Mike Gravel and Ralph Nader on Air America

[manicmetropolis]

does gravel have a radio show?

[0ldhack]

naw. he hosted his own hour on air americs during the campaign. he needs one. he needs to get his ass back on youtube.

[evelau]

Ralph and Mike are two of my three favourite American political figures.

[mindtraveler2350]

A great compilation of pictures to the conversations Oldhacks. Thanks for all that you do.

[oldhacks]

no problem. I'm a neo-federalist that will never rest until the national Initiative is "On the Table"

[mindtraveler2350]

Let's do our best then to wake everyone up.

Hey Accountisavailable, I've noticed some of my comments on various videos either weren't posted or were removed once posted also ... so much for free speech.

[accountisavailable]

wow, just as I thought

[accountisavailable]

my comments on this video don't appear. maybe this one will, because it say's nothing.

[oldhacks]

I always copy my comments before I post them to make sure it isn't wasted.

[stealthswimmer]

ethanol could be used, but corn is not even close to being the best source. It's only used right now cus of government subsidies making it cheaper to grow corn than it actually should be. Same with soybeans, soybeans yield like 68 gallons per acre...but algae has the potential to yield 15,000 gallons per acre...but there's no subsidies for it. So a free market would help decide on what the best source is.

[ultimategoobah]

hell I can make a car run off dirt, water, gravity, the sun, wind resistance.. just about anything you could think of for that matter. hell, I can even use the planets magnetic field as an energy source. yall humans are retarded, coz what you don't realize is that energy isnt created or destroyed.. it just goes from here to there. yall are dumb.

[oldhacks]

yea..it's not rocket science. the elites have been working for generations to get the public as dumb as they are today.

[mrtyles]

Gravel, Nader, or Paul.

I don't care as long as one of them wins. If I had a ballot, I would vote for all three.

[necromancer74x9]

Please keep Islam out of American politics! Obama is Muslim! He was born Muslim, raised Muslim, went to school in Islamic Indonesia registered as a Muslim. He converted to Christianity just for politics. His church is an all black church that does not allow anyone else in which is racist! He has never renounced Islam. please watch Islam - What the West Needs to Know. It's on YouTube but its better to get the DVD & share it with everyone you know. Spread this info around YouTube. Tell everyone!

[sweetpotos]

Mike Gravel may be in favor of the "electrification of the whole country", but unfortunately I don't think he is in favor of Soviet power. Therefore, I can't support his campaign. ;)

[boomac62]

This is a wonderful posting, two true American heros', I have far too many friends who have gone Obama crazy...all i can say is that even if he is the "best" corporate candidate he is still a corperate candidate...evrybody is so hungry to "win" an election they will walk right inot this trap. Damn.

Thanks for putting this up!

peace in 2008 and beyond!

[oldhacks]

"Obama crazy" that perfectly describes it. anyone who cant see through someone as placid and phony as obama is truly crazy.

[o968u]

The first two seconds sounds like he's going to do a rap!  Damn I am disappointed.

[thewomandirector]

Nader's campaign filmmaker, Jurgen Vsych, has just released her new book about the 2004 campaign, "What Was Ralph Nader Thinking?" available only at TheWomanDirector dot com

[ryanshaunkelly]

Gravel Kucinich Paul Nader -

The truth is powerful.

[oldhacks]

will you plz stop with that crap.

Kucinich told his supportes to vote for Obama = no integrity

paul published racist newsletters and votes no on everything until he knows its going to pass and then sticks in his ear marks. hes a total con artist and he makes me sick.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

man you're paranoid, Ron Paul did NOT publish anything racially inclined, you just see what you want to see, like most of the Americans but you are Gravel fan

[oldhacks]

I published the newsletters on my channel. You can read them yourself.He called Martin Luther King a pedophile and said gays CAUSE AIDS and have no reason to live and that he misses the days when you "could shoot a youth" and that "its not immoral to benefit from catastrophe if you didnt cause it".9/11 anyone? bennifiting from catastrophe?if theres anyone besides bushco thats benefited from 911 its alex jones and ron paul

his pictures on the cover.He signed, published,and made money off of them

[luxcretia2]

propaganda.many african americans have rejected those fake accusations already. 1 moment.

[oldhacks]

stop being a ron paulogist and start thinking independently.

the newsletters you deny exist are right here..

