A Tribute to Paul Wellstone

[1yearyounger]

Dick Durbin is too false to be like Wellstone, and the only one that can be associated with Wellstone is Bernie Sanders.

[MsZeitgeist85]

If he was with us today he would be leading Occupy Wall St.

[LetterToVoltaire]

still makes me wheep....stand up!!!!!

[davebenjoya]

miss him so much.

[chr5210]

It is no good for Paul Wellstone to get mad and yelling in his speech because he'll get high blood pressure and it's bad for his health.

[TheLeftyGrove]

Fast forward nine years. Minnesota is now electing people like Michele Bachmann. WTF happened to Minnesota?

[americamufcfan7]

This guy is my hero, what are government needs, a person who stands up for the people and for the right, not just another corrupted leader.

[jeffreydebra1]

Paul would have been a great president, a very positive force and a great human being!

[vikingscool]

<3 to Paul Wellstone. He was good guy for MN! I missed him too much.

[gomudhen]

"DON'T GIVE UP!"

[MsZeitgeist85]

Americas Finest Senator

[b2tama]

There are like 2 people in Washington right now that actually are looking out for the poor or working classes in America. Paul was one of these people. A giant in his own right. We lost a champion and an important voice within the Democratic for the poor.

[XblisterXexistX]

lol it was all set up by the government!

[s8peed]

SOME WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE GOOD

[GCar35]

I MISS HIM!! He is my political hero!

[iamprov]

What a loss. Paul was a hero.

[HateRepublicans]

the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, heath Insurance industry and big banks sure won over the last 10 years since he probably gave that speech at the end, makes you wonder if they wanted someone like him out of the way

[HateRepublicans]

Paul Wellstone what America was about, now it has turned into a shithole in the last 9 years since Bush

[fuklibs]

What was the last thing to go thru his mind when they hit? His arsehole!!

[galletta6121]

What a bunch of phony's

Just listen to the phony voices of sympathy. They could care less about the death of Paul wellstone. The Democratic party has really become a disppointment.

These arent politicians; they are 1960s Commie loving radicals in suits. BIGMOUTHS! JFK is probably rolling over in his resting place watching what has become of his party. We went from a real president who inspired Americans to travel to the moon to this half a commie Obama. "DEVIENCE DOWN"

[foxh8er]

@galletta6121 Paul Wellstone was more of a quote "socialist" than Barack Obama.

Or 80 senators.

[BellaLuchia]

Wow what an amazing man! He makes you want to get up & get involved. I need to do more. Thank you Senator Wellstone for inspiring me :)

[genYprogressive]

The only one around today as good as Paul is Bernie Sanders.

[auggie08relpol]

Finding this video made my year. I hope you keep it on as long as you can. Thanks so much.

[JoeMulk]

Paul Wellstone was a liberal icon, all those pussy ass sellout Dems have no buisness praising him especially with this current shitty healh care bill on its way through the senate.

[dawnofdarken]

Rip Senator Wellstone, you will be missed!

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

Yeah harry reid you should not just give platitudes about wellstone. you should actually try to copy him and not be such a fucking blue dog

[izitso87]

Minnesota misses you, Paul. Your ideas live on.

[WC3POchannel10A]

America misses you. I always hoped for a President Wellstone.

[hghway61]

Progressives around the world miss Paul too!

[apeshitdig]

50 / 50  Died / Murdered?

[dimitraeus202]

The more I've looked into this, the more it seems that those who oppose oppressive powers in this world tend to die young. It's very very strange

[crypter27]

He was assasinanted plain & simple!

[hghway61]

I can still watch this and almost hold back the lump in my throat. No matter what happened that day, we, who have been inspired by Paul can certainly know he would be proud of the inspiration and ambition he left us with. We could sure use Wellstone these days.

[freelywheely]

A True American Hero, murdered by Cheney

[EZR09]

Paul's wife Sheila, his daughter Marcia, and five other people also died in the crash.

[gillies24]

Wow he remind me of Huey Long waving his hands etc..very very passionate man may he rip

[goodboy6666]

wow hes a great man

[cwellmath1]

Honestly. Why leave ignorant remarks. Wellstone & his family were great people. Have some respect.

[mikemoair]

am i suppossed to feel guilty about 14 million children in poverty? why, they are not mine!!! why didnt the parents abort them? abortion is the most beautiful thing to liberals? right? I love abortion toasted on french bread with swiss cheese mmmmmm thats tasty

[priceman420]

Are you retarded?

[mikemoair]

why must this jackoff yell, he should fight for better pa's ha ha he's dead

[twinsrule8907]

Paul Wellstone was murdered by Cheney, who threatened to cut money to Minnesota if Wellstone voted against the Iraq Resolution. Then he murdered Wellstone after he stood up to him. This is not just a conspiracy theory; it has solid evidence. Show some respect.

[Maestrohbill]

What solid evidence? Were you at the meeting where this happened?

