[DigitalCameraFever]

americans are too busy looking for all you can eat restaurants when they arent watching football, drinking and eating all the while. thats how rome fell, watching at the coliseum while stuffing themselves with free bread. see?

[grazon]

"Name: rick

Age: 39

Country: United States"

Speak for your self ricky.

[DigitalCameraFever]

are you here legally? one issue i agree on with the republicans, come here legally or stay the fuck out! now, i'll say whatever the fuck i want, I AM AMERICAN, who the fuck are you? dont ever tell me what to do, cocksucker

[grazon]

You describe Americans as "too busy looking for all you can eat restaurants when they arent watching football, drinking and eating all the while. thats how rome fell, watching at the coliseum while stuffing themselves with free bread. see?"

You're not very American.

[DigitalCameraFever]

this mutt thinks he can tell others what to say. all of our opinions reflect those of at least some of who are out there, so nobody can say speak for yourself, as surely some agree with what we're saying, such as this white house has willfully disregarded the oath of office to defend and uphold the constitution of the U.S. this is the crime of treason! the u.s. has become an empire. fascism, corporatism, a war eceonomy and the destruction of our currency is not a plan, its our ruin

[Shaaaunda]

It was all great but the two seconds of Flaming Lips at the end is the best part, de facto.

[DigitalCameraFever]

I like denis, but he's unelectable, with his ufo talk et al. politics is a dirty business, do my fellow bloggers know that? the art of politics soils the candidate, you end-up with a dirty candidate. barack using his surrogates to claim racism, therefore minimizing the damage of hillary's victory in Nh. then his camp can publicly denounce it.

[GodlessLitany]

He's only unelectable if people think that when they go to the polls and don't vote for him. The system isn't broken, people are just unwilling to change it.

[demurish]

Let's test this electability theory. Everyone who likes Dennis should vote for him and see what happens.

[priorzola]

Isn't the point of the primaries to allow people to tell the party who best represents their individual interests and not just reinforce the national party's hubris to use it's machinery and the media to tell you what to think? Vote Kucinich if that's what your heart tells you, and if only to piss off the DNC hacks. Business as usual only works that way if people play into it.

[madmethod2]

If his son fights like Viggo did in History of Violence then Chuck Norris is fucked.

[Goldhelmriel]

Did you see Viggo in Eastern Promises? He cracks some skulls in that naked fight scene!

[rarelibra]

Kucinich is a fucking tool.

[dickbutka]

Looks like the "King of Gondor" has a new favorite hobbit. Are you people aware that Kucinich is only 3'5",....he just looks taller on t.v.

[Visfen]

I bet you every other candidate is part of a white church, with only ONE black member.

[dickbutka]

You must lose a lot of money gambling.....

[Visfen]

I've aprox. 200k dollars on poker. So no.

[Goldhelmriel]

Damn, what I could do with 200K!

[machngunjoe]

worst coverage...ever..can we get some lighting please

[linguy22]

Courage New Hampshire, Vote Kucinich!

[linguy22]

Courageous Kucinich. balls of steel! I am voting for you!

[fishhead06]

Huey Long was a great leader? Is Kucinich like Huey Long because he, too, is an unbalanced demagogue? What an asinine comment!

[fishhead06]

Well, if an entertainer supports him that must mean he's the best candidate!

[Goldhelmriel]

Aragorn for President!

[vancerz]

Im voting Ron Paul, but Dennis Kucinich is a sand up guy I think Viggo made a good choice and is just trying to help who he thinks is good for america, nothing wrong with that.

[grazon]

I think Mel Gibson is a good entertainer does that mean I should agree with his politics?

[Goldhelmriel]

Not necessarily. But neither should they be dismissed, JUST because he is an actor. We voted in a former actor for president(Reagan) & now all of a sudden it seems like actors aren't qualified to have political opinions, but only if they are liberal.

[grazon]

I for one have NEVER voted for a film actor.

I consider actors opinions to be as important as that of an average citizen not more and not less.

[Goldhelmriel]

Agreed, although they do have more resources to become informed on many issues due to ability to travel & see the issues firsthand.

[grazon]

They also have the time and money to blow their minds on coke and booze.

Look at Paris Hilton.

[Goldhelmriel]

Not all celebs are so vapid, only some. Unfortunately those give the others a very bad name.

But in truth, many artists in society have an interesting 'alternative', viewpoint, & have usually been among the first to be discounted or suppressed in fascist regimes. I always get scared when people are discounted not b/c of the content of the viewpoint, but simply b/c of who they are.

