I think I would have about died of laughter if he actually did yell out, "Allah hu akhbar!"... Very disappointing that he didn't, but of course, he had a point about it being a pretty huge risk.
most definately i have almost seen all the cllips and still on voyage of listening to this man he is real talk and thats what we need its funny but real i give the man total respect ...
So take the 2 million illegals per year that come in, they have to be covered. Add to that the 500,000 babies a year they have, plus 2 million visa holders a year, 500,000 "anchor babies" from them. Add in the 2 million legal immigrants (too many) who come in who havent even payed into the system yet....plus the 20 million illegals already here (plus thier anchor babies). You see? Obamas healthcare plan would have to cover ALL OF THAT...what a disaster! It would BREAK US!
Yes slicbro, free college and free healthcare is total CRAP. Where in the constitution does it say "goverment gaurentees free healthcare and free college"? I must of missed that part.
Firstly, the illegals have to be stopped from coming in and anchor baby law reversed, or we end up covering all of Mexico and central America, which will break us. Secondly, free healthcare and free college is "robbing from those who have, for those who have-not". Not what America is about.
I thought Rudy had a good speech, and Romney and Huck gave good speeches. And yes Cenk, they got a hell of a bump in the polls, so obviously it sold. Now McCain lead Obama in all of the polls, and leadsd by a whopping 9 points in Ohio when I last looked!
Why does your party allow the far left to run liberal canadate instead of a good safe canadate in the center? You can forget about liberal programs like healthcare and free college, that crap will never sell with the American people.
free college and free health care is crap to you? So what you are saying is that educating as much of our citizens as possible, and making sure they are healthy enough to work as hard as possible everyday is something the American people dont want? Dude i've traveled a lot last year, and one thing i concluded was that we are falling way behind almost all the other G8 nations. Thats scares me. What are we gona do when god forbid the chinese overtake us. Wake the fuck up nitwit!!
How dare Cenk attack this former POW who gave so much to this nation. Who does Cenk think he is? McCain knows about healthcare, after all, he got some goverment run health care in Hanoi Vietnam, so he knows a thing or two about healthcare.
"Sounded harsh"? wtf?? Well, unfortunately it's working. Obama's boring "playing it safe" bullshit will now backfire and cost him the election. Congrats.
News flash: This is a democracy. We are the government, for the people, by the people. And, it's time we lift ourselves up, in part, by voting for someone who represents us and the country as a whole as apposed to voting for someone who represents the privileged few. Voting for Obama is a vote for the morality and accountability of our country.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
We're suppose to be a Democratic Republic. A Representative Democracy. This is not authorized into the US Constitution.
What is he going to do for you?Is that how you determine your vote on??? What is he going to do for me?Greedy isn't it. How about what is he going to do for the country?
Take care of yourself. Quit looking for hand-outs and step up and do something for yourself.
Palin seems to think that being strident and sarcastic is being courageous and insightful. It reminds me a lot of Spiro Agnew (I may be dating myself.)
And McCain is pretty old and grumpy and keeps telling his stories differently. Reminds me a lot of Bob Dole.
No wonder the convention was boring: It was a rerun.
Excellent assesment of Palin, I thought that myself. As an Irishman I'm on the outside looking in and I've felt that she seems to think being sassy is whats needed. This old fashioned brutishness, akin to Thatcher, is just so antiquated and nonsensical.
I hope for the good of America, and the world Obama and Biden get in.
She's the same woman that said that she didn't even know what the VP did. They're scared that she's going to expose herself to the media in a way that'd kill their campaign, so they want to keep her bottled up until they jam enough talking points into her head.
I'm so glad you all went to the RNC. Coverage that you provided was hard if not impossible to find elsewhere. Not only coverage of the event but debates with the participants. Good work all!
McCain's speech was cringeworthy. Of all the AWFUL speeches in this sorry convention, the thing that stands out as the funniest is Rudy Giuliani actually saying the Democrats didn't mention 9-11 enough. Does he not remember that Biden buried his candidacy with his noun, verb, 9-11 line? I was rolling on the floor when he said that.
man im neither republican or democrat, but from all the vids he covered at the RNC, it showed me how most republicans have a closed mind and invalid arguments. Cenk thanks for opening our minds dude, u fuckin rock
Reagan went to Moscow. Shook hands with Gorbachev. Restored American's faith in the military. Conducted a campaign of rhetoric and put the Soviets in their place. With the increase of defense spending... He bankrupted the Soviet economy.
What will McCain do? These people have ruined the Republican Party. A ceaseless occupation, unfathomable spending, provisions on civil liberties, acknowledging the validity of torture, and circumnavigating the Constitution. What more?
Reagan even offered the Soviets our missile defense technology when Gorby was complaining about the program. He said that if we perfect it, he'd give it up. Gorby didn't really know what to do. That was instrumental in building trust and working out a deal. RWers at the time hated that Reagan went to that summit. Nowadays, when a Dem even mentions diplomacy, they're chastised as traitors etc. It's ridiculous. Nixon and Reagan were diplomatic. It's how we've always done business.
They hated him for it because from their point of view the only reason to build it was to change the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction so that it would be possible if need be for the US to consider a first strike. They never really wanted it just as a deterrent. That's why Russia goes batshit about the idea of putting it in Poland.
Come on Nixon? Nixon went to China at the time when it looked like Russia and China were going to war! Had he not gone, Russia and China would have halted weapons shipments to North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. And if that happened... The POWs could have been sent home without carpet bombing Hanoi. But, that is merely revisionist thinking. And now, 95% of the products we buy come from China.
Not saying it was perfect, or that I'm a fan, but nowadays neocons go nuts at the idea of diplomacy. Nixon at least tried it. These "War First, Country Second" guys think anything less than war is practically treason.
I was watching the McCain speech from my hotel room in Argentina (where, granted it's a bit later). I feel asleep three times. No joke. I tried to stay awake, but I just couldn't do it.
If you can be a moderate to a liberal and survive a Rethuglican convention then you can survive anything. i have no idea why the MSM is fawning of his speech as if it was excelent and then there was that darn 911 video...WTH?
If one of my loved ones died in one of the attacks, if my father was the one in footage being pulled out dead, I'd want to murder those sick fucks who clapped at that video. They love blood and death. It makes them salivate.
There's the 2 in San Diego overlooking the ocean... Arizona, DC, Florida,...Well fucking Christ why the fuck are asking me, You could not possibly understand how fucking Gigantically Rich I am, SHIT, I freak my own self out. Talk about livin Laaarrrrge.
His platform says that we have to "stay the course" with the war and that the future will be more hideous than the past- it's a dangerous world. Fear Fear Fear-

