  • You say they are crazy, because that's what socialists do. You are Obama's bitch.

    Cenk, you are a dolt. Nothing but a boor, a pseudo-intellectual. Daddy Soros is upset about your failures.You killed Air America, and now you and your merry band of faggots are slipping into irrelevance. Daddy is going to can your ass soon.

  • @krotchferter Explain Socialism Just give it a shot. Congratulations you own a thesaurus and spent a lot of time on wikipedia don't fool yourself into thinking you've impressed anybody with your garbage. You're nothing but a scared little baby bird eating the previously digested information that the Mother bird feels you strong enough to digest on your own. Start Reading, Start Thinking, Start debating with yourself. And stop listening to ANY PUNDITS Have your own opinion for one day.

  • @krotchferter I think Cenk is canned! He appearantly lost his gig at MSNBC (I think).

  • republicans are systematically dismanteling the middle class and have convinced the trailerpark teapartiers that it is in their interest to go along.

  • @noflizone Your telling me. I work with a lady and she said without government the poor could just work hard and survive. She said I worked hard to get my nice house. I saw her house I never seen a bigger white trash Disney land. They are just idiots that are taught at church to be that dumb.

  • sara palin's alaska is a campaign ad subsidized by alaska taxpayers.

  • Oh yea you JACK ASSES are part of the white house I almost forgot!

  • Lol, common man, no one wants to watch you jerk off.

  • Ron Paul 2012. Screw the left/right paradigm.

  • man i'm glad no one knows who these ppl are

  • GOOD. Maybe that tea party movement will split the right wing vote.

  • And sadly, the Independents who swung to the Tea Party are mostly older Baby Boomers who drank the Kool Aid. What were they thinking?

  • Get your robin hood on and put some pressure on the man!! Lol

  • Cant you stupid independeants see that the right is tring to make the rich richer and the poor much poor! Pat Toomey has voted for Wall Street which I hate so Vote for Sestak a 31 year military man! Corbett, attorney General Pa is a fake so vote Dan Onorato!

  • Ive yet to see a "tea party" person that isnt a republican. It's like when religious fuctards say they believe in "intelligent design" instead of some space guy waving a magic wand and creating everything for some sick and twisted experiment.

  • we need tocounter act it with our own progressive tea party movement, the labor movement.

  • Listen I do believe in less goverment but a lot of (not all) tea partiers are ignorant and in a way brain washed. Political biasts are the downfall of American politics.

  • @4cdubose - The Teabagger "less government" spiel is intended to remove power from the people and the government and give control of the country to Big Business. We're supposed to become a peasant class supporting overlords like Haliburton and BP.

    Wise up.

  • @klingoncelt conspirisy theroy much... Yea but those are some good points but I believe that corperations buy out politicans...Anyway most teabaggers are mindless brainwashed fucks controled by the media...

  • @4cdubose TEA BAGGERS BRAINWASHED. HAHA OBAMA ZOMBIES AND REP. DEM. ZOMBIES. YA KEEP VOTING FOR THE FAKE LEFT RIGHT PARADIGM. ITS SEEMS TO BE WORKING. U SOUND LIKE THE BRAINWASHED FUCK TARD. RON PAUL 2012 BITCH. IF U LIKE UR FREEDOM!

  • On behalf of myself and the Tea Party I apologise to all those who believe more government is the answer... I'm sorry that we disagree but we are not going anywhere, we will fight that concept from dusk till dawn, and we will be vindicated in our efforts. That is our cause.

  • oh my god..... i don't know much about politics, but how many fucking times does the republican party have to be hijacked i feel sorry for the normal republicans where ever the hell they are....? lol when i vote someday, at least i have enough common sense to suspend my vote on issues i'm not educated on...:/ oh and if that palin chick gets elected prez, i'm moving to fucking canada... :(

  • The democrats need to learn how to simplify thier message the same way Heritage Foundation and other right wing think tanks have. The problem is that liberals actually use think tanks to come up with new ideas that will advance our society whereas right wing think tanks are a cover and only used to come up with ideas on how to maintain power.

