Bob Basso-Modern Day Anslinger

No, not the words he is using, but rather his well versed method of delivering his radical speeches.

The man is no amateur…Bob Basso found work as a supporting actor in many TV series programs, from Charlie’s Angels to Hawaii Five-Oh, even Rockford Files and  Barnaby Jones.

So, his indepth knowledge of political workings are most obviously lacking.

But the man can speak, and speak he does. On his meteoric climb from TV to You Tube, Bob has put together at least two videos which claim great numbers of ‘hits’ although a quick check will bring one to realize that he has actually gathered a small army of extremist right-wingers who, among other things, claim that President Obama does not sit legally in the White House, that our congressmen and senate are guilty of treason (or just short of it) and that folks should start sending teabags through the mail system. 

All this while in the guise of Thomas Paine.

That isn’t the scary part. He does it using speech techniques of adolf hitler while spouting  a Thomas Paine-like rant about his power to recognize reality from what we have been led to believe. The impetus being he wants God back in the Government equation, he doesn’t want to be taxed even though his income is well over that of most Americans’,  wants to kick all foreigners out of the country,  and an end of the electoral college. Well, I suppose he also wants to walk around in his late seventeenth century garb, too, but, hey. Who am I to criticize his clothing? All of my jeans have holes in them.

Now, while I do like the idea of term limits, a return to the freedoms we were promised in the Constitution, and the inclusion of our congressional and senatorial folks into the tax rolls, that is not the point. His method is. His creating a mob scene which plays over and over on the You Tube machine nightly is. His enabling people who want to kill other Americans is.

While some say he has two million hits? No. Some just go back and forth from the one video to the other, some raking the mud, others reacting to it.

A grand show to only one end.

His own buffoonery. At the ultimate cost of our freedom and well-being.

Can one man control the entire government from the sidelines?

Well, take for example:  Harry J. Anslinger.

Here is his driving motto, and answer this one question….

Is Marijuana illegal?
