1. I liked how nobody was able to answer her question on where were the t-baggers the last 8 years ....

Good clip

2. She's spot on.

The tea-baggers were the same crowd that turned out for Sarah Palin. Racist pricks that were nowhere to be found during the last 8 years of Bush's spending spree.

3. I am in LOVE

now that is how to handle those lying sacks of shit. I have been DYING to see someone give these pricks the REAL answers, toe-to-toe like this, without being remotely evasive, and without trying to escape. She doesn't need to escape, because she's RIGHT. THEY need to escape.

Even in post-production editing, Fox couldn't rig it to look like they'd won this. I'm amazed they were stupid enough to show it.

4. If she actually cornered them they'd start rambling that "Obama was elected because he was black."

Which futher cements their way of thinking and justifying their BS.

Love how they had no answers. LOVE how she told them they weren't conservatives and were not 'patriots'.

They've been told so many times that they are 'patriots' that they have no fucking idea what the word means.

15. Exactly.

They were happy the last 8 years because the money was spent bombing "the bad guys" in "the war on terror".

Now that we're spending money on Americans, holy shit let's have a teabag protest!

9. The only thing that would have made that better

is if Henry Rollins would have been hanging out with her at the time of this "interview".

14. Henry scares the fuck out of them the way they think "the Nuge" scares us.

Thing is, the Nuge actually makes threatening gestures and acts like a 12 year old bully around people he doesn't agree with...Rollins uses big words.

10. Now...why would anyone call the teabaggers racist rednecks?

Here's a pic I took at the ATL teabagger rally.

13. (with my best Butthead voice:) She's obviously a lesbian

Just channeling the racists jerks she's talking about!

What she most certainly is is RIGHT ON THE MONEY. Call it as you see it, girlfriend!

19. the most shocking thing about this video is

that it aired on FOX and included enough of her salient points that anyone with two brain cells to rub together would have to see she smacked them down.

Who was the film editor on that piece? I bet he's chafing right now

bwahahahahaa