  • @boutchie06 The tea party has to learn that they cant just appear on Fox news and not other networks because of bigotry!

  • This guy is a just another brainwashed progressive asswipe.

  • Oh. Uh, da Young Turks,uh, has uncovered another Repub plot to, you know, uh, destroy da country.

  • this is disturbing how? thaz greatthat theyd vote in Tea party candidates, we need a change, a REAL Change!

  • I am a minority and an Independent.

    I support the Tea Party after Obamacare passed by force from Congress!

  • @Yenicerigeliyor The Obama Health care plan makes a lot more sense then the messed up current system. 50,000 US citizen don't have health insurance because they can't afford it. The HMO system is a failure that needs to be done away with before it does even more damage.

  • soooo this video doesn't exist?

  • roar

  • To hell with palin, the tea party movement has been infiltrated by government goons, but they'll never take over the freedom movement. Cause freedom is an idea that burns in the hearts of all true patriots!!!

  • @thefetalbomber idiocy also burns in some people's minds

  • I like how people talk about our founding fathers in an objectified, idealized way. When they wrote the constitution, they favored slavery and mysogeny, which is not what the document itself states, and we're to trust how people interpret the document.

  • Tea Party will rule America here shortly!

  • "In matters of Power, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

    -- Thomas Jefferson

  • Thomas Jefferson owned slaves...

  • He was also against religion in government, favored science, and held the quoran as one of his favorite books, but the fundies always conviently forget that part when they use him as a banner for thier cause.

  • "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble opinion, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."

    -- John Adams

  • @xiola6969 The Tea Party has a leader?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • a little dramatic. asking for MORE private banks will increase competition and the market will adjust accordingly. for starts, tea party members just wants to be able to create a truly "free market" without jumping through all of the government regulations that prevent Americans from doing so. Wouldn't you like to be able to expand from youtube and be broadcast on a local tv station? Think about what's preventing you from doing that!

  • You are wrong. Tea Partiers are newbies that believe what they read in email newsletters. It's all organized by public relations firms that get enormous payoffs from big business.

  • Paying big business...lol! Look up "Obama campaign contributions". Wake up! I realize that the movement is disorganized and may even fizzle out, but its still growing and will play a major role in November.

  • @grizzlyadamsII i hope they play as big a role as possible. Dems can use a party that'll steal gop votes and drive each other off the deep end.

  • What do you mean disorganized? This movement was invented by FreedomWorks. It was carefully orchestrated from its inception.

    The evidence is that their protests get heavily advertised on television. Grassroots movements don't have that kind of funding.

  • BINGO

  • @biantai888 They use church to their advantage. If you ask the average dumbass they will tell you that real americans are only christian, GOP, and liberals are of the devil because they want to save wildlife and hold companies from building their to create jobs. It is a huge majority of slaves. I hope whe they show up at church sunday they pray to Donald Trump since they only believe the rich can fix america. What a fucking joke the RICH?

  • this doesn't really matter, as long as gop-ers can pretend to rep the neo-cons and pretend the tea-partiers aren't around, conserves will continue to vote gop. it would take a major effort on the part of the tea party to take gop votes, and pretty much kill each other in the process.

  • Sorry I meant terrorist. That was not aimed at all muslims just the extremist.

  • Cenk is right on about this issue. The TeaBaggers and people who support those ideas always vote against their on interests.

  • This guy is a total liberal idiot.

  • Cenk is way over his head in political matters, this is seen in his support for the Fed banking system. He thinks he's a hero or something? He's a political zero! I like him, but he's better off keeping his politics to himself, since they could only possibly dumb down his viewers. He does a great disservice by sharing his stupidity.

  • "Cenk is way over his head in political matters, this is seen in his support for the Fed banking system."

    OMG RONPAWL JGHDKJG!!

    Lol..

  • You listen to D.I.? That's cool, you know I uploaded a video of their early songs a while back.

