  • The whole federal government is looking more and more like burny madeoff inc. They have TSA to keep us looking at eachother as the madeoffs in our government make off with the countrys wealth!

  • I was really into this clip, until I looked at the date and realized it's from almost a year ago. And what happened? NOTHING. Rahm didn't get in any trouble at all and he continued to ignore the left just as always.

  • Blockygraphics = Asslicker

  • I don't why Obama appointed Rahm Emanuel tot he position as Chief of Staff. He is obviously a pro-war and corporatist Democrat who is fucking Washington up.

  • oh yea you got it all figured out then do something about it

  • Human rights, not civil rights.

  • This isn't a lonely hearts dating section.

  • .. no matter what you are ..

    .. in order to get your way ..

    .. you must pose a credible threat.

  • Hamsher and Norquist are doing our republic a service here.

    Americans of all stripes believe in law and order. And frankly, an "unlimited" bailout of Fannie&Freddie sounds a lot like unlimited theft from the US taxpayer.

  • I agree with bigerturtle!!

  • What a bitch.

  • puts kraut on his chicago dog, with ketchup.

  • Excellent point about the powerful (already elected or appointed) being smug about their constituency. We saw the same attitude from Cheney regarding the Republicans in Congress. Yes, occasionally, the right and left should team up, but I think overall the Democrats are, on the whole, more self-critical than the Republicans. They (Republicans) still don't take responsibility for the foreign policy debacle they've tied us to, and I doubt they ever will.

  • Rahm Emanuel has big business' money up his ass. That's why he was so intent on making big business profit and killing Health Care reform among other things.

  • it's incredible how radicalized this country has fallen with leftism. i don;t ever see it going back. my town used to be a nice quiet place and now niggers and illegal immigrants flood the streets.

    just remember that this is YOUR utopia now and everyhting is on YOUR watch

  • Fuck off dopey

  • please punch them in the face literally

  • I say vote for the independent party though the republicans are just as guilty of big govrnment tripling in size. Republicans are comies too.

  • it's not big government that got us into this trouble, it was removing government regulation like the glass-steagal act, consumer protection, too big to fail etc.

    conservatism= FAILURE

  • well your right about that but the governmnet has taken over of insurance companys, banks, health care, cap and trade, and even our water supply. The fact that big government is ignoring our constitution and doing away with our civil libertys just blows my mind. The are incrementlly turning this country into comuisum.

  • wow you're pretty retarded, aren't you? you don't even know what communism means. heck, you can't even spell it. And people like you support giving our liberty away, to corporate dictators.

  • Actually the government is really Fascism and it is when govenment takes control of all industry in a country. This is exactly what is happening now. They are in control of the unions banks insurance comapanys GM and now health care (20% of our economi is health care) The insurance companys wrote the bill. I will try to be more careful of my spelling. they are pushing for control of all water rights, gun control. They are working on banning free speach. Come on man its going to be a dictatorship

  • I thought liberals were supposed to be the kind and caring? You use the term "retarded".Just like rahm emanuel!

  • LMAO another dumb republican. it is very clear from your post that you don't understand everything, you just call everyone who disagrees with your kool aid drinking ideology a "commie".

    the world is a big more complex than that. unfortunately your brain isn't and can't keep up

  • I am no longer a supporter of the repubiicans. These people when they get there New world goverment in place are going to nerve gas 90 percent of the populuation so you better wake up.

  • Y'fucking retard

  • Totol Contol is the name of the game. They want total control of everone. They will pay you just enough to be next to broke like a share cropper

  • are you really that retarded? really??? that is why republicans opposed minimum wage and unions and any government regulation- because they want you to be paid like a sweat shop worker while the rest goes to fortune 500 CEOs who already make more while they sleep at night than the average american in a year.

    that is why after 8 years of Bush our middle class and our country is so weak- all the anti-regulation policies of conservatives are set up to destroy our quality of life

  • you sound like a paid shill for the nwo! you are crazy if you believe this bull!  what a load of crap1

  • no you're fucking crazy and ignorant. and yes we will win in 2012 again. blow me.