/watch?v=22_G14lKTRo

[NIGHTMAREuki]

i do not deny newsletter, i'm saying that he did not write them

[shutdownthefed]

its already been proven he didnt write those newsletters. So all this integrity stuff you spew is a lie when you turn around and put out false information. Gravel is for the national ID card and carbon tax which is nothing more then a tax on life

[stealthswimmer]

I disagree with shutdownthefed on that carbon tax (taxing on carbon as an energy source). That does NOT place a tax on life. In a free market, the marketplace would decide what fuel is the best and which alternative fuel could be used. =)

For example...corn and soybeans get government subsidies so they're used...but they get less than 100 gallons per acre. Algae can yield 15,000 gallons per acre but nobody tries to go for it cus there's no subsidy for it. We need a free market! =)

[ultimategoobah]

taxing life would be taxing me everytime I breathed in oxygen for decreasing the quantity on the planet. yall should realize right there how stupid money is.

[luxcretia2]

YT: "Ron Paul is RACIST??"

"Ron Paul: why should Blacks&People of Colour vote for him"

"Ron Paul brings people together"

"Obama has nothing on Ron Paul"

[Fatmanc4]

Wow, a dream ticket Gravel and Nader.

[oldhacks]

a dream ticket at a time when the corporate candidates have never been more disliked. Get to work man. We really do have a shot at getting an independent president if we can just start raising enough money to force the MSM to recognize his campaign. America would vote for Mike if they just knew about him.

[Amebixfan]

I used to like Ron Paul until I read his views on the economy, and isolationist ideals. He's way too "free market" for me

[NIGHTMAREuki]

not isolationist, but noninterventionalist, means we dont invade other countries. as for economy Ron Paul is the only one who knows how it works and how to fix it, if its not too late.

For example McCain will ask his advisers what to do with economy b/c he has no clue.

[oldhacks]

Mike Gravel served 8 years on the finance committee. Mike has a lot better understanding on how to fix our crooked tax code. You cant just get rid of the income tax without replacing it with something. And Mike's idea of a totally transparent retail sales tax is the perfect solution. then prices will stay the same but we'll be able to know how much everyone else is paying. right now the middle class pay 70 percent and the rich pay 30. retail sales tax and monthly rebates through SS. the only way

[NIGHTMAREuki]

what will he do with the spending, wars and lobbying corporations?

[oldhacks]

He's been railing against the military industrial complex for 30 years. He read classified documents into the public record exposing the horrors behind vietnam and that our generals knew we couldn't win but sent men in to die anyways. watch any of his videos and you'll see this. search "pentagon papers". as far as lobbyists control over washington its real simple.He's going to give us the right to make laws as citizens so no more will the lobbyists dictate how laws are drafted. go to Ni4d dot us

[NIGHTMAREuki]

tell me what is difference between Gravel and Dr. Paul? (except the tax thing)

[oldhacks]

oh my god are you serious Mike Gravel,ended the draft,read the pentagon papers into public record, worked with the senate to impeach Nixon,got environmentalists and oil companies to work together to create the alaskan pipeline(one of the most ecofriendly and innovative industrial pipelines ever created)He started the nuclear critique in the senate which prevented GE from spreading nuclear power plants all over this country

Ron Paul?nothing he's ever put forward has ever passed. need I say more?

[Slaverevolt]

Ended nuclear testing in Alaska

[suckitjesus2]

Mike Gravel is awsome! Ron Paul sucks, and Dennis Kucinich is out. He's the last man left that stands for true liberty! YES to marriage equality! YES to a womans right to choose! NO to the drug war! YES to fighting global warming! NO to the war on terror!

[ryanshaunkelly]

Gravel Kucinich Paul Nader -

The truth is powerful.

[Xenu]

Paul is a white supremacist and unworthy of inclusion in that group.

[DanMRaymond]

No he's not.

[oldhacks]

yes he is. He made a lot of money off of those racist newsletters he published for 20 years. then when they're not convenient anymore "well I dont know who wrote that". YEA RIGHT! Anyone who supports ron paul beyond this point has serious issues and should seek therapy to free themselves from the cult you're trapped in.

[DanMRaymond]

Listen guy. I am voting for Ron Paul based on his political views and his consistent voting record. He wants to end the war on drugs.... none of the other candidates will do that or even think about it. Let his voting record and his actions speak for him, not some people out to smear his record.

[Xenu]

His record does speak for himself. He's a white supremacist in disguise. You do know these psychopaths have very strict rules against outing themselves, don't you?

[Lebensraum1918]

Speaking of psychopaths your "evidence" sounds more like paranoid delusion. It just seems like you are trying too hard to find something thats not there. The few neo-nazis and klan that still actually exist are pro paul because he is against infinite aid for israel and is for closing the border and lowering immigration. you are throwing out lots of facts but none of them equate to him believing that other races are inferior to his own.

[Amebixfan]

Still doesn't change the fact that he's in favor of corporations doing whatever they want, and less government regulation over them.

