Video: Citizen journalist stomped by mob of terroristy un-Americans
posted at 8:06 pm on August 10, 2009 by Allahpundit
Come on, he had it coming. If only for those sideburns.
Fun stuff, although I would have liked to see the reactions if he’d shown up wearing an SEIU shirt. He’s a big guy; he certainly looks the part. Besides, if you believe Rasmussen, there are an awful lot of un-Americans out there who need some union-style “convincing”: Fully 57 percent oppose single-payer health care compared to just 32 percent who support it.
Fifty-two percent (52%) believe such a system would lead to a lower quality of care while 13% believe care would improve. Twenty-seven percent (27%) think that the quality of care would remain about the same.
Forty-five percent (45%) also say a single-payer system would lead to higher health care costs while 24% think lower costs would result. Nineteen percent (19%) think prices would remain about the same.
There’s wide political disagreement over the single-payer issue. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats favor a single-payer system, but 87% of Republicans are opposed to one. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 22% favor a single-payer approach while 63% are opposed.
That’s not the only bad news for The One from Rasmussen today, either. As for Crowder, he’ll be debuting this nationally tonight on Hannity at 9 p.m. Tune in for the harrowing true story of how he made it out alive.

Yea, kick him while he’s down…..
doriangrey on August 10, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Crowder funny, eh?
Eh.
jgapinoy on August 10, 2009 at 8:13 PM
This is really no different than that Tea Party interview by that idiot on CNN a few months back. Kinda spooky, really.
LibTired on August 10, 2009 at 8:13 PM
LOL!!! Thanks, I needed the laugh!!!
jdawg on August 10, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Oh my gosh!That headline!!:):)Freaked me out:)Good job crowder!
ohiobabe on August 10, 2009 at 8:15 PM
These are getting better and better.
kahall on August 10, 2009 at 8:15 PM
That 13 year old kid scared the shiite out of me; future KKK member.
Bishop on August 10, 2009 at 8:15 PM
It would have been funnier had it been done it in a ” National Geographic” sort of way. You know, witnessing the angry mob in it’s “natural habitat, stalking it’s prey and going in for the kill” kind of thing.
milwife88 on August 10, 2009 at 8:16 PM
That 13 y.o. had been well coached.
OldEnglish on August 10, 2009 at 8:20 PM
LOL!!
I really hope he explained himself afterwords.

MirCat on August 10, 2009 at 8:20 PM
I look forward to seeing him on Hannity. I think.
SouthernGent on August 10, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Loved the sign: “The Debt Star”

CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:20 PM
LOL! better than my late effort.
OldEnglish on August 10, 2009 at 8:21 PM
No more, no less than thou
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:21 PM
They just assumed he was from CNN.
the_nile on August 10, 2009 at 8:21 PM
The Debt Star. That’s good.
SoulGlo on August 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
I could have sworn I saw a couple people wearing brown shirts in the crowd.
clement on August 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Not his best ever, but yeah he’s definatly upping the ante with every new video he puts out.
Good luck and keep it up!
Mord on August 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
It could be the symbol for Obamacare.
the_nile on August 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
There’s silly-funny and then there’s silly-stupid. He’s walking the line on this one. I like his other stuff though.
Guardian on August 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
That was great! Loved it.
jennifernaz on August 10, 2009 at 8:23 PM
The typical person protesting is pretty much like these people. Not that it will stop NBC CBS etc from distorting reality.
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:24 PM
They sent Crowder because they knew Zo would have gotten lynched…
AdrianG on August 10, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Louder with Crowder….better than chowder.
Awesome awesomeness…someone alert Nancy of this subversive behavior.
HornetSting on August 10, 2009 at 8:24 PM
I saw them! Swastikas and ALL!!!
/sarc
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:25 PM
I’d bet many people there had gun (if it was legal inside the location).
I’d also bet that a high percent of Tea Party protesters were carrying as well.
Please note all the blood that failed to flow in the streets.
mad saint jack on August 10, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Wow America is waking up big time.
Per Rasmussen:
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:26 PM
I have a man crush on Crowder… there. I said it…
Ampersand on August 10, 2009 at 8:26 PM
My God man! Are you out of your mind?! Never ever go in there without a half dozen union customer service representitives.
sonnyspats1 on August 10, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Funny, but not as funny as it could’ve been if it was in HD.
C’mon PJTV… seriously.
ScottMcC on August 10, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Denton County? Dude.
Marcus on August 10, 2009 at 8:28 PM
+1 I loved that one! I really think pop culture images like this and the Joker one can do damage to the left.
Ampersand on August 10, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Hey, you know he’s Canadian, eh?
That’s as good a reason as any to maul him.
Greg Toombs on August 10, 2009 at 8:30 PM
Denton, TX??? GO MEAN GREEN! Fun Denton fact: the mayor of Denton won the Lotto back in the 1980s and kept his job.
Crowder rocks.
cannonball on August 10, 2009 at 8:31 PM
I think they really do well with the 20 somethings. Thumbs up.
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Love those stereotypes! Keep ‘em coming!
ROCnPhilly on August 10, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Say it ain’t so
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Texans are SO mean.
txag92 on August 10, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Loved the 13 year old. Reminds me of my son. He loves politics and has since 3rd grade. (Now going into the 8th)He watches the Fox line-up most nights and listens to Rush when school is out. He loves going to school and educating his friends. He even convinced one union member’s son to vote McCain in the school election.
conservativemama on August 10, 2009 at 8:32 PM
I think it was Bishop’s attempt at humor…but I could be wrong.
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:32 PM
My wife and I have often been struck by the ability of most American youths to articulate in a confident manner – unlike the seed of Socialism.
OldEnglish on August 10, 2009 at 8:33 PM
And now back to Zona!
Zona, Zona, Zonation, yeeaaah!
alohapundit on August 10, 2009 at 8:34 PM
Definitive evidence that 5% of those polled are braindead.
ProfessorMiao on August 10, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Elliot Gould would be proud of them 70′s burns.
Rovin on August 10, 2009 at 8:35 PM
One day you may see my son. He will rip em up.
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Bunch of crazies…they had a tea party in SA on saturday, unfortunately, I was in a Jeep Rocket heading back home….I think my husband didn’t want to have to bail me out of jail…..
HornetSting on August 10, 2009 at 8:35 PM
what a character, but his message is clear…
SHARPTOOTH on August 10, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Obama’s approval numbers would be lower except that people do not want to appear racist.
exdeadhead on August 10, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Surely this is an MSNBC in depth report for Hardball.
davo on August 10, 2009 at 8:37 PM
I think some are willing to give him more time….at their own peril
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:40 PM
high road
someone take it ffs
Dave Rywall on August 10, 2009 at 8:40 PM
I have been out of the loop for a couple of days……
…… did Zo do any commentary on the conservative black that was pummeled by white union thugs last week?
Seven Percent Solution on August 10, 2009 at 8:41 PM
Coming from the king of the low road? Hilarious.
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:42 PM
I can see our TROLL is pissed off as hell at our President
for telling Americans to essentially shut up while a conservative was beaten.
/s
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Go buy your moose some flowers, drywall. Maybe you’ll get lucky tonight, eh?
HornetSting on August 10, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Love the “Debt Star” sign…I WANT one!
ladyingray on August 10, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Not yet.
Crowder is back to being funny, the last couple were so-so. The looks on the faces of a couple of those people was great.
Hog Wild on August 10, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I don’t think that this was one of Crowder’s best effort, maybe the that dead horse of a joke has been beaten too much already by other bloggers as well as myself and my friends, but it was good for a chuckle.
The lady in the pink tank top cracks me up. I love how she was actually whispering by the end.
Sir Corky on August 10, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Not only are the SEIU thugs, but they abandon one of their own. What losers.
Sapwolf on August 10, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Not exactly but this one is good
alohapundit on August 10, 2009 at 8:51 PM