  • And do you think he would go across sea and go to war with a country just for oil when if he wanted to he could have drilled right here in the US. Like he would go threw all that trouble just to get oil.

    You really are brainwashed aren't you.

    And yet you still haven't told me how we as a whole of republicans are racist and how you are not. You just claim that they used to be so now you act like just because you said that it's true.

  • Amen to all that- Its funny how they try to debate facts with opinions.

  • The KKK is still all democrats. Then we are labeld racist if we don't vote for barack. How is that not racist claiming someone else is racist because he doesn't share your view so he is a racist.

    Obama goes to probably the most racist churches I have ever seen in my life. His pastor is racist. Obama claims that his grandmother isn't racist she is just a typical white woman. How is that not racist.

  • And when you make goverment health insurance free you completely kill off all other insurance companies because who will pay for something they can now get free.

    So now you have even more americans with no jobs and no money. Then Doctors aren't getting enough money to attract more people to the proffesion because of the many years of school you go to but not enough pay in the end for it to be worth it.

    Then our health instutions don't have enough money to do research for cures of diseases.

  • And to TYT have you ever heard of a poor company owner?

    No because the rich are the company owners. They are the ons that pay us. The poor can't afford to make a business let alone pay for it. So then when you take the money from the rich you tax the company owners who then cut employs or their pay check. Then you go into a downward spiral from there till you hit a ressesion (like the one we are in now) or a depression.

    I would really like to formally debate with you if you can.........

  • It's simple, The Republican Party is the racist party. The Tea Party folk are anti immigration right wing conspiracists ;)

  • @Misunderstood246, some racist, more classist. They like keeping the gap in classes.

  • Maybe you should read up on republican history then democrat history then come back and say who is racist.

    (just a hint all KKK members are democrats. And all the states that joined the confederacy were all democratic states. So were the leaders of those states.)

    And how is being anti immigration "racist". Were sick of illegal immigrates taking american jobs then making us learn their language because they won't learn ours.

  • Bro, i know all about the history of your party. The truth is, if this was 75 years ago, i would vote for the Republicans. But times have changed, the Democrats are the progressive party. The Republicans are now what they fought against. All the southern Democrats joined the Republican Party.

    They're the anti revolutionary movement which has to be smashed.

  • How have we changed then? How are we racist now and they aren't. Show me.

  • People like Rush Limbaugh run your party. Racist as it gets.

    George Bush is racist, if Katrina would have hit a white city he would have been there putting the flames out himself.

    An illegal war in Iraq? Your party is full of fundemental Christians, they hate Muslims. Any excuse to kill them.

    Your party is run by war mongers and racists.

    What else is there to say?

  • Again how is george bush a racist?

    How was Katrina racist? How is the war in Iraq illegal? Bush said "we will not make any distinction from the terrorist that did these vicious acts and those who harbor them" everyone agreed with what he said. Iraq harbored terrorist.How are we war mongering?

    ww1-democrat

    ww2-democrat

    civil war- republicans

    afgan-republicans

    Iraq-republicans

    Vietnam-democrat

    3 democrats vs 3 republicans = Republican war mongering idiot-racist?Yea that makes perfect sense.(not)

  • Are you stupid? I just told you the Democrats USED to be the racist anti progressive party. The last 20 years have meant the Democrats are the party for me.

    Iraq was illegal. There were no weapons of mass destruction. It was all for oil and a convenient excuse to kill Muslims. Yes, Guantanamo is fucking disgusting. That is a terrorist institution.

    When you learn how to spell 'tortured' then i will agree that they were.

    Over 2 million Muslims dead. No wonder they hate us.

  • I am sorry for my grammar I truly am. There is no excuse for that.

    And I just told you that the KKK that is still here is still all democrats and that obama is a racist and a lot of his supporters are to.

    Again The war in Iraq was and is not illegal. I repeat again "We will not make any distinction from the terrorists that did these vicious acts and those that harbor them." - Bush 9/11

    Every one agreed with him on this. Yet when he acts on it he some how is some evil nazi racist from hell.......

