NARRATOR:
Towards the end
of the 2008 campaign,
3
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:11,511
the Republican party,
terrified at their own
4
00:00:11,594 --> 00:00:15,306
sinking poll numbers,
attempted to link Barack Obama
5
00:00:15,348 --> 00:00:19,644
to radical leftist figures
to make him appear un-American.
6
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:23,648
First was the controversial
Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
7
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:27,485
I say motherfuck America,
motherfuck America's mother,
8
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:29,446
motherfuck America's daddy!
9
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,905
America can eat a dick!
10
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:32,657
America can lick the balls!
11
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:35,660
When that failed,
Republicans tried linking Obama
12
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:39,080
with 10-year-old domestic
terrorist Huey Freeman
13
00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:42,208
after discovering the two
were MySpace friends.
14
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:44,336
Did they leave each other
glitter comments?
15
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:46,254
The public has
a right to know.
16
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:49,424
Okay, this is a little boy
who thinks that Jesus is black,
17
00:00:49,507 --> 00:00:50,925
Ronald Reagan is the devil
18
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:52,677
and the government
is lying about 9/11.
19
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,055
Kids like this need to be
on America's shit list,
20
00:00:55,138 --> 00:00:56,681
not our friend list.
21
00:00:56,723 --> 00:01:00,310
Obama did his best
to downplay the relationship.
22
00:01:00,352 --> 00:01:02,854
Look, I have many,
many friends on MySpace.
23
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:04,773
I-- I pretty much
add anybody.
24
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:06,358
I don't know
who this Huey Freeman is,
25
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,027
but he doesn't stand
for what I stand for
26
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:13,990
and I denounce, I repudiate,
and condemn him.
27
00:01:14,032 --> 00:01:18,244

NARRATOR:
I tracked down the notoriously
reclusive Huey Freeman here,
46
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:59,577
where he lives with his
Grandfather and brother.
47
00:01:59,619 --> 00:02:00,954
[DOORBELL RINGS]
48
00:02:01,037 --> 00:02:02,956
The first thing I notice
about Huey
49
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:04,874
is his incredibly large hair.
50
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:08,753
The second thing I notice
is his permanent scowl.
51
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:12,924
How does it feel to be labeled
a domestic terrorist?
52
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:16,302
Eh, I'm retired.
53
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:20,306
So then, now that it looks
like Obama is going to win,
54
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:22,767
as a black
African American negro,
55
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:26,604
are you merely excited
or are you extremely excited
56
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:30,734
that everything is going
to change forever?
57
00:02:30,775 --> 00:02:32,277
Eh.
58
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:34,904
[NARRATING]
I felt my sphincter clinch
59
00:02:34,946 --> 00:02:37,157
and my scrotum contract
in shock
60
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,742
at his response.
61
00:02:38,783 --> 00:02:40,785
I swear that boy
just likes to be miserable.
62
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,162
He can't enjoy nothing.
63
00:02:42,245 --> 00:02:44,039
All he wanna talk about
is the Bilderberg Group,
64
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:45,457
the Federal Reserve
and all that bullshit.
65
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,292
I don't know where
he get that from.
66
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:49,669
He didn't get it from me.
I believe in hope and change.

NARRATOR:
Nobody knows exactly how old
Robert Freeman is.
68
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:55,633
Not even
Robert Freeman himself.
69
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:57,093
But his age is estimated
70
00:02:57,135 --> 00:03:01,014
somewhere between 80
and 120 years old.
71
00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:02,640
This is what me
and my generation,
72
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:06,186
but mostly me, struggled for.
Sacrificed for, you can say,
73
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:08,730
personally individually
paved the way for.
74
00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:10,440
The dogs were after us,
so I took off my belt
75
00:03:10,482 --> 00:03:12,025
and started whipping
on the dogs.
76
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,152
Then I started running.
Then I looked behind me.
77
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,862
Jesse Jackson was supposed
to be there,
78
00:03:15,945 --> 00:03:17,489
but he had jumped
into a Dumpster. Hiding.
79
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:19,741
That punk-ass.
NARRATOR: I find it difficult
80
00:03:19,824 --> 00:03:22,744
to determine whether Robert
is a pathological liar
81
00:03:22,827 --> 00:03:26,081
or suffering
the early stages of dementia.
82
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:30,752
So if the election is fake,
then what's really going on?
83
00:03:30,835 --> 00:03:32,170
The end of America.
84
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:34,339
I felt despair so terrible
85
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,675
I briefly consider
slitting my own wrists,
86
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:38,677
or bludgeoning myself
about the head
87
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:41,179
with a steel pipe
or baseball bat.
88
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:45,058
But I brought no blade,
no pipe, no bat.

"Real nigga"
is two words.

He's empowered by the prospect
of a black president,

This is Otis Jenkins.
110

he's better known

by his rap moniker
Thugnificent.
112
00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:39,946
A combination of the words
"thug" and "magnificent."
113

Otis has found success
114

named Barack Obama?

in normal marital relations
for some time.
155

is as polarizing

as he is transformative.
157
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,286
Some have accused Obama
of being a socialist.
158
00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:12,163
Others believe
that he's a Muslim.
159
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:16,126
Some have gone as far
as to label him the Antichrist.
