Pawlenty's Lame Campaign Ad, Corporate Tax Insanity

[GR1EVOUS]

this is more like a movie trailer

[msceriseNoir]

evil.

[DimebagsZombie]

I wish that TYT would do a coverage of all possible candidates, I personally hope for Ron Paul as he seems the most intelligent and sensible.

[BarryDead]

Corporations don't pay taxes, you do in higher cost in goods and services.

[oodlesofosz]

The funny thing is is that 80% of those home closures were caused by healthcare debts

[Gibson29]

3:59 HAHAHA- good point.

[tooloocrew]

I have a feeling that alot of United States politicians do alot of research? Especially with answers like, "I don't know", "I would have to look into that", or "Is that a real question?" list goes on. Wake up people, your being dragged down the shitter!

[pwnurnoobazz]

Pawlenty and Santorum are establishment dicks, go Ron Paul and Gary Johnson in 2012!

[OrganNLou]

Very racist man indeed!

[o0teabaggermocker0o]

cenk...when the teabaggers say NEW direction, they mean into the same ditch...they really JUST want a new way to do the same OLD thing...anyone with a brain cell can figure that out....

[xXCrimsonVirtueXx]

@o0teabaggermocker0o Meanwhile in 2011... Obama is the same as Bush. WHAT NOW, LIBERALS! HAHAHAH

[o0teabaggermocker0o]

@xXCrimsonVirtueXx

Hell, buddy...#1. Never said I support Obama(you should really stop assuming that about ppl you don't know)...#2 I hope that Paul wins...because after he is done converting this once great nation into a 'for-profit' Corporation and selling the unprofitable parts off the to the highest bidding billionaires, NO ONE will EVER vote Republican or Libertarian...EVER AGAIN!!! good luck ;)

[Asher8328]

The only jobs I can Pawlenty creating are maid and butler jobs for his fat cat friends.

[CookieWishezX3]

Pawlenty has PAWLENTY of bullshit

[MyTemporaryAccount88]

WOW! Pawlenty stands for everything I stand for! I've driven down streets and seen street signs from certain angles, I've watched TV, I've seen gas prices at the pump, and I've seen black women taking photos with digital cameras! He's so right on the policy :)

[OukaKisa]

Barack Obama, Fred Karger, or Stewart Alexander... Those are my choices and I don't know how to choose between them o.O

[Havax]

I laugh every time I watch an episode where Cenk rails against corporations and then they end the video with a corporate ad.

[yayablu1970]

Remember Minnesota also elected Al Franken! How that happened, we may never know!

[Houshalter]

IF you believe in the income tax, then you should be against corporate taxes. Income means profit. Most of what corporations bring in goes back into the company. What comes out of the corporations goes to individual investors, which is the actual profit, the actual income.

[DaHonestAbe]

I never knew how the hell this guy got elected in my state.

[dmcarefuldriver]

Actually, I don't really watch the show for the political predictions, as Cenk said. I just like the humor. "storm is coming." lol

[Tounushi]

If you go below zero in tax rate, the government is giving money.

On my first paycheck ever, I had a negative taxrate due to a clerical error. I reported it and the issue was fixed. Dunno if they would've ever noticed anyway, but why be dishonest in such matters.

Don't blame me for being "lawful stupid," at least I have a soul.

[cupwnd]

You can tell that Pawlenty is a puppet, the guy tells him that bank of america pays no taxes, and his answer "I think we should lower the tax rate" , sir they pay no taxes they use loop holes "Lets lower the taxes and remove regulation" Sir they have off shore bank accounts "We need to lower the tax rate its too high" sir (handler jumps in) "he already answered your question" .... this frustrates me, politics has to change, wake up america !

[TruthAndMoreTruth]

"I have a question, how can we win the future, when we are trying our hardest to fuck up the present"!

2/3 (TWO THIRDS) of corporations operating in the US pay ZERO income tax!!

[killamenjarro]

Fear Mongering at it's finest.

[TiMMYSQUibbLES]

Cenk's robot is spot on! :D

[28stads]

All Robots have to do that if they are Gay Star Wars robots like C3PO.

[28stads]

Everything that Pawlenty speaks about in his ad was caused by Bush and his friends!!!

[PsychStudent85]

They're all clowns who just attack each other without offering any solutions!

The only one who will offer you his solutions is Ron Paul and the guy is honest and loyal like a Labrador Retriever!

Ron Paul predicted this economic collapse in the last Presidential debates and no one listened and here we sit!

/watch?v=zYJtUbUi0mk

[BigRezee05]

hahah his ad is copying inception 

[MadPuppets1]

did he hire michael bay for his ad?

[TheUSMetalhead]

OMFG Typical scare and scam campaigning.

[JCiznum1]

Cenk did you listen to what he said? He said the exact same thing that President Obama said in his last State of the Union, he wants to close loopholes & reduce the overall corporate tax rate.

[12235117657598502586]

THE MAJORITY OF POLITICIANS ARE 'CORPORATE PROSTITUTES'....AMERICA IS RUN BY WHORES!!!

[Bristow42]

Shit all you have to do in the USA to be President make a few movies, lie, be born in a other country, kiss babies, do what the fed tells you and multinationals, go on Oprah, be a member of cross and bones, start a war or two, rob people at gun point, put 2,000,000 plus in prison. Disreguard the constitution and let your cronies got craze with Tax payers money. How hard could it be?

[ABC132Acd]

New direction...say it a couple of times in a row...lol

[TRauck1506]

I want to watch the movie to the trailer Cenk showed at the beginning!

[jxsilicon9]

There can be a compromise. Lower corporate taxes in exchange for increasing taxes on the people who own the corporations.

[mikepike25]

That ad was hilarious. It must be so easy to be a Republican politician. Talking to your base would be like a teaching a kindergarten class you can tell them 2 + 2 = chair and they would believe it. He is mocking his own voters but only the people with IQs above 100 notice and those people don't vote Republican anyways.

I would almost feel bad for the poor fools who fall for this shit if they were so arrogant about it.

This video makes me want to go watch the Colbert Report.

[snowbaordguru]

"How can we reduce the corporate tax rate be less than zero?"

Easily, The republicans want to pay the corporations, with our tax money, to sell us their products. Pretty simple really.

Instead of the corporations paying the tax payers for the PRIVILEGE to do business in the most stable and wealthiest country in the world.

[imraw17]

HAHAHAH Pawlenty will never be President...he's to boring

[PaleoNychus]

That ad was more apocalyptic than a movie about the apocalypse.

[Richardisdorky]

In order to fix things we need to put them back in the hands of the guys that broke them in the first place. Brilliant. Next let's hire ex-cons to work as the police. Lower taxes for corporations only benefit the corporations. Did anyone notice that the "News" clips in his ad were all from Fox's "fare and balanced reporter"?

[MsRey00]

This guy Pawlenty is a clown. If Americans vote for him, then they're his fools.

[MsRey00]

This guy Pawlenty is a clown. If Americans vote for him, then they're fools.

[Zeldagigafan90210]

just think, what would of happened if Al Gore was elected in 2000. he won the popular vote (which I think we should do now instead of having the electoral college.)

[philipsidney]

The next step would be for corporations to be paid taxes.

[nietzscheprime]

@philipsidney lol - wouldn't be surprised though

[nabiji]

Fails a pawlenty!

[AlephNeil]

Three corporate robots have indicated disapproval.

[TOTCD]

The Unemployment rate is at its lowest in two years.

I am confident that it will be under 8 % by the time of the 2012 election.

So they shouldn't be focusing on that right now.

They should focus on raising taxes for the top 2 % to pay their fair share.

That would be a good way to balance the budget!

Pawlenty is a joke

[MMicro99]

Pawlenty is Brazen that's for sure.

Hes basically giving the finger to the voters and sucking big business kawk all at the same time.

[DelusionalAngel]

I am so over stormy, they're coming for you, terrorist, fear fear fear, the sky is falling, life sucks, waaaaah ads. Who wants someone so emo running the country?

[devourerofbabies]

@DidYouJustMakeThatUp LOL nice grammar

[nek0s]

This is the Cenk we need to see on MSNBC.

[sidd0123]

@nek0s Cenk needs more airtime.

[2ndBestAllTime]

How can you defend the past, when you eradicated the furture.

[gedwashere91]

HAHAHAHAHAH WHAT WAS THAT

[ChristianMission]

So Pawlenty is another Obama? Obama has done nothing. He did nothing of note before he was president, and he has done nothing of not since becoming president. Yet Pawlenty is the idiot? He's the loser? Typical liberal hypocrites.

[morganbath]

@ChristianMission I don't think you know what the word hypocrisy means.

[orewaroricon]

@ChristianMission Watch Cenk's analysis of Obama's first campaign ad and then try calling him a hypocrite.

[breemystic]

@ChristianMission TYT tore up Obama's relaunch add too though, Cenk called Obama's new ad week.

The thing I like about TYT and why I bother watching it is they have a moderate view on things, in my opinion if someone has a different opinion that's fine.

They tear down liberals and they tear down republicans when they do something that's distasteful and they praise a republican or democrat when they do something good, though Republicans do bad things more it seems like that in my opinion.

[UnderlordZ]

@breemystic "... though Republicans do bad things more it seems like that in my opinion."

That's not an opinion; the right wingers are far more corrupt than those on the left, and the left lets them get away witrh it because, with the exception of Anthony Weiner, they have no balls.

[breemystic]

@UnderlordZ And that would be your opinion. Thank you for sharing your opinion with me, I hope you didn't have a problem with me sharing mine.

[UnderlordZ]

@breemystic Again, it's not opinion. Statistically, whenever a politician is in the public hotseat, it's more likely that the politician will be a republican. Look up lists of politicians caught cheating on their spouses; the republican list is longer. And to further their hypocrisy, they'll not only demand that a democrat leave office and not do the same, but they'll even criticize EACH OTHER for their various indescretions of which they themselves are guilty.

[madmiguelh2o]

please deomocrats call this little herpe sore out on his bullshit! How hard can it be.

[milkmanmonroe]

I am detecting a "wimp" vibe from Pawlenty a la Kucinich.

[D0uble0h8]

Pawlenty's sincerity for the rest of us is as manufactured as his movie trailer-like ad

[Melpheos1er]

effective tax rate for corporate in France is 18% (legally it is 33% )

[treid100182]

FEAR-MONGERING, a little?????

[captBLOTTO]

That ad makes it looks like a trailer for something like homefront.

[FreeFireGaming]

@captBLOTTO I thought the same thing.

[Capng123]

So... Michael Bay is doing campaign ads now?

[803brando]

@Capng123 right?! i thought megatron was gonna pop out of my 3D monitor!!! LOL

[Capng123]

@803brando Needs more explosions though. And lense flares. And that annoying 360 degree rotary pan shit he does. Then it'll be PERFECT.

[MistressArte]

To answer your question Cenk yes every robot has to do that. It's how they keep their joints from rusting over. ;)

[ec166361]

nice....... when does the movies come out???? :)

[dffykvn]

Is pawlenty brain damaged?

The guy keeps asking him about companies that pay no taxes.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with this mentally defective piece of shit?

[mikepike25]

That ad was hilarious. Being a Republican politician is like teaching a kindergarten class you can tell them 2 + 2 = chair and they would believe it.

[marharth]

The ad was more entertaining then Obama's...

Most people are too stupid to give a fuck anymore. If they hear cool music and see flashing lights they vote for the person.

[xxGhostXIIIxx]

NEVER TRUST A ROBOT HE COULD BE THE TERMANATORE FOR ALL WE KNOW The P1000 the ill give Pawl this much his ad was prety cool he himself is not though =/

[dsconwayjrcheese21]

YES!.. always do the robot hands.

[TheAce1082]

at least this ad was more effective than obama's awkward and long ad...

[Tempest111]

I love ya Cenk, but everytime you mention how pawlenty hasnt done anything, I can't help but think "what did Obama accomplish when he was running?" No one heard of obama a few years ago and now he's president. I'm not saying nothing, i'm just saying.

[Violent2aShadow]

@Tempest111 He's painfully aware of that. He addressed that in a video a long time ago.

[turo9992000]

How does one become a corporate robot? it looks like a sweet job.

[devourerofbabies]

I'm sorry, I don't think there's any hope left for the USA. It's going to burn to ashes. It will be a hundred years before it's a reasonable place to live again.

[Stingerbillion]

@devourerofbabies HEY! Honestly, i agree with you the way people are stupid enough to vote for Republicans.

[devourerofbabies]

@Stingerbillion Voting hardly matters. The average Joe votes every four years.  Corporations vote every hour of every day, AND they write their own legislation. The balance of power is so lopsided it's hard to describe. It's like comparing the power of a 1955 VW Beetle to a nuclear powered aircraft carrrier loaded with fighter jets. Truth is few people are stupid enough to vote Republican. The reason they keep winning is the result of a 30 year effort to undermine the democratic apparatus.

[acewings221]

"Who does this guy think he is? V for vendetta?" LOL

So true lol, nice pun Cenk. XD

[Mahgwa]

Americans need to read 3 books:

1. Rogue Nation

2. Disaster Capitalism

3. Debunking 9/11 Debunking

If you don't you deserve everything you get America.

[dirt0bike00]

@Mahgwa ?

[GrayKnight3445]

ok that political ad looked like it should have been for Homefront

[MedievalWerewolf]

Yes, Cenk. All robots do that.

[migasfiesta]

cenk needs to take a break

[devourerofbabies]

@migasfiesta Honestly, he really does. We're literally watching his hair go grey in real time. I see a big change in him from even six months ago.

[zaponjanx]

There are two books U.S.A needs to read quickly. Animal Farm and 1984, both by George Orwell. If they do manage to get through both, and still don't get it, they deserve everything that is coming soon.

[zepps88]

FUCK PAWLENTY! HE FUCKED MINNESOTA UP THE ASS

[ABC132Acd]

@zepps88 now that's unfair. A good ass fucking can be a good thing. What Pawlenty did was more like smash Minnesota's knees and then stabbed them in the back a hundred times.

[obamaisaturd]

@zepps88 So you're saying he is the white version of Obongo?

[futuju]

@zepps88

isnt that illigal in minnesota??

[thisisachair]

Cenk's robot laugh was the best!

[ChrisTripp]

Wow, I wanna see that shit, it's gonna be awesome!!

Oh wait... it isn't the Bourne 'Superlative'?

Oh... *facepalm*

[jbeihl1]

hahaha its like an action/thriller

[Sandisk8gb]

wow video burn. ouch

[cadman2300]

Amazing. 0% isn't even a rate but this lunatic thinks it is and it's too high. I didn't think it was humanly possible to be this stupid but the republicans never cease to astound me.

[Vanguard009]

looked like a high budget add. Bet it was funded by corporate donors?

And please, yes, don't take this guy seriously. Can't afford it, can't do it.

[whoiscarlito]

Moving to Canada is now on my bucket-list.

[tcdowning666]

V for Vendetta was WAY better than Pawlenty's ad. Please stop insulting that movie. Pawlenty's ad was more like Armageddon

[TheViewFromCanada]

Well Stephen Harper seemed inspired by this.

[snowboarder1019]

i seen this on the libéralcanada site and how harper made like a canadian version of this

[LiliFromHali]

Was that a campaign ad or a trailer for the newest apocalyptic movie?

[Udinbak]

"In order for america to take a huge erection, it's gonna take a new president" - 0:44 - can't un-hear!!!

[grimthane]

We are totally screwed.

Any bets on who becomes the new world power when we fall? I know China would be favored, but I'm thinking about putting a couple cans of beans on India.

[newdimensionfilms]

HAHA, one funny thing is that when Paul Krugman says "washington has given up on the jobs market" I guarantee he was talking about republicans.

[xsithos]

liked! just for the Corp-robot acting at the end!

[acrophobe]

de storm. ees. comeen.

[aido92]

"Washington has given up on jobs" Really, Pawlenty? Didn't they just have the lowest unemployment figures since Bush was in office?

[ToTheConquered]

TYT is relentless on Pawlenty. I honestly don't think he's that bad.  He's for legalizing marijuana, so automatically he's more liberal than any democrat.

[hitheresunshine]

That ad was good… for Pawlenty of laughs.

[tktru]

@hitheresunshine YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[ArenThomasian]

@hitheresunshine LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Ohloveeh]

@hitheresunshine goood one :P

[shovethissite]

@hitheresunshine Pawlenty's SICK BURN meter suffers a critical spike.

[JTrizzleFizzle]

@hitheresunshine

That made me laugh.

Nice one mate

[angonbing]

@hitheresunshine i see what you did there.....

[thecosmos003]

I received a letter from Bank of America to sign up for one of their checking accounts and I've never been to a Bank of America and there isn't a BoA in my city. We bail them out so they can spam american with junk mail?

[thecosmos003]

Pathetic how a political ad resembles a hollywood trailer and has no content what so ever.

I'm 27 and have been only seriously following politics for the last 5 years and I can already tell AMERICA IS DOOMED. Literally america will fail.

[ifritincarnate]

I love cenk's corporate robot voice.

[TubeF50]

@ifritincarnate LOL

[merseywhogirl]

@ifritincarnate Cenk's the coolest!! keep it up man!!

[pir8prod]

If they can get Wesley Snipes for tax evasion why don't they go after banks?

