This is discouraging, from a reader:
At a townhall meeting in Hagerstown, MD the other week I saw a Latino camera
team pointing at the Larouches idiotic obama-hitler signs, then the reporter grabbed
a young man to interview.
I watched, thinking something didn’t feel right. The young man was a member in a “teenage Republican” group, and he made his points logically and politely in THREE languages, English, Spanish, and Russian (he read the Russian writing on his sign).
Then I realized what didn’t feel right… Of course, they’d framed him with the Hitler posters in the background so viewers would infer that he supported that position.
I started to walk into the shot to “accidentally” interupt it and quietly inform him what was happening, but they stopped shooting as I took my first step.
I told the young man what had happened and it was heart-wrenching to see his expression change from “proud that I said my piece eloquently” to “damn, I was used as a pawn.”
I think he got a little sick on his stomach. I know I did.
