I actually watched this yesterday and was completely astounded. It ws ridiculous. Living in California you don't see this kind of ignorance as much as the south, but clearly it is out there. This film just goes to show the power of propaganda. He could not spell or define socialism but felt so strongly about it. Sad, truly and utterly.
