It is fucking election day in America!
People have many opinions about Eddie Rothman but I will say, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he cares deeply about Hawaii. He cares about its people, he cares about its environment, he cares about its economy and he cares about his surf.
And here, on election day in America, we see Eddie giving ‘er hell!
Oh the passion is as refreshing as an Off the Wall head slap! He is no mealy-mouthed politician. He is a firecracker who has seen it all and done it all and is not content to sit back and let the lesser fortunate get rolled.
Watch, learn and vote.

One last thought–God’s watching every move eddie makes and has eddie’s number–no one gets away with anything–maybe its time for eddie to get right with God–before its too late…
I don’t think God would approve of the tone of this post.
Jesus Negs, that must’ve felt like the end of the world. Hope you guys are OK.
Hey dudes–Fast eddies not even Hawaiian–he one haole transplant from da mainland–true– he from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania..
eddie also owns da hui clothing co.–they sell at Costco–now he has a bunch of ‘clueless haoles’ wearing da hui tees.–eddies probably laughing all the way to the bank…
That voice is being unreasonable again.
Funny guy. Isn’t he a Joo pretending to sound & look native Hawaiian, that owns heaps of real estate but, like the Bolshie-Joo-Commies, pretends to care about the small guy?
why does every time a Jewish person say something you call it out because they are Jewish. I do not agree with the Israeli government at all but that doesn’t mean i think Jewish people are wrong or illegitimate. On a tiring day, I’m tired of your sickening racism.
Thanks but you will need to prove the word ‘Jew’ refers to a ‘race’. Originally, Jew was a tribe of people that held a tribal-centric religious belief. Their founder was named Abraham, who was not a different race to his fellow Babylonians. When the word ‘Jew’ is used in the New Testament of the Bible, it generally does not refer to a race but to a belief system or ideology. Unfortunately, the central tenets of this ideology include they are chosen people that will rule over the other peoples of the earth. If you examine the ‘races’ of those Jews from Russia, Poland, etc, that invaded Palestine, you will find many of those Jews look Hun, Mongolian, Central Asian, Armenian, etc. If you wish to study race, you will learn the Palestinians are Semitic while many Zionists were not Semitic at all. Then you may learn which group is actually Anti-Semitic. Since I myself am Semitic, it is illogical of you to infer I am anti-Semitic or racist. To end, each race has good & bad people but ideologies are judged by the behaviors they promote.
noted and fair point, your wordings seem correct. so Jewish is an ideology like Islam? And you don’t like it?
Maybe you should learn about the ideology & why it causes so much concern. Start with the Old Testament & its stated relationship between Jews & non-Jews; how it claims to give Jews a god-given right not only to occupy Canaan (Palestine) but also the god-given right to genocide any non-Jews living in the land. Islam may not be perfect but Islam is a universal religion that intends to treat all people the same. Where as Judaism has laws for Jews & non-Jews, such as: “Deuteronomy 23:21 (20)—Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.”. Seek & ye shall find the truth that will set you free from those that seek enslave you.
righto getcha so every jewish person is wrong cos of the ideology they vaguely or specifically, explicitly or implicitly align themselves with?
No. The ideology is wrong but not necessarily the person. Many good people identify themselves, due to family ties, with bad ideology. That said, Eddie Rothman is acting like the ideology.
ok. i understand more. i was annoyed because i saw a pattern of attacks on anyone, to what seemed to be regardless of what they said, because they were allegedly jewish. do you understand how that may seem a bit weird from the outside?
It looks a bit weird to those brainwashed by the Holljewood media but for hundreds of years it did not look weird. It was always a question of ideological values. While the Jewish money lending & other practises are taught to the evil people of the world, like Hillary Clinton, the world suffers. It seems a bit weird to those that are not socially & morally aware and cannot connect the dots. There has been lots of bad colonialism but the Zionist colonialism was very bad because it followed the Biblical playbook of genocidal terror.
they got the rough end of the stick for a long time no? like surely you dont dispute that?
They reaped what they sowed. Their leaders were money lenders financing international wars & invented, financed & implemented Communism. Plus the Palestinians never originally hurt them but helped them, Why did the Palestinians have to suffer for the alleged acts of Europeans? You do not seem to comprehend their ideology regards themselves as a superior people and others (“the goyam”) as inferior & servile. Read how the former head Rabbi of Israel said non-Jews should be slaves to Jews: http://www.haaretz.com/jewi…
fuckin hell. im out. bye.
Too much truth for you. Sensitive soul you are. Yahweh bless you.
too much confirmation bias for you. yes youve got a lot of facts. yes they are skewed by the belief you started with. have a bit of compassion. start there. after you have your last word.
I don’t disagree with your last post. Your attitude is good. I just write these things on Pro-Zionist Beach Grit who want to grovel to the Zionist controlled media.
You should read this article by an ordinary blog site. It is real & objective. http://www.silverbearcafe.c…
Yes he’s a bit of a plum but at least he’s willing to put himself out there for issues that need talking about. You have to appreciate his passion on the subject and although he doesn’t always articulate himself as well as some he makes a lot of good points.