  • Dream on, the dems are finished after bankrupting america the republicans will dominate the house and the senate in the next election!

  • LMFAO republicans already bankrupted america.

    and how do they plan to "dominate" senate and house with a 30% approval rating?

    you must live with your head up your ass

  • Thats real a real mature comment,but what else would you expect from a liberal?

  • Cap and Trade WILL Bankrupt ALL Business! Then any one left working will be working for our socialist government. Thats they way they want us, totally dependent on them. GET IT!

  • Shouldn't TYT be focuing on Rahm Emmanuel being a known Jewish extremist, who effectively holds the most important position after the Presidency and is controlling Obama via AIPAC into more wars for Israel?

  • What's going on here with this video? Jan Hamsher hits rahm emanuel over the head. I'm hoping it makes what they did to baby alaskan seals look like childs play,This is the new kid on the block,That feels you should never waste a crisis moment in the homeland.That comment alone cost the new obama administration a double digit loss

  • no, what cost them a double digit loss was choosing wall street instead of main street on health care, financial reform, etc

  • That was the other double digit loss.He went from 75% down to 46%, And his term is only a year old

  • O U ASSHOLES, Borrowing money from japan,That's like borrowing money from a homeless person.But i hate to be the bearer of bad news,Or pop the washington bubble,I think at this point and time they might need their lent money back, If you watch bloomberg news.Little hard to payback money if you're still asking to borrow more to keep your country from collapsing! Got to go, AS YOU WERE

  • Where are all the capitalist cheerleaders in washington,They become obsolete. What part of importing cheap foreign labor, And exporting middle class jobs was going to be good for america.Now with most states relying on borrowed money from 3rd world nations not to lay-off police, firemen, state workers, And make government payroll.Capitalism might have caused socialism.Man what does one say to something like that.Guess just change your religion with no choice

  • Washington roamed the world sparing no expense of our tax dollars using human rights issues to give our industrial and manufacture base to 3rd world countries.ACCOMPLISHMENTS.Kids thrown into sweat shops making 25 cents an hour, And flooding our nation with cheap junk products,So when your kids are fighting over 25 cents an hour jobs with 4 billion kids in sweat shops don't forget to give washington a round of applause.They get real bubbly When they NOW have to applaud themselves. I'VE NOTICED

  • There's a cancer that has grown in washington that only WE THE PEOPLE can remove.If you vote your incumbent back into office.You deserve this economy.The republicans AND democrats take turns running the country into the ground ,Then blame each other,It's called THEFT BY DECEPTION.I would respect the republicans AND democrats just a little bit more if they would just come out and tell us.We ran the country into the ground and we have absolutely no idea how to fix it

  • I have a better idea. A third party. Through all the R's and D's out, and go with a third party.

    The only way it would work, is for people to be willing to throw the R's and D's under the bus and give it try.

    Giving a third party a shot could hardly be any worse than what the R's and D's have brought us.

  • All of our criminal representives and senitors all of our leaders have suceeded in bankrupting america it just about over now. There is not going to be america or even a world economy left to rape anymore their fun will be over soon. You sir and we are all doomed.

  • America is doomed but the world economy will be stronger than ever. The last decade was very good for south america, russia, china, india, south east asia, very good for many developing countries

  • These countries you mention will be hurt if the dollar colaspes and by cap and trade. the whole worlds economy is hurting right now believe me.

  • nobody will be hurt by cap and trade. the world needs a energy revolution and that is what cap and trade will give us.

    you need to stop thinking short term like lose moron speculators and bankers and start thinking long term. that is the problem with you inept conservatives.

    if cap and trade doesn't pass USA will be the single country hurt by it the most. USA will collapse once price of oil goes over $120 permanently.

  • Cap and Tade is designed to finsh off the rest of the bisnesses left in the united states. It will fund the New World Government. We will all be slaves to the New World Goverment!

  • cap and trade will save america, otherwise China and European Union will run away from us as economic powers.

    the people who oppose cap and trade are the same people who supported the removal of regulations that led to this economic crises- the scumbags who don't care about anything except a quick cheap dollar at the expense of the american people and our future

  • This video content is representative of why all left leaning blogs, websites ,radio and TV programming can't garner an audience.

