  • wait did you just say air america was too conservative?!?!

  • More stupid BS from air america's token moron conservative. This video is the media in a nutshell:

    OBAMA: things are in our favor, but we've got to be careful.

    CNN: OMG, obama is being arrogant!

    MORON ON CNN: OMG he is!

  • the electoral map wasnt even near the same, even at that point. good one lionel...

  • that commercial is very, very, very annoying.

  • Lionel...I will be poking fun at you very soon..by Sunday Sep 7th...and you will pay attention to what I say following my humor..because it will be sobering for both parties, Dems and Repelicans

    Doc from New York

  • god i hate that fuckin hope comercial.

  • Comment below directed at the leftwing douchebag "jpbalkenende" who pulls random numbers from his ass.

  • @gaydude

    I guess being an idiot comes natural as a Republican huh? I await your apology for failing twice to post the right number about how DEMOCRATS voted.

  • This guy sounds like a cartoon pig, for fuck's sake.

    Too late to move to the center, choo-choo. Obama proved he was a MoveOn puppet when failed to condemn the "Betray-us" ad.

  • Lionel is exactly right. You guys who are supporting Obama are nuts. The man offers nothing real and changes his position with the daily polls. Wake up.

  • Hahahaha Patriots4McCain don't throw stones from a glass house! McCain flip flops on taxes, he flip flops on torture, he flip flops on HIS OWN DAMN IMMIGRATION BILL!, he flip flops on drilling for oil, he flip flops on the evangelical fundies and now he is flip flopping on the timetable. Heck he even took credit for Webb's veteran bill he opposed and did not vote for. What a sham!

  • Richard - you sound as if you just read an article on a business news website and then decided to run to youtube and spew your new knowledge. Phd in Econ is in question!

  • alright, so tell who is Austin Goolesby? Is this you? Or some obscure person you read about that for some reason you latched on to as the next great hope for America.

  • I have a friend who has a Phd in Econ. He's a shift manager at Wendys

  • Remember that name; Austin Goolesby.

  • thats great is his name richard????

  • We might have a stronger economy if dems didn't puch liberal legislation that taxes corps to death, makes unemployment insurance so easy to get, raises minimum wage, and leaves corps open to bs liability suits. No wonder they are shipping jobs overseas and having to import the product back in.

  • All liberals do is raise taxes and murder babies

  • all religious zealots are self righteous and kill doctors.

  • McCain supporters are too stupid to live, and should probably be used for medical testing or road paving.

  • Lionel is hands down the worst radio host I have ever heard in my life. And that includes teenagers doing podcasts. I wish AAR would dump him.

  • Obama has zero chance so long as McCain has a pulse (and if McCain does die it's probably still a draw). The American people aren't going to put an airheaded communist rock star in charge of the most powerful nation on earth. They're dumb, not crazy.

    I wish Obama could win. The most instructive thing you can do for an idiot is to give them what they want.

    May your wishes all come true.

  • Look at the voter turnout of the primary's. Obama has so many more votes it's not even close.

  • Not with LIKELY voters.

  • What do you mean not with likely voters they showed up to the primary's, you reckon there not going to show up for the general election.

  • McCain was ahead in a number of polls this week of "likely voters" as opposed to "registered voters" (or don't you listen to any news besides NPR?) His rockstar tour of Europe was so offensive to most of us that he may have actually lost ground doing it.

    This guy is just another dim bulb socialist radical and there's nothing they can do to hide it. I cannot freaking *wait* for the debates. Even McCain can crush this moron.

  • You may be right about McCain leading this week's polls; that does not change the fact that people who actually voted in the primaries voted in far greater numbers for Ob. than for Mc.

    Registered voters would be included under likely voters by the way.

    I am not saying Ob. is not a "dim bulb socialist." But seeing how well Ob. composes himself and the fact Mc. makes mistakes on simple geography, I don't think Ob. will have trouble in the debates. Mc. didn't even win the Republican debates.

  • McCain doesn't lead in the polls at all and hasn't vor a while. There is only one poll in which he leads by 4% and that is using some mumbo jumbo 'likely voters' bullshit instead of a straight poll (especially bullshit because the Republican base isn't excited to vote at all). In every other poll Obama leads. Just check out Realclearpolitics they index polls there. Obama is ahead now by 3% which is pretty close.

