NH: "Nobody" barred from ballot (Keene New Hampshire)

[MrRaptur3]

Ok enough with the men in black villain look for the intros...

[BigDirtyBasterd]

You are just simply a jackass! If you really wanted to get voted in off of an election you would of not gone in acting like a total shumk! Stop acting like a child and run for an office! Otherwise you have no cause and are just giving people a hard time. You do not take yourself seriously, and there for are a menace and thats why you keep getting arrested! Please stop fucking around and do it right!

[libertarianjury]

The clock is ticking on those 5 years LOL...

[Stink808]

I guess Ian should try again after 5 years when he can use the name, "nobody" or at least go through the process of legally changing your name to that. It would be hilarious if you could pull it off.

[chaserehn]

I LOVE NH!!!! Even the bureaucrats seem like friendly nice grandparent.

[Estate17]

ya Friendly nice Grandparents that will take your house lol

[jcfan42]

Interesting how they accomodated with the table.

Perhaps Ian Freeman's visit was a little overboard if it was serious.

[joey75220]

Ok, why does he have to wear the Guy Fawkes mask like the members of

"Anonymous"?! Is he a member of that group?

[lordmetroid]

It seems like you don't get what anonymous is.

[joey75220]

oK, since you THINK I don't get what anonymous is, please explain it to me?!

[HHODork]

have your last name changed to Nobody

[PotheadPundit]

why not just run under your real name, and then run the campaign something like. "A vote for Ian is a vote for Nobody." If you want to be a thorn in the side of those truly in power this wouls make them much more annoyed. These people are just following protocol.

[JSenator06]

part 3( last part I promise). should not be used..? Do we really want to go around murdering those we disagree with..? I certainly don't. Also I think a difference in kind can be equated between taking up arms to defend one's self (family, life, property, community, and the innocent), and taking up arms to murder just to make a "political statement"!~ DaveRidley frequently talks for peaceful protest and against violence as well..

[JSenator06]

part 2: Which isn't true.

Also this movie was very anti-Chrisitan, and since I know that Christ came to "set the captives free", and loves all (even those who are still sinners). The movie's take on Christianity is all wrong.  Christians do not want to kill gays, we may disagree with them, and know that their behavior is wrong, but I do not treat them as less than human!

Also yes, while it is admirable to stand against Totalitarianism. The tactics of terror/murder certainly should not b

[JSenator06]

I am going to reply to everyone (at once)that replied to me: V was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I dont like tyranny/totalitarianism as much as the next guy (however instead of looking at the true roots of totalitarism and it's history in the 20th C. (which has primarily originated on the left- Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro, Chavez, etc..(not that there aren't a few who were "right"), this author portrays the Tyrant as "Conservative" with ideology being the prime reas

[rx4pain1]

Adhere to the concept of the First 1000.  Run and vote for viable candidates. Attempting to make a mockery of the process is a waste of everyone's time...as we've just seen.

[comradepinko]

"I don't think there is a process to withdraw"

What an idiot. There isn't an established legal process for her taking a dump, but that doesn't mean she has to lobby the state for the right to poop.

[travisbickkle]

"I'm just dealing with Ian, I'm sorry" hahaha she'll deal with you on another day dave

[klaptongroovemaster]

Fucking bureaucrats. They are so full of shit. If there was or wasn't a statute, they'd make one up.

They are just afraid that if "Nobody" appeared on the ballot that "Nobody" would WIN. And what would that say about the public's opinion of government shitheads like them?

We The People do not need these assholes.

[p00lman]

Why the hell would the people who value this political process want someone to come in to make a mockery of it?

They're adults and this guy is a fucking child.

[klaptongroovemaster]

They're not "adults" they are parasites who make their living from money stolen from people who work for a living.

[p00lman]

Except that stealing is illegal and taxes are legal (and universal), so your description doesn't fit at all.

Next.

[watcher8o]

At first I thought this was just a prank... I get what he's trying to do, but isn't there a way to get the ballot changed to add a "None of the above" option, rather than trying to register as "Nobody"?

[p00lman]

I don't think there's an anarchy ballot.

[watcher8o]

Saying you don't want any of the jerks running for dogcatcher is anarchy? You're such a bad troll... I shouldn't be feeding you.

[p00lman]

Throwing out meaningless labels is more trollish than actually engaging in debate and discussion, which is what I'm doing.

[p00lman]

Why don't these stupid free staters get a job? Why do they have so much time to make fools of themselves and annoy others to make themselves feel good?

[VANVALIS]

This is sad. Why didn't he just run as himself to try to actualy get elected and make a change instead of acting like a teenager? Please tell me what is accomplished here?

[comradepinko]

Because he was running for the elimination of the office. He would not have shown up to do any job or collect any pay.

[VANVALIS]

Why the hell did he take the mask off? What is the point if he gives into the first thing they ask?

[p00lman]

Because free staters have no spine when it comes to actual debate.

