Madison -- As part of his unusual campaign for Congress, Libertarian Kevin Barrett is planning to robo-call 30,000 people to talk about how annoying robo-calls are.
While he's at it, he's asking for their vote in the Sept. 9 primary. And he's reminding them he believes the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government.
"I've had it up to here with the boring, cowardly, mealy mouthed, lying scalawags that call themselves politicians," Barrett says in the calls that will go out Tuesday. "If they call me one more time, I'm going...to tell them: 'You dirty, lying, thieving jackals of Washington, D.C., wasted $5 trillion on that idiotic war in Iraq and you destroyed our economy.'"
He asks people to visit FireCongress.org, a site that urges people to vote against incumbents.
Barrett also claims 9/11 was an inside job. Barrett was enmeshed in controversy when he taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for his views on those terrorist attacks.
Barrett slips into a falsetto voice during the recording so he can sound like a second person urging them to vote for Barrett. The call ends with: "At least he's not boring."
In a second round of calls that will go out Sept. 8, the day before the primary, Barrett accuses U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-La Crosse) of lying about his views on the war, saying Kind is "100% pro war."
Barrett faces fellow Libertarian Ben Olson III in the primary. The winner will face Kind and Republican Paul Stark, an Eau Claire home builder, in the Nov. 4 general election for the western Wisconsin district.
