  • im not a muslim nor christian..im a human being thats all

  • fuck jesus christ with a rubber dildo up his faggot commie criminel ass he got off to easy

  • @theRekcabofD Why should Christians have not tolerated the paganism of the Roman empire? The pagans were there first. If anything, shouldn't the pagans have tried to suppress the cult of an undead Rabbi?

  • This guy is a idiot!!!

  • Is this guy a homosexual. ? ? Is the black guy his lover ?  Some say that most Turks are gay. They go both ways.

  • @3877michael You are a fucking asshole Michael...history is littered with heroic homosexual warriors, kings and leaders. You really need to row up. Whats with this "Is he homosexual" shit?? This is utterly utterly horse crap, grow up

  • @filthykafur Oh ! I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I did not know you were a Muslim. On offense Muslims and homosexuals are cool.

  • @barnstormer601

    You mean, "for fear of retaliation AGAINST THE UNITED STATES!" IDT Biden's worried for his *personal* safety, after all, the secret service is FAR - some idiot w/a razor blade and exploding underwear, he's worried for his COUNTRY. You know, to protect the TROOPS from retaliation -- that same bullshit Bush used to stifle criticism of himself, only this time for HONEST reasons!

  • I guess it depends if Joe Biden considers himself a Christian or not? If he does, well he violated a commandment, "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain."

    and that would be between him and God. But I guarantee you he wouldn't say "Ala" or "Muhamad" for fear of retaliation. It's easy for cowards to disrespect those who pose no threat to them or know won't hurt them.

  • Jesus Christ.

  • Jayar Jackson coolest Christian ever besides myself of coarse

  • YOURE A FUCKING TOOL MOST OF THE TIME.

    IM NOT CHRISTIAN, BUT I CAN SEE YOUR HYPOCRISY CLEARLY ....HOW CAN YOU NOT ?.....AND YOU DO KNOW MUZZIES WOULD HAVE A COW OVER IT .

  • Know what I'd say to this guy upset over Biden saying Jesus ? Ok, fine - lose your tax exepmt status - chip in like the rest of us. Then you can meddle in our politics.

  • Joe Biden has great hair plugs.

  • is there a real thing called "hate speech"? are there some words we cant say?

  • @foxworth1313

    Nigger and Gook come to mind. those are racial slurs generally used by skinheads and far right psychos.

  • @NUTCASE71733 those words only have as much meaning as you put in them, i support free speech no matter how much you dislike a word. and by the way the far left such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao are the "pychos", skinheads are not right-wing, they are socialist leftists. get your facts right or you just sound stupid.

  • The difference between a normal person and people like Hitler or Stalin is that the latter were insane. Hitler was taking medication during the war, and apparently down the line he was overdosing which lead to the increasing violence he was responsible for. and dealing with the likes of Hitler was bound to drive the communist mindset of Stalin nuts. You can't call left-wing folks "Hitler" because things are so far to the right anithing that isn't right is considered "evil" by republicans.

  • @NUTCASE71733 Hitler was a leftist that believed in total government control, similar to alot of democrats today. Lincoln and Fredrich Douglas were republicans

  • @foxworth1313

    Lincon was a liberal. He beleived in pretty much what democrats beleive today. The reason why democrats want more governemtn is to regulate businesses, which the republicans (who are in the corporations' back pocket nowadays) let go out of control leading to the mess in the present. Theodore Roosavelt was republican but he beleived in government regulation of business to keep companies from ripping people off, and it worked very very well for a long time. Why get rid of that?

  • @foxworth1313 Big government Democrats are owned by the same corparations you claim the republicans are owned by.

  • @foxworth1313 did you just reply to yourself?

  • @NUTCASE71733 Cracker and Whitey come to my mind also as being hate speech.

  • TYT are so slanted, no one ever heard about a "hate speech". In english. This "show" spent 5 minutes on trying to make somthing out of nothing.

  • @jared7087

    The people making something out of nothing are people who are offended by absolutely everything, including the nut jobs who thought in this case that Jesus Christ was used as a part of a hate speech. I do however agree that this isn't even worth 5 minutes of discussion.

  • JR is a Christian?! Wow I didn't even think they would employ a Christian on here. I'm glad to see that I am fully represented on this program, makes me love it even more.

  • Happy Easter Jesus = Love!!!

  • You do not use the name of our Lord loosely, it is wrong. I can't say the comment was used as hate speech, Joe just has a potty mouth.

  • there are things that i definitely dont agree with in christian faith

    and this is one of those things

  • the conservative can always sees everything but there racisms.

  • Comment removed

  • Blasphemy = Hate Speech huh?

    Jesus Christ!!! This goddamn nonsense is fucking ridiculous.

  • jesus christ! the whole debate is rediculous! cenk is right

  • fake

  • Yeah I think its funny that they say that saying JESUS CHRIST is hate speech when you look at FUEX news channel and listen to their hate mongering bullshiot all day long and then wonder why you got some RIGHT WING CRAZIES such as the BIRTHERS, AKA "True Christians", RACIESTS, and the other scum of the country with their HITLER protests signs and their guns openly around their waists and then say that HE is preaching hate COME ON!!!

  • if you want to listn about hate go listen Sean hannity,and other far right nuts

  • I second that!

  • Comment removed

  • @jared7087 - could you please translate that comment to english?

  • yes but a cartoon made by danish man was given death threats...if they deserve soooo much respect so do other religions

  • just goes to show that if you are a christian, people hate you.

  • @jared7087 - i am trying to tell if you are being sarcastic or not...

  • Comment removed

  • when has he ever stated "a liberal writer" or "a liberal publication" had this been someone who agrees with him, he would have to preface the writer or the publication. To state what type of writer or publication you are coming from is to immediatly create a fan base to discredit the column.

  • "Jesus Christ" in that context is just a phrase.

    How is that "hate speech"?

  • The end has been coming for over 2 thousand years, quick my ass

  • wrong

  • my fav is "jesus tits"

  • The real story here is that Biden spread the falsehood about Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon while saying nothing about the hundreds of illegally obtained and uninspected nukes

  • Republicans: beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt.

  • @shaneisgayful - you sound like you are addicted to stupidity...

  • @jacksager924 I'm pretty sure getting admitted into Harvard as well as Emory U means that I'm actually pretty god damn smart. Sounds like you spend too much time on the computer and play WoW all day long.

  • @shaneisgayful - damn dude. you schooled me. you are obviously far superior in intellect, being accepted to harvard and emory... and me here with a lowly associates from herzing college. this still does not belie the fact that your statement sounded retarded. your statement did nothing to contribute to the ongoing discussion. sorry that i found it stupid. and for your info, i do not play WoW. i play first person shooters...

  • @jacksager924 Thank you. And I agree, my comment was stupid. The only reason I posted this comment was because many liberals make really, really stupid accusations, thus, I gave them a taste of their own medicine. The young turks really make me angry as they try to make fun of people and make them look bad rather than actually analyzing what's going on.

  • "the lord's name in vain"

    But they fail to comprehend what Vain means. It means Vanity.

    Using it as Vanity would be something like saying "I'm better than Jesus Christ."

    THAT would be "in vain."

    Using it as an exclamation has Nothing to do with vanity.

  • Jesus Christ, christians are stupid.

  • You hate your parents.

  • Go to Hell stupid ass

  • I would if it existed.

  • the N word is not hate speech the only thing that should be hate speech is threats toward someone or some group. As well as promoting violence against said person or group.

    Every thing else should be covered under free speech, and this is coming form a liberal, and were i live that's a party not a bad word.

  • It is some guy from the second most popular newspaper in Washington who is obviously some extreme right winger and not what the general right wing views as wrong.

  • somethings aren't even worth talking about or reporting...WHO CARES!!! these damn conservatives are destroying EVERYTHING...ugh... Obama 12!

  • What if he said, "Holy faggot, batman!"?

    The fat Turk should realize that it was his liberal buddies that started the entire political correctness trend. Seems kind of hypocritical to complain about it now.

  • We don't say Holy Mohammad...your ignorant Turkish piece of shit....we say Prophet Mohammad. You should know better, but you proved yourself as an idiot

  • Listen to Jayar Cenk.

    Listen to Jayar.

  • hellz yea..1up for agnostics

  • I love it.the guy on his staff opposes him and has to educate him so he stutters through the rest of the video.That's funny.this guy is such a nerd.

  • @dirty1223 - yeah, and he could have just as easily edited that out, but he didn't... that takes balls, man.

  • it is not even about Jesus, it's about the fact that Biden thinks America is no longer the leader of the free world. If he had used the name Muhammod THEN LIBERALS WOULD TEAR HIM TO PIECES, the race card is brought up REPEATEDLY by the liberals.. WHY?!?! does this guy hear the saying, "do not use the lord's name in vain" and then proceed to offer alternatives to the same exact saying and call it hilarious?... In your own words sir, "C'mon now hate speech, that's a bit much now don't it? hehe."

  • Average salary for Insurance Company CEO, $10 million dollars per year:

    Health Insurance profits for 2008 was over $60 Billion dollars, (Billion with a B)

    They made these profits by utilizing terms such as Preexisting Conditions, and dropping those that cost too much to care for.

    (Rick Scott from Columbia/HCA) Google his name and read this insurance horror story.

    Someone please tell me of another industry profiting off the ills of Americans?

  • how about... the banking industry!

  • Im a christian right wanger fo show...but protecting free speech is much more important than sombody being offended by useing Christs name in vain...free speech is important....lets keep it sensible folks...but this is not more ridiculas than some of the things the left has called hate speech...both are guilty of being jackasses if ya ask me...if I were to say Turk here is a jackass, turdmerchant arrogant little boy , it would be my constituional right to do so..and I just did

  • I sure as fuck hope Biden doesn't end up president! This is why I am afraid some right-winger with his head on not quite straight will try to assassinate BHO. If someone kills Obama, we are even worse off with Biden. If he happens to take out both Obama and Biden, we are double dog royally fucked, because Nancy motherfucking minghag Pelosi will be chilling in the oval office. Personally, I think thats the only reason someone hasn't yet. God I hate this administration.

  • "Your not sopposed to use itin that context!"

    ~~

    WHO FUCKING SAYS NOT?

    JESUS fucking CHRIST..

    ..who's gonna do anything about that?

    Moron.

  • I'm an atheist, but it does say in the bible that you are not to take the lords name in vain. If you consider yourself a Christian, you should probably follow your said religion's doctrine.

    Oh, and I personally prefer "Jesus tittyfucking christ!"

    If looks could kill, I'd be dead 1,000 times over from saying it in mixed company.

  • Get over it birther. I don't like where we're going but please.

  • I hate having to respect people's religions. It's fucking stupid. Religious indoctrination is based around absurd belief systems, and are technically optional. Equating "religious tolerance" with having to respect race or sexual orientation is patently absurd.

  • You don't have to respect it. I think you need to respect certain religious people, since alot of them are actually good people who just have skewed views. But I have no respect for their views when it comes to religion. I have friends who are religious, but I stand in awe at what they actually believe in.

  • It's not hate speech it's blasphemy and also he's pathetic.

  • It's blasphemy, not hate speech. Blasphemy is a victimless crime.

  • I can't believe that there are some people on here taking this serious. I'm with Cenk. This is a non-story. Typical conservative b.s. as usual.

  • Whoever gave you 6 thumbs down needs to get fucked. You're so right.

  • That Catholic used the Lords name in vein.

    Charge Biden with a "hate crime".............hahahah

  • You should read Thomas Sowell Mr. "Young Turk".

    And damn, would you wear a tie one of these days? At least our sickening politicians look good running the country into the ground. You should look good advocating for it.

    Biden thinks Obama the first clean, articulate black man to ever run for President! Jesse Jackson was outraged! Al Sharpton was outraged! Alan Keyes was unavailable for comment.

  • God damn Jesus H fucking Christ...how dare Biden take the lords name in vain!!!

    And what the fuck does the H stand for anyway? Homer? Hercules? Horatio? Harry? Henry? Hesus?

  • The words used really don't matter. It all goes back to intent. If you substitute "cheese and crackers" for "Jesus Christ!" used as an expletive, then the intent is still in the mind.

    "Hate speech" is a made-up concept, that comes almost directly from George Orwell's novel "1984." In the novel, there was right thought and wrong thought, un-people, etc, etc,....

    Freedom of speech has become a myth, in our own time.

    Was the original comment in any way derogatory of any person or group? no.

  • so wait, im a muslim and there is there is the same question asked by younger ppl grown accustomed to saying the f word, or Dam n, etc. So wat words can we say that shows anger and relieves that burst of frustration. I mean if its all about the intent, then are we supposed to hold it in. Like wat i mean is if u hit u stubb ur toe, then are u supposd to say nothing, or make up some funny word like "fudge." If we make up new words to use then won't they become profanity later on just like cursing?

  • How about fuck jesus? or fuck god? or fuck mohammad?

  • Actually, all that shows is a lack of intelligence.

    If they were real people, they're gone.

    (to say god is a fuckable person REALLY shows a lack of thinking) Likewise, if you're one of those people who say they were never real? then, what are you fucking? Your imagination, which we've all come to know as self induced homosexuality. (boy, THAT's gonna get some attention, eh?) OK, call it masturbation, if you're homophobic. But, the bare truth is, if it's the same sex as what's in your hand, then,

  • You made me LOL.