  • George W McCain has promised to make permanent the Bush budget deficits.

  • And Obama has promised to tax everyone to high heaven. EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE RICH PEOPLE.

  • If "everyone" makes over $250,000 per year, you are correct. Otherwise, you are completely full of shit.

  • No your just uninformed. Look at his social security policy. And a bunch of others. EVERYONE WILL GET TAXED. Of course if your on welfare you wont be taxed.

  • Dude, I know his policies. If you make less than $250,000 your taxes will be cut. He eliminates the upper limit on income subject to Social Security (a change which should have been made decades ago) but this increase is offset by a tax credit of $1000. If you make less than $250,000 your tax burden will go down under Obama.

  • first off he will let the bush tax cuts expire that means everyone will get a tax increase or can you not count.

  • Um, now I get the picture. You are willfully lying to confuse the ill-informed. Obama will repeal the irresponsible Bush/Cheney gift to the super-rich. This does not affect anyone earning less than $250,000. Facts are facts, no matter how much you lie.

  • you lying fuck the bush tax cuts cut all rates at every level so your just a hack spewing lies obama wants to repeal the bush tax cut that raises taxes on everyone

    you stupid lying hack

  • Dude, I am a CPA. I know what the Bush "taxcuts" did. They screwed the middle class and ballooned our deficits. The Obama tax plan will not increase taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. Those are the facts. You can spin your lies, but they are lies.

  • you are not a cpa you lying fuck because you are a liar now admit you are lying a repeal of bushs cuts does in fact raise all rates

    now show everyone how big a lying hack you are

    and lie some more. he also supports raising the gas tax I guess the middle class don't buy gas and supports wind fall tax on Oil companies guess who ends up paying that

    you hack

  • Not only am I a CPA, I have a Phd in Economics. Raising gas taxes is a great idea. Gas usage has (warning, big words coming) negative externalities. Sound economic policy is to tax gas heavily and heavily subsidize mass transportation.

    And the fact remains, Obama's fiscal plan will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. You cannot disprove this, because it is the truth.

  • I can and did disprove it because your a lying hack leftist lying thru your teeth

  • you sure did not learn much with that PHD you stupid commie hack

  • then you would know the top ten percent paid 70 percent of all taxes collected in 2006 so the question is how much more should they pay asshole and as a cpa you would know the top 10 % paid 725 billion in taxes and the bottom only paid 31 billion so how much more are you going to take you lying hack

  • Those who make the most should pay the most. Progressive taxation is a basic principle of our economic system. I advocate to a return to a 90% top marginal tax rate on all income over $10 million. No one, I repeat, no one EARNS $10 million in a year. No ONE.

  • and you think its your or Nobama right to tell anyone how much they can earn you commie hack you and all idiot that think like you should be sent to fucking cuba.

  • It is sound economic policy because utility curves are not straight lines. Revenue is generated where it has the least impact.

    Since I know you don't understand that, let me give you an easy argument to understand. In every society throughout history, when wealth inequality reaches an extreme, the result is armed revolution. If the rich want to keep their heads, they should support progressive tax schedules. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do because they understand this.

  • I will say it again you are a hack leftist and I don't give a rats ass what Bill gate or warren buffet say since they don't get paid they get cap gains and you know it. the top 1 percent of tax returns paid about the same amount of federal individual income taxes as the bottom 95 percent of tax returns you fucking hack

  • The highest income individuals should shoulder the greatest tax burden. That is a basic American principle. The distribution of that burden is a function of income distribution. We currently have an immoral income distribution.

  • no thats a basic leftist american Principle steal from the rich at the point of the gun.

  • then I guess you think JFK WAS STUPID TOO since he cut top tax rates

  • You lying sack of shit. This is all you cons are good for misinforming people. Yes the top 10% paid 70% of taxes in 2006 they also earned 70% of all the income. So the only thing your little stat proves is that the wealthy are making obscene amounts of money! And it doesn't benefit the nations because America is now 16th in wealth which is the lowest it has ever been (thanks cons!) and except for two good for nothing oil states all wealthier countries are more equal.

