Haha, you'd really get that upset because they played a nomination acceptance speech? It's not like they were blaring propaganda or anything. It was as much an news service as anything else - most people I talked to that night had no idea that he won the nomination until they announced it during the dance party. I thought it was kind of cool how they merged it into the music.
Bleh... do you think Burning Man has any place in Obama and his Communist Cadre's plans? When Obama's America comes to reality things like Burning Man will be a thing of the past. Remember Nietzche's words: "The true free spirit will not wish to see the laws of the herd abolished, lest there be nothing to struggle against... and overcome." Communism sucks balls. It is the enemy of freedom and free thinkers. Signed... 7 time burner from the old days.
I'm confused. On one hand you say Burners are dumb fucks about politics, and then praise Obama. So are you presuming Burners are against Obama? While I certainly don't speak for everyone who visits Burning Man, I can say that the vast majority of people that I talked with last year were ardent Obama supporters.
Don't mistake some jerky comments to this video as a blanket anti-obama statement.
Part of participation in life is getting information . That does not mean we expect anyone to save us . We save each other . Free speech and communication is vital.
So.... are Burners still cheering for Obama? I'm worried there won't even be a Burning Man this year, the way things are going. Obama is doing exactly what Bush did, just on a larger scale, and with a nicer smile. Please wake up, look at videos by Peter Schiff, visionvictory, Ron Paul. These people understand money, politics, peace, and freedom. I mean real freedom, not what passes for it in the US in the past 100 years or so.
Still, great video, in that it reminds me of BM. I miss it!
@Drutter - Most people at Burning Man had no access to news off the playa. The good people at Opulent Temple paused the Dance Music for a minute to present this segment of Obama's acceptance speech. It was a really cool moment, and I really appreciated it.
see xivoev's comment... we were not in contact with the default world- so the DJ brought it to us... it was an awesome moment. i had an overly happy french guy hugging me after. : ))))
Wow, I'm embarrassed to find that ignorance abounds even among us Burners. :( Obama's plans are to continue the decline of America, to further the wars overseas, and to put more money in the hands of corporate CEOs and banking cartels. He has close ties with ALL the major corrupt entities (such as the CFR). This barely scratches the surface on him. And no, McCain isn't any better - both are being paid to bankrupt & destroy the USA. As your Canadian friend, I urge all Burners to wake up and READ.
This totally ruined my moment, I went back to 10:00 and had a great time.

What a bunch of bullshit. How dare the Opulent Temple force their political views on burners trying to dance. Not cool, glad I missed it.

I didn't actually get much out of the speech, nor did I understand why this was at Burning Man.
