Gore Vidal: On TheREALnews Pt. 1

[ZwolfZki]

What? Bush rigged the elections?

[jw870206]

Try the entirety of Bush's Administrations for war crimes and crimes against The Constitution of The United States of America. Find them guilty (regardless, just as long as there's a trial and enough of an argument about whether they're guilty or not), and sentence them to death. Bush to hang. Chaney to fry in the chair. Rummy to be fired upon. Rove to be gassed. Also make the executions a public affair. Charge admission and put it on Pay-Per-View. Use the proceeds to pay off the deficit.

Just under 11,000 views in 3 1/2 years. That's an average of about 10 views per day. Pretty sad.

Angelina Jolie for president

[NathanPBridle]

None what so ever. As he would say himself.

[kristinchik500]

Gore Vidal rocks!

And we are screwed, because most people in America care more about Angelina Jolie...

7,000 viewers down, another 300 million to go

Gore Vidal, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein--I used to think their efforts to spread the truth were in vain, but after reading "Shock Doctrine" I realize the "Friedmaniacs" that have caused such pain for the majority for the last thirty years are finally on the run. A It's scary that it took thirty years of failure and bloodshed for people to finally catch on, but perhaps it's not surprising, given the support given these insane viewpoints by the corporate press.

[rsaswest]

One can only hope you're right. I wish I had your optimism, but when I see the vehement refusal to admit Freidman was wrong, as evidenced by some of the pompous pseudo-intellectuals here on youtube, I fear the "Freidmaniacs" are still around. The Cato Institute is crawling with "Freidmaniacs."

Yes Vidal, Chomsky, and Klein elevate our thinking and enrich our culture!

[MasterMark123]

Vidal is such a pleasure to listen to. He's simply brilliant.

[Nightbird]

Gore Vidal: Proof that a gay man can be dignified, elegant, intelligent and one of the finest minds on the planet. He is the finest example of a gay gentleman that there is, and we are ever so proud of our resident genius. Long Live Vidal!

[jnnx]

Does his sexual orientation really have anything to do with his words or how well he speaks?

[trollfinger]

I don't believe so, there are most certainly gay people who would annoy you, the same as a straight person.

[monakw]

@Nightbird Mr.Vidals sexual orientation does not even factor into ANY equation. I never realized that we EVER needed PROOF that a gay man or woman for that matter may or may not fall into a DIGNIFIED catagory.YOU are stuck in some mucky muck.You must catagorize and label.I WILL ASSUME THAT YOU LOVE post-it notes.PUT ONE ON YOUR FOREHEAD ...label it...LABELER.'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'

[Slaverevolt]

Must be on sensory overload in the US, news like this just get passed over. The population is in a religious common consensus trance.

Non religious 16%

mystics 84%

End the religious ignorance through education - Facts versus fiction

[tubetrekker30]

World citizens, I'm an America and most of us are horrified by this last 7 years. They stole our elections and their monied TV polluted the mind of the other comfortable and lazy half of America. European Union, prepare to take over as the leaders of the world, as we sink fast.

[TheGoodnessIsGood]

Thanks and everyone else who has a brain is on YOUR side, we want America to be what it was purported to be, and are sad to find the truth is so far from what we were all sold. Anyway, we're all brothers in this world, and it belongs to us all, and the concepts of freedom truly are inalienable and assumed. So screw the NWO and the illuminati, they are finished. they are no match for the inflow of Consciousness of the Infinite universe

[tubetrekker30]

Thanks, "Goodness". I agree with you. I have a hard time believing in the Illumanti, etc., though. I almost think those stories are propaganda by the bad guys to keep us from working together for global insitutions, like an empowered, very transparent and democratic United Nations (changes must be made to it, obviously, but I believe it's our best hope to start unifying the world. Happy New Year!

[HelmerandRawlins]

Did the USA land on the moon, Gore? Somebody please schiavo this fruit.

Gore Vidal is a well regarded muckracker. This video isn't cut very well though.

[sadamp1]

Americans listen! The world believed in America, now you are the bad guys. I am a European living in S Africa. Pre Bush, the world supported USA, we are not with you anymore. We are also scared of your motives and directions. The world may turn on you, stand up to you collectively, remove your powers unless you be more resposible. Can you imagine Europe, CHINA, Japan, Middle East, Russia and South America all forming AN ALLIANCE to stop you in your tracks!~ How would America stand after that?

[jarrodm2002]

sadamp1- america sadly would do what america does best. we would threaten the world with war, absurd as it seems its very plausible. IF america is cornered by all the countries you mention it will react. sadly the cold war has made america into a military superpower, and even if america cannot fight the alliance you purpose, america can certainly nuke the hell out of it. sadly enough, its still as Dr. Strangelove predicted

[09858762]

No, you're nuts. You are yet another victim of American propaganda. You say you're not, but that just exemplifies the severity of America's brainwashed state. QUESTION AUTHORITY!

[asabry24]

Gore Vidal has been characterized as one of the most prominent historians of our time...i think we should start listening to what him and others like chomsky, zinn have to say about what is happening in and to our country
