GOP candidate compares 'tyrannical' health care bill to slavery in commercial

Republican Rick Barber -- who is currently contesting Martha Roby in a runoff to determine the GOP candidate for Alabama's 2nd District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives -- is no stranger to controversial campaigning. Some of his ads have included a staged bar-room conversation during which he expresses his displeasure with the IRS to the "ghosts of our Founding Fathers":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQ7ZDUutU4 and an "impassioned monologue":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwCa-1MQ9V4 where he disparages the Obama administration for its response to a "Ground Zero mosque." In his latest ad, Barber stages a conversation with Abe Lincoln and compares the recently passed health care bill to slavery. "If someone's forced to work for months to pay taxes so that a total stranger can get a free meal, medical procedure or a bailout, what's that called? What's it called when one man is forced to work for another?" Barber demands. And in a deep and foreboding voice, Lincoln replies, "Slavery." WATCH RICK BARBER'S CONTROVERSIAL NEW CAMPAIGN AD:
