Kickin' it Gravel Style

[Whoo69]

Mike Gravel was a true Democrat, a man with spine and courage. The Democratic voters were scared of being told the truth, rather than just what they wanted to hear from a charmer like Barack Obama. Gravel stared the establishment in the face and said "Fuck you!" Gravel's words made so much sense in the debates, and they were common sense. He was the only one with the courage to ask why stupidity like the War on Terror is necessary. He even mentioned the MI-complex. Gravel '12!

[gobbledygookie]

That was great, this clip should've had 1000000+ views by now

[ale646]

Yeah, we better wake up and see that Gravel is the only person that really can lead the united states.

[wurlybird9]

NPR has just lost another listener.

[eddyecho]

Ahh, mike gravel looks like such a nice guy... especally compared to that bitch that kicked you out. Gravel is not only the smartest candidate but he is also the most compassionate candidate. This is the type of guy i want running our country.

I can empathize with your crew getting booted by some heavy handed security/organizer treatment, but try to take a look at it from their viewpoint for a second. The biggest reason why citizen journalists aren't given access at a lot of these high profile events is for "security" (the typical excuse). But the real reason is to prevent what they really fear, 10,000 people like yourself showing up with a camera and a mike at all the debates. Sayyy.....

[zenbeer]

But anyway, this is the first video I've ever seen by you, and I'm trying to figure out if your interviews at these events are just a big joke to you or of this is on the level? (shrugs) Cheers, I applaud your bravery if nothing else. -zen

If America was a true democracy, you should have been able to film in there.

[oldhacks]

How is this spam? this is extremely relevant to this video...wtf?

[oldhacks]

its kinda strange that they call themselves "national PUBLIC radio" but yet won't allow the PUBLIC in to talk with the candidates...

[cmnsense]

You did a nice job with this but I have a question. Isn't NPR public funded proramming? They should NOT be involved w/reporting politics. Stick to classical music and brief 3 min. stints on reporting the news.

[oldhacks]

this is like "Roger and Me" but much more important. Screw Roger Smith what about meeting the president? Secret Service. yea our whole government is a Secret Service.

Ni4d dot us VOTE FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE!

[CitizenKate2007]

Maybe we got this treatment because she was with the Bush Cheney campaign.

[ambientdiscord]

so wait they let camera crews in as long as they were filming clinton or obama?

[CitizenKate2007]

We don't know if there were other crews like us in attendance.

[uglybutstupid]

This video made me cry, no joke. It makes me think, "What happened? What happened to our democracy?" Why are candidates being silenced? First Gravel, & now Kucinich. Why must the MSM continue to TELL us who we can hear speak, & who we should vote for? Why are most debates only available to those that can afford cable TV? Shouldn't We the People be able to hear ALL the candidates at all the debates, & shouldn't everybody be able to see them? After all, we all have the right to vote, right?

[Naturyl]

Mike is a badass. Go Gravel, keep bringing the heat to the Democratic candidates. It's good for the nation.

[Nestalgica]

Oh man Kate... that was awesome. Loved the voice-over. :D

"Shouldn't there just be one rule? Be nice to people...? And... hug them...?"

[PersonalJesus348]

Get that shit out of here. He doesn't deserve to be senator let alone president. Mike Gravel brought leadership to end Vietnam AS SENATOR.

Ron Paul? And Ron Paul has spent more time in the senate.

[lazydogs]

LOL, very good Katie. YOU should have filibustered the CIA demands.

[photofu]

nice...mike gravel has my vote...thanx...

[gmfutube]

Thank You!

Please share the word about Gravel & donate a few bucks Jan 1.

[Yakovich]

I would have turned the camera off by wrapping it around her prada encrusted face. But I doubt if that would have furthered your cause. (How cold did you look outside!)

[rjshmo]

Great Video

[MrBubbles95]

GTFO my Gravel, 'k?

