Did John McCain Invent the Blackberry?

[sds606]

a canadian invented the blackberry

[lovejen01]

The left trying to make McCain look like the Republican version of Al Gore who invented he internet, but McCain was just making a joke and Gore was serious.

[kunned]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[bibblemethis]

God you "young turks" are so dumb. It was clearly a joke and the liberal media made it out to be this "big deal"...kind of like what you are doing? It's pretty damn obvious he didn't invent the blackberry. Come on guys...really? Are you that stupid? You lack credibility in practically all of your videos and fail to use logic as you discuss your politics. Pathetic.

[brokebastard]

We all know Republicans don't like anything black...they should have said McCain invented the "Whiteberry." That's more fitting for these racist right wingers.

[doggiestyle247]

i thought John McCain invented the GJ.JOE....

[movcrit]

I don't get it? Whats so important?

[retiredjunkie]

What a moron.. This joke was directly aimed at the REAL bone head comment made by Al Gore claiming that he invented the internet! Yeah look it up.. Gore was NOT kidding however, and it wasn't an advisor making an off-the-cuff comment. God, you libtards are always looking for a way to discredit conservatives, but it's pretty obvious that you only pay attention to one side of the media. That's why I get my information from a diverse range of sources.

[pubuman]

Wrong - loser!

[retiredjunkie]

Wow you definitely discredited me with your facts and references... ?

[pubuman]

Where were your facts and references?

[pubuman]

The story about Al Gore was widely discredited as an urban myth... idiot!

[bibblemethis]

@retiredjunkie

Dude. Give these retards a break. They're liberal. They're only good at talking about misconceived comments and speculation. Throw some facts or statistics at them and they're change the topic.

[AlphaDragonOmega]

I'm glad i'm an Iphone guy :)

[coc0puff]

WHERE IN THE world does one switch on a computer by pushing up ??? it was always a button... no??

[duhCider]

A better question would be: Did Rep. John Dingell invent the Dingellberry?

[u8290]

what his party worker said got to his lying reputation very well but it certainly created a dent in Mr. McCain's head for technological advances what is a marvel created by RIM now would have to accomodate him for this development so ironic

[Mjhavok]

John McCain invented the blackberry(the fruit). He is world's first genetic engineer 10,000 years ago lol. Way before Mendel. McCain is the father of genetics.

LuLz

[ectogamit]

Blackberry????? When did they say that? Dems must be desperate to latch onto something that wasn't even said. Talks about telecommunication innovation and that he HELPED create not Invent. Zero mention on of word INVENT or the word BLACKBERRY. Give me and the other halfway intelligent people out there a break. The guy in this video is a retard, do research before you speak.

[magicmattressride]

ectogamit says that the Mccain campaign never said this. On the contrary, dear idiot ectogamit: ""He did this," [spokesman] Holtz-Eakin informed them [holding up a Blackberry]. "Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years -- comes right through the Commerce Committee -- so you're looking at the miracle John McCain helped create, and that's what he did."

[ectogamit]

It confounds me how inept some Dem's can be. So what your saying is if someone pulled their wallet out of their pocket and held it up, and said: I passed a bill that lowered taxes thereby saving you money. That because they held the wallet up to illustrate, they must have meant they invented wallets or maybe money itself. If the aid had a I phone and help it up, then McCain would have invented I-phones. Good thing the aid didn't look at his watch, McCain would have invented watches, too. ?wow?

[thetpn]

So... um.... you really think that McCain knows anything about anything? I pity you.

[redstonefreedoms]

i pity the foo

[indianaike]

You do!? I can't believe the insight you brought us! Waitaminute... this is the same profound insight I've seen posted on a bajillion other videos! I'm starting to think you might not be entirely on the level, sir!

[Freecell82]

Jesus, you people giving McCain crap for this need to get your heads out of your asses. It's OBVIOUS the guy was talking about the fruit. I have no trouble believing that McCain invented blackberry bushes. He's old enough.

[HopelessIndecision]

1:32 & 1:47 Awesome! :-)

[Johnnewb]

I started watching these guys last week and getting their podcasts...they are spot on!!!

[jackarthurwinn]

cenk, you are great.

[hassleoffa]

Isn't RIM a Canadian company?

Waterloo, Ontario Canada .... maybe McCain is secretly Canadian ... smoking pot, drinking 7% alcohol beer, hanging out with french strippers ... fuck me ... I'm going to Canada!

[HugeJohn51]

it's awesome here! it's just like that!

[hassleoffa]

Yes it is! I've been there many times. More Americans need to go north for a visit. They need to see first hand all the "Socialism" ... If the worst thing that happens is we become a little more like Canadians ... sounds good to me.

[onecelticwarrior]

No,Al Gore did

[countess16]

1) I JUST LOVE, LOVE, LOVE theYoungTurks! TY!!

2) I can't believe I'm saying this, but I now believe that John McCain is dumber than George Bush...didn't think that was possible...LOL!

[Assualt]

you guys are great :P keep it going!

[morten123456789]

cenk you make me laugh so much! i just love the way you put the republicans down *laughs* i love the TYT!

[nia0nia]

where's the girl gone? i liked her

[TeamF1Jr]

According to the Citzens Against Gov't Waste they scored the candidates with 100 being the best score, 0 being the worst, Obama has a rating of 18, McCain has a rating of 88. You have to ask yourself if this is the change we want in Washington.

[writemrbond]

He just figured that McPain had already gotten away with so many lies that it wouldn't matter. I mean, if people can believe that McPain will regulate Wallstreet after DEREGULATING IT FOR 25 YEARS they will believe anything!

[azelaer]

0:45 the pic of McCain

look at him, he's SO OLD!

WTF!? and you want HIM as the next president?

[videocmmtr]

Way to pull an Al Gore, McCain.

[siavash89]

cenk funniest turk ever

[fredsmithvideo]

Are you an idiot? That isn't what he said. You got to stop believing the media.

The actual quote (while stupid) is this (I heard the audio):

Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years, comes right through the Commerce Committee. So youre looking at the miracle John McCain helped create and thats what he did.

[vetrean]

Right, said while holding up the Blackberry as an example and telling the audience to look at it.

Not that that means he's saying John McCain invented the Blackberry, but it's a stupid choice by any means.

[mashoutposse]

Gore never claimed to "invent" the internet, yet he was ridiculed for it relentlessly. It's not fair, but that's the game.

[OrganCat]

No, he invented the actual black-berry that you eat. Right after he suggested that God invent dirt.

[naturalmystic33]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

waaaaa chaaa Blackberry!

[RecessMonkeys]

I'm tellin' ya, he meant BooBerry. The cereal. Look at the box. McCain's picture's on the front.

[brothermoon]

you guys are so dense you can't even detect satire. it was a joke out of humor, something your videos fail to have an ounce of.

[eirefrance]

Whose more bone-headed: DeSean Jackson or this advisor?

[eirefrance]

Who's*

[heatherbug7226]

why would we vote in a man who doesnt know how to turn on a PC?

[swaggajee]

Man, I really hope that this turns into a "Gore invented the Internet" type of thing. Except that there was some truth to Gore inventing the Net and McCain can't even turn on a computer.

[swaggajee]

What does it say about the McCain campaign when the advisors that they choose are as boneheaded and outright retarded like this one?

[Williamkurk]

McCain can't even use email!

That picture of him is hilarious, cause he looks like he's farting, cause he's that old that he farts all the time.

We gotta thank McCain for the blackberry, because he invented something that is a cell phone/pda device with internet created by AL GORE. G'Yeah, RIGHT!

[Idler81643]

So Palin invented ice-hockey? or lipsticks?

[sisforshayla]

hahaha, i just found this channel yesterday, love love love it!! keep up the awesome work!

[lorenzo8500]

If John McCain invented the Blackberry, then Al Gore invented the internet. Im not joking lol.

[shaqLegend08]

ha ha ha lol

this dude cracks me up sometimes

"jetus su ahhh blackberry"

great work cenk both on humour and political views

[pwg357]

No it's true. He also invented the dingleberry and of course the cocoberry.

Furthermore McCain personally oversaw the invention of fire, the wheel, and sliced bread.

[flrbase1]

It is because he won't use a computer is the reason why I would not vote for him. Seventy two is not that old, especially when you are active. Therefore I conclude he just resistant to change and won't try anything new. That why he is a cold warrior, eventhough the Cold War is over. He dependent on someone telling him rather than figuring out himself. He lacks, like Bush, an intellectual curiosity.

[ectogamit]

flrbase1, He doesn't use a computer because both his shoulders were broken and was not given proper medical treatment as a prisoner of war. He can't lift his arms very high and therefore difficult to use a keyboard. only thing he lacks is full mobility of his arms. you should do research of the subject matter before you talk. So basically you refuse to vote for him because he served his country above and beyond, thats real sweet of you.

[flrbase1]

Actually I am not voting for McCain because he is a Republican and at 72 and a cancer survivor chose an toatal idiot as VP. But the war hero thing is lame. God Blessfor McCain serving his country but we are talking about being President and his inabilty to grasp change is his downfall. Look at the debate Friday, he was still talking about the Cold War. This Cold Warrior need is still fighting Vietnam. God Bless but no way no McCain

[jrockdeepvibes]

he does not use a computer because his shoulders were broken and was not given proper M.A? BS u can send an email without raising your arms high wait you can even put the keyboard on your lap if you wanted, our he could use a blackberry like the one he invented. that only requires one hand and a thumb!

[ectogamit]

Oh, I see you must be a MD specializing in Physical Therapy that has personally examined his mobility using your isometric and Isokinetic equipment, i personally like Cybex myself, very impressive you did that... if it were true. And the fact that you mention the Inventing the Blackberry thing proves you don't have the intelligence to be a doctor. Only a idiot would think anyone said that and McCain for sure in no way shape or fashion said or implied anything of the sort.

[jrockdeepvibes]

Well, i see that you are quite bothered by this stupid comment page,and Yes I have my very own isometric and Isokinetic epuiptment considering I am a MD(like you said)lol, that did not examine mc caine. and I never said he said he invented the BB its just funny how you are so defensive over a very distorted comment.

[jrockdeepvibes]

sending an email is not hard only a idiot cant send an email, considering there is an olympics for handicapped I think John McCaine should be able to send an email since he running for president.

[jrockdeepvibes]

Only an Idiot would pay attention to something like this and the fact that you tried so hard to let people know his severe problem makes you an idiot because, why even bother? by the way I study Neuroscience IDIOT!

[ectogamit]

Your funny, but not a good liar & not an MD (you worded something incorrect for an MD). Whats that Brand & serial # on your machine? Depending on the brand I could look it up. An average machine would cost way more than what over 90% of the population make in a year, why on earth would anyone have a personal one? Come on, and you said "he could use a blackberry like the one he invented" So don't contradict yourself. And you seemed to pay attention to this also so, you admit your a idiot! nice :P

[ussick]

Isokinetic equipment? I have one (bought it on sale and gave the rest of the money to the Obama campaign). The brand and serial # is ID 10 T.

[dundura123]

when JC was talking about his lack of computer skills and internet use...he was not talking about a physical disability...

[JBeatty17]

Welcome to the 21st Century, John. Computer Basics 101 is on the second door to your left. No, your other left.

[snipzor]

I thought it was a Canadian invention. Oh I should have known it was a technologically retarded senator that created it.

[exoticbronze]

Given how shamelessly 'blackberry' McCain and 'teleprompter' Palin have let out 'maverick' lies, come November the only blackberries they would be left licking would be Obama's - besides their own bruised egos.

[101Frenchkisses6]

ROLF

[1mediaseeker]

LOL! Oh, my god...Cenk...Made me laugh, right outta my chair! McCain vs. Blackberry---oh, man...TOO funny!

[stafax]

this made me laugh so hard that I farted

[ogjimkenobi]

Lol, I highly doubt that McCain even knows how to use a Blackberry.

[Prometheus3641]

or what a bleackberry is.

[chinojk]

wow look at these dumb comments eating this up...

[Voodooray007]

straight up! McCain is a lying son of a bitch!

[Rata4You]

The BLACKBERRY is a Canadian invention...it's a Canadian product and always will be.

McCain isn't Canadian nor was born American...he's born in Latin America.

[denicci1977]

LOL he probably thought they were talking about the fruit !

[TheTriumph]

He was probably the 1st to harvest it, back in 1600's somewhere :)

[josh22922]

haha good one.

[luvangel330]

"Ammature hour at camp McCain

[Joeweed68]

Yeah! Mccain sucks! Go Dems! Back and fourth, back and fourth. Wake up sheeple.

[tidusquall10x]

Fuck McCain

[souldragon24]

Damn the repubs are sound more and more stupider lately.. they say mccain invented the balckberry.. and now palin has some sort of depression, and thats way she has a tanning bed in her home.. talk about JUDGEMENT MAKING....

[TokyoNiGHTS1]

The McCain campaign has become so accustomed to lying that now they're moving onto minor things. You've also had Palin claiming that the teleprompter went out during her RNC speech so she just had to go on her own at that point. This was proven false by several sources.

I guess it says a lot about how McCain's campaign thinks of their supporters that they feel that they can keep lying to them and they'll sit and smile and clap for them.

[therealdudeguy1234]

McCain is so fucking retarded.

[craigdavid00]

john mcmoron cant find his ass using both hands...let along invent the blackberry

[RUKiddinMeHuh]

McCain is Sofa King We Todd ID.

[alexthebklynkid]

lol awesome video.
