Libertarian Congressional candidate Kevin Barrett delivers “pink slip” to Congressman Ron Kind

October 3rd, 2008 · 10 Comments

Controversial Wisconsin Libertarian candidate Kevin Barrett handed Ron Kind, the Congressman he is running against, a “pink slip” for voting for the Wall Street bailout. He also suggested that Kind and other members of Congress should be tried for war crimes.

3rd District Congressional Candidate Kevin Barrett blasted incumbent Ron Kind today for voting for the 700 billion dollar banker bailout bill, and demanded Kind’s immediate resignation.

“Ron Kind voted to saddle the taxpayers with more than $10,000 of debt per household” Barrett said. “This is the biggest attempted rip-off of the U.S. taxpayer in history. Why did Ron Kind side with the thieves from Wall Street instead of the working folks from Main Street? Maybe because Ron Kind has collected $186.5K in donations from insurance and financial services industries: http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/pacs.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00004403.

That means a juicy chunk of the 700 billion dollars was going to go straight back into Ron Kind’s pocket as bribes for his treasonous vote to loot the taxpayer. It’s time for Ron Kind to resign, before the people storm his office with torches and pitchforks.”

Barrett added that Kind, who has defied his own party to repeatedly vote for the war, has already saddled the American people with 5 trillion dollars in Iraq war debt. “Ron Kind and other war-crimes-complicit congress-critters have destroyed our economy, and now they’re trying to finish us off,” Barrett said. “We need to fire them, then send them to the war crimes tribunals.”

“This is part of Operation Pink Slip, a campaign to fire Congress,” Barrett explained, citing the website http://www.firecongress.org

    The Catholic Trotskyist Party of America disagrees with this statement, but continues to uphold its endorsement of Barrett.

    “Ron Kind and other war-crimes-complicit congress-critters”

    I think the best strategy is to go after those who actually committed the war crimes directly. I would offer Ron Kind immunity if he testified against Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.

    If Ron Kind was crazy enough to vote for this bailout, I’m crazy enough to vote for Kevin Barrett!

    Kevin Barrett has been interviewed twice by Joy Cardin on Wisconsin Publi Radio. I believe that hever American should hear these interviews.

    You can hear these at my internet media archive (my collection):
    http://www.radiodujour.com/people/barrett_kevin

    Kevin has been taking a beating in the media which is SOP for a truth teller running for public office.

    His last offense broadcast by several Wisconsin newspapers was, “sending his wife roses on her birthday”. This is supposedly a violation of the bogus restraining order place on him by his wife who is upset at him for basically sacrificing himself for a cause that he feels is larger than himself.

    Perhaps if we had a few less lawyers and few more truth tellers, the world would be a better place.

    If you want to know something, listen to Kevin. If you want to be placed back in the matrix where the imaginary steak tastes wonderful . . . that’s your choice.

    This Islamo-fascist can’t even get his family life in order — pure loser.

    At least he hasn’t thrown acid in his wife’s face or cut off her ears and nose like his role models in Saudi Arabia.

    The Islamo-fascists work for Dick Cheney.

    Google “Tim Osman”

    The war on terror is Kabookee theatre meant to frighten “simple folk” into supporting ever increasing defense spending and increased national debt which benefits global bankers. . . do your own research.

    Google “Prescott Bush”

    If you’re not familiar with Dr. William Pepper, you should take a look at:

    This is my site and it costs me time and money (which is now worthless anyway). I do this for my children who need a world to grow up in.

    I’m afraid the world they will inherit will be one in which they need to “grow things”.

    Really? Wow. I thought the USA were the good guys and those terrist brown guys were pure evil! Thanks for enlightening me.

    Barrett is a POS Islamo-socialist loser who needs to focus on repairing his pitiful family life and studying economics instead of tilting at windmills in the mask of a homosexual — whom his brothers in faith would have stoned — and declaring fascist fatwas against people who speak out about the evil religion that is Islam.