Here is one that is close

Federal government health care is unconstitutional. That should end the argument. The only person I’ve heard make this case is Andrew Wilkow.
DerKrieger on August 10, 2009 at 8:57 PM
I was worried for the young man’s safety.
SC.Charlie on August 10, 2009 at 8:57 PM
Where did you ever get the idea that the Constitution matters??
/s
CWforFreedom on August 10, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Hey – those sideburns are hot.
Candy Slice on August 10, 2009 at 9:01 PM
True, they are undate-able, but I want them as neighbors.
leftnomore on August 10, 2009 at 9:12 PM
I’ve made it, but no one listens to me.
jimmy2shoes on August 10, 2009 at 9:16 PM
That is GREAT!
ladyingray on August 10, 2009 at 9:25 PM
You first, buttercup.
Back to the video: awesome. I really liked the mob trampling…. It looked harrowing. Or crazy. I forget which one.
mjk on August 10, 2009 at 9:32 PM
THat was fun watching Steve…but bring ZO along to whip up the crowd!!!!
Jeff from WI on August 10, 2009 at 9:34 PM
I dont see any video on the page
Kevin43 on August 10, 2009 at 9:35 PM
I thought Crowder was weak this time. Not nearly as good as his tour of Canadian Health care and other vids.
If you hit it every time, you aren’t taking enough risk.
OBQuiet on August 10, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Either that or it is just evidence that their poll has a 5% margin of error.
clement on August 10, 2009 at 9:47 PM
And increased federal spending during economic hard times is bad why?
crr6 on August 10, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Satire is working well…loved this. We need to laugh at the liberal insanity.
MalindaH on August 10, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Of course they had guns…it was Texas!
boomer on August 10, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Funny video!
Silly Democrat leaders: Debates are for grown-ups only!
TN Mom on August 10, 2009 at 10:23 PM
That 13-year-old should be sent to Americorps for re-education.
madmonkphotog on August 10, 2009 at 10:29 PM
That’s only because the Obama’s SEIU thugs failed to show.
Christian Conservative on August 10, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Not only do they have guns, but they also have Bibles!!!1one
Tim Burton on August 10, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Thread winner!
Blacksmith8 on August 10, 2009 at 10:57 PM
FIFY
Blacksmith8 on August 10, 2009 at 10:58 PM
HaHa Good Job Mr. Crowder!
daesleeper on August 11, 2009 at 12:25 AM
This guy is a better journalist / filmmaker than Michael Moore, and he does it as a joke.
UltimateBob on August 11, 2009 at 1:03 AM
The whole package is hot! Ack! Did I say that out loud???! Our airconditioner is broke, I think the heat’s getting to me. !
4shoes on August 11, 2009 at 1:21 AM
OT but relevent, Michigan State Police have a report from Dingel’s Town Hall. Seems the guy whose son has CP had a visit in the middle of the night from a thug who threatened him and his family. His son is in a wheel chair. Dingel says he is a “mob plant”
elclynn on August 11, 2009 at 7:15 AM
Oh, and I have experienced that kind of visit. Those big brave Union thugs do not hesitate trying to intimidate women either. What most people don’t know is I have to pay prevailing wage to workers, Unions don’t. Prevailing wage in the trades is more then the Union pays their workers. I hate Unions!!!
elclynn on August 11, 2009 at 7:21 AM
Unions have layers.
Coronagold on August 11, 2009 at 8:49 AM
*ahem*
LimeyGeek on August 11, 2009 at 9:38 AM
I’m beyond caring what the dumbasses think.
LimeyGeek on August 11, 2009 at 9:39 AM
The obamaunionthugs remind me of the animal rights whackos.
I always get a kick out of the fact that the animal righters will throw paint on a little old lady for wearing fur.
HOWEVER
You never see the same animal rights whacks throw paint on a biker for wearing leather.
hmmmmmmmmm
bullseye on August 11, 2009 at 9:58 AM
Faced something similar a couple of years back. We were involved in some community stuff and there were some strange guys hanging around the house. Called the cops but also kept the 1100 handy with alternating buck and sabot rounds.
