Video roundup

This week, our favorite assemblage of videos includes: HBO’s revelatory documentary “Hacking Democracy”; a shocking video of a UCLA student being repeatedly Tasered by campus police; and Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer sounding off on Joe Lieberman, Bernie Sanders and O.J. Simpson.



No. 1:  HBO’s “Hacking Democracy”

Watch the entire documentary that exposes the truly frightening security flaws in America’s voting machines.

Check out the first part (below), and then catch the subsequent eight parts here.

    Moderator:

    Be wary of posters who claim to be liberal but expouse venemous anti-semitism. By allowing Yeula’s offensive post you give the right-wing bloggers ammunition to claim that sites like TruthDig, and liberals in general are part of the grand Jewish plot to take over the world.

    I would argue that evangelicals’ obsession with the old testament makes them more Jewish than most of the residents of Isreal. I’m no Isreal supporter, but Jews and Israelis are two different animals.

    Yeula, you have a serious problem. Jews aren’t a single monolithic entity any more than Christians are. While many Jewish people are liberals, thank goodness, there are Jewish people who desperately want us to bomb the bejesus out of Iran, itself home to many Jews, and who are sucking up to the American Christian right in the most disgustng way, and who aided and abetted the Bush adventure in Iraq.

    Our democracy is hacked by 60% of the Democrats’ campaign money coming from Jews.  Did you see the zionist zealot Nancy Pelosi, chuck Schumer, Rahm Emanuel and Reid who is married to a jew raise their hands in triumph.  whoopee.  who can we next bomb back to the stone age on behalf of Israel and the hitler-like jews who are attempting to create a purely jewish state.

    How come this site and other liberal sites always scapegoat christians for everything and yet you accuse others of being bigots.  Do jews allow gays to be rabbis?  never mind its a rehtorical question.  They don’t even allow non-jews to live in Israel and they take christ out of christmas.  world class—- you fill in the blank.
