Bob Barr on John McCain's Iraq Strategy

[24klc67]

The more I see, the more I am convinced that Bob Barr is THE most logical choice for the office of President of the United States. Unlike Obama and McCain, Bob Barr actually has some REAL SOLUTIONS for this country. I am not able to contribute much to your campaign Mr. Barr, but as soon as I get done with this post, I am going to write a letter to the editor of my local newspaper and try to drum up a little more support for you. The American people needs to know that they do have a choice.

[DoomHippie]

Exactly! A candidate willing to take an actual STANCE on the issues instead of ignoring them!

Bob Barr '08!

[2connection]

Barr is a Brilliant man , theres no question about it ! He would dominate Obama and Mccain in a debate

I WANT BOB BARR IN THOSE DEBATES, THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO AND I DESERVE AS ALL AMERICANS DO TO HEAR THIS MANS MSSG HEAD TO HEAD AGAINST THE 2 PARTIES

people dont just sit there, you gotta yell and scream , who the hell is anyone to tell you that

"no WE will not allow you any choice in debates, you will get on your knees and accept what we give you, we own your minds "

FIGHT

[politicalfarce]

True conservatives should vote for Bob Barr. McCain is a liar, and his policy of open ended invasion of foreign countries is the polar opposite of the true conservative platform of limited governament.

[becolt]

Yes, and at the time, I would've too.

[ls1z28chris]

Positions change, especially in the light of the things that have occurred over the course of the Bush administration.

[ConcernedCitizenOne]

Bob Barr is an American. Please watch the video and comment on it. He makes many valid points and is the best hope we have. Real change embraces existing liberty for Americans not new force and fewer rights for Americans. Obama wants to control you and McCain does too just in a different way. Who is paying for you as an American citizen to be controlled indefinitely by your government?

[sporevideos]

Throwing around the word Nazi only demeans your argument.

[becolt]

AAAAAND one more thing: This could actually be a good sign. People (read: liberals) getting outraged about Bob Barr's candidacy is showing us they he can possibly be a force to be reckoned with. If he wasn't, they wouldn't be taking notice at all. Of course they might just live in the 57th state

[truthout911]

READ NAZI, BARR's voting record. A force to recogned with, YEAH RIGHT! Only if you consider NAZIS a force.

[becolt]

& frankly, I don't see any connection there. Of course there isn't really any reason for me to say that to a group of people who actually think about things rather than spew out hateful trash for no apparent reason. These are the reasons for places like votesmart*org

I can't find a reason to be scared of Barr: the policies he wants just plain make sense, especially about giving power back to the people to decide about issues like abortion on their own. Barr is an 80's Rep. The 00's have left US.

[becolt]

These T.O. people need to be left alone. Let them believe they are doing something to further their cause. All they're doing is outing themselves for what's really inside them. Yeah, it may not be rational, but nothing we say can change their opinions. That's OK, nothing they say can change ours. By even bothering to interact, we merely stress each other out. Only history will show which side was right anyway.

By the way, I'm a Jew. I really don't appreciate this being related to the holocaust.

[llordgregory]

I've had enough of the failed occupation of Iraq, and we certainly need to leave as soon as possible and not start another failed invasion of Iran.

Vote for Bob Barr!

truthout911, watch this.

[truthout911]

I dont watch NAZI propoganda. Because someone tells you at election time that they have changed doesnt mean that have. You Libertarian NAZIS are too forgiving of Republicans who turn libertarian despite theyre deplorable records. Voting for homeland security and the patriot act, voting to put religion in your face and telling woman what to do with their bodies. No Take you video and and shove, freedommanNAZI!

[freedomman121]

Well truthout, do whatever you like. Why not go play on the freeway? You don't really know enough of anything factual to have an intelligent exchange.

[truthout911]

Everything I said in here is true, the fact that you cant handle it, because you are a brainless Paultard who is now a Barr NAZI is your problem. Gargle with broken glass.

[freedomman121]

"Everything I said in here is true"

No it's not. You only believe it's true because you want to.

