  • Why can't we see the entire video?

  • So did that meeting with the troops ever take place? Not if Kingston has anything to do with it. I hate the tone he takes in this video and the way he dismisses the seriousness of the issue.

  • Republicans and supporters can't seem to discredit any film by Mr. Greenwald and Brave New Films, so they resort to misinformation and other odious strategies. Sam's Club 6625 management in San Fernando California, lied and kept the bonuses in 2005/2006. Americans who firmly support outsourcing of everything, please give them a first class ticket to the People's Republic of China and declare them Persona Non Grata when they try to visit the US.

  • Thank you Mr. Robert Greenwald for exposing the true face of evil especially Americans who worship money and power.

  • from 4:40 he goes full retard

  • Sure do hope this Kingston fellow is not indicative of all US politicians, if so then this planet is screwed...

  • @TheHoukamau This planet is screwed.

  • Hey, how's that job hunting going? Or, how's that McJob paying? Dumb southerners have always had a propensity for poverty. They are so ignorant, they don't realize that they are slaves, and they vote themselves into it religiously. I've lived in the South for most of my life and I can tell you that you can't educate out of them their long standing ignorant southern traditions. Willful ignorance like that encouraged them to fight an army with a superior numbers and manufacturing abilities.

  • whadda goober

  • Kingston is not a fool, he's an asshole. This attitude is intentional.

  • there is no bigger idiot than jack kingston. he is an arrogant piece of shit, not to mention dumb as a bag of hammers.

  • It's people like Kingston that are the problem, He wants stupid people to think, making a film about the corruption in the Iraq war is worse than the corruption itself. I am amazed people like him can get even one person to vote for them. Am I to assume that 51% of the American population is retarded, if not, how does this pitiful excuse of an American get into office, Am I to assume by way of a corrupt voting system, well it work for Bush I guess, not that I was too keen on Gore.

  • @daveusaz1218 No 95% of the American population is retarded, that is why all these A-holes keep getting re-elected. Who the hell is dumb enough to vote Republican or Democrat, they are exactly the same.....huge deficits, endless war, bailing out the big banks and wall street. Bush was horrible but Obama is not far behind. The only reason Bush is worse is lying us into war with Iraq for no reason, but Obama promised to end it and bring ALL the troops home. He will never do it mark my words

  • @broncobilly25 Well if 95% of the population is retarted, Then at least 46% needs to be smarted up, so we can get some people elected that won't sell America out. :=)

  • Try Asian women **busizz4me.info**

  • omfg, whered they pick up kingston, he's lyk...retarded...

  • @ArchStar9 I am ashamed to admit he's my Congressman.

  • @Awakin2liberty i understand u man...

  • WTF? Kingston is a complete idiot, he keeps going off topic.

  • i felt like kingston was ignoring the debate numberous amount of times, not to mention he tried brown nosing greenwald a bit. it seemed like kingston knew he was in the wrong and wanted to agree, but was selected to argue as the opposition. Because there HAS to be an opposition

  • @dukeljk Hey, just fyi, what you want to be saying is "You're a moron" not "Your a moron." You see, you want the contraction of "you" and "are" - which would be "you're." "Your" is an entirely different word with and entirely different meaning. So the real irony here is that by saying to people, "Your a moron" and "Your an idiot" well you just in fact expose yourself to be a moron.

  • I was a fan of Jack Kingston......no more...

  • "Ball players make more than the president." No they don't, actually. Yes, they make more than the salary he collects as the president, but that does not include his business interests. Bush made a killing. That is a fact.

  • "Are you saying that profit is evil?" No, jackass, profit that is earned honestly and ethically is not evil. Lying to the entire nation about cause for war, which results in the death of thousands of our young people and countless more CIVILIAN Iraqis in order to make a profit is EVIL.

  • @xothegirlz Your an idiot.

  • There must be a conservative that can run against Jack Kingston. I refuse to beleve that Georgia is this moronic to elect such an idiot. did you notice he said that he would meet with Greenwald, a lie, and they would 'have a good time": He truly doesn't understand what this is about. It is not a beerfest Jack. People are dying because of Jack Kingston.

  • Wow! This guy is so despicable!

  • Have you EVER seen a more transparent, despicable kingpin of sleaze than Kingston?

    He did not address the issue even once! He talked about how much Greenwald made, talked about the soldiers being patriotic, but never directly answered him.

    HOW do these people do it? Is money really THAT important? Is it worth your soul, for fuck's sake?

    You are getting your countrymen killed for PROFIT. Goddamn you.

