Did I see Dale Peterson in there?

Yup. There are also some other interesting “real people” in the background, including a Montgomery talk-radio host.

Wow. That ad rocks.

Barber has his work cut out for him here. Martha Roby received 49% of the vote in a 4 person primary.

But he is making the race entertaining.

Oh, heck yeah! Lewis the Marine from Georgia, you rock my world. Note: All 4 verses are in this week’s “American Profile” magazine that came with the newspaper.

And I think this is a great time for Beck to take a “that was then and this is now” approach to Barber.

Semper Fi

Any candidate who likes Abe Lincoln is okay by me.

Hmmm … in his issues section on welfare, he says he opposes it.

But in his issues section on taxes, he advocates putting every man, woman and child in America on a monthly federal welfare check.

Is this the same idiot who did the “we speak English here” commercial?

Thomas Knapp, please put down the crack pipe before posting. I don’t know who’s site you’re looking at but it ain’t Rick Barber’s. And no, the person you’re referring to–re: speaking English here–is Tim James. I know. Everyone from Alabama looks the same to you.

Excessive taxes is slavery. Just say ‘yes masta’ to the tax and spend dope in the white house, congress does. Why do we even pay congress, rubber stamps are $4.95.

Okay, it is a bit much in spots, but I like it.

Uh, er, Obama said he liked Lincoln, or was that he was LIKE Lincoln?

I assume the “morning in America” reference was a tribute to Ronald Reagan. Too bad President Reagan actually RAISED taxes.

RickS,

You write:

“I don’t know who’s site you’re looking at but it ain’t Rick Barber’s.”

Yes, it is. He supports the “Fair” Tax proposal — even promises to sponsor it. And that proposal calls for a monthly federal welfare check, fraudulently labeled a “(p)rebate” (even though it is not conditioned on payment of any tax in the first place), to be sent to every man, woman and child in the US.

“I know. Everyone from Alabama looks the same to you.”

Not at all. In a lineup, I could easily distinguish Steve Gordon from Bill Johnson from Mark Bodenhause, and any or all of them all from Loretta Nall.

yes we can

Any candidate who likes Abraham Lincoln needs a lesson in history.

I’ll give Rick Barber the benefit of the doubt, and hope he is an actual conservative. but using tough language in hard times doesn’t mean you aren’t woefully ignorant of the “Truths of History” (by Mildred Lewis Rutherford).

It’s shameful when a man running for office in The South invokes the name of a deranged mass-murdering psychopath like Abraham Lincoln.

The first ultra-liberal crooked lawyer from Illinois to reach the white house did not free the slaves… He merely facilitated their purchase by the forces of big government… which still holds title to this day.

This ad is extremely wrong and racist in several ways. equating slavery to paying taxes is extremely out of line, uncalled for, and downright ignorant. we all know what kind of people barber is whining about having to “work for”, and that is black people who continue to be oppressed by our government and institutions. Barber is attempting to justify his racist claim that paying taxes for public assistance is “one man being forced to work for another” by using Abe Lincoln, considered an ally to the freedom of blacks. BS Barber!!

everyone saying “anyone who likes Abe Lincoln is ok with me!” must feel like its ok to equate years of abuse and suffering to paying a higher tax in order to support the country’s less privileged and oppressed populations as long as they like Abe Lincoln. You can’t use a black freedom advocate as a scapegoat from your racist beliefs.
