  • Liz Cheney is not "satisfied." Look at her husband hahahahahaha

  • All I can say is, "Daddy love me."

  • see he was just crazy, psychotic. Oh the hypocracy

  • Cheny's right. I can't stand her, but she's right. There's a meaningful distinction between "terrorism" and other types of violent acts. A serial killer is not a terrorist, but someone who comits violence to further an ideology (usually on behalf of a group) is. They're not all muslims (e.g., Timothy Mcveigh), but most are. That's a fact, and it should never be considered "racist" to acknowlege facts. I feel sorry for peace loving muslims who are unavoidably linked to violent extremists.

  • Liz Cheney is the daughter of a war criminal this is typical of what she's going say.

  • A terrorist is a terrorist. What does it matter if he is representing an organization. Is she saying only Muslims can be labled as terrorists? To Iraqi civilians whose family got killed by our bombers, George Bush and Dick Cheney are terrorists. Did they not put fear into the hearts of millions that live in the country we are invading.

  • every nation that has conspired with the jews to employ the "Holocaust" propaganda against the Germans has suffered great damage as result. The jews though always remain unaffected no matter what fraud they perpetrate since they are grafted from Lucifer. Americans have abandoned all trust in their own government ever since the "Holocaust" stories were exposed as fraudulent.

  • her last name is Cheney,... Dúh!!

  • How conveniently you leave out the fact that Von Brunn was a registered Democrat, a 9/11 truther who hated Bush, and was purportedly planning an attack against the conservative mag The Weekly Standard. That clearly identifies him as a right-winger. Oh, no wait. That makes him... much more like you. I'm glad you're okay with calling him a terrorist, because I really am too. A deranged, racist, left-wing, Democrat-party votin' domestic terrorist. So glad we can agree on something.

  • Lary King is a cool dude he doesn't give a fuck. A terrorist is a someone who terrorizes people so CNN or FOX can be terrorist depending on the person or people.

  • "Well he was white" Hes in America and America largely a country controlled by white people and has been scene it's founding. I'm shocked to her say this on American TV knowing that Ashkanzi Jews who are Zionists or Zionist affiliated have influence in the US media. She probably has no job now she should have just keep her mouth shut. Number 1 golden rule in media = NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT the JEWS.

  • ANTI-SEMITIC - JEWS DON'T STRAP BOMBS ON THEIR CHILDREN, JEWS DON'T MILITARIZE THEIR BOY SCOUTS, JEWS HAVE NOT SWEPT PALESTINIANS INTO THE SEA (WHICH THEY COULD - EASILY), AND MOST PALESTINIANS PREFER TO LIVE IN ISRAEL THAT IN PLACES LIKE SAUDI ARABIA. WHY IS THAT?

  • @largraf

    Do you know about Lavon-Affair? King David Hotel Bombing? USS Liberty? How is it different?

  • lmao at 2:04

  • Please correct me but isn't a terrorist a person who tries to trigger an overreaction of the government by doing assaults and killing people so the mass will lose faith in the government and turns against it?! So the guy isn't a terrorist if he didn't have political interests.. don't get me wrong that doesn't make him a better person or his crimes less horrible.

  • A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter the skin pigmentation.

  • Von Brunn's 1981 stint looks a tad bit terroristic to me. He's got a bit of a history, no?

  • I thought this video was going to be about how she defended him because he used guns, and there is nothing wrong with guns, of course.

  • Liz Cheney is awesome. Liz for president.

  • @davido53

    No she should not be. I want someone that follows the Constitution.

  • Cenk, are you just retarded? Liz wasn't defending this crazy bastard, she only said it was too early to tell what the ramifications were regarding the killing spree. The only reason why Muslims are targeted as terrorists is because of the Bush administration following 9/11. The Japanese Americans had the same problem following Pearl Harbor including Mr Sulu himself. Eventually Muslims won't be considered terrorists by racial profiling, just like the Japanese. You're grasping at straws Cenk.