[johndownunder]

Corporate Censorship that would'nt have anything to do with Military Industrial Corporations like General Electric owning NBC MSNBC AND OTHERS WOULD IT.They keep the honest politicians shut out and daily broadcast stories promoting fear of terrorisim so they can keep wars going and make billions off human suffering.Vote Mike and cut their blood profits to ZERO.

[cormex55]

HA HA HA... that's a great joke Man... pretty funny!...you.. ARE joking... aren't you?

[kyeot]

Nice video Kate, and thanks for the coverage of Gravel at the NPR debate, as long as theres people like you around, its makes our fight against corperate censorship and work towards the Gravel campaign worth it.

[ChannelMikeG]

Friends, go to techcrunch[DOT]com and vote for Sen. Gravel. One vote per person.

Gravel for President !!!!Peace.

[uterfan]

techchrunch has a couple of errors, they didn't mention the national initiative in the "other" section for example. also the second link on on the Mike Gravel fact sheet leads to McCain's page!

please everyone, go there complain!

[ChannelMikeG]

The corporate media has done such a great job in dumbing down and brainwashing, just plain old common sense is now rocket science.

Another thing I don't understand is RP supporters don't seem to know that Sen. Gravel has nothing in common with him and all you have to do is to look a little closer.

[cormex55]

I guess 'Freedom of the Press' now means 'Freedom of the Corporate Press'

I'm not surprised since 'Freedom of Speech' is now 'Free Speech Zones"

How about 'Freedom of Privacy' is now 'Freedom to Monitor without warrant'

Still think we live in a 'FREE' country? Yeah...Freedom for Sale to the highest bidder ... and people still think everything is hunkie-dorrie.

[oldhacks]

without a natinal initiative we are not really a democracy. and we never have been. Its been a republican dictatorship for 220 years.

[cormex55]

Hey Kate... are you still voting for Obama? Because he gave the nod to CORPORATE CENSORSHIP, and if you listen carfull... he never details his goals... it's always 'glittering generality' that sounds pretty... but guess what? The Country is in the shits, and when someone speaks the truth, like Gravel, people can't HANDEL IT! It's sick and pathetic the state of denial the country is in.... Really...

If you still won't change your vote, at least vote for Gravel's NI4D(.)com

[cormex55]

That Bitch that kick Kate out is such a fucking TOOL!! Does he have any idea that she is ruining democracy? Does she have the concept of a 'Free Press'? Canada is REALLY starting to look good to me maybe Australia... ah fuck it, I'm taking a boat back to Cayman...

[gmfutube]

I want to know what gives NPR to tell the staff of any candidate "you're not welcome here"

WTF is this?

Doesn't National Public Radio recieved Public MONEY?

[PeaceCzar]

I wonder the same thing. I'd like to hear more about that.

[cormex55]

If the Government is corrupt... there is no other CHOICE but to take back the power 'we the people' GAVE them!

A corrupt Government does not have the right to exists! It's our DUTY to protect the country from Enemies Domestic... Let's END this God forsaken system!

VOTE FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY

ni4d(.)us

[cormex55]

ATTENTION CITIZENS!!!!!

It's time for things to change!

Regardless of who you are voting for... go to

NI4D(.)com

vote for the national initiative !!

We need TRUE democracy!! I can't recall when this country turned into a 'Police State' with arbitrary law that are not written ANYWHERE!! But this NEEDS to CHANGE! We cannot let this continue!

[ChannelMikeG]

Thanks for the video, CitizenKate2007.

Bless your soul.

Gravel is the corporate nightmare. That's the reason why they invent laughable requirements tailored to keep Big Mike out. Let's give them a good fight. Gravel for President !!!Peace.

[cormex55]

WHAT?!?! They kick out Gravel's 'staff'?? Those ASSHOLES!!! This is a damned OUTRAGE!! We are living in a healthly Fascist Country!!

I'm am SO DAMN happy I don't live on the mainland... this is making me feel sick inside...

[cormex55]

What!? Gravel is always getting all the chicks!