If you can find someone better than Ron Paul, please point him out to us.

[truthout911]

Nothing you have said is true, all you have done is repeat a bunch of sick twisted Ron Paul NAZI garbage. Because you are a sick twisted PAULFREAK. and PAULTARD and probably a NAZI as well. Now beat it.

[frionelhero]

Is being this negative any way to try and prove your point?

[truthout911]

You start off by thinking Obama is a liberal, LOLOLOLO, then you support a lying two faced nazi like Paul, despite all of his hypocrisy. Now your telling us that a superNAZI like Barr who voted to take away civil liberties and champaigned those votes into pussygate is your answer to the country's problems??? Do us all a favor and stay home. You are an immature brat, who wouldnt know the truth if it jumped up and bit him in the ASS!

[becolt]

Dude, do you have one single point that has any information behind it or is your sole purpose merely to really piss people off? All these "nazi" comments are doing as far as I'm concerned is solidifying my position: if someone with your attitude, level of immaturity, and basic tactlessness is against Bob Barr, then who do you think I, and every other voter that sees your comments, is going to vote for?

Yup. So really, why are you even here? Find your candidate and support him. We dont need you.

[freedomman121]

Hey truthout ding dong, why not concern yourself with the real fscism that's happening right now? /watch?v=ZqMzVt4R77E

[truthout911]

Ive told you that I dont watch NAZI propoganda from you, Barr or Paul. You are a NAZI supporter and a paid Barr schill.

[freedomman121]

Truthout, you are quite possibly the stupidest person on the internet, or a paid dis-info shill. Sad either way.

[becolt]

Ok, I've allowed this idiot to really get me fucking angry. I, THE JEW!, am a nazi.

Is belief phony? Heart?

Ah the GOP... screw them. They are at least as bad as the Supposed option.

I just happened to notice upon rereading your comment that you've single handedly proved every point I've written to date. Thank you!

I must apologize to everyone else for responding to this guy and most likely continuing his time here.

Again everyone, I am truly sorry.

[freedomman121]

Yeah Truthout really has "Nazi" on the brain. He needs to learn a new word.

[truthout911]

THe fact that you choose to support a NAZI and cant face facts is your problem. Just because your Jewish, doesnt mean you cant be a NAZI. When someone like Barr votes for legislation just like the Enabling Act of 1933 in Germany, what do you call that. Some like Barr has voted to send over a million Iraqis and tens of thousands of troops to their deaths, just like Hitler did with the Jews, what do you call that. Face it BARR IS A NAZI!!

[OATMEALCMC]

Fire up z ovens!!!! I have truthout911 to cook!!

[OATMEALCMC]

lol Sweet

[OATMEALCMC]

wow you have to many SS dreams to be anti Nazi truthout911. I bet you have a Hitler poster over your bed to do the knuckle shuffle to. I wonder what Dr. Phil would say? To occupy this much of your time to this. Much of what you have to say sounds like the same as the death camps. So much hate. You reek of it. Very suspicious. Very sad.

[becolt]

I won't "get away with" it? what are you saying? Do you mean I can't speak my mind about your views? Am I on the way to your concentration camp or are you just wishing you could get violent with me? Oh the seething hatred that comes from you makes me want to plant flowers to combat the baseness of your words.

Eh what does any of what the two of us are saying matter anyway? I will proudly cancel out your vote in November.

[freedomman121]

NAZI, NAZI, NAZI, NAZI.

Truthout you silly person, if you want Nazis, why not notice who's in the White House? And BTW, learn a new word for goodness' sake.

[freedomman121]

I didn't vote for Bush you silly simpleton.

Im not interested in your stupid ass video, FreedomNAZI!

[freedomman121]

"Im not interested in your stupid ass video, FreedomNAZI"

You don't seem to be interesting in anything that might increase your knowledge and awareness. It sucks to be you...

[truthout911]

Its good to be me, I believe in the truth, its bad to be a two faced lying nazi like yourself.

[freedomman121]

"I believe in the truth"

You're a daft cad who wouldn't know the truth if it fell on your head.

