"Robert E. Lee" Rich O'Toole

[BIGGIN1081]

GREATEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

[BIGKENNYAKA72]

Great song great video saw these guys last night at midnight rodeo in Amarillo. Can't resist a political debate. Honest Abe wasn't so honest he taxed farming so much the south had to use slaves what you see in the media these days is pure propaganda to separate the citizens so they will have an easier time socializing the industries WAKE UP! We would have more rights as a people if the south would have won the war slaves would have been freed anyways because the fuckin taxes would have dropped

[DeereHunter6]

You people are seriously arguing about the civil war? Just shut up and watch the video and have a laugh. Leave the politics out of it.

[bigshepo8]

this song is about robert e lee because rich ot'oole is a kappa alpha order brother and it is based on the beliefs of robert e lee

[SouthernerSince79]

Get them Yankee ducks (1:52)!

[SouthernerSince79]

Terrific. Absolutely terrific.

[ozarka66]

hey man we had a badass rave arty last night you should check out DJ Moonglow he plays all these songs backwards

[BCooper1]

fuck yall dumb fuckin yankees cuz the south is the fuckin awesome..And ya i hav a 4x4 and hav a confederate flagon it but i bet it will run over ur dumb fuckin economical car. My fuckin truck will go through a damn wall so suck on that bitch. Also i did vote for mccain so what u gonna do bout it.

The SOUTH will rise... Yeehaw!!

[GettysburgGhost1863]

What makes you think all northerners have an eco-car? I've never seen one of those pansyish little European cars here in Pennsylvania. I haven't even seen one in Maine, and that's the farthest north you can go in the contiguous US.

[threetoedhobbit]

Moved from town of 7000 in Illinois to a town of 13000 in west texas. Its not the location, its the mentality.  And I bet you probably have the confederate flag because you hate niggers eh? State's rights, and i agree. There's a difference between being southern minded person and and being a stupid hick. You have just proven you are the latter. Yes, I hate niggers and support state rights but being an ignorant dumbass doesn't bring stronger character to the stereotype. Thanks.

[oklahomacowboy1992]

hell yeah brother! those yanks dont know shit about shit we do what we do cause were proud of our heratige! the souths gonna do it again. them gas saving basters drive a prius to save gas for my dodge HEMI 4x4 and no matter what they say im gonna keep wastin gas and haulin till the day i die!

[MikeMorgan86]

I drove my truck into a wall, and it went through it. Its what trucks do jackass.. Cars hit walls and stop.. I.E. your prius..

[rhconrad90]

Robert E. Lee is a racist, rapist, and cold-blooded murderer. We would have been great friends.

[IrishPiratex]

This is quite possibly the most ignorant comment on this whole site. You have obviously never read a history book.

[nvanoort]

yall are fucking retards. yall are a bunch of fucking dumb hicks. yall probably all voted mccain. DO US ALL A FAVOR AND drive your piece of shit 4x4 pickup cunt truck into a wall.

OBAMA 08 WOOOOOOTTIIEEE WOOOOOTTT BABY

[17stety17]

hey dumbass what the hell has obamas dumbass done

[27istheNumber]

you are a stupid piece of shit. obama is a socialist bastard.

[DeathBivouac]

oh no! socialism? is that... progress?

shit. he's doing better than i expected then!

Onto Phase Three: PROFIT!!!

[threetoedhobbit]

You obviously don't study politics very much. Go talk to an economist with a college degree. I'm not worrying about your age, but I'd bet my left nut you grew up only listening to what was around you. Get both sides of the story. And public schools? Post offices? Law enforcement? All socialist institutions? Would you like to go right wing and privatize them? What america has to fear is neither right wing nor left wing, but the wingtips and the ignorant.

[ozarka66]

nigger my truck go right through that wall you take your communists ass back to AFRIKA! WOOTTIE WOOT WOOT SUCK ON MY TOOT!!! you bastard, cunt, dicksucker, mofucker, piece of shit, hope you burn in hell, twatwaffle, taint tickler, pole smokin, faggot!!! WOOOOOOTIE SUCK MY GIANT COCK

[YOUBETCHA21]

@nvanoort go suck on a texas dick, and yes i did vote for mccain becuase obamas a stupid nig and is a communist

[rscarff]

[ceoljoel]

Aint nuthin wrong with bein' a Southern Boy

at Heart...I still am.

fun song

[cowboycope34]

Love it...