  • Anytime someone questions it, they always say that they're not being patriotic. Sadly some of the troops still have this mindset, which has been indoctrinated in them. They don't realize that people oppose the war, not to insult them, or question their patriotism. We oppose the war because we are outraged that their lives are being put in danger just so the very people who lied to get the war started could make an easy profit. Those people who actively oppose the war care a lot about the troops.

  • LOLOLOL!!!!!!

  • How have we come to a place in America where people stand up for the right of corporations to steal from the American taxpayer? Halliburton alone "lost" 1.8 billion in Iraq. Is it Democracy that their CEO made $46 million in 2003, when his company provided 63 out of their contracted 68 water treatment plants that were contaminated and constantly put soldiers in harms way to make more profit? How can you defend PC behavior out loud? Neocon thinking is profoundly dangerous to the US & World! SAD!

  • Kingston is moronic, simplistic, uninformed, and corrupt - in short, a typical white southern male republican.

  • @BrerRabbitBDA What do yo know? YOur a moron.

  • @BrerRabbitBDA

    And you are a loony moonbat.

  • @BrerRabbitBDA this is a little unfair

  • @BrerRabbitBDA AMEN!

  • half-way through the video, Kingston had lost the conversation, so he did what all men like him do: bullshit.

  • Could Jack Kingston miss the point any more?

  • Robert Greenwald couldn't be more impressive here ... Intelligent, reasoned perspective and measured, en-pointe argument.

    His opponent = outmatched at every turn.

    Kudos, Robert Greenwald. Keep it up!

  • and what is that documentary Emily? you made this comment 5 months ago. why don't you live up to your threat or take this post down. Jack Kingston would be proud that there is at least one person out there as ignorant of the facts as he is.

  • How exactly are we measuring his success? Any lack of success in this fight can be attributed to the ignorance of so many Americans, and the level of power of the people driving the war machine.

  • jack the idiot

  • great stuff from mr greenwald.. i saw this movie of his 'Uncovered:The whole truth about the war in Iraq'

    it shows how we have been tricked and how we owe it to ourselves to get it right . how can Bush and co. go free?

  • In addition to global warming, we have politicians like Kingston adding to the problem with nothing but hot air. Not even slick.

  • what's the date on this?

  • I think it's May 2007, when this was posted. It's definitely some time in 2007.

  • Jack Kingston is a fucking idiot.

  • who else wants to shoot up some republicans (not that we would just want to have a poll on who thinks republicans should die for being dipshits)

  • Kingston is so dense he makes lead look like helium. And this is one of the geniuses running the country? Hardly surprising our banking system has imploded is it? Someone needs to send a link to this video to every one of his constituents.

  • Q: "Are you making a profit?"

    A: "No."

    Q: "Oh so you think profit is evil?"

    Comedy.

  • lol that was great

  • That Kingston guy is such a douchebag. Who would vote for such a person? I hope he was just having problems with his allergies that inhibited his rational ability. What the fuck does Babe Ruth have to do with anything motherfucker?

  • Greenwald stayed on point throughout while kingston desperately tried to gain some antagonist foothold...the motherfucker didn't even do enough research to know that Greenwald doesn't profit from the docu's and that they were funded by doners. How hard is it to address a topic like war profiteering and not recognize the benefits of a movie producer who does pro-bono work to inform the people of global corruption? Kingston is a lame duck who sold out long ago. Greenwald waltzed over kingston.

  • Jack Kingston is such a stereotype. In any other country this guy would have been eaten as a child, but we reward him with elected office?

  • Jack Kingston is a dick. His lot should all be charged with treason.

  • Is Kingston work for Blackwater?

  • Probably owns stock.

  • Jack Kingston, where is your friggin patriotic lapel pin!

  • Jack Kingston you cocksucker. Fuck you motherfucker. We all see you skirting around the real issue trying to turn it around on true patriots like Robert Greenwald. FUCK YOU.

  • Which corporation does Kingston works for?

    Blackwater,KBR,Halliburton or CACI?

  • Actually, I think he works for a subsidiary of those corporations. Ah, I think its Antichrist.Inc.

  • Can someone transalate what Kingston is saying? 'imporvished mansion?" What the hell is he talking about?

  • Jack Kingston is an idiot!

  • OMG, Kinsgton sounds so retarded. Does he even know what a war profiteer is?

  • What a moronic red herring Kingston is making. It is so incredibly sad watching someone give up their dignity for Big Business and the almighty dollar, which they then use to pay for gay sex meanwhile making law against gay rights. Hypocrites, frauds and in my opinion, unpatriotic and unAmerican. I am an atheist but if there were a hell, I would venture to guess that it designed specifically for people like Kingston and the vast majority of the right wing.

  • i would love to slap that cynical smirk off jacks face. what a piece of shit.