  • come on you lie spewing leftist hack you do know 250,000 is way above the top ten it starts 108,000 and you do know you lying asshole that the top 5 percent paid 60 of all taxes so again ass wipe how much do you expect them to pay fucking hack

  • Here is another uncomfortable fact for you. Republican Presidents increase budget deficits. Democratic Presidents decrease budget deficits. This is an amazingly robust finding true for every period since the modern parties were formed; pre-war, post-war, pre-1970, post-1970, etc.

    It is even true when adjusted for inflation, war, GDP, party holding Congress, etc.

    If you want the budget deficit to increase, vote McCain. If you want it to decrease, vote Obama.

  • whats true NObama will increase all taxes

    and truly fuck the econ. He will in fact raise SSI, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, INCOME TAX, GAS TAX, cap gains tax, CORP TAX and we know how that gets passed down, You name it and Obama's going to raise it

    and that is a fact.

  • Here is a basic principle of debate you don't seem to understand. Asserting something is not the same as presenting evidence for that thesis.

  • you have not provide any evidence to back up shit. I have so try again hack. spewing bullshit does not count. The fact all rates were cut by bush and obama will repeal the cuts is a tax increase and that is a fact.

    stupid leftist may buy your bullshit but damm even a ten year old can fucking count.

  • You sure do spout the expletives when you are caught in your lies.

    I have a suggestion for you. Remember the name Austin Goolesby. That name will be very important in the coming return to economic growth. Another inconvenient truth for you:

    Total stock returns (S&P500) during eight year Presidential terms

    Clinton 259%

    Eisenhower 216%

    Reagan 200%

    Truman (7.8 years) 185%

    Bush 7%

    That is not 7% per year. That is 7% over the entire 7+ years.

  • so what. I bet you left out the dot comm bubble clintons and lets not forget 9.11 costing 1 trillion off the econ.

    I suggest you go back to school and get your money back you were robbed and I hope you don't give such advice to clients cause you suck.

  • Another inconvenient fact:

    Since George Bush took office, the US Dollar has lost half its value against the Euro while the annual trade deficit doubled.

    But we know that actual results do not matter to Republicans.

  • Don't we have a Democrat controlled congress. Any piece of legislation to combat these issues has to make it through the democrats to get anywhere. Put a little blame where it belongs

  • you see richard is a phd in econ and a repeal of the bush tax rate is not a tax increase on those rates. Because richard said so

  • I guess they are teaching some new things in Econ classes since I was in college. Somehow they are now pumping out left wing zealots who think its fair to overtax the hardest working folks: business owners who create jobs, to pay for the least "least likely to succeed."

  • well I did not take econ I'm all tech but I did have a business teacher that worked for free and owned a plane and three new cars I think he knew what he was talking about and YES screwing business owners is not a good idea

  • Here is a basic principle you don't understand, you assume there is no growth in the wealth pie when it is growing all the time. the top 1 percent grew by 400,000 people

    by your thinking it could not happen without the goverment taking thier money and giving it to someone else

    what a fool you are I hope your clients run for thier lives as any advice you give is worth nothing and would cost them thier money.

  • Sounds like typical Republican math. By definition, the growth in the number of people in the top 1% is entirely determined by population growth. If the population grows from 250 million to 300 million, the top 1% increases by 500,000. Simple math. I know you may not understand.

  • Yeah, but alot of our population growth is the illegals that that Dems want to give benefits to. Aside from the economy, your boy Barack is totally inexperienced on the foreign policy front and thinks that Iran is tiny and not a threat. Taxing Americans to death is not the answer.

  • Well if that is true then the only reason the top 1% grew by 400k is because of illegals.

    Who needs advice about foreign policy from somebody who can't distinguish between Sunni and shia, doesn't know that Afghanistan and Iraq do not share a border, teaches 'basic facts of history' about the Anbar awakening that are false, but worst of all advocated for a war that has is projected to cost trillions of dollars and the lives of 4000 soldiers on the count of WMDs and terrorists that did not exist.

