Nation contributor Max Blumenthal (author of
Republican Gomorrah
) teams up with AlterNet to present a short
documentary on the 9/12 tea party
protests. Blumenthal captures the protest’s atmosphere of ignorance by
interviewing the rally’s most delusional attendees.
Some of the highlights include die-hard Glenn Beck fans, birthers, and a
man who claims Obama is “the biggest nazi in the world.” The icing on the cake is that some of these protesters don’t even have health insurance (or pay “up the wazoo” for it).

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power.
