Bootleg Brad in the Video Mash…

Share article:

The fine new video blogger calling himself “Hot Potato Mash” has posted a few video excerpts from a talk I recently gave at the Culver City Democratic Club about two weeks ago. He’s posted about about 8 minutes from the 30 or so I yammered on about in re: Election Integrity back on May 10th in an evening that also included the lovely Arlene Pinzler from Sen. Debra Bowen’s office (have I mentioned lately that Bowen is running for Sec. of State of California in a really important election for all of America and could use your support before next week’s primary?)

Please check out the video linked above and let us know what ya think. (NOTE TO CULVER CITY REPUBLICANS — OR ANY OTHERS: I’ll be happy to come and speak to you too! Just let me know when you’d like me to be there!)

While you’re at The Mash, you may also want to check out this short video clip in which we learn about what’s really important to American voters. Or atleast, what’s important to them when the media bothers to cover it several hours a week during prime time.

    I can hardly wait to get back home to my broadband connection and sacred Mac so I can see it. I bet you knocked ’em dead, big boy. 🙂

    Well done Brad! You get your point across well.
    I also saw a glimpse of you on 60 Minutes tonight, I think? Mike Wallace was interviewing an injured Vet from Iraq.
    (The link did take time to load but it worked well for me)

    Well, I’m happy to say it worked for me! (sorry, you guys…hope you get to see it)

    GREAT job, Brad! Many thanks to Hot Potato Mash guy for making that video, although it really left me wanting MORE.

    Damn, when are you comin’ to Florida, Brad?? Maybe you could try talking some sense into jebbie about how INSANE it was to make handcounts ILLEGAL.

    We have lovely big hurricanes down here, y’know, and when the power goes out & you have to cook over a fire in the backyard, it’s just more fun than you can shake a stick at!
    Oh dear…I think I got some of that dripping sarcasm on my keyboard.

    ALL – HotPotatoMash has the video only in QuickTime format, so it take a bit of time to load. Please be patient.

    GWN – Yup, good eyes. That was me. Didn’t know they were rerunning it again tonight, but when it aired originally, we found out about it and blogged it (with video clip) here.

    JOAN – I’d love to come to Florida, but they won’t let me past the border for some reason. Go figure 😉

    The "video excerpts from a talk I recently gave" link works for me – plays in quicktime.
    The "this short video clip" link gives an error regarding video, but still plays as audio.

    Well done Brad – the audience reactions are interesting. The murmers when you make a point and someone saying "unbelievable" when you tell of McPherson certifying Diebold after finding 16 flaws.

    99 –

    I first had trouble with this clip till I downloaded quick time and moved it to my newer PC. I use an old one for the net in case of viruses and spy’s 🙂
    I then downloaded the complete file (9.5 megs) and opened it specifically (the right click "open with "option) with quicktime and it played really well.

    Brad that was excellent. You made things very clear with the import the issue deserves unlike the main media.

    I would like a copy of the whole video if its possible to get one to put on your site for distribution.

    Do you have a download page for specific material you would like people to distribute by email, plaster all over the net and dare I say spam the whole damn world with it.
    Maybee then the main media would start talking about it.
    This video would be an ideal start. It would be good to have small download buttons next to anything you would like people to copy and distribute.

    When you click on a movie file link it often does’nt give you the option of downloading. You can usually get it from the temp internet files folder but it can be tricky for technophobes like me.

    Dredd #9,
    I hope EVERYONE goes to that link you provided & reads that piece. Thank you for posting it. Very bleak & very important.

    That list of far-too-right-leaning ‘democrats’—Joe Lieberman, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Jane Harman & Hillary Clinton—is by no means complete, either, but I’m not, unfortunately, as up on these things as I should be so who else is on that list?
    Maybe a much shorter list would be dems who are NOT too far to the right….

    Brad,
    I’ll start buildin’ a raft for ya…..

    Brad, do you think the Dems realize there’s vote fraud on e-vote machines? Or are they keeping silent for some unknown reason?

    Dan Ive been thinking the same thing. Maybe they all know something we don’t. Maybe bush has threatened to push the button. Far fetched (not possible) but how do you explain their weird silence.
    Dems should make Evoting the next big election issue. They need to run an Ad telling people that in Florida Jebb has made it illegal to count machine counted votes by hand then show that the machines are easily hacked, I mean that says it all really. Once you know that you should be convinced.

    If anyone here has the sort of money one needs to advertise. Get Brad on the Telly (TV) telling the country what Jeb has done with this law in florida, then show the video clip of that Republican saying the election was over and that they would take care of the counting. The main media though might just refuse to show it but those two things alone are very convincing. Its worth a try.

    I’m not defending my PC against Mac because if I could afford one I’d probably have one, but I didn’t have any trouble with the video.

    Brad:

    I didn’t hear you use the word "glitch" once. Just lots of facts and charisma.

    Better seek another career!
