These advertisements for Rick Barber, who is a Teabagger campaigning to represent Alabama in Congress, look like something made up by the Onion or a skit on Saturday Night Live.
But amazingly they are not!
Go ahead and take a look and then I dare you to take this guy seriously.
Yikes, that was a very professional and well executed production. His hair line is migrating to the back of his head, but he's strong, well spoken and chock full of righteous conviction.
ReplyDeleteWe don't experience morning in America anymore? "He" can't betray Veterans?
Que the inciteful noun, anyone will work for a GOP or Tea Party candidate:
JOIN OUR ARMY OF VOTERS / Patriots / Christians / Taxpayers / Gun Owners / Freedom Lovers / Real Americans / Veterans / Big Truck Owners / Exceptional Americans / Unapologetics
I am trying to pick up my jaw from the floor - unsuccessfully. I sincerely hope this is an 'Onion' piece!
ReplyDeleteYou know, the funniest and oddest thing about that ad is the claims about slavery. Didn't Alabama fight to KEEP slavery? In my history books - non-Texas variety - they sure did. Why is this asshole saying the opposite?
ReplyDeleteWhen is the Alabama primary?
Sarah talks with Ronnie every day... whats the big deal here?
ReplyDeleteWhat?????
ReplyDeleteI would like to know who is funding this jerk. Must be someone or some organization with deep, deep pockets to produce these commercials. Or is he wealthy himself? People need to start asking questions before they get too enamored of him. He fits Alabama or Mississippi. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that the KKK is behind him.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it the House of Representatives gets so many kooks? Glad they have to run every two years.
We have to take this guy, and others like him, seriously only as much as others really take him seriously. Beyond that, he is a joke.
ReplyDeleteActually, this guy scares me. I can see this approach appealing to a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteHe claims taxation as a form of slavery but does not recognize that taxes pay for streets, city councils, the military, county hospitals, medical research, etc. And of course there is the sheer idiocy of a Southern Tea Bagger allying himself with the man who fought and defeated his own state, because his own state supported slavery.
ReplyDeleteI assume that is why he alludes to the Whiskey Rebellion as a justification for taxation since it was a war, sort of, fought by the US against US citizens, but does not allude to the revolution that created the US as a reason to levy taxes since the new US Gov had no money to pay debts or to defend its borders or to enforce its own laws.
But other than being 95% factually innacurate these ads are reeeel impressive.
Did you see the quick slides of concentration camps? This man is a disgusting pool of nastiness.
ReplyDeleteOh, man, what is so sad here, is I can just FEEL how the people in that region, will just eat this crap UP.
ReplyDeleteThat invokes a memory of reading an article about a visiting Soviet minister of their propaganda department, who caused huge embarrassment by asking the American guiding them on the tour of the U.S., just HOW the Americans are able to get the general populace, to all think exactly alike.
I sure wish this was from the onion. that's some scary shit.
ReplyDeletewar, war, war, people!!!!! why is it that the proudly ignorant are obsessed with war? love them some war? everything has to be about war and equating the current times with some f-ing war. these people are nuts.
The people behind him? Are they pretending to be Zombies? I sees dead Presidents. Here in Ma we help people like that not vote them in. ;-0
