FreedomWorks Reportedly Made Fake Hillary Clinton-Panda Sex Video

A magazine story says the Tea Party group decided not to show it to a gathering of thousands of conservatives

Feb 14, 2013 by Lisa Fine

Staff Writer t

Freedom Works, the powerful Tea Party organization, reportedly made a promotional video featuring a woman wearing a panda costume pretending to have oral sex with another wearing a Hillary Clinton mask, Mother Jones magazine reports.

The group was apparently planning to show the video on a large screen at FreePac, a conference of thousands of conservatives in Dallas, Texas, last summer. But they ultimately decided not to screen it after several FreedomWorks staffers raised objections, Mother Jones wrote. The liberal-leaning magazine has previously written stories about internal troubles at Freedom Works.

The video was produced last year under the supervision of Adam Brandon, executive vice president of the group. Two female interns played the parts of Clinton and the panda. FreedomWorks has used the panda costume at protests to portray progressives as panderers, Mother Jones said.

A section of the video reportedly shows Brandon waking from a nap at his desk, wandering down a hallway and spotting the giant panda engaging in simulated sex acts with Clinton.

"How was that not some form of sexual harassment?" a former FreedomWorks official told the magazine. "And there were going to be thousands of Christian conservatives at this thing. This was a terrible lack of judgment."

MotherJones? LOL The fact this is a story- yet some here believe it shows what a sad state this world is in.

This is as equal to "World Net Daily just exposed a story where SEIU made a film of Romney having sex with Big Bird."

As soon as you see "MotherJones" or WND- you know it's time to tell the hippies to put the bong down.

@drpeeper You're endorsing this behavior. Speaks volumes about the character of the Tea. Party. With members of the party visible in the video you must agree the silence of denial of the truth ofthe story is deafening

@Leftofliberal Interesting - usually intelligent folks don't believe anything until they get the whole story. Considering the source as well (Mother Jones & David Corn). PS...that's a Hillary Clinton mask?

I do appreciate the defense (from the left) of a female when attacked like that. Much like the left defended Sarah Palin..........wait.

thou dost protest too much.

After the lies spewed out by the Tea Bag Senator Cruz of Tx regarding Nagel being paid by Iran one can only conclude there is no level too low for the Tea Party scum .
Cruz never served in the military

They drove legislatures to inhibit minority voting Result higher than anticipated turn out.
They backed insane candidates, witches, rape obsesse evangelical zealots and cost seat in house & senate
They offended Hispanic's, Oriental's and women.
Now destroying the GOP from within.
Keep up the good work, screw up Medicare and even the angry old white guys will leave the GOP

So some at Freedomworks made it and others at Freedomworks objected (which was why it was not shown), but the posters are lumping them all together.

Just about as bad as the dumb girl that posted the video claiming that voting for Obama is just as if you're having sex with him. It's not good business on either side to be childish, actually, more-so moronic.

The tea party is like a parasite. All they do is provoke stupidity and provocations. You wonder why even conservatives are trying to distance themselves from the Tea party. And rightly so.

Nothing the Tea party is doing is helpful. Republican contribute more and thats saying something.

The issue here is not whether it was released or not, or if some freedom works people objected. The issue here is that the Tea Party claims the moral high ground and then does something like this with a high ranking official involved. Regardless of which party does something like this if you have morality at all the person in charge should be fired. And you want to bet how long it will be before one of those interns sues for sexual harassment claiming she was coerced into it?

As far as I can tell you are the only right leaning poster on Politix that has condemned this disgusting video. I congratulate you on that. I will also take this opportunity to point out the moral SUPERIORITY of those of us on the left who do condemn this kind of garbage when it comes from the left. I condemned Bill Maher when he called Sarah Palin a name I won't repeat. The video is as disgusting as are the people who support it.

FreedomWorks is not THE Tea Party. The Tea Party is completely decentralized. A VP (not the president) of one of the groups made poor judgment and the organization shot him down, and this is supposed to be damaging to the movement as a whole?

Why is this even posted but the story I sent y'all about Columbia professor and CNN contributor Lamont Hill saying watching Dorner was like watching Django Unchained and "it was exciting"? This is what I mean by the liberal media. They had rather post nonsense like this instead of a professor glorifying a black killer.
