Anti-Thomas Jefferson Negative Political Spot (1800)

A parody of a TV political attack ad, circa 1800, as the John Adams campaign smears Thomas Jefferson for being too French.

I love how ignorant you liberals and conservatives are. Your both wrong... slyfoxx7, among others... Congradulations, all politicians are evil and the days of Lincoln and Jefferson are fucking over! This video is about Thomas Jefferson... Yet alot of people are having a democrat vs. republican pissing contest instead of discussing the videos subject matter. It's amazing how many of you sheep really exist! Who's blind loyalty is to the sheep herder, who stands to profit from your wool.

Adams would never run such an ad! Malarkey!

Oh, and I wish Jefferson was my father.

FLAME WAR!!!

There is nothing wrong with it. Absolutely nothing. Its just a scam to get more money for the government. If you can name someone that died because they didn't have health care please let me know.

WOW? You are serious, huh? Or are you part the right wing crowd that is proud of their ignorance and simple minded approach to a complex world?

Did George "W" Bush not teach anything about simple mindedness and approaching complex problems with ignorant ideas?

If you honestly think there is nothing wrong with the health care system in America then what else can I say...Good Luck!

[Lebista]

Where did it get us? Seriously? What did he do that is so bad? Destroy Capitalism? The Donkeys are the ones who want a public option so they can control the Insurance Industry. What is the problem with health care? It only became a problem when someone said it was a problem thats what sucks about our society. Things become problems when one deems it a problem.

Brilliant vid.

Flippant redistribution and majority abuse you just described the last 8 years to a tee. The stunning thing is the outright blindness of the right to see their own incredible faults. You think your ideology surpasses human nature. You are fools of the highest order and hopefully your ideology has been put on the scrapheap of history. Shame on you and your ilk, to hell with you if you admit none.

[SkyDaddy7]

LOL! The GOP did a fine job rubberstamping all of Bush's agenda and look where that got us...I voted for Bush & my GOP reps twice and I will NEVER make that mistake again!

The GOP needs to redefine itself! Right now it is the party that destroyed Capitalism and spreads hate. The GOP needs to get Jesus out of politics and admit the horrific mistakes of the past and maybe I can begin to respect them. Until then I want nothing to do with the broken party of the past!
