Peter Schiff goes undercover as a DNC attendee and proposes the idea of banning corporate profits.

This is essentially the definition of communism, yet most everyone in the video seems to go along with it.

Yeah yeah, I'm sure if you went to the RNC and asked some question like, banning people from being gay or dancing flamboyantly, you'd get a few people agreeing, but this video is ridiculous.

How can people be this ignorant?

I didn't see the first lady in that clip. Perhaps you'll give us the time marker for that...

Not surprising at all. A few years back, a plurality of graduating American high school seniors matched "From each according to his means, to each according to his needs" to JFK. The re-education is working, comrade, which is why Communist China is inheriting the world. (Unfortunately for Communist China, by the time they can take us we'll be Occupy America and only useful for raw materials and organ donors.)

Wow, the woman at 3:00 is amazing. She says she cannot comment on banning profits since she does not know enough about it, but when asked if she would support it if Obama supported it, she says she would support ANYTHING Obama supported. When asked if she really meant anything, she said yes.

I thought you referenced Michelle Obama, the First Lady.

It's still unclear if that was your intent at the time, or not.

I took it as the first lady (women) in the video. Believe he actually meant second. I don't know seemed obvious to me.

Well JFK did say "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".

So he kinda did say the first part. Maybe he figured you should not even need to ask for your needs :D

Oh didn't know i was dealing with a idiot. sorry.

first off the title First Lady is capitalized. when dealing with a description you don't need to. so first lady was fine.

only thing you really have to bitch about is momentofsanity pointed it out it is the second lady (btw i am not talking about Jill Biden either)

I wonder how many American high school seniors know what that phrase even means though. Do you seriously believe that teachers are taking part in some left wing conspiracy to undermine capitalism?

Well, I knew I was dealing with a right wing zealot, a person prone to distortions & worse, so I was checking to make sure.

My mistake.

I betting a bunch. if you notice he starts out with the arena empty. toward the end its full. I doubt he was standing around during it also.

no doubt he found a bunch of idiots but i would really like to know how many he went through to find those.

That and in a lot of those he leapt to the conclusion for the people he was interviewing. First one is a shining example. (yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing).