  • Two points I think should be added:

    1) How can "Jesus Christ" be "hate speech" against Christians, when so many Christians use this phrase all the time?

    (Maybe they aren't being very good Christians by doing so, but that's not the point.)

    2) Joe Biden is a Catholic. Does anyone really think he "hates" Christians? Because then he would have to hate himself.

  • Jesus said a person could use his name, or his father's name and it didn't nmatter.

    BUT to blaspheme the Holy Spirit is wrong.

    So, scientists would call it hate speech, christians would call it blaspemy, both are wrong.

    First, if one believes in the CREATOR, they would also realize that the CREATOR doesn't give a rat's ass. If one doesn't believe, then there's nothing to hold onto to criticize.

    Jesus, what the heck have these moonbeam christians and scientists come to, anyway!

  • Scientists? What scientists are you referring to?

  • when christians hear "Jesus christ!" the call is 'blasphemy.

    When scientists hear "Jesus christ!" they say it's hate speech.

    Didn't I write that in the comment?

    I try to be as comprehensive as possible (considering the 500 character limit, which, I might add, is sadly short)

  • ArtThroughtheAges, I agree. The 500 character limit is too short. Now, I don't see why someone is so hung up on Biden saying "Jesus Christ". There is plenty of much more serious opposition to Christianity out there, and they're going after Biden, a Catholic?! Trivial matter, to say the least.

  • Christians.. That is absolutely ridiculous..

  • Sadly, we're going to start seeing "blasphemy laws," where committing blasphemy will be a crime punishable by imprisonment. Religion is losing its grip. Get ready to see it behave much like the RIAA. They can't innovate, so they litlgate.

    People need to get thicker skins, for this world is heading for increasingly more difficult times. We have WAY MORE IMPORTANT issues with which to be concerned.

    Go believe in your god, keep it to yourself, and don't go punishing others.

    Jesus Katie Christ!

  • JR's right. It's being said in vain of the Lord's name, but it's not necessarily hate speech. I can understand someone being offended, but it's not hate speech. There's a line called "logic".

  • Disingenuous much? The sound engineer should be the anchor, and vice versa.

  • Republicans have become sub-pathetic.

  • guess ill start using peoples names and last names whenever i feel like swearing, ill yell out there first and last name because it sounds good for cursing

  • I've tried to use Herbert H. Hoover instead of Jesus H. Christ, but it doesn't work for me LOL

  • It doesn't sound like it was used as a curse word but an exclamation.

  • Blasphemy, breakind one of Gods commandments

  • By Jehova

    can you believe these conservatives??

  • I'm offended >:3

  • isnt joe biden a christian?

  • Who gives a shit what's he said, you r a waste of time.....barcking all the time to say nothing, why don't you try to track issues and bring in debates people benifit from it.

  • THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HATE SPEECH:

    Fuck you rag head. Why don't you go martyr yourself cause that the only way your people think you can get into "heaven"...

  • The columnist was being a FOOL

    As a Christian I recognize what he means to say; I.E. people can say Jesus Christ or god damn & no one is begging for an apology but had Biden said something that Muslims/Blacks/Gays found offensive he would have been whipped like a mule by EVERYONE.

    As a black person & a Christian I know that hes got a point but if your gonna make it at least get it right & spark a proper debate

    Instead he used it to try & bash Biden/Obama/democrats thus ruining the message

  • now im not sure about hate speech, but I do see what direction he is trying to go with this. Yet on the other hand you cant get offended by every soul on tv that says something and act like its something much bigger than it is.

  • He didn't "mention Jesus' name" he cursed using Jesus' name.

    It's not hate speech, it's blasphemy

  • Jesus Christ! Joe Biden cracks me up!

    HaHaHa! You gotta love him!

  • It may be blasphemy, but it's not hate speech.

  • something tells me that Jesus wouldn't have minded...

  • Fuck the religious bastards.

  • Biden is a moron. President obama should never have chosen this idiot. Put him in his cage before he hurts our country further

  • that is not using gods name in vain. saying "i am working through god", thats using gods name in vain

  • Jesus H. Christ I'm sick of religious assholes. Fuck religion, jesus, mohammed, and all the other ridiculous, primitive nonsense.

  • fuck you. If you dont like it who cares.

  • Poor widdle baby! Did someone step on your suckie blanket? Quit eating your boogers, it's almost lunch time.

  • Jayar has is down once again. He should have his own show!

  • I thought JR was a smart man. obviously not.

