Thom Hartmann: Can Republican get elected without fraud & treason?

[petersdraggon]

Nixon DID undermine the Johnson administration and Reagan DID undermine the Carter administration and it was treasonous in both cases. Because of partisan politics Republican voting citizens turned the other cheek. For all you folks yelling communism & socialism and every-other ism, you'd better wake up because we don't have a democracy or a republic anymore. We have an oligarky bought at paid for by a handful of ultra-rich who lead you to believe that someday you can be them.

[opguy4play]

Laughable...Republican controlled media........

[DAY8293A]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA...... YOU'RE A COMEDIAN THOM!!! I AM STILL LAUGHING AT YOUR BULL SHHHT !! WHEN OBAMA GETS RE ELECTED AND THROWS YOU IN PRISON, OR SHOOTS YOU, AS ALL COMMUNISTS DO WHEN THEY GET TOTAL POWER,,, YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR JOKES !!!

[jimw350]

Dumbacrats, Gotta hate em

[opguy4play]

Always illegal when you disagree

[eeor3]

He described Obama perfectly at the end.

[2000biged]

Republican crimes, true.

[silversoul7]

The Bush Sr. thing was a stretch, Thom. Come on. You're better than that.

[petersdraggon]

@silversoul7 Actually Bush Senior should have been imprisoned rather than running for President. Being the former CIA Director, I'm certain he was the mastermind behind the Iranian arms scandal.

[silversoul7]

@petersdraggon Fair enough, but that's not the same as saying he stole the election. Even arguing that he only became president because he was Reagan's VP is dubious, considering he came in second behind Reagan in the 1980 Republican primary.

[opguy4play]

You are so full of it for crying ut loud! This is the worse journalism I have ever heard.

Gore did not win, get over it.

[Mystylplx]

@opguy4play

Gore would have won if the 5 conservatives on the Supreme Court hadn't instituted a completely illegal and unconstitutional coup.

[petersdraggon]

@opguy4play Actually Gore did win after all the votes were counted. That's why Jeb Bush and the Florida Supreme Court stopped the recount. Go back to Youtube and search for "Clinton Eugene Curtis" and you will see his testimony whereas then Congressman Tom Foley asked him to rig the election. Never got out in major Republican controlled media in Florida or the Nation.

[jimw350]

So many dumbacrats on here. This man needs to be committed.

It's like he has clue. Typical dummy.

Dumbacrats have to be some of the dumbest people on earth!!!!!

[Mystylplx]

@jimw350

Actually studies have shown that low IQ in grade school is one of the best predicting factors for growing up to be Republican.

[LadyPashta]

Stop laying stupid attacks on your fellow Americans. We all have a right to decide which party we want to vote for and you are wrong for saying this crap.

[GrannyTenderstone]

@LadyPashta No he's not Lady. Hartmann is right. The right ALWAYS cheats because they can NEVER win fair and square. That's because they have UNTRUTH on their side and the progressives of this nation have TRUTH on our side. Cheat, lie, ignore constituents, disregard their oaths of office, etc. THAT is the right wing of today. And all this is no surprise. If you've lived as long as I have, you should have NOTICED it approaching this circumstance.

[bsew64]

Disgusting people aren't they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimw350]

Idiot, We never stole any white houses.

[MsDaisy201]

@jimw350 YES THE REPULSIVE PARTY OF NO (REPUBLICANS) WOULD NEVER HOLD OFFICE LEGALLY AND THEY KNOW IT. THEY ARE STILL CHANGING LAWS SO PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE ..THAT IS WHY MY FATHER SAID "NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN"

[GrannyTenderstone]

@MsDaisy201 You dad is a wise man! I call them the REGRESSIVE PARTY, because they want to take our country BACK -- to the DARK AGES. We on the other hand, want to TAKE OUR COUNTRY FORWARD to better things.

[GrannyTenderstone]

@jimw350 Okay then what color were the houses they stole jimw? THEY STEAL EVERY ELECTION THEY ENTER, because nobody in their right mind could vote for them if they actually told the truth about anything they REALLY think. the right wing "leaders" are all certifiably insane and should be subjected to psychoanalysis and therapy. Or just plain stick them in an asylum where they can all bug the crap out of one another.

[jimw350]

Thom, You are a lyinig dirtbag, Please get over it. Gore did not win the election.

[Syncopator]

Clinton had a lot to do with sending jobs out of the country. While I've no doubt the Republicans pulled these stunts, the Democrats are pretty nearly as slimy.

[socdoc1597]

The problem with this argument is that despite all the wrongdoing by Republicans, (which I fully believe), Presidential elections are rarely won or lost because of foreign policy...Clinton's slogan "it's the economy stupid," is almost always true. The only time that it has been proven that Republican fraud actually won the White House, was in 2000, Bush v. Gore.

[mr19932001]

@socdoc1597 Yes, but the major issue in '68 was the Vietnam war. if the economy determined '68 , Humphery would've beatin Nixon easily. Gore would've beatin Bush in a landslide if 2000 were soley determined on the economy. If the wars wern't an issue in 2004, Bush would've lost to Kerry. While I do agree with you that 2000 was the only proven time RepubliCON fraud won the White House (and wouldn't be suprised about 68 and '80) , the economy doesn't always determine elections.

[informatist]

I always knew that Gore won the popular vote, so that part was not news to me - but what I did NOT know is that Scalia's son was on Bush's Campaign... We used to have a really nasty name for that often ILLEGAL practice in this country... we used to call it nepotism.

[nicenonya3]

CIA +George HW Bush,Gary Hart,H Ross Perot,Blackmail on youtube

[nicenonya3]

Reaganites are the dumbest people on the planet!

[hedaben]

My republican family can kma, my memory is correct.

[HelaoHishongwa]

praise you for telling the truth,republicans are too blame for everything,not obama,obama 2012

[kauzmanentertainment]

Republicans suck!

[reallypatriotic]

Hadn't heard the Johnson tape. Good to have it out there! 

[EconAtheist]

7 people still believe that Reagan was a great president.

[joshweiss01]

BRAVO,BRAVO, BRAVO. I have known about all of these details for many years. Nixons emmissary who discouraged South Viet Nam from attending the Peace talks was Anna Chennault. The Iranians had their stopwatches out waiting for the inauguration of Reagan to be over so they could release the hostages. Rove had hired friends and assorted thugs to interfere with the Florida recount. We have been screwed over by these traitors for the last 43 years and I'm sick of it.

[candortube]

we can only hope that no matter how blind people choose to be, no matter how scared people become, that there comes a point where too many coincidental September-October surprises can not longer be sold as coincidence...

[SassyFighter1]

If the FBI, and POTUS, knew of the 9/11 attacks before the attacks, and there is evidence to suggest that the FBI did have prior knowledge that something was about to happen, did GW allow it to happen because he knew that he was not the legitimate President and he knew he could bury that information in the media, using 9/11 as the excuse? Has anyone ever examined the timeline of knowledge and when GW scheduled that visit to the school in Florida, making sure he was well away from the targets?

[joshweiss01]

@SassyFighter1 Bush didn't have to have exact detailed knowledge about the event . I'm certain he didn't. They just told him to prepare himself, something both shocking and wonderful (for him) will happen, and that he will know what to do when the time comes. The mistake they made was in keeping Bush in that classroom when the second plane hit. That was the tipoff that they knew he wasn't in danger.

[SassyFighter1]

We live surrounded by corruption and treason, and because we are conditioned to accept it, we will do nothing. Let's face it, both parties partake from that plate. If not, there would be more prosecutions. 100% of those who have stood on corruption charges have either pled guilty or been found guilty. The only reason they stood on charges is that their greed did not allow them to share the wealth with others as they were supposed to.

[keegan6868]

@SassyFighter1

Please point out what the only two Dem Pres in that time frame have done thats simular-treason ?.

[SassyFighter1]

@keegan6868

I never said either of them committed treason, but Clinton, and I voted for him , was influenced by the Walton Family. Hilliary had worked for them, they were headquartered in his home state, and they wield tremendous political power. Under Clinton, jobs were shipped out. Where I come from in Williamsburg, VA, it is a Dem that controls who gets arrested, who wins what case in the courts.  And when it was reported in the local paper, it was buried. A judge, we can't get the FBI

[revbookburn]

No, the Republicans will never give up fraud and treason. The Democrats are mostly Republican-lite. The Republicans, including Ron Paul, represent nothing but corporate stoogery.

[cruiscinlan]

if the rule of law doesn't stand, then the country doesn't either

[hevanzflamez]

@cruiscinlan SO THEN WHAT IS NEXT

[cruiscinlan]

@hevanzflamez no one knows till its all over; history tells us revolution is next

[hevanzflamez]

@cruiscinlan YES U ARE RIGHT BUT ARENT YOU TIRED OF THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN HISTORY DOESNT HAVE TO REPEAT ITS SELF OVER AND OVER EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

[trenchcoatbob1]

I'm sick of progressives becoming so paranoid that they don't trust other progressives. we are on the same side and are just falling for a dirty trick.

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@ArtetlaMusique87 I have and I've voted for him.

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL and you are a stupid leftist FUCKTARD, MS TOKOYO ROSE!

[happy543210]

You're letting all those dumb, ignorant Republican and Independent voters off the hook! They're the the ones who were easily bamboozled into voting for Republican Presidents for the past 30 years.

[SpitfireOFatj]

I wouldn't be a bit surprised in Republicans arranged to nuke Wall Street if they though it would get them power.

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@SpitfireOFatj

Nothing that the GOP could do would surprise me. They got us into two wars in less than 8 years. The Democrats aren't any better. Obama is in Libya and meddling in Yemen (and who knows where else)

I used to laugh at conspiracy theories; but now I'm beginning to wonder.....

[SpitfireOFatj]

@BoudiccaBlanc The Pentagon is a totally separate part of the government that is an old Cold War relic. They really can't justify their budget and can't even account for it. Many of the bases we have in the world are little more than a golf course in an exotic location so the Brass can take a vacation and call it an "inspection". We have a fleet of nuclear subs still playing cat and mouse against phantom Soviet subs and we are the #1 arms dealer in the world.

[28stads]

I wonder how many people wouldn't have had to die if Nixon wasn't such a monster? It is really a tragedy about Carter because he was a great president!

[clearshot19k]

This video has drawn many negative comments. Much of them across party lines. Is it too much to ask anyone to put their swords down and use intelligence and grace to debate instead of throwing bar room language at each other.

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL IF you dont want to be called a FOOL, I would suggest to you that you wake up to the fake that these presidents are nothing but puppets who control nothing, both parties are wholly bought and paid for, and stop letting this left-wing HACK Hartmann brainwash you into believing that everything is a Republican conspiracy. You GOT IT, MS. TOKOYO ROSE!

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL You and the Bushlites have alot in common, you are both partisan hacks. MS TOKOYO ROSE. Notice how in the fake debt ceiling debate, neither side talks about cutting the pentagon budget or cutting monies or eliminating the TSA. Hmm yah you keep hanging with Obama, and when you are out on the street, you can tell us how that HOPE AND CHANGE IS WORKING FOR YOU! MS. TOKOYO ROSE!

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL "Hold his feet to the fire" is what all of you Obamanoids told us you were going to do after he got elected. Dispite the fact that he voted for the FISA bill and the re-authorization of the patriot act. Oh but Obama was gonna fix it, aint that right, MS TOKOYO ROSE. LOLOLOL

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL and proof that you are an Obamanoid as well too. Tell me MS Tokoyo ROSE, what shit did the Libyans throw at him? Got an answer for that MS.. TOKOYO ROSE, oh thats right, war is peace and peace is war, hmm. He went over there to save the Libyans from that even Socialist dictator. Im sure the 15000 dead Libyans because of Obama's actions really appreciate that on. Hmm. Lets see he went along went the banker bailouts, continued torture practice. Are YOU THIS STUPID!

[RBLA818]

Excellent Thom!

But of course Obama is a legitimate Republican!

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL. If I even did attempt to write a book, the one thing I would do and always believe in is research and checking and double checking fact. Something that is foreign to you MS. TOKOYO ROSE!

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL You have shown yourself to be a leftist partisan hack and a FOOL trying to pin the right wing label on me. Typical phony two faced liberal, cant face facts so you flip out in irrational tirades . Must Suck to be a progressive, voting for Obama only to find out he is out Bushing Bush. But of course had you done your homework, you would have seen that he is just another puppet. But oh thats right you were being pragmatic. You were going to hold his feet to the fire. How is that workin

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Bernie Sanders is a Fraud, He refused to even go near the issue of Impeaching Bush. Poo Pooed those who did, help to bring you Obamacare bought and paid for by the insurance companies and defang in the Senate the Audit the Fed bill. Sanders is all talk and no action. He is meant to throw red meat at Looney leftards like you.. Democrats who fight for rights, like the 90yrs of Jim Crow laws courtesy of Democrats. Stoping all civil rights legislation. Hmm fighting for human rights? NOT

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Yeah keep spewing the leftwing talking pt that Im right wing, even thou I called you out on the Democrat hyprocrisy when it comes to continuing wars. Even thou I supported Mike Gravel. You should be proud of yourself MS. TOKOYO ROSE. You have shown us how irrational, Thomtards are.. Im calling the fake main line left Hypocrtes who talk a good game, but dont walk the walk. I have respect for people like Cindy Sheehan because she is true to her values. Dont agree with all of them.

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Some Democrats? Try all Democrats. You are still under the illusion that they are a little better. Even your Boy Kicinich isnt talking about impeaching Obama. At the end of the day he is politics as usual, My party right of wrong. And Bernie Sanders is a big joke and a fraud, playing the role of socialist but meant to keep people on the Democratic party plantation.

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Good job being a partisan hack, MS TOKOYO ROSE!

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Oh really, then why do you and your boy Thom try to make people believe that the wars are as a result of a one party conspiracy, namely Republicans, when both hands have a dirty history in the war machine. That is called telling half truths, and disinformation. You are partisan hack. I tell the truth. Get the facts.

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL, Thats right Ms. TOKOYO ROSE!

[trenchcoatbob1]

no big picture tonight?

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL Typical Thomtard, cant handle the truth!

[xadam2dudex]

this stuff should be in every high school history book instead of the crap those right wing idiots put in the Texas textbooks ...they are so perverse they even rewrite history to push their backward ideas of science and history ..kinda smacks of communism or the book burnings of the Nazis

[truthout911]

@ArtetlaFOOL. Oh shady characters like Al Gore who sold us on to NAFTA and GATT, Clinton who signed the repeal of Glass Steagal., Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Tom Daschel, Rham Emmanuel who got big contributions from the insurance companies who wrote Obamacare. The point is both parties are corrupt and have you fight about nonsense and distract you from real issues. You dont see me defending Repubs either. But fools like you who buy into the left/right BS will never get it. Thom has deceived you.

[Lightmane321]

Eisenhower was a bad ass. My kind of President.

When Obama actually grows a spine & stands up to the Republicans & kicks them in their Newt Gingriches (lol), let me know.

We need Bernie Sanders to be President. He kicks their ass every day. ; )

[sweetmaggy1]

@Lightmane321 NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Stop giving aid and comfort to the enemy! Media shuts out Obama and Dems! Pay attention!

[Lightmane321]

@sweetmaggy1 I know... but, thanks ; )

[phantomofthenet]

@Lightmane321 Yeah, or Elizabeth Warren

[bperci]

I think if it weren't for the words "libtard, hack, brainless and leftist", troll-boy

Truthout911 wouldn't be able to put a sentence together. His name says it all, to those who would understand: Conspiracy kook.

Hartmann is dead right about our elections, even if the shrieking hysterics can't get their heads around it and believe that Ron Paul, or some other conspiracy-peddling Third Way charlatan, is the answer

[truthout911]

@bperciFool then answer my Question about why Dems did nothing about the blacks in Florida or Ohio who were disinfranchised out of their votes. The blacks who were stop at road blocks and complained to their congressmen. And nothing was done about it. No investigations from Dems about this. No Thom is a liar and a political HACK and you are a Brainless leftard! As far as conspiracies are concern. I laugh every time Thom talks about a federalist society or how Reagan has come back from the dead

[monkeytail2002]

@truthout911 You keep mentioning 580000 war dead troops. How about that illegal invasion of Iraq. how about that little Bush war? How about Afghanistan?

[truthout911]

@monkeybrain69 How about the 15000 dead in Libya now as a result of King Obama thinking he has complete war powers authority now. Or is that just a humanitarian effort or kenetic action to a phony two faced liberal like you. Notice that I have not defend Republican once on here, but all of the Braindead Thomtards like you can do is spew left right BS. It goes to show both parties are corrupt. And For you info, you assclown, I supported Gravel how came up with a law to pull out of Iraq.

[truthout911]

@monkeybrain69. Where were all of you phony antiwar liberals, then. Where are you now with Obama continuing the Iraq, Afghan, now Pakastain, Libya and Syria adventures. Hmmm. Where is code pink, and move on.. Again the average IQ of I is showing amongst the braindead Thomtards! If you dont believe my support for Mike Gravel, then you can check out my channel. Until then STFU, Liberal FUCKTARD!

[BoudiccaBlanc]

1-2 @bperci

Paul is running in the primaries as a Republican. If he doesn't get the nomination; I don't know if he'll run as a third-party candidate.

I only mention the third party because he did run in 1988 as a Libertarian. He came in third behind GHWB and Michael Dukakis. (He was in the GOP primary in 2008).

(cont.)

[BoudiccaBlanc]

2-2 @bperci

The only time a third-party candidate gets any traction is when the people are throughly fed up with the alternatives offered by the Ds & Rs. And the third party candidate has a platform that seems reasonable to most of the voters.

With Ralph Nader it was consumer protection. He ran in 1972, 1992, 1996 & 2000

With Ross Perot (1992) it was a dislike of both GHWB and Bill Clinton and concern about the off-shoring of jobs (which they believed that GHWB favored)

[ekpil]

Wow .the trolls have activated .I hope they are paying you well.You right wingers have no facts ,just empty b.s.

[truthout911]

@ekpil Empty BS just the graves of the 58000 war dead troops because of LBJ's lies. I wouldnt talk about right wing troll, when paod left wing blue shirts cunts like yourself show up at townhall meetings to beat people up who dont go along with Obamacare.. No I have the facts about LBJ, FDR, and Truman on my side. You just cant handle the truth, because tommy has tried to make them out to be heroes when they are devils.

[TheAngryAmericanwon]

Republicans are nothing but idiots in this world, its time the democrats take over!

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@TheAngryAmericanwon

I hate to disrupt your dream; but the Democrats are just as bad.

[TheAngryAmericanwon]

@BoudiccaBlanc  sorry if only democrats could grow some balls and fight the republicans.. that be cool..

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@TheAngryAmericanwon

Well, we have a situation in which both Dems & Reps are in bed with the lobbyists from the banking and military industries. Also, some are beholden to foreign countries. These guys (like John Kerry and John McCain) have millions of dollars invested in the Military-Industrial-Complex.

I call these people "Neo-Cons" and "Neo-Libs" both are pro-world goverment and pro-war.

