Media Blackout - Theater of the Absurd

There is medicine that can help Ralph Nadar. If you know him, encourage him to seek the help he needs.

Hey, you 60% or so that didn't vote in the last federal election: Now is your chance to effect real change! Vote for Ralph Nader on November 4th, 08. Use it or lose it!

[shellacbigblack]

F the two party system. this is why nothing ever gets done, and yours and my money is spent unlawfully!!! If i vote, i'm voting Nader

[halliday2010]

[rhysfawr4]

RE:"lol i love how i watch programs about the election and i never even hear of this guy... you guys can just waste your vote it you want"

lol halliday believes that if you aren't blasted daily with something by the corporate media, it can't have any value. Thanks for illustrating so clearly in a single comment why America's admirable constitution is so easily trampled by a few powerful elitists.

[halliday2010]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of brain washed people out there that could care less if you make sense! Reality just isn't an option for these people! I guess, we have to either wait till America is without any question in dire need or, to start a revolution as of yesterday. I of course am all for the later, as my freedoms are at stake.

[rhysfawr4]

The bravery of this man is astounding: To run for President when he must KNOW that a win means his immediate death. Everybody realises that the corporate elitists running the US polyarchy can't allow a person like Ralph Nader to reach a position where he has power over them. A 'Jeffersonian' revolution(perfectly Constitutional and bloodless btw)resulting in Mr.Nader becoming President would mean the end of corporate control over the American psyche, something the 'elite' will never allow.

[JJavenger1988]

If we all executed the elitist COCKSUCKERS, then could nader be the president for an extended period of time.

And before posting your response, please consider the fuckin' French Revolution.

[JJavenger1988]

I'm very sorry then, but I had to cut a swathe through the censoring B. S. and COCKSUKER IS USUALLY THE KEY WORD THAT IS ABLE TO DO THIS.

[AiresQX4]

Everyone remind the mindless McBama Drones

that BOTH of them supported the Unconstitutional bailout. BOTH of them supported the Illegal FISA wiretapping. BOTH

of them supported the "Thought crime" bill 1955-1959. BOTH of them supports the UNPATRIOTIC Patriot act. BOTH of them support

the BOGUS and purposely never ending

"War on terrorism" BOTH of them refuse any kind of REAL RE Investigation of 911. BOTH want to continue the WARS in Iraq and increase Afghanistan instigate Pakistan,Iran!!

[ranatlas]

I believe that most people who vote for Nader wouldn't vote for either the Republican or Democratic candidate. . .so a vote for Nader doesn't really take anything away from the others.

[0613162k]

I agree. 60% of the electorate aare non voters as a means of silent rejection for both parties & lack of an alternative choice. By Nader and other independent/ 3rd parties being viable national candidates, it allows anti war, anti corporate coruption voters, anti death penalty voters, single payer universal healthcare voters etc. an opportunity to express themselves through their vote.

[hollywoodartchick]

I also object to the idea that Nader "steals" votes. He EARNED votes. Why should I just GIVE my vote to a candidate who is not even trying to address the issues that matter to me? How do these brainwashed drones conclude that votes are OWED to bad candidates just because they are "likely" to fool a majority of the public and electoral college? My pragmatism says, "Let's build the real opposition parties." Let's show support for the candidates who treat us like we have brains.

[84almond]

All he does is steal votes from Obama...

Even if you want him to win, you know he won't, so why waste your vote?

[84almond]

he's still running?! Wow. I haven't heard anything about him for months.

[jumpforjoyjenn]

This is an obscene election. Obscene amounts of money being spent by the two major candidates. Obscene blackout of the independents (but it's really Ralph Nader they're worried about, isn't it?). I can't stand it. Where will it end?

[mad3moyer]

Agreed. I have been very impressed with Gonzalez and he is someone I could definately get behind if Nader were to pass the torch on to him.

[0613162k]

Matt Gonzalez is Nader's VP candidate.

He's a leading voice on election reform and said that implementing it would be his priority as VP.

Watch youtube videos entitled:

" Matt Gonzalez - Natl Latino Congreso "

and

" Matt Gonzalez at the Fighting Bob Fest in 2005 "

I guarantee you'll be impressed with his no no nonesense politics.

[tonylee1973]

God Bless Mr. Nader, they won't let ralph debate them because Ralph would destroy Obama and mcain

[shudderbug]

Do a Google search and you will find out.

[johndownunder]

Nader and Gonzalez are real politicians whose intersts are the issues affecting the lives of the American people.They continually try to raise those issues against a total media blackout and censorship by the corporate media.Obama and McCain refuse to share in debate with them because unlike Nader and Gonzalez they dont want to be confronted on their lack of concern for US Citizens.Gravel,Paul Kucinich and others treated the same because corporate America does not own them either.

[josephdupont]

he has my vote.

[redsolardragon1320]

keep assembling and putting out information cuz the way that the dem and repubs are going to mess this up in the next 4 yrs is going to be amazing,

[shudderbug]

Do you know how to use Google?

