under socialism. If you even refer to a Ukrainian as a Russian, them’s fightin’ words.
I have a bumper sticker that says: Communism has only killed 100 million people, let’s give it another chance!
Geronimo on August 25, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Nice job Jason, but these people should not be allowed to vote. In fact, we should vote them off the island. If it weren’t real, it would be funny. It’s just scary these morons. I think I need a drink.

yes i’m sure the 100 of millions murder by the soviet union and communist china feel very liberated.
“I would rather live in a country with a un -equal distribution of wealth. Then live in a country with the equal distribution of misery”
If communism is so great why aren’t these idiots on a boat to North Korea or Cuba or china to live out there dreams of liberation? Or do they want to start a revolution here and then cry when they get stomped like ants {red ants}.

If you’re poor in America, blame yourself. If you’re poor in a communist country, blame the government.

“I’ve never heard anyone say that Bush was stupid.”
Ah, he hits it perfectly there. For their supposed wittiness, the left-wingers have certainly enjoyed regurgitating that line for 8 years.
Can we consider “Bush is stupid” to be a trite expression at this point? It has no meaning, because most people who say it can’t justify it or elaborate on it.
Melchiz on August 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Curses that my office has YouTube blocked!! Curses I say!!

Grue in the Attic on August 25, 2008 at 5:21 PM
My limited experience is that they think it sounds pretty good until you try to convince them to give away something. You might be able to get one thing off of them, but when you want them to keep giving, they suddenly become great believers in private property.
Stegall Tx on August 25, 2008 at 5:28 PM
I’d love to see some comparison video from 35 or 40 years ago.
I believe you wouldn’t see much difference in the commie drivel from this new batch of Marxist useful idiots.
Good job Jason.
ireckun on August 25, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Its interesting to note that the Fox floor roamers no longer have ther Fox emblem on their mics.

Jason has a career in acting if he wants it!
Too funny.
“You have more body hair than me.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALHA!
Thanks for making me laugh so much today.
You don’t think these people actually vote, do you?
Rightwingsparkle on August 25, 2008 at 5:37 PM
And just think, it’s only Monday afternoon! Where do these loons come from? What else is going to crawl out into the light during the balance of the week? Well, actually, I guess we could just read the list of speakers scheduled to address the party faithful. That’s a “Who’s Who” of liberal loons.
And if ever there was good example of how well our liberal/hard left educational system is indoctrinating kids these days, look no further than these drones wandering around Denver.
These people are truly and completely fried. Pass the cool-aide and whatever they are collectively smoking
Hazardouswaste on August 25, 2008 at 5:39 PM
The problem is that Hotair captures these nutters on video, and maybe several thousand see it online. If there are a few right wing nutters in St. Paul, you can bet all the networks will display them to the whole nation and imply they are a typical sample of attendees.