[rgb002]

if anyone thinks that this is racist they are extremly stupid and dont know all the facts! first of all R.E.L never owned slaves. second of all he was the norths choice of general but turned them down when virginia succeeded because he felt a greater loyalty to state. third Winston churchill descirbed as "the last gentle knight". so next time go learn the facts. great song rich, you need to come back and play beer pong at the shsu ka house again. ill see you for you record release october 22nd!

[officialadamjodor]

is this real?

[hooter25]

lol at R. E. L. hitting every branch with the machette.

[DeadXOnXEarth]

Rich O'Toole is a member of the Kappa Alpha Order, Thats why he wrote this song.

[rscarff]

o'toole is money. good young songwriter

[renegade2465]

Black people have come so far, yet there are so many left behind. You have one life, you can bitch and make excuses on why you watched it pass by or you can work to make it what it could be. Support your freedom...be an activist...don't be stupid. - Cameron Gott

[renegade2465]

However, you are the only culture that continues to enslave yourself centuries after by carrying out hatred and ignorance on your part. If you think you have a right to bitch, talk to the Jews. Ever read the bible? They, go way back in the slavery game. I'm not saying slavery was right but it did keep you off the savannah in long run huh?

[renegade2465]

Haha, hell luckily for you my ancestors supported slavery, otherwise you'd be in Africa sporting a nice new buff flap and swatting the flies away from your eyelids right now. Almost every culture has been enslaved at some point in time. Ya'll were just the easiest during that era. Hell your tribe leaders traded the young men and women for things from our world. Blame them, go find a guy that speaks click on the horn of Africa and blame his ancestors, not mine.

[melissamg89]

One thing that SpadesRus needs to be educated on is that those if us that really do 'get' red dirt music can weed through the frat boy, cookie cutter sound...we know good music when we hear it and we are by no means sheep. I grew up on classic country and still listen to this day. I don't follow anyone on what sounds good..I have my own opinions and I voice them freely as do many of the ppl commenting here today. Loud and proud OKOM!

[wbano]

I know Rich, he was in my fraternity at school. If you think he is a racist you are dead wrong. Don't take this video seriously, he didnt intend it that way. Also Robert E Lee freed all of the slaves he ever owned BEFORE the civil war. He received these slaves as inheritance from his father in laws estate and freed them as soon as he could.

[RebelishiousChic]

they may of not been the best things in the world but then again there were MANY poor simple people that were living the same way... and like it was said before the war and the flag WAS NOT about race it was about FREEDOM! And the idiots that want to make it about race are just that IDIOTS! Rich I think you did a fine job on this song and video, keep up the great work!!

[RebelishiousChic]

Well, all I can say is "You can't fix STUPID, it's FOREVER!" IT amazes me how many times a race card is used in things like this. I understand that people were used for slaves and not ALL of them were Black! I know my ancestors had slaves back then but I also know that they were treated with respect that a person deserves. It's no different these days from having a maid, housekeeper, butler ect.. they had a roof over their heads and food in their tummy and clothes on their backs..

[karilou24]

wow they's some ignant fools up on huura. if you've met rich or had a 10 second convo with him you'd know better than to make dumbass comments about him being racist. it's a video and a fun song. get over it. you must have a sad life if this is your only sounding block for your ridiculous thought process.

[txbucky2k]

preach on John, preach on!!!!!

[centuriacenturio]

Rich O' Toole is not a racist!!

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus.... As you can see, slavery was not the issue for the War Of 1861 - 1865. Many want you to believe that the war was totally fought over the issue of slavery, but they are not the true purveyors of history. The same holds true today as it did years ago.

[centuriacenturio]

(2) continued... . The Southern States simply tired of this folly and proceeded to establish a new government for themselves as did the colonists when they wanted their freedom from King George III of Britain.

[centuriacenturio]

(2) The South.... The Southern States were simple workers who provided products that were shipped overseas. The North didn't care what type of labor supplied thses products. Slavery, to the North, was a Division of Labor. And after many years of abuse and oppression, the South had tired from being subjected to Northern rules of politics, trade and economy. The "fat cats" of the North were strangling the South and the South knew this.

[centuriacenturio]

(1) The North.... The Northern States held approximately 80-90% of the industrial capabilities of the States. But, these industrial capabilites were useless without raw products coming from the South. Tobacco, cotton, hemp, etc were what the North used to maintain its economic stranglehold and wealth. Without the South's raw materials, it would have been economic and political disaster. The statement "War is money" was as valid then as it is now.

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus.... There are 2 perspectives from which the North and South went to war in 1861

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus..Presdent Abraham Lincoln himself confessed at first that he had no constitutional right to make war against a State, so he resorted to the subterfuge of calling for trooops to suppress "combinatons" of persons in the Southern States "too powerful to be suppresses by the ordinary" process.

