  • Thumbs up for a playboy spread? eh? eh?

  • @jsrosenfeld0

    It's only a matter of time

    : )

  • @jsrosenfeld0

    It's only a matter of time

  • she will frustrate anyone who invites her for an interview.

  • Now here she is, ladies and gentlemen, direct from her asshole, SARAH PALIN!

    "Thayynk you, thayynk you! You know, I'm dumb and I'm ignorant, but let's face it so are you. Look who came before me, and you ate it up like it was caviar on a shingle. HAHAHAHA!

    "Look, watch, now I'll say something even stupider that the last thing I said -- and millions of people will come to my defense. HAHAHAHAHAHA

    "And thayynk you, Charlie Rose, for taking me soooo seriously. You're a putz too."

  • i don't agree with her, but i'd still hit it.

  • "My one and only son..."

    doesnt she have two sons?

  • How can they not give our, uh no, their oil to us. This is so wrong!. I say we liberate these guys!

    Who need Nazis when you Americans have this kind of mentality... Oh I am sorry, her child is in boot camp so I am feeling very sympathetic about her so, forget what I said about this lady...

  • Perfect so I guess that's why she stepped down as governor, because she had to do her part in securing our nation. Thank you Ms. Palin for leaving office.

    --Alaska

  • My God, this woman is monstrously retarded.

  • governor of Alaska? That's like the principal of a home school.

  • @tollesTischbein I think i sound more inteligent than you when i fart, i dont think you even know how to spell the word art

  • She is an embaressment to the conservative cause.

  • Wow, she is beautiful

  • She reminds me of some porn videos where lesbians pretending to be sophisticated school teachers, with glasses, skirt, the all outfit, talk about something irrelavent and later on they squirt each other.

    P.S. I think she is dump as hell. Mouth fucking and anal is all she needs.

  • can i have sex with you mrs palin?

  • I thought she was Tina Fey

  • Charlie Rose, listen to the lucid, intelligent and moderate discussion SP is having with you, then look at the vitriolic spew in your comment section...these are your fans: hateful, bigoted and prejudiced. That's why I stopped watching you...you attract rabble.

  • She's got to be the worst speaker ever lol

  • @Pullmanfan7

    I AGREE. BUT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! SHE CAN KEEP THOSE GLASSES ON DURING OUR SESSION TOGETHER!!!!

  • sarah! 

  • This is the most enthused I've ever seen Charlie Rose. I think he might have had one too many cups of coffee before the interview

  • She really is a political joke . Why would someone as intelligent as Charlie Rose even give her a platform . What ever happened to "Statesman" ?

  • blah blah blah. america in the end is going to fuck the entire world. it doesn't matter who you elect. thanks for the the cluster fuck ass holes.

  • Sarah's admirers hate it when you call them racist or homophobic. The other thing they hate is niggers and fags.

    If racism or homophobia are an obvious part of your account name, what exactly should people assume about your personality? That you're a hypocritical liar as well as a racist homophobe? Or does Tea Party affiliation supersede any of the undesirable character traits monopolized by extreme right wing politics?

    Of course I would never expect a clarification from a Palin supporter.

  • @vinyl45s4ever hey dumb fuck fishing foe young boys again ?

  • @vinyl45s You really Are a freak. A Copy-paste Freak. When I saw this comment on another video, I honestly believed you were working out some sort of Tourettes syndrome thing online...but seeing you actually felt so proud of the pile of excrement you created with that comment, that you decided to copy it and paste it somewhere else, I realize that that epiphany I wished on you will never happen. That you are incorregable and that Charlie Rose has forever lost my respect for having You as a fan.

  • I think she means well. she loves her country and wants to help it. maybe her way of doing it is off, but she's not a bad person. she honestly means well,

  • Her one and only son? She doesn't count TRIGG as her son? Why not? Doesn't he count? Why is she denying her second born son, calling her oldest son her "one and only".

    Trigg seems to be an accessory to Sarah's political/entertainment ambitions. She shows him off, slinging him over her shoulder like a loaf of bread, then handing him back to the nanny.

    Sorry, Sarah. I see some extreme insincerity and profoundly flawed "values" here. You are NOT genuine, and definitely NOT admirable.

  • @multitalentino umm look at the year. this was in 07. Trigg wasn't born yet.

  • Get those God damn JESUS FREAKS out of American Politics!

    The Theocratic bullshit slingers need to GO! The sooner the better.

    The entire country suffers from this sickening mix of church and state.

    No more "ordained" morons as "leaders". Enough is enough!

  • Jeopardy answer: I've got mine; you get your own!

    Jeopardy question: What a Christian Conservative says to the least of Jesus' deciples.

  • I counted two words she made up :)

  • Lower case r: (r) Sarah Palin

    That about sums up her irrelevance.

  • Palin, you're only half as ugly as your political views.

  • Palin should play with her Hockey Stick at night

  • Comment removed

  • Audio is not working for me damn I really wanted to see this

  • Charlie's voice says, excuse me can you remind what did i ask?

  • Paris Hilton is smarter than Palin and that's saying a LOT.

  • @southport97

    Palin is smarter than you. And that's no surprise.

  • @southport97 I can articulate myself with more panache then she can.

    She repeats the same phrase over and over ad nauseum

    She uses weasel words often

    I don't like her and she is not fit for this interview

  • she is such an idot this palin !!!

  • She might be android. Can someone strip search her?

  • Well this New Zealander thinks that Sarah Palin is a Democratic Party "plant." Go girl!!!

  • This bitch executes animals from her helicopter - for fun and sport, what the hell are we talking about? She is a murderer

  • She can see Russia from her backyard... She's got Super Vision! Too bad she's got the IQ of the Moose she shot yesterday! LOL!!!

  • I wonder how many 3rd graders help her prep for this interview?

  • Palin for Prez 2032

  • I love you sara even if yuo ar conadiun. i hope yuo ar the next predisent

    of america

    god bles you sara

  • I wonder if she is completely shaved. I like to think she is. ; )

  • Charlie Rose was speechles jajajaja....

  • Comment removed

  • Psycho...

  • Just how stupid does she plan on becoming?

  • MILF??

  • Isn't it lovely how YOUR God always stands for the things YOU like? For example, God orders YOU to be judgmental, He orders YOU to put OTHERS in their place, and He holds YOU blameless.

    By God's rules, YOU get to shine, while He commissions YOU to point fingers at OTHERS. How can you not love this arrangement?

    Christianity is a sick hoax, and those entangled in it are embracing injustice, unfairness and divisionism. The root of mankind's problems are with YOUR perverted "faith" in ignorance!

  • At 0:15 Palin denies her son. She has 2 sons, yet refers to her 18 year old as "my one and only son". How are we to interpret that?

  • We don't need you and your chronic anti-everything complaints. We HAVE a capable president, and you'll just have to deal with that for another 5 years. Perhaps indefinitely, seeing that the far right only offers bozos and Jesus Freaks along with the usual corporate whores as alternatives.

    We've outgrown the "back to the 50s" BS mentality of the Republican/Independent (aka closeted Republican) leadership.

    No more retards in the White House. Got it? If not, it's not important!

  • people talk about palin being dumb but i think her biggest problem is shes so fake and corny i hope she wins in 2012 just to watch bill maher's material no just kiddin

  • @MRORTIZBEATS - Don't even joke about that... She'll have the NUKE CODES for crying out loud!!! LOL!!!!

  • Did she just say "my one and only son?" doesn't she have a baby boy as well? That seems a bit odd. I thought she had 4 children. The oldest boy, Track then Bristol then Piper and the baby Trig.

  • I heard the Chinese desperately want Sarah Palin to be in the next eRection.

  • She isn't good for elections, but she's superb for erections.

