In which Chase Whiteside shows what's really going on.
Before I go into this, let's take an inventory:
1 - Al Sharpton runs the Black Panthers who had scheduled a conflict with Beck's supporters
2 - Most Beck fans that were asked had not seen the widely circulated clip of him openly calling Obama a racist nor heard Beck walk back his accusation just days before the rally they all attended.
3 - Barack Obama is responsible for whites and blacks fighting one another
4 - Barack Obama doesn't believe in America so much that he fought long and hard to be her leader
5 - Conservatives still don't know the difference between a Mosque and what is the Muslim equivalent of a YMCA
6 - Ben Franklin uses a cell-phone
And while Chase Whiteside and New Left's piece didn't show any racists, neo-nazis, or completely unglued right-wingers hell-bent on blowing something up, it did show us that people within the conservative movement are more than willing to ignore the truth and believe any fringe meme that is spoon-fed to them by Beck and his ilk.
And while Beck framed this as a "non-political event", it appeared that there were plenty of those interviewed that were there for overtly political reasons. Why do you think that was?
I'm sure you already know the answer.

The Face Of A Tea Bagger: Pt II b/w Comment Response
Chase Whiteside again does the work that most media won't do
Before I get into why Chase's reporting is so revealing of what Tea Baggers really know, here's a reader comment I received earlier regarding Ron Paul and Palin's participation in the "movement".
While this anonymous person has a point that Ron Paul supporters have been known to rally around their cause, it's a bit disingenuous to claim that they started the first Tea Bagger shoutfest. That seems more like latching onto what FreedomWorks has managed to accomplish within the last year.
Not only that, but one would think that a group that is so impassioned, so willing to rally around Ron Paul's every breath, that they would distance themselves from the Palin fanatics that make up a massive portion of the Tea Bagger movement.
The fundraising point is a bit odd as well. After all, Scott Brown raised well over $1million in about 24 hours and now look how he is viewed by conservatives. I think the phrase buyers remorse is quite apropos here.
The broader point of my piece, which was taking on the current incarnation of conservative protesters, was that they really have no clear goals or leadership. It was to that end that I tied in the Paulites and how the remainder of the Tea Baggers were quite incensed that he even be mentioned in the same breath as a person like Palin, Beck, or Limbaugh.
By and large, the Tea Baggers are simply reflexive in nature, regardless of who they are supporting. This is evidenced in Chase Whiteside's video. They see something that sounds "pretty" ( Obama's a commie-socialist-marxist that's going to take away your guns and Bible ) or someone that's "pretty" ( I guess Palin would be the only choice here, considering her Milf-ish exterior ) and they just run with it until something better comes along.
But what Chase does is something that no major news network is going to do - show these people for who they really are. Wasn't there a report out that showed how these people are somehow more educated and thereby more attune to what is going on in America? Doesn't appear that way does it. Particularly with the lady who's obviously a Ron Paul fan.

You need to do some research on your history before you go running your mouth on a blog and make yourself out to look dumber than Palin.
Google:
- Ron Paul Tea Party 2007
- Neo-Con
- Tea Party Hijacked
Youtube:
- Palin lying
Your lack of understanding about how the ORIGINAL Tea Party was 100% in support of Ron Paul and his message, and the fact that he raise a WORLD RECORD for political contributions in a 24 hour period, $4.3 million is astonishing.
Furthermore, the neo-cons saw dollar signs when Ron Paul's Tea Party, but was already locked in with McCain and couldn't just up and leave that during 2008. So Palin quit her day job as Governor of Alaska in 2009, and now make 10 times that amount going to conventions and selling her stupid book. Now she is trying to redirect funds that should be going to Ron Paul into her own pocket.
PALIN is a greedy, lying, retarded puppet that will say or do anything to improve her ratings and profits.
Do your homework or you risk making yourself look like an ass....oops...too late.
RON PAUL REVOLUTION
RON PAUL 2012
FACE IT, RON IS THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE.

Ill-Informed Electorate
Not enough good can be said about Chase Whiteside.
Did you see the woman with the Scott Brown t-shirt? How's the "shot heard 'round the world" working out for you Tea Baggers now? Interesting ( to use the hottest Fox"News" word these days ) that he's suddenly absent from the airwaves of late.
This video clearly refreshes the memory that the Tea Baggers have no clue what's going on.
