Obama just put Monsanto in charge of the FDA . You don't go from being a guy nobody ever heard of to president in under 4 years . He sold out to a few nasty corporations , Monsanto being the worst , but GE and BP are right up there .
One who ignores the truth, and gives a "Pass" to a person, who they consider a Liar, cannot later come back and criticize that person for being a Liar without becoming a Hypocrite, and a Liar themselves! So really, what is this all about?
@MrClint360 Admitting that you were wrong in front of the people that you wronged is not a crime. Malcolm X once said that to have been a criminal wasn't the shame, but to REMAIN a criminal is. Not everyone is perfect throughout their lives, but to admit what you've done wrong and to try to rectify that mistake takes courage.
Ase! I have no problem with that Brother. I am only saying that we should take it slow on criticizing Brother Obama. Why is it that WE are so quick to criticize him as if he has already WRONGED US? WE NEED TO MOVE SLOW in this regard! Let us not do the BUSY work for our enemies.
I guess you did not get the message when he and Hilary went with their hats in their hands to AIPAC to assure the Israeli Lobby they were as pro Zionist as George Bush the Born Again Cretin.
By they way, like they way Obama closed Guantanamo Bay? How about how he banned drones attacks that kill civilians in Pakistan and Afganistan? Bet you were proud when he got repealed the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act?
@MrClint360 He couldn't even admit he lied he could only say "we were less than honest". Notice the pause as he probably realized how hypocritical it would be to admit to lying (though I presume it came from good intentions) after his whole speech was criticizing someone else for lying.
But he's doing a good job in my opinion holding politicians to account but it would have come across a little better here if he was more direct about his own dishonesty.
@MrClint360 Exactly!!! Glen Ford has the effrontery to admit that he and his colleagues violated two of THE MOST TIME HONORED CANONS OF JOURNALISM--HONESTY AND INTEGRITY!!! What is the use in Glen coming forward now in an attempt to minimize his betrayal of the professional trust invested in him? If they had done their jobs correctly the first time perhaps this Obama debacle would never have come to fruition. My view is that he has lost all credibility; he is expendable.
@salahudeenabduladl But thats juxaposed to the aspirations of Black people. Look at the reaction to Tavis Smiley when he opposed Barack Obama. He was villified by Black people, called a "clown", "hater" and shunned to the point to where it affected his income. Now, after 3 years of this administration, you still won't hold Obama accountable for his vacillating and weak results, you blame the messenger. Why? Too egostitical to admit you might have backed the wrong horse?
@DAngelo136 1. You are displaying the exact same obtuseness and myopia that you have ignorantly, misguidedly accused me of doing. YOUR PEURILE PRESUMPTUOUSNESS IS ASTOUNDING AND SOMEWHAT HUMOROUS--IF NOT VEXING!!!! FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE NEVER SUPPORTED OBAMA AT ANY TIME IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER. Your hypocrisy is characteristic of a sophomoric, immature, and knee jerk mentality.
@salahudeenabduladl Doggerel! Using multisyllabic words to obfuscate ones hesitancy to engage in a meaningful debate due to the lack of intellectual integrity and intestinal fortitude displays a great deal of hypocrisy and cowardace to boot. Besides, its P-U-E-R-I-L-E. Have at least the common decency to use proper syntax and spelling. And you still haven't addressed my question. Your wounded ego is showing.
@DAngelo136 2. ONLY A BACKWARD THINKING AND DELUSIONAL OBSCURANTIST WOULD PERCEIVE THE COMMENTS GENERATED BY THIS VIDEO AS BEING REFLECTIVE OF A GENERAL RESENTMENT FOR CHOOSING "THE WROMG HORSE" IN BARAK OBAMA. YOU ARE AN ABJECT FOOL TO DEFLECT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE INDEFENSIBLE PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT,AS JOURNALISTS,DISPLAYED BY GLENN FORD AND HIS COLLEAGUES.
@DAngelo136 3. YOURS IS THE KIND OF KNEE JERK STUPIDITY THAT HINDERS ANALYTIC THINKING AND HOLDING ALL SECTORS ACCOUNTALE FOR THEIR MISCONDUCT TOWARD DOING THEIR JOBS ETHICALLY. IT HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE OF EITHER-OR RELATIVE TO OBAMA AND GLENN FORD'S GROUP. YOU WASTE YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIMITED INTELLECTUAL RESOURCES BY DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE IN THE BETRAYAL OF PROFESSIONAL TRUST AND ETHICS IN GLENN FORD'S GROUP.
@DAngelo136 4. INSTEAD OF MAKING PRESUMPTUOUS AND DELUSIONAL COMMENTS TO ME YOU WOULD DO BETTER TO WRITE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO BLACK AGENDA REPORT AND GLENN FORD FOR THEIR ADMITTED LYING TO THE PUBLIC THAN YOU FOOLISHLY MAKING ASININE STATEMENTS REGARDING YOUR DELUSIONS ABOUT MY MOTIVES FOR CRITICIZING THEM. IDIOT, I HAVE CRITICIZED THEM BECAUSE THEY DESERVE CRITICISM AND HAVE ADMITTEDLY "LIED"; IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE.
@DAngelo136 5. BUT TO A PRETENTIOUS FOOL SUCH AS YOURSELF EVEN SIMPLICITY MAY BE A BIT BEYOUND YOUR LIMITED UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS MY FINAL COMMENT TO YOU; NOTHING MORE NEED BE SAID.
@salahudeenabduladl To quote the late James Brown; "Talking loud but saying nothing". There is no point to your criticism except that you are offended by someone who holds an opinion different than your own. You make no assertions of where Mr. Ford might either be mistaken, erroneous or factually wrong. Instead you engage in name calling and insults and when called on it, you leave in a huff like a petulant child. Apparently, you are unable to engage in an intellectual debate. so leave then.
@MrClint360 War correspondent Chris Hedges is the antithesis to the compromised and mendacious mentality and behavior displayed by Glen Ford. In the Youtube video entitled "The psychological destruction of America - Chris Hedges full speech" hedges clearly states that the responsible and ethical approach to journalism is not to do what you believe is "practical" or "reflective of a sense of hopefulness" but simply what is "right or moral," whatever may be the outcome.
@MrClint360 For the audience seeming to not hold Ford accountable, and blithely accepting the admission of such behavior, is exemplary of how the masses have devolvied into a collective bovine mentality and desensitization.
