This You Tube video keeps getting posted on my local paper's comment board by hate mongering republicans suggesting Obama voters are know-nothing sheep.

I'd like to know if anyone knows if this video is legit. I have lots of suspicion about this.

Thank you for your response.

3. They guy doing the interview, John Ziegler, is a piece of shit!

He then began a career in talk radio, working at various stations before ending up at WWTN in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was later fired after having said the word nigger on the air, in, according to Ziegler, "a rather academic discussion about the way whites and blacks view each other".<16> Ziegler has explained this event as him referencing what the boxer Mike Tyson said at a press conference, where Tyson referred to himself using that word.<17> He then began writing columns for The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News and hosted a sports talk show on Comcast'sCN8Television Network, which later resulted in his winning a regional Emmy.

In 2002, wanting to return to radio, Ziegler was hired by Louisville, Kentucky radio station WHAS. Once again, his tenure did not last long, as during a Ask John Anything segment, he discussed the physical attributes, intimate attire, and genital grooming of Darcie Divita, a former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader and WDRB morning television host with whom Ziegler had a relationship until Divita broke up with him.<18> WHAS fired him on August 27, 2003, and Divita sued for $2,700,000, claiming libel and defamation of character. However, on May 24, 2005, Ziegler was found not liable for damages as Divita was deemed a public figure by virtue of being a television personality. The case is currently on appeal.

6. IIRC he was thrown out of tea party gathering for going after

one of the leaders.
The guy is a total jerk and the love muffin at FUX snooz.

5. The video is "legit" in loose terms ...

it's part of a "documentary" called 'Media Malpractice', produced by John Ziegler. It's supposed to show how the media was in the tank for Obama and against Palin. The website link that is displayed while the video is playing is their site.

Here are some video links on Ziegler and his masterwork:
