Heads up, Denver! (and surrounding areas)
Tonight at 9:00 KBDI (PBS) will be re-airing "Camp FEMA" during their pledge drive.

Passing itself off as a 'documentary' it's really a vehicle for stirring up more fear of Obama. Using Fox news clips of Bachmann and Beck, and playing old news reel footage from Germany pre-WWII with sinister music in the background, the film strives to equate Obama with Hitler. I managed to watch the whole thing, and was horrified when station personnel congratulated the film's producer and praised him as 'another Michael Moore'. We can be sure that the 9-12ers and teabaggers will latch onto this thing and use it as a source for "facts".

Before it airs tonight I'm calling during their live pledge breaks and 'unpledging', telling them that I do not support the promotion of racism that is the substance of "Camp FEMA". When this aired last week their phone-bank was manned by rightwing supporters of the film, so it's doubtful that negative messages were delivered to station staff.

Watch it if you can, but keep a bucket handy.
