"The Billionare's Tea Party"

[dawbs]

Did anyone else watch this?

I saw it reccomended elsewhere on the interwebz and sat through it last night.

--a documentary about how large corporations are engineering tea party type groups to do their dirty work.

It was an Ok overview but there was very little 'meat' to the discussion (it felt, to me at least, more like "hey, look at the crazy americans being crazy!" than "hey, this is why these people are being crazy"--so I was disappointed).

Although, my husband asked that I use headphones next time I watch something like that because his faith in humanity can't take another hit this week. ;)

I saw it on NetFlix with my daughters. It is depressing how easily manipulated some people are.

I haven't seen that but it sounds similar to a show that was on PBS last night: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/park-avenue/

It's viewable free on their site until the 19th: http://video.pbs.org/video/2300849486

Scary stuff.

Scary stuff is right. I caught this last night and I was practically shouting at my TV screen. The Koch Brothers are pure evil.