[MooseOfReason]

So, "under an overpass" would be acceptable, but if you have a house, they need an address.

[phnixlady]

You are something. I cant stand how they act like they are talking to a little child or psyche patient.

[p00lman]

That's because they are.

[newguy33X]

@phnixlady I think 99% of people would act like they did. The guy DID seem like a child or a psych patient. "I want to wear a mask and for you to go by my self-made nickname". Most people would have rolled their eyes and just left.

[edmasterson]

its all bullshit this is proof

[MutantBamHammer]

LONG LIVE FREEMAN

[BOBSMOKETV]

The dude standing up is so tense.lol

[stracinsrt4]

I really wish I had the means to move there with you guys. I would be right there with you.

[ed2276]

The first thing the clerk (a.k.a. petty bureaucrat) does when she comes out is to order, "Off with the mask." Obviously, she knows who Ian is and simply wants to assert some kind of authority over him. She chooses an irrelevancy, the mask issue, to make herself feel more powerful and in control, as she gets Ian to comply with her authoritarian command.

Ian should have insisted that he would keep the mask on, no matter how politely the clerk demanded that he remove it.

[ZamatoElite]

ROFL. You guys crack me up.

I would love to move to Keene and troll the local Government myself.

[nilesmc]

troll?

[glennwih]

Wow. I wouldn't want to work for the govt of Keene. You guys are dicks; I mean that in a nice way that you are political active and I support your stances.

[stracinsrt4]

If keeping the gov on their toes and being in their faces at every corners counts as being a dick then sign me up. It's the people we work for, not the gov.

[p00lman]

Except you're not pissing off "the government," you're pissing off individuals who are legally bound by the rules of their jobs.

It's like flipping off a cop for enforcing the law. It's not like that cop wrote the law himself.

It's just idiocy.

[otmshankshank]

if they enforce the law they agree with it be default.

[p00lman]

By they can't change it. Pissing them off doesn't solve a thing, other than increase your chances of getting in trouble.

[otmshankshank]

what is your solution?

[p00lman]

Run for office on a real platform. Go into politics in some form in order to effect real change.

[Anothercoilgun]

2 dozen well placed grenades to make real change.

[p00lman]

You are fucking insane.

[glenisah]

Legally change your name to Ian Nobody, besides "Mr. Nobody sounds better". I would like to see them try to deny you using your legal name.

Just a thought

[JSenator06]

When I was a Child I had an imaginary friend known as "Mr. Nobody", of course that was when I was 5, and I haven't talked to him in 24 or so years!..

[woodlandcammo27]

This was informative!

[MagnusIan]

He could say his nickname is just "Guy." xD

[sirinferno]

he should pick a better mask

[darkreign16]

The Guy Fawkes mask is perfect.

[sirinferno]

really isn't

[darkreign16]

You just don't know what it stands for. It fits just right for what Ian stands for.

[p00lman]

No, it's become meaningless after that stupid V movie.

[JSenator06]

That stupid V movie was just an anti-Christian, anti-Conservative piece of junk as far as I am concerned! HATED IT!

I agree, while I likely would agree with many of Ian Freeman's goals, his tactics sometimes do seem to be counter-productive, IMO.

[DeraJa]

I thought anti-Christian/anti-conservati­ve was a good thing. What about the violent tactics used by V?

[p00lman]

I don't recall the movie being anti-Christian, and not especially anti-conservative. It's anarchist.

But it was also scripted by the Wachowskis, who have all the insight and artistic sensibilities of two freshman frat boys.

[watcher8o]

It was showing the degradation of the system and how perverse some "Christians" can be. It had a strong pro-gay bent... I dunno if I'd say it was anti-Christian (some aspects could be interpreted that way, I guess), but it was more anti-Fascist than anything else.

[p00lman]

How was the movie "pro-gay" and what does "pro-gay" mean? You mean promoting LGBT rights?

[ed2276]

Anti-Christian? Anti-Conservative? Did you even see the movie?

V was anti-tyranny, anti-criminal , anti-mindless submission to authoritarian government (a.k.a. sheeplism).

[sirinferno]

what, bad movies and anti-scientology protests?

[darkreign16]

Guy Fawkes masks existed long before the V for Vendetta movie.

He's a real person.

[sirinferno]

great, but that mask is now a genericized trademark for the above things

[stopsnoozin]

he was a jesuit terrorist

[Dewdaahman]

does this woman have the authority to determine what is and what is not a nickname..? if I were called "Freddie" by 10 people in one hour in front of this woman and my name is Peter, is my nickname Freddie..? Nicknames are found on ballots and I may just move to Keene and vote for Peter, oops, I meant "Nobody.." I think from what I am gathering that " Nobody is better than the people in office now.."

[pandyne]

I'm surprised how accommodating they were. It's kind of silly considering if they just allowed the cameras in, like before, they wouldn't need to be.

[cmstyz]

Masturbation.

[rataMacue22]

What is Ian trying to accomplish here?

(Besides busting their balls.)
