  • The republicans say that big corporations need tax breaks so they can "create jobs.” Baloney! This is what they do with the money they keep: pay staggering salaries to their big bosses; ship American jobs overseas; and squeeze ever tighter the employees who remain. When in all of human history has a nation ever benefited from the tender mercy of the rich? Never, that’s when. It was the middle class who made this country great and now they are being sold down the river. Wake up people!

  • Just play the damn video and shut the fuck up.

  • You stupid losers can't tell this is from the 70's ?

    

  • @geo6892000 you are the stupid loser. He says several times in this report that the video is an old pro-union video that was redubbed for humor.

  • @Synomite No kidding Einstein - I bet you were at the head of your 8th grade class before you dropped out

  • The guy who did the voice over, from what I understand, is the guy who did the actual voice over. They just decided to have fun as well. The message is still the same, the union does a lot of stuff, but presented in a funny way.

  • I have begun my own personal policy of cutting off all far right people at the knees. I will no longer break bread with their kind and will seek to end all association with known republicans whenever reasonably possible. I recommend others do the same. Fuck all right wing republicans and may the good lord curse and damn all of them. The day of being reasonable with these satanic cretins is now over. If your a right winger then you are an enemy of all decent people and of humanity in general.

  • this is so fucking funny. how can you not see the humor in this?

  • Eric Cantor sucks donkey dick.....I know this because I am a Donkey.........not really but I bet I'm right about donkey dicks.

  • Most people that watch this spoof ad will say: Sweet I want to join this union.

  • Republicans use THAT kinda language?????  Oh my!

  • This no name loser from tiny state is a leader? What has Eric Cantor done? Survive politically in a tiny state with an overwhelming population of republicans?

    All this guy does is run his mouth, he hasn't done anything of merit. Pathetic

  • i feel like this would be the place to inform this greasy mediterranean scum of the earth that i wish your disgusting fat greasy devil tongue would be swallowed by you in one of your feeding frenzies you must have every night before you pass out in a pile of your own filth. that way nobody would ever have to listen to your voice ever again. Hard working guys do not work for unions, you fucking idiot. they dont labor ever. the jokes on you, you fat greasy fuck.

  • I don't think union people speak with that accent in Eric Cantors distirct

  • The poor man gets poorer while the rich man gets richer. Politics, Wall Street, Iraq, Afghaniistan..All have their puppets, fall guys, smoke screens. Unions did make and still do make a difference. The workers get the smallest share but what whould they get without it? The puppets will never truly represent the workers. But the workers have shown they can change the world and have. Revolution is not just a concept.

  • I'm a proud union member and I love this version of this psa. I laughed my ass off.

  • It's John Boener and the House republicans along with Mitch McConnell and the Senate republicans that have done damage to this country. republicans are responsible for 90% of the worlds problems through arrogance, ignorance or just pure unadulterated greed!

  • I'm a member of AFSCME, and a proud one at that!

  • Does anyone know where a download for the origional AFSCME ad is?

  • I will voluntatily renounce my Union and work for a dollar an hour the day prices are frozen and ceos work for 50,000 a year......Fuckin' jerkoff republicans!

  • @soconnor889 Yeah, let's just pull the numbers out of our ass! Brilliant!

  • @soconnor889 Instead I'll drive prices up for everybody else.

  • That commercial makes me want to join that union!

  • I actually saw that AFSCME commercial a long time ago and thought it was funny. The republicans weren't clever enough to actually make it. They just swiped it and forwarded it.

  • @kabeerajameela yeah I guess no home work was done since this has been around for years

  • Batah-bing, batah-boom. Cantor's a dumbass. Who knows, I'm sure he'll be caught on tape, fucking someone (who's not his wife), screaming out profanities, or at least taking the Lord's name in vain. It seems like these Republicans who run based on morals always get their true sides exposed,.

  • lol fantastic

  • Who's not his "wife"? No. no. no.

  • and we'll be working for $2 an hour with no benefits. Sounds GREAT!

  • Yeah, unions, who needs them, right? Have you ever stepped inside a meat packing plant and witnessed first-hand the kinds of abuses that go on in places where there aren't unions? You don't have a clue. I bet you don't even have a fucking job.

  • Amen. Working class people who are anti-labor never fail to amaze me.

