:: Silence the demagogue and strife will cease ::
Monday, August 02, 2004
James Broadwater appeared on the eighth episode of HBO's Da Ali G Show, originally airing July 25th, in a segment with the character Borat Sagdiyev, a fictitious Kazakhstani television reporter. Broadwater was by all accounts punk'd and served. He has posted a public defense on his web site:
I don't watch HBO, but I definitely got duped by them back before the March Primary. I was lied to and told that a reporter from Kazakhstan wanted to interview people running for office in America, and that these interviews would be played back in his country and maybe in other countries as well, because the people there were interested in the American political system and wished to shape their system after ours. I, as well as others, were excited about being able to share with people in other countries not only about the American political system, but also about Jesus Christ, the Lord of everything and the Savior of the World. What has happened instead is that my interview has been used to make Christians look bad and to make me look like a person who hates Jews. But then, what else can you expect from people who are so anti-Christian and anti-God?
The segment also featured Broadwater canvassing houses while accompanied by Borat, who claimed the candidate was a strong man and would "crush his enemies". Interestingly, Broadwater makes no direct effort here to dispel that assertion (in the episode he balked at Borat's tributes only after being compared to Stalin).
