Congressman Mark Kirk Runs Away from Iraq Vet, War

[poindexterwitkowsky]

__``````Senator Mark Kirk (R) is actively seeking_that _Poland be included in the list of nations that participate in the Visa Waiver program.._____Kirk argues that this will be a boon on Chicago's tourist economy since_Chicago is home to the largest concentration of_Poles_outside of Poland. Chicago is also home to the largest concentration of Poles who came here on tourist visas& never returned to Poland. THE_REPUBLICAN_MESSAGE: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS OK AS LONG IT HELPS YOU GET RE-ELECTED.

[epsilon8998]

Figures he would walk away. He doesn't want to answer any questions because he knows we wouldn't like his answer: which is to continue the war

[drifterted]

Kirk and Giannoulias are one in the same... Liars and cheats...

Michael Labno for Senate

[RonaldEmmis]

What dick posted this crap? Only a scum-sucking asshole liberal. No wonder the Democrats are in trouble nationally - this is the only thing they stand for. Vile, vile crap.

[TheWizzooo]

Way to stay composed, battle. I would of broke a beer bottle and bayonet charged his ass.

[logalogalog]

Kirk doesn't have any views. He just holds up a wet finger to find out which way the political winds are blowing.

[chad00023]

if this terd gets elected all americans will know that ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED

[chicaroo]

KIRK IS A CLOSETED GAY REPUBLICAN WHO VOTED AGAINST REPEALING DADT.

Mark Kirk = H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E

.

[ABLKMAN2KNOW]

As a Veteran I feel it is pathetic when politicians deceive the American people, lying about military service when the truth of the matter is this same peson avoided military service with every fiber of his being. He's a coward pretending to be brave. How pathetic?

[yungplex]

Everyone knows mark is gay. (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that)

[mrcubfan]

What do you expect, this idiot Kirk voted for cap and trade. He's a liberal.

[51362879]

Kirk walked out the door in the vid, and he needs to keep walking.

Keep walkin' Kirk, We already have a Dick named Durbin and we don't need two.

[yahlers]

Mark Kirk is pro-cap and trade, and pro-stimulus. He's another liberal in Republican clothing.

Vote for Patrick Hughes, an ACTUAL conservative.

[RepublicanProud]

SORRY I CANT BELIEVE THE REBULICAN PARTY WOULD NOMINATE A GAY PERSON for the Senate

[mis2127]

he is not gay. there is zero proof for that. YOU with your slander are a disgrace to the republican party.

[mrcubfan]

I'm one who doesn't care if he's gay or not. But I do care that he voted for cap and trade and that is a disgrace.

[rahdzhillaxxx]

the republicker party disgrace themselves every waking hour. They dont need any help. Also goes for the demacraps too.I vote and pay taxes so I have the right to be absolutely fed up and disgusted with the whole of our Government and its disgraceful RAPE of our country.

[12dogpal]

Congress Kirk - YOU LIE....

about everything from the health care bill to your own lies and john mccain stumped for this idiot? shows what mccain knows about vetting republican scammers....

[craigc380]

Mark kirk also compared Pot to cocaine and wanted to make high grade marijuana possesion a felony. I don't want my tax dollars paying for people in jail that smoked some pot! He is an ass!!!

[dontlikenumbers]

Just another typical Politician. They can run but they can't hide.

[Poffpoffpass]

FUCK MARK KIRK!

GIves a bad name to Republicans, and im not even one.

[kn9iou]

Republicons gave America two depressions and a fake Iraq war for oil !?!

[lovehaightorg]

kirk compares marijuana cocaine - google 'super pot'

kirk is a jerk and a joke and does not allow comments on his youtube channel

[vegism]

LOL I just read that. Kirk is a bitter little girlyboy. I'd love to punch his snobby nose in.

[chungo608]

Many of the founding fathers notated in letters their pleasure in smoking marijuana, Including Washington, Madison, Monroe, Jefferson & Andrew Jackson i guess you'd want to incarcerate them too huh kirk yah piece of %** Screw your cannabis bill. i hope it fails miserably so you can tear tear tear. wasteing more of IL tax on your dumbbuffoon

[joein1972]

Kirk just voted yes to cap and trade the second biggest lie and scam in American history

[bigc028282]

He is a SECRET CHICKENHAWK.

[letsgojogging]

I would never vote for Rep. Mark Kirk, not even if he were the only candidate on the ballot.. He is ignorant and ill-informed on the issues.

