Roseanne Barr: A Prophet for Our Times

Barr, on Larry King Live. Regarding drug legalization:

KING: Let's discuss other things, the war on drugs, what do you make of it? Are you those -- do you favor legalization? What do you think?

BARR: Legalization, I just feel like it's a big excuse to, you know -- I just, I look at it like this. If they can't keep drugs out of the prisons, they're really not going to keep them out of every other place, you know. If they can't even keep them out of prison, we shouldn't maybe be throwing money to keep them out of every other place that isn't prison.

That's a really good point!

I also notice that even cancer specialists seem to come down with cancer. I mean, if we can't keep cancer out of cancer doctors, we shouldn't maybe be throwing money to keep it out of every other person.

KING: OK, any thoughts on scientology?

BARR: No, I don't really care what anybody believes because, you know, that's just like an excuse to fight with people. I just like believe in unity and that if everybody pulled together we could actually solve a lot of problems and I'm like pro that and I like, really like talking about it.

I'm totally into unity, too, Roseanne. So when will you unifying yourself behind the President and his policies? Or my own pet causes, like opposing a minimum wage? Or is "unity", for you, just code for "my way or the highway?"

I guess this would answer that question:

BARR: It's seven days at minimum wage and I'm back and I'm not going away until several million of you good and wonderful people hear, see, and feel what it's like to try and have a life working at or near the federal minimum wage of $5.15 an hour.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: That is a little low.

BARR: Jesus.

KING: How can you make it on $5.15 an hour?

BARR: Well you can't and I mean if you go to the inner cities, you know, of any of our big cities you'll see how it doesn't work. Just because the news cameras don't go down there doesn't mean it isn't happening and people need to educate themselves by going on the Internet and like getting the right information because information in the hands of the people is awesome. That's what the election was about.

KING: But the administration...

BARR: That's my two cents. I just want to say that.

KING: ...the administration says if you do that...

BARR: And I want to say that I learned this all at acorn.org.

KING: If you do that people are going to lose jobs.

BARR: Now that's what they say. It just means they won't have quite so much in bonuses for their wives' jewelry that year, you know. People at the bottom they'll have like, you know, maybe $50 more a week.

Except for the ones who become unemployed. It doesn't hit the ones who earn "bonuses for their wives' jewlrey", Roseanne. It hits the people at the very bottom. And ACORN was just indicted for vote fraud. (Barr recommends ACORN several times during the interview.)


Roseanne, on her source of inspiration...

KING: How often do you write on your Web site?

BARR: i write 24/7. I get up and I'm like a big old transmitter. If it's like 3:00 a.m. and something comes in, this pipe, I run down and put it out there. If somebody comes down this pipe, I run it out there. I'm getting a lot of transmissions from other dimensions and I want and represented on the net.

KING: Oh, no, we're not back to that again.

BARR: Well, that's all part of it. It's about thinking outside the box. How much more outside the box can you be when you're like actually get outside that box? You might find out that there is a whole cyber world.

KING: Is someone transmitting to you now?

BARR: Yes, someone is always transmitting through me, always.

KING: Do you have a transmitter -- does he or she have a name, your transmitter?

BARR: Just -- it's just -- no, it does not have a name.

KING: Just --

BARR: And even if it did, I would not be able to be speaketh it.

KING: Be speaketh it. But it is an it?

BARR: Well, I don't know if it's an it. It's an energy. It's an energy. It's an energy.

KING: It's an energy.

BARR: It's an energy that cannot be contained.


And, speaking of her web site:

Can We Talk About Child Abuse?

in the dream...ken mehlman is a gay jew who masterminded the anti-gay (evangelical) Christian movement. The evangelicals are headed by gay christian pedophiles. They are directly linked(through karl rove's Utah contacts to mormon pedophiles(polygamists))...let's start talking about child abuse folks, for real!

Nevermind that mainstream Mormons aren't polygamists any more than Jews still are.

The jewish organizations in germany helped to round up all the jews and deport and kill them. It could not have happened without jewish help. In this country right now, jewish leaders are selling the peace and the security of jewish citizens of America.

I know of only one Jew who helped the Nazis round up and take property from other Jews. His name is George Soros (I'm dead serious about this), and he's backing the kind of causes which draw your support, Roseanne.

Roseanne Barr, a prophet for our times.