To me, he just sounds like he wants to be a player in the politics; like he is missing out on a cut of the action. The comps bring loads of economic benefits to the North Shore, including to his own sons. He should stop complaining. Lucky for his handsome sons, they are not a chip off the old block. That Koa is freaking handsome & has balls of steel.
the emphasis on economic ‘benefit’ ain’t everything. hell, it hasn’t worked thus far for the world, including the USA! USA! USA!
i won’t argue with you. but he is criticizing W$L again. if he wants to run a local comp at Sunset, sure, he has a point
I actually think he has a genuine interest in looking after people getting fucked over by land grabs etc. I imagine most of the large houses on the north shore are owned by rich families that use them a few weeks a year as a holiday homes.
The guy himself is a real estate owner & trader (per handsome Shaun’s movie Busting Down the Door). He co-owned millions of dollars in property with the Quiksilver CEO. Read here: http://beachgrit.com/2015/1…
So because he has done ok he can’t have an opinion and try and help other people? If you listen to what he actually says you might try and see past the “Eddie Rothman is a dumb fuck” point of view.
ok… i confess i may not have listened clearly. maybe he should improve his communication skills so his delivery is more attractive
Or you could just listen before firing off comments.
he has no credibility due to his reputation of being a self-confessed former petty criminal & real estate trader, doing well for himself at the expense of others. if the locals want a comp they can all lobby the local government in a democratic manner. he is just seeking attention & personal power, imo. old habits die hard for old dogs like him that need therapy to address a lifetime of violence
Sounds like he has the perfect background to be a politician.
Probably. It is easy to look like a retarded anonymous keyboard warrior like me but if i had to speak in public, i would definitely change my modus operandi so to not look that retarded
You’re using big words so you definitely have an inner politician just waiting to bust out of the keyboard and into the public eye.
Lol but na. I am having my 3rd listen. He is about 150 years late with his impassioned plea for land rights for native Hawaiians. Beach Grit reported he co-owned 100 acres across the road from Sunset Beach, which he could have donated to Polynesians
He does look a little weathered so maybe he’s just been building his case for 150 years. Cudos to you for actually taking the time to have a dig at listening though. I ment that in a none condescending way BTW.
No worries. I fully support Eddie’s position. But I only own 0.2 acres of land myself (well, until I die or it gets taken from me by dictatorship). He seemed to say the council took local land to build a fire station. That’s bad but just a drop in the ocean of native people that have been completely dispossessed.
I saw it as they “invested” in the land so the can eventually sell it off to the highest bidder for development. He was kinda losing his shit at that point though so I could be wrong.
I heard the same. Eddie appeared to allege the fire station was a scam or front for a future property development. It happens everywhere, where govt compulsorily takes or rezones land & then sells it a few years later to a developer; even in Australia
Yeah they are cunts like that. As Mr Trump has proven you don’t necessarily need to be a politician to make a difference so maybe Eddie can be the Hawaiian Trump. ( horrible mental image of Trump in a grass skirt)
Build a wall…A big a wall… The best wall… A well built wall around your 0.2 Acer’s of land.
Im really happy to hear that Nick and congratulations on your commentary today, you get get so much more though the gate when you slow down and engage. Now you only need to work on stopping Stalking the mods…
makua was prob the weakest swimming sperm
being articulate has nothing to do with making a valid point or not, actually. that’s a common put down by the bourgeoisie.
Well it does really. Does a child know how to get a point across as well as a grown adult or do they just cry? Lots of people get discredited because they can’t articulate their point. Which is a shame because a lot of people who can articulate themselves talk utter bullshit.
we are actually in agreement.
Although, I reckon crying is On point. they haven’t yet been trained to articulate according to normative discourses. they are, in effect, more to the point without all the justifications and maneuvering.
when they start crying to manipulate you, well, screw them. it’s on like donkey kong.
Just like Mr Rothman starts shouting and giving the finger.
I have some empathy. But money talks. No one is gonna give you anything. Want to change it up? Diatribes on youtube ain’t changing shit
I find it comical that yesterday Eddie awoke and thought to himself, perhaps while on the shitter…”I can make a difference if the people hear my voice and see me constantly licking my dry lower lip so my pronunciation don’t falter.” After that final bear-down, barking an order like General MacArthur… “Hey, motherfucker in the kitchen cooking my omelet, fire up the video camera, I got shit to say!”.
omelette.
you can spell it either way genius. “Omelette” is the French variation.
Eddie’s is, well…..amongst other things not, not French
Is it not french? don;t worry about me< i’m just bored looking for a fight.
Would that mean they’re going to miss the games on the weekend, Seas? Then nah, don’t think it’s gonna happen.
let’s start by attacking Princeville first . . . I’m pretty sure Republicans and Democrats can agree on that . . ..
Easy to pop off in message board Mr. Tough Guy but have you ever spent time with Eddie?
have you
Ummmmmmm. Yes.
thats cool he seems like a pretty chill guy
Oh he’s the greatest!
Oh shit wait didn’t you get slapped?
Have you not read Chas’s tome Welcome to Paradise, Now Go To Hell? It’s genuinely good. You can buy my copy for thirty bucks.
