The UW YD's posted this video on facebook FOR SOME REASON and of course it was picked up by a local Seattle Conservative Blog who sent it out to the news media. Since then anti-UW Young Democrats facebook groups have popped up. For kids that are interested in politics they sure have learned nothing! What do you think?

Meh
Not the nicest thing in the world, but so what, they made fun of someone, everyone does it. Much in the same way, I'm sure, CR groups do impressions of progressives and say similar things (just talk about how great socialism is in a fake accent and you'll probably have it).
Really though, maybe they shouldn't have put it on youtube, but it just doesn't seem that important to me. Rather than get all bent out of shape and act appalled like some conservatives have (you know who I'm talking about), I'll keep worrying about important issues like, perhaps, the war, the lack of healthcare coverage for 40 million people, rising tuition costs, global warming, the US economy... to name a few.
well, Jason, therein lies the problem. If it had just been on Youtube, it probably wouldn't have been so bad, but they posted it on Facebook and tagged everyone in it.
Personally, I think the joke ended 20 seconds into it, and the remaining 1:10 is horrible, to say the least. You're right, though, there are bigger issues at stake than "liberal hypocracy exposed."