  • "caaninutts" Dumb bitch. Learn how to talk before running for president

  • State debts from 5 trillions to 13.5 trillions dollars under Bush - but it´s Obama´s alleged fault, Europeans shake their about so much irrationality.

  • Just happened to me at the end of a Lloyd Cole music video - "I hate to see you Baby doing that stuff": What the fuck has a Palin video got to look among music video recommendations for other Lloyd Cole songs? He wouldn´t even talk to her !

  • Does she KNOW? I mean, does this woman KNOW? She has got to KNOW!

    How can a person be so profoundly intellectually inferior and NOT KNOW? If narcissism and delusions are available in liquid form, this woman is drunk on it. Not since Carrie Prejean has anyone been so full of self congratulatory celebration of nothingness (and I am mindful of the Donald, who has recently been exposed as the insane snake oil salesman he is).

    The Palin Band Wagon is full of fruits and nuts. Can we move on soon?

  • @multitalentino Wonderful.

  • governor of alaska? thats like a principal of a home school.

  • @tollesTischbein Hahaha!!! That comment made my day. Thank you lol.

  • haha i pressed 5!!!!! SHE SAYS ASS!!!...she is a moron....but i would lick her asshole...lol

  • PRESS 5 CONTINUOUSLY = ASS ASS ASS

  • I only heard assssskd and on top, lol

  • REALLY? ....... really?

  • HEY YOU NO GOOD MOTHERFUCKERS GET OUT OF THE USA GO TO FUCKING MEXICO,CUBA, CHINA,NORTH KOREA, YOU LOW LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS SOMEONE NEEDS TO FUCKING TRY YOUR MAGGOT ASSES FOR TREASON AND SHOOT ALL YOU NAZI BASTERDS FUCK OFF EAT SHIT AND MAY THE MAGGOT THAT SPOUND YOU BASTERDS DIE A million deaths in hell!

  • @Jerkicus ?

  • why is she talkin and not working on the hot dogs in her mouth

  • lisa ann is better...

  • Her mouth keeps moving but no meaning comes out. How profoundly insane that is.

  • ...i would do her....so hard

  • Being in the army isn't the only means of loyalty, palin

  • Hero of the stupid...

  • she is the definition of milf..

  • @rockstar777ryan You can't give what you don't have there ryan. You don't even need to reply because your own words have already revealed your level of intellect.

  • @shcotty43 Stop being a snob. It was a joke.. Get that stick out your ass. It's Youtube - you did NOTHING with your comment.

  • @rockstar777ryan So would Todd.

  • @rockstar777ryan

    If U took one of your sperms and lobotomized it... it would still have a bigger IQ than Sarah.

    SO ! Everytime she goes "down" on her husband, her IQ raises 500% :)

  • @rockstar777ryan I find it rather ironic that a disgusting and disrespectful comment like that receives 45 votes of approval, (presumably from people with more democratic political leanings) above a comment describing how nasty and hateful the *republicans* are.

    Do you people not think about what you are saying? Feel free to dislike her (as I do) but she is a wife and a mother and does not deserve such crude and cruel remarks. I wonder if you'd say that in front of her husband, macho man.

  • @ShawDAMAN Sarah Palin should be brutally skullfucked.

  • @ShawDAMAN I agree with both of you because I like to eat cake and sodomize it as well whenever possible.

  • @ShawDAMAN i agree. some people act as if they they're einstein comapred to palin. i disagree with palin and think she would be a disaster for america but the personal attacks are just boring now.

  • @rockstar777ryan

    But you'd need a penis for that. And you liberal moron don't have one, do you?

  • Palin is a whore.

  • "one and only son"? wtf doesn't she have another one?

  • @1234blahluv This was before her last son was born, I guess.

  • she is not a human !!!! she is a Christian....

  • @manmachine30 .........What? Are you saying she is not Human because she is a Christian???

  • She may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but damn she's sexy!

