By the way: I just stumbled on to this anti-Fed rap song by a guy named Tahir Jahi. He’s not an Austrian — more of a Aaron Russo type — but I’m telling you, there is a great potential for appealing to the “hip hop community” on the issues of anti-Fed, revisionist history, individualism, laissez-faire capitalist entrepreneurialism, hardcore anti-statism, etc.

and of the McKinney campaign as a whole.

Proves my point.

And plus, Nader IS running.

I have criticisms of Clemente as VP, and of the McKinney campaign as a whole.

I would consider myself as part of the constituency that they want to win over, but I’ve seen enough to say that even if Nader were not running this year, I would not cast a vote for McKinney/Clemente.

Regardless, the only people who seem to be criticizing Clemente as a VP candidate are people who had no chance of voting Green anyway. It was a great choice, imo.

Maybe I’m the deaf one, then.

Caslte has done about 6 radio interviews over the past week and is speaking at the Denver Immigration Rally this week. He has spoken at at least two other events prior to that.

How do you figure Castle is a deaf mute?

Whatever it is, it’s better than a scamdicapper or a deaf mute (no offense to the real deaf mutes out there).

WTF is a hip-hop activist?

Clemente is a joke. Though at this point, little worse than Wayne Allan Root I suppose. Surely, third parties can start finding two serious people who would actually be qualified to be Vice President if elected. Is that so much to ask?

Not a black nationalist (neither is Rosa Clemente who is not solely black) or a hip-hop activist, and this ticket appeals to me. I certainly like Rosa Clemente more than deaf-mute Darrell Castle!

For the sake of appealing to SOMEONE besdies the Black Nationalists and Hip-Hop Activists, they should’ve picked one of the many Green Mayors.

I have to say, this was a wise choice for VP. It is a bold anti-Establishment image. Certainly would never fly with the “Cargo Cultist” WASPy non-libertarians in the LP.