[mikemoair]

i was reminded of this asshole this morning when a flushed a turd,

[mikemoair]

oh the asshole was a senator sorry wellstonies and other jack offs

[mikemoair]

biggest threat to family farms is the government taxes that have to be paid when it gets passed on, what a dumb fuck. I see he must have retired from teaching so there is on pay check, and working on double dipping as a congressman, another pension there, think of the money he saving you by dieing. we will win we will win, assholes all

[priceman420]

Are you retarded? Conglomerates. Please look that up after you get your head out of your ass. The family farmer gets screwed by agribusinesses like Monsanto who get tax subsidies by this Republican government and the ignorant corporate worshiping ilk like yourself. You are an ignorant POS who is ignorant of history and of SENATOR Paul Wellstone.

[mikemoair]

he should have faught for better pilot training, my impression he was one dick jackass glad he is gone, we will win we will win we will win what assholes

[izitso87]

cs579, I agree, way too convenient for bush, and right after paul voted against the iraq war

[cs579]

the circumstances surrounding his death are very shadowy...how does the most liberal, progressive Senator (who was gaining popularity quickly) die in a plane crash, during ELECTION season? too many bizarre coincidences...there NEEDS to be a new investigation!!!

[sidewalkpilot]

RIP Paul.. we all love you

[priceman420]

Thank you. I hate all the youtard ignorant twelve year olds(mentally) who feel inadequate because their daddy is an ignorant POS who is ignorant of history and the importance of the labor movement. Yeah, I'm talking to all the ignorant commentators here. Too bad their mothers didn't know how to raise a child with etiquette and respect for the dead regardless of whether they agree with Paul Wellstone. The disrespect here is sickening. Paul Wellstone was a true progressive and champion of labor.

[bluesborn]

Sieg Heil? Get your history correct you fool.The Nazi's were a far rightwing disease what ever you've heard from nitwits like Goldberg.The National Socialist Party is a ruse and complete misnomer designed to appeal to a people utterly financially devastated and humiliated by the after effects of WWI who were leaning Left in large numbers.Hitler(who hated Socialism,Blacks,Gays,Jews,Gyp­sies,modern Art etc.)exploited this situation by clever use of brand name that "covered all the bases".

Now STFU.

[toosinbeymen]

Senator Paul Wellstone is a role model for all of us. If we had leaders like that, we wouldn't be in the hole we're in after 8 years of bus/cheney.

[WCD73]

While I'm a republican, I do extend my condolonces to Sen.Wellstone's family and friends!!!

[DUKETYPE]

"While I'm a republican"? Tasteless. Typical.

[bluesborn]

I disagree and I'm as Liberal as it gets.Give this person credit where credit is due.Anyway I think had Paul lived we would have seen a very different Democratic party than the sad whipped specimens of the last 5 years.He would have shamed a few key people into making the RIGHT choices.

[Bellafaith1475]

Worked on his campaign and he remains to this day one of the people I greatly admire next to those in my family. He death still is so depressing, there simply will not be another like him. God Bless!

[bo31411]

Damn this guy was bad ass. He was so dangerous to the status quo.

[Demolix]

Speechless. His words will always live on as an exemplary example of what "a man of and for the people" sounds like.

[zoooey1]

so sad hez no more :(

[shteeblin]

This video is stellar, thank you so much.

God bless Paul Wellstone.

[theycallmebutters]

A great American that will be remembered through time. Bless you Paul.

[izitso87]

of all the senators to die prematurely, why this one?

[morebeauty]

What a civil servant should be.

Give 'em hell Paul!!

[zaunbie]

God bless Paul Wellstone.

[zaunbie]

God bless Paul Wellstone.

[MovementInC]

Thanks for This!..Tribute..i did one last Year...but didn't have the clips you have!..Excellent I met Him!..He Was A Great Human and Senator..

[delinquentdan]

Bless him.

[InfidelOnTheGo]

I did not agree with anything he said, but dammit I respect that man. He actually stood for something.

[cyber1zen]

A real leader and a GREAT American! Bless Paul and Sheila Wellstone's souls.

[cuseballers]

A True Hero

[robertraidersmarines]

A truly great American. God rest his soul.

[jwitker]

No, his spirit does not live on in ALL democrats. If it did, we'd have a very different country today, and we wouldn't still be embroiled in a bullshit war.

[romeono1]

I do not know this guy, but have watched the video. May he rest in peace. Fuck Bush! Fuck the Neo Cons. We have to vote for ROn Paul to get these criminals out!!

[patsagainstrats]

What happened to the guy, did the Clinton's kill him off?

[ericcalderon2]

He and his entire family where killed in a very mysterious place crash likely to have been an assassination.

His death just so happened to shift control of the Senate to Republican majority.

Google "The Senator Wellstone Assassination" for a good video on the subject.

[55sally]

Goodness...Let this video inspire us!

Share it...keep it bookmarked...

Let's keep this Wellstone SPIRIT Growing!

[pdmr64]

What a terrible loss that was, but you can continue his work by contributing to and participating in Camp Wellstone.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Minnesota misses you Paul.

Rest well.  We're not done fighting.

-Qes

[SMUTF2010]

We lost a great man that day, but his spirit lives on in all Democrats!

[ericcalderon2]

Really?

I have been eagerly waiting to see demonstration of that spirit for some time now but it seems somewhat elusive in face of our current fascist dictatorship.

But in all fairness, I guess they fear for the lives of themselves and their family's as well. I just thought that when they where elected they chose to assume that risk rather than enjoy the feel of a tail between the legs.
