Bob Barr on The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly 06/26/08

[guyinkentucky1]

I have been saying i wanted a flat tax since Steve Forbes ran in 96



[SuperManFilms]

Don't believe in policing the world, yet he would step in to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? Where does that authority exist in the Constitution?

[stater68]

@SuperManFilms Article 1, seciton 8, "to provide for the common defense". Unapologetic pacifism is not advocated by the founding fathers.

[montuzumasviper]

I love the libertarian party and its ideological fundamentals.. unfortunately Bob Barr is a weak front runner (not that it matter) but I wish he could vocalize his parties position more convincingly.

[Geschmolzen]

When being interviewed by O'Rielly, just awnser the question.

[niggtardd]

A O'Reilly interview is more like a series of bs interruptions. He'd rather hear himself talk than listen to his interviewee answer his question.

[tylerleebash]

You've got that right, tardd... good old thug journalism.

[niggtardd]

Yeah really right? Cutting the executive office by 10% is a symbolic gesture...um no?

Riley doesn't ask questions he just imposes his liberal horseshit and changes the subject when he runs out of credibility. Apparently that is fairly often.

[texanpilot23]

Hes no ron paul.... but he does stand for the same issues and values. He needs all ron paul supporters support we need the LP to get 5% so next election we could get campaign financing

[TimeWarp66]

Bob Barr is no Ron Paul.

[itzahazylife]

how about abolishing the federal income tax?!

it's not even a law, it's not even in the constitution...it's an illegal fucking tax man...unbelievable this guy calls himself a man of the constitution...i think Barr needs some lessons from Ron Paul

[VinceWylde]

When are you Ron Paul people going to accept the fact that he's NOT RUNNING? Man... This kind of crap will never change our country...

[itzahazylife]

talking about his great ideas and spreading what i know about ron paul is not gonna change our country?...i think he has genius ideas and thinks ahead of his time...my comments are on his ideas...how isn't spreading his ideals not helping the cause?

[houliebeforethefall]

hahaha, whats gonna change our country? voting for someone who isnt going to change anything? Ron Paul supporters are supporters because we agree (strongly) with his value's for the most part. Because he isnt running I need to decide whether I want to vote Nadder or Barr as those people represent my values. do you relize that democracy doesnt work if you dont vote for your value's.???

[VinceWylde]

How about just uniting under a single cause rather than dividing the party? Ron Paul wasn't running, Bob Barr was. And Barr was a DAMN SITE better than McCain and especially Obama.

[Eyedunno]

Ugh. O'Reilly was nicer than usual, but sheesh!

Barr is not a libertarian. Flat tax? Consumption tax? Economic "options" against Iran? This is all such an embarrassment. I don't feel bad about working for the Harry Browne campaign in 2000, but Barr? Fuhgeddaboutit.

[tnichols321]

lol a flat tax!

[ihateneocons]

thats the problem! israel should be responsible for defending itself and shouldnt take orders from the US or the EU...if iran obtains a nuke and threatens to use it, they should have the right to take it out. if we wouldnt let israel defend herself, why the fuck would the US get involved? it makes NO SENSE. i would NEVER go to war or send my children to die for israel when israel has hundreds of nukes and a perfectly capable military. its nonsense. let israel take care of israel, the US - US!

[richardrichard07]

"Many very constructive ways that one can do so short of military action". Yes Bob and both the EU and the US have exhausted them all and Iran is still continuing with their nuclear program. What a douchebag.

McCain 08.

[ihateneocons]

our government disagrees with you. NIE says since 2003 there is no effort to build a nuclear weapon. IRAN IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A NUCLEAR PROGRAM FOR CIVILIAN PURPOSES UNDER THE NPT WHICH THE US HAS IGNORED!! im an american and proud of it but this nonsense has to end. if israel feels so threatened, let israel take them out. iran could never directly threaten america with the shahab-3.

[richardrichard07]

She could threaten important US allies in the middle east and Europe with the Shahab. Israel cannot take out Irans nuclear facilities because the EU, UN and US will not let her.

McCain 08.

[tnichols321]

If Iran even developed Nuclear technology, they dont have a delivery system to nuke anybody

[richardrichard07]

Yes they do, Irans shahaba missiles are capable of reaching western europe. If they put a nuclear war head on it, then God help us.

McCain 08.

[tnichols321]

you cant just "put a nuclear war head on it" it requires even more research. Why do you think North Korea failed when they tried to test one? Because it aint as easy as it looks. Iran can not reach western europe. They have "glorified scuds"

[TimeWarp66]

Suitcase bomb, silly : )

[spawk1993]

so what, we dont need world police , let them have nukes, we have no right to stop them, its immoral and stupid.