  • THINK THE MESSIAH IS COMING? TAKE MY MONEY!! watch?v=Tt7eCh_mr3w

  • I wonder if she ordered her son to enlist in the military so she could use him as a talking point again and again? It's truly pathetic if she thinks his inevitable deployment to Iraq is "securing and defending" the U.S. I think all soldiers are very brave for putting their lives on the line, but he gets blown up by some roadside bomb over there, it will have been for nothing, frankly.

  • Her scripts are just so unnatural. "Doing all that WEE can to secure THEESE UNITED STATES."

  • Most of that is what Im reading in the news about america too. I was in Greece and while everybody was talking about the economy, there was no visible poverty like you see across USA. Lets not forget its the all american financial crisis were taking part in. The countries that were hit the hardest were those that had a bit too much faith in the US economy. Im quite confident they wont be making that mistake again. Im not suggesting USA will go down but saying others got it worse doesnt help.

  • As europe prospers with the European Union and the Euro as direct counterpart to USA and the dollar, its amazing to see how left behind america emerges. Held back by your desperately conservative biblethumping policies. Your country has 2 political parties that completly dominate so that no other parties can be started with fresh ideas. This... isnt even democracy. Your 100 million dollar freakshow elections are about who gets to be famous for the next 4 years. Not what policies to use.

  • And this dumb freakshow woman is the next step in evolution for america ?

    With her housewife logic and desperate lack of qualifications, she wouldnt even be fit to run a company here. Much less a senate or a god damn country. I guess thats why every country out there is passing america by these days.

  • You speak in very vague concepts. Even more generalising than me. Feel free to elaborate.

  • this woman would never survive Irish or British politics, she barely knows her own, thank god she never made it with McCain, America has a population of 305 million and this is the 2nd best one half of the fence could come up with, God bless sensible people.

  • When the one liners are getting too much work, the Palinites just push the SPAM button.

    Their only defense now is SPAM and/or BS. REAL Americans (WITH debating skills), can only laugh at that "challenge".

    Can't wait for the next round of debates. Whom can the Tea Party send into the ring? Another Witchiepooh? Maybe that old Death Panel goveror from AZ? They WILL send a CHRISTIAN WOMAN with hot body, so the "selection" is limited. Palin will probably pass on that big shame. Good for her!

  • Are you the type of Republican who is in desperate fear of EQUALITY?

    How about the type of Republican who is afraid of giving too much and not getting enough? Are you THAT type, too?

    Or maybe the type who wants sacxrifices and belt-tightening from OTHERS, never seeing any need to practice what he preaches?

    What type of Republican would you say JESUS would have been? YOUR type, or perhaps the type we read about in the Bible, the one who actually FOLLOWS the Golden Rule?

  • @mdmusil You're damn right -- I am afraid of giving too much TO THE BLEEPING POLITICIANS!!! What, did you think, it goes straight from them to the po folk? They keep saying "TRUST US, TRUST US," and they keep screwing you over, time after time after ...

    I would say conservatives have a special duty to give in private life. But when someone points a gun to your kneecap and says "give, OR ELSE," that ain't no friggin golden rule. That's tyranny, bub, and the REVOLUTION IS COMING.

  • Somehow they found someone that makes george bush look like spinoza. She should be entombed in an iron crucifix and buried underground. Dangerously stupid woman.

  • She still talks like a teenage pageant...

  • I wonder when a Loughner type will make a name for himself and rid humanity of this cretin(Palin).

  • @HUMANSAREBENEATHME Having read your hateful comment, I agree with your screen name to this extent: human beings and you are definitely not on the same level. But you've got the respective altitudes all wrong.

  • holy shit is this girl an idiot.....how embarrassing to be part of the same country that produces cow pies like this.

  • @abortfailure7646 Were you embarrassed by the fact that she is a woman? Or by the obvious pride she takes in her son who is about to serve his country in uniform and risk his neck so that overweight failures can enjoy the right to live in their parents' basement and post misogynistic vitriol on youtube?

  • You dont honestly believe americans are sent to kill and die in fucking Iraq so that the rest of america can enjoy their lives in peace ? Thats 1960s propaganda. You cannot seriously be that dumb today. War is and always has been the rich protecting their own interrests by sending off the lower classes to die. Today its about oil. Never about world peace or your god damn democracy.

  • @Janusha Yes, yes we do. Its really quite absurd that she has any pull at all.

  • @wrightman690 She only has pull because she talks on a level that dumbass people can understand. So a messege for anyone running for office, make it simple if you want votes.

  • Comment removed

  • @carnypimp It's ironic how you suggest that Palin's political supporters are "dumbass," yet your post is replete with infantile grammar, poor spelling, and intellectually puerile ideas.

  • @dseanmat Well if they aint dumb they are brainwashed because she is stupid.

  • I love this, I had no idea this footage even existed! Please show more!

  • I'd get a monica lewinsky under the desk job from this skank.

  • I bet every politician backing her iust wants a nice blowj from this bitch.

  • Sarah Palin or Miss Teen South Carolina:

    "I personally believe that U.S Americans are unable to do so because uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as South Africa and The Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S should help the U.S should help South Africa and should help The Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children"

  • Rose: "Who do you favor?" Palin: "I'm undecided." Does this moron ever give a straight answer?

  • Get back in the kitchen you over patriotic bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • A hot gal! I wish she would adopt me!

  • This interview clip wasn't that bad. This was before she started trying to punch above her intellectual weight.

  • Sarah Pain

  • It would be ironic if she fell out of the 'coptor while taking cheap shots at carrabou or moose and happened to get skewered on a 7 point antlers.

  • Palin needs a brain transplant just to get her head screwed on right.

  • Republicans have mastered the art of distraction by pointing out the straw in the eyes of their critics, while avoiding any discussion about the rafter stricking from their own eye.

  • Dont you americans get embarrassed when fronting this housewife for presidencial candidate ? It sure is embarrassing to watch.

  • @Janusha More than you can imagine. 

  • @Janusha I've been telling people I know this and I'm going to say it here: she's in the news an annoying amount now, but after she runs for President in 2012 and gets her ass handed to her, we're never going to hear shit from her or from her fanclub again. You may not agree with me now but I'm telling you... juuuuust watch. After 2012 people aren't even going to remember who she is.

  • That doesnt change the fact that a dumb housewife with naive housewife logic is allowed to run for president. With all the 100 million dollar backup required. To me that says alot about the desperately conservative biblethumping freakshow you guys call government.

  • @Janusha Those of us who are not openly misogynistic don't get embarrassed. We can agree or disagree respectfully without managing to hate anybody.

  • Oh please. Why do americans always answer any hint of criticism with OMG.. YOU HATE AMERICA !!!

    After all.. there is sooo much to criticise. I dont hate Sarah Palin simply because I say the most obvious things. After all.. Do you want a world where a housewife can end up running the country?

  • @Janusha "You hate America?" Perhaps you should read my post a tad more carefully. My twofold answer to your overtly misogynistic question is thus:

    a) Yes, frankly, I do. Perhaps you're delighted with the job the career politicians have done for us, but I would love it if someone who actually knew how to do something were in charge.

    b) she was, at the time of the election, a sitting governor, not a housewife. Are you really unable to see the difference?

  • Perhaps what passes for politicians over there wouldnt even be qualified to run a small shop here. These Tea Parties on which she chooses to rely seems nothing more than an all day out in the park for bewildered flagwaving fools. Who when asked the simplest question has no clue even what they have written on their own posters. These videos get alot of hits because all the world are mailing them to eachother and laughing at the staggering naivety.

  • Then you quite happily spend a trillion around the world firing multimillion dollar a pop intercontinental cruise missiles into worthless clay huts for their "insurgents" and their oil. Preaching democracy. While at home you have 2 parties. Your options are biblethumping conservative or biblethumping conservative. The same guys year after year. Your 100 million dollar freakshow elections are more about who gets to be famous for the next 4 years and less about what policies to follow.

