The Internet Effect Supplemental: Ron Paul note.

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

“He misconstrued my beliefs.” - Ron Paul re: John McCain attacking him at the Republican YouTube debate.

I am amazed at his stickiness. He seems to attract the undercurrent need of prototypical-American freedom in people. He brings up fundamental American issues that effect everyone (and always have), has interesting and different things to say about the junk topics being portrayed as the platform, and can even handle serious modern issues. His statements are all theoretically solid. He interests people that aren’t interested in politics. The dude sounds like Thomas Jefferson.

I’m wondering what kind of insane explosion an internet movement can cause in a real live grassroots campaign.

It’s worth noting I still don’t consider anyone ready to receive votes. I could be convinced though.

Addendum: hahah caught this related thing right after I made this.

A Republican Response: No.

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I started working on the editing of these response videos I made in reference to the YouTube/CNN Republican debates (as previously discussed here) at 6 PM. It is now 3:45 AM. I have uploaded the entirety of the 160-something megs two and a half times now, and I think I’ve finally gotten the goddamn thing to stick (all after a good three-plus hours cutting out myself making fart jokes).

This is essentially a compilation of my thoughts and reactions to the various things asked and said during these debates. Part 1 is here, and part 2 is here.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in film/video and digital media technology. What the hell people? There is no way I should be having this much trouble making this thing; i.e. everyone that regularly makes high-quality videos with the overshoot-and-edit-and-upload model deserves a significantly high five. I don’t really see myself being able to cope with Premiere for that long.

So if you’ve ever wanted to see me actually saying out loud the ridiculous, self-contradicting, political counter-terror-hobbyist rantings I’ve made elsewhere on the internet, here’s your big chance. And hey, I can spew my poisonous propaganda all over the place at the same time.

Winners: Ron Paul, John McCain, Mike Huckabee.

Republican Debate: More Average Lies Per Person!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

You should watch the republican newbtube debates as soon as you can to get informed on how ludicrously out of touch with reality most of these guys are, because tomorrow I will hopefully have edited and uploaded my video response to it.

These aren’t debates. They’re sideshows posing as clown colleges. These guys make Dukakis look good; Americans almost can’t lose. Fuck Romney though:

I mean seriously! Romney is an asshole! And that General probably wasn’t reading a script! (killer last word on that one)

p.s. How the fuck is this an issue? Bill Hicks settled this argument in 1992 after your gay uncle settled it in the 60s.