[grazon]

You mean that there has always been alot of nuts in the arts community who are constantly being laughed at.

FTR I'm part of the community so yes I know how nuts it is.

[Goldhelmriel]

No, I didn't mean that. Guess you missed the my point. But what you said is true...but doesn't mean its right.

[voyzovrezon]

Thanks Veracifier for giving Kucinich some recognition.

[phreezephrame9449]

New hampshire voters - check out my video

"LIVE FREE tomorrow"!

America is watching...please, vote for personal freedom and economic reform at home, and peace abroad! Send the video to any independent voters...

and LIVE FREE in 2008!

[originalfatkid]

the first "supporter" sounds like she is from Canada.

[jsfumato]

Yeah,,,,Vig i want to see you go all History of Violence on Chuck!!!!

[CitizenWorm]

Is her identity a secret? Wanna try some gamma correction?

[CitizenWorm]

Hey, also...when your shooting change the setting on the ND filter.

(or you could hire me)

[Cmey2k]

i agree with him

[alnewberry]

Great leaders like Huey Long? That bitch is disgusting.

[DigitalCameraFever]

barack stated he will intervene in darfur, which means we will fight warring tribes in africa, thats what an obama presidency will bring, more war in the next cause - darfur. he has done nothing, he promises change, his promises are junk, speakling of which, he was a drug addict, nice, like bush. his turn to finish ruining this country, i dread to see how many hearts he will break with his broken promises. hes voted with the republicans when hes actually voted! denis, wake up, lefty

[Goldhelmriel]

I fraking HOPE someone intervenes in Darfur, at least that is a JUST war.

[DigitalCameraFever]

UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT WAR, THEN YOU WOULDNT MAKE SUCH AN IGNORANT STATEMENT -- WAR IS NEVER JUST! obama does not support single payer healthcare, this guy is so political he doesnt vote in the senate, doesnt that bother any of you people? jeez

[breakfastisready]

Wow Viggo - you make more sense when you are acting... :)

[7thStreetSaints]

no, when he's acting he makes dollars, as in millions - and yet it's amazing he's not succumbed to greedy self-interest or total indifference. Aragorn will own your ass anyday and I think you know that...

[breakfastisready]

Would you say the same thing about a business millionaire - that when he's working he's making millions but has not succumbed to greedy self-interest?

I think not.

Nor would Aragorn..... :)

[7thStreetSaints]

No because actors do not profit off the hard work of the disenfranchised - that's what the studios do; and unless you're Tom Cruise or Will Smith, actors tend to make not even a fraction of what a studio takes in. Which is why there is a SAG and also a directors and writers guild - to protect the interests of those respective parties against the business side of the industry.

[breakfastisready]

Greedy directors like Peter Jackson - who bitches and moans to New Line about the paltry millions he took in from the Ring trilogy when they asked him to direct the Hobbit?

Of course the studio finally offered him enough millions to get him to just recently agree to direct it.

And I won't even get into Viggo.

Stick to a subject you know something about.

[7thStreetSaints]

first of all, Jackson was always poised to make much more than Viggo - he's the filmmaker for christsakes, the man who had the craft to create the vision. And if Jackson wanted a few million more then, WHY THE HELL NOT?!?! given how great the films were...

I mean, it's not like it's Chris Tucker asking for more millions for RH3 (the most disappointing film of 2007).

Forget the film business....I support Dennis, do you?

[chip8989]

I like the Ron Paul signes in the opening shot.

[joebonk]

looks like there was a black out in NH

[maunaowakea777]

kucinich is the only authentic candidate in the field.

[Devin1498]

Kusinich should be brought back into the debates

[stone1home]

It's pretty amazing how Dennis gets out and casually mixes with folks. As for Chuck Norris, he's a known rabid right political nut case from way back.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

I appreciate that you're covering Dennis Kucinich when even most blogs aren't, but this video is pretty horrible. I gave it 5 stars for effort, but please have the foresight to use some lighting or the entire point of having this in video format is lost.

[hypnofan35]

Buck Snorris makes me sleepy. Although he has pretend killed and maimed alot of tough guys in the name of pretend justice and is second only to arnold in this regard. Dennis Kucinich is my candidate of choice by a long shot. I suppose it is easy enough to understand why most people prefer the renewed and revisited version of GWanker Bushit.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Kucinich ftw

[creole60]

Nice Bus Dennis!

[agitcam]

Get a light or move the subject into a light this is unacceptable. I don't don't mind but I support Dennis.
