KinderGuardians
Posing as Israeli counter-terrorist expert Col. Erran Morad, the terrorist terminator, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen managed to persuade a few lobbyists, as well as Republican politicians in their pocket, to endorse the arming of school children to counter school violence. Republican congressmen Dana Rohrabacher of California and former Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina, are two of those duped.
"The NRA wants to arm the teachers," says Col. Morad. "This is crazy. We should be arming the children."
Morad said Israel has a similar program, and that his son was one of the first participants, "Mayhe rest in peace."
What you see above is the first ten minutes of Cohen's spoof, called "Who is America?"

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I love SBC! Hard to believe those dummies were duped. Got to admit, his makeup would have fooled me. Until he offered those crazy proposals. The punk'd alert should have gone off. Made for some fine gonzo humor, though.
ReplyDeleteThese folks will buy into the most harebrained ideas as long as it involves guns and merica!
ReplyDeleteIt's frightening that morons like those are elected. No wonder Trump is President.
ReplyDeleteThis is share worthy, but I don't recall seeing the videos of planned parenthood employees and executives discussing the sale of dead baby parts. (maybe I'm wrong, maybe you mentioned it.)
ReplyDeleteLet's change the penal code to reflect current trends in public discourse. Then it will be possible to commit crimes and avoid prosecution by saying "But what about XYZ?"
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a problem with interviewees being too polite because they don't want a negative interview with someone whom they think is a disabled vet to go viral.
ReplyDeleteI like this guy. I also like Howard Stern Baba Booey callers during hyper-coverage of news stories. I also like Project Veritas uncovering cackling fetal body parts sales ghouls. Public figures - left, right, center - should always be on guard. I like those who keep them on guard.
ReplyDeletePay attention to the interview with Larry Pratt, Executive Director Emeritus of Concerned Gun Owners of America. While SBC undoubtedly duped him into believing his outrageous faux Israeli identity, listen to what Pratt has to say. He completely agrees with and supports the notion of arming children as young as 4 years old. When SBC opines "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good boy with a gun," it's Pratt who volunteers "yeah, even a good toddler." The man clearly believes this stuff, and if you know anything about Pratt and CGOA, this doesn't come as a surprise. But maybe you don't know this. Year after year Pratt has been an honored guest and featured speaker at 2nd Amendment Day in Harrisburg, hosted by none other than Darryl Metcalfe. And year after year dozens of our state legislators stand behind him on the steps of the Rotunda as he speaks, nodding in approval and applauding. And that includes a whole bunch of House Reps from the Lehigh Valley. The company you keep matters.
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing what sort of moron can have a television now a days! He really is devoid of talent!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness there are gun nuts willing to be outrages in their defense of the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, all extremist everywhere open up the space for the sensible people to stretch-out and exercise their otherwise diminishing rights.
We probably owe more of our freedoms to those considered "crazy" than we give credit for, not to mention the entertainment value they provide.
He has a hilarious rape joke in there, too. I'm sure your grandson and his mom will laugh out loud. You're a helluva grandfather. Wow.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part, the content here is hilarious! Some folks are exposed for their lack of common sense, and what is wrong with that?
