7:37 pm
a doll and if it's a party movement it's going back watching paranoid populism and right spicing there's a long way to explaining some of the more extreme views in the tea party movement the media either can't see it or they're complicit or just arguably out of touch i don't know which it is but let me show you the big picture of what's happening here the roots of the tree of radicalism and revolution. this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture i don't know what it is this guy is i believe a racist. in the loop. with
7:38 pm
nine million people shooting into his t.v. and radio show his age daddy picks obsession with communism also makes him a powerful ally to oppose things like the cap and trade bill. let's bring in phil kerpen he is the director for policy for americans for prosperity like watermelon i think this is a lot of melon bill and i think you're exactly right this bill is green on the outside fifteen ist green on the outside and inside it's deep communist red this was especially evident when i have pasted it fit a story to big but obama's green jobs adviser was a commie this is the beginning this is the portal into all of this this is the biggest story in history self avowed communist activities there are communist marxist revolutionaries all around this president these guys are marxists in the

white house i have. you know they were. running. my own government and we're. going to be united. voice from the past is for a coke. oil million a member of the radical anti communist john birch society and father of charles and . all the threat of communism has long since passed it's striking how effective it still remains to instantly demonize opponents is it in the us in the descriptions of the climate and health care polls and right throughout the tea parties why had the a.n.c. obama spin doctors resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda diets and why has it been so effective because in the styria one tea party go was. curious i went to see not crispin miller n.y.u.
7:40 pm
professor and corporate propaganda expert there are certain techniques that propagandists really need to use and they're so basic that you know they believe the same in arguable to us or we never even noticed them but one thing. that one must kill of course this cloak on this message and a kind of moral righteousness you know we really believe in liberty we believe in free enterprise we hear that all the time well that basically means crony capitalism but it implies something that most americans will you know feel a surge of positive emotion about right now there is a tacit opposition there between free enterprise and communism or and that's the other technical battle that has to be you still you've also got to have an enemy or game and those that serve a scapegoat and against which you can offend all of the angry feelings that the
7:41 pm
propaganda war also inside a feel for them socialism conjures up with this woman here with me a long list of all the poking at obama's associated with battle by though right wing for example he's also associated with the woman's you know there's this myth that he was numb and so on are black so all these things serve for a highly volatile and irrational minority of the american population. anyway that's just kind of classic propaganda and it's no accident that this serves the interest of the health insurance companies or big pharmaceutical cartel you know the petrochemical interests i mean we could go on or not it suits them fine this is why they've basically encouraged this and this is why they like people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh or the tribunes of this moment. understanding
7:42 pm
a bit more about how propaganda works and i went to examine its use as freedom works close to the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just leave the government says i come on the business week here the government takeover of america liberties with the law policing the constitution and. we have sat at home and not said anything but not believing all this going on and finally what you've done the bar the challenge and come to do something and we're not going to stop. i'm. sure the labor party. and. the interest rate cut the other three are.
7:43 pm
the in. the in. the in socialism this is take it over it's got a script on it it always leaks communism you'll say something that will get some listeners and. we want the constitution the bill of rights we must bring. yeah we came out here today for freedom and i think that right just bursting to talk to you. how you got it off there was a frank socialism and one can take our freedom we're going to. have my freedom. now this trashed good name rank and now not. god.

7:46 pm
go out and get americans from all walks of life involved to do it in their economic freedom more importantly democrats. are having successfully steered protestors to revolt against the entire genda in the name of freedom faced with to succeed with a coax it failed and on three nights here to build a free market movement capable of staging a revolution at the ballot box to find out more i went on to cover as a budding fiscal conservative. my first stop with the training session for tea party was held by the competitive price institute. what is the beam to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this is opposing that opposing this or is there really integrated be and that idea i submit to the idea i want to show you one today is the idea of the rights of man the basic issue at stake is a destruction of the rights of those who produce in the united states and the tea
7:47 pm
parties of course are the battleground we're in today we are i could a person or i mean we are the thin line between freedom and the status they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army and that's something we're. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country the real internet tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do we become visual activists we are there by the media and we learn the media we manipulate the media it was pretty presses then is the internet now that's where we
7:48 pm

