@Sociopathicbot : You Sir, are a complete McAnal Patsry! You are just jealous because they have made something great of themselves and you have nothing better to do but sit at home and count the hairs on your balls ya little scrotum sack of rectum candy!!!!

[BABYBIRDISDEBRA]

Why are only the black people in this whole video, "Picking The Tomatoes?" A SEA of White People may be a bit racist? seems weird~odd to to me.

[FernandoPinedaM]

[pochoybilat]

[imy0urpapa]

i want the last 1:01 of my life back.

so cheesy

[gr8light]

If you want to do something to help the farmers, then get them out from under domination by Monsanto. Then you can use some of the money you collect to sue Monsanto (if it is even possible to sue a world dominating politically supported corporate giant) for destroying the worlds food seed and bankrupting farmers.

[recommendedalerts]

This video is fkn domb.

[netstormx]

If you don't want to be a farmer, then don't be. Fixes that issue.

[Bitchimamaz1n]

id rather watch cspan or watch hippos fuk

[BertGriffin88]

Hey Farmaiders, I got a song that's 'ABOUT' where all the BigFood Industries have taken food, as they've stolen it from the Little American crop farmers, cattle ranchers, pig growers, & all the farmer families that fed America. The devastation of the American farmer began in '69 when Nixon&Butz's initiated the Republican ruining of the American Farmer & us Americans. I've posted 155 original songs at my YouTube site(BertGriffin88). Check out 'I Eat The Frankenstein Monster Corn Sweetened Food'.

[Sociopathicbot]

Mellcunt is a fucking cunt and so is Springsteen. They both should die. Eat shit and die liberal cowards.

[fig8slomo]

John Avila Rocks!!!! So does Willie's boy!!!!

Who would have thought some Boingo would make it's way into farm aid???

how funny was that? I watched one of my mentors switching back and forth...

[fig8slomo]

John Avila Rocks!!!! So does Willie's boy!!!!

Dave Matthews is the biggest fucking douche on the planet.

[lukesappington]

[Brochacho77]

fuck crops!

[paulo3809]

You gotta see the Heaven game!

[DanNinjaMan]

82 people are brainless morons.

[bwood098]

@mattrmc19 Let me ask you, have you ever done anything that may have harmed the environment? I would think twice before calling someone a hypocrite. Even if what you say is true, aren't you being a hypocrite by saying that he is wrong for that, when I am sure, as you are also human, that you at one time or another have wronged mother earth? So please think about that, because if i ever see a comment like that again I will personally find you, and take a massive dump into your throat hole!

[mattrmc19]

Fuck Dave Matthews. He's a hypocrite that dumps his tourbus' shit into the Chicago River. What a pathetic, liberal, loser!

[Mehdiv]

@mattrmc19 It's not his fault that he's better than you.

[dbnyke99]

@mattrmc19 It's hard to even begin with how ignorant and stupid this comment is.

[mirahsan2]

Um don't get me wrong I agree with everything in the above video but these donations don't go to large farms that already get subsidies to not grow crops so the economy doesn't get shaky from the govt. right (the subsidies)? The donations do in fact go to small farm businesses and family owned farms correct?

[rahlgren]

@mirahsan2 check out farmaid.org > about us.

FA is about educating the public & raising awareness. Divvying up the donations to family farmers, might get them a dollar or two at best.

Funny how this gets attacked as liberal and anti-American. It is absolutely no different than having a bumper sticker on your car that says "Buy American," except FA is about buying American AND buying locally -- from small family farms in your area. Eating healthier will reduce the cost of healthcare.

[mirahsan2]

@rahlgren Thanks for the reply.

[337123]

fyy

[WooDpenis]

uhh wtf? just hire Mexicans.. they are still very cheap and reliable.. been that way for a while..

[tha1boodge]

@WooDpenis Good one hahaha, South Park is fucking great!!



[ArtStone]

What was the point of this again?

[dreaming4ffr]

[Scitech101]

Family Farms:

Where families are farmed.

I always wondered where my Soylent Green came from.

[flashgirl009]

whts this?

[kamisakea]

<- don't click - seriously

[MrBallinBC]

@kamisakea ok i won't

[YTFailedUs]

I thought farming was a business not a charity... and if I was going to donate to farmers I would be more inclined to donate to farmers in my own country and not their heavily subsidised overseas competitors.

