How is Politics Like Pickup Basketball?

[Obelisk2290]

money

[hjk798]

that analogy was spot on

money!

[yourmumisadick]

america! this guy is making you dumb, if this is the standard of ameircan tv im glad i dont live there cos i love good tv

[pillagerromanman]

this isnt TV dumbfuck its a weblog

[cadejigs123]

So, Mr. "yourmumisadick" Cenk is unintelligent? The irony is killing me.

[maasicas]

dam ur such an idiot

[cantslowdownstd]

You're calling someone an idiot when you cannot even spell correctly? You can't use the correct form of "You are"?

[rybpo7]

Well said, my friend.

[KlPi79]

Foul! You're a socialist!

[Badangel30]

You are right on the money Cenk! That is a great analogy!

Obama 08!

[REDGHOST8888]

THE POST BELOW ME IS STUPID

[kitkat9288]

You're an idiot. It's called an analogy. The kid wasn't actually Republican.

[localkinebraddah]

yeah you're an idiot dude

[larchmont08]

and your most likely a PUSSY of the highest order. My comment on this FAG is right on; I suspect about 250lb below the belt for this doughy little terrorist. NEVER even played in high school; never mind college? Is there a problem....... YOUNG TURKS? MORE LIKE YOUNG I CAN'T SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLES!!

[localkinebraddah]

brah the point of the video isn't to illustrate how good cenk is a basketball. the point of the basketball analogy is to compare election political strategies to it. you're missing the point.

[soub33]

larchmont08, who cares whether the guy played ball in high school or college? who cares even if you played ball? do you have any intelligent comments about the content of this piece? have you never played ball with a PUSSY who cried foul all night because his game didn't measure up to the other players? that's the point of the piece.

[LookingforProof]

That is the greatest analogy I have ever hear about what the republicans do. I have played pickup basketball with guys just like that. Republicans are also so hipocritical it is just sick.

[fade2blackleet]

I hear Dick Cheney is threw slapping people in the face, now he just shoots people in the face.

[thundavolt]

That's what I call trying to be "too fair". It's when you have to find something or anything wrong with one side just to be able to speak up about what's wrong on the other side.

[craziiadrii923]

R 19-F-hottie here. I'm just saying that girls LOVE this vid. k

[ramone2185]

i usually just let guys like that shoot the ball cuz they'll miss anyway.

[KangaKucha]

thats a cool and ironic event.

[cg66079]

Very good analogy. I am a political guy, I like controversy as long as the discussion is constructive. I have almost given up trying to reason with a lot of the hard liners because my effort is futile. They don't respond to reason. You can say you are wrong here's the proof and they still perpetuate these idiotic rumors like he is a secret Muslim that wants to destroy the US from the inside out. Like his whole life has been a farce to get him to this point so he can screw them over. Ridiculous

[PieToTheFace]

I have played people like that they are annoying.

[biggreen726]

I love your vids, man. 5 stars.

[soularimus]

LOL

I wouldve just threw the ball at the guys face.

"Oi, catch" SMACK!

Now everyone is happy.

[DevaRupa]

Nice analogy Cenk!!!

[alexander1177]

Nice

5Starz

[china416]

"....I lost the ball cause you slapped me in the face..."

lmaaaaaao i know exactly what you sayin.

[yeptwasme]

it takes 'republicans' and 'democrats' for the world to turn... or cause a economic financial crisis.

[luvangel330]

"....I lost the ball cause you slapped me in the face..."

Lets hope that nobody wants to play with the rethuglicans anymore

[dehstehra]

There's a reason I label myself "conservative" rather than "Republican." It's those ridiculous political ploys that get on my nerves. But I believe that both sides do it, so stop the hatin' already. I hate mudslinging

[YawnGod]

Great story.

Good work.

[HungryNomadicLion]

Very nice, yeah, every game of pick up basketball seems to have at least one republican in it!

[timwarneka]

GREAT analogy! Go, Cenk!

[edt22210159]

politics is all about money, damn people when lives are being lost in iraq Obama want budget cuts for people that are fighting for our country. People purposely join army, air force, navy, marines To win the war. They have lost friends, shelter, words and Obama wants to bring them back. These troops have lost so much and they want to finish this war not get taken out of it for no reason. Tghink about it Please. We have gotten greedy with money even the war is all about money for some people.