  • Unions did not make us uncompedtitive- the Removal tarrifs by big business influences made the working playing field unlevel.

    why do we need to be compeditive with a standard of working conditions this country's workers spend decades to elevate.

    the unions created the weekend and the 40hr week and the middle class

  • It makes sense that Mr. Can't might get erections for unions which are very male dominated. Oooh, Eric.

  • Eric CantorYour big move is to unify with Jeb Bush to reorganize the Republican Party??? Like America needs yet another Bush in power??? This just shows how out of touch you are with America.

    Right now Ron Paul has sponsored HR 1207 calling for the first ever audit of the Federal Reserve (just where are those Trillions of missing Dollars guys??) and if Eric Cantor wants to show the people of Virginia and America, he is really for the common guy, he will wake up and co-sponsor HR 1207!!

  • yeah cantor has a hard on for the unions... he even looks like a fuckn perv.

  • Atleast he proved republicans can be funny when they want to but if the left made a goddamn video like this for the NRA or evangilism, how do you think the right would react to it.

  • what do you expect from congressdouche cuntor, he goes to brittany spears concerts, nuff said.

  • Eric Cantor is a shithead!

  • Oh, Cantor is anti-union allright. A real tool of the establishment right.

    Fuck you, Representative Cantor.

  • Douche Bag!

  • Eric Cantor is a primo douche bag.

  • What a fucking idiot. Its a fucking joke.  Everything is not about politics you elitist twit.

  • Saying this makes union workers look bad is like saying the movie Fargo made people in North Dakota look bad. You can find people's mannerisms amusing while still considering them totally righteous. Maybe that's too subtle a distinction for a hypocritical republican blowhard to understand.

    That AFSCME video was the first one I fav'd on joining YouTube. It's not just hysterical, but also leaves you loving those folks.

  • It would be nice if, I dunno, maybe for 5 or 10 minutes after their lunch breaks, Republican Congressmen paused in their endless efforts to secure the prosperity of bankers and billionaire investors, and put a little thought into welfare of the 100 million or so workers in the USA that work hard to make this country run. It's just a crazy thought I had...

  • 100 Million?? Really? Where'd you get that absurd number? The labor force is only 150 million. Are you gonna tell me 100 Million of those are lower-skilled, lower-waged, mostly working-class folks? Please! Get outta with those garbage statistics.

    Looks like another welfare liberal pulls statistics out of his ass to support bigger gov't.

  • Median income occupations tend to require "trade school" educations. They're skilled but not often analytical jobs. They're working class jobs that pay around $15.50 an hour. Call it lower middle class. These are the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

  • lol @ the censorship by the vid author

  • Hahahaha soo funny and soo true. Unions do all the shit we don't want to and they get paid well to do it. But from my experience, union workers are assholes to deal with.

  • I'm a lifelong Democract and union member, but I've got to admit it was kind of funny. Backfired on the GOP again.

  • Comment removed

  • Republicans are scum.

  • Everyone commenting on this video needs to eat a fucking bullet.

    Get a sense of humor and stop bitching about political bullshit.

  • the whole republican party is filled with crazies

  • maybe but right now who's in charge...the american people realized republicans were crazy stupid and incompetent. no voice in the house, barely any in the senate, and we control the whitehouse. hey i guess tax evaders are smart lol, your republican party is a circus right now, with rush steele etc

  • Comment removed

  • Fat chance, elitist.

  • Comment removed

  • It's DemocratIC party, thankyaverymuch.

  • Halarious AFSCME parody. Love it. Not done by Candor, much older than that.

    AFSCME deserves some kicking in the ass for their hypocritical stance when it comes to their treatment of their own employees. They do things like bust staff unions, force staff unions to put illegal clauses in their contracts and just plain ignore the contract. They deserve very little respect.

  • Exactly, the unions could have some corruption of their own, but the answer to that is to watch the unions more closely... not to do away with them altogether, like the righties have been for the last few decades.

  • Cantor is an annoying Neo-con that thinks he's going to become the next Newt Ging.

    New flash GOP! this isn't 1993, we weren't in a reccession in '93 and Clinton had a 49% approval rating not a 63%.

    I guess neo-cons really are truly pathetic.

  • I ...

    love this ad. It is hilarious.

  • Cantor is nothing more than a Hard Right Nationalist. Who are Hard Right Nationalists? Skinheads, KKK, white supremacists and of course the Evangelicals.

    These idiots are trying to chase out the moderate Republican Senators.

    No No No. Either the Right jumps off a cliff, or moves to the center. I say they will jump off a cliff and go the way of the Whig Party.

    The farther they go over the cliff, the faster they become extinct.

  • Cantor and his House gang are all Anti American republicans in my opinion and need to be voted out in 2010. Not a one voted for the Stim package in this emergency situation we face. They rather play games with the American people lives than do the right thing. Vote all of them out 2010!

  • Eric Cantor is a little rat....

  • Nice. Cantor, part of the language police, sends out a profanity laden video because unions, which help negotiate a living wage for blue collar workers, are the root of all evil. What a towering bag of douche.

    Randy

  • Damn right Randy. I am a union man and I can't believe this. I am totally outraged and ... gotta take my 15 minute coffee break.

  • who do these working people think they are? fighting for their rights and what not?! they should do as they told while our brilliant ceos and corporate executives guide us to economic glory.

  • Have unions outlived there usefulness? They certainly worked well to get rights and benefits for employees back in the day. Seems to me, a few years back, when I worked in a union steel mill, the unions kept getting the employees more money for doing less work and less days to work on! Then everybody's screaming about cheap Japanese steel imports killing the steel industry (not to mention the EPA mandates). Looks like unions priced American labor out of the world market.

  • Wait a minute... Cenk you're from NJ, why don't you have that accent? :)

  • DblOSmith: I'd venture a guess that he's well educated.

  • lol, That accent doesn't equal uneducated, heh.

  • To be honest I really wonder where our society is headed these days.

  • yuukisama2001: We probably don't want to know. By the looks of it, it certainly seems to be in a hurry to get there.

  • This is an awesome ad.

  • That is a great ad :-)

  • that should be the real commercial

  • I remember when Matthews kicked this guy's ass on Hardball.

  • I'll say one thing about that video-the road safety sense of the people in it is awful-The guy in the car is more interested in eyeing up manual workers than in watching the road in front of him-and check out the dustbin man in the first few seconds who walks out right in front of a car without looking!

    a different era!

  • lol, I was thinking the same thing. haha!

  • why are men from back in the day so handsome? i love the narrator lol

  • As a fucking italian I'm fucking pissed right the fuck off with the fucking bull shit stereo types by these republican cunts. Fuck'em all those cock sucking sons of fucking whores.

  • I laughed the whole commercial!!! LMAO!!!

  • LMFAO..thats a great commercial....hahahah

  • Republicans are not clever or funny, but Democrats are funny as hell, look at the Shit they are producing on a daily basis

  • Hahaa. Old white men dont know shit. lawl :)

    Stop being out of touch with the world and get some pussy bro!

  • oops. Nevermind dessregard that.

  • I don't think it will have the desired effect, but it is funny as shit...

  • I'm not sure how the Republicans did this, but I've watched it four times and each time it's more ridiculous then the last. Amazingly funny!

  • I like that commercial! Its funny and that UNION ROCKS!!! 3 generations of my family have been in that union and they are a powerhouse for the workers. AFSCME for life!!!

  • I wish they would rep my industry.

  • Hey. Maybe he is a secret democrat.

  • Damn repugs.

  • This video has been out forever. Republicans are not clever or funny enough to come up with something like this.

  • When I used to live in Brooklyn, I knew guys who pretty much talked like that. Loved it!

  • republicans= out of touch...Is that true enough for you

  • If my house representative was bumpin his gums about "Bad" words Id vote his ass out. THIS is what you spend your time thinking about?? Fuck off.

  • If you get paid for overtime, get paid vacation or even unpaid vacation time, have a retirement plan, get paid holidays, get health insurance through your workplace, and work in a safe environment, you can thank a union. Whether you have ever belonged to a union or not.

  • Cantor is a double-talking piece of shit.

    We all saw him on tv during the election dodging and redirecting questions about McCain like he was Neo from the Matrix.

    His use of this vid to make a political point does in fact make a great one. It demonstrates the utter contempt republicans have for the working class.

    Unless the only work you actually do is count your mountain piles of money, make no mistake, republicans DESPISE you and use ANY lame excuse like profanity to dehumanize you.

  • Cantor was a brilliant mathematician, probably the smartest of our time. Its disgusting how this kyke has sullied his name.