[Ardenwolfe]

@pir8prod Excellent point.

[lapere]

the american media is bought and paid for!

[darthdidious]

That ad looks like a trailer for a Michael Bay movie, and it had just about as much depth as one.

[jgordon707]

I dont really know about how many people actually support him? He doesn't look like he could actually win a primary.

[nilbud]

Why not investigate the journalists who facilitate these crooks. At least decide if they're just morons or bought.

[GLEDS0N101]

CENK FOR PRESIDENT 2012!

[LeksServices]

@genie0390 - "I believe!" Wow. What a dumb shit.

[genie0390]

@LeksServices

is it possible for you to tell me what the fuck you're talking about??

[CalebAlucardtheHagan]

Cenk for president.

[MakoSharkX]

It's truly sad when the American public can't figure out what's reality and what's a movie or work of fiction... then again that's been the norm since the 50s...

[SwagDemon]

that looks like a movie trailer lol

[wood9670]

All taxation is extortion. Corporations figured out how to protect their wealth from falling into the State's coffers. I applaud them.

[WhaleGambit]

Cenk is the left's Glenn Beck

[SwagDemon]

@WhaleGambit have to admit it's kinda true but he is not a nut bag like Beck.

[cagedtigersteve]

Please Pawlenty. Run in 2012! It will be a landslide Obama win.

[lbss1238062]

I TAKE OFFENCE TO THIS! NO MATTER HOW STUPID THIS IS it's not a lame ad :)

[ezelite]

Id sooner vote for Senator Palpatine...

[bobbytiger]

Paul Ryan for President in 2012 !

[ConanTheBarber1]

Cenk, you are awesome. Keep going!

[LacedShit]

wait what? move to Japan and tell me America has the highest tax rate for corpirations. :/

[Ahzpayne]

"meet our demands or you and your family will suffer". i guess it's only terrorism when it's being said by an arab and not an american corporation and their cronies

[himanhiguy]

great ad vote Pawlenty

[duckinmypants]

I'm voting for Pawlenty or any Republican that runs. At least then the Democrats might fight a little. Unlike the Republican piece of shit we have now who puts a D in front of his name.

[charms71]

The middle class should have boycotted Republicans ever since Reagan's tenure. 

[NCSportsMan70]

@charms71 You can't assume everybody on one side is bad

[jenisedai]

@charms71 some of us have- the ones with brains, anyway

[oexnorth]

Next Republican talking point: "We need to start giving corporations money instead of taxing them because they create jobs."

[ReadmanJ]

Pawlenty must've hired Micheal Bey to be his campaign Ad sponsor lol.....In a time of economic uncertainty....*dun dun* One man.....*dun dun* can change America *KA-boom* Tim Pawlently is.....President of the United States *Moon Explodes into a shimmery American Flag*

[ZSwierczynski]

@ReadmanJ

Than Micheal Bay must be making Bank!

[Redfingers]

Tim Pawlenty's a fucking cocksucker.

Look at this little greaseball describing how he's going to grease the palms of corporations X Y and Z with special tax deductions.

I'm glad Cenk showed us the clip of this little weasel coaxing that much out of him on the tax holidays. This show is bad as fuck.

[bigcomcast]

Tea Paw.LOL

[kieran514]

cenk, just give up already, come help make canada better, we've got a shitty shit conservative government right now

[cne08]

Cenk laughs like Peter Griffin at 3:18.

[3dbeing]

ohhh ana, you and your nose.... hahahaha

[WikeddTung]

minnesota seems to produce a lot of shit for brains corporate cumdumps. perhaps we should annex the gopher state to isra-hell for their settlements; the palestinians can go back to their homes and live peacefully and the good folks from the great north star state can learn what it's really like to live under the authoritarian rule they seem to so desperately want. win/win.

[SlipperySnake321]

Wow Cenk why even bother with the substance. That add was so ridiculously over dramatic. This segment should have been just Cenk LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[paragshah2112]

after 0% taxes they will rally for illegal workers to come in so they have practically 0 labor cost and when we rail against that they will win the amnesty they've been craving. this is a nonstop cattle-train to hell.

for the top one tenth of one percent for whom this is the greatest country on earth, its a glorious gold brick road.

but despite their infitesimal numbers compared to us, they win. because our money supply is privately controlled by them, they win ...

>ridiculous corporate tax rates

>all jobs end up overseas so they can continue to not go bankrupt

>WHERE DID ALL T
