black people are going to cost obama the election. they are acting dumb by media channel's. mccain is going to win. black people just to dumb and getto. the way they back staBBed bill clinton show's how black people are un greatful.
Every ancestor on his father's side has an Arabic name, because his father was officially classified as "Arab African" by the Kenyan government.
100% African tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father's decision to name him with an Arabic done deliberately to ethnically separate from the African tribes. Researching his roots reveal that on his father's side, he is descended from Arab slave traders.
Nearly everyone in the world is descended from Arabic ancestors (like literally every human on the planet except for possibly some 'uncontacted' people in South America).
Hussein is an Arabic name, but was also commonly used in African countries by non-Arabs (and certainly by non-Muslims). It's analogous to John in the US--it's a Biblical name, but not all Johns are born to Christians. -John (who is Christian, but doesn't have to be just because of my name!)
What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming "America's first African-American president" ignore that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold.
It is not Obama that is claiming to be African-American rather America classifies anyone with black heritage to be black. Secondly, Obama's father is 100% African with no Arabic lineage. Check your sources so you don't appear ignorant
Someone earlier in comments suggested that you accompany Hank as either Mr. Big, or Samantha. I think instead, you should accompany him as....Charlotte's asian daughter.
Remember, the current "head" of the Republican party and Karl Rove's former boss once said that he was "feeding the hand that bites me." Those are some scary hands.
If talking cigarettes actually did exist... I really don't believe they would be talking during the situation Karl spoke of... They would probably be screaming from the extreme pain of burning alive while someone sucked the life out of them until they were nothing more than mere charred cigarette butt.
Also, I would assume that there are some country clubs today that carry smoking permits allowing their rich patrons to smoke indoors, but I don't picture Obama like that.
Karl Rove has already demonstrated twice that he can get Republican voted by lashing out with disinformation & innuendo. We should expect nothing different this time. He is still running the Republican campaigns even if his name isnt on them. He is chief puppetmaster. I wish he were chief masterbator. That's where he belongs.
In the spirit of correcting grammar, the correct word is 'you're' not 'your'. If you're going to insult someone, especially if said person's intelligence is the target, please have the sense to do so intelligently. Otherwise you just come off as an ass.
Thankk you grammmer police. Unfortunatelee i dont spend time grammer checkkking my posts prior to posting on Youtub? Is that ok with you grammer nazi?
I always love these ignorant pretenses. Whether you decide to spend the extra few seconds to check your grammar or spelling is certainly up to you. But, what you must consider is that the way you choose to write is what tells those who are reading your words who you are. It's all we have to go on. When your communication is sloppy and ill-framed, we can only deduce that you lack the intelligence to do better. You have certainly proven that to be true.
So how is the weather up there on your pedesal. Get over yourself. This is youtube. A mish mash of idiot. Do you really think I care what you or anyone else thinks or assumes about me? SO you think because i dont check my grammar that im ignorant, so what. Think im ignorant what do i care? I think you should get off your high horse and stop playing teacher to everyone on a WORLD WIDE WEBSITE. Fuckin loser.
You obviously cared enough to get upset about it, so, yes, I do think you care whether or not people think you're ignorant. If not, then why the pique? I apologize for bruising your tender feelings.

He's not just attacking what he says. He is constructing a point about the education standard by using Rove's grammer as an example. Plus.. It's funny XD
you're allowed to smoke at my country club as long as you're in the bar or the men's lounge. I've never heared the cigarettes talk, but as I'm female and under 21, this could just be because they're shy.