    BORING & INEPT.

  • Which is why a boring & inept liberal channel like TheYoungTurks won the podcast award over the Limbaugh show.

    I guess somebody's perspective has just become invalid *rolls eyes*.

  • Oh and just on a matter of concept, I'm sure a right-leaning, demagoguing, animated fist-pumping conservative show would be "less boring and inept" in your words than a show that actually sticks to reality and reasoning.

    Just like a Disney movie would be more colorful than a documentary. Just like WWE is more watchable than real wrestling. Just like video games are preferable over learning. Need I go on on why your logic fails?

  • Cenk is pretty Right Wing in the end.

    How intriguing if it were the woman or the back guy that had gone to Columbia and Wharton.

  • Iraq is producing 2 1/2 million barrels of oil and rising. It could reach 6 million. If other sources(Iran) continue output then the price could drop dramatically. Therefore ,in order to keep the price up,the US throws sanctions at Iran to curb its oil production. Follow the money every time,that's what's going on.

  • Big Government is Tony the tiger GREAT.

    Gimme more.

  • 'bout time heads roll at Freddie and Fannie. *Dead Fish* Rahm helped spawn the *housing bubble*, which created this great economic crisis.

    Rahm said, "Never waist a good crisis". Well Rahm, the question remains; can the investigation help us in returning the favor, a crisis for a crisis.

  • Emanuel had nothing to do with the real estate collapse.

    Period.

    Nor did Freddie and Fannie.

    That is a Right Wing myth, and as usual the Right Wing has it backwards.

  • @mopsius

    pp*real estate collapse a myth*

    To clarify, Rahm was just one of the members at corrupt FM. It remains to be seen if he had any direct connection with the cooked books that led to 10's of millions in bonuses to others.

    ie: CEO Franklin Reins made $20 Million in 2003 alone. I can understand that if you are a true partisan then you can't accept that.

    The collapse of real estate has much to do with loans in default. Yes, there were other factors that set this up for failure. Bush!!

  • The real estate collapse had nothing to do with Fannie May or Freddie Mac or CRA--just the reverse.

    That is Right Wing mythology--reversing cause and effect, among other things.

    And Emanuel had nothing to do with it either.

  • Still deluded by the left/right diversion, eh?

  • The Right Wing has to be disconnected from life support.

    They are too expensive.

  • Comment removed

  • Pity--the idea of a gulag for them in Alaska has signal attractions.

    Might even get some great literature out of it like, "One Day In The Life Of Glenn Beckovich."

  • Glenn Beck in foot cloths and felt boots pouring concrete at -20F below.

  • As long as they get their Vodka and non-filtered cigs, they will be content.

  • Rahm Emanuel is also a closet gay, cherry on top, irrelevant

  • Is ballet necessarily gay, then superc? Many Russians disagree.

    Nor does it matter much whether it is or not.

    Now got back to your South Park.

  • Hi mopsius! Oh wait, who said he is gay because he went to Ballet school again?

  • "Ballet" is pronounced "Bahl-lay", superc, not "Bal-lette".

  • omg what would i do without you faux grammar police?! thank you soooo much. if you're not yet in Mr. Emanuel's payroll then you better Rahm your pretty self in it. I mean ram.

  • Nada.

  • rahm is a zionazi & his dad was a terrorist

  • Rockne had the Four Horsemen study ballet, did he not?

  • Comi-cons can be a gas.

  • Reminds me of that quote from the Blues Brothers. "The Jew is using the nigger as muscle against you, the white man".

  • Cenk's obsession with strength spotlights his weakness. Its called overcompensating. He has the reasoning skills of a 5 year old. Instead of arguing the Fannie Mae should be broken up into smaller companies to reduce risk, or securities should have tigher controls to limit the amount of leveraging underwriters can employ. He is gleefully cheering on a "roundhouse 2x4 to Rahm Fucking Emanuel" who could give a rat's ass about Grover Norquist or Jane Hamsher. Calm down cowboy.

  • Cenk is the typical product of the madrassahs that have sprung up in Turkey since Al Quaeda.

  • @adamitshelanu is guilty

  • well, I see this video doesn't play now. Interesting

  • Lol, Rahm Emanuel is awesome.

  • Gayo 1670 you dumb fuck.

  • FYI Nillbud :^/

    Father a member Irgun militant Zionist group in Palestine between 1931 and 1948 Mother, Marsha Smulevitz, was the daughter of a Chicago union organizer. She worked in the civil rights movement and owned, briefly, a local rock and roll club. Rahm means lofty in Hebrew. The surname Emanuel , adopted by the family in honor of his father's brother Emanuel Auerbach, means God is with us. Sources conflict as to whether the family changed its name from Auerbach in 1933 or 1938.

  • Why is that so bad?

  • "You own yourself".

    Ron Paul.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    The same fucking Born Again sucker punch, over and over an over.

  • wtf? why wont this play??

  • Hear, hear!

  • Rahm's past is questionable & dark. Rahm will bring down the Omaba's presidency to dust. Obama, earlier is better to get rid of this bastard (israeli's 5th column).

  • I HATE Rahm Emanuel. Has he done a single thing that's good for the American people?

    Jane's really showing the way here. We need to team up with the people on the right that make sense. There are good points being made by them, and there are issues we can both agree on.

    Team up with them, show what bipartisanship means, and show these corrupt bastards for what they truly are, SCUM.

  • The Right needs to be liquidated, as a bad asset is liquidated.

    That includes the Paulistas, who are at bottom British Classic Liberal Social Darwinists.

    Sweet dreams, Myschly.

  • They suck, and it would undoubtedly be nice if they were gone. But that's more easily said than done. But at the same time, they can be very anti-establishment, and the establishment is what liberals are struggling with at the moment. So, if there is a point where you agree with a guy like Norquist (who is a nut, but a respected one) on a specific issue, using his influence to sway a few votes isn't bad. More importantly, it sends a message "if you have a point that's not crap, we'll hear you."

  • The Right needs to be liquidated, as a bad asset is liquidated.

    Allying with Norquist and targeting Emanuel is lunacy.

    Allying with Emanuel and targeting Norquist--now that makes sense, even for a radical

  • Might as well throw in Hamsher for good measure too.

    Sweet dreams, mes enfants.

  • But Emmanuel isn't gonna target Norquist. He's a power broker, and an influence wielder like Norquist isn't gonna catch anything from him unless he seriously crosses him or gets in the way of his power politics. Which is what makes Rahm so dangerous.

  • You are playing a dated game. Brandt761.

  • They are both bad, but Emmanuel has more direct power at the moment. So he's the bigger problem for us, because he's corrupting progressive policy making (although probably no more so than Obama himself).

    Personally, I'm judging this issue on it's own merits. It simply makes sense to re-open the investigation in question. If Norquist agrees or doesn't, isn't really important to me in the final analysis.

  • Emanuel is extremely intelligent and sui generis.

    Fuck Norquist and fuck Hamsher.

  • Axelrod needs to be sent of as plenipotentiary to Antarctica.

  • Nah there are a couple of people on the right that are correct on a few issues. Ron Paul may be bat-shit crazy on a couple of issues, but why not work with him on issues you agree on?

    That's why you should have loads of different voices. There's always some issue where people can agree, and if working together on that issue helps beat the corporatists, then why not go for it?

    The problem is that most right-wingers in America are just plain crazy and have no common sense at all.

  • Issues exist independently of this or that group urging them.

    The US Right is not only not necessary--its immediate liquidation is required, as a bad asset is liquidated.

  • Well yes, the US Right is definitely a negative force on the world, and everyone would be better off if it didn't exist.

    However, it does, and since the US media is so retarded/corrupt, we'll have to work with the few sensible people on the right, on the issues that they are sensible on, to be able to prevent the corrupt Democrats from screwing up the country.

  • In a mere eight years the damage that Bush and Cheney did to the US and the world is close to mindboggling.

