This report by the ARD television network covers the anti-Obama tea-baggers that surfaced over the summer. The reporter fails to point out that most of the rage expressed by these "protesters" is fueled by racism. Also there is little analysis of the political implications. As EJ Dionne points out today in the Washington Post, the movement has been ruinous to the Republican Party, transforming it into a right-wing organzation. (Thanks to Politblogger for the link).
The report does expose the appalling ingorance of many Americans about history, since they are unable to distinguish between National Socialism, Communism, and Social Democracy.
