I just started seeing this on my TV here in Virginia, and I couldn't believe how awesomely bad it was. They're trying to play the "average voter angry at the liberal, tax and spend, business-hating, global-warming-HOAX-promoting gubment" angle, but instead it's just an ugly, fat, obnoxious asshole whining at the camera. (Aka the Republican voter... maybe these people just know who their audience is. ;) )

They have another one on their channel with some "trust fund liberal surfer dude" or something. I was too busy looking at the captions on that one; literally each one is a lie or distortion.

1. They could've used a more John Madden-like figure
but then, this video would have won awards for being produced so badly.

3. still working for me...
Try clicking on the direct link to YouTube. Sometimes my browser doesn't play embedded videos too--with no rhyme or reason to it.

5. and they quote John Coleman, who was forced out of The Weather Channel,
after being one of its founders, and, who anyone who watches the news on privately owned, right-wing biased KUSI-TV in San Diego knows, is a complete idiot - his nightly antics and goofball diction aside - that lacks an understanding of climate or weather patterns. As if he is someone to be quoting...