  • cheneys daughter?

  • OF COOOOUUUURSE!!!!

  • Who is she to label someone with a psychiatric diagnosis? "Crazy, psychotic."  Otherwise, she is not saying anything the Young Turks argue that she is saying. She is saying that because at THAT POINT we didn't know if he was a Timothy McVeigh hate case. The Young Turks really distort the already distorted media

  • Liz needs to go back to bed with her LESBO lover

  • He was a birther Liz - You are a psychotic and birther so you have one up on him and my guess you "Liz" need a sterno douche. She is a Wac job!!!!

  • "The suspect, an 88 yr old white supremist" ... the first words of the article. Liz agrees that by his writings he IS a white supremist. This makes him, by your own definition, a terrorist as white supremists are out to destroy any that don't fit their little niche.

  • The freedom of religion is not created by law since religion is simply thoughts someone has about spirituality so it emanates from our own internal thinking. We have this freedom because our internal thoughts are freely created within our own consciousness. No person has control over those thoughts which means that no person can determine our own will which makes it something that functions freely.

  • Crazy, psychotic, anti-semite. Is he part of an organized group whose purpose is to destroy another. If yes, it is terrorism. Is he doing it as part of his faith and is he doing it as part of a larger group that believes their political-religious structure permits or even rewards such activity- call it _____ fascism or ______ extremism

  • @LearnfromOurFounders ... Sooo The tea-bagger ultra-conservative view of burning Harry Potter books as "withcraft", and the ultra-right conservative-christian organized attack against Wiccans dating back to the pilgrims would make Christians terrorists by that definition. Wiccan being a religion older than Christianity that teaches being at one with nature. Right ... it's not the Christian's "purpose" ... it's just a side benefit, so it's okay?

  • Comment removed

  • Lots of energy there. Courts judge on motive, not only on outcome.

  • Liz Cheney is a fool.

  • listen with mind he if it,s working he is right

  • No orginization? Um Neo-Nazi orginization......

  • she said that he shouldnt be called a terrorist because they were unsure if he was representin any organization...........arent the Nazi's an organization?

  • Of course Americans cannot commit acts of terrorism the scary words are reserved for other countries/races, we like to use nicer words for our own actions

    special interrogation techniques = torture

    tactical weapons = weapons of mass destruction

    preemptive strike = attacking another country

    stabilisation = invading an oil rich country

    collateral damage = killing civilians

    defending American interests = having control over the middle-east and its oil reserves

  • what an ugly broad!

  • I find what she is doing acceptable, in that she was trying to neutralize the obvious strategy liberals would employ, which is using this shooting to downplay Muslim terrorism. Which Cenk of course immediately did.

    Nothing you say can change the fact most terrorists are Muslim and it is a real problem that needs to be dealt with. As much as I dislike white supremacists they are not going around blowing themselves up in Jewish neighborhoods the way Muslims have done in Israel.

    Disgusting video.

  • She came about her arrogant stupidity honestly, "Clearly he was psychotic."  Thanks for the heads up McGruff.

  • "Clearly he was psychotic."

    .

    And so are you, Liz.

    .

    "He was a vile human being."

    .

    And so are you, Liz.

  • @grobo11 whats the point in saying that. it just makes you seem like a retard who cant understand what someone means. he obviosly means discriminating against someone because of their religion. what do you want him to say religionist? or religionism. just calm down. its like someone saying my comment is crap and counts for nothing because i have spelled obviosly wrong.

  • Don't agree with you on this one Cenk.

  • Doesnt he look like the cop who had his ear cut off in resevoir dgs? anyway good movie good show

  • I thought her name was Lon Cheney?