  • @1FutureMarine1 -- Very crude and simplistic reasoning for your argument. Think about it.

  • Which part is crude and simplistic?

  • @1FutureMarine1 -- Sorry, but the president at the time of any conflict isn't an accurate way to determine 'War Mongering'. You have to examine the reasons why we go to war. Most of those reasons aren't revealed to the people because if known, the people wouldn't support most wars. In your case, Geo. Bush chose to abandon the war in Afghanistan and chose to start a needless war in Iraq. This is because Dick Cheney and Haliburton/KBR knew they could profit big off the war, and they did.

  • Christians murdering??? wow I'm a christian and I don't find ways to murder muslims but they should pay for 9/11. But I guess the liberals forgot all about that.

    Next thing you know yure going to say in guantanamo prisoners were tourcherd

  • This report from FOX News and the WSJ complete ignored the neutral data in the poll. Adding this data would not have made much of a difference in the percentages but it reinforces my opinion that the polls numbers are being inappropriately represented by the so-called fair and balanced conservative media. DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. From what I have seen today, it seems like the neo-cons are grasping for any data they can get their hands on to create an illusion of popularity. The jig is up

  • I am no genius but I can define the gaping holes in this survey. It does not consider that fact that the poll takers are not well informed about TP politics. Only 29% know anything (a great deal or fair amount) about the Tea Party. Therefore, 71% need to learn about them. The explanation in 14b is the only information that these poll takers will see when they take this survey and there is NO opposing view represented here. I bet this skewed the results a bit. More to come.

  • If you want to see the raw unfiltered data from the WSJ/NBC poll then Google WSJ/NBC Poll and click on the link from newshounds. Click on the RESULTS hypertext in the article to get the PDF report.

    Here is the rub. Look at 14a and 14b.

    The poll shows that 23% know nothing at all about the Tea Party yet only 15% stated that they have no opinion about them. This means that 8% of the people who took this survey have an opinion on a subject that they know nothing about. More to come.

  • On December 16 WSj & NBC released another poll. Google TEA PARTY POLLS and click on links to WSJ or LA times. The article puts the Tea Party ahead of Dems and Reps in public opinion. 41% TP, 35% DEM, 28% GOP. The funny thing about polls is that, if calculated properly, their numbers are supposed to add up to 100. More to come.

  • Independents are picking the tea party, because they're fed up with both parties. As well they should be.

  • @Trollmaster21 sure but when the tea party then gets to become a mainstream party, the party leaders (all most likely on the payroll of various corporations) will eventually just make America a legitimately voted in plutocracy.

  • @PontFX I could see any small political party become corrupted if they increase in size.

    But as it stands now, the tea party types should be very vigilant about any insurgent big government Republican Neocon types that only wish to use them to advance their own agenda.

  • government is bad !!! wtf are you talking about ! damn man ! EVEN THE CONSTITUTION DOESNT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AND YOU DO MR TURK ?? JESUS ! the constitution was put in place because the people that wrote it knew that politicians went corrupt because of power and have become disconnected from the average americans.

  • The constitution was put in place with corruption in mind, it does happen .. but not everyone is corrupt, and checks in balances are supposed to keep the bad people in line .... that is when they don't mess with the laws like the patriot act!

  • TYT is a political spin machine.

  • Oh, and dont ask me to defend Corpratism either...Im not for that either. Corporatism plus socialism is a deadly combination.

  • Social corporatism worked better for this country than capitalism ever has. However, when we forgot to incorporate "national interest" into economic policy.. well...

  • We are not fringe. We are right. We have a 12 trillion debt. We are losing jobs to China, and will keep losing them to China since Dems will not abolish income tax and payroll tax. Dems spending programs only add to this horrible debt. And ems have no plans to get rid of income tax or at least lower it...but raise it! And more spending!

    And you wonder why there is a tea party? Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me?

  • I don't care how low you drop taxes, you can't compete with China. The only possible hope we have of ceasing the hemoraging of jobs overseas is to basically destroy capitalism as we know it. Which personally, I'm all for, having been lied to about the benefits of the "global economy" and the "free market" for my entire life, and having realized that both were nothing but propaganda by age 14, a fact which most adults can't seem to handle even today..

  • Stop pretending like the Dems started the national debt I will admit Obama has added to it but he was only trying to repair the damage of the last administration. Bush spent like crazy and increased the size of government more than ever and your side didn't say shit. And the Democrats and the republicans has sold out to corporations years ago that's who is sending the jobs overseas. And the only reason the Tea party exist because the nut job Glenn Beck.

  • Yes Bush did spend like a monster and took us to Iraq. But, the housing crisis is mainly the child of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, and I have not yet heard one god damn democrat admit it. What a bunch of lieing cowards...just blame it on Bush and dont tell the American people what sparked the housing crisis. Just blame it on Bush.

    Well, your chickens may be coming home to roost dis-honest democrats. Looks like Joe L will NOT be the 60th vote! Your health bill is DOA!

    Fitting

  • I admit that the democrats fucked up with the housing. And yet that isn't the major reason the American Economy Collapsed. This collapse was years in the making and the left and the right took part in it Bush was the trigger. And yes I will blame Bush for being one of the biggest screw ups since the Carter administration.

  • Agreed. As a conservative...a real one, I have no love for Bush.

  • You think the Republicans want to vote to abolish income tax and payroll tax??? Are you fucking kidding me?

    Republcans (the Do-Nothing Party) won't spend any political capital on anything for the average guy. They did nothing on real health insurance reform, abortion, Social Security, lowering taxes or raising the wages for the average guy. How did the Bush administration help anybody making between $10k and 75K?

    He did a lot for those making over $250K and especially for the very wealthy.

  • Err...will it look like germany (circa 1933) where we have the Social Democratic Party on the Center-Left, and an insane, Ultra-Conservative NAZI Party on the right? :-o

  • Chhhhh !!! [ tugz on leash ] ...sit unsocial bigot

    if you know pinks in the pink zone, do not nurture their fear and hate.... just remove your unsocial bigot from FOX news, and walk your fear mongering bigot...

    i am the pink whisperer, and i approved this message..

  • the "tea party" crowd are basically the latest incarnation of the Klan. the republican party hid what they were really about for decades, and now the cat's completely out of the bag, the American fascist right is out in the open once more.

  • Really? You know what the new slavery is? Working 1/3 of your life to pay the federal goverment. Thats right, about 1/3 of the time your working for the goverment.

    So, if you start work in Janurary and give all money to the goverment that youll owe for the year, by May youll begin making money for yourself.

    Thats terrible

  • Oh ya, taxes are the new slavery. I love this argument. Never mind that we use welfare money to subsidize labor for companies like Wal Mart, never mind that our society is more economically stratified now then ever before in all of human history, never mind that Capitalism is actually reducing my entire generation to 2nd world status, I'm worried about taxes. I'm going to go wave my tea bag with the neckbeards and mouth breathers over fucking taxes. Fuck you.

  • Ok, then raise taxes. Good luck.

    Forget that it is immoral to tax people a third of their income (and thats just federal tax!). Let's look at the financial implications...

    Taxes are raised...More jobs go to China. More jobs go to Mexico. Our debt rises, and the goverment collects less taxes since the buisness' are leaving. Jobless rates increase too, because jobs are leaving. Good Luck. Yeah, wondeful system your liberal tax system is.

    Want to own your own business? Good luck.

  • Your jobs were legislated away a long time ago. Ironically enough, the global "free market" could never have happened without Uncle Sam. So long as they have the option of off-shoring production, they will do it, and they will terrorize city and state Governments with destitution to extort favoritism. In order to correct the balance of power, you have to go back through the laws and regs which created "free trade" and unmake them one by one.