  • @Janusha Thank you for your remarkably uninformed and moronic opinion. If you don't see any difference between the huge-government liberal policies of Barack Obama and those who promote small-government conservatism, then you are even less insightful than I thought you were (and let's just say I wasn't exactly impressed before).

  • @Janusha Were they still laughing after Election Day of 2010? I wouldn't know, because I wouldn't have been able to hear them over the din of my own laughter, and the cacaphony of your self-flagellation for being foolish and arrogant enough to dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as a "bewildered flagwaving fool." While you were busy laughing at them, they took over the United States House of Representatives and enough Senate seats to derail the leftist agenda. I don't hear you laughing now.

  • First off.. you know full well that if I was moronic and uninformed I wouldnt be able to compose any of that. While you can live in that environment and see different nuances here and there, its all desperately biblethumping consertavism from here.

    And yes.. isnt it worrying that these afore mentioned bewildered fools represent such majority that they actually take over the US House of Representatives. How that stops me from laughing tho is beyond me. The ongoing freakshow is still amazing.

  • @Janusha On behalf of the entire United States of America, without which whatever [presumably non-English speaking] country you're presently infesting would likely not exist, I can only say say how deeply sorry I am that we as a nation have failed to conform to your high standards. Hopefully when you're all done judging us we'll be able to somehow get our act together so as to be more pleasing unto thee.

  • when americans lash out in anger they only manage to display their desperate lack of knowledge of the world outside "gods own country" Its amazing how they leap forth fist in the air in defense of freedom and libertyyy at any hint of criticism. Whether the topic is economics, failed car business, biblethumping politics or god help us all, your army of world conquest proportions, every discussion inevitably ends in OMG... YOU HATE AMERICA!!! Followed by frantic flagwaving.

  • This notion that somehow, the rest of the free world wouldnt exsist without america. That you have patented a special kind of freeeedom that the rest of us just wouldnt understand. That we live and prosper by the grace of your nuclear arsenal. That your armed forces does anything but bomb third world goatherding ragheads for their oil. Youknow. USA had its time while Europe (where history comes from... Even your history) was recovering from 2 world wars. Today however all you have are big words.

  • @Janusha Your "recovery" from both of those world wars would have gone a lot less smoothly for you had it not been for this country, including two generations of my family. You'd be a lampshade today had it not been for this country. And all you have to say about America consists of mindless truculence, sophistry, and canned socialist aphorisms. If you are a typical product of your sideline-sitting socialist backwater then I am even more grateful than ever to have been born in this country.

  • While we are grateful for the american assistance, you should know that USA entered at the final hour. Both times. As everything out of america, your war efforts were greatly exaggerated. Infact the US-contribution accounts for a mere 2.2% of military losses in WW2. Russia did most of the chasing Nazis business but they became the new badguy in the coldwar. So USA wrote them out of the books and movies. America grew fat and narcissistic off the money we had to pay you back the following decades.

  • 70 years later ameircas favourite oneliner is still "you would all be speaking german by now if.." Not only is it wildly inaccurate but more than a bit annoying.

    Now that European Union rises as a direct counterpart to USA and the dollar, its amazing to see how hopelessly left behind USA emerges. Held back by their desperately conservative biblethumping politicians rambling on about the evils of SOOOCIALISM, nazism, communism and other words ending in -ism that they also dont know what means.

  • @Janusha I don't think socialism is evil. Just stupid. And judging from the coming decline in Great Britain, France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Ireland, and elsewhere across socialist Europe, it's also quite silly. But I'm not surprised that you like it, since socialism enables intellectually lazy people to do nothing and still be cared for with other people's money and other people's hard work.

  • @Janusha The 2.2% figure you cite is rather irrelevant in light of the fact that we did a hell of a lot more than 2.2% of the winning.

