Crisis changes spectrum of political debate

[trakkaton]

Always remember that it is a crisis of a big fraud system, not one of the economy. Economy means: Someone bakes bread, someone else eats it. Banksters and crooks have never EVER been productive in any way. They bake no bread, they make up virtual fraud systems. We can do without them. We just have to DO it without them.

Still calling Ron Paul an "isolationist" I see. When will you people get it?

[prosvjeta]

those who acuse ron paul to be an isolationist have made the U.S more isolated to the world then they were ever before in the history!

[rollsthepaul]

It is does not matter what is attempted to be done. Our systems have become self detemining and completely out of control. What has been fomented, is unstoppable. No person or idea has much meaning now. It really appears that we will crash and burn, then whoever is left will start over. The forces in motion have a life of there own. Enjoy your interesting times.

Carlyle Group has just mentioned that we are in deeeeeeeep shitttt!!!!!!!!!! NOW FREE PUERTO RICO! AND HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McOath]

new ideologies? absolutely right! also lesser of two evils is still evil. is Obama a racial change for president, yes "greatbroad" but please look beyond the man's skin colour and see that he's just like all the others. Imperialist and coroprate owned.

[PeterSodhi]

How the fuk is this real news different from global media when all they have is Global Media journalists presenting?

[Dedhedted71]

AMEN!! I have said for some time now that this network is just an internet version of the same propaganda laced media that has betrayed our country. Its all just a bunch of biased, opinions, coming from a bunch of wannabe journalists.

[blackiron60]

Clearly what we need is a new worldview and not the simple recycling of tired past ideas. We are entering a watershed moment in history and new ideologies are bound to emerge.

[greatbroad]

Contrary - to the conclusive opinion "Obama lacks inspirational qualities" expressed at the end of this tape: I say Woodrow Wilson opened the floodgates of racial hatred toward Blacks with his "Birth of a Nation" support and co-authorship. Since 1915 this piece of dung has spread and sickened the body politic with fear of racial differences.

In my opinion it is a justifiable "Landmark" for a person who is Black to occupy the WH as it's Master, not it's Servant.

[trakkaton]

Obama isn't black.

[greatbroad]

It doesn't matter if his mother was not Black. His father was and the label sticks in the U.S. It isn't what I say - read the paper. They all call Obama Black, but some in the South call him Muslim.

[trakkaton]

So if they label him "communist" or "progressive" or "liberal" or "islamic" or "asian" or "green" or "purple with yellow dots" you'd call him the same, conforming with the sheeple?

[greatbroad]

Communication is easier when you agree on the same nouns, etc. It is easier for me go along with the Black thing. I am a woman and have more 'female' baggage than 'Black' baggage. However, I will say I have been published in the local papers since about 2002 discussing Obama, and not necessarily in a negative way. You see, I am from Illinois.

Politics/Election is about how to fool the fools, a job which honest genius don't want to do.

DREAM CHANGE and its 'WAKING OUR WORLD' Movement:

Inspire Earth-Honoring Changes in Consciousness

Utilize Indigenous Wisdom to Effect Social and Environmental Change

Conserve Forests and Preserve Traditional Cultures and Values

Encourage Sustainable Ways of Living

[bbburton]

Compare Reagan's rhetoric from the time he was the president of the Screen Actors Guild until he became gov of CA. He was really a constitutionalist and libertarian; small gov with limited powers, civil liberties, freedom, and lower taxes. He dropped all of that when he became President. He burned all of us with a police state at home and a foreign policy of intervention.

[dylanofwomen]

listen to his socialized medicine record from the fifties...and you forgot the neo-cons

[lighthammar]

maybe Saltin should have brought in his kid. The globe and mail is bullshit propaganda.

[bas058]

We need a new democratic-republican party--small "d", small "r". All Patriotic, honest Americans of all backgrounds need to come together to fight off the corporatist coup. There is a reason Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are now giving interviews togethers. Honest differences can be debated and good policy can be reached. But first we have to end Corporate Personhood and win back our Democratic Republican form of government.

[Plutonwolf]

"But first we have to end Corporate Personhood and win back our Democratic Republican form of government" So very true! The supreme court justices names who made that ruling should be synonymous with Judas and Benedict Arnold.

Add to that list the justices who ruled money equals speech. Too blatant for words.

[momerath42]

I liked this interview segment *much* more than most of the other recent ones.

[alleynz]

I agree with the last comments in the video. The last thing the world needs right now is a gun slinging "Maverick" in the white house.

[minstral2]

Well done. Peace to the World.

[kareno18]

this isn't a great news article... the interviewer seem to have more knowledge than the columnist

[browncoatnola]

finally some actual discussion.

Obama isn't all that special

****

Compared to the absolute nutcases and trash the GOP has offered lately, Obama's amazing!

[WOLF333999]

Lover of pigs ;-) Yes, you're right: compared to McCain, Obama is amazing. Actually, McCain is pretty amazing, too, but in a different way: he's the king of hubris, lies, and generally foul behavior. (People have warned me that anti-McCain comments are bound to attract easily offended people, but I'm new at this YouTube posting, and I need to find this out myself.)

[YuriKenobi]

If they watched the real news, they won't support McCain in the first place. Either way, people who are offended by the truth should just get outta here.

[bas058]

Please, for the love of God, quit that kind of stupid binary, reactionary thinking. I agree that Obama is preferable to McCain, but there is nothing "amazing" about him. He has made his commitment to the Corporatist agenda very clear: An Imperial Foreign Policy and energy policies dictated by the oil companies. Wake Up. If you are smart enough to be here watching this video, you are too smart to buy the hype.

[WOLF333999]

Just about any interview that mentions Ron Paul is bound to be interesting for one reason or other, and this time proved no difference. Excellent interview. Always good to hear from people who know that Obama isn't all that special. Sure he can talk. Sure he's intelligent; but all he does is spew out some standard stuff about hope, change, working together, while liberally sprinkling in references to WWIII, which he and McCain are so desperate to unleash upon this world.

[TVParkdale]

I don't understand what is wrong with looking at *all* countries and their policies, what works, what doesn't, what's possible and what's humane and making decisions based on past experience? Why do we have to polarize and always wind up with 3rd rate policies?

[TVParkdale]

I wouldn't say those alternative voices aren't speaking--I'd say they are "unheard".

[quagles]

Gotta love an election where you vote for someone cuz they´re "less likely to blow the world up".

[truthspeaker969]

"Gotta love an election where you vote for someone cuz they´re "less likely to blow the world up"."

but it´s the only advantage if Obama wins the elections that I can see...

[doobtribe]

Good discussion, specially at the end, simple statement on what these elections really come down to.

[Plutonwolf]

I would hate to see what kind of deviltry the right would try to promulgate if all the election coverage and pressure therefrom was not present.I think we would have gotten more crap like the 800 billion bail out/gift.

[Gilliatt83]

Crisis changes spectrum of political debate.... Maybe
