Article Excerpt:

We're new to this guy, and we're not enamored of defining problems in terms of liberal vs. conservative.  It's generally divisive and overly simplistic.  But this clip satisfies a desire to express an opinion I've held since the town hall protests began: with a few exceptions, these are legitimate expressions of anger and frustration not affiliated by party.  The natives are restless and angry.  And the outrage over the bailout of failed Wall Street banks, Fannie, Freddie, and AIG is an insidious river of percolating hate.  Career politicians beware the wrath of 2010.

Pundits like us to think that we all must fit neatly within one camp or the other.  It's all part of the grand masquerade while the private bash rages on. The corporate and special interest lobby are the only game in town, and taxpayers keep getting our asses kicked every time we show up to play.

Crowder goes inside a liberal California PAC for a job interview and brings along a hidden camera.  The hypocrisy becomes evident quickly.  The interviewer considers the activism organized, fake and astroturf unless of course she happens to agree with the cause.  In that case, it's distinctly a grassroots movement.  This is the kind of shite that really pisses me off.
