  • i don't agree with your views but i can agree that everybody has the right to speak no matter what you views are and every human being deserves their respect.

  • Rove should have been lynched.

    He has lowered the quality of political discourse based on some skillful manipulation of psychology and using these facts to manufacture and manipulate perceptions of people opposed to whoever he is working for.

    Rove tactics include fabrications like the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth and other such contrived concoctions. Rove is an anti-intellectual in the worst sense of the term.

    I really think he should have been lynched.

  • Who made The Young Turk a f*cking authority?

  • @durbansouthafrica

    Quiet South African dog fucker ... find fault with their arguments or shut the fuck up.

  • Rove is a walking piece of shit !

  • @MrSafetymeeting

    I agree he is. He elevated the art of media manipulation and manufacturing consent to a high art form, at the expense of the media to inform the American people objectively about the challenges and decisions they must make as a nation.

    In that sense this dog cumshot of a man has irreparably damaged the ability of Americans to make sound decisions because of the new lows and smear tactics he has pioneered.

  • I ROFLED all over myself when Rove said they were hypocritical:P

  • I understand Cenks point but he was a little too soft on Rove. Karl Rove IS a fucking criminal and one of the most disgusting people ever in American politics. Seriously. Not to mention a traitor because of Valerie Plame. He's a fat troll that deserves much worse.

  • Lol@Rove trying to use this as an example that the left have no respect for opposite opinions. Because we've never seen groups of conservatives shout at or heckle any dems. Ever.

  • I'm no fan of Rove, but where is all the anti-war protesting from Code Pinko since Obama's been in office? The war is still going on, innocents are still dying, drone attacks daily. ......so where's the outrage? I guess Code Pink is too busy talking with the Taliban to care about the deaths of dead children.

  • of course since this is a left wing loon organization, like TYT and all libs that hate America, what they say or do is just fine with the idiot left.

  • @cam1126 You know that TYT was mostly defending Rove in this video. Did you watch it?

  • I am Republican and I agree with what he said 100%. Well said.

  • Would you sit down and have a discourse with a murderer? I think not. His responsibility lies in causation my friend. The fact that this man is free selling books for money is far better than he deserves.

  • If You Love AMERICA then vote dislike on every TYT video! They are the most uneducated group of individuals who so want to be professional but are so FARRRR from what it takes to be professional! They do NOTHING but promote bogus propaganda over and over again, polluting this nation!

    A Vote Thumbs Down On TYT's Is A VOTE FOR AMERICA!

  • @Mixman77 you are a fucking idiot

  • @Mixman77 You're a trailor boy - part of the Beck-Limbaugh sheeple.

  • wow Cenk , finally we see a little common ground.

  • Gotta love Karl Rove's dedication. The man has good moral principle's and stands tall.

    Call it blood money, or whatever. I "Hope" he makes million$.

  • cenk, what are you? a shill?? when did the man ever change his ways by being asked nicely? YOUR country is in the eyes of world opinion a war criminal and your call for civil debate is about 7 years to late, your play on the left/right paradigm is a fucking joke and everything that's great about your country is destroyed daily by NOT having bush/cheney/rove et al LOCKED THE FUCK UP!

  • Cenk's so wrong on this. Social change doesn't come by being nice and well-behaved. And you cannot expect people to have respect for a system that has failed them...repeatedly. Cenk is the typical armchair activist, telling protestors how to act but never risking anything himself. Disappointing and banal.

  • I guess political shenanigans have consequences

  • "totally ruined the country"....what a stupid lil bitch

  • @jjames9826 Rove was culpable in the destruction that took place during the thuggish Bush years. Together, those traitors almost ruined us. Usurped the Constitution, illegally invaded a sovereign nation (and destroyed it), got 4000 young Americans murdered and countless Iraqis. Rove was Bush's brain...now he's trying to revise history.  Ain't gonna work.

  • Ok so when liberals protest something they feel passionate about (like this heckling thing) its free speech, but when conservatives do it (i.e. Tea Party), they're hatemongers. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Pot calling the kettle black.

  • @plutarch78 Well, I didn't hear this woman use any racial epithets..nor was she carrying any sign depicting hitler, nazis. She called forth the truth about this traitorous man - loudly and proudly. I'll bet if she was interviewed, she could explain rationally and clearly what her issues are and why she did it. TBaggers haven't a clue when asked...they just mumble something about socialism.

  • I'd be from the "slapaho" tribe...

