Best Campaign Speech Ever!

It seems Japan allows all candidates to have public airtime for a campaign speech. Toyama Koichi, self-proclaimed Mussolini Style Fascist, and leader of the Kyushu Fascist Party, is running for Governor of Tokyo.

I'm not convinced this is serious -- it came across like very-well conceived performance art. If so, it was brilliant. If not, this dude is nuts.

Either way, can you imagine American television allowing a guy like this to make a public speech, even if he BOUGHT airtime? Advocating to overthrow the government is a crime in this country -- but apparently Japan has more lenient free speech laws.

Anyway . . . enjoy.
