Presidential Candidate Roseanne Barr: We Need a ‘Socialist Choice’ Since That‘s What ’Saved’ Us in the Past (Plus: Romney Is a ‘Thief’)

Former “Domestic Goddess” Roseanne Barr was on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show Tuesday to promote her upcoming Comedy Central Roast and discuss her run for the White House. As many comics have remarked, it is difficult to envision Roseanne running for anything — and yet, she is an official candidate and her name (along with running mate Cindy Sheehan) will appear on ballots in many states.
As is typical with a Howard Stern interview, the conversation drifted from the hyping of the Comedy Central Roast to other topics like Roseanne’s curious campaign for the White House.
In case you were not aware of it, Roseanne is running on the Peace & Freedom party ticket.
The party, is also known as “California’s Feminist Socialist Political Party.” That’s important, as you’ll see.
Ms. Barr’s chances of winning the White House are electorally impossible because the party is only on the ballot in 14 states, but that did not stop her from spouting her political beliefs during the Stern interview.
In this first clip below, Mr. Stern initially explored Roseanne’s candidacy. Ms. Barr announced her belief that:
“People should have a Socialist choice… at least in the conversation… it should at least be included in the conversation since it is the thing that saved the country the last time Wall Street f**ked us.”
Strong content warning for language is in order for this clip:
Following the initial exploration of Roseanne’s politics and plans for the country, the interview drifted back and forth between a discussion of Roseanne’s TV special, the appearance of her ex-husband Tom Arnold at the roast, and even her sex life. But a few minutes before he wrapped up the interview, Stern circled back to presidential politics — specifically asking the candidate / comedian about Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Roseanne Barr accused Romney of “stealing federal money” and went on to say:
“I think the guy’s the biggest frigging thief that ever lived.”
Roseanne’s rant went on to claim:
- If Romney gave back “every dime he stole from the American people, we’d have no problem in this country, everybody’d be living great.”
- Romney supporter Paul Singer “makes money off cholera, giving cholera to kids in the third world…”
When Stern pressed on her cholera comments, Barr changed her statement to claim that “…the funds that were going to aid people that have cholera, disappeared.” For the record (and for Roseanne to consider), Paul Singer is also the billionaire, hedge fund manager who very recently announced the formation of a pro-gay marriage, Republican super PAC.
The last portion of the interview follows.

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 4:26amWow. I almost started to think about an idea but then you used the word “proof” and said you were going to puke and I realized how difficult it would be to arrive at this kind of wisdom if we all went around thinking thoughts. Our founders didn‘t craft a Constitution around the philosophy of Enlightenment just so we’d all sit around thinking thoughts.That’s socialist, communist liberal, gay, French, Muslim and other words we hate kinda stuff and not freedom, proud, God, lapel pin, waterboading, latte and other words we like kinda stuff. Wait, scratch latte . . . they are delicious but gay. If I thought about it, lapel pins might be gay too, but I won‘t so they’re not.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 8:33amRB is about as narcissistic as a politician needs to be to be a politician. I also think that when she had her face(s) lifted, the doctor lifted it so high he forgot to put the brains back in…. which explains a lot. She has no grasp of reality, a plus for a politician, she lives in a fantasy world all along, just like the crew in the White house and Congress and if truth is the light she can bend light.
Roseanne you poor demented little woman, the United States is a Republic, if the United States had been a Socialist Paradise instead, you would be a wealthy half-witted comedian, you’d be cleaning out stables for ten dollars per month.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 8:17amWhat an idiot. Tell us exactly how socialism has saved us in the past. Millions around the world have died because of socialism/communism and their misguided policies. Socialism often leads to dictatorships and starvation. Socialism is against human nature and self-interest.
To protect ourselves we need to get rid of politicians with socialistic leanings starting with Obama and those he has brought into positions of power. He ignores the constitution and and laws of the land and just does what he wants. News medial may try to build him up but common sense shows he had done nothing for the nation. Obamcare is a disaster in progress. He will want to improve it if elected to a second term to make it even worse. Have you ever asked yourself why national leaders and the very rich from nations with national health care come to the us for their heart, lung and liver transplants and for heart treatment? Evidently they trust American medicine more than their own.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 8:11amMaybe someone should tell that vile excuse of a human that doesn’t deserve to be called American what caused the finanical crisis and what saved the country.The Federal Reserve
Throughout the 1920s, the Federal Reserve System inflated (i.e., expanded) the money supply to provide easy credit for businesses to modernize and expand. This helped the economy boom, but it also encouraged many businesses to overextend their resources.

Why the Twenties Roared
What Caused the Great Depression?
Business overextension led to overproduction, which created too much supply without enough demand. It also led to overspeculation, as access to easy credit prompted many to invest heavily in the stock market. This caused stock prices to soar.
Concerned about overspeculation, the Federal Reserve began deflating (i.e., contracting) the money supply in 1928. This hindered many businesses that were accustomed to easy credit. The deflation affected individuals as well, since cash shortages meant that people could no longer spend as they once did. As a result, both production and spending began declining in 1928