  • I just realized that the young turks was a WWI group from the ottoman Empire, they were like some sort of radical political group, not that they were that bad, I actually think that America should've joined the Axis but that's just my opinion. it's been 100 years since that conflict so plz, no one give me shit for thinking that

  • We've lost the meaning of the word "Terrorism". In today's POLITICAL context, Liz may be right. Bush took the word "terrorism" and turned it around to mean Muslims with whom we are at war. He used it in defense of going to war so that he wasn't at war with any nation, just "terrorists" (or anyone against our government) which by definition SHOULD include this guy. But it no longer does. The groups he was representing were white supremacists and antisemites, he is a terrorist by definition.

  • I'm sorry how is this not terrorism? He used terror to..prove a political...point?

  • -this YoungTurk guy is a chump, --thinking people world wide know what nasty anti-German hatred this HoloHoax brainwashing BS is; --the real issue of this Shooter is that in 1913 the insanely murderous jewZionist hyjacked our usTreasury, installed their thieving Fed.Reserve-sys. & IRS-henchmen, --accordingly the jews thereby gained total monetary control over us, and are now destroying the Dollar, as to thereby force the sheeple to accept their worthless IMF-Amero equivalent of their Euro...

  • that woman is full of s..t

  • Wet

  • all terrorists and threats are not equal, pointing out the difference is not defending anyone, you jackass host

  • @drlax15m Why even raise that point though? If a white guy does something like that he is "obviously psychotic", if they're brown then they're religious terrorists. Why dive into the muck heap to separate pig shit from cows? No one will hug you either way...

  • @alxdnld lol, nice. ^_^

  • @Erilis666 learn from my mistakes, young ones... Now children, gather round while I tell the story of 'Why we remove our shoes BEFORE we take off our pants'...

  • This guy is a joke.

  • @specklebelly23

    So true. The title of the video says "Liz Cheney defends Holocaust Museum Shooter". Not once did she defend the shooter, she was simply making a distinction between someone linked with a terrorist group vs. a single crazed wingnut. This says alot about the intellectual honest of this guy.

  • @joewisnieski Ever heard of domestic terrorism?

  • @joewisnieski and the distinction is a defense that makes him less guilty . of course her intention is not to defend the shooter but her ideology .however the end result is the same and the vid description accurate . and btw you can be a terrorist all on your own .

  • Cenk! Who pays your bills dude? You can't be doing this out of pocket. Let me guess, Mediamatters, DNC, ACORN, SEIU, George Soros. I gettin warm?

  • @wetweasel56 im gonna guess that who pays the bill is netflix their sponser but thats just my guess

  • @wetweasel56

    Netflixs, their sponsors. Is it because every major republican event is corporation-sponsored that you think every progressive event must be the same?.

  • @kefkahkefkah, I guess you don't think Netflix is a very big corporation.

    Cenk is doing his very best to discredit any thing that has to do with conservatives. He says he's not biased but only an idiot would believe that. He leaves the wrong doings of the Democrats alone while he attacks the Republicans. He's a low life.

  • @wetweasel56

    yeah they got the netflix as a sponsor about 2 weeks ago. I dont think netflix pushes any agenda.

    And this is how you will tell someone who has watched this show from someone who has watched only this video, or a handful. Hes bashed democrats, obama, harry reid, the healthcare bill and calls the dems a partially owend subsidary of big corporation.

    So watch the show before you make any assumptions, and speak from faqt. I know that you will defend everything every rep does..ever

  • Sorry. can't agree with you on this. You sound like the drunk guy next to me at the bar pontificating with generalization and hyperbole.

    I'm no fan of of any politician or their wives but please pick you fights carefully.

  • Liz Cheney actually made some sense with her remarks. Maybe there's hope for her. Bitch.

  • Wow great point - TYT

  • she is ugly

  • Huh? Turks support Israel?

    WTF?

    Labeling U.S. citizens terrorists is your perference as long as they are "white" and politically "right."?

    What is frick is ur point Turk?

    Quit being a Dem vs Repub. Have the courage to think without having to always agree with Dems and disagree with Repubs.

    That's just fake 1 side vs another. Learn to ask both parties to own up to their responsibilities to citizens.

