He says coal companies can organize and look out for themselves, but poor coal miners should not unionize, they can just "quit" and the company will get all scared and I guess change their ways and beg them to come back and work for them. rofl

Please support our campaign to hold Massey Energy, the Chamber of Commerce, and other coal companies accountable for their abuse and sometimes murder of coal miners by cutting corners when it comes to safety in the name of profit, and the quest to regulate themselves. (the fox wants to watch the henhouse)

1. How much video of "stupid" can I watch in one day? Thanks for posting but
I think I'm getting near my fill of watching these idiots.


CBS says there was 87,000 or so of them, (plus a million or two at home watching on their TV machines).

I wonder how many of them could pass a high school equivilency exam these days.

Would be interesting to see their scores on the US History part.

2. Well fortunately...
Right after this I was so hot and tired I stopped the moron interviews, so thats it.
Thanks for all the support!
My brain hurts too. I hope this motivates us to Get Out The Vote and keep our majority in Congress, otherwise these morons will be in charge.

4. Friends of Coal?!?!?
I guess the coal companies are trying to put a friendly face on suppressing workers rights and destroying the environment in the appalachians. Because they can't get away with violent acts like they use to.

Not to mention this asshat was not willing to show his face in public.

5. Actually....
I was a doofuss and pointed the camera wrong. It is hard to get someones face in when you are real close, and the sun's glare makes the LED screen hard to see. My bad! He was actually very polite and nice. Totally ignorant and illogical, but very polite. 75% of the people I asked to be on camera were very, very rude and hostile. Teabaggers hate ALL Press (except for one channel....guess which one?)