  • jack is the core reason for ignorance and cynicism in our country today. Thats whats wrong with todays republicans, they have the inability to think morally when it comes to capitalistic issues.

  • Is Kingston really this dumb or is it just an act? I can't tell.

  • Next time Kingston really has to do his homework before grilling his intellectual superiors. The disbelief on his face when he learned that nobody is getting rich off Greenwald's films was priceless.

  • kingston is as dumb as anyone who has ever voted for him. unbelievable.

  • Hey! He's not wearing a flag lapel pin!

    Traitor! Terrorist-enabler! GRRRRR!!!!

  • Iraq For Sale, The War Profiteers part 1 of 10 parts

    They say that this guy is making a lot of money, yet he puts out his movie for free

    look it up

  • Kingston's showing too much condescension in this segment, and also - I suppose this becomes a habit when one is a career politican - I[m really hearing nothing but pointless "gotcha" style questions that really don't get anyone anywhere. But that's something you hear way too often from both parties, so we'll just have to live with that, I guess.

  • He just said he doesn't make anything?

  • He makes nothing. It is a non-profit organization with the funds raised with ten and fifteen dollars per donation. Much like the soldiers that he mentions who do it for patriotism, he does the same. Open your mind up and do some research.

  • smearing technics work good on TV, on the net they are not only enefective but also a promess of something interesting, frequently I find it the case that this kind of ad-hominen atack to lead you directly to the best sources

    ...make sure to wash your hands before you scratch DHART1949

  • Jack Kingston isn't profiteering from the war. I'm friends with his son and Jack was an insurance salesman or something before getting into Congress. Don't assume something just because he's Republican. He's not a bad guy, but I do disagree with his political views.

  • Jack Kingston, you Fucking BASTARD !! How god-damned DARE you!! It seems to me that YOU are also benefiting from this scandalous "war" with your underhanded remarks!! Sounds like YOU are AFRAID that someone is getting TOO close to YOUR PILE OF CASH..yeah, jack ass, "follow the money"...so you've "heard"?? The only people who defend this autrosity that you call WAR, are the VERY people BENEFITING from it in terms of MONEY!!! YOU go fight it, or send YOUR kids over there, ass hole!!

  • psh the main issue is being deflected by political rhetoric from Kingston's part..sad

  • kingston is a patronizing creep.. tries to change the subject from war profiteering into a strawman about greenwald personally being against capatilism, profit and basebball salaries! fkd up-manipulative corporate shill scum.

  • I am ashamed to be from Ga.

    This guy IS a real manipulative creep during this session he uses just about every trick in the book to villainize the other guy

  • Whenever someone becomes a Republican they throw away their humanity and replace their conscience with an insatiable lust for wealth and become perfect citizens for hell.

  • Well said, Obobbakonda, very well said! Let me buy you a drink sometime.

  • Wasn't Kingston the cowardly bitch who whined about having to work longer hours cause that would take time away from his family? Yeah right. Time away from his prostitute or gay meth pusher.

    I hate Republicans.

  • Jack.... What a f--king idiot!

  • The point about the difference in payscape is that while the government pays enlisted troops in the rhetoric of honor and duty, they pay corporations millions of dollars. And who do you want gaurding your convoy in Iraq? A force of patriots living and fighting for honor, or a man there to make a buck? This contracting situation in Iraq is criminal and revolting.

  • grrrr

  • Arrogant redneck politician.I wonder if he accepted a political donation from Haliburton.

  • This stupid Georgia Congressman, Kingston, is using an AD HOMINEM attack called the "tu quoqu" (you too). He is trying to say Greenwald is a filthy unpatriotic capitalist just like Halliburton, so shut the----up!

  • Here is the solution to the problem. Liberals have to come together and instead of making one-sided documentaries, start a company to compete with Halliburton. For elected government officials to be critical of waste in hypocritical at best. I have worked for government on occasion. Government wastes more money than anyone else.

  • war profits should be outlawed retroactive for the past 50 yrs, and all those who profited should go to jail and be forced to repay all who suffered...

  • i don't understand, halliburton should have the right to make money, and screw fiscal responsibility? kingston should be outrage about the lack of fiscal responsibilty among the spending in iraq.

  • its not about republicans and democrats...its about politicians in the pocket of corporation and worrying about money more than they care about helping iraqis or americans.

  • why would you listen to the soldiers, they are being told what to do?

  • Wow Jack is way off point he just loves to hear his own voice.

  • this jack kingston comes off very poorly. As a conservative,,he should be outraged at the fiscal irresoponsibility of what is going on. Why do Americans only think in terms of left v right ideology?? When do the best interests of the nation ever enter the picture? its mind boggling.