  • What they did is NOT out of line. This country gets things done when its citizens ban together and protest, THAT is what this country was originally made from. Right now the corporations and the government think of us common citizens as useless retarded idiots to manipulate. They think "we the people" are dumb, and they think that they can manipulate us. They dont care about petitions and what not. ACTION. They are afraid of us giving ACTION, which is what "we the people" need to respond with.

  • Damn it, code pink! I hate them so much. They make the rightwing look good by comparison. They're so ineffectual. Look at how Rove takes advantage of the situation. They played right into his hands. All they needed to do was keep asking him questions publicly to discredit him.

    Heckling is the least of what needs to happen to him. You have to do it fucking right though.

  • Why would I want dialogue with a war criminal? I'd rather see him in prison.

  • We would like to thank Acorn for showing up and harassing Mr. Rove. You can now go back to scamming the government.

  • Cenk you seem to think that we all need to play it by the book and somehow that that's going to lead to social justice...well that just won't work when you got men not only exploiting the system but DEFINING the system to suit their own ends, and sacrificing the 'expendable' little people whenever it helps their cause...Liberals have relied on non-violent resistance...in other words played ball according to the system's rule...and look at how much political influence we've gotten for it...

  • Comment removed

  • I actually feel the reverse...protesting has been the wrong strategy by the left because it is reactive instead of proactive. As far as heckling him goes tho...why should we let him speak when he's made an art form out of maligning the truth? why should we let him speak when men like him can decide who lives and dies, and yet never have to fear reprisal? men who don't care that people starve or suffer, while they themselves eat well at every meal. He should be shouted down.

  • she should have done more. pepper spraying and tazing karl rove would have made for some amazing YouTube footage. That guy deserves everything he gets.

  • @Devin1488 I love how people on the left are supposed to be the compassionate ones, and yet they have comments like this. Just a bunch of liars. Your compassionate to anyone the agrees with you. Anyone who doesn't however is another story. Attack them, yell at them, protest in front of their houses, as you say, mace, and tazer them. This is why I left the Democratic party.

  • @Devin1488 don't be violent because somebody has a different view than you. i don't agree with Rove either but he is as human as me and you are

  • The woman was within her rights- as most Americans believe at the very lest that Rove outed a CIA agent, which is a crime. : California Penal Code mandates:

    A private person may arrest another: 1. For a public offense committed or attempted in his presence. 2. When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence. 3. When a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it. (C.P.C. 837).

  • You don't get it. Mr. Holder is in the boat, idiot. Rove needs no dialog. He needs prison time.

  • Plus, giving the other side reply won't help because they'll just outright lie. Just look at where Rove said the Downing Street Memo was forged. That's a complete lie. And do you think the morons buying book will question that?

  • Cenk, it doesn't matter what the courts say because they're bought and paid for by the status quo which protects the neocons.

  • i want to know how come NBC MSNBC NEVER shows these code pink as whack jobs but rather the main stream... Yet when a right wing whacko does something , they portray ALL Repubs as that. Bottom line both parties have some black sheep, aka whack jobs. Difference is how the liberal news uses it.

  • Lol what is it with Republicans every argument has to revolve around them being the victims. Boohoo yes I tried to create a facist state in America but you're being mean to me at a book signing so my crimes are washed away and you're totalitarian.

  • Why won't Code Pink show up to Obama speechs?

  • fuck that whore up

  • OMG this is unacceptable right?  Shouldn't civil disobedience be squashed?

  • She can call the cops and have the cops do the actual cuffing, but she is the one doing a citizens arrest. She then can hire an attorney to prosecute him.

  • Heckling is too good for Rove, if you know what I mean. It's amazing this traitor doesn't have his own security 24/7. "The totalitarianism of the left." What a joke, pot calling the kettle black. This man should be in prison with much of the old Bush administration. Where the hell is the militia when you need them? lol

  • Rove is right - the loony left thinks the first amendment only applies to them...

  • Someone shoulda shot'em in the head!

  • Someone shoulda shot'em in the head!

  • Bush and his cronies should be in the Haig.

  • Bush and his cronies should be in the Haig.

  • I like this "totalitarianism of the left" talk Mr. Rove - i.e. you disagree with me and you're a totalitarian!

    As for "cynical, hypocritical individuals"? Takes one to know one, eh Karl?

    Cenk is wrong. Make all the noise you want, Code Pink ladies. The tea baggers already shut down everybody - and they'll continue to do so as long as they don't get pushback from the left.

  • You already lost democracy ! .. where dialogue is impossible this aproach becomes the only way . They were peacefull and that guy needs arresting .

