This is so great, so inspiring. In fact, we’re going into the studio today with Thievery Corporation and Kermit the Frog, who will stay up all night snorting Adderall and reading YouTube comments about FEMA death camps over a chill kind of trip-hop thing. And for the end? Let’s computer animate a motherfucking robot horse! LET’S DO IT. [YouTube]

Needs autotune.

TheRealJimbo March 4, 2010 at 10:04 am

The horse of Paul Revere? Ok, I’m lost.

This Cat March 4, 2010 at 10:05 am

Sound and fury signifying nothing.

Red Zeppelin March 4, 2010 at 10:08 am

I think that’s the scary horse from the Denver airport.

The city fathers they’re trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere’s horse
But the town has no need to be nervous

This Cat March 4, 2010 at 10:11 am

The horse is made of junk. I think it’s an autobot.

InKnockYouUs March 4, 2010 at 10:13 am

Wow, this “it’s all a dream” meme gets around. Remember, that is how that Michael Moore movie starts–with everyone celebrating Al Gore’s victory? Rene Descartes was a prophet who foretold the 21st century in the 17th.

You ask me to watch that at the same time that you’re giving me the choice between liberty or death?

SO unfair.

Seanibus March 4, 2010 at 10:17 am

You know, listening to this I realized just how unfortunate that the band Jim’s Big Ego has never done a video for their classic song “Bite Me (hard)” because it is, really, the all purpose answer to almost any form of craziness or stupidity.

I don’t think it’s appropriate to put Paultards and 12 inches in the same sentence; they’re all about 3 or 4 inches, tops.

Gopherit March 4, 2010 at 10:18 am

[re=524289]FlownOver[/re]: word. I was thinking the same thing.

Mr Blifil March 4, 2010 at 10:19 am

I watched this whole thing with “Too Many Creeps” by Bush Tetras playing into my headphones via my proto-iPad device.

My only question is why the tree of liberty requires all that tea to be spilled over the floor, blotting a perfectly nice PowerPoint slide? Oh and I learned that if you are insecure as to whether the viewer derived the overall message from your PowerPoint slide, show it repeatedly so as to give the slowpokes a chance to catch up.

Gopherit March 4, 2010 at 10:20 am

[re=524299]JadedDIssonance[/re]: then you missed out jaded. it’s like listening to Paul Harvey on acid.

norbizness March 4, 2010 at 10:21 am

Belgian? 12-inch single? I smell a Front 242 reunion!

freakishlystrong March 4, 2010 at 10:23 am

I really hope the Mayans calculated correctly.

Dashboard_Buddha March 4, 2010 at 10:26 am

Only made it to 1:49.

chaste everywhere March 4, 2010 at 10:29 am

This is the greatest fucking work of cinema ever filmed. It makes Citizen Kane look like Manos, the Hands of Fate. I am peeing in my pantaloons with overwhelmth.

ps Not that I would ever dream of relenting on the snark, but how many other elected officials actually use the t-word in public?

Prommie March 4, 2010 at 10:30 am

Apparently, the word “liberty,” when used in the formation “libertarian,” means “asshole.”

nappyduggs March 4, 2010 at 10:31 am

Really disappointing. I thought it was going to somehow segue into Captain EO.

bfstevie March 4, 2010 at 10:32 am

[re=524316]Mr Blifil[/re]: You are referring, Sir, to the principle of redundancy principle. Of course, it’s 2700 pages so we should scrap it and start again from scratch.

JadedDIssonance March 4, 2010 at 10:39 am

[re=524317]Gopherit[/re]: I totally hear it! And at first those dramatic pauses and quirky intonations seemed like remix’d flair.

Rajul March 4, 2010 at 10:40 am

OK I’m too busy to watch this, can someone sum up? Is it about how Ron Paul will win the Presidency on election day 2012, and then the world will end barely a month later, and Ron Paul will be all “fuck this shit, man,” because he never got to be President and Do Nothing, which is what all Paultards think we should be paying our elected officials to do?

JMP March 4, 2010 at 10:40 am

[re=524324]Prommie[/re]: Partially; the full meaning of “libertarian” is “Selfish, self-centered, pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, misogynist, smug asshole”.

