NARRATOR:
Towards the endof the 2008 campaign,
3
00:00:09,261 --> 00:00:12,093
the Republican party,terrified at their own
4
00:00:12,091 --> 00:00:15,657
sinking poll numbers,attempted to link Barack Obama
5
00:00:15,655 --> 00:00:20,254
to radical leftist figuresto make him appear un-American.
6
00:00:20,251 --> 00:00:24,216
First was the controversialReverend Jeremiah Wright.
7
00:00:24,214 --> 00:00:27,846
I say motherfuck America,
motherfuck America's mother,
8
00:00:27,843 --> 00:00:29,643
motherfuck America's daddy!
9
00:00:29,643 --> 00:00:31,275
America can eat a dick!
10
00:00:31,275 --> 00:00:33,241
America can lick the balls!
11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,205
When that failed,Republicans tried linking Obama
12
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:39,469
with 10-year-old domesticterrorist Huey Freeman
13
00:00:39,468 --> 00:00:42,634
after discovering the twowere MySpace friends.
14
00:00:42,632 --> 00:00:44,863
Did they leave each other
glitter comments?
15
00:00:44,862 --> 00:00:46,696
The public has
a right to know.
16
00:00:46,696 --> 00:00:49,561
Okay, this is a little boy
who thinks that Jesus is black,
17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,292
Ronald Reagan is the devil
18
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:53,223
and the government
is lying about 9/11.
19
00:00:53,223 --> 00:00:55,821
Kids like this need to be
on America's shit list,
20
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:57,220
not our friend list.
21
00:00:57,219 --> 00:01:00,750
Obama did his bestto downplay the relationship.
22
00:01:00,749 --> 00:01:03,149
Look, I have many,
many friends on MySpace.
23
00:01:03,147 --> 00:01:05,046
I-- I pretty much
add anybody.
24
00:01:05,046 --> 00:01:06,844
I don't know
who this Huey Freeman is,
25
00:01:06,844 --> 00:01:09,277
but he doesn't stand
for what I stand for
26
00:01:09,275 --> 00:01:14,241
and I denounce, I repudiate,
and condemn him.
27
00:01:14,238 --> 00:01:18,637

NARRATOR:
I tracked down the notoriouslyreclusive Huey Freeman here,
46
00:01:57,635 --> 00:02:00,534
where he lives with hisGrandfather and brother.
47

[DOORBELL RINGS]
48
00:02:01,930 --> 00:02:03,630
The first thing I noticeabout Huey
49
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:05,961
is his incredibly large hair.
50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,792
The second thing I noticeis his permanent scowl.
51
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:13,789
How does it feel to be labeled
a domestic terrorist?
52
00:02:13,786 --> 00:02:17,253
Eh, I'm retired.
53
00:02:17,252 --> 00:02:21,184
So then, now that it looks
like Obama is going to win,
54
00:02:21,181 --> 00:02:23,813
as a black
African American negro,
55
00:02:23,812 --> 00:02:27,578
are you merely excited
or are you extremely excited
56
00:02:27,576 --> 00:02:31,408
that everything is going
to change forever?
57
00:02:31,406 --> 00:02:33,172
Eh.
58
00:02:33,171 --> 00:02:35,570
[NARRATING]
I felt my sphincter clinch
59
00:02:35,569 --> 00:02:38,034
and my scrotum contractin shock
60
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:39,765
at his response.
61
00:02:39,764 --> 00:02:41,630
I swear that boy
just likes to be miserable.
62
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:42,829
He can't enjoy nothing.
63
00:02:42,828 --> 00:02:44,894
All he wanna talk about
is the Bilderberg Group,
64
00:02:44,894 --> 00:02:46,793
the Federal Reserve
and all that bullshit.
65
00:02:46,793 --> 00:02:48,292
I don't know where
he get that from.
66
00:02:48,291 --> 00:02:50,656
He didn't get it from me.
I believe in hope and change.