    Quit giving blank checks to Dems.

    Grow up Turk.

  • He is sayin "some white people need to call their people terrorists as fast as they call other people terrorists when some shit like this happens"!!!

    Also, She jumped on Obama for not speakin out within 3 days that the xmas day bomber being a terrorist! But here, she is sayin, (of course about the white shooter) that we dont need to hurry up and call him a terrorist!! Really??

    Why, ms. cheeney?

  • That woman is the spawn of Satan.

  • She is such a dick!

  • @leftyms I C WOT U DID THAR

  • @leftyms well my theory is her Father Dick Cheney is the new devil

  • @leftyms and daughter of Lucifer

  • @leftyms I always knew Dick Cheny was Satan.

  • @leftyms

    I think she sa follower of Jesus tbh lol

  • why is this dyke relavent

  • She is a bitch that looks popularity among the right wing. BITCH!!!

  • fucking hate that bitch Liz...

  • Man, I wish I had the tools to look up what she said about FortHood. I'm sure she wasn't carefully in labeling that terrorism.

  • I would be interested in what Liz Cheney thinks about the Fort Hood shooter.

  • Poor people are too downtrodden to realize that the holocaust museums are there to enslave them. Adolf Hitler rode his great popularity among the poor to become The Fuhrer and his strong dislike of "interest capitalism" threatened the world's money controllers. After Germany was defeated by USA, England and Russia the holocaust story was then created and propagated to subvert future political movements among the poor masses thru attaching populism to genocide.

  • Oh Christ. Another Holocaust denier nut-job.

  • There were no gassings at any of the labor camps run by the Germans during WWII. You must have an abusive nature at your core to believe such an abusive propaganda lie.

  • There were at least six Nazi concentration camps where the gassing of Jews took place and multiple sites where the gassing of mentally and physically ill Germans took place. The latter were shut down in 1941 after public outcry. You must have a low I.Q. to believe the same disproved garbage spewed over and over by the white supremacist bigots since the 1960's. These same slime balls give a bad name to actual historical revision in a feeble attempt to bring on a new ugly Nazi revival...(cont)

  • ...(cont) My grandmother lived in Nazi occupied Holland. She nearly died of hunger in the last month before the liberation after the Nazis and their grovelling NSB pawns deliberately cut off all food to western Holland. If the Nazis treated the Dutch that horribly why do you think they would have treated the Jews any better? In reality more than 100,000 Dutch Jews were murdered by the foreign invaders.

  • The 1948 World Almanac shows the number of jews actually increased not decreased from 1938 to 1948. USA found no murder victims at Dachau and recorded that only 12% were jews and the records indicate that jews were around 23% of the Auschwitz campers. The jews are a small in numbers tribe of thieves who steal the world blind thru deception and treachery. The only positive drawn from the holocaust fraud is that it reveals the abusive nature at the core of those who propagate such abusive lies.

  • This is exactly what I meant by the same disproved garbage spewed over and over by white supremacists since the 1960's. The 1948 World Almanac claim is one of the most common and one of oldest. No estimate of the Jewish population was made between 1938 and 1947. The 1947 estimate was derived from the 1938 figure. Why would a fresh estimate be made immeditly after the end of the world war? I ask you this - why did the international Jewish community decline by four million in 1949?...(cont)

  • The U.S. Army found no murder victims at Dachau? Are you certain of that? Evidently you have never come across Dr. Charles Larson while visiting neo-Nazi propaganda sites. That is not surprising. Immediately after the liberation of Dachau the U.S. Army sent a forensic scientist named Charles Larson to examine the bodies of certain inmates. He concluded that 86 prisoners had been burned to death, 11 inmates had been shot, and 189 prisoners had died of other non-natural causes(cont)

  • (cont) Who are we to believe? A forensic scientist who was actually on the spot immediately after the liberation or Holocaust deniers born years later who have probably never set foot on that beautiful continent of Europe? I dont know if your figure is correct but in any case it would not be surprising if only 12% of Dachau inmates were Jews. Dachau was more of a camp for German political prisoners and other 'unreliables'. The Jews were generally sent to the Polish camps to be exterminated.....

