"Borat" strikes again!

Hilarious! Sasha Baren Cohen egging on a crowd of white supremists MAGA'ts at a WA rally yesterday:
Almost as funny reading about the asshandle locals denouncing his performance after many in attendance were singing along and laughing. Covers Blown.

this was technically not a clan rally and painting everyone with a broad brush is never helpful.

Fair enough - it may not have been a full-blown clan/kkk or even an actual Dumpster Don The Con rally but in reality it was close enough. It is fairly telling in terms of how easy it was in getting a significant portion of the audience to happily chant along. These days it's pretty much one in the same, sadly.

As an aside, I think he is one of the best and most versatile comedians out there and takes the risks to expose some nasty underbellies.

Um, Borat posing as a Klan member. Geez..
do I need to explain to the class that his performance was parody too? He was mocking the Klan, racists whatever attendees who were cheering him on

It would be cool to hear more
It would be cool to hear more about how he pulled it off. Rolling Stone said he pretended to be a wealthy organizer of a PAC and wanted to help sponsor the event. That allowed him to bring in all his people and security without question. Although the 3% militia guys are a paranoid group, they don't come across astas beingtbeing too brightabright,t so not not surprised he fooled them. The stuff he did with other legitimate politicians is impressive.

i'd like to see video of people that were singing along and the numbers.
clearly it was more than a few, but i heard some fuck you's too.
most of these 3%'s are pretty nutty as i am learning about it. clearly there is HUGE crossover appeal to kkk/nazi/white supremacists/militia type with the basis of this anti-govt world view.
i actually have made friends with a dude that's a 3%'er...we've done some archery together. he's completely bat shit crazy about obamma/clinton/dnc and dems and all. you would think he is a racist also by his love of camouflage and associated patriot garb, however his gf is a black south african/zulu....so its not all so cut and dry. he completely IS racist re: Arab/Muslims....so there's that. we have had some discussions politically and is willing to engage, there's just areas that i can't relate to deal with at all so it ends there. we are both actually aware of each other's opposite points of view and willing to be respectful to each other as well.
for the people that were just conservative, albeit misguided people...kinda not going to help them feel better about liberals, hollywood or the media....however it was telling bearded crybaby dude blamed the dnc and the democratic party....lol. also that they were out-armed /strong-armed . lol, boohoo.
nancy, please feel free to school us since we are trying to "get it".

Jesus Christ, you need me to teach you how to have a sense of humor?! I think 'Borat' is a hoot, YMMV.
you wanna make friends with Nazis and White Supremacists and teach them how to be tolerant? Good for you.

sorry the world has many shades of gray.

So about a week before the event, the organizers were approached by an outfit called Back to Work, USA, which offered to help sponsor the rally. Back to Work, USA brought in porto potties and a Gatlin brother (who was kept in the dark too) for the event, but added the bluegrass band featured in the video to the lineup at the last minute before they could be vetted.

The three percenters are the
The three percenters are the militia group that bridges the gap, and whether intended or not, effectively act as liaison between most flavors of white supremacist groups/bunker boys/boogs/ (non-state actors and affiliates) and law enforcement, (state actors) which represents the employment of institutional racism, and to a lesser extent - classism.
It’s less of a “broad brush” and more the colors are just too similar to tell apart. Members of each often wear both hats interchangeably.
threepers are an anti-government militia. They just aren’t “formally” defined as one because... ^
racism isn’t a requirement with 3’s, or cops, its that it’s accepted, and to a lesser degree, implied. The line is intentionally blurred.