  • slap that ho

  • He's lucky I wasn't there! I would have punched him right in the face!

    I would gladly face the consequences for the chance to punch that fat headed , soulless bastard!

  • @EFISHANT Really I can't believe you would be that crazy

    But go ahead and punch him the media will make you a god!!! Cause there is no crazy left people according to them

  • Cenk's right it just makes good points fall of deaf ears, and we all know when some one shouts at us we just shut them out. Code pink needs to be smarter and less emotional about how they handle stuff like this.

  • Cenk man I hear you but have you forgotten what happened last summer? "Town Hall meeting"? There's times to be civil and let them speak and I understand that but I comes a time when you fight fire with fire. Sometimes us liberals are to nice. Fuck them, it's time for us to start crackin some heads too.

  • total weak sauce, Cenk. What conversation do you want to have with Karl Rove? He's a traitor.

  • Criminal melon head fuck!

  • Rove has a nice mullet he's cultivating on the back of his bobble head. The rare party in back, ice rink in front.

  • Rove makes an excellent point when he mentions the totalitarianism of the left and how they are not interested in any dialogue but only want to shout people down. Those Godless sodomites on the left could take a lesson from the peaceful and rational way that us conservatives have expressed our feelings about that communist negros's plan to destroy America during town hall meetings this past year.

  • @JesusIsLife071 I certainly appreciate the sarcasm, if that is what you were going for, however, you could see how I might have misinterpreted. In which case you sir or madam are a nut.

  • Sorry, Cenk. I normally agree with you. You touched on the subject. Rove and others from the Bush administration are vile criminals. What type of 'dialogue' are we to expect from this professional liar? This isn't an issue of differing opinions. Rove, amongst others, has blood on his hands and the only people who will sympathize with him are the ones who like him in the first place.

  • Rove is trying to remain relevent and trying to brainwash people ahead of

    a potential war crimes trial he could be facing. His collegue fled France before police arrived to place him under arrest, and another time Rumsfeld turned his plane around when he was tipped off that police were waiting for him to touch down. When you lose executive privelage, the entire world becomes a mine field - you need lawyers to guide you to a safe country lest you end up in an orange jump suit.

  • excellent reaction Cenk!

  • In the United States, from what we saw with BOTH Bush (the anti-war protests) and Obama (the tea parties), it's more fun being the opposition dedicated to undermining the government in any way you legally can. Perhaps what americans really want is anarchism.

  • it's called direct action. sry bro, thumbs down on ur vid this time

  • Who is to say what a court would say? Problem is these criminals will never see a court room. Not one single person held responsible for dozens of people tortured.

  • It's so sad that Brittney Murphy died at such a young age. Too bad it wasn't Carl Rove.

  • Well said, Cenk!!!

  • this is awesome. that bastard deserves to be in a prison for war criminals. props to those people who tried to arrest him.

  • Liberal faggots. He had no security, why didn't the lady make the goddamn arrest? Fuck pussy liberals.

  • No sound after the opening animation

  • oh ya epic win i wish all the bush administration goes to prison for the shit they have done to this country or at least get punched in the nuts. i dont know, something to make them feel to what they have done to this great country they royally fucked us over getting us in a war that never should of happened and getting us into this recession were in what bows my mind is that the common folk the average american republicans dont think they have done anything wrong n thats fucked up

  • wish she'd have just shot him through the head

  • I LOVE this video.

  • They got on the news. That's a WIN.

  • C'mon. You gotta admit that Karl Rove has a funny shaped head. If they ever made a kid icarus movie he would be perfect for the part of the egg plant wizard.

  • there is no democracy cenk, you have pointed this out time and time again lol.

  • I'm happy to know that i'm young enough to out live Karl Rove...i'm just sayin'

  • ...did he say anti-war protesters were totalitarian?

    HOLY SHIT, if people believe that, our country is fucked.

  • If you're going to do a citizen's arrest...how do you do so w/ out touching him?? doesn't make sense. Rove and the rest of the administration was not brought up on the charges they rightly deserved and thus they should at least be reminded of what they engaged in, and should feel shame for it for the rest of their lives. I give props to anyone who is willing to get that close to a madman like Rove.

  • with their books unsigned.... Hahahahaha....God thats rich....and they even showed someone clutching their unsigned book in disapointment,,,lol

  • the entire bush administration should be in prison

  • @cjfilmproductions Just along with Obama and who is continuing to fund this war and send soldiers.

    You can't blame just Bush Administration when their were plenty of support from democrats!