00:02:50,655 --> 00:02:54,422
NARRATOR:
Nobody knows exactly how oldRobert Freeman is.
68
00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:56,385
Not evenRobert Freeman himself.
69
00:02:56,384 --> 00:02:57,883
But his age is estimated
70
00:02:57,884 --> 00:03:01,816
somewhere between 80and 120 years old.
71
00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:03,413
This is what me
and my generation,
72
00:03:03,412 --> 00:03:06,977
but mostly me, struggled for.
Sacrificed for, you can say,
73
00:03:06,976 --> 00:03:09,675
personally individually
paved the way for.
74
00:03:09,673 --> 00:03:11,072
The dogs were after us,
75
00:03:11,072 --> 00:03:13,338
so I took off my belt and
started whipping on the dogs.
76
00:03:13,337 --> 00:03:15,403
Then I started running.
Then I looked behind me.
77
00:03:15,403 --> 00:03:17,102
Jesse Jackson was supposed
to be there,
78
00:03:17,101 --> 00:03:18,899
but he had jumped
into a Dumpster. Hiding.
79
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:20,898
That punk-ass.
NARRATOR: I find it difficult
80
00:03:20,896 --> 00:03:23,695
to determine whether Robertis a pathological liar
81
00:03:23,694 --> 00:03:26,893
or sufferingthe early stages of dementia.
82
00:03:26,891 --> 00:03:31,291
So if the election is fake,
then what's really going on?
83
00:03:31,289 --> 00:03:32,987
The end of America.
84
00:03:32,987 --> 00:03:35,087
I felt despair so terrible
85
00:03:35,085 --> 00:03:37,650
I briefly considerslitting my own wrists,
86
00:03:37,649 --> 00:03:39,648
or bludgeoning myselfabout the head
87
00:03:39,648 --> 00:03:41,947
with a steel pipeor baseball bat.
88
00:03:41,946 --> 00:03:45,845
But I brought no blade,no pipe, no bat.
89
00:03:45,842 --> 00:03:48,442
Describe Riley Freeman
in one word.
90
00:03:48,441 --> 00:03:51,273
Mm, I'd say real nigga.
91
00:03:51,272 --> 00:03:52,970
"Real nigga"
is two words.
92
00:03:52,969 --> 00:03:54,269
I know it's two words, nigga.
93
00:03:54,269 --> 00:03:56,034
Real niggas
don't follow instructions.

00:03:56,033 --> 00:03:58,899
NARRATOR:
This is Robert Freeman'sother grandson, Riley.
95
00:03:58,898 --> 00:04:02,197
He's empowered by the prospectof a black president,
96
00:04:02,195 --> 00:04:04,794
but not in the waysociety would hope or expect.
97
00:04:04,793 --> 00:04:07,792

Come on, what's a cop
gonna do to me?
102

I'm gonna be like, "Don't make
me call the president, bitch."
103
00:04:16,983 --> 00:04:20,948
And the cops, he gonna be like,
"Oh, snap, Riley a real nigga,

00:04:20,946 --> 00:04:23,912

This is Otis Jenkins.
110
00:04:32,237 --> 00:04:34,769
But in the United States,he's better known
111
00:04:34,768 --> 00:04:37,167
by his rap monikerThugnificent.
112
00:04:37,165 --> 00:04:40,630
A combination of the words"thug" and "magnificent."
113
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:42,229
Otis has found success
114
00:04:42,228 --> 00:04:44,960
like many Negro-Americanentertainers today
115
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,492
by beinga professional buffoon.

For what?
For president.

You don't know

named Barack Obama?
121
00:04:57,514 --> 00:04:58,980
His name is Barack?

we started working
together for Barack...

to Barack.

It is always obviouswhen a couple hasn't engaged

in normal marital relationsfor some time.
155
00:06:04,159 --> 00:06:06,691
Obama, of course,is as polarizing

as he is transformative.
157
00:06:07,988 --> 00:06:10,954
Some have accused Obamaof being a socialist.
158
00:06:10,952 --> 00:06:12,984
Others believethat he's a Muslim.
159
00:06:12,984 --> 00:06:16,749
Some have gone as faras to label him the Antichrist.

He is the socialist Muslim