  • Eric Cantor was all for lining up votes for the Bush Wall Street "Bailout".

    It was reasonable because Cantor is still paid by a mortgage company & gets tons of contributions from banks & investment companies.

    Now, he gets all GOP members to oppose Barack's bill to help Main St.

    Cantor is up for election in 2010 & can be defeated if his opponent stresses that he works for Wall St & not Main St.

  • lol so much at this last night on the news this was only on MSNBC. .LOL PICK UP YOUR SHIT LOL LOL

    Republicans you got your head up your F##K ass .

  • The Republicans....what bunch of hypocritical power craving clowns. Their cause is a joke. They are nothing more than just powerless worms striped away from a nutritious apple. Funny thing is, they have all now turned into annoying house flies. All they are basically doing nowdays is getting in they way of much greater plans. Which of course, Their kind will not benefit from.

  • i guess Eric Cantor had his thumb up his ass

  • Americans vote with their wallets. Companies with powerful unions fail in the marketplace....entire industries have fallen in the USA because of powerful unions.

    Support mediocrity...vote pro union

  • A broad assertion backed by ZERO facts. Must be lead in your drinking water. You can thank Bush's EPA rollbacks for that.

    Randy

  • This video actually makes the union look cool. Of course the Republicans don't get that because they think all swearing is insult. If it's funny, done in a smart way, and creates a character, it's comedy and not offensive. At least not to the progressives. So the only thing they did was insult their own base and reveal their hypocrisy, which makes it even funnier.

  • Eric Cantor has a hard-on for Unicorns!

  • I'm proud to call myself a liberal. It means to be a supporter of liberty-as opposed to 'conservative' which means to conserve the power of those already in power.

  • Liberalism is a CANCER that is eating America alive. Conservatism is the RIGHT WAY, THE ONLY WAY and GODS WORD WILL and WAY because GOD HERSELF SAID SO! When Palin becomes POTUS, she will PUT AN END to Liberalism and Progressivism ONCE AND FOR ALL!

  • AND she will stamp out this "free speech" nonsense that allows liberals to erode God's perfect truth. When Palin is POTUS, the BIBLE will be the only textbook schoolkids need....in their homeschools....which will be supported by vouchers....which also come with coupons for discounts on guns....so we can save taxes on law enforcement....because we will all be deputized as God's militia against all things Leftist - even hands and feet...which saves $ on shoes & gloves.

  • are you retarded?  Cantor is . . .

  • God is imaginary, and you are as backward as a Klan rally.

    Randy

  • Roflmao GOP kills me LOL!!

  • Jarheads are a waste of semen.

  • im okay with that FoShizzle951, but ive done more in my past 3 years then you will ever do in your life...thats a fact

  • i say that from experience. I was in the USMC as well. 2/7 golf.

  • im guessing honorable discharge

  • and give i was in the USMC for 4 years, and you only 3, then according to your logic, I've done more in my life than you ever have. owned bitch!

  • what was your MOS

  • 0311

  • Rifleman...or in your case woman...alright

  • You're so smart. Must be why you get paid 1/10 what a private contractor makes for the same job you do.

    By the way, it is possible to put a pic of girl on a youtube and, yet, be a dude. I know, I know. Crazy world, right?

  • yea, but i didnt sign up for the money..and you should know not just anybody can become a private contractor. and yes this world did make you crazy

  • If Obama's plan is a fail. I am going to blame the President who led America to a war where trillions of dollars were already spent, A President who set up a jail that tortured many innocent human beings which is everything we stand against. A president who, let corrupt wall street idiots run the world economy into the ground. That is who I will blame. You want to do your same old tax cuts, go ahead, might as well throw in one of those "a hyuks" while your at it.

  • No, conservatism means supporting the power of the powerful. It makes sense being a conservative if you're rich, but they also need their quota of useful idiots like you to run around for them.

  • GOD? You are bringing GOD into this? You are hopeful. I don't know if your post is a big fat joke, which is what Sarah Palin is. Guess what, I laughed and I laughed when the Republicans chose Sarah Palin as VP. She is more stupid then a rock and more hypocritical than O' Reily (which is almost impossible). No, I never believed in God until I saw Obama. God has given us our messiah! WWOD? What Would Obama Do?

