Air America's Roseanne Barr Wants 1968 Riots Repeated In Denver
ROSIE THE RADICAL
Days after Rush Limbaugh was slammed by Denver- area media after supposedly (but not actually) calling for riots during the upcoming Democrat National Convention in Colorado, Air America libtalker and actress Roseanne Barr has issued her own call for a repeat of Chicago's 1968 violence.
Barr said she is so committed to repeating the events of 1968 that she's even willing to put up her own money to ensure it comes to pass.
Will Denver's reporters erupt with the same level of outrage that has been reserved for Rush over the past week? Will Senator Salazar (D-CO) issue an additional "reprimand" request against Air America Radio, as he did with Clear Channel last week? Will Denver TV stations take polls to gauge public response?
On yesterday's American Afternoon program (the former Randi Rhodes Show), Barr said this:
BARR (28 April 2008 Hour Two Segment Two): But you know what, I think I am old and I’m okay with being a baby boomer being older and everything like that. 'Cause I think one really good thing about it, we were just talking about it, is that I am over the BS. And I just want to identify solutions and then get 'em done. And I want to ah you know the people who are listening, I want to remind them or encourage them or wake them up to say you know what, you have so much more power then you think you have.
I mean I think somebody’s profiting by keeping us all divided and making us feel like oh my God we don’t even know what to believe what we’re reading what’s true. But you know, we have a lot of power and there is a Democratic Convention in Denver in just a short time and we should a bunch of us go there and repeat the Democratic Convention from Chicago. Like, let’s just cause a bunch of trouble. Let's wrest back our government from what, six or seven you know guys like McCain and Romney and Bush from the top. Let’s just go take it. It’s ours. Nobody gives it to you, you just go take it. Let’s meet in Denver and let’s do it.
[...]
BARR: Also try talking to other people plain and simple. Try like, they got they have us so isolated, that it’s us and our viewing screen like 1984. I mean talk to other living people because they all have the very same concerns as you do.
And then let’s get on a bus, whatever let’s meet up in Denver. I mean seriously, I’m willing to do it. I’ll even put some of my own money into it because I’m like committed. I see how it easy it is for ah the woman in particularly of my generation to go take it all. Take it all, it’s ours anyway.
And here's a clip of the exchange, which features both excepts transcribed above:
