Posted by Brian Holtz at Libertarian Intelligence. Reproduced here for the purpose of discussion. Although Brian also writes for IPR, IPR as a blog/website takes no position on LNC races, 9/11 truth, etc. And while I (Paulie) do take positions on all of the above, they often differ from Brian’s.
For the last five weeks, I’ve been shining some light into the darker corners of Ernest Hancock’s record. Now that all this illumination has been supplied, it’s time for a humorous review of all the facts we’ve learned.
This first video is a riff on the Verizon “iDon’t” commercial that highlighted certain facts about the iPhone.
This next video is an example of a Downfall parody. I recently reported on IPR that Downfall parodies are getting taken down from video-sharing sites, so watch this one quick before it gets memory-holed.

Rebecca and Stitches, thanks for the kudos. While these videos were a fun way to shine some light on some truths that LP insiders should know, I much prefer making videos like these: http://libertarianmajority.net/videos
It seems Root has canceled his appearance at the Obama “trial”. He must not be a very good libertarian, because he knows how to recognize/admit/correct a mistake. 🙂
Damn Brian. Dondero said you were Irish and an Anabaptist to boot. And he took an oath on it.
BH
The second video was pure gold. I was dying the entire way through.
One of the things I value about libertarians is their wit. Both of these videos are great fun and don’t come off as mean spirited, at least not to me. For more fun, google “humorous political quizzes,” they tend to make good fun of everyone.
Has Root actually embraced Birther theory, or has he only said he didn’t see Obama at Columbia? Does he go farther and say Obama is some sort of CIA Manchurean candidate?
If Hancock spoke at a 9/11 Truth gathering and said, Gee, this story doesn’t add up, I’d not bat an eyelash. But promoting 9/11 Truth and other very fringey stuff is another story.
Semi neo con Holtz:
thx for answering
David F. Nolan’s query
right away as you
(like Bruce Cohen)
continue to dodge
the big issues.
The minute Root says the LP is “not relevant” if it does not pursue Obama nativity Truth, he’ll win my opposition to his Chair candidacy.
And how do you feel about Root trundling off to New York to appear as a “witness” in the Obama “trial” being staged by “birthers”?
“Lake” ??????????
and officially, finally, you official stand on Israeli Defense Force and the USS Liberty ?????????
and your pro war, pro Afgan – Iraq – Iran intervention stance ?????????
The first video probably leans too much on the assumption that you remember/like the original Verizon commercial as much as I do. People who’ve never seen the original won’t get my remake.
The deluded troll “Lake” thinks I’m pro-Israel, apparently because he thinks my surname is Jewish. In fact, I’m of German Catholic heritage, and I’ve argued pro-Israel Libertarians like Cohen for many years. Just visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/marketliberal and search on “Israel”.
Ernest Hancock and his wife Donna travel to NYC to help distribute “Serf City” newspapers on the Subway system to promote the Manhattan Libertarian Party. That evening Ernest Hancock debated Wayne Allyn Root for LNC Chairmanship.

It’s called satire spinspin. The first video was weak but I thought the second video was a quite amusing way of making the case against Ernie.
Brian has funny taste.
He (and California Lib
Bruce Cohen) seem to
be completely AOK
with Israel attacking
and killing sailors on
the noncombatant
USS Liberty ………….
I’m waiting for what you think is so humorous, Brian.