  • The "global market" was sold to the American people by pretending that it was like the weather and there was nothing that any human actor could do about it, but the truth is that like most other economic phenomenon, it's rooted in public policy. It didn't just happen. Thus, it can be undone, and we can again reign in the beast without having to cater to the every whim of the new capitalist aristocracy as you propose.

  • I'm also unsympathetic to business people and capitalists in general because well..it's nothing but legitimized theft in the first place. No participant in a system which is almost perfectly immoral and certainly nothing but destructive has the right to lecture me about the ethics of raising his fucking taxes. It's not about morality, it's about greed.

  • so to answer your question, no, I do not participate in the cult of the free market and I do not venerate the great white devil "business man".

  • What are you, a spic or a negro?

  • W.A.S.P, actually

  • If you're paying a third of your income to the federal gov't, you need to find a new accountant.

  • First of all, you are very much the fringe right. I've looked around at those events before and noticed a number of suspicious tats which I recognize quite well on a great many attendees. I guess the white sheets draw too much attention. Second of all, when one's life is spent generating astronomical wealth for a business owner, of which he recieves only a small pittance, smaller than what his father and grandfather earned performing the same task,

  • while the profit margins of said business man only increase, and increase, and increase for about 35 years until eventually the worker witnesses his standard of living significantly fall or is removed from employment in favor of 3rd world labor, THIS is clearly the "new slavery" as you put it, and it is wage slavery. The right has an amazing capacity for uncle Toming wealthy business people even as they're being evicted from their home and fired from the factory.

  • Taxes are payment for services rendered. Having roads free of potholes and a criminal justice system, and protection from terrorists, and an army and navy and airforce and yes, even a healthcare system and welfare which keeps the poorest from resorting to crime, and fire fighters and those who keep your food free from contaminants, all these things cost money.

  • Local taxes pay for cops and roads. The other stuff, yeah, federal money. But so much is WASTED in Washington every day on ACORN and other worthless special interest groups, on wars we need not be in, on 700 bases around the world, on giving away billions a year to other countries - that the tax rates are forced up much higher than they need to be.

    15% flat tax with all that fat I talked about cut out - that is the way it needs to be.

  • Hey dangerouslytalented we dont owe anybody healthcare. We owe them the right to have it. That doesn't mean we have to pay for it. Welfare is a system started to give folks a hand up not a hand out. As our Hispanic neighbors would say we are doing the jobs Americans wont do. The fraudulent recipients of a welfare check can do those jobs,and pay their fare share. Abolish the worthless corrupt IRS and establish a flat tax. EVERYONE pays the same. Paying for these types of fed programs is a waste.

  • This is not about oweing people anything. THIS is about having a better deal for EVERYBODY. Proper healthcare for everybody drops the costs for everybody, it means that those who would otherwise be too sick to make a positive contribution to society will be healthy enough to pull their weight.

    Oh, and blaming it on American recipients of welfare checks overlooks the fact that American minimum wage workers are so underpaid that welfare is an attractive option.

  • taxed enough already

    too much tax revenue 'misappropriated'

  • wanna find a fellow who can satisfy my needs... Lol.

  • yea ,tea party people stand for bitterness ,because .palin didn't win.they can accept ,oboma won.....right birthers? or , arrrre youuuuu different ...? I do not ttt... tttthink sooooooooo.

  • Independents=KKK and No Tax Militants

  • Screw you communist. Fucking anti-patriot.

  • the willingness to give up your property, your freedom both physical and mental freedom, to work yourself and children under harsh conditions all for the love of your country. Takes a lot of patriotism to be a communist

  • I must admit I am a little disapointed in this video.

    It shows a complete lack of understanding in what the tea party people stand for.

  • racism? willful ignorance? fascism? lynching minorities? sabotage of the democratic process?

  • gee idk maybe this shows that idk the tea party is more main stream than what the liberal media gives it??