  • (cont)...Campers? You make it sound like a holiday and for fuck sakes please dont even start with Zundel's old swimming pool nonsense. Jews were around 23% of the Auschwitz population? Where did you get that figure? Perhaps they were thinking of Auschwitz I - the 'main camp' the camp built upon the ex-Polish Army barracks. This camp was used more for the incarceration of Polish political prisoners, hostages, homosexuals, and criminals than for Jews. Birkenau was the real extermination camp...

  • ...(cont) only those Jews chosen to work instead of being sent to be gassed were assigned a number and recorded. I see you are citing (or giving the appearance of citing) The German records. Wat about the rest of the evidence compiled by the Nazis proving that the Holocaust happened let alone the thousands of German first-person accounts? What about German soldiers who witnessed the mass shootings in the east? Are they lying too? Why have even former SS men admitted something tha they didn't do?

  • yes...you had hitler where right...jews never create anything..i mean..other then much of our modern knowledge of science and medicine...

  • yea einstein..he was a real moron...

  • very well said.

  • apparently you haven't talked to modern day German's. They are ashamed of their Nazi past.

  • Wow.  Liz Cheney and her sycophants are a bunch of sad, scary WATBs.

  • NOTHING the Republicans do surprises me. They are in the gutter and I hope they NEVER come out, the more people will see them for what they are.

  • A terrorist is one who participates in terrorism. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. No matter what you do if you do what is listed above then you are that.

  • "Of coooooouuuuuuurse!"

  • He was not a terrorist, he is just disgruntled.

  • An arab went on a similar shooting spree in the holocaust museum in germany a while back, killed several jews, was he a terrorist?

  • I was being facetious.

  • Oh, well you got me that time.

  • "He's not a terrorist unless he's Muslim"

    So true.

  • 10 thumbs up, he's exactly right if the guy's name was Muhammad Sherif than he would be a terrorist without second thoughts. I cant believe you assholes still cant see the racism, maybe if u take racist thoughts out of ur head u might see it

  • Exactly right, if he was an arab they couldn't find enough bad words for him. They call people terrorists just for holding palestinian flags.

  • @ygh22222 Islam isn't a race. So how is it racism?

  • @grobo11 its a stereotype which doesnt exactly mean its ok too judge every person name Muhammad

  • The man is taking her statement and making radical assumptions. There was nothing racial about her remark, and insinuating that she was defending him only because he was white and a "right winger" is crazy/

    What a cocky fatass slob. Typical of TYT. This guy is a left-wing Bill O Reilly.

  • It's not a radical assumption to say that the republican party attracts people who are racist, philosophically contradictory, and uneducated/ not as intelligent. You should take a class in Political Science. The numbers don't lie.

  • Demon-crats have several ex KKK members, now is is calling the kettle black. I do not like the Republicans, or demon-crats

  • well the fact that you call democrats "demon-crats" shows who you like less..but..the thing is.the democratic party moved to the left on social issues in the 50's and espically 60's....and they supported EQUAL RIGHTS for blacks..which is why so many democrats moved out of the party...some going straight to the republican party..others (like strom thurmand) going to the segreationist party first..then the republicans..of course a few stuck with the democrats, like byrd, but most the racists left

  • 'netIdiot - I doth think your nick protesth too much!!

    >

    But hey the Repukes got it goin' on though! the top 1% of the population has DUPED 46% of the population into voting ASAINST their own self interest!! Now that's payin' it forward!!

  • Meh, he's grasping at straws here. It's not like she defended the guy. She said he's obviously psychotic and a vile human being.

  • look at ur fuckin youtube name. Your comment is irrelevant. Racism is retarded. In a few hundred years we'll all be mixd anyways so wuts the point?

