Roseanne Barr, Peace and Freedom Party, Presidential Candidate and 9/11 Truther.

Doubts about ‘Official 9/11 Story’.

After Counterpunch the whackyisation of the American left proceeds apace.

Roseanne says, “Women and people of color, rather than letting us lead by ourselves. Same old paternalistic crap. Step down, hippie brothers, your day has gone. 

Bob Dylan says: “your old road is rapidly fading-please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand, for the times they are a’changin’!”

 

Right on!

 

Others comment,

The 2012 Presidential Election just got a lot, well…louder.

Noted actress/comedian/harridan Roseanne Barr has tossed her wig into the race on the Peace and Freedom Party’s ticket.

Roseanne announced her bid for the White House last year on The Tonight Show and originally intended to run under the Green Party, but lost to Dr. Jill Stein last month. Joining Barr on the ballot is Vice Presidential nominee Cindy Sheehan, mother of Iraq war veteran Casey Sheehan.

“The American people are sick and tired of this ‘lesser evil’ garbage they get fed every election year,” Barr said in a statement. “Both the Democrats and the Republicans do the same evils once they’re in office. I’m here to tell the voters: if you want to tell the government and the two domineering parties that you’re sick and tired of all their evil, register in the Peace and Freedom Party and vote for me and Cindy.”

From Raising the Barr.

Hat-tips to Leftist Transpotters all.

The Peace and Freedom Party says it’s ” an open, multi-tendency, movement-oriented socialist party. We are united in our common commitment to socialism, democracy, feminism and unionism and our common opposition to capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism and elitism.”

We are sure that there are many good people involved – though perhaps “unionism” would not go down well on the UK left.  Background – Here. Roseanne lost the ballot to get on the Green Party (US) ticket, and there’s no doubt lots to say about all that. As well as about her candidacy. In the past she has said that her campaigning, “mixes attention to economics, personal health and meditation.” She has also “evoked tikkun olam in her support of bringing women into politics and religion” (or so Wikipedia says, so it must be true).

But what we are interested in is this:

9/11 Truth News reports,

Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr has published Jon Gold’s encyclopedic 9/11 research article The Facts Speak For Themselves on the front page of her Roseanne World blog. Under the headline “brilliant analysis, Jon Gold“, Roseanne urged her fans: PLEASE READ THIS!

Two days ago, Barr posted a blog entitled “people are saying that 9-11 was an inside bush job“, which led to a lively discussion in which she expressed her serious doubts about the official 9/11 story and invited researcher Gold onto her radio show as a guest.

For more information see Roseanne’s Campaign Web Site.

Her running-mate is Cindy Sheehan.

Power to the People!