[StoogeWatcher]

Josh Lansdale is a proven phony, just like Jesse MacBeth.

[alright4u]

A Fake Vet who joined the Colorado Veterans Alliance has been arrested. He claimed he was in the Pentagon on 9/11, plus you name it, and; he is really a mental patient. Bottom line- he never served a day.

Ask to see DD214. Please

[keithk317]

On his website, under "Crime legislation" he has a renewal of the Assault style rifle ban. When are these headliner grabbers going to accept the truth that the firearms are used in less than 1 percent of all firearm related crimes!? Chicago was the 2008 U.S. murder capital....with a handgun ban in place! Law abiding gun owners aren't the problem.

[bigc028282]

The TRUTH is that they don't want us to have weapons period. What laws are laws to abide in relation to our amendment rights?

[chungo608]

"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson

[txngasnguns]

Kirk is an anti second amendment shitbag.

[KingPeter888]

Kirk is a GOOD MAN. I work for him

[midwest26]

Is he related to Alicia Kirk it could be a possibility..

[301AD]

Obviously Josh Lansdale is an exception to the intelligent and patriotic Iraq Vets out there. Josh's room-temperature-IQ video stunt is quite transparently political and meaningless. But, I guess with lots of time on his hands, he has found his mission in life: stalking congressmen and badgering them with the same boring question..over and over...and over. Hey Josh, get a clue and get a personality. This was freaking boring and proved nothing. Nice Try. Also, getting a life might be in order.

[IllinoisCAN]

Right. How dare he expect a response from his Representative. Doesn't he understand that Kirk is above us all and that we shouldn't expect him to spend any of his time on us. I live in Kirk's district and I'm also a veteran. Kirk makes me sick.

[libertylearner]

Ron Paul, he would show respect. And not like the rest of the republicans.

[futureshocker]

shame

[WWWoDMOCRATSoORG]

Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

[KalbfleischCampaign]

Dave Kalbfleisch, an anti-war Navy veteran of the Iraq conflict, is running against Kirk. Check out electdave dot org if you live in the district.

[KalbfleischCampaign]

test

[appregios]

bushes man there lol, what a peice of crap thats my liberty there, we the people answer my questions i pay for your paycheck asshole your fired, thanks for trying

[wallywalt]

Typical Chicken Shit Hypocrite.

What type of Pathetic Dweebs would Vote for a smiling sack of crap like this?

[dafad77]

maybe josh, the vet, should answer some questions himself and not hide from the media like he did when he was featured giving fabricated statements attacking Jim Talent in Missouri during the '06 race.

just search for the video "josh ad false" really shows a lot of character lying about his treatment with the VA.

[lansdale01]

Nice try Kirk staffer. Actually, this is Josh and I have the documents to support my claim. If you look back, there were a lot of folks coming out on the treatment of the VA. It wasn't just me. I'll gladly show anyone who wants to see them in person and visit with me about it.

[lansdale01]

There were things that were reported on me that were false. Things I never said and things that others spoken to the media about things that never happened. I have nothing to hide. Nice try though. Trying to take the light off of Kirk isn't going to work. His constituents see that he avoided a veteran right here on camera. He totally runs away from the hard questions asked. I will continue to ask those questions to all Congressmen until we get real answers.

[lansdale01]

WE ALL WILL HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS VOTES. ITS CHECKS AND BALANCES MY FRIEND. ITS TIME TO TAKE A STAND AWAY FROM BUSH'S FAILED POLICY AND STAND WITH HIS CONSTITUENTS. I hope that Congressman Kirk joins our campaign on our TAKE A STAND DAY. We have formally given a request for his presence. See you there

[lansdale01]

By the way, just for a thought..... I have a 40% disability rating with the VA. When I returned in 2004, the VA system was a wreck. I think the media reported on how bad the VA was too. Just a thought though. Then Walter Reed emerged.

[NickInjecton]

The vet needs to be more assertive and let this guy he knows he is CFR scum. This is a congress man funded by AIPAC, international banking and the military industrial complex and you must let him know that you know this! Scum like him needs to know that we know they are controlled by elite special interests bent on a war with Iran and global government. The peace movement needs to get it's shit together and realize the Democrats are just the same!

Ron Paul in 08!!

[JeffersDodge]

The economic sectors in Iraq include the agricultural, infrastructure, banking and energy. Iraq has the manpower, access to foreign capital and natural resources to create a flourishing business environment. What's evolving is a workable tax system, an organized legal and regulatory framework, a reformed, transparent banking sector and adequately paid bureaucracy. What's hindering development is the emboldening rhetoric coming from the American Democrats in support of Iran and Al Qaeda.