[DoomHippie]

Ohh, your a Conspiracy theorist. I was wondering why your comments seemed completely stupid.

[Poonard]

this is exactly the opposite of truth.your contorting and confusing people.not just you but your staunch opponent. truth will not come out between those fighting each others opinions.we've been a part of a two party system for so long now i think we lost sight of individualism and the community being one let him have his opinions and you can have yours it's that simple and before you call me a nazi, a hippy, or anything trying to disassemble me know ive disassembled myself quite well before hand

[truthout911]

The truth is already out. Barr is a two faced lying NAZI and you are a dumbass NAZI! Think fast, whats 2+2. can you answer that without consulting with Ron Paul. Barr's voting record is the proof. His GOP PAC contributions in the past year is the proof.

[Poonard]

again, i've already torn myself apart looking for my OWN answers...i will not engage in banter with you, however as one human being to another i must urge you to stop and think about what you're really doing and if it's fine with you and this is part of your creativity and the way you want to represent yourself that is fine. i still want to urge everyone to look inward before consulting anything anyone says, love yourself and your family and remember YOU ARE THE PEOPLE!

[truthout911]

Dont worried about my relationships. I will call a spade a spade. And when someone acts like a NAZI, that is what I will call them, the fact that you cant handle the truth about this guy, is your problem.

[Poonard]

what truth be there about "this guy" I am but a curious passer by who see's a fellow traveler with great passion and concern about his society...or so i thought...it is clear to me now that you must not care what I think as a human rather care to make me think the way you do. either that or extremely paranoid...which is also fine, it's good to be paranoid to a degree..either way, peace find you my friend.

[freedomman121]

"The fact that this NAZI has to read from a piece of paper in the video should tell you that he is not sincere in his so called believes."

That's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read on Youtube comments, and that's saying something! Does that mean that everyone who reads a written speech, or glances at notes while giving a presentation is insincere in their beliefs?

[cruiseliner]

McCain is unelectable. His back bone is his military history, however the men and women fighting in Iraq see John McCain as wrong and Obama as correct!

McCain will take us further into debt than Bush did.

The shellac of Barack has worn thin as the initial hope that the integrity he would bring has gone. Shifting on promises and positions place him back in the just another politician category.

What is your vote worth?

[becolt]

I know plenty of people in the military none of whom like Obama at all. They'd seem to prefer Mccain, but really can we hold high hope for the country with either? It must just be the circles we travel in.

[ManwithAx]

Bob, if you want folks to take you seriously then hire a professional cameraman and sound man to do your videos. The quality of this just doesn't make up look or sound very presidential. Not sure what you were going for here, but the production misfired. You can do better.

[clermontflorida]

yeah, the audio could be better

[scwallac]

Great message. Great candidate. Too bad this video was impaired by an unprofessional videographer who somehow never learned that the light is supposed to be IN FRONT OF the subject.

[dsinghiser]

Not only are his policies more thought out, but he is more qualified than the two Republicrat candidates.

[dsinghiser]

Wow, you got me convinced: your well thought out logic, your reasoned replies. Who should I vote for?

I know I'm going to be sorry for asking, but what policies do the Nazi's and Ron Paul supporters share?

Of course Hitler loved dogs and established some of the first conservation laws in Europe . . .

[truthout911]

For starters dumbass, Ron Paul wrote white supremist garbage called the "Ron Paul Survival report for 17yrs. Every conspiracy theory involving racist garbage as the jews own banking to blacks creating rape towns. He was supported by the Amer Nazi party, Stromfront and the KKK. His pictures have been taken with their leaders. Don Black for one. He excepted monies from these groups. Yes NAZI fits. Go with Nader or Mckinney.

[freedomman121]

Ron Paul has explained that he didn't actually write that stuff, but took responsibility for it since it was written for his news letter.

But the Nazi crap you sling shows that you are the ass.

Do you know who all has donated to all the other candidates? Bet many would make your toenails curl if you had the capacity to understand who they were and why they're donating.