[Lebensraum1918]

Still doesn't change the fact that your comment has nothing to do with Ron Paul being a white supremacist or not.

[oldhacks]

have you read the newsletters he signed, published with his picture on the front and made money off of for 20 years?

You're not allowed to be in denial of ron pauls racism any longer. either claim yourself a racist or stand up against racism by denouncing ron paul. Cmon man. show some courage.

[oldhacks]

his consistent voting record is chalked full of racist motivated votes. voting against Rosa Parks being honored? voting against the voting rights act? voting against affirmative action? If thats the kind of record you hold in high regard then you must be a racist too.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

Ron Paul voted against using tax payer money to make Rosa Parks memorial, he suggested that members of congress would use their own money a to build it, and he already gave his share, its easy to use other peoples money to do good things and take all the credit. before you make false statements do some valid research

if you examine other acts yo mentioned more closely you will know why he voted against them they had other parts in them that were doing more damage than good for African Americans

[oldhacks]

without it going through congressional hearings its not OFFICIAL. do you not understand that? me and you could put some money together and make a statue of your hero Nathan Bedford Forrest but it wouldn't be a state monument. itd just be some stupid statue. and thank god Ron Pauls the only racist dumb enough to vote against it so now we can forever recognize Rosa as a LEADER in creating equality in America.

[gravelin08]

Mike Gravel wants to end the war on drugs, legalize drugs, provide medical help for addicts instead of jail time. Ron Paul wants to legalize all drugs and tough if you become a addict, that's your problem. The problem is that's still society's problem.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

if they will be legal all addicts will OD and no more problems

[oldhacks]

My uncle OD'd on heroin because he didn't know how potent it was. If regulated then he would've known the dosage he was taking and would not have accidentally killed himself. You couldn't be more wrong on the issue.

[Lebensraum1918]

You seem to have more wild speculation and wishful thinking than facts and hard evidence.

[oldhacks]

I think it's you with all the wishful thinking with your steadfast denial that Ron Paul is a racist kook with absolutely no ideas on how to solve the crisis we face as a nation.

[Snarkbutt]

There is absolutely no evidence of that. Do not be so gullible and instead search for hard evidence. As there is none, he must then be innocent. And hard evidence does not include desperate extrapolation in fallacy.

You have stepped on a mine planted by them to brainwash you, and are crawling helplessly to the very people who caused it, but you still have a chance to right it be seeking the truth. Ron Paul is NOT a supremist.

[r3s3t063]

Agreed. Do you NOT think that McCain and Romney would be using this type of "white supremist evidence" in order to destroy Paul?

I'm all for Gravel myself, but am sick of other people blackballing candidates with untruths in order to try and sway opinion. that's a pathetic move.

[Xenu]

Ron Paul is a white supremacist.

[oldhacks]

its all true. I liked Ron Paul at first too until I found out about his past. Ron Paul is not a good man. and Kucinich is a total phony that only ran to make the democrats look good and to secure his seat in congress. Mike Gravel is the only one with an amazing record and running today strictly because of his desire to get America back on track.

[beejusbeejus]

And a history chalk-full of bankruptcies to prove that he is just the right man to do it!

[gravelin08]

If you study people who achieve great success, they have often had failures in their background. They learn from them. Mike Gravel is trying to prevent more American bankruptcies among American people while other political candidates running will contribute toward and bring about more bankruptcies. That's an important difference!

[oldhacks]

more then that. it proves without a doubt that Mike understands fully the kind of bullshit that average Americans have to deal with because of our lousy government. and he has a record as senator that surpasses any other senator I've ever read about.

[Xenu]

RON PAUL IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST. His signature is on letters he sent selling his paper. He admitted to writing it in the 90s and said the articles only appeared racist "out of context." Now that the articles are on-line has he changed his story and denied it. I mean the paper is in his name and he knew about it! How stupid are you! He's against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, MLK Day, congressional medal fr Rosa Parks. Says that Lincoln extended racism by fighting the Confederacy!

[oldhacks]

the most important fact that the news letters exposed is the "new money" conspiracy he made up in the early 90's. Now he's changed his "new money" conspiracy into the "inflation tax" conspiracy. It just shows that hes a small time slimy liar that makes up conspiracies to get his supporters to send him money.

[Lebensraum1918]

How do you know for a fact that he is a white supremacist???

[Xenu]

He was the editor and publisher of those newsletters under his name. His signature is on the solicitation. He admitted to writing for it in the 90s and only changed his story later. Some of the most racist articles written by Lew Rockwell, virulent racist, who is still a close advisor of Paul. He voted against Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, etc. He is favorite of neo-Nazis and klansmen. The evidence is overwhelming. These stupid Paultards are cultists. Even worse than Scientologists.