  • annother leftist idiot that can not do simple math the top 1 percent has nothing to do with Illegals idiot its the people that FILED TAX RETURNS YOU THINK ALL THOSE ILLEGALS ARE FILING TAX RETURNS YOU STUPID FUCK.

  • now you really spew shit thats got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. simple minded is what you are.

    your the one that doesn't understand

    if you are an example of a PHD in econ

    god we are in deep trouble. Since you appear to be a leftwing nutcase at best.

  • Ahhh, the ad hominem, last bastion of the failed debater.

  • No failed debaters here. I seem to remember 99% of the dems voting for this war and then to refund it quite a few times. Now they know we need to be over there, but if they didn't go against with an election nearing, they wouldn't have a platform on which to differentiate themselves.

  • Once again, remember the name Austin Goolesby. He is the man you should thank eight years from now when the budget is balanced, the stock market has tripled, unemployment is back down to 3.5%, the GDP has doubled, and the value of the dollar has been restored.

    I suspect as usual you will be trying to find some way to credit the moron child Bush for the great results delivered during a Democratic administration.

  • as a phd in econ you would know that 5 percent unemployment is consider great and you saying 3.5 percent. I tell you what you promise to blow your own head off if your wrong and I'll vote for Obama

  • Another inconvenient fact for you: since Roosevelt dems have had an average annual employment growth ranging from 5% for Roosevelt to 2.5% for Clinton for an average of 3%, Republicans have had them ranging from 2.1% for Nixon to a whopping 0.5% for the current idiot in office for an average of 1.3%. This means that there isn't a single Republican since the 20s who had stronger job growth than even the worst performing Democrat.

  • WELL SINCE ROOSEVELT HAD THE GREAT DEPRESSION he had no were to go but up. and his policy hardly made a dent in unemployement you lying hack. It was not until after the war that the econ took off

    so take your lying leftist bull shit some were else

  • ... You know gismo you are a complete moron. Ever heard of the 1940s war time economy you idiot? You know nothing of history and math suprising. Anyway even if you take out Roosevelt. Not a single Republican outperformed a single Democrat in job growth.

  • @gismo

    "WELL SINCE ROOSEVELT HAD THE GREAT DEPRESSION"

    Since you are unaware of America's wartime manufacturing (read employment) boom I am not sure how to read this but I will consider you to be a retard when it comes to history so here goes: you know the great depression was before Roosevelt right? I'm just checking maybe you meant he came after the great depression or something.

  • look dumbass without the war fdr never ever got unemployment under 12 percent

    which means he did crap

  • .... You were just making the argument that only after the war ended the economy improved. And now you backtrack and state the opposite. Please just shut the fuck up you are an obvious complete moron. And unemloyment plumeted from 1933-1939 when FDR was in office and there was no war (yes I know America got involved in 1943 but the war time economy was gearing up much earlier).

  • Anyway you've proven yourself to be a complete idiot not interested at all in the truth so I will from now on ignore you gismo.

    At least gaymusicpolice has a bit of (misguided and clumsy) intellectual honesty so if I want to talk to the political opponents I'll talk to him instead. He hasn't nearly made the same amount of moronic comments you have made.

  • During the war the government pulled the equivalent of 22 percent of the prewar labor force into the armed forces. Voilà, the unemployment rate dropped to a very low level. GDP reached a peak in 1941, stalled throughout the war period, then surged with the demobilization and reconversion. It jumped by nearly 17 percent between 1945 and 1946 and remained at the higher level for the rest of the decade. No wartime prosperity here.

    DUMBASS

  • One more thing YOU MADE THE ASSERTION THAT UNEMPLOYMENT DID NOT DROP DURING WW2! And now more than backtracking you are trying to make the opposite argument (which I made before you so please stop acting like you're telling me something new).

    Now, you complete fucktard, shut the hell up you don't know shit and you're a complete ignoramus as you've already proven.