Ruhe March 4, 2010 at 10:41 am

Ron Paul is the Shiva of American Politics! The folk art devoted to deifying this guy is amazing and in twenty years will be a hotly collected status symbol among politburo members.

PengIn March 4, 2010 at 10:41 am

Needs more starwipe.

Ruhe March 4, 2010 at 10:43 am

[re=524290]TheRealJimbo[/re]: Duh! Made of discarded engraved teapots!

bureaucrap March 4, 2010 at 10:43 am

I want to make two points:

1. Every time I see a blimp, I keep wishing I had a flaming arrow. Ron Paul’s especially.
2. I wish these people would tell me which provisions of the constitution they think are being violated. “All of them” is not the correct answer. And the 10th Amendment is not a correct answer either.

bureaucrap March 4, 2010 at 10:46 am

[re=524338]JMP[/re]: You forgot “gay and/or druggie”. Hands off my money; hands off my squeeze; hands off my stash! (But mostly hands off my money!)

skutre March 4, 2010 at 10:51 am

Whenever I think of Ron Paul, I think of hip hop beats first. He’s really down with the brothers and sisters on this one, he even said EX-CAPE at 3:41. I’m surprised he isn’t wearing a MAX.

Ron Paul for Blank Panther Party.

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO March 4, 2010 at 10:52 am

Where the fuck is Will.I.Am!? This is crap. I feel totes ripped off.

skutre March 4, 2010 at 10:53 am

[re=524298]Red Zeppelin[/re]: Of course, of course.

qwerty42 March 4, 2010 at 11:03 am

I had to give up. What was this, reading old bumper stickers? “My child is an honors student” “Jesus saves” “W”

Aguacatero March 4, 2010 at 11:08 am

Puzzlin’ Evidence.

Elephants Gerald March 4, 2010 at 11:22 am

That fucking horse was awesome. The other 5 minutes; meh. Not so good.

proudgrampa March 4, 2010 at 11:40 am

WTF?

assistant/atlas March 4, 2010 at 11:47 am

I kept wanting to tell Ron Paul to shut up, because he was totally ruining the jam. Then I realized that was the point.

Stupid Paultards.

honkyman March 4, 2010 at 11:49 am

Is it my imagination or have I lost my mind?

I yield back the balance of my time….

bozofish March 4, 2010 at 11:49 am

Obviously, Ron Paul loved Dallas and considers himself to be more Bobby than JR.
I still feel bad for Victoria Principal, however. The dead BeeGee would have been a rocking “how deep is your love for freedom” candidate.

FlownOver March 4, 2010 at 11:51 am

[re=524317]Gopherit[/re]: Paul Harvey on acid? “And now you know the rest of the blues and greens and yellows and you know how when you’re looking at the moon when it’s perfectly full and it looks like this BIG marble, but there’s this FACE and it looks exactly like the King Crimson cover, and… wow. Got any frosted flakes?”

assistant/atlas March 4, 2010 at 11:53 am

But I will say this about the Paultards–way higher production values than mainstream Republicans, with their demon sheep and their crudely-drawn oxen and what have you…

Way Cool Larry March 4, 2010 at 12:00 pm

I actually was totally on board with this thing until the stupid robot horse and the cheesy explosion special effects

Noonan March 4, 2010 at 12:04 pm

His Pittsburgh accent still cracks me up every time. It just doesn’t fit. He should’ve grown up in that crazy bumble-fuck district in Texas that keeps electing him.

Lascauxcaveman March 4, 2010 at 12:05 pm

[re=524346]bureaucrap[/re]: Every time I see a blimp, I keep wishing I had a flaming arrow. Ron Paul’s especially.

You’d be disappointed. Since that whole Hindenburg kerfluffle, they switched over from H to He; which doesn’t give you much bang for your buck.

oldguy March 4, 2010 at 12:08 pm

Many of these terrible things.
Would make revolution inevitable.
In the near future.
If any of them were true.

