Wanted: Video clips of angry white mobs from the '60's

[me b zola]

We can argue (or not :)) about how much President Obama's race plays into the "rage" of the rw, but I think that we can all agree that race is, at the very least, a large component to the rw getting their mobs organized and unhinged.

I'm beyond pissed off at the majority of the media's coverage portraying the birther/tea bagger/anti-Obama/anti-health care reform nuts as rational people who "want to be heard". Bullocks. These mobs are no more rational or moral than the mobs attempting to block African Americans from integrating into white schools or intimidating Black folks who marched for civil rights. How quickly we (as a nation) have forgotten what those types of mobs have historically represented.

The manner in which the media is covering the lunatic rw is giving political coverage to Senate members to kill (or weaken to the point that it should be killed) health care reform. I want video clips of angry white mobs from the sixties to illustrate my letters to media outlets. My hope is that someone with more skills then I posses will use the clips that I'm looking for to create a video to help people remember why those nasty mobs seem so familiar.

2. Excellent article

In my search of youtube for video I was blown away by some of the responses to one clip that I was going to use. No doubt these are many of the people showing up at the town halls:

3. that one comment makes me shake my head ...

One of the anti-dem talking points is that, "if left up to liberals, we'd be speaking German right now."

But then, the talking point is also often "Germany never attacked us, why did FDR have us go after them?"

Yet another cognitive disconnect ...