Cool your jets, John. You've been living here with a cozy-ass life as a Senator with a rich beer heiress wife with 7 houses for the past 30+ years!!! Don't dwell on the past and whine to me! Get over it.
With Obama, there is the potential that he would at least try to do the things he says he will. With McCain, even if he fulfils his promises the country will be no better for it.
McCain needs to be in a mental hospital, not the White House or the Senate. Someone needs to do a psych. evaluation of his mental state and see if he's actually sane. The Democrats thought Barry Goldwater was insane and had a bunch of psychologists supposedly psychoanalyze him, and they said he was "unstable", but John McCain takes the cake!! Besides, Goldwater's campaign sued, and the results of that study were fraudulent.
McCain is nothing but a greedy, narcissistic, arrogant jerkoff who overemphasizes his military service and LOVES and needs the attention he gets as a "maverick." Being bipartisan allows him to get in good with the other side, and that reduces his stress and gives him more praise than he would get if he was just some uptight conservative douche Republican who doesn't work well w/ others.
John McCain: Too Senile for America. He'll probably get Alzheimer's his 2nd year in office. Just you wait
I got so sickened when John McCain actually uttered the words, "I was blessed to come upon misfortune." It's like, "WTF do u mean, 'blessed'? How do you think people in poor African regions feel that you're saying misfortune is ever a good thing?" Misfortune, except for evil people like al qaeda, is generally a bad thing. If something 'good' comes out of it, so be it, but that doesn't mean misfortune was good. I'm so sick of him riding on this POW shit. "I was tortured! POW! Prison camp!"
Give it a rest, Senator! We got it! Our memories aren't shoddy like yours. I can't believe the GOP is actually gonna give us some old fart who can't think rationally and always excuses himself from trouble by talking about his military past, as if his whole life is defined by war. I'll say it again: John McCain has war on the brain. He saw KGB when he looked into Putin's eyes, and he wants to bomb Iran. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years and doesn't think occupation is bad.
I switched over to the UFC countdown after about an hour. It was painful, my brother and I were doing 2000 space theatre commentary. He was feeble, sad, lying, and pathetic. It was actually quite sad.
Aw Cenk you looked cute with your glasses! You should wear them on camera more. :) LOL about your life being worse with listening to McCain. Was it that bad? Great job covering the convention Cenk. You guys who all were there who weren't republican were brave!
SHit, i didnt want to put myself through that much shit. I am tired of hearing about his pow experience. Good, he did good, im done with it. It doesnt excuse his bad policies, it doesnt excuse his nasty temperament and insultive personality. it doesnt excuse his immorality cheating on his wife and acting like an irresponsible kid. It doesnt excuse him delaying for 1 year, investigation into the Keating savings and loan billions scandal failure. etc.
Could it be that the GOP have become so repulsive that they can only appeal to people by arousing their sense of pity? Search this on YouTube "What John Mccain Does Not want You To See". The Mccaininites will be cast out on Nov.4. The best thing that could happen to the GOP, is to make it's death official in the Senate, House and Executive.
tank you cenk and the young turks for the hard work you do great job this week in trying to educate the right better luck next time and watch your back cus the hip hop republican's i think there hard core and there coming for u LOL
So what I've done is tape about 25 minutes from McCain speeches.
I swear I hardly ever get beyond 2 or 3 minutes & I'm knocked out totally.
I'd actually recommend that when a patient comes to a doctor suffering from insominia, rather than prescribe pills, the doctor give the patient a McCain tape.