Have any of these idiots ever been asked to give non-hallucinated examples of lost “freedoms,” over-regulation, or unconstitutional actions by the current administration? WTF are they talking about? And what is Paul Revere’s Transformer(TM) HORSE going to do about it?

fromhils March 4, 2010 at 12:10 pm

OK that horse at the end is like the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Well, except maybe the autographed Ronnie Regan, Ron Paul photo…

JMP March 4, 2010 at 12:23 pm

[re=524433]oldguy[/re]: They’ve lost their freedom to not have a black person in charge.

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO March 4, 2010 at 12:47 pm

Went back and watched the whole thing just to see the stupid horse everyone was talking about. So, you assholes forced me to undergo the equivalent of a power drill being inserted into my eardrums so I can see Michael Bay footage that would never be resurrected off the cutting room floor? Thanks.

Actually, this whole thing reminded me of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5NAPZp2w-o

Which was itself stupid and corny, but still eighty times better than this chocolate covered corn kernel.

TheCoolestGuyInTown March 4, 2010 at 1:08 pm

Was that a Terminator horse at the end?

Is Ron Paul going to protect us from the Terminator horse at the end of the movie? Or is he developing Terminator horses to help round up those good-for-nothing, darkie, welfare recipients?

sezme March 4, 2010 at 1:14 pm

So was this supposed to be for or against Ron Paul? They keep showing his picture and name while droning on about psychotics, so I’m guessing … against?

ThePuckStopsHere March 4, 2010 at 1:22 pm

This some fucked-up shit. Were his words from an actual floor speech in Congreff? And did he name his son Rand after Ayn Rand–fan of serial killer William Hickman? And did I mention this is some fucked-up shit? Because if I didn’t, it is.

JadedDIssonance March 4, 2010 at 1:29 pm

Just when I was going to give the Paultards some CG cred, I found this:
robot horse
evidently made by some guy in Sweden.

When will I learn that they are Paultards b/c they don’t DO anything useful?

Dr. Spaceman March 4, 2010 at 1:31 pm

Seven seconds!

Extemporanus March 4, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Scooby Dooooo! Where are yooouuu??!!!

Extemporanus March 4, 2010 at 1:50 pm

[re=524318]norbizness[/re]: I smell Belgian Waffles!

[re=524539]JadedDIssonance[/re]: At least they ripped-off something CG — I would’ve expected
this kind of thing to be more their speed.

Larry McAwful March 4, 2010 at 1:59 pm

“I yield back the balance of my time” is my favorite Ron Paul quote.

ladymacbeth March 4, 2010 at 2:08 pm

i thought maybe something to do with troy?

but no, no that doesn’t really work with the paul revere themed horse.

drpangloss March 4, 2010 at 3:09 pm

Are they going with a “Fringe” theme there with the TeaBag? Get it fringe.. haha. Oh Boy. Now we know what conservative college kids do with their Fine Arts degrees.

zhubajie March 4, 2010 at 5:44 pm

[re=524433]oldguy[/re]: Well, the O. admin has kept the Bushevik torture Gulag and has added assassinating Americans whom they think are terrorists. (They use a vague definition.) But I doubt that bothers Paul Tards or Tea-baggers. They’re upset about mandatory seat belts and the like.

MsQuasimodo March 8, 2010 at 10:55 pm

That Terminator Horse just scared off what was left of my childhood love of horses. Now I’m afraid horses really are just hunks of metal magically transformed into soulless robots that just look like horses – replicant horses, if you will. Paultard, you sick fuck. You violated my memories!!!11

OTOH, he is an obstetrician, supposedly. When did he last practice? I have wondered if his libertarian, keep-your-hands-off-my-liberty schtick extended to the women he cared for. Did he force them all to have episiotomies, constant electronic fetal monitoring, pitocin, nothing by mouth, IVs, and the lithotomy position during labor? What was his C/Section rate? What percentage of his gyne patients wound up with hysterectomies? Was he like those old country docs (like still practice with the Amish) who actually did avoid intervention and let nature take its course? Or did he Listen to Women and offer them Choices? ha ha ha Or maybe he was like the old country doc. Who would willingly let him touch their bodies? Yuck. Maybe that’s why he went to TX. Those women didn’t have health care so they took whatever they could get. Does Terminator Horse make a statement about healthcare? Fuck where’s my valium …