  • Okay with all of the garbage that comes out of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity people think that THIS is hate speech?

  • CENK IS HOT!

  • This guy is an idiot. Does he get paid for this?

  • Stop being such a pussy Cenk. You're an atheist. Be proud and stop calling yourself an agnostic.

  • I second that.

  • This is ridiculous.

  • yeah right, Joe biden is a Zionist he'd never talk down to the Jews .

  • lol

  • I thought Biden said something like 'All jews suck' or something of that nature!

  • This is were the conservatives show their ignorance. If they are going to take offense when their deity's name is used in vain (God/Jesus/Allah/Odin,etc, etc) they should pass a law not to allow people and/or pets to be named after those deites. How many scumbags are on jail serving time for murder that are called Jesus, Moses, etc, etc? Isn't that more offensive to their deity? A reasonable person can see right thru this cheap conservative scheme.

  • those same Christians who say its hate speech would probably fight for the right to call something "gay"

  • Peas and Rice!

  • fuck Jesus ass fuck Mohammed Cleveland Steamer Buddha Dry hump Thor, Rim Job Ganeesh, Fist Fuck Zeus .......

    ok I feel better

  • Well there is: "holy smokes", "holy cow", "holy Moses". All of these are some form of a derogatory remark.

    Shut the front door!

  • The liberal biase concerning this video is ridiculous. If anyone tries to give a substantive and logical explanation for why someone might be offended by such phrases, people bash it and give it an automatic thumbs down without thinking. Seemingly only giving it such just because it's a view opposite of theirs. On the other hand you say something like "Jesus Titty F*ing Christ" it's a hit! Go ahead and give this post a thumbs down and prove me right.

  • Brown is completely right. Your not using the lord's name in vain if you say "jesus christ" or "gOd Damn It!"

  • TYT, do you guys not remember having a religious scholar on your show that said "using the lords name in vain" really means not committing crimes/ mass murder/ act of hate/ sins in the name of jesus.

  • Cheese & Crackers? Thought it was Cheese & Rice?

  • It's inappropriate, it's mildly offensive to Christians... It's not hate speech, or anything close to it. It's not meant to be derogatory to Christians by any means.

  • Cenk is right! conservatives are looking for a reason to scream hate speech.

  • I remember when he was on Bill Maher he talked about beating up someone who acted indifferent towards christianity. You know, if people didn't swear by Jesus they wouldn't think of him as much, which is fine by me. Blasphemy is a victimless crime. Du Som Hater gud.

  • what he said, was "profane" but not hate speech....

  • there is no difference. there is no difference when saying "damn it", and saying "dang it". terms like "dang" and "gosh" are just replacement words used to allow those that claim the "moral high ground" to curse as the "sinful" people would. didnt jesus say on the the sermon on the mount, that even if you THINK about committing a sin, then you may as well HAVE committed it. saying 'dang it" but FEELING/THINKING "damn it" is JUST as bad. screw christianity's dogma.

  • In a Christian sense he was "taking the lords name in vain" but stating that Biden was being hateful towards all Christians in general by doing so is ridiculous. Dude objecting to it definitely comes off looking like an ass, it's just really reaching for something to get all panties in a knot about.

  • Biden is Catholic. Swearing in the breech is hardly hatin' on Christians.

  • Jesus Christ, the Conservative right is fucking stupid

  • Christianity's Greatest Gift To America Is Tolerance? Bull Fucking Shit. Christians Are Some Of The Most Ignorant People Ever To Walk This Earth. Remember, They (Used To) Kill People For Having Different Beliefs And Opinions.

  • Just like the muslims in the modern world. Hypocrite.

  • ya i admit that was pretty bad, that just means they weren't true christians and they may as well burn in hell for breaking Gods murdering commandment

  • I hate your Arab, terrorists supporting ass!!!!

  • What does this mean?

  • If you're referring to Vice President Biden's usage of the Jesus Christ, in that pretense it's used to bring emphasis to a person's statement. Sorta' like with profanity, only it sounds more...friendly. I don't agree with it's usage, but I surely don't agree that it's "hate speech".

  • They expect people in those positions to be "politically correct". To me it just shows he's not reading from a TelePrompter, and I like that. Not that I'm a fan of Biden.

  • Hey BidenFan,

    Biden is a hard core pro-war, pro-war-on-terror, pro-Homeland Security, pro-Banker, pro-Credit Card Company, pro-zionist, pro-war profiteer. He is probably the most crooked Democrat of the last 20 years.

    Biden is Dick Cheney to Obama's Bush.