A truely loyal republican should do his beloved party a favour and NOT vote for them. Republicans seem to need a break from power to reform and reinvent themselves in the next four to eight years. They are exhausted and their ideology is outrun by progressing reality. Take a break to catch up again, republicans!
Personally I consider anyone who would get as bad of grades in flight school (or whatever it was) as he did and still allow himself to be put in the pilot seat is a disgrace and deserved to be captured. He kept a good pilot out of that seat that actually earned it just so he could be an f'n admiral like his daddy and grand daddy. He was a danger to our men on the ground and in the air.
How in god's name did you make it through a week surrounded by these people? Palin's speech alone was enough to send me straight to the liquor cabinet! Oy.
i don't think he's a war hero. We tend to believe that he is, but i would doubt that he is. That part of his life is little more than a story we believe. It is like believing the pope has something to do with god.
Actually Cenk, his tax plan is good. Raising ANY taxes will cause prices to go up (to make up for it), and the middle class will have to pay more for goods.
However, John McCain is WRONG on trade. The last thing we want is more free trade deals. Attack him on that. And also, he is wrong on immigration. But Obama wants every illegal to have a drivers liscense.
Sarah Palin is McCains biggest weapon. Very impressive.
exactly. doesn't this make you all wonder about those vote counting machines??? if huckabee or even giuliano were the candidate it would be plausible, but this beggars belief. if I was an american I could be calling for international electon observers to monitor the election!
ihavenopantson, what was your favorite part of Palins' speach? Was it the remark about Hockey Moms and Pitbulls or was it that about her family's struggle?
What did she say about Iraq? About Healthcare? About pensions? ABout crime? About education?
After reading reaction to these speeches it seems like Fox News isn't the only propaganda instrument for the Republicans. MSN, MSNBC, and Google are all fawning over the right-wing extremist rhetoric. You would think Palin is the second coming. I think she is scary. She can't even run her family and she could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency? She chose to have a baby with downs syndrome yet doesn't want to other women the same choice? Even in rape cases? Did Hitler have a sister?
The only credit do to the Republicans is for the Religious factions within their party to take on the Racist, Bigots Homophobes and Overall disgusting ignorant Zealots from the Democratic Party when James Strom Thurmond left for the Republicans in 1964.
The Democratic Party is still the Conservative Progressive Party regardless, and the Republican Party is still the Liberal & Classical Liberal Party regardless.
the 2 conventions are as different as night and day just like the 2 parties. one is inclusive, a little dysfunctional, but tries to include anyway. the other is all appearance and no substance. mostly slogans
Dude, you rock. Thanks for bringing us all the great (and PSYCHO) interviews. These people are NUTS, and you have a lot of courage spending the week in that place. Thanks!
lol, TYT is great, this is way better than mainstream media because it speaks the truth. They don't talk about the black and white issues but the grey about them. TYT forever!
I know what McSame went through now. That speech was torture.
How could anyone vote for these people? They are right-wing extremist from the same people that gave us George W. We can't take four more years of that.
no issues were raised. Palin demeaned community organisers and Guilianni mocked community organising as a problem on Obama's resumee.
The problem, is Guilianni thought he could win an election by starting from florida. He is not intelligent. God, that idiot married his own cousin. What moral authority does he have to attack Barack.
This convention indicates to me that the GOP have nothing tom offer. No credible plan. It's just about attacking Obama.
I think I would have about died of laughter if he actually did yell out, "Allah hu akhbar!"... Very disappointing that he didn't, but of course, he had a point about it being a pretty huge risk.