[truthout911]

Ron Paul wrote it, he knows it and you know. And if someone, if you actualy believe that shit, wrote that kind of trash in a newsletter for 17yrs and you just now find out about it. Please, not everyone are as stupid as PAULTARDS are. And if he was that stupid, that is another reason he didnt deserve to be pres. PAULTARDS would jump over a cliff if Paul told them too. PAULTARDS ARE BRAINLESS. Why dont you address the facts instead of mindlessly defending people. The truth hurts.

[truthout911]

Isnt funny how Paultards were so quick to critize Obama and Hilary for their corporate backers and tell folks where their money was coming from, but when someone points out Paul's sources, your backs are up against the wall. Cant have it both ways. If someone is a NAZI, I will call them what they are.

[freedomman121]

The big difference is that McBama and Hillary receive their donations from corporations who expect them to do their bidding.

Ron Paul on the other hand, receives donations from individuals, and is not expected to do anyone's bidding, only continue to follow the constitution as he has always done. Just because Ron Paul received a donation from an individual, it does not mean that he endorses that individual's ideology.

[truthout911]

The fact that you condone Paul taking Nazi money just goes to show how shameless you are. Tell your boy to start showing up for votes, like the FISA bills, that passed, he missed both of them, or HR1955. Yeah right, some defender of the constitution. He is more concerned with a woman's pussy than the forth admendment.

[freedomman121]

truthout911 = garbage

[malickfan]

Bob is the only choice.

[stunt420]

Fuck yeah! I am so voting for this guy.

[RomeoMD25]

mCcAIN HEZ BIG Goverment NeoCon

[OneVisionProductions]

We can't be divided anymore! Vote for Bob Barr..

[Nexus974]

There is a difference?

[bakukenshin]

Both McCain and Obama shift their stances week to week. Barr did used to be a hard-core Republican, but he was brought into the Republican party through Ayn Rand's writings. I can believe that he has realized the hypocrisy of some of his congressional decisions. As it stands, he's the only one who even comes close to stating the REAL problems with America right now.

[truthout911]

A nazi like Barr is not the answer for this country. Mr. I voted for Homeland Security, and the Patriot Act. Mr. Big Govt spending. Justify that Paultard. Justified the thousands of soliders deaths because of Barr's. Millions of Dead Iraqis because of Barr. Barr is for liberating souls from their bodies. NO TO A TWO FACED NAZI LIKE BARR!!

[votefornotagainst]

He has tried to rationalize that... and personally, I believe him when he says he has changed. I mean, let's be honest, McCain and Obama have a hard time being consistent on a week-to-week basis and Barr has been preaching the same consistent libertarian idealogy since leaving the Republicans several years ago. Who are the bigger flip-floppers here, and who is the more believable conversion? It seems Libertarians would be more welcoming to open-mindedness... not everyone is Ron Paul...

[ArinGrak]

When the attack on 9/11 ocured I was for the war and anyone who was not I'd call a traitor. Thats when he voted for the Irak war. A far different situation then what we find ourselves in today.

[filmdude42]

oh come now,

we needn't blame truthout911 for his nonsensical arguments and outlandish repetitions for clearly he is suffering from some severe form of tourettes syndrome.

The symptoms are all obvious, in his inability to get through a single sentence without yelling the word "NAZI".

It's okay, truthout, hopefully you can get better soon, little buddy. :)

[freedomman121]

Yeah he does have the word "Nazi" on the brain. Maybe truthout has some sort of latent fascist fetish? Icky...

[galtstriker19]

Out of curiosity, who, in your opinion, is NOT a Nazi that's running for President? In other words, who will you be voting for?

[votefornotagainst]

Well, I make it a point only to argue with people who can back up their points with facts or who are mentally capable of discussion. So, unless you can prove any of these ridiculous sweeping statements of seemingly blind hate for, well, everything... then, enjoy your bitter placebo pill existence.

[CaliBeach0007]

John McCain 2008!

[Robo1415]

Who gives a damn about the lighting?...it is the MESSAGE that counts...That's what's wrong with our politics,too much concern for image and not enough about PRINCIPLE and IMPACT....

