Anyone see that "End of America 2011" video?
I know it is not about an actual end, like the "end-times," and I haven't watched it, but it says it is so controversial. Anyone watch this and want to share what it is about? Thanks,

1. Got as far as "socialist" " with "Obama".
At that point I knew it was a lie and I left.

4. Those were my thoughts.
It sounds like Alex Jones reading the commercial. Voiceover on video is creepier. Not really any video as far as I went, more slideshow of text.

7. Me too.....
"If folks like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh make their careers off of using the word socialism as a slur, how bad could it be?" asks 35-year-old Shane Johnson of Corryville, a union electrician who helped revive Cincinnati's International Socialist Organization chapter this year, which has about a dozen members.

3. I did
it's a long sales pitch with little substance behind it

not to say that total economic collapse could not happen - we are definitely on that path - but you're not going to understand why from the video.

8. I urge everyone not to confuse this vid with the phenomenal "End of America" by Naomi Wolf...
They are two radically different vids, with very similar names. Naomi Wolf's deserves to be watched, shared, and applauded.

You can watch it here:

11. saw a bit
crank opportunist, selling silver while Beck sells gold. End of the dollar, end of the world.

Maybe that's a good thing if it slows the expansion of the American Empire.
