And now for something completely different in an election season dominated by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump—a political ad starring "Dead Abe Lincoln" telling voters they "just got screwed" by the two-party system.
"What Abe Lincoln prophesied about Trump and Hillary," created on a shoestring budget by viral video mavens the Harmon Brothers, touts Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in a push to have the former New Mexico governor included in the upcoming presidential debates.
Funded by Alternative PAC, a Johnson supporter, the five-minute video also promotes a movement called Balanced Rebellion, which, Abe says, "is like Tinder but not gross," and aims to match voters one-to-one with others who are disappointed in the major-party choices for leader of the free world.
While citing public polls and current research, Abe's gentle tirade compares Trump to "your racist uncle," cracks wise about his own assassination and Photoshops Clinton into a corporate-logo-heavy Nascar jacket.

Ugh. Clickbait.
Ain’t gonna go there.
I pulled the ripcord after 1 minute...what a waste of a minute it was!
Well, I can’t post streaming video here, and Adweek is a trade publication. I don’t care either way, I just thought it was funny.
Ironically for Gary, Abe suspended habeas corpus and vastly expanded the railroad land grants.
Yeah....
I think Lincoln was about as far from a Libertarian as you could possibly get.
AMEN to your statement!!! Lincoln was for freeing the slaves, it was The Democrat Party that kept the slaves on the ‘plantation’ and it’s the Democrat Party that put the Black Community on a different ‘plantation’= The Inter Cities of America!!!
Trump is nowhere near what this author is trying to lie about, but when your a liberal, you have a mental disease=
“Doing the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results”....
His freeing the slaves notwithstanding, his views of white superiority would make David Duke seem like a moderate.

The ad was also misleading about the KKK endorsing Trump. There is not just one division of the KKK. In fact, some have endorsed Hillary. I remember one even endorsing obama.
Trump has been a public figure for decades. He was NEVER considered a racist until the liberal media decided to make him one.
If Gary Johnson had anything to do with this ad, I think a lot less of him.
I heard Johnson’s ad and thought to myself, “How is this guy going to solve all the problems in this country with his limited resources, limited experience, and political non-support.” This country is in so much trouble, it’s going to take all the magic that Trump can spin to get things on an even keel once again. Pray for our country.
...you never go "Full Retard!!!"
Whatever deranged sphinc-stain came up with this gem should be flayed alive and then castrated with a pair of vice-grips.
IMHO.
Gary and his running mate are “Libertarian” in the same way that North Korea is “democratic”.
Well I’ve never signed on to the new Confederates Tyrant Lincoln line
I just find the “minimal government” Libertarians now channeling Lincoln “the maximum applier of government force in our history” as their champion seems to be an oxymoron
Libertarians always claiming they’re so against war on foreign powers yet now Champion the guy that had a civil war with his own people ....it doesnt matter if you think it was right or wrong ...Libertarians by nature don’t or shouldn’t
But Gary Johnson is not your daddy’s Libertarians he’s definitely big “used government force” kind of guy if you really look at what he’s talking about
gary the pothead and friends are complete pinhead doofi.
Abe Lincoln was many things, on the whole more good than bad, but he was not a libertarian.
But he was more of a libertarian than Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.
Soooooooo, voting for Gary Johnson is like taking your kid sister the senior prom, sure, you’re at the prom, but....
Someone posted it here last week and said it would be good to have the “conversation”. SO lame. Horrible video.
I posted it for giggles. Sorry, my holiday weekend starts earlier than for others.
Gary johnston always came off as creepy to me.