[hipahipacrit1]

@YTFailedUs you're a freaking idiot, it's to help farmers stay alive due to people buying from others . if more people bought from their own, in which ever state they may be from, we wouldn't have this issue. personally i don't care who you are or where you're from, but glad to know you're watching america's broadcasting since you're over sea's. we enjoy you're business have a nice day :)

[YTFailedUs]

@hipahipacrit1 A farm is a business. If the farmer fails to repay the money he had borrowed from a bank then the bank has the right to foreclose. If the farmer did not like it... then he/she should not have signed for the loan.

[rahlgren]

@YTFailedUs That's the idea!

[nbdumont]

why can't I see any of the artists?

[MoviePlaymaker]

nice! subscribe me back? :)

[IdahoViewing]

I would be more inclined to donate and be enthused about this event if I knew that farmer receiving this funding were also refusing government bribery, I mean subsidies.

[TheBornAnnoyed]

..Thank You for uploading this video. John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews are earth warriors! Could do with Willy, tho....but that's just a personal opinion. Keep Going Green !!! . . . . . . Peace. :)

[Zim804]

I work for upstaging setting up farmaid equipment I didn't know what they were and now I do

[jakalmekara]

lol i thought this is a 25 man farm raid :D

[ozwonk]

How do we get to the live broadcast?

[euvi85]

Theres about 9,875,123 other things I would rather do than watch Dave Matthews. Ugh

[MrPat1401]

@euvi85 wow your a hater.

[herdondoozer]

@euvi85 then your clearly a douche

[TheBornAnnoyed]

@herdondoozer ...your reply to euvi85 about clearly being a d**che....LMAO! Thumbs, and hats off to You, herd! :)

[euvi85]

@herdondoozer You are clearly god over all media. Your opinion must rule over all. I am glad a stoner who can't sing and has 1/8th the talent of any other member of his band pleases you. Congratulations. I award you 5 Schrute bucks. Use them as you see fit.

[herdondoozer]

@euvi85 LOL no and I agree Dave is prob the least talented of the entire band but he is no doubt the gel that holds it together. And he is a great musician none the less. You cant expect to make a statement like you did and not have fan feedback then again nor can I call you a douche and not expect to have a response so we are even.

[Telecasterpunk]

@euvi85 He writes all the songs. They'd just be music teachers without him.

[TheBornAnnoyed]

@vinzer72banned ...Maybe becuz you need some enlightenment?!

[cutiex00x]

how do we get to the live thingy?

[TalyaRaphaella]

:) Love this video!

[excelerater]

Wow Mellencamp got old LOL

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@excelerater Uh, hello, 25 years have passed .....

[excelerater]

@BeezAksinJeeves

[kentucky2100]

t he government knows you have to pay their prices if you want it so what choice

do we have.i'm fed up with prices

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@kentucky2100 Grow your own, or write a letter, we still have the cheapest food prices in the world.

[BeezAksinJeeves]

Nowadays, we send da money to dem po po niggras in New Orleans and Hait. Fuck them.

[tysalem94]

@BeezAksinJeeves People like you should not even be allowed to walk on this earth. Have some respect for fellow human beings.

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@tysalem94 tisk tisk tisk such hate speech ! I'll have some respect for my "fellow human beings" when they stop whining and bitching about the type and quatity of the FREE food I donate and hand out to them to help dem po po niggras (80 per cent) who den goes an spenz dere cash on grape flavored cigarillos, a huge chunk on lottery tickets at the service desk, etc.

[amybelowradar]

@BeezAksinJeeves

All yah backwoods white uneducated, cuz' loven', trash should know!

[Yoshifire98]

@amybelowradar That's some of the worst grammar I've ever seen.

[Lrdvltr]

@amybelowradar You're a chimp!

[amybelowradar]

@BeezAksinJeeves

Funny how you misspelled Haiti "Hait! DUH, YA DUMB OR SUMP'EM?

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@amybelowradar Like you misspelled "something" ?

[amybelowradar]

@BeezAksinJeeves

Are you so dumb that you had no clue i was making fun of you? It was suppose to be some of the worse grammar I could come up with at the time. I give up, are you all just clueless?

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@amybelowradar Yes Yes Yes Amy, I am, that's why you're the one, obsessed, having to post back first and find something to bitch about to make yourself feel smart an sheeit, oh, and You forgot to capitalize "I', this tells me that subconsciously you really have low self-esteem and are insecure about yourself, ha ha ! Probably dates and fucks nigs !

[Ranour]

Love Dave Matthews

[totakeke]

<3 dave matthews

[AlbarionRed]

Dave Matthews, wooo!!

[allxtar]

0:08 looks like whezzy waiter haahahha

[krkraz]

Mea culpa. WHy does the humour so oppressed in America? You should laugh at the comments in Washington now.