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus..In actuality the Southern States fought to repel aggression and invasion and also for self-government, just as the fathers of the American Revolution had done.

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus...Do not come in here and insult people when we can have an intelligent conversation with you if you have an open mind. And it seems to me that you do not have an open mind!! First of all, we all have alot to do and in our spare time, like now during lunch. I and no one else here do not sit around here doing nothing. We too have our jobs and other things to keep us all occupied.

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus.. That college degree that you have is declining in value. And so is mine. Our educational system in America us all based on lies. My college degree hasn't done anything for me. What has it done for you?

[centuriacenturio]

SpadeRus... I too have a College degree and yet my my historical education continues. The correct historical educaton that is. We have been led to believe that the War for Southern Independence was fought over slavery and it was not!!

[centuriacenturio]

Rich O' Toole is not a racist!!

[centuriacenturio]

Baruptoma... This is not racist. General Robert E. Lee didn't fight for the subjigation and suppression of anyone and neither did the Confederate States of America.

[spadesRus]

you sit here all day because you are a loser w/ nothing else to do. I, on the other hand am leaving for vacation, so have fun watching Dick Tool all day and chatting with your KKK friends.

And I don't see any facts thrown my way. Merely opinions. Where's the evidence that only 10% owned slaves. Cite your sources.

Hey, winning is everything. Your great-great grandfather should have won the war and maybe you'd still have Mammie around to wash your clothes.

[txbucky2k]

I by no means am a loser....I'm not the one that sticks out my chest and brags about my education and achievements that are all found on lies and propaganda. You resort to calling names etc. because you know deep down....you are greatly outmatched. I can cite my sources all day long and provide you plenty of reading. But face it, you wouldn't even bother, because like most of society....this myth suits you, it's the very crutch you lean on so you can feel sorry for yourself and "oppressed"!

[txbucky2k]

So can point the finger at anyone that disagrees with you or *gasp* proves you wrong....and call them a racist or whatever.....like I said, you lean on a crutch.

[ride050]

Hey Spades R Us.... or Douchebags r us... your a moron. So you mean to tell me that the slave days really had an impact on your life? In what way? You have more chances to make it than a white man. I am black... and sick if hearing idiots like you give us bad names. You dont need shit from the white man, quit your damn crying... and the holocost happened waaaaay before your time. and furthermore, Mr. Lee, was not a racist, he did not fight to keep slaves.He fought to keep the south free.

[IchabodEric]

Respect

[tedbone13]

WOW! Double RESPECT!

[tedbone13]

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do do not want to lose their jobs. "

-Booker T. Washington

[oileak82]

that is an ignorant comment, and it was only a small porting of the American population that owned slaves. The ones who owned slaves had to be rich because buying a slave back then would be like purchasing a car today, they were not cheap. If you would like sources go look it up in a history book because i do not feel like wasting anymore of my time trying to educate you.

[TheKingdomeOfOldKing]

@spadesRus Apperently two years since u left the most idiotic commentary i have ever seen. You commented on a video with the song robert e. lee and said that the south was racists? Excuse me im not even from america and i know that the only racists in you civil war was the north. I know all northern faggots is so got damn patriotic they repeatedly deny any sentence that includes the words "USA" and "failure" at the same line. Grow up little kid.

[txbucky2k]

you have no wish to argue with me because I'll sit here all day long and throw countless FACTS at you, but because you've been brainwashed by the system. You'd rather believe a myth than the truth, lest your educational "house of cards" will fall in around you, as I huff and puff and blow the lie away!!

"If the South loses the war...the North will write it's history." - Jefferson Davis

[spadesRus]

and personally, I do believe the war in Iraq is being fought for, mainly, those who drive, or could afford to drive, lamborghinis: Bush, Cheney, Exxon, Haliburton.

We are in it for the money - but you are most likely too blind and "patriotic" to see that fact as well.

[spadesRus]

yeah, and hitler's nazi party all hated jews and wanted them to die. whatever, no. they followed blindly for a terrible cause.

and saying that the war had absolutely nothing to do with slavery is utterly ludicrous.

you need to go back to school. the south fought to keep slavery in order for the large plantations and farms to keep production up. that was a major point in the war, and if you want to deny that, I have no wish to argue with you because you are denying sheer facts.

[spadesRus]

what lie was I told in my education system? I know the war was not only for slavery, I am well aware of that, but you cannot deny that slavery was a major reason the south wanted to secede from the north.