  • no dumbass you claimed FDR fixed the great depression and he did not. you claimed great boom during the war year and in fact the encon was flat at best and employing 12 million during the war by drafting them is not full employment

    you stupid fucking leftist idiot.

    the ignoramus is you

  • Hahah now I get it, you're a joke character! LOL I'll play along. Hmm I seem to have never claimed FDR fixed the great depression but the only arguments you can win are imaginary ones. Anyway yes FDR did fix the great depression. Unemployment never got under 10% til 41? Oh my that must mean FDR decreased unemployment by a measily 60% in that timeframe.. Fucktard, unemployment was 25% when he got in office and in 1941 it was 10% and after that it kept on falling completely consistent 5% in 41.

  • Also unemployment was either 8% in 1941 or 9.9% depending on which source you use. So aside from retarded logic ("60% cut in unemployment is failure!") you also blatantly lie... Nice

  • your a dumbass the war cut the unemployment in 41, as for the high in unemployment try 30 percent and almost all econs say his policies did shit. and was able to recover despite his stupid policies

    you keep reading that leftist dogma and live in LA LA land its were you belong any way.

  • Actually, the statistics you've presented only mean the unemployment got fixed during FDR. It necessarily doesn't mean FDR fixed it, although that's debatable.

  • so what did you learn. during FDR admin from 1932 to 1941 unemployment never ever got under 10% GDP reached 1929 levels 1940 stayed flat until 1945 after FDR died and the war was over then started to rise.

    so your bitch boy FDR FAILED AND IT JUST PISSES YOU OFF whine whine whine

    little bitch your a stupid fucking hack lib

  • I could balance the budget to if I thought it was fair to overtax the most productive people in our country. But I think there's a "fairness" issue there that Repubs don't want to touch.

  • @gay

    You see that's the problem with you conservative fucktards you always have a problem with your memory when it suits you best "I don't recall".

    In the house 61% of Dems voted against the war and in the senate 42% voted against the war. As you can see neither figure comes close to your 1% one.

  • Your absolutely right. I was wrong. But your numbers are wrong to. You probably made them up on the spot. Oct. 11, 2002, the Senate and House both approve the Irag War Resolution - House 296-133 (69%) and Senate 77-23 (77%). So I might have a probelm with my memory, but at least I don;t just make shit up.

  • You idiot. THOSE ARE TOTAL NUMBER INCLUDING REPUBLICANS.. FFS! You fail at google.

  • the last bastion of the failed debater would be leftist phd in econ that does not understand taxes and refuses to admit to a lie and you made big ones, and Like I said if your an example of Phd in econ we are in deep shit. since you seem to think no one can get rich without screwing the poor you need to move to cuba you fit in much better.

  • It's true if the richest 1% grows in population it has nothing to do with mobility you fucktard. Even Rush Limbaugh would admit to that. Jesus Christ did you fail math in high school?

  • try again it is the number of people working not the total population you dumbass

    simple math I guess you flunked that course

  • You said "top 1%" nowhere did you mention "number of people working" so of course it is the total population. And of course there is a direct correlation between total population and working population.

    But then again it doesn't matter at all because if it is total working people the only thing your stat would prove is that employment has grown and since Republicans have been worse than ll Democratic presidents over the last 80 years it doesn't change a thing.

  • *Republicans have been worse than ALL Democratic presidents when it comes to employment growth the last 80 years.

  • ... You fucking idiot. If the top 1% grew by 400.000 that means the entire pie grew (including more poor peopl) because the 1% is a fixed number you retard! Jesus fuck you cons are dumb.

  • That's a lie if you earn less than 200k you get a tax cut with Obama. That's all you conservatives seem to do anyway lying your teeth out.

  • your just a lying hack leftist its real simple the bush tax cut all rates if you repeal the bush tax cut all rates go up

    thats a fucking tax increase

    you stupid lying leftist hack

  • Fuck Obama! he said that he's a symbol of America's greatness and change, fuck you! Your not president yet, you big eared freak! NoBama 08! Next!

  • god forbid your confident...bottom line...he is in the lead!

  • Obama thinks he's some sort of holy spirit..

    Obama is one very scarry dude...NOBAMA

  • Thank God the infantile, ignorant, corrupt, secretive and incompetant reign of terror of the Bush administration is nearly over. Now for the very hard work of repairing the unbelievable damage caused by this gang of thieves. It may take a hundred years to fix what this administration has wrought, but America is up for the challenge. I see broad hope returning in January.

