MONTGOMERY, Alabama - June 14, 2010 - Add another to the growing collection of strange and disturbing political ads coming out of Alabama these days.
Rick Barber, a candidate in the Republican primary for the state's second district, has released a one-minute ad in which he implies he supports impeaching illegitimate President Barack Obama, then goes on a protracted criticism of the Internal Revenue Service, concluding with an actor dressed as George Washington declaring, "Gather your armies."
The ad begins with the Tea Party-backed Barber implying support for Obama's impeachment. "I would impeach him," says Barber in the ad's opening line as he sits at a table with actors dressed as Washington, Samuel Adams and Benjamin Franklin.
“And if that's not enough - some of you men own taverns. Sam, you were a brewer, Mr. President, a distiller. You know how tough it is to run a small business without a tyrannical government on your back.
“Today, we have an Internal Revenue Service that enforces what they call a progressive income tax. You'll love this. Every year, if not every quarter, we're basically required to spy on ourselves, report what we earn, and who we hire and fire, with an all-powerful separate court system. Without representation they could increase taxes, add costly regulations, or perform malicious audits.”