[Nexus974]

How you package something is as important as what your trying to sell. If your videos look cheap and amaturish then you look cheap and amaturish.

[scwallac]

Totally agree. If Bob Barr is going to put stuff on YouTube it should have some minimal level of production quality and a cameraman who has a clue.

[daveyork0]

Why stop at 'LOOK cheap and amateurish'?

How about 'ARE cheap and amateurish'!

Sadtosaybutohsotrue.

[Robo1415]

I agree to a point with what you say,but isn't it sad that it comes down to not the message but the messenger?Or in this case,the style of the medium...No wonder our politics are so sorry...

[MishuTaste]

This video needs better lighting.

[daveyork0]

You got thumbed down for telling the truth. Laugh at those libertarian values.

[bmtindell]

Barr '08 - Spread the word!!

[libertyeconomics]

BOB BARR 2008!

[Korngodt]

The message is great, the video feels too rushed. Keep it up! I'm glad Bob is leading the charge for liberty.

[allencrider]

McCain has offered no way forward on Iraq, unless it's simply a permanent presence with permanent bases.

[SpecialRider1]

allencrider, what the hell?

Why don't you try and get our soldiers out of Germany, Japan, and Korea, if your so worried about it... Hell, they have been there way longer than we have been in Iraq...

And what's the difference if our soldiers are not being harmed?

I think it is unwise to move our troops until we get Iran, and Afghanistan under control.

[MikeRestin]

I didn't have a problem having to pay for a war in Iraq because at the time it seemed the right thing to do. I don't think we need to have a base in any country but the USA.

If the Saudi government wanted to put a base in Montana I'd squeal like a stuck pig.

They have no right in this country and we have no right for a base in theirs.

[daveyork0]

Great lighting.

Libertarian campaign professionalism for ya.

Like we see Obama and McCain standing oblique to the shot and dissolving into the shadows all the time, NOT.

Only an ex-CIA propagandist could get away with trying to recast voting for the Patriot Act, undeclared war against IRAQ, impeaching a President for intimate relationships in his private life, and discriminating against marriage equality for LGBT as libertarian conduct.

Plausible deniability?

[harryogre]

A) Who forced you to watch this?

B) Since you are an Aussie living in Sydney, since when does your opinion about an American election matter? Have you run out of Statists in your own country that need attacking?

Mind your own country's business!

Don't you have a wallaby to kick?

Maybe you would prefer a swim with some friendly rays.

[HarryNRubin]

crikey did you see the size of that crocodile?!

[daveyork0]

Try and get your mind around this. I get a vote in November too. It's called birth to an American citizen parent overseas.

And seeing this effort, would me not remarking on the 'professionalism gap' between this campaign and the other - would that make it any less of the apparent reality that it is?

Oh and btw, 'tis why YT allows comment on clips, so er people can, like, -comment- on the content and quality of what's put up here. Did I complain re being 'forced' to watch?

[BobBarr2008]

Yea sorry, I would have cleaned it up a little more like the other videos. I just had to get it out amidst launching everything else this week.

[daveyork0]

A more frank, honest, and to-the-point response than that of Harry above. Keep an eye on the production values of what the competing campaigns are coming out with. It can't hurt.

Best of luck and wish you well with it.

Can't blame you for being stuck with neocon Bob instead of Mike Gravel. Can I?

[scwallac]

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but there is no possible way to "clean this up" after it is already shot. You need to have real professionals who know how to shoot.  I hope you can accept my thoughts as "constructive" as I really do want to help the campaign.

[FreedomFox1]

Obama isn't principled -- he reversed his promise on FISA -- now who knows where he is on Iraq.

Bob Barr

Peace and Freedom in 2008

[YawnXen]

Bob, this is a video - not live. Do another take and get it perfect.

BTW I'm sorry that your campaign did not provide a HIRES image for use at the OCLP booth at the Orange County Fair. How long does it take to snap a digital photo and e-mail it?!

[ZoninV]