I am a college graduate and have most likely learned more truths than you ever will. But try to enlighten me... I would enjoy continuing my education if you are so inclined to help.

I do not believe everything I'm told. I am a national merit scholar, graduated in philosophy. better than you.

[txbucky2k]

Claiming that slavery was any part of the reason of the War for Southern Independence is lunacy in itself. Less than 10% of the soldiers that fought for the CSA even owned slaves. That's like saying the War in Iraq now is being fought only for those citizens that drive Lamborghinis. I too am a college graduate...whooptee doo!!! I don't give a rats ass if you are a merit scholar, you're still an idiot!!!

[spadesRus]

protest is what this country was founded upon. Do not forget that. And I am protesting this song. At least we still have that right today unlike the countless others that have been stripped from us in the past 8 years.

You might think differently, but this song sucks, and if you polled the entirety of American people most would agree. I do not think that is a bold statement, as most don't think "Cotton is king"

you're all just gross and want mindless music while you deaden your brains drinking

[spadesRus]

and as for the comment, "if you don't like it, don't listen to it." I was wondering if you think that we should just shove everything wrong with the world under a rug and forget about it?

The holocaust actually happened, it is a mar on everyone's faces in the history of mankind, yet we should look the other way and just not do anything about it or give our opinion of it? That's the sad thing about today. Any disagreement with something means you are unpatriotic.

[spadesRus]

that's the problem with red dirt - you fans just eat up any crap that comes out. get some taste. this song will never last, as won't many artists in that genre.

as long as it's catchy, the words don't matter. So much for actual and meaningful songwriting. In the words of Johnny Cash: "Country music is dead."

Sheep I tell you, you are all a bunch of sheep!!

[spadesRus]

no, slavedrivers do not exist, but that does not mean we should forget that general lee was fighting to keep it legal. and everyone keeps saying I shouldn't be so serious, but this is very offensive to some - me being black. Even ironic songs can be hurtful and not everyone takes them light to heart.

the song itself is ridiculous and terribly sung.

[txbucky2k]

It's only hurtful to you because the education system has made you believe a lie, and you're gullible enough to gobble up whatever the system tells you to eat, so who in the hell are you calling a SHEEP?? You should really try pulling your head out of the sand and finds some truths!! Quit leaning on that damn crutch!!!

[txbucky2k]

tedbone13....dude can you get this posted to myspace videos? I wanna add it to my profile, but it ain't showin up on there. Thanks man!!

[tedbone13]

yep, I am working on it now. I will give you a shout when it's up.

[tedbone13]

It's now on MySpace and on Vimeo(HD)

[txbucky2k]

This song rocks as does Rich O'Toole!! As for some of the negative comments, it appears that someone else has been drinkin the Yankee kool-aide!! Myths of history and this war have been taught and BRAINWASHED into anyone throughout our education. I urge all to put aside the 2 bit perceptions and myths of the War for Southern Independence and dig beyond the cheap lies that have been force fed to us.

[IchabodEric]

Low Budget, Check

Terrible Acting, Double Check

Irony, There you have it

Wow lighten up on life man. This was a total joke.

[spadesRus]

country music at its worst ever. possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. low budget, terrible acting - and I doubt this is based on any supposed "irony". most people who listen to this kind of music would probably condone friendship with slavedrivers. unbelievable. really bad taste.

I agree Bruptoma. yet, you need to learn how to spell. nice point though.

[dhprojekts]

how about u go play in traffic.

you need to lighten up. quit taking shit so seriously.

Yeah, your insight on this video is totally valued. Thanks for playing "who wants to be a music video critic", douche

[bocaj327]

how could you possibly assume that those of us who enjoy country music, or red dirt music for that matter, would condone friendship with a slavedriver? if you are not one of us you know nothing about us. btw when was the last time you met a slavedriver? this song rocks and the video is hilarious, get a grip guys and if you don't like the music, here's an idea... don't listen to it

[IchabodEric]

I hope BRUPTOMA is being facetious.

[sonvolt99]

LEGIT!

[rednecklady01]

cheesy acting... it made me laugh.

sweet.

[BRUPTOMA]

This is blatantly racist, General Lee fought for the subjigation and suppression of millions of people. Nice song, dick.

[Reicher86]

Screw you, this song is great.

[MikeEthan]

Your grasp of irony sucks. Did you actually take this video seriously?

[tedbone13]

Too bad you take everything so seriously. What video were you watching? I didn't see any "suppression" of anyone. Race-mongers & crybabies like you will never see that honoring historical Southern gentlemen is respectful not racist. But for you the glass is always half empty huh?

[briankp04]

sweet- BKP