[petergabrielfan34]

Flat Tax! \m/

I love that idea! I would set a 15% Flat Tax though, but hey, 17% sounds excellent!

[jeridfruge]

The guy really doesn't care if he's libertarian or republican. He has said he is not concerned with partisanship over principle. Why should one limit their believes because of some useless label? All this bickering over parties is so much nonsense.

[mightyturisas]

Bob Barr's voting record is absolutely not Libertarian. He can be compared to Reagan making all those great libertarian speeches yet being a failure.

The libertarian party hasn't changed, it's just changing it's policies to start hacking away the top of the pyramid, then going down. So I think barr is a good start. I voted for Mary Ruwart, but I do believe Barr will be suitable.

[terinbune]

He's also said on multiple occasions that he's made mistakes, hence why he left the Republican party. People learn from their mistakes. Bottom line is he's for smaller government and against the war. He's looking towards abolishing the income tax in favor of a consumption tax, which would make the USA a tax haven for business worldwide, which would create jobs and opportunities for America. No other candidate is even talking about these issues, they're too busy talking about race.

[sakonhagakure]

Sad thing is only candidate that ever talked about anything remotely close to a consumption tax was mike huckabee.

[ITwarriorTI]

someone actually got it...

[nuwbee]

Can we take a moment to remember just exactly who has used an atomic/nuclear bomb in the past. The only country to drop a nuclear bomb and annihilate hundreds of thousands of people has been the USA. I guess that's why we should be so afraid of Iran ????? Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. So, who should I be afraid of ?????

[hayesy316]

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki probably ended up saving millions of Allied and Japanese lives which would have eventuated as a result of a direct invasion of the Japanese mainland.

[mrsircaptainahab]

So true.

[nuwbee]

That is one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard - Dropping 2 atomic bombs actually saved lives. Proof that the US war and fear mongers will find justification for any of their actions, right or wrong.

[hayesy316]

Standard Leftist emotional response, without any reference to rational argument or historical fact. Next.

[ls1z28chris]

Enjoying that government school programming, hayesy316?

[sakonhagakure]

Yes because a direct invasion of the Japanese mainland when 75% casualties rate was predicted and would've prolonged the conflict would've been so much smarter.

[STLConservative]

@nuwbee The Nuking of Japan saved lives. Any Nuclear action by Iran will take them.

[frionelhero]

@STLConservative We nuked Japan after it was clear we would win the war. And even if you could argue that Hiroshima was warranted, Nagasaki certainly wasn't. Truman was a war criminal and a mass murderer of millions of innocent civilians.

[STLConservative]

@frionelhero and after we knew that had we not nuked them into sumbission we would lose a million american lives and millions more japanese lives.

[flach77]

O'Reilly and Barr two fascists. Hey Bob love that patriot act wanna take some more of my liberties

[omnifiedemu]

This is guy is not a libertarian. The libertarian party has officially been jacked. He all but said he would invade Iran if they were close to finishing a nuke and talks didn't work. So he sides with the neocon view to police the world. Furthermore, these economic options he is talking about, are either placing sanctions on a country, for them disagreeing with you another neocon(non libertarian)point of view or giving Iran, U.S. citizens money.The government sure finds fun ways to use our money

[3rdWorldCrusader]

Yeah. I just don't get why assholes like Bob Barr and Mike Gravel think they're libertarians.

[boringlyawesum]

bush liked coke like i do!

[ccashel]

A very fine interview, on Barr's part especially

[THriCEB]

True Libertarians Are True American Patriots

[THriCEB]

Barr/Root2008 Lets take it to the whitehouse

[filmdude42]

Barr '08

[THriCEB]

Barr '08

[harrells1]

It's hard to get excited about him like it is with Ron Paul, although he's a much better alternative than McCain/Obama.

[gadsden74]

Think of it this way: Where Paul needed an hour to explain his position, Barr take a few minutes. In other words, sound-byte media that so many rely on favours Barr over Paul. I supported and still support Paul, but I'll be voting for Barr in November. There's only one Ron Paul. Barr, I think, is a step in the right direction.

[RedShirtArmy]

I feel the exact same way. He's the best still out there but he pales in comparison to Dr Paul.

[THriCEB]

very true

[bbburton]

Fuck O'Rieley and Fuck Barr. O'Rieley is a media pimp-whore, and Barr is a spineless politician. When Barr had the chance to do the right thing when he was in Congress he screwed the dog and sold the puppies. Don't be taken in by these jerks. Ron Paul is the real deal and don't forget it.

