Roseanne Barr: Rich Should Be Beheaded If They Don’t Give Up Wealth
VIDEO
by Josh Feldman, October 2nd, 2011
Appearing on RT [Russia Today], Roseanne Barr argued in favor of beheading any wealthy American making over 100 million dollars, and made a case for bringing back the guillotine in American society as a form of justice for big banks and Wall Street.
Previously, while she was participating in the Occupy Wall Street protests, she said that if corporations were people (as decided by the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling), then Goldman Sachs should be executed for financial crimes against the American people. Today she stuck by those comments, and insisted that “the guilty must be punished” and Americans are seeing “their leaders get away with murder.”
Then, in a move Robespierre would have applauded, Barr called for the return of the guillotine in the United States, but added it would only be used on “the worst of the worst of the guilty.” She explained how this incredibly medieval process would work:
“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay… back anything over 100 million in personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of 100 million dollars and if they’re unable to live on that amount then they should go to the reeducation camps, and if that doesn’t help, then be beheaded.”
I should point out here that the host of the show doesn’t raise objections to any of this. And before you ask, Roseanne’s personal net worth is under $100 million. But I mean, seriously? The guillotine? Either I’m missing something or Roseanne just made a liberal argument for the death penalty.

The lovely (ugh), annoying, and washed up former actress/comedian Roseanne Barr was a guest on "Russia Today" where she claimed that capitalists should be sent to reeducation camps and, if that didn’t work, sentenced to beheadings via the guillotine. Apparently she’s a big fan of a Tale of Two Cities and the indiscriminate bloodlust of the French Revolution as calls for a repeat of history on the streets of New York City.
” So you know, Russia Today is ‑‑ it’s Putin’s playground. It is an anti‑West, anti‑American network carried by your cable companies, and let it ‑‑ it just spills into your home. Russia Today is a propaganda machine exactly the same as Al‑Jazeera,” Glenn said.
“Well, they had Roseanne Barr on,” Glenn said. “Don’t dismiss her as being a funny lady here because she’s dead serious.”
Barr said, “It’s part of ‑‑ the part of my platform is that the guilty must be punished and that we can no longer, you know, let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder because it teaches children that, you know, they don’t have to have any morals and as long as they have guns and are bullies that they’ll win and I don’t think that’s a good message. I do say that I am for the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of worst of the guilty.”
“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay ‑‑ you know, the ability to pay back anything over 100 million personal wealth because I believe that a maximum wage of $100 million and if they are unable to live on that amount, then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t happen, then be beheaded,” she continued.
“I receive e‑mails and messages and letters from all over the world, especially Israel and Turkey and even Iran, everywhere. I see it all, and I just encourage everybody. Get together as fast as you can. Stop all that lefty factioning stuff that leftist men love to do. Women, come together, and it’s ours and we’ll take it and we’ll fix it.”
“They’re dead serious. There are extraordinarily dangerous people within this movement,” Glenn warned.
*** The Dada Movement was a nihilist movement circa 1920. Ostensibly engendered with the abolition of society's mores and values resulting from WWI. In protest, the Dadaists sought to protest through confusion and mis-representation and provoke rage among the bourgeois (middle class, capitalists) in order to awaken them against war, corrupt political powers, and greed. Though born from the art world of Zwitzerland and Europe, it was not simply an art movement rather one that sought to change society. Though the definition of DaDaism may vary between artistic & political, remnants of both are extant today. (source: http://773.harrold.org/abortion.html#dada)