[Johnrack]

@truthout, your constant righwing blather on Liberal shows is indicative of what Tom Hartman mentioned on his show. The only thing that matters to you and your ilk is power and it's acquisition. Lies, distortions, race baiting politics, the belief in self entitled white males, the protection of corporate interests no matter the cost to society, stealing elections by dirty tricks, all this is part and parcel of your political ideas.

[truthout911]

@JohnIDIIOT Your constantly showing us that you are nothing more than a leftist political hack who loves to point out the faults in someone else's party but then refuses to see the corruption in your own party. LBJ should be proud that his lies cause the death of 58000 soldiers and 6 million Vietemese. or Trumans lies that cause the deaths of million of Korens and Japanese. . Or FDR who locked up over a million Japanese in concentration camps. Truth hurts doesnt it. Brainless LIBTARD!

[truthout911]

@JohnIDIOT what it shows is that Hartmann is a lying leftist political hack who would know the truth if it jumped and bit him in the ass. And for your information LEFTARD, Im not a member of any political party, I dont believe in them. Two birds of the same feather flock togethers. But brainless Libtards like you and stupid Neocons will never understand it.

[truthout911]

Mr. Hartmann you might remember that LBJ committed war crimes and treason by lying along with McNamara about the Gulf of Tonkin incident that never happened. Which is what got us officially in Vietnam. Even though we had advisor over there for several yrs and the behest of LBJ. Kennedy was trying to stop it, not LBJ. Again more proof of what leftwing Hack Thom is. Trying to revise history. The truth hurts Thom that you cant face up to the corruption of the Democrats and well as Republians

[bonnevie9]

@truthout911 You are a total and utter conservative dipshit .

[truthout911]

@bonneASSCLOWN You are a Brainless LIBTARD who mouths anything that the koolaid server Hartmann gives. you.

[helios5868]

@truthout911 You may also note that, though he had lied, he refused to run for office once his term expired. Meanwhile, everything Hartmann has said is true and your comment does nothing to address these points. "Yeah, well LBJ broke the law too," changes nothing about YOUR party's crimes.

[truthout911]

@heliosFOOL tell that to all the dead soldiers that died because of his lie, or those who came back from nam all messed up because of his lies. Tell that to my father who served in nam. Evferything Hartmann said was half truths and lies to make Democrats look like angels. More proof that Hartmann is a lying leftist partisan HACK and you are a FOOL who believe anything that he tells you without checking it out. I know are slow, but pay attention. I dont belong to a political party.

[truthout911]

Funny How Democrats had no interest in investigating the election frauds in 2000, 2004, 2006 &2008. Hmm looks like partners in crime to me. As far as the supreme court decision, if Gore had sued to recount the whole state of FL and not just cherry pick counties he was leading in then the decision would have been different, but then again we all now know that Gore was more interested in his Man Made Global Warming Scam!

[wildreams]

@truthout911 Global warming is a scam? Americans... To be precise, Republicans... SIGH.

[truthout911]

@wildMORON, Oh sign yeah a scam considering that we have been in a cooling trend since 1998. Considering that Mr. Global Warming Gore brought you NAFTA and GATT and involved in the Enron scandal. Publlically meeting with Ken Lay while he was still a sitting VP and make up energy policy. Now this is the lastest Scam that braindead libtards like you have fallen foo. Even your boy Dennis Kicinich called the Cap and Trade bill, nothing more that a derivative bubble. Ahh lLIBTARDS how pathetic.

[MartianStories]

THANK YOU RT for posting this. A great vid. I'm featuring this on my channel player.

This is what's been making me crazy about this country for the past eleven years. And THIS is why I want to leave america and make a new country my home.

I don't consider america a republic or a democracy anymore. america is an empire, and not even one that deserves love or respect or admiration. It is merely a corrupt police state that preys on it's own citizens, the land of slaves, home of cowards.

I hate it.

[jimlaregina]

To refer to the 2000 Supreme Court gang of five as "right wing" disserves true right wing types. To be a right-winger does not necessarily make you corrupt, which the 2000 Supreme Court gang of five were.