[ladalang]

If this guy ever holds another political office it will be a crime. Who ever runs against him needs this video in their commercials.

[kinder16]

How dare he not even talk to him. "See you guys" how rude and insulting is that.

[Wallpits]

Dang Kirk, at least confront the man!

Vote Dave Kalbfleisch in 2008. He'll call to bring our troops home NOW and would urge to cut funding for Bush's war.

electdave-org

[wesforster]

2125 days since Bush said he would get osama dead or alive. Not only has he not caught Bin Laden, reports from his administration indicate Al-Qaida is as storng today as they was on 9/11.

Bush is a complete failure.

[netpot8o]

freeing a dictator is not always a good thing, and Bush senior knew that. No matter how corrupt the warden is, you do not improve the situation by shooting him and letting a prison full of criminals free to roam about...

[netpot8o]

veriteez is also right that in America, everyone is free to have an opinion, no matter how wrong or misguided his may be...

[netpot8o]

veriteez is right, tyranny needs to be wiped out, let's start with Bush and Cheney!

[veriteez]

You have your opinions. You see it one way, I see it another. Tyranny needs to be wiped out.

[MattInfowarrior]

Any suggestions of where to "clean up" next?

[veriteez]

you see it your way. I think we all want to see a better outcome, and freeing people from a dictator is a good thing. Do any of you believe living under a dictator is a healthy life? So we shouldn't bother with helping generations from this? wow

[MattInfowarrior]

"You see it your way."

Exactly what Hitler said to his German critics. They saw it as mass murder, genocide, and an aggressive war by a tyrant. He saw it as "social hygiene" and "for the national security of Deutschland."

And "we shouldn't bother helping generations from this?" Like we helped Iraq?

[veriteez]

I don't support a tyrant who purposely killed thousands. we don't go in purposely killing anyone. There's a difference. You can thank the extremeists for the deaths. all we wanted was Sadam out and to free the people.

[nandansho]

Whadya mean "WE" wanted. Saddam did'nt do jack shit to me. It was OSAMA remember? Yeah where the fuck is he, did Bush get the guy responsble for 911? No he just raided the Treasury and killed thousands of people who had absolutly nothing to do with that attack. If the Iraqui's wanted Democracy they have a right to do it on their own just like the USA.

[sunnfun]

So we kill over 700,000 Iraqis to free Iraqis???Wow!What a concept!

[MysterEy1]

I guess you didn't suck the devil's dick like the mainstream media does! That would be the way to get the politician to talk.

LOL

[veriteez]

I support democracy for the Iraqi people. That I support. Do you? Wouldn't it be great to see them live in a tyranny-free society?

[MattInfowarrior]

Do you support genocide? Because that's what we're giving them now. Most of Iraq lives in third-world squalor, with 700,000+ Iraqi civilians dead since the beginning of the war.

Iraqi women and girls have to prostitute themselves just to get enough money to survive now.

Iraq has plunged into bloodthirsty anarchy.

How liberating.

[Dennyc52]

matt ironically we are also in an anarchy with bush and cheney and lets not forget the puppet master rove. I agree this is not about Democracy for Iraq it is for control in the middle east. Iraq sits smack dab in the middle. The bushevik mob has already built the largest embassy in the world right in the middle of Iraq. And lets not forget the new military base. Sounds like democracy to me

[sunnfun]

Why don't we invade other countries who don't have democracy?Hmmmmm........Wouldn­'t be lucrative to the Bush or Cheney family.

[FurkDaJerk]

Oh, he WILL take a stand, but only after he gets his marching orders from his Constituents, his Contributers, and the Corporations.

[merskin]

More and more Americans are standing up and want action but are not getting it.

Ron Paul is who America wants in office.

[weezcake]

Looks like he's doing a GREAT job of connecting with his constituents.

[Borodot]

Mark Kirk = Douche Bag

[veriteez]

It's a shame what happened in the video. I support all the troops and the war to bring democracy to Iraq.

[Beatleologist]

This war doesn't have a fucking thing to do democracy in Iraq and you know it.

[Scheeno]

talk about a slap in the face

[cryan71]

Kirk only talks to Republicans. You need to send these videos to their local media.

[mwe1967]

Take a stand on what? Would have been nice to see the entire conversation instead of just the last minute. You were probably being a dick about something and he decided to walk away.