[ndyt]

if you can't make money farming... then don't do it? Farming is a business... What's next? Microsoft aid?

[BeneSaiZombie]

@ndyt I'm not going to say you're an idiot but what you had to say was very short-sighted. Where the heck do you think food comes from? God, I hope you're under the age of eight.

[drvrprmt]

@ndyt it sounds dickish, but it is true. people shouldnt say we need food. no shit we do but obviously theres too much cuz if it were in demand farmers wouldnt be poor

[supercooltime]

i cam here because in the thumbnail i thought i saw ZOD!

[thefossil1]

We love FARM AID!

[BehindThePig]

I came here because i thought the guy looked like Wheezy

[jakedizzle]

Dude is this a joke? Take the military industrial complex out and stop wasting money creating war machines. We already have a huge stockpile of weapons we don't use. Spend that money on bettering our country. This is ridiculously stupid and makes America look weak.

Just imagine if every household had a garden. Every man, woman and child would be fed. No need to let people suffer because they don't have a job with this horrid economy. People taking care of each other is what it's all about.

[nschenk]

@jakedizzle OMG so, so true! Dig up your lawns and plant vegetable gardens people! Let that water actually do some good! Pretty sweet deal; water in, food out!

I agree... here in the US we could have a pretty extensive barter system completely outside the traditional currency system. Money is not always needed to get the job done.

[gr8light]

@nschenk Good suggestion, I have thought that too.

[rahlgren]

FarmAid.org: "FA works w/ local, regional & national organizations to promote fair farm policies & grassroots organizing campaigns...to defend & bolster family farm-centered agriculture. We've worked...with farmers to protest factory farms & inform farmers & eaters about issues like genetically modified food & growth hormones. By strenghtening the[ir] voices..., FA stands up for the most resourceful, heroic Americans—family farmers who work the land."

[Rightsideup]

In 25 yrs Farm Aid has raised only 37 million. That's not even 2 million a year. If these VERY wealthy musicians actually put THEIR money where their cause is, they would be doing much better. All it would take is half a million from each musician, and they could have matched that 37 million in 5 yrs. Shit, Mellencamp spends that alone on hair gel and cigs a week!

[rahlgren]

@Rightsideup How do you know that they don't donate money?

[Rightsideup]

@rahlgren The fact they are raising less than 2million a year is pretty weak if they are using their own money! It's not a drop in the bucket as to what needs raised. Then again, with the ever growing sense of entitlement that we Americans are so quick to embrace, I can see why donations are so low. However, my old man taught me a valuable lesson as a kid. If your job isn't making you money, do something else that does!

[OcaZzo]

I AINT GIVING SHIT TO YOU

[BeezAksinJeeves]

@OcaZzo Then don't eat.

[illectrikSkope]

Hey we want you to watch this to help out the world and stuff, but one thing....you gotta use direct tv to watch it...sorry bro.

[pufmama]

can you please check which farms are getting assistance. Conklin Dairy in Ohio broke calves legs just for "fun". They are filmed abusing cows and calves. They still in buisness in Ohio. Cruel practices can be found all over.

[clray123]

@QuantumQuacks Well, parts of the great US of A are very close to an impoverished African nation. Actually, this is a fine example of a long-standing principle in American politics - first rob the people, then hand out alms and paint yourself charitable (you mostly used to rob foreign nations, but these days you apply the same methods to your own citizens)

[weakestlink41]

@clray123 I live about 3 hours away from the poorest part of the country and it is absolutely nothing like an impoverished african nation. and who did the US rob?

[clray123]

@weakestlink41 You're right that the rural poverty is less of an issue because you have the biggest poverty problems in your big cities. Who did US rob? Most Latin American nations (read up on U.S. meddling in Argentina, for example). Iraq, if you need a more recent case.

[clray123]

@weakestlink41 Also, if you need examples of the domestic robbery, look at the rising U.S. debt. Either future generations are going to be forced to pay it off (robbery through taxes) or (more likely) you are going to shove it off on other nations (e.g. default on your debts through inflation, so that other countries don't get whatever you borrowed and have to rob their citizens through taxes).

[weakestlink41]

@clray123 oooohhhhh gotcha. ya taxes are gonna suck....but i wouldnt really care if we defaulted to china, we'll call it even since they attacked us in korea hahahah

[sniffum35]

@clray123 Exactly what parts of the US are you referring to?  My guess is, you've never been to Africa.

[WaywardBill]

Hemp Can Save The Planet...So Plant It Already...!!!
