This is the latest in the ongoing BBC series that follows McCain campaigner Martin Eisenstadt. In this one, he goes to the Marcus Garvey center in Los Angeles and pulls a bit of a Bill O'Reilly with the Obama-esque community organizer. Funniest line? "Mexicans don't particularly like blacks. And African-Americans don't particularly like blacks, either."

1. what a douche

[byronius]

2. That was great. I have to see the rest.

Idiot.

5. I think they've got a new one posted already.

I'll try to post the link, but I just saw that it was up.

3. This isn't real is it?

Putting your hand over the lens but still talking like an ass.

4. Lordy!

It's like an HBO comedy or something.

African Americans don't like blacks.

Ford's "Great" ideas on population control!!!!!!

Oh look! Look at how well behaved the little pickanin....er...black children are!


He's right about 1 thing though. It's not about race. It's about competence and integrity.... neither of which you see here or in the McCain Campaign.

What a moron.

6. makes me wonder if it really is HBO

hmmm

7. This cannot possibly be real. But it's very funny.

I watched all of them, and looked at his blog, and it's a brilliant fake, but it has to be fake.

If it's not, somebody speak up.

[123abawd]

8. ...but who IS Martin Eisenstadt?

You may well be right - brilliant, but not true. Yet the real funny thing is how many people in the media have used his quotes (re: Paris Hilton, Joe the Plumber, etc.) everywhere from the Los Angeles Times to the Times of India. Strangely enough, he does seem to get real scoops from time to time. So is this a real documentary about a fake guy, or a fake documentary about a real guy?

In any case, spread the word - it really is funny.

9. I have to know.

10. Ha! He's like a Republican Borat.

I mean, this is satire. Right?

Right?

[byronius]

11. We're stumped. Can't tell for sure.

He appears to be an actual Republican. If he's fake, he's super-deep cover, because they apparently think he's one of them.

12. Got it!!

He's a hoax.

13. same guy as Casinos in the Green Zone

I've read all that stuff by Wolfrum on Shakespeare's sister. For such a smart guy, he never does figure out who Eisenstadt is. All he can say is that he's somehow the same guy who did the "abrad2345" spoofs of Giuliani ads (remember those?):

and he was the same guy who was lobbying for casinos in the Green Zone:

but that still doesn't answer the underlying question... Who is Martin Eisenstadt!!??