  • Liz Cheney... consider her immediate bloodline. It's interesting how they can define and then deflect arguments

  • He's on point! Had Vaughn Braun been a muslim it would have been different. But Liz Cheney had to defend him after her dad shot someone else while hunting! LOL!!!---SHOOT HAPPENS, right?

  • Colt, you are missing a point here. A terrorist by definition is a person who terrorizes inoocent people through his barbaric actions i.e killing people regardless of race, gender and religion. So, we have to admit that white people, along with other races "can" also be terrorits. Unfortunately, we have always been labelling the word terrorist with Muslims.

  • I agree that there are indeed white terrorists, including Von Braun. I'm just pointing out that more people are killed by Muslim terrorist attacks than by other attacks. That's not me being culturally insensitive; that's just cold hard statistics. Read the Qu'ran to see how violent this book is; it is the holy book of Islam, and can never be revised. What a stupid belief. Now I'm going to eat some pork and drink some alcohol and have premarital sex... because it's fun... and I'm not a Muslim.

  • I agree too, while this Braun is a real scumbag, almost the same day some black muslim creep murdered two soldiers in a shopping center yet this guy got all the news. Most of that is because of where he shot it out, but Muslims are responsible for about 90% of the terrorism these days, like killing, burning & harrassing Denmark over a lousy cartoon which they ended up proving right by behaving like the violent fanatics Moh was.

  • We have not always labeled terrorists as muslims. if you remember right it was only the last 10 years or so. Oklahomoa city bomber, unibomber. two terrorists that are white. what does it matter what he is he killed someone

  • Maybe he had the best intentions, but he was psychotic, because only a psychopath would have blamed those people in the holocaust museum (perfectly innocent, random people who just happened to walk in that day) for the iraq war or for 9/11. It doesn't matter how evil those things are, or who is responsible for them, von braun killed random, innocent people.

  • Oh sure.....let's not be too quick to call him a terrorist, but it's clear that he was psychotic. Thank you Dr. Cheney Phd

  • I find it interesting how the right will say that right-wing, Christian radicals are "disturbed individuals," but Muslim radicals aren't. They try to make the claim that terrorism is a natural outcropping of Islam; however, they argue that killings and bombings carried out by white right-wingers are mere aberrations, the actions of troubled lone-wolves, despite how common such events are.

  • And how common are they? Explain... compared to, say, the occurrence of Muslim radicals killing civilians:

    222 for this MONTH alone.

  • Explain? Well how about this, the western world is occupying (militarily) almost every muslim country in the world! You think you can do that without people fighting you? No, you can't. We dominate them militarily, economically, culturally, and every other imaginable way, then we routinely kill them (I bet you don't have that statistic on hand, right, because it doesn't matter when they die), then we prop up tyrants to rule over them, and then we blame them for it all! Perfect.

  • Really? We have bases in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia? I'm unaware of this. We do have bases in certain Muslim countries, but we also have bases in certain secular/Christian countries in Europe, too. In fact, we have had, since WWII, huge numbers of troops in Germany. Do they blow themselves up in misguided protest? If we fight a war, the purpose is to "dominate." American culture and goods are readily available to people who want to adopt them. If you don't like it, then you don't have to buy it.

  • We created algeria, morocco and tunisia. Those are colonies of france, I believe, and still controlled by the western powers. The people in germany fought us for over two years, but they don't now, probably because we are like them and we respect them. Yes, we fight wars to dominate, to open up markets and change policies of other countries to be more favorable to american corporations. This is a widely known fact.

  • Who is this "we?" I didn't create any of these countries. France and Italy did, my friend. Are "we" now all one country? Please don't make me explain the concept of sovereignty to you. Let me ask you, why it is that we would want to control a country with the economy of Rhode Island (Iraq)? Where has the money from the "war for oil" gone? Did Bush just pocket it? How? Please show your work. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just a few popular buzz words.