[MankindCartoons]

I can tell your a smart guy.

[iMBBonlyone]

to The People:

Or would you like to swing on a star,

carry moonbeams home in a jar,

and be better off than you are,

or would you rather be a pig/fish/etc ?

[JJavenger1988]

UMMMM

WTF are you talking about???

[iMBBonlyone]

Do you know the song?

Swing On A Star.

look it up.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Can't wait to see Ralph Nader and Triumph!

[cartoonfan2008]

yes of course.

[colombian18]

Keep your chin up Ralph and keep fighting. There has been like one or two news article on you and the other independent candidates on bbc news in Britain, and hundreds on mc cain and obama. But atleast the internet can let you get some coverage. peace

[JJavenger1988]

Yes.

Vote For 3rd Party if you want so real fucking change.

[HebrewHammer36]

I heray 100% on that

[JJavenger1988]

LOL!

This has already gotten 3000 views on its second day. I hope more people are catching on. I can't even watch the two popular candidates because they're so full of shit. 95% of what they say is really empty generalities... they're not really saying anything.

[blackcatsoda]

Tonyinrosnemex

Congratulations!!!

Thank you for your support of the best candidates running for President and Vice President of the United States!

[freekrolik]

link to the puppet show ? :)

[histerics3]

you don't want to see the puppet show - it's completely depressing

[oakschris]

And it's not even well made. It's poorly edited and not really clever or anything. They edited out most everything Nader said.

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

Ralph Nader is a great Man and our Country is a better place for him keeping his voice for Peace and Freedom --- Wish I could go to the End the FED rally at Wall Street with you guys on Thursday

Shout it Loud!

Peace!

[ryanshaunkelly]

mckinney too

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

and Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr -- anyone of them is better then Mcbama --- great point!

[badfinger111]

Thank's JPALLISON for sharing.

[BraaapMan2000]

Nader is doing a nice thing by running. I'm not supporting him in this election, but I appreciate what he's doing for third parties. They should make a movie about his like, a real feel-good movie, and have Ed O'Niell play Nader. Make him real likable and all that. People don't know much about Nader, even though he's been around forever. And who on earth is Gonzalez??? That is a great mystery, who is this shady Gonzalez??? I know less about him than I do about Sarah Palin.

[whckzog]

@BraaapMan2000 they did make a movie about him, "An Unreasonable Man", you should watch it and then recommend it if you like it, I do.

[j97hou6]

Who the hell is John McCain? Who the hell is Joe Biden? Some nobodies from Arizona and Delaware?

Triumph is usually hilarious, but his bit with Nader was awful. Nothing wrong with either Nader or Triumph. It's just that the skit works only if the interviewee genuinely is UNAWARE of what Triumph is all about.

BTW: I don't support loser troops who were so pro-war gung-ho and then lose their lives. Totally impractical, not getting off a kill before they kill you.

[blackcatsoda]

BraaapMan2000

Matt Gonzalez is the next Ralph Nader

It is called a computer or library, look him up.

He has SO much more character than anyone running, with the exception of Ralph.

[BraaapMan2000]

blackcatsoda - clearly I could look him up myself, but what kind of campaign is that? "hey, You want to know about my running mate - GO look it up yourself!" I'm just saying Nader should tell more about him. They could put Gonzalez in the Nader movie, and cast Benico Del TOrro or Cheech Marin. Ed O'Neil and Cheech would have good chemistry, and it would drum up Nader support. They can put in a touching intro to Gonzales, so people don't think he's shady. So don't get snotty with me.

[blackcatsoda]

?v=WOk-JmsYlb0&feature=related

Here you go..Words worth hearing...

[Ljandj99]

Nader, Kucinich, Ron Paul, now that would be a dream team, peace, love, balance

[birchmanllc]

Add Jesse Ventura and you have me sold.

[NWKBricks1]

I expected Ralph to be ignored by Gibson and Couric, but Bill Moyers? He has been analyzing B.O. and McCain's every move, but he can't sit down with Ralph for an hour? I have watched Moyers' specials for years and admire his work, but this is really absurd.

On the bright side, Ralph got pooped on by the one and only Triumph.

Thanks for posting this VN08.

[mustardgreens2008]

Why America is going nowhere but down:

The Two Party System. Why? Here is an analogy.

If two people in a boat are stuck in the middle of the lake, and one person tries to paddle toward one shore and the other person paddles toward the opposite shore, they remain in the middle of the lake and go nowhere. More parties create movement in some direction.

[0613162k]

It is ridiculous that we need to rely on comedy shows for the real news.

As JON STEWART said:

"One thing nobody has never said is that Ralph Nader wasn't right. And so we appreciate your service and all those things."

[danthro]

so glad to see this video. i watched that Conan bit on youtube and it was so painful to see. Mr. Nader is right, it was demeaning to the comic, he can do better. I felt demeaned just watching it. But really goes to show that Ralph Nader's run is not about ego, but about advancing the cause of JUSTICE!