    It cannot come soon enough.

  • "the odds of us winning are very good"

    Have we ever had a political candidate this full of himself. My god, what egomaniac!

  • That's not "full of himself". That is simply acknowledging facts. he is far ahead in the polls.

    Of course, what is not being reported is that there is still a large undetermined segment. And since the population is largely white, what fator will that play in the final numbers when those people vote for "their tribe"? You see, race plays a role here just as it did in the OJ Simpson trial.

    But Obama is no "ego maniac". Both he and McCain are the best candidates I have seen in my life.

  • McSAME is an awful candidate, but so is OBullshit.

    2 Neo-Con Puppets for the NWO.

    BTW, how stupid was that MoveOn ad??? wow...this is your brain on hope??? no, this is your brain on a coward who voted for the FISA Bill, ridding the 4th Amendment.

    Wise up America. The 2 Party System Blows.

  • oh: don't forget Michael Reagan calling for explosives to be placed up children's %@# on their first birthday.

    CNN = Michael Reagan = DESTRUCTION of DISCOURSE

  • Don't forget to credit CNN with destroying any chance at an informed debate, pitting Mr. Lionel against Reagan, who went on his radio show calling for the assassination of those demanding 9/11 truth, saying he'd pay for the bullets.

    Campbell Brown mocked the impeachment efforts saying that it's a waste of taxpayer money, while being married to Senor Iraq Occupation Wasteage Man.

    CNN , NBC are worse than Fox.

  • This guy is an asshat.

    Thank Yoda that Air America dropped him from their NY Air America Schedule.

  • that guy should have addressed the add which is rather clever he just attacked the organization

    and yes air america needs to bring back Seder

  • This is why i stopped listening to AAR a LOOOOOONG time ago.

    Seder was my favorite remaining show by far and they axed him. Sigh.

  • Who is this monkey?

  • Is this guy a serious pundit or just auditioning for FAUX Noise? Sean Hannity's new side-kick. Hannity and Calamity. We distort-you decide.

  • lionel. this guy thinks he's soooo very funny. i tried listening to him, and guess what? he's horrible. bring back sam seder already. what a douche.

  • The really stupid thing about this clip is CNN picking out an audio clip solely to justify calling Obama "presumptuous". The fact that they had some idiot on to validate their narrative is a given - they always do that.

  • Thanks for reminding me why I don't listen to his show. He might as well be a Faux News anchor. Way to insult your target audience, moron.

  • Yeah, AAR axed Sam Seder for this tool. I pretty much only listen to Rachel Maddow these days, and she won't be around much longer--I bet she gets her own MSNBC gig by year's end.

  • That liberal anchorette on CNN tried to shut up a FELLOW LIBERAL!!!

    Hahahaha!!!

    Too Funny...

    Big Daddy

    The enemies of God are fighting each other!

    Whooooooooooo!!!!

  • And this Lionel guy is a joke. I've heard more reasoned arguments from barflies.

  • I'm so tired of hearing Obama described as "presumptuous." It's one set away from calling him "uppity."

  • CNN- Conservative News Network

    Typical token "liberal" on the pundit shows

  • What a whiny little bitch. Somebody needs a boot in the teeth...

  • what tatsfan said, except that Rachel Maddow still rocks and she's on AA. they should never have lost Mark Maron, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, and my favorite of all, Sam Seder.

  • Obama said "it's still going to be difficult." The words were on the screen, as the audio played. Then Lionel immediately accused him of being overconfident! What a raging moron.

  • Lionel's promotion from nights to the morning show was the first strong indication that Air America was over. Thom Hartman and Jon Elliot are all they've got left. The rest of Air America sucks! Nova M is America's only real progressive network.

  • Lionel is such an idiot. It is difficult to understand what his point is. So happy that XM doesn't carry him in the morning any longer!

    Sara, Lionel is supposed to be a liberal or at least play one on the radio, AirAmerica. He does not reflect the views of any liberal I know. Can't figure out what Air America is doing.

  • aren't the libs screaming for fair play on radio? what the big deal.

    This commeral is so stupid.

  • No, it's you conservative Kool Aide drinkers who are stupid.