  • actually, this editing makes kingston look like much less of a dick than he was behaving like in the hearing. i was there...he was a bigger asshole than this shows, believe it or not!

  • And we have 28% of the people still supporting this government and the war!!!

    Shame....Shame..Shame!!!

  • that asshole republican had nothing relevant to say.

    He started talking about babe ruth at one point

    Republicans=redneck inbred morons

  • As an X-Republican that will not help you win the argument. Republicans don't want money stolen from the government When you make it a Democrat vs Republican issue you lose your credibility.

    PS; I now hate Tom Delay. Check out Capital Crimes by bill moyers on PBS. The truth will set you free.

  • Kingston sounds like he is the product of good old redneck incest.

  • seems like the legislature are full of creeps

  • Robert Greenwald! You are hero in USA!

  • Why? So that taxpayers can spend more money supporting them? No. When they risk the lives of our soldiers with their wantonness and put undue strain on public resources they deserve no compassion.

    Public,

    gory,

    execution.

  • Kingston: What a Lying, Evasive PUNK. Laughable. Not even just war profits. War PROFITEERING. It's different. Samuel Bush sold overpriced crap to the Kaiser and USA. Prescott funded Hitler. Bush Sr. helped fund Iraq, Iran, Al-Qaeda, even breaking laws to push thru funding. Now?? Look up Ptech. Look up SAIC in Vanity Fair -- Friggin Amazing -- $9bn now, $13bn in pipeline and they don't even PERFORM contracts. Total (bipartisan) looting.

  • Apparently movie producers are the same as private contractors in this idiot's mind.

  • No wonder Georgia burnt up! What a servant of Satan!

  • Properly named (Bravenew). And the V is symbolic.. I like that

  • If you want World PEACE, then Read and Recommend "THE ART OF PEACE" by Morehei Ueshiba, (founder of Aikido), to Everyone you Know and Love. (So Be It.)

  • Now go watch Beyond Treason, NOW!

  • Jack your such a puppet, wow you show your true colors on this one. Pushing to find out where the buck goes on a independent film. The companies that your represent are making trainloads of cash and you sir have the nerve.

  • Greenwald handled Kingston's attacks with aplomb and dignity. So, who is the statesman here? It ain't the guys we elected, that is for sure.

  • Once again Jack Kingston looks like the little special

    intrest puppet that he is. He must be taking a break

    from crying about having to work a whole five days a

    week now! Horrible! LOL LOL LOL

  • Nice work Jack. It's good to add a conservative perspective to the discussion.

  • Your comment looks pretty lonely in this thread, are you from Georgia?

  • Jack Kingston is a POS.

  • Kingston has "the honor of" representing 4 military installations. Oh yeah, and the defense industry.

  • Re: ZanofTexas (1 hour ago) WooHoo! It's not only somewhat an insult, it is an insult to JACK around a speaker of truth. I was hoping that KINGpinSTON would get told to go FOX himself.

  • The job of this stuffed suit (Kingston) is obviously to babble on and on as long as possible about ANYTHING but what Greenwald and Scahill were there to talk about, which was war profiteering. Kingston is probably making a bundle off of this so-called war and doesn't want anything to threaten the joy he feels when he arrives home each evening to his children's delighted shrieks. "Hi there Daddy Warbucks! What did you buy for us with your blood money today?"

  • I saw Robert Greenwald's movie and like Kingston I didn't really get it either.

  • Oh my GOD that is SO frustrating! He's not just a simpleton but he's condescending!

  • "you are obviously a bright guy." What a condescending piece of shit. He intentionally did not get it. He could care less. Kingston is an empty suit like most republicans, making money off of war and death.

  • Kingston is a disgrace to humanity!!

  • Remove the profits and you end the war. Republicans have no ideology except what puts the buck in their pocket. Kingston's attempt to blur the distinction between profit and war profiteering is case in point. Fk'n parasites.

  • Kingston is a douche. Sad that I live in Georgia and guys like him get elected. For many on the GOP, profit matters most. The GOP whored for Halliburton and the company moved to friggin Dubai. Nobody is up in arms about that. When will they learn?

  • Great video! Show it to your friends!

  • What was the congressperson's point? I mean... it seems like the guy had never been to college - he had no idea how to address the subject. What is he talking about speilberg and stristand making money... how is that relevant? sigh, annoying.

  • Kingston proves just want a totally ignorant corrupt fool most of these rethuglicans in congress are. This dope needs to get his head from out of his corporate lobbyists sponsors butts and realize that the war in Iraq is a filthy war making filthy profiteers filthy rich on the split blood of our countrymen and of the Iraqis.