  • 3:35 but glenn beck is leading this mass

  • the majority of tea partiers that are true conservatives. I support it too, economically only ofcource. Someone explain why economic conservatism is not the smartest choice, as in anti-Obama's actions so far. I'll happily counter any arguments.

  • @willsbanana ...Are you referring to the economic conservatism we had over the last presidency?

  • ofcource not moron.

  • @willsbanana ...You are 18 and live in Australia...what do you know about being a true conservative and economic conservatism? You can't counter shit!

  • Oh yeah if you are young and do not live in America you can't be a fiscal conservative. Hey why don't you counter this, what degree do you have..?

    Ever been to college?

    Morons should know their place

  • @willsbanana...You don't don't pay American taxes. You don't own a home. You don't have a job that pays more than minimum wage. You are correct...Morons should know their place, fucking kid.

  • Actually a kid who has a scholarship to law more prestigious than the state school you never got accepted into..

    You are 39 years old, what have you accomplished..?

  • @willsbanana ...A scholarship to a law more prestigious...lol. The fact that I am a home owner and the father of 3 kids, 2 of which are in college is more than you.

  • Woah you are petty. But sorry at your age, i will have accomplished much more than having a shitty job and a family. What is your IQ? (if you want to get real petty)

  • @willsbanana ..do you actually listen to yourself? You sound like a total idiot, you accuse me of being petty(when I answer you're dumb ass questions)then you want to spit venom. The only person who is petty is you. A fucking 18 year old kid who has not done anything with his, but somehow feels like he is better than someone who has...you are so funny.

  • @willsbanana:

    You had me fooled. You said, "I'll be happily counter any arguments". What you really meant to say was "I'll happily attempt to bolster my weak argument by insulting you personally".

  • @willsbanana...getting back to you're original post, why do you think economic conservatism is a good idea right now for the U.S. economy?

  • You are 39...

    Go out and get a better job..

  • @willsbanana ....What you fail to realize is, I have teenagers and I know how you think. You can't get under my skin, but I can get under yours. Are you going to answer the economic conservatism question or what?

  • just fuck off, you are not worth the air you breath.

    i bet you get under your kids skin you peophile

  • @willsbanana ...Thanks, you made my day. What the hell is a peophile, mr. scholarship man....hahahaha?

  • Willsbanana went to the Rush Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies. Now he thinks he is armed with the knowledge to go out debate intelligent human beings. Hahahahaha.

  • In truth, there's a much larger gap in liberalism vs. conservatism abroad than there is here. The US is much more conservative than most of the industrialized world. Moreover, you can't really remark about that person's level of education or depth of knowledge. Sure, an 18yo probably doesn't know shit. But unless you've actually walked & talked w/him, you can't say anything conclusively.

  • @upabittoolate This kid never answered the question about economic conservatism in the present U.S. economy.This kid doesn't have a stake in the U.S. economy like I do. This kid questioned my education and my accomplishments. This kid called me loser and a pedophile. This kid may be smart on the theory of economic conservatism and wants to argue it, but I have no interest in theory when I live in reality.

  • In fairness, everyone (EVERYONE) on the planet has a stake in the US economy. BUT, if he didn't answer your question, that's evidence enough for me. I won't question your accomplishment. Raising a family with any degree humanity & virtue is a noble thing to do no matter what your politics are.

    BUT, be intellectually curious enough to engage in theoretical discourse. Like it or not, Danish theory & Friedman theory economics inform US economic theory. With that, I think you may agree.

  • @upabittoolate I will agree with you a 110% everyone has some stake in the U.S. economy to certain extent. I will argue that a 18 year old kid in Australia does not have as much as a U.S. citizen does. In all honesty it was how he framed the question that pissed me off(basically ignoring the fact that our last president was not a economic conservative)which partly led us to the situation were in right...IMO. The kid just seem like he was daring someone to prove him wrong.

  • I can't disagree with any of that. You obviously think like an adult. There's no arguing that Bush was less than conservative. In fact, he bragged about spending his capital. The new guy is spending quite a bit too. But I'd like to think he's tryna build some infrastructure... I'd LIKE to think that.