  • Yepp, and not to make the Bush/Cheney-administration sound like something less than the evil it was, basically every American administration during the 20th century did mind-boggling things. Only difference is with the older ones it's mostly in South America or small countries, and with Reagan & Bush1&2 it's practically everything they did.

  • True enough, Myschkl.

    Clinton contributed to the catastrophe under Bush and Cheney--no doubt of that.

    The unprovoked video game war against Yugoslavia, for example, set up the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

  • Clinton's role in deregulation and in getting rid of long term bonds also contributed.

    Keeping Greenspan around was even worse.

    The incompetent leading the incompetent.

    For all that it was Bush and Cheney that took the US, and much of the world, off the cliff.

  • Did Rahm Emanuel ever get around to paying all the personal back taxes he owed?

  • its unbelievable how greedy these people are

  • Jane Hamsher knows what evil lurks in the hearts of politicians.

  • So what else is new?

    And what evil lurks in the heart of Jane Hamsher?

  • Emanuel taks to Carville and Stephanopoulos near every day.

    No wonder the Republicans are targeting him.

    They are scared shitless.

  • None whatsoever.

  • expel this ju terrorost !

  • Can I get a super size fries with that new world order?

  • WOW! why am I not surprised by this, Rahm Emanuel is a criminal.

  • funny how this video wont stream. i see others are having the same problem. ist it also curious that none of the "related" videos include an r. emanuel story? weird.

  • Google is fucking up YouTube pretty hard!

  • that IS odd. very strange.

  • WTF? This video won't play and all other videos do. Really fucking annoying google. Make me watch the ad, they you refuse to play the video.

  • after the freakin' ad - drag the progress slider to nearly the end...then back to 0:02. it will work.

  • well i really need to find somebody who clicks with me!

  • fuck you and your spam

  • that bastard needs to be investigated... Him and Charlie Wrangles.. what happened with his investigation?

  • Ah, Rangel now too? And Conyers and Waters?

    And the Right Wing beat goes on, eh?

  • rahm emanuel is such a fuck.

  • Cenk and Jane have hopped on a fast train to nowhere,

  • Still isn't playing. Really frustrating.

  • ever get it to play?

  • press play

  • wont play

  • Wait a minute... IMHO this is a pretty big deal, but where's the coverage? I like to get news from as many sources as possible so I can form an intelligent opinion. The only people I could find giving it any attention are TYT, a handful of bloggers and Fox.

    The Administration needs to address this and the left wing media needs to do some kind of reporting on it.

    If not, I'll be forced to base my opinions on what they consider to be "non-news" sources.

  • umm, TYT is left wing media

    I am sure air america is also talking about it.

    lefty blogs are.

    But theres no other left wing media.

    Fox only did it because its anti-obama.

    They will cover anything thats against the left, even the left attacking the left if they think there will be blood.

    But there isnt much sensationalism here really. Its a group going after a semi-consequencial character.

    The other major stations might not think theres much meat on the bone and not enough to draw audiences

  • Obama should fire Rahm Emanuel . He's definitely harming the progressives who put Obama in power.

  • @Guernicaman I wish that was true, but Obama won progressives with a Wall Street financed campaign. Rahm Emanuel's prominence in the administration betrays Obama's genuine priorities

  • Obama was bought off around Spring or Summer 08, not too much earlier.

    Most Progressives voted and worked for him because Kuchinich threw his i support to Obama.

    Not much has changed on that score--most Progressives knew he had been bought.

    Voting Obama was a calculation.

  • Attacking Ram Emanuel is just plain stupid.

  • Rahm is a Zionist lap dog

  • But puting him in prison is just plain smart. Let's face it, he's scum and he will always be scum.

  • Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rice in prison is a good start.

    And Emanuel may help put them there.

  • Keep dreaming. Have you figured out why the Obama adminstration has refused to investigate the Bush administration for war crimes? It's because the same people work the puppet strings on both of them. Emanuel would look great bunking in the same cell with Bush and Cheney. In case you haven't figured out when the two wars will end, it's going to be when china and other lending countries cut the funding. Then the dollar will fall which is all part of their plan to establish the NAU.