[foxfingers]

Um, its quite obvious that the Vet ambushed him on the way out of somewhere. Still, it takes some balls of your own to come and try to defend the indefensible, no matter how feeble your attempt may be. Lonely much?

[donnygull]

Mark Kirk= Repiglican Pussy

[cujothekitten]

Hey Mark Kirk, fuck you.

[V1cT1M38]

Its all about the ppl that matter.Halliburton, oil, and pharma.Whoever they are.

[clat1]

typical-the only time these assclowns will talk to a citizen is when they have a check in their hand

[midwestcharm]

Let's show them what "blowback" is all about. Vote all these self-righteous clowns out off office. Go Ron Paul!

[BadDolphin]

How can anyone still support the Republican Party? Battered Wife Syndrome?

[jfabiani]

Gee, risk your ass in Iraq and get ignored by his representative.

They ignore the voter. They ignore the soldiers. They ignore the protests. What's left to do?

[devilbush]

Move to the next box.

[Dennyc52]

and they keep claiming dems dont support our troops and keep calling them unpatriotic. I have figured out when reps say something they mean exactly the opposite. Whatever they say usually equals exactly what they are doing while they try to pass it onto someone else like no ones looking. We need to read between the lines

[jfabiani]

The dems will support the military contractors they are beholden to serve. I wonder how many have made profit from this war.

[Dennyc52]

Right now I do not support either party. Both parties are money mongers, especially Hillary Clinton. She represents corporate America.I am just saying because someone does not support this war does not make them unpatriotic.

[jfabiani]

We've got the best democracy money can buy.

[Dennyc52]

aint that the truth. While the rest of us are being raped and thrown into sub-serviant positions.

[jasonking10001]

Video won't load - other videos do! However strangely the comments work? I'll try later.

[epictetus2007]

Another Chickenhawk wuss on the run! Thank you Josh Lansdale!

[softearth]

I'm sorry that the congressman treated you that way.

[theherd12345]

Hey KIRK! Got a kid ya want ta send to Iraq ta die for "THE CAUSE"? You peice of SHIT! From a VET! BOONEY RAT 1969 I KNOW YOUR KIND MF'ER

[theherd12345]

This is EXACTLY what you can expect out of these ELECTED SOB'S They will "SEE ya at the VOTING BOOTH and the BANK when they cash in that WHOPPER CHECK they make! NOTHIN ELSE BUD!

[jackb3856]

Another fucking moron like the assholes #1 & #2 in the white house!!!

[nyguy]

What an idiot, that shows how much the rightwing nuts loves our vets.

[babylonsfalling]

Fucking Coward!

[jaymzdean]

Vote Ron Paul. His interest?

YOU!

[VLOGZTV]

i agree with 17erstad ... what an asshole... all he said was see you guys ...wtf

[17erstad]

What an asshole!

[VLOGZTV]

i agree

[CodiferL]

Truly pathetic.

[intarwebzz]

what a coward. even if he's for it, he can at least say it instead of being a weasel cheesedick about it.

[TarotFate]

Ron Paul 2008!

[foxfingers]

Atta boys! Call them out for us! I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

[rlh68]

I bet he would take a stand if it helped fill his bank account.

... Let the 2nd American revolution begin!

[Dennyc52]

Power to the people. Live free or die!

[wineandwomen]

That Kirk is one chickenshit motherfucker.

[thebigamerican]

Oh my God...He totally disrespected one of the people that has fought to keep him free and in power...what a pussy.

[GreenCutip]

Voters in the 10th will certainly have an alternative in Iraq Vet Dave Kalbfleisch who favors an immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Iraq. And he doesn't take corporate money!

electdave-org

[lmn8bush]

Is that the ' Cut and Run ' policy that the republicans are so happy to talk about ?

[foxfingers]

Lol. I was thinking the same thing.

[delhiflint]

a website should be dedicated solely to video footage of politicians being confronted on video by citizens.

[gregalabama]

Ron Paul 2008!

[IraqSummer]

If you know anyone in the 10th district who would like to help, e-mail illinois3 at iraqsummer dot org.

[bridgetdooley]

What a slimeball Mark Kirk is. Dan Seals is going to beat the pants off him!

[CTBob]

Great work, Josh! Never give 'em a chance to sleaze out gracefully...you gotta keep the pressure on 'em. Well done.

[dmcrawford]

Absolutely shameful. How can he not even acknowledge someone that he voted to send to war in Iraq? That shows just how much disrespect he has for our soldiers.

[tmatzz]

Mark Kirk is toast next year