[THriCEB]

Yeah but your an idiot.....

[bbburton]

And your so smart?! If you took that penis out of your mouth you might have something intelligent to say, but I doubt it.

[THriCEB]

Look boy!!! don't tell yo momma to get my cock out her mouth. go back to what you started. you dumb fuck

[bbburton]

Still got your daddy's penis in your mouth, huh? You've got nothing, and you know it. It's obvious you fell out of your mother's ass when you were born, uh hatched, and suffered serious brain, uh head trauma. There is no help for you. Go play in the dirt, you sad piece of shit.

[THriCEB]

Oh thats funny my dad is dead.

Hay you go play in the dirt with yourself faggot bitch cunt but dont leave your boyfreinds out. but if you would please excuss me im not finneished with your mommas pussy like i told you, dont be rude little boy. go back to your queer tea party. cocksucker aren't you getting bord yet.

whos mentally challenged again? ohh yeahh you will be after i kick your ass stfu

[THriCEB]

You fruit packing cock loving son of a bitch

shut up. idiot

[bbburton]

Still sucking dead meat, I see. Perhaps you should try something more fresh. Try bending over and sticking your head up your ass and suck real hard. You just might be able to inhale your own penis. If you run into trouble try getting your uncle to help you. I'm sure you've given him quite the pull, hey? Apparently you're simply too stupid to get the message. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, you pathetic imbecile.

[THriCEB]

Damn moron i disbeleave in incest what the fuck is wrong with you!?!!? you otta go play with yourself, dont stop there fuck yourself, enjoy yourself

asshole

You dont make any mother fucking scenes.

maybe you shold talk a little more cleary

take your ass back to the junk yark or where ever it is you live. shithead hay & tell your sister i'll be back at her place soon!

[bbburton]

Still have that dead penis in your mouth, huh? I bet it's getting real juicy by now. Must remind you of the time you shit your diaper and stuck your pacifier in it and licked it off. Maybe that old dead penis reminds you of your shit licking days. Or maybe it reminds you of your uncle's penis after he pulled it out of your ass and stuck it in your mouth. Which do you like best, daddy's dead dick or uncle's shitty prick? You doing little boys, or are they doing you? Carry on the family tradition.

[Cooman456]

Thanks for uploading this, I've been trying to look for it

[eesloan4]

well he isn't a ron paul for sure

closest you can get this election is chuck baldwin....google him...he is candidate under the constitution party

[thinkrevolution]

God help us 2008!

[matrixm777]

The question is why was O'Reilly so nice to him? red flag, red flag, red flag.

To bad they didn't show the same treatment to Ron Paul.

Chuck Baldwin is free America's only choice.

Freedom!!!

[jesuslover037]

He's no Ron Paul; he doesn't sound like he has a clear idea of what he's going to do when he gets in office.

[frionelhero]

o'reilly spoke for more then half of the interview and the interview is a little over 6 minutes long, so cut Barr some slack and go look or listen to some of his other stuff.

[jesuslover037]

K, I will. He did talk alot lol.

[Hossi]

Wow was O'Reilly actually being... nice?!?!?

O_o!

[frionelhero]

I would say that O'Reilly just wasn't being mean. Probebly because Bob Barr has less of a chance of being president then Ron Paul did of being the nominee of the Republican party.

[BrianRabil]

This is how he is usually believe it or not. I'm a daily watcher/listener/reader and I can assure you, he isn't the D-bag Keith Olbermann or youtube clips have portrayed him to be. He's not even really a "conservative", he's very moderate.

[silus2000]

The last question is VERY revealing. How on earth did this guy get the Libertarian party nomination?? How have Republicans so quickly infiltrated the Libertarians??

[RationalLiberty]

I agree. This is indeed revealing. What other "allies" is Barr so concerned about? It sounds like hes obama at AIPAC!

Apparently Wayne Allen Root the VP is like a neocon on foreign policy-dont know it for sure though. So the Libertarian option looks very unappealing for me now.

Im liking Nader more and more-he says the right stuff and has the right policies-but ill just have to wait and see.

I like Libertarian ideals but Barr seems to be a pretty rotten choice for maintaining those ideals

[frionelhero]

the interview is about 6 minutes long, it is no where as cohesive as many of the other things you can find on Bob Barr. He has to talk the tough game to appeal to regular voters, but many times he has made his position on non-intervention quite clear.