  • Welcome to the NEW WORLD ORDER...my I have your order?

  • @elvgero15 I'll have a bilderburger with extra blood please

  • Another Right Winger then, fywacia--Paulistia or teabagger one supposes.

    If not, you will catch up one of these decades.

  • Most rogressives voted for Obama because theyu knew Hillary was a phony and unelectable.

  • Did he? I remember him receiving a TON of money from private progressive donations who believed in his message of TRUE CHANGE. I believe he just wants to be Lincoln too badly and like Lincoln win over his critics and his enemies. But times have changed. He hasn't won any conservatives and he's losing the progressives that put him in power and sacrificed their time, money and energy during his campaign.

  • We need to start punching libs in the face for wasting money on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!

  • would love to see emanuel investigated along with dodd and all the other crooks in washington!!!

    modern day mafia!!

  • There is NO left Vs Right, fools.. its textbook divide & conquer... part of the show.

  • Paul is a Born Again Randian crypto-racist Classic British Liberal Social Darwinist, which is almost as Right as the rest of the lunatic Republicans.

    The Democrats are mostly--though not all--Corporate Fascist Imperialists.

    There is no return to status quo ante.  Period.

    The Scoop Jackson Democrats are fucking around in Latin American again, as in Colombia.

    The backdraft will be intense when it comes.

  • am I the only one that proofreads their comments?

  • ppl like myself who write alot for school probably hate having to do it on their free time.

  • When mopsius taught he had three simple rules in regard to papers.

    (1) if it was brilliant, it was brilliant, no matter how much an orthographical or typographical mess, as long as it was decipherable. This encouraged brilliance.

  • (2) if it was in the middle, from first class to mediocre, the paper got all of mopsius' valuable time and attention, corrections, and constructive and destructive criticism.

  • (3)if criticizing the paper took longer than it took to read the paper, and consisted in having to rewrite a new paper in order to criticize it properly, the paper got thrown away and an invitation was extended to start over from scratch.

  • No, sometimes mopsius proofs MPGfanatic's comments:

    "Am I the only one that proofs his, her, or its comments?"

    Anyway, mopsius could use someone to proof mopsius' commas.

  • just pretend every proper comment was proofread

  • can't watch vid!

  • Obama works for the chicago mafia and the clinton cartel

  • What would we ever do without our elected leaders?

  • maybe we could then do real democracy and capitalism.

  • hamsher is a genius. she plows forward on issues and always has her "ducks in a row" lol. like cenk says "pow" 2x4 across the head lol. she's got ppl diggin up dirt on "everybody" . can't just sweep it under the rug cause hamsher is sittin under there waitin to collect it and file it for future use lol. wonder how many polititions are gonna be retireing soon( thinking " WTF might she have on me") to get away from the "elbow off the top rope" lol.

  • 100% agree Jenk!

  • savior02: i dont suppose you even know what a schmuck is do you? Or even what language the word is from? (NOTE: If you have to google it you fail)

  • Ram Emanuel as chief of staff was Obama's first mistake

  • obama's change looks alot like bush. In fact obama is a fucktard cuz he copy alot of bush policy

  • Kinda wish he did. Bush got stuff done, at least...

  • Its more to be swept under the white house front door rug. its the media that will ignore this story and because ram is jewish, the right wing media will ignore this story too. nothing to see here.

  • @Splangy1 both mate...

  • You're a peasant protecting the manor, you know that, right?

  • @savior02 What about commys is progressive?

    And what is a commy in your opinion? Can you reply without first googling the definition of commy?

  • @dardonZ lol he said "commy" what is he? 70?

  • Lol Well if hes not his news is =P

    lol

  • Dude, this coming from a guy that thinks every leftist is a communist?

  • You have no idea what either a communist or an american progressive is. Wallow in your ignorance elsewhere mouth-breather. That is of course unless you wish to cease being willfully ignorant?..... I thought not . Go away. what was it you called me ? oh yeah..... Schmuck.

  • <