  • No, you are very wrong and mistaken. Obambi is NOT the MESSIAH! Sarah Palin IS THE MESSIAH! She IS GOD's CHOSEN ONE, GOD INCARNATE and the LIVING EMBODIMENT OF GOD HERSELF! Sarah Palin will save the world from complete total economic meltdown for she has the DIVINE POWER OF GOD HERSELF.

  • Palin won't even be running in 2012. So give up on her. The rest of the GOP has. Good-bye Palin thanks for the run. It was like a one night stand I guess (as they just met and and suddenly made her run for VP). Only I am not paying for her taxi ride home because she was TERRIBLE. Palin will never come close to the white house. HAHAHAHA BYE BYE PALIN!!

  • Oh yes she will run in 2012. Why the FUCK did she form SarahPAC? So she can become POTUS in 2012!

  • No the GOP is not going to let her run. Even if she did there is no way the public would ever vote for her. Sarah Palin is the sole reason why John Mccain lost so bad. HAHAHA

  • No one deleted your comments...Fucking moron.

  • yea i was wrong about that...fucking liberal

  • Liberal isn't an insult, but being a dumbass jarhead is. lawl

  • and when you actually go into the service...you can call marines jarheads

  • If you must know...

    Been there, done that. I've already been deployed to Iraq. My wife joined the Army last year. I'm a college student now. :P I don't get my info from Colbert or Stewart, I watch them for laughs same reason I listen to Hannity and Limbaugh, althought the humor you get out of Hannity and Limbaugh is more of the sick and morbid type. I don't have to ask anything about you however. Its pretty obvious that you're the typical right wing wannabe bad ass. Dime a dozen.

  • that was called being sarcastic....i didn't want to know

  • You must of wanted to know if you bothered to look on my channel page. Dreck.

  • ur comments r hilarious..

  • So that means us liberals can have at you fascists with a lead pipe when you call us liberals? Cool.

  • what do you do with your life besides dress up in charlie brown sweaters? watch the daily show, colbert report and msnbc for your political information?

  • eric cantor = epic fail

  • fuck eric cantor, this could not happen to a better guy...

  • I've got a hard on for MILFs

  • hilarious commercial...

    eric cantor....wow, what a dipshit

  • Eric Cantor...Stick a quarter in your ass cause you just played yourself.

  • make no mistake, the democrats so called "stimulus" bill does a lot more to expand goverment than it does to give America's ailing economy a much needed boost...Thanks liberals!

  • YOU fucked it up for 8 years lmao

  • And thats what happenens when you have people like the young turks around...they don't know what they are saying...just agreeing with the liberal media.....Thanks Obama

    160 million to pay "volunteers" at the Corporation for National and Community Service...what a joke

    45 million dollors for the removal of fish passage barriers...great thanks

    248 million dollors to buy furniture for the Department of Homeland Security.

    make no mistake, the democrats so called "stimulus" bill does

  • How much money goes into a runaway defense budget each year? lawl

  • about 700 billion total

  • Tack on 250 billion and you got the right number...

  • Unions are a part of the problem in America....and the fact that people voted in the very liberal Barack Obama. Liberal's have taken advantage of our nation's woes to ram through Congress the biggest spending bill in American history. The sad fact is people don't understand what they voted for. Only 15% of the massive spending increases in the Obama/Pelosi spending spree will take place in 2009. The remaining taxplayer dollors they plan to spend pay out over the next ten years!

  • 15% is still a lot of money. we don't have the financial resources to spend it in 1 yr

  • If Cantor and the Republicans think that funny commercial is going to make people anti-union he's crazy. If you look at the AFSCME parody commercial it actually makes people APPRECIATE UNIONS EVEN MORE. Lol. Seriously, read the comments for that video, most of the comments are pro-union.

    The one time a Republican is funny it just makes people take the opposite of the message they were trying to get across.

  • He did not make that video you A**. That video is funny as hell!!!! NOone knows who you are so quit whining you liberal baby!!!

  • I just woke up. I need to start the day with humor. This video is so good. The Republicans are  so stupid - go TYT!

  • I guess the joke is on Eric Cantor.

    It's like if Eric Cantor laid out a banana peel for somebody to slip on but he ended up slipping on it himself.

  • since when to unions work, every time i pass a consturction zone theres 5 guys watching 1 other guy hold a shovel. and then they comp