[JesusEinstein]

Does mike gravel do a regular radio show??

where?

[gravelin08]

I like video format better. Just voting...

[LouisvilleKy502]

Mike actually hosted someone else's show on Air America. He actually did a really good job, took some calls, even had Ralph Nader call in.

You would *never* hear Hillary talk from the hip like this on the radio. Only Mike!

[Xenu]

This is a great video. Thank you so much for putting this together. Nader/Gravel '08!! Sure they're capitalists but as far as those go they're alright.

[Snarkbutt]

The United States are an entirely Capitalist society, and in that group Nader and Gravel are extremely moderate, favoring strongly regulation of corporations, etc. so as not to create a society run by the rich.

[gomey70]

"follow the money"

says it all really.

great vid of 2 legends, love to hear more.

[feeknocks]

We need to let the free market solv the alternative energy problems. Bureaucracies invest in the wrong shit.. Look at how we're shoving corn down our tanks when it could be feeding people.

[DecentralizedTommy]

I'm not a fan of flat tax with no deductions, I understand it seems to be the fairest, but its also what the elite want, ask yourself why? bec greedy people hate the mentally ill handicapped old people.

carbon tax = great idea- the best idea EVER

ps I voted for Nader - twice ;)

[oldhacks]

the differences between Mike's "Fair" tax and the rights "Flat" tax.

Mike would place the sales tax at around 23 percent. but everyone would have a monthly reimbursement given to us every month to pay for the essentials. Which will stop billionaires from spending millions and millions of dollars on crap like Watches. the right just want a flat tax at around 16 percent without reimbursing the public. Huge difference there Tommy.

[DecentralizedTommy]

interesting, might work

[oldhacks]

works better then the rigged system we live under today. then its totally transparent and then the congress and the public can debate changing where the tax is placed and how high our monthly rebates are. Most importantly then it will be a fair fight cuz it'll all be transparent. right now its like the pinata game. blind folded and spun in circles before we even get to swing.

[ArmchairRevolution]

The airbrushing on that magazine was disturbing.

[ArmchairRevolution]

I first thought this was an anti-Gravel video and wondered why you showed him making so much sense.

Then I realized, 'oh...'

[overmind25]

Follow the money. Go Ralph Nader!

[Vektor417]

*****

[overmind25]

*****. Great video

[DCUPtoejuice]

It's too bad the democrats didn't give him any traction. It sure doesn't speak well for the party.

[BamaGravelian]

The democratic party has been hijacked by the DLC. It's time for a strong third party to represent the people. With Gravel's plans for the NI4D, there's no better time to make that happen.

[travisalger]

Gravel is smart. He understand the issue. I don;t want a carbon tax. But he understands the energy problem and has real solutions.

[oldhacks]

see the pic of the crybaby?

[travisalger]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[oldhacks]

if you want to create 5 million windmills to get us off of gas and carbon in 5 years (which is the only way we're going to end the war and massive pollution) then you have to pay for it. Its not going to fall from the sky. people hear the word Tax and immediately tune out. We have to grow up.

[travisalger]

I hear ya. However, until the Federal Government stops waste how can I trust them. THey spent $2 Trillion in Iraq without my consent. That is a lot of windmills. Coincidentially I live in Arizona and would like to see a State program for Solar. We could easily create surpluss to sell to neighboring states and I think it's a great start and has the State revenue incentive. If enough states took up programs like that perhaps with some Federal help we could find energy independece that way.

[oldhacks]

you force the government to be more accountable to the people by enacting the national initiative. So that we can play a part in how our taxes are spent. ni4d dot us <- go vote today!

[gmfutube]

You pay an oil tax right now in the form of tax breaks to the oil compaines and the cost of war.

The American public has shown how reluctant they are to change on their own. I remember the oil embargo and gas lines. That didn't stop people from buying SUVs

[oldhacks]

keep in mind though that that's because that's where our leadership has guided them. through the corporate sponsored media, billboards on the highways, unfair business practices squashing competition, and gridlock in washington. American society doesn't practice wise consumerism anymore. you're right. But the total lack of leadership in our political field is some what responsible for that as well. Reagan killed the green movement in the 80s and gave the oil and car companies a big ax to wield.

[gmfutube]

I agree completely.

[gmfutube]

35 yrs later this man is still RIGHT.

Why can't people see this?

[oldhacks]

they can. Its just that, how are ppl supposed to see it when the media wont show it?

[stone1home]

Hillary? Political courage? It ain't there. She wouldn't even make a good Wheaties box cover.