  • @willsbanana...I sincerely and respectfully apologize for saying you don't know shit because you are only 18 years old. I was wrong, I should of let you argue your case before I made that statement.

  • This guy is an asswipe...LOL.

  • Tea-partiers are fucktards and ass-clowns.

  • Tea Baggers are disgruntled dingbats (and Republican sore losers). They're the folk that ignorantly vote against their own economic interests in the name of "God, gays & guns" ... as Thomas Frank explained in "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

  • I love how worried Cenk is! HAHAHAHA Sarah Palin Tea Party candidate '12!!!

  • The Tea Parties are a joke.

  • You mean Tea Baggers

  • It's called a mass awakening.

    And you go after corporate democrats??

    You liar, the most powerful corporate democrat is obama.

  • lmao way to go attacking republicans and independants. Do u realize the only reason why the dems won in 08 was b/c of the independants. But more and more keep switching back to the republican side. Idk if i was a dem i would try to be more moderate and keep them on my side, not attack them youtube vids lol. This guy Chenk or wateva his name is just annoys me. He seems way to biased (like a viral version of NBC lol). Just report the stories dont add biases like FOX and NBC do

  • TYT don't claim to be unbiased.

  • LOL.

    They don't.

  • Read Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

  • I like Cenk, but his failure to appreciate libertarian principles is pretty sad.

    I understand that these teaparty people would all be at home if a republican was president, but do you honestly think that the national debt is not a problem?

    Cenks ignorance of economics is really making it hard for me to keep watching him.

  • I understand what you're saying chaseef, but even if a republican had won, the tea parties would still be going on--they just wouldn't be getting press.

    They started in December, 2007 and were arranged and attended by Ron Paul's grassroots. Most of us stopped going when the neocons hijacked it after Obama won the presidency. There's still a few of us out there, pathetically handing out Constitutions to neocons, hopefully a few of them will leave the dark side. :(

  • You do know that the only time our country had a surplus was under a Dem right? Our 12.8 trillion debt is because of Reagan, Bush1 and Bush 2 they added 9.7 trill to it. Clinton gave Bush a estimated 500 billion surplus in 6 years if he would have kept everything as it was but instead he made his Millionaire friends Billionaires, gave the Saudis trillions and then before he left he took another 5 trillion from the middle class for ol time sake. I think your the one ignorant of economics not Cenk

  • 9,111 views. thats ominous

  • When the bags started out, it appeared appealing, perhaps something I could get involved with, but then government media stepped in on the rallies for ratings and spin, all the while protecting their interests. That is they shaped the message from "we are pissed at the republican party for the middle class sell out", to, " we are just pissed off at the government in general." Sad really, I thought a grass roots movement was going to develop. Instead we ended up with GOP useful idiots.

  • Precisely right imataxslave. I was a part of the movement early on and jumped ship when all the status quo republicans hijacked it.

    We are still around, and we will organize again.

  • tea partiers are just racist white supremacists, they destroyed america and now they want to blame anyone but themselves

  • yes sir that would explain the few black people who show up cuz everyone knows black republicans hate their race and themselves. Please stop stereotyping people, its just a notch down from racism. People have different opinions, so leave them alone instead of attacking them behind a screen. there's a reason this video doesnt even have 10,000 views

  • Ive been a Marine for four years and am very convinced that black republicans are either confused and uncle tom or trying to fit in... there is not such thing as a black guy who is NOT a token or somthin or other who is a republican.... Republicans are notoriously seen as "country" "redneck" "southern-type" "ignorant" "racist" "bias" and as a person of almost any minority things like Foxnews, Drudgereport, rush limbagh, and so on are at least one if not all of those

  • I can't take anybody seriously with a username called "ipooponcrackers". I'm sorry, but I can't.

  • Here's my new slogan for the Tea Party folks, "Taxation without representation is evil! Be sure to tell your representative!"