  • The "christian world" -- the equivalent of "islam" in your argument, created those countries. No, please don't waste your time explaining anything to me, I think I can do just fine on my own thank you. You think we went to iraq for "democracy"? Really? We went there for oil, and that was obvious to all of the people who were involved in conquering iraq, by the way. We didn't even count the bodies of those we killed, so what makes you think we were ever concerned about their "freedom"?

  • There's the Holocaust museum shooter, Dr. Tiller's shooter, and the guy who killed three police officers in Pittsburgh. All of these were right-wing radicals who committed their crimes this year. Other famous instances include Oklahoma City and the bombing at the Olympics in 1996. That's how common they are on American soil. Then throw in all the people who are killed every day in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now tell me, who are the real terrorists?

  • Well, it's people like you who are trying to bring down everything American. You're confused as to who your enemy is, so I'll tell you: I don't want to kill you, neither does my government, or most Americans. If you're not a Muslim, Muslim extremists want you dead. They're right-wing as hell. Add up the acts of terrorism you mentioned... they don't come close to 9/11. In Iraq, we kill people. We don't kill as many as Saddam. He invaded Iran, attacked Israel, butchered Shiites, gassed Kurds.

  • Yeah, Saddam did those things. He did them with weapons we gave him.

  • Actually, he did receive weapons from us. He also received weapons from France and Russia, too, but let's not mention that. God forbid we discuss anything other than anti-American sentiments. He invaded and annexed Kuwait, which we refused to tolerate. If it were up to people like you, I suppose he would have been off scott free.

  • I like The Young Turks but not this video. The title was totally misleading and nothing she said was in that mans defense. Whether he can be considered a terrorist or not is debatable, and in my opinion irrelevant.

  • You're so right. Making a distinction between terrorism and "vile cold blooded murder" is hardly a defense. In a way, a terrorist, as henous as his act may be, could be more innocent than a cold blooded murderer. After all, the terrorist believes he is pleasing his god. A cold blooded murderer just hates! I've been called names for sharing this opinion. I guess if you agree with anything a Cheney says, you will have to be prepared for this. It still hurts.

  • I actually agree with you. The truth is the christian crusades of the Middle Ages were no better than what Islamic terrorists do now. Killing in the name of religion.

  • Don't terrorist blow themselves up? Isn't terrorism part of some kind of coordinated effort, like Jihad? i can't finfd anything wrong with whay this woman said. She called him vile. She called him a murderer. These things he clearly is! However, unless I'm mistaken, there was no terrorist group taking credit for it.

  • HIMSC... poor Lizzie, she's just upset and cranky in her cankles because she cannot find any woman to scissor her, so I'd like to volunteer my scissoring service. I'm a great scissorer.

  • I have heard more than a handful of right wing turds on Youtube alone referring to some sort of "armed, bloody revolution" here in this country, who, by the way, shrivel up and disappear as soon as you remind them that the FBI is probably watching them with a short eye and that it's going to be awfully hard to go back and "un-post" all of their thinly-veiled threats to the government and the president from all of the servers they have filtered through.

  • a horrific event, and that's that.

  • a horrific event... and that's that.

  • She didn't defend him in fact. But there is only apart of what she said that is liable to discussion. It's when she denies any link with their political discourse. On this topic, the young Turks is obviously misrepresenting things.

  • Dude - you are making something out of nothing. Find something worth talking about.

  • No kidding these young turds need some things to talk about instead of hamburgers and Borock. Long live the naked king Borock!!!

  • Liz didn't defend him, she questioned whether he was a terrorist or a lone nut.

    Does that dumb it down far enough for you ,Young Turk?

  • she said she didnt know if he was affiliated with any orginization, you know... like the fuckin klan, which he was.

  • TYT, stop being retarded.

  • The GOP can't not defend their base.

  • it belongs to us now.

  • this guy is full of shit. all she was saying is that we need to be cautious about connecting this guy with organized terrorism and political discourse. the guy was whacked. thats it. you libs really have to dig deep ...huh?

