All things popular must eventually make their way to Hollywood (or thereabouts) so this news shouldn’t really suprise anyone. Just in time for Thanksgiving — when everyone will have some extra turkey recovery time on their hands — some enterprising filmmakers (and some well-known conservatives) have apparently whipped together Tea Party: The Documentary Film.

Lawrence O’Donnell showed a preview for the doc on The Rachel Maddow Show last night (video below), and actually what it reminds me most of is the 9/12 promo Glenn Beck used to show on his program last August. “It began as a ripple, an online whisper…” And no, this is not a spoof, though the fact one of the stars in the film is dressed in period revolutionary clothing makes that somewhat less easy to spot. Also, Dick Armey is apparently helping promote this. Trailer below, Rachel Maddow clip below that.

Anybody with a video camera, a DVD burner or who’s willing to contract for the service and a website can make and distribute a documentary. Obviously the backing of Dick Armey gets this thing more attention, but you can find you self-published documentaries on any subject and all Larry O’Donnell did was give it more publicity.

Something tells me Nachi would have no problem if “Jesus” were replaced with “Mohammed.”
