Right America: Feeling Wronged - Some Voices from the Campaign T

"In 2008, I followed the McCain campaign across the country to listen to Americans who did not want Barack Obama to be their President. While not representative of the entire Republican Party, these are just some of the party faithful who turned out at campaign rallies along the way." - Alexandra Pelosi For her fifth HBO project, Pelosi visited 28 states and spoke about the fight for the soul of the country with mostly conservative Americans, who feel underrepresented by the mainstream media. From the Pulpit Freedom Day in Bethlehem, Ga. to the NASCAR circuit, RIGHT AMERICA: FEELING WRONGED - SOME VOICES FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL shows a country at war with itself over the religious and cultural identities that define America. Many interviewees were particularly incensed by what they saw as a lack of any meaningful media attention given to their message during the election campaign - including their views on such hotly contested issues as gun control, abortion rights, religion and gay rights - and by a perceived media bias against McCain and running mate Sarah Palin. "The way the press handles the election, we feel like our side's never being really represented, never really given a fair shake," says one man. "It's almost like they think of us as a bunch of hicks, a bunch of idiots. And they don't even wanna hear our side or understand us." "The liberal media is selling the American people short," observes one woman. "That's ridiculous and people should be outraged. And millions and millions of us are." "We're the backbone of this country," says another man. "We're hardworkin,' blue- collared workers that keep this country runnin.' He [Obama] talks like he knows us; he doesn't know us." RIGHT AMERICA: FEELING WRONGED - SOME VOICES FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL is a snapshot of some of the most enthusiastic conservative Americans, once labeled "the silent majority" of the voting American public. Many of them feel so alienated over cultural and political issues that they say they will never trust the new president, the Congress or the media. Alexandra Pelosi began her career in TV covering politics in Washington, D.C., and subsequently served as a network news producer for seven years. For her first film, 2000's Emmy®-winning HBO documentary "Journeys with George," she spent 18 months on the campaign trail with future president George W. Bush. For the 2004 HBO documentary "Diary of a Political Tourist," she spent a year and a half following seven Democratic presidential candidates, including John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and Howard Dean. Her third film, "Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi," explored the booming Christian Evangelical movement in America. Her other current project is the HBO documentary "The Trials of Ted Haggard," which debuts Jan. 29 on HBO. Pelosi is the daughter of California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who became the first female Speaker of the House in 2007. RIGHT AMERICA: FEELING WRONGED - SOME VOICES FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL is directed, produced and filmed by Alexandra Pelosi. For HBO: supervising producer, Lisa Heller; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.

very funny film, enjoyed laughing at the rednecks but they're a kind of an easy target, would have been good to see a more measured approach. too much to ask?

I thought no one would up this!....I'll never doubt pirate bay again

Am I the only person that is having problem with the audio? It's all garbled.

dlpcruzer (2009-03-20)

Put out by HBO you all say?
And the person that made this is Alexandra Pelosi? This is not a last name like "Smith", so I have the intuition that it is a relative of the current Democratic House Speaker...Nancy Pelosi?
I will pass on this torrent.
As far as the comments I see...
Sigh!
The world is in a sad state of affairs, too many people blindly following ISMS of one kind or another, nobody interested in truth.

Burn AIPAC members and their socialist shills in a well-seasoned oven.

stuart0305 (2009-04-04)

thnx, shadow

Natalie1987 (2009-04-06)

She is Nancy Pelosi's daughter. I'm going to watch it for entertainment value, but as a documentary, I'll take it with a grain of salt.

I first leaned about this from the talk between Nancy Pelosi's daughter Alexandra and SEAN HANNITY, who seems to be a friend of young Pelosi, and vice versa.
Alexandra FAWNS over Hannity and makes him blush on his show, and she films him at a Hannity love-fest at a McCain rally. Hannity tells the audience that she's Pelosi's daughter and that "she's a nice person".
One one level, you see people who deeply love America and are afraid of the direction it's going, who are repeatedly brought to tears, sobbing.
But they mistake Obama for a genuine socialist, even more than the Left believes he is, or Marxist, Muslim, anti-Christ, or whatever, when he's really a neo-liberal, Rockfeller, Chicago School, Eastern Liberal Establishment CAPITALIST (that's what that means) (and no, the big capitalists owners are not ideologues and have no problem with public bailouts for billionaires, to cover their own looting),
... and that very form of Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, etc. NEO-liberal capitalism *COULD BE* called 'satanic'. Since it's corporate totalitarian in economic terms plus some social engineering and PR, it could resemble Stalinism too, a police state defending the Party Bosses who in fact own or control most of industry and economy, in this case through levers of banking and credit.
But that's economic fascism, or normal conservatism, not exterminationist fascism.
Put another way, Obama is a neo-left-Reaganite.
So the a-holes hate Obama, but for all the wrong reasons.
Looked at another way, the mostly partisan David Neiwert describes psuedo-fascism on the way to becoming overt fascism as a movement not based on ideas, but on RAW EMOTION and a sense of perpetual victimhood, and a feeling of entitlement (to rule and own the country, for God). Ironically this is precisely what Movement Conservatives project on their caricature of their enemies on the Left.
Watching Republicans cry -- and almost feeling sorry for them --- reminded me about the genuine raw fascist emotion and how deluded and dangerous it is.
BUT OVERALL, ON THE SURFACE, IT'S NOT AN UNFLATTERING OR UNSYMPATHETIC FILM ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO LOST THE 2008 ELECTION, and got a Negro President-figurehead to boot!