  • Cenk is absolutely correct. When a christian grabs a gun and kills people, we have to say, "oh he's just a crazy, he has nothing to do with us or our politics". When a muslim goes crazy and grabs a gun and kills people, we say "oh, there go all the muslims again, looks like we really do need to exterminate them..."

  • Well, just look at the numbers please. In the past month of July, 838 people have been outright killed by Muslim terrorists. How many have been killed by white supremacists? Please, by all means look it up. I'm not justifying this man's actions at all; in fact, I'm part Jewish myself. I'm just saying, put it into perspective. How often has Cenk got incredibly upset when a Muslim killed somebody? 838 times in the past month? Try never...

  • Over a million iraqis died because of our invasion of Iraq. 20,000 lebanese (mostly civilians) were murdered by israel in 1982, 1300 civilians were murdered by israel during the gaza massacre. I don't know the numbers, but I know that muslims have been slaughtered on a regular basis by the hindu fascists in india. We should get upset when islamic fundamentalists kill people, but we should not pretend that they are the only ones in the world causing problems.

  • That still doesn't come close to the number killed by Saddam. He butchered Shi'ites, gassed Kurds, launched missiles at Israel, and invaded Iran. His death toll is well in the tens of millions. The difference between a terrorist in the US and one in say, Iran, is in the way we treat them. We vilify terrorists in this country and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. If you were to beat a woman to death in Iran for "indecent exposure", you would be let off. Somalis stone raped women, too.

  • You are just obsessing over numbers and accusing muslims of things which many other religions are also guilty of, in an effort to justify religious bigotry. Don't you see that it isn't up to you to decide which religions are ok and which aren't? You cannot condemn muslims because they are as imperfect as the rest of humanity, and you have no right to advocate exterminating them because they aren't perfect.

  • Obviously he doesn't support terrorism, he just doesn't use the obligatory double standard and claim that any violent muslims are terrorists and representatives of the entire islamic world while dismissing any violent, extremist christians as "lone crazies".

  • Islamofascism is far more dangerous than you think. From throwing acid into the faces of school girls, to burning books, to stoning women for the "crime" of being raped, these are common practices in many Muslim-majority nations. A Christian, Atheist, or Jew would never dream of this. Under Sharia law, many of these practices would be made into commonplace. So please, don't try to be a cultural relativist, because it gets you nowhere and it's fucking stupid.

  • Don't try to dress up religious bigotry as a "fight against fascism". Religious bigotry IS fascism. Islamofascism is a nonsense word, used to villify an entire section of the globe. Islam and fascism are two separate, unrelated things. Get it straight, and stop villifying muslims for things that all cultures are guilty of, including our own. Whether you realize it or not, there are, in fact, extremist christians, and hindus and jews, and extremists are usually unpleasant people.

  • You're right, religious bigotry is indeed fascism. Who is the most guilty of this? Who kills the most people for reasons set about by a prophet who's been dead for over a thousand years? There are extremists of all hues, but which nations operate with nonsense laws derived from said religions? We certainly don't; our First Amendment defines the separation of Church from State. The Saudis don't seem to be so enlightened.

  • The saudis are indeed fascists, by any definition, however, if you accept the idea that their brand of fascism is somehow justified by religion, then you are just playing into their hands. Repressive governments almost always cloak themselves in religion in order to justify their actions, and it is up to you whether you want to accept that their actions are justified, or unjust and unsanctioned by god. Islam is like all other faiths, it is open to interpretation.

  • Islam is indeed an interpretation, but that doesn't mean that it's correct; it doesn't mean that we should sympathize with them because of their nonsensical interpretation. After the Danish cartoons came out, Muslims ACROSS THE WORLD protested, often violently. Embassies were burned, people were threatened and murdered. Why? Because their prophet said that it was wrong to draw people (especially him). What is reasonable about that? Why should that not be resisted by any non-masochistic person?