7:49 pm
in that the founders believed strongly and with the idea of individual liberty rule of law limited government free market system there correlations free market religious and personal freedom we lose the free market we will lose personal religious freedom while we fight for. the end of the session and suddenly introduce ourselves to this group of rust my camera phone into the hands of a lady sitting next to me and i'm just prying i don't put my cover. i've been saved on the nine twelve banks of louisville i'm a party express. i've been to lots of different crossroads movements and events and it's just the saying you guys are amazing and everyone the second revolution.
7:50 pm
i. didn't join the second american revolution hundred. regrettable capitalist revolution was on the why the take party establishment officially adopted the mantra for the markets it was a stunning comeback from the ideology that seemingly lie in ruins after the mortgage crisis really one year earlier the symbol of which was fatal reserve chairman and champion of free markets and when greenspan said missing a key regulation doesn't work you would had an ideology the free competitive markets are by far the on rival way to organize economies but if you found a flaw in the wrong ality or in the model that i perceived is the critical functioning structure of the finest how the world works or to speak in other words
7:51 pm
you found that your your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working i don't. take party backed republican candidates and most all of the country the contests the three thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and richest the size of government. well the koch's chipping in to support something doesn't pay party candidates as usual their real contribution was behind the saints. injuring at least resort in aspen colorado by hosting a secret strategy session with a network of cultural wealthy donors and how awful allies including claim big cording to this letter from charles at the june mason participants committed to an unprecedented level of support soon after the americans for prosperity announced plans to spend a staggering forty five million dollars on elections they ran ads attacking
7:52 pm
coefficients to supporting the obama agenda. a bomb a try to get back kucing act of being a corker front in more than a thousand speeches but if you're a battleground state right now you are being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who's paying for these ads they've got these names like americans for prosperity meanwhile in a test kinds known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended secret amazing. corporations were free to enormously invest as much as they wanted in front groups like i have a. republican operative seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding the airwaves with panes of millions of dollars in ads for unknown. on the grassroots summit i have paid just that off their buses were launching in november is coming campaign i f p and freedom works also use the considerable budgets to try
7:53 pm
and mobilize the tea party yani identify your voters get a merger to vote bring about a vote that's it the tea party was ready to strike because our last stand is the last man american president no we're out here on the corner in north philadelphia will be out there and if they did not out here we have my operational fallback that would open a nine of mourning for americans for prosperity freedom ride and i'll get we have our people out there door knocking and we're standing here now and hear that we're going to fight we don't like the way you do you want we don't like your beyond america we don't like your policy and we're taking it back on november thank you. for this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sweep at tea party tidal wave in the biggest one found for either party since nineteen forty eight the new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty two party members a lot of libertarian leaning individuals within the tea party movement especially
7:54 pm
when it comes to taxes and over regulations to this agenda that is taking us in the long direction it's a message of. limited prostitution the government in principle excessive government regulation in the control room that washington is because. there's a new day you know the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda in fact one of their agenda items is to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy. when you have politicians elected who want to shut down the government it sets a pretty interesting tone for the debate. for me this newfound zeal for the koch's radical free market ideology is the real river. listen of the tape party movement has nothing to do with people in year old cos trains or waving flags or holding protest of things but it is a revolution that has everything's it's
7:55 pm
a hidden corporate agendas complicit media players season propagandists a highly coordinated network of free market groups and most of all a pair of brothers with a dream to creates a privatized america the american dream of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream mean. american dream to me your true one word freedom to anywhere can dream means defending our own all right and our freedom and liberty that i mean this country to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and a government under socialism is not a government a freedom what about the freedom of individuals to make up their own mind through reason and rational bites what about the freedom to trust the grassroots movements
7:56 pm
are just facts and not tools of the wealthy and what does the sky on which this is happening sight about to strike american democracy. i think it's a serious threat to a democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it if not completely unaware of the threat they're very much a unaware of the front groups and i don't where of how their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being the neighborhood in many cases . i think they're unaware that we are to a large extent have a plutocracy in this country or at least of the merging of one rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and the way that they've been able to use p.r. and p.r. tactics and propaganda to get what they might play once we are grounding in propaganda drowning out. an iraq i'm not speaking
7:57 pm
figuratively i think it's threatening our lives it's gets cutting off our air it's making real democracy. all but impossible it has brought the planet to the point of. ecological destruction it's had no positive consequences whatsoever because it doesn't serve the people it serves other interests i've come to believe more and more as i've been studying this this problem that the real currency in democracy is honest. information. that if you are on a mass scale able to pump out false information then the whole democratic system kind of breaks up. and yet
7:58 pm
these people have a perfect right to do it and hide their involvement. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but in fact is forwarding a corporate agenda that is to stop regulations and to stop taxes and they're not going to stop in two thousand and ten they will continue through the thousand and twelve elections as the tea party has marched on to two thousand and twelve and the goal of taking out president obama and installing politicians who fought for the right to free markets my only message is truth is to be careful what you wish for because you just might guess there's.
7:59 pm