Cool your jets, John. You've been living here with a cozy-ass life as a Senator with a rich beer heiress wife with 7 houses for the past 30+ years!!! Don't dwell on the past and whine to me! Get over it.

With Obama, there is the potential that he would at least try to do the things he says he will. With McCain, even if he fulfils his promises the country will be no better for it.

McCain needs to be in a mental hospital, not the White House or the Senate. Someone needs to do a psych. evaluation of his mental state and see if he's actually sane. The Democrats thought Barry Goldwater was insane and had a bunch of psychologists supposedly psychoanalyze him, and they said he was "unstable", but John McCain takes the cake!! Besides, Goldwater's campaign sued, and the results of that study were fraudulent.

McCain is nothing but a greedy, narcissistic, arrogant jerkoff who overemphasizes his military service and LOVES and needs the attention he gets as a "maverick." Being bipartisan allows him to get in good with the other side, and that reduces his stress and gives him more praise than he would get if he was just some uptight conservative douche Republican who doesn't work well w/ others.

I got so sickened when John McCain actually uttered the words, "I was blessed to come upon misfortune." It's like, "WTF do u mean, 'blessed'? How do you think people in poor African regions feel that you're saying misfortune is ever a good thing?" Misfortune, except for evil people like al qaeda, is generally a bad thing. If something 'good' comes out of it, so be it, but that doesn't mean misfortune was good. I'm so sick of him riding on this POW shit. "I was tortured! POW! Prison camp!"

Give it a rest, Senator! We got it! Our memories aren't shoddy like yours. I can't believe the GOP is actually gonna give us some old fart who can't think rationally and always excuses himself from trouble by talking about his military past, as if his whole life is defined by war. I'll say it again: John McCain has war on the brain. He saw KGB when he looked into Putin's eyes, and he wants to bomb Iran. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years and doesn't think occupation is bad.

SHit, i didnt want to put myself through that much shit. I am tired of hearing about his pow experience. Good, he did good, im done with it. It doesnt excuse his bad policies, it doesnt excuse his nasty temperament and insultive personality. it doesnt excuse his immorality cheating on his wife and acting like an irresponsible kid. It doesnt excuse him delaying for 1 year, investigation into the Keating savings and loan billions scandal failure. etc.

Could it be that the GOP have become so repulsive that they can only appeal to people by arousing their sense of pity? Search this on YouTube "What John Mccain Does Not want You To See". The Mccaininites will be cast out on Nov.4. The best thing that could happen to the GOP, is to make it's death official in the Senate, House and Executive.

I sometimes suffer from insominia.
But I really don't like to take pills.
So what I've done is tape about 25 minutes from McCain speeches.
I swear I hardly ever get beyond 2 or 3 minutes & I'm knocked out totally.
I'd actually recommend that when a patient comes to a doctor suffering from insominia, rather than prescribe pills, the doctor give the patient a McCain tape.

A truely loyal republican should do his beloved party a favour and NOT vote for them. Republicans seem to need a break from power to reform and reinvent themselves in the next four to eight years. They are exhausted and their ideology is outrun by progressing reality. Take a break to catch up again, republicans!

Personally I consider anyone who would get as bad of grades in flight school (or whatever it was) as he did and still allow himself to be put in the pilot seat is a disgrace and deserved to be captured. He kept a good pilot out of that seat that actually earned it just so he could be an f'n admiral like his daddy and grand daddy. He was a danger to our men on the ground and in the air.

Actually Cenk, his tax plan is good. Raising ANY taxes will cause prices to go up (to make up for it), and the middle class will have to pay more for goods.
However, John McCain is WRONG on trade. The last thing we want is more free trade deals. Attack him on that. And also, he is wrong on immigration. But Obama wants every illegal to have a drivers liscense.
Sarah Palin is McCains biggest weapon. Very impressive.

The reason Cenk doesnt like hearing about McCain's POW experience, is becaue it intimidates him. It shows the character of John McCain.
Obama on the other hand doesnt have anything tangible to point out to the American people, he only has his talk of supposed change.

After reading reaction to these speeches it seems like Fox News isn't the only propaganda instrument for the Republicans. MSN, MSNBC, and Google are all fawning over the right-wing extremist rhetoric. You would think Palin is the second coming. I think she is scary. She can't even run her family and she could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency? She chose to have a baby with downs syndrome yet doesn't want to other women the same choice? Even in rape cases? Did Hitler have a sister?

The only credit do to the Republicans is for the Religious factions within their party to take on the Racist, Bigots Homophobes and Overall disgusting ignorant Zealots from the Democratic Party when James Strom Thurmond left for the Republicans in 1964.
The Democratic Party is still the Conservative Progressive Party regardless, and the Republican Party is still the Liberal & Classical Liberal Party regardless.

no issues were raised. Palin demeaned community organisers and Guilianni mocked community organising as a problem on Obama's resumee.
The problem, is Guilianni thought he could win an election by starting from florida. He is not intelligent. God, that idiot married his own cousin. What moral authority does he have to attack Barack.
This convention indicates to me that the GOP have nothing tom offer. No credible plan. It's just about attacking Obama.
What about us? What about us?
