Roseanne: The Green Party really dodged a bullet



It seems like it might have been a good idea for the Green Party to have a big celebrity like Roseanne Barr as their presidential candidate. In 2012, she ran for the Green Party's presidential nomination but she was already known to have a couple of screws loose--she claimed in 1991 to have recovered "memories" if being sexually abused by her parents. She herself dropped that accusation and said it was the biggest mistake of her life.

Jello Biafra who failed to get the Green Party nomination in 2000, told her to use her humor. Biafra claims to somehow be both an anarchist and a Zionist--I didn't know he was in the Green Party, too.

The Greens are more serious-minded than these guys gave them credit for. Ralph Nader easily beat Jello Biafra and Jill Stein defeated Roseanne Barr.

Barr ran that year on the leftist Peace and Freedom Party ticket instead. I don't know if she actually campaigned.

So what's her excuse for suddenly turning right wing? As if the mainstream of the Republican Party (and, for that matter, the DNC) isn't bad enough, she became an ultra-Zionist Trump supporter.

Looking at her anti-BDS speech, she may be a pretty typical neo-con, a Jewish leftist turned violent right-winger in order to better serve Israel.
