According to an article in the August 30, 2010 issue of The New Yorker, the Kochs (two brothers who are both among the several richest people in the country) are known for "creating slippery organizations with generic-sounding names," that "make it difficult to ascertain the extent of their influence in Washington." The Kochs have "invested" many millions of dollars in this election cycle to try to bring about results that will benefit them and their company.
Thus, the makers of this video have no reason to be objective. I was at the rally Saturday and, of the tens of thousands of attendees, saw perhaps 30 - 50 people who seemed to be connected with or promoting socialism or communism. And they were on the sidelines passing out literature, definitely not part of any of the official presentations I saw or heard.
Most of the attendees were everyday patriotic Americans out to support, jobs, a better education for our children and grandchildren, and the kind of "justice for all" we affirm every time we say the Pledge of Allegiance.

C'mon, Seriously!!! 30 or 40 people? Did you look at the people? There are hundreds in view in these marches, not just handing out literature as you say, but waving communist and socialist flags and chanting and marching, at least that you can see. That means to me that there are no doubt thousands in this video alone. Get real and own up to you own party's supporters. You can't spin me. This is the base of Obama's support and the direction that is envisioned by them. You are either naive of duplicitous if you claim otherwise. I know, I know; you will now say this is a personal attack. Well I think your dismissal of what you can see with your own eyes is a personal attack on my intelligence.
