That is a quote from someone in the video.

Guy with video camera goes out to a Teabag Rally, and asks people to
describe what they have against Obama or health care reform. One lady
was debating with herself, in range of the microphone, whether Obama was
a Marxist, Socialist, or Communist. She settles on Marxist, because he
doesn't match all the points of the other two. When asked what those
points were, or what makes a Marxist, she wanders off to find someone to
tell her.
The rest is even stranger, as people with printouts try to poke holes in
"The Health Care Bill". They quote section, paragraph, and line numbers
of one of the many versions of the bill, but manage to cut short most of
what the line says. The shining example was "This tax is not a tax..."
which sounds outrageous, but the line reads more like "This tax is not a
tax for the purposes of determining, via total taxes paid, how much
something costs."
Debate would be lovely, but the video isn't debate. It is funny though.