  • Yes, Kingston, I'm sure that if you went to soldiers in your district and told them that they were underpaid they would be insulted. Your whole counterattack is insulting and demeaning to them. You pompous moron. That goes for you too, tubby, whoever that was that piped in.

  • What an embarrassment for the people who live in Georgia's first Congressional district!

  • Does Kingston ever listen?!?!

  • I just wish there was no double talk (the repeating of everything twice or three times) in the video....I am trying to figure out why this was done in making the video....Does it serve some purpose? Maybe it is like hearing something over and over and over again....Hummm. I'm not really sure. What do you think?

  • Kingston is a fuckin' idiot.

  • Wow. Dodge and deflect at it's best. Can't wait for '08.

  • Hard to believe Kingston did zero research beforehand. I assume it was not a secret that Greenwald was making the movie for free.

  • kingston...just one more example of dumb ass repug neocon mentality in this country. Is the south really that dumb ass stupid? I know it ain't so, but why would they elect such trash to represent them then?

  • indeed! it is just about time american taxpayers realize that TRILLIONS of dollars are moving through the pentagon to waiting hands. money spent on this charade (and others) is not just disappearing! folks are getting mighty rich.

  • Support the war or not, any reasonable person knows in their heart of hearts, companies like Halliburton, ABA, KBR, Renco, L3 and others are not just profiting from providing services in this war they are PROFITEERING. They are wasting the tax dollars of every American and putting undue strain on the resources available to the honorable men and women fighting the war. The bastards, including the politicians and lobbyists, that help perpetuate this crime should be tried for treason and executed.

  • Myself, a christian, would like to say, FUCK Jack Kingston. What an asshole.

  • Hollywood (movies) and Iraq (war) are apples and oranges when it comes to profiting, Mr. Kingston.

  • jack kingston = fucking redneck hickey.. damn these redneck conservs why the fuck does the republican party still exist..? stupid fuckign christians

  • Jack Kingston needs a curb job. BADLY.

    Fucking slimy cunt.

  • Thank you Mr. Greenwald for devoting your time to exposing the profiteering that is dominating the Iraq war. It greatly saddens me that the dollar is mightier than the lives of our troops whom have so bravely fought and to have to come to the conclusion that all of this has nothing to do with the betterment of the Iraq people, or the war on terror but rather to fatten the wallet of Halliburton. I stand by my country right or wrong but this is a wrong that must end, along with the war.

  • RIGHT ON, Mr Greenwald!! Kingston is a disgusting jerk!! Unfortunately he is just one example of many Repugs who think they are above any type of rules conduct! I wish there were some way to get "Iraq for Sale" played on CNN or MSNBC, heck even Cspan!!!

  • Thanks.

  • Jack Kingston wot a clown!!

  • if you want more of these, sign up for the brave new films channel. more coming. robert greenwald

  • Republicant's are pro War Profiteering, anti-fighting wars they love so much.

  • All Kingston can do is attempt to smear Greenwald. He fails miserably. 5 Stars!

  • Seriously. Through the entire video the ONLY thing he could do was make ad hominem attacks.

  • What a tool Kingston is! He wants to act as though it's all about money because for HIM that is what the world is all about.

  • you can put a monkey in a suit but it is still a monkey.... kingston wears the crown of monkey so well... yes lets follow the dollar, who paid for that ugly ass gray suit and put his ass in that chair.

  • You sure do elect idiots into congress don't you ?

  • Great job Mr. Greenwald.

  • who elects these morons ?

  • dumb southern hicks and diebold machines

  • "Do you think profit is bad?"

    Kingston thinks we're idiots.  The 4-minute film clip that he & his BushCo rubberstampers/defenders wouldn't allow Greenwald to show is available on YouTube. It will show Halliburton's blatant waste of taxpayers' money that Kingston dismisses & obfuscates with the word "profit".

  • no, he thinks we are as celever as him

  • clever*

    the irony!

  • Jack Kingston has a profile on YouTube: profile?user=JackKingston

    Leaving a comment and links to this video there will let him know what concerned individuals feel about this disgrace.

  • Is it really him?

  • I dont even know what to say... the extend Kingston is willing to go in order to attack Greenwald. He even tried to make the case that Greenwald is anti profit. Its just pathetic.

  • Kingston's not an asshole...

    ...he's an idiot.

  • Why can't he be both?

  • good point, hehe.

  • yeah dude but how its jankee.

  • Robert shut them down!

  • Kingston is an asshole.

  • He just proved it himself! What a fool...

  • Not only an asshole, but one AMAZING asshole!

  • couldn't have said it better myself. i am speechless.