  • @robm425 sure blame the people who were lied to and not the liars them selves.

  • @cjfilmproductions

    So Obama gets a free pass from correcting this lie and removing our troops? Serious you just proved that liberals are idiots!!!

    I voted for Obama to remove us from their wars and he is spending more and sending more troops! Yet you fail to recognize that lie from Obama so I can't help you

  • @robm425 Bush lied and violated the geneva convention and the constitution.they dropped the ball on 9/11they lifted the regulations that caused the economy to crash telling us how great the economy was the whole time. but sure i am the idiot who blames Obama for everything. forgive me if i don't have a short term memory problem.

  • @cjfilmproductions u are right!!

  • @cjfilmproductions ill throw u imprison...for being a jackass!

  • @chiliconcarne2006 LOL I guess you can throw me in prison when the truth becomes a crime.

  • Right on!

  • the Spanish arrest warrent for Dick Cheney accused of war crimes is no stunt...

    Hey Dick going on an overseas holiday soon hahahahah...

  • instead of talking shit to him, he should have gotten treated like a criminal. Cenk, you are wrong here. The talk don't work no more.

  • @Neuromancer1970

    well I hope that is the case...

    but most National Guard units are deployed and those guys I know in the NG are Conservatives...

    So I really don't think your hopes for that plan are going to go too far...

    One of the reasons Hitler took power in the 1930s is because he swayed an over whelming majority of the mitltary to his way of political thinking...

    and the his most ardent supporters were the Sturmabteilung Wikipedia for more info dude...

  • Drawing the line at looking at Carl Rove is looking at him through a rifle scope! Personally I don't have a moral problem with that but it's illegal so don't do it. He is a neo-con not a conservative. He spend vietnam dodging it with medical deferments along with Cheney, Nobody that doesn't make money form the military industrial complex likes this guy.

  • How many Iraqi and Afghani children did Rove leave "to fend for themselves"?

  • Just proves that both the left & right have their share of assholes..

  • When the nut ball right wingers are really ready to have a discussion on what crimes Rove committed. Than fine we can have that discussion but please lets be real, you people have disrupted many of our events your leaders have said that they will not work with the left and your party are the ones that took a lot of our civil rights away with the patriot act. So do not talk to us about rights if it were not for us you would not have any rights to speak of.

  • this shows how hypocritical the left are, they say everyone has 1st amendment rights, but in reality they think only THEY have first amendment rights, they dont think rove, the tea partiers, or anyone else who loves america has any rights at all. and liberals are nothing but filthy name callers who do nothing for the national dialogue, thats the difference between leftists and tea partiers, leftists are thugs and bullies, tea partiers are quiet peaceful demonstraters fighting opression like MLK.

  • @tehant1liberal Lol nice satire.

  • @tehant1liberal So the tea baggers who shouted "nigger", "faggot", and "wetback" at members of congress, and vandalized and made death threats members of congress are quiet and peaceful??!! Or Sarah Palin telling people to "reload"? This is America, and liberals have guns too, and we love this country as well. Get Real!

  • A civil conversation with tea baggers? Aint' gonna happen.

  • pshhhh xD

    3:29 - Cenk PUSSIES out, lmao

  • Cenk is correct, just look at the all the right wing comments on this vid - they feel empowered when stuff like this happens.

  • sorry to disapoint the truth is no one especially respected america we just liked the money you gave europe.

  • I would have slapped that dumb bitch across the face with a closed fist and pissed in her pink hat

  • There is no sound on this for me after the intro

  • I've got left-speaker only

  • According what what that woman said afterwards she waited until the event was near wrapping up before she became disruptive. She said an hour and half into the event i believe.

  • sometimes it is better to not let a war-criminal speak...

    btw. rove reminds me of goebbels!

  • Rove is a fucking hyprocrite.

  • "The Downing Street memos are a complete fabrication". - Karl Rove.

    I hope journalists take him to task on that! PLEASE please open up the downing street memos issue again.

  • Fucking Americans.

    You guys are just messed up everywhere...

  • @DadidiWTF

    Please don't genralize.

    Thanks.

  • I am not generalizing anything.

    It's the truth, people used to respect the United States, now it's just a country to poke fun of...

  • @DadidiWTF

    Where are you from? So I can speak the "truth".

  • @allamericanboys2001

    Canada. Go on, give it ya best shot.

  • @DadidiWTF LOL! True compared to you guys we have problems everywhere.

    Truth is your alcohol tax is too high. You send your geese down upon us to poop on everything. Your cities are nice but lack personality, and your boring. Nice problems to have I must say.