Nader for President!

[cooleb]

Go Nader!

[tecpaocelotl]

Right on Nader. This reminds me of the time someone I knew saw a documentary on you and she thought you were incredible. Funny part was they didn't know you were running until I told her. LOL. Everyone spread the message especially to people who never vote.

[iancarpenter]

Nader Gonzalez consciousness Gets my vote.

[AINTMYAMERICA]

ralph is one of the greatest patriots this country has ever had. The dummycrats and rethugnicans keep the masses in a dumbed down, gullible, uneducated bubble. "Lipstick on a pig". lol! Their whole purpose is DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Keep people bickering over nonsense while you and your corporate controllers, war profiteers, prison profiteers, and the globalization freaks laugh all the way to the bank. BOth parties are IMPERIALISTIC. THey want the ORwellien state and so do the media whores.

[rumpelstillskin65]

my senator mitch mcconnell voted yes bailout and he has lost my VOTE here everyone else needs to do the same find out who your congressman and senators are and vote them out get a sign for who is running agianst them put it in your yard and lets vote these crooks out of office and dont forget OBAMA / MCCAIN WHO BOTH VOTED FOR IT ( VOTE THIRD PARTY)(VOTE NADER)

[markdavis115]

Nader has a great sense of humor. And is this not the theater of the absurd? Is the election process not some Kafka story brought to life? Let Nader debate so we have a chance to end this Orwellian nightmare!

[whckzog]

MORE!!! Nader is so awesome.

[onlyonedeb2000]

Go Ralph Nader

[Saaduk92]

The media's just scared of Nader/Gonzalez because they know that these two actually make much more sense than Obama and McCain. The web's a good way to get the work out and it seems to be working since Nader's rating's are going up but there have to be other ways too; we just need to acquire and dominate them before the others do.

[tenagliac]

I think us web literate people who get it are a small minority. Most are Joe Sixpack and don't get it, or have a computer, or care to go to the library to use one (or get trained).

So it's up to US people to people. I know it's a loaded word, but it's evangelism. Getting the word out since the media won't.

Word of mouth at work,on the bus, at church, at parties etc,... We have to do it in this case. It is hard.

Hint: People are getting super sick of those two corporate lapdogs. ;-)

[tenagliac]

I mean, don't have a computer, and don't go to the library.

[couragetolive]

Ralph Nader is an oasis in a desert. He is a drink of water to a thirsty man.

[99shadow99]

amen to that!

[xExUxBxExRx]

People need to spend less time watching TV,and more time reading and surfing the Web.And not just for garbage stuff,I mean information.

[DrZarkloff]

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. Keep em flying.

[StratusBlue]

I can't wait to see that 20 minutes. Please post it Conan!

[StratusBlue]

a great violin indeed !

[votethirdpartynow]

If you truly believe in Justice, Equality and Freedom campaigning for Nader will be one of the best and most civilized things you have ever done in your life.

[maxx1000]

.

The purpose of the media is no longer about informing citizens but instead it's role is to keep up appearances that America is still a Democracy.

Q U E S T I O N:

What kind of a Democracy thrives on excluding ideas and opinions in exchange for ideas and opinions financially driven by mega corporations?

.

[MooseOfReason]

"Because I read the paper."

Hahahahaha.

[xesiria]

because, if you had equal time in the media and in the debates. You would waist the time and money that the few are doing to this country. They have invested allot then to risk stopping the frauds and scams that keeps the lawyers/corporations/bankers in power. If the green party was on there TV channels and you were to wake them up to all this. The Green party would get most of the votes and the sleepy people would wake up and also understand there vote don't matter anyways now or in the past.

[80jvc88]

God, I love Ralph Nader. Who else could endure this crizzap from the population and still be willing to work "for the people"?

Sorry for the double post, it didn't come out right. Here's from Nader's Website:

"Tomorrow, Ralph be moving from TV studio to TV studio, breaking the down the walls of enforced media silence.

Ralph will be on CNBC with John Harwood between 2 and 3 p.m. EST.

He will be on CNN with Rick Sanchez at 3:30 p.m. EST.

He will be on the NewsHour on PBS between 6 and 7 p.m. EST.

And hell be on Fox with Shepherd Smith at 7:30 p.m. EST."

[thediversion77]

straight from Nader's Website:

"Tomorrow [10/14], Ralph be moving from TV studio to TV studio, breaking the down the walls of enforced media silence.

Ralph will be on CNBC with John Harwood between 2 and 3 p.m. EST.

He will be on CNN with Rick Sanchez at 3:30 p.m. EST.

Pure awesomeness

[NsaneSk8er007]

Ralph, 911 was an inside job, you are a good candidate but to be great you must voice your opinion that a growing majority believes this. You have said you support a new 911 investigation. Everything you say is amazing I just hope you stay open minded about 911 :)

[mfitzp]

Thumb him up if you agree, thumb me down if you don't :p