  • Yes but you see you think socialism is stupid because america doesnt have it... Because your politicians turn around and point dramatically into the camera and say YOU DONT WANT TO BE LIKE THOSE SOOOCIALIST COUNTRIES DO YOU!! Thereby inplanting sooocialism into feebleminded flagwaving fools right alongside communism, marxsism, nazism and all those other words that end in -ism. All that drama distracts you from seeing that sooocialism is the basis for every single modern nation out there.

  • Those countries you mention... yeah we all felt the effects of the all american financial crisis but make no mistake. It was american made. And america got it worst. It doesnt get any better by spreading the blame or trying to say others got it worse. Look at Usdebtclock org. USA owes more money than they have and lost another 14 trillion fiscal dollars in the financial mess. Meanwhile your countrys lack of soooocialism, breeds crime and an ever increasing gap between the classes.

  • If americans were able to admit fault, accept criticism or look abroad for answers, they might not be in the shit they are in these days. If they could agree that.. yeah. its a bit broken. Then we, the rest of the world, might say: Dont worry, It will be better. Or even help.

    But instead you keep on being the bully and your wounds are self inflicted. Most of you think no matter how bad it gets, its better than not being american. As if everything outside is a barren wasteland full of ragheads.

  • @Janusha Your ignorant and bigoted generalizations about Americans are no more enlightened nor acceptable than generalizations about blacks, Muslims, or gays. Bigotry is bigotry.

  • Oh the racism card. Interesting... So americans are their own race now ? I dont know whats worse.. That you think americans are some fragile minority that is being oppressed or that you think If I moved to america, I would become a different race. Where do you think your grandparents came from anyway. Infact... This pathological aversion towards any foreign influence, frantic flagwaving and illusions of grandeour is all very recent. Your nation is still very young.

  • Infact Europe was always the center of civilization. Only very recently while Europe were recovering from 2 world wars were USA able to rise as a super power. In those 2 generations you forgot where you came from. Got used to shouting stuff like AMERICA... BEST IN THE WOOORLD. GODS OWN COUNTRY. Im sure that went down well in the 60s when they tought you to fear communism and sooocialism. Luckily however Europe is immune to american threats. After all.. it would be like slapping your parents.

  • @Janusha Wrong again. It was Stalin's purges and Gulags and Mao's ingenious collectivization policies which led to the deaths of millions of innocent people and which taught us to fear communism and collectivism!

  • Collectivism now ? Gulags were a concern for people within russia. Never extended elsewhere. USAs scare tactics were the same then as today. Change "terrorist" for "communist" and you can pretty much swap the speeches over from the 60s and nobody would notice a difference. Youknow instead of frantically defending libertyy and freedom, to which Im no threat anyway, you might learn a few things. I might forexample explain to you how the US system breeds the worst crimerates of the free world.

  • @Janusha You might indeed, but you'd be factually wrong. Of course that hasn't stopped you from discharging uninformed opinions hitherto, so why stop now?

    I'll give you credit for this: you are the only person I have ever observed defending the Gulag system. That may be stupid and evil, but it's definitely unique, I'll give you that!

  • @Janusha For your elucidation, perhaps I should tell you that Once Upon a Time there was a huge group of countries called the Soviet Bloc. And people who lived in those countries were violently taken over by the expansionist Soviet Union, and those poor people had no political freedoms but were forced to live in a totalitarian police state.

  • And america is not such totalitarian police state? instead of 1 political party as you see in dictatorships, ameirca has 2. Thats only a marginal improvement. Those 2 are dominating. Preventing any new parties with fresh blood and new ideas to enter the scene. Where is the democracy in this. You have 2-3 major insurance companies, 3 major oilcompanies, You get to elect president but you have no choice in what party that leads you. Their leaders went to the same universities, go to the same

  • -countryclubs. There are only 3-4 major media houses that runs all papers, radio, tv networks. Just like your car business.. you had only 3 companies offering a wide selection of models but underneath they were all the same cars redressed and resold by sprinkling yesteryears tech with patriotism