[Himechansexytightass]

The only budget cut Obama talked about for the military is slowing down the Future Combat System program. McCain wants to end it. Doesn't that make McCain a troop hater?

[bdyan1]

those soldiers fighting for US? u really believe in Bush and Palin dont u? the sooner they come back the better so they dont lose their lives too like their friends!

[Dray90]

moral of the story find a black guy for your team.

We rule in ball

[prokrastinatorSF]

Exactly. Obama '08. Did you see him make that 3 pointer at the military base in Iraq?

hahhahahahaha.

[Thrashaero]

Karl Rove school of basketball..AAAHAHAHA.

[shockboner]

Not that I learned anything new but the analogy was great.

[GregPruden]

Moral of the story:

Play win by 2.

[snapplelemon]

cenk should've played win by two

[oibara2]

bingo.

[moogly81]

the karl rove school of baketball !!! haha

[vanderneut]

Great analogy, one to remember. Five stars, bro.

[TheGoldenWaffle]

That is the most perfect analogy I've heard to explain these last 8 years.

10000000000000000/5 stars

[d3rfliw]

very good analogy

[angelheart715]

Perfect analogy! It's so true, that's exactly what has been going on with this election.

[taylor8407]

Dude, this is the most well put together, well thought out, most on point thing I've ever heard you say.

You put the nail in the coffin Cenk. Keep hitting em like this and we'll have to put you next in line after Rachel Maddow. Can you say TYT on NBC?

[Idtelos]

notice how the McCain campaign puts their banners on almost every video of Youngturks.

[lebaneseameer]

Talk about wasting their money!! It's like Michael Moore buying commercial time during the 700 club!!

[sinistavoicez]

I thought I was just paranoid, but yeah huh they do. Incredible!

[dralavant]

Very well put Cenk.

[TatsDragon7]

Love your clips.....

Please get a compressor or limiter to keep the audio from distorting. FMR Audio's RNC is a great comp.

[AbsolutionDouble0]

It would appear that for the last 8 years reality has had a liberal bias, because constantly, the reality of things has shown us that the Republicans screw things up or destroy the things we like/love.

I'd like to compare the Right to a child standing next to a broken lamp who is accusing his brother who is tied up in a corner, and crying because no one believes him.

They've had the power for eight years, they can't point fingers that things have gone wrong when they could have fixed it.

[shelle1228]

I really love how you made your point. Well put together!!

[pureballer315]

lol, i know exactely what this guy means. lol

[MLoges86]

DAMN RIGHT. I'm a republican, but OBAMA is the man. Fuck McCain.

[angelheart715]

reply to MLoges86 - So glad to hear it. McCain needs to realize that his own party doesn't even support his crap anymore. Thank you for seeing things the way they really are!

[volunteernation16]

@MLoges86 Are you sure you're a Republican? I don't think anyone believes you.

[MLoges86]

@volunteernation16

I was when this video was posted.....HAHA

Now I am a TYT member and Democrat For Life :)

[kwatson813]

Thanks man.

[eirefrance]

Cenk, you're built like a linebacker. You should have shown that douche what a real foul is (the same way we're gonna show Bush what a real president is).

[Jackthemeat]

Poetic. that was awesome. Im sitting here literally in my own juices. Im hot for Cenk.

[Jensagirl]

Cenk, I am really loving the way you put it all together at the end. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[EricMetalGuitarist]

That's one of the best analogies I've ever heard in my life. Thank you Cenk.

[geandily]

Good thing Obama plays basketball, lets hope he hits another three this October eh?

[12345678ppp]

No disrespect to all Americans but you gotta admit there are just too many hillbilly redneck "dumb" americans that could spoil this good analogy...let's keep our fingers crossed!!

[othakar]

It sounds like someone here is still mad about loosing his basketball game.

[mrchomet]

lol! probably true, it is still a good analogy though

[Williamkurk]

Great job Cenk...hope the stats are right on your hypothesis!!! lol!

[tealish]

Haha, I used to hate this guy because he looks annoying, but he's got good things to say. Brilliant analogy.

[dna1987]

third.

[ffunit]

first to say first lol lol

[TheGiantRobot]

Haha, it's so true. I've seen this happen in league games too. It's a nice thought that this could happen to the Republicans, though I'm still skeptical.