    I do like your ice wine and your comedians :)

  • @allamericanboys2001

    <3 Seth Rogen.

  • Carl Rove liits the freedoms of americans and the right wing dont give a shit

    A pacifist heckels Rove for being a tyrant and everyone is up in arms

    America is dead my friends

  • "Hes never been convicted of that." i love the turks but man, the reason he hasn't been convicted because he hasn't been charged, and i would argue that there is more than enough evidence to arrest him, even a citizens arrest.

  • Why don't people realize that freedom of speech is a double edged sword, you are allowed to say what ever you want but other people are allowed to say that you should shut up besides Rove has had 8 years to speak and look where it got us.

  • Cenk is usually pretty on point, but he's waaay off on this one. Unlike Code Pink, Karl Rove has Fox News and Meet The Press there to help him spout his lies. We're way past civility and calm discourse here. Cenk has to know that debating Iraq with Rove would be futile. And no touching? how was she supposed to make an arrest without touching him? eff that... she should've slapped him for what he's done, the lives he's helped throw away.

  • @gtoure

    I don't think Meet The Press is that bias at all, but that may just be MY bias.

    Is the show tough or hard hitting? No, it's pretty graphics and more of a laugh than anything. That's only because they don't press the guests so they'll come back.

    Still, I don't think Meet The Press is ittenetially slanted one way or the other like Fox news.

  • @braydenbeautiful

    intentionally*

  • lol while the protestors were in the wrong, Rove a dick so I'm not sad about it.

  • @engRyan That pretty much sums it up. The protesters could have done a better job, but I'm not exactly weeping for Rove.

    But Cenk is right that they should NOT have touched him. That's never okay.

  • TYT is such a pussy ass show lol.

  • @Neuromancer1970

    Remember your history...

    the Nazi's did this in the 1930s and killed those people who did not "Physically" oppose them

    "there you stand with your words here I stand with my rifle"

    was a very famous saying of Adolf Hitler

    if the Right takes up arms we as the Left must be Ready willing and able to do the same

  • Well said.

  • It doesn't look that bad from the video. Well i guess thats because i compare it to conservative protest. They still were not acting the way they should.

  • those tea partiers are always going crazy in crowds. Yelling, inturupting, I'm surprised they went after rove.

  • Pfffft.... Karl Rove has plenty of opportunity to exercise his own 1st amendment right everyday on TV. Let them shout him down.

  • I back Cenk up on this one.

  • Jodie is a Patriot, Rove is an asshole...

  • medea's been a friend of mine for over 20 years and i'm very proud to say it.

  • I could have not said it better myself!

  • Cenk, the system has failed to do anything about Rove so he should be hiding under a rock too afraid someone is going to take the law into their own hands.

  • Why is it conservatives always pull the "Leftie Card" w/insults like "totalitarianism" when they're backed into a corner? You don't see the Left calling people "conservatives" or "right winger". And how DARE Rove call the other side "totalitarianism"? The man should be in a jail cell in hague.

  • agreed.

  • I went to the Speaker Series debate with Karl Rove and George Carville and 2 members of code pink rushed the stage with handcuffs. So he KNEW what to expect, they do it at every one of his events. He should have some security.

  • The sound on this video only plays on my left speaker, lol. Coincidence? lol

    Rove is a douche though.

  • TYT's sound is off today.

  • Cenk being so smart is super naive sometimes. The elected elite almost NEVER get convicted of anything because both sides are too scared (especially the left) to stir up political backlashing. So no we don't have to let Rove speak, he's just going to lie because he can get a way with it.

  • I would agree with Cenk if the people who are opposed to Rove ever had the chance to let their views be heard. I would like to see that Rove never has a moments peace--but, when Rove talks about the "totalitarianism of the left" it would be nice if the reporters defined what totalitarianism actually is.

  • I didn't feel sorry for Karl Rove and neither should anyone else.

  • Cenk is wrong. Rove had his time to speak! When do the opposition have time to question Rove??? Oh and the Downing Street memos were leaked from DOWNING STREET. No fabrication. Jeeezz

  • Cenk, we all know now that you are bought and paid for.

    You are an X-republican who has a soft spot for republicans.

    I'm with the rest of the Liberals on this page...Fuck that Bald Idiot Criminal.

    BTW, You have to be arrested before you're Convicted!...and the shoe was on the other foot. Those morons shut us down and got over 4,000 of our hero's killed.

    No one feels sorry for Karl Rove and never will.