Yes! Grammar ftw! I guess the secrets of the GOP have been unearthed with the discovery of these "talking cigarettes."
And I've seen Obama at those country clubs. Like oh my god. He is like, so aloof it's like, not even funny. Like, he thinks he's better than us! --jk :)
Haha. I hate it when people use grammar incorrectly. It would have only been better if Rove mixed up your and you're.
DEAR NERDFIGHTERIA,
We need to band together and teach the young and old how to formulate sentences with proper grammar! Our nation is drowning is a sea of literary under-culture, that is filled with abbreviations and concoctions of new adjectives and nouns that are not even based in English. We must stop it!
Mm...talking cigs? Seriously? That's the potency of your political argument against Karl Rove? That he stumbles on the English language? Seriously? I think the arrogance thing came from the seal Mr. Obama came out with this week that very closely resembles the Presidential Seal...and it rubbed more than a few (including me) the wrong way. But proceed to instead focus on his lack of English speaking skills as it were.
Just being the devils advocate speaking from the other side of the fence
I have a lot of arguments against Karl Rove: For instance, I dislike that he spearheaded the politicization of every facet of government, which hurt our ability to respond effectively to crises (Katrina) and to gather intelligence about our enemies (Iran).
He also found subtle ways to dehumanize his critics--and I think the quote I read is just another example of that. -John
OK, good. Now we're having a discussion rather than a grammar Nazi video post that plays right into Rove's hands. I was thinking about this as I woke up...but this video does just what Obama's being accused of. Elitist arrogance. "Rove is bad because his inability to put a sentence together that makes sense." Now you and I both know you're not elite or arrogant...but that's how this video rubbed me. As for Katrina...that wasn't just a Rove thing. Mr. Nagin takes the fall too.
As for dehumanizing opponents...that's how politics is played. It's a tough game and it's a big boy/girl game. Does that make it right? Not particulary but it's a game that will be played for sometime to come. As a side note John I appreciate you taking the time to talk this stuff out. It's not often I find myself appreciating a healthy debate with the other side that doesn't consist of "BUSHHITLER!" and all the ick that comes with it.
I don't think politics needs to be a game at all, or that it needs to be dehumanizing. (Such is not the case in the UK, for instance.) Nor should politics inhabit every facet of our government. (This is not a republican or democratic problem, by the way. The Clintons did it almost as much as Rove as his minions did. I just think it's a problem.) -John
Really, is that a fact? Where is your evidence? Barack as admitted to the use of cocaine while he was in high school. He does not use now and you have no ligament proof that he does. So don't go around thinking you know what you are talking about when you make comments like that.
Ah, I had a feeling you might be about 12 years old. Now that I'm sure, I'll leave you alone. You can go outside and play now; I think you need the fresh air.
Ok, John the side bar on Youtube is always on the same side that your wedding band is on!!! (unless you move your ring and then you'll probably get in trouble with the Yeti)
So what do you think of the Democrats and Obama possibly granting immunity to the telecommunication companies? As a democrat I was really disappointed. I was hoping Obama would take a firm stance against this and lead the party. Any thoughts? Oh by the way I love this new channel!
I'm really disappointed in the Dems supporting that awful bill as well. Bless Russ Feingold's heart, but I don't think he can hold it off by himself forever.
It makes me sad that an important member of our nation (hold on, I need to stop laughing) does not utilize grammar in his everyday speech. I hope he isn't looking to be a shining example of our educational system (or of the U.S. 'system' for that matter).
John pwns Rove!
How come he's still so relevant despite being out of the White House? Makes me angry.
Seeing as how much they love GMO's over in the GOP perhaps it really is a talking cigarette...
Oh and I'm so glad Obama is all about 'change' because Bush's illegal spying is getting on my nerves... oh wait... "Obama Silent as Democrats Give Bush More Spying Powers" (see huffingtonpost for story)
*sigh*
I wish folks would demand more than "not as bad as the other guy" choices in political races...

John McCain came back from Vietnam with a limp.
He was met by his wife, who had been in a devastating car crash, also with a limp.
She loved him despite the changes in him, though he was not the fit flyboy she had married.
He began cheating on her because she was not the fit model he had married.
He met, dated, slept with, and proposed to Cindy while he was still married.
Character matters. McCain lacks character.

Mm...talking cigs? Seriously? That's the potency of your political argument against Karl Rove? That he stumbles on the English language? Seriously? I think the arrogance thing came from the seal Mr. Obama came out with this week that very closely resembles the Presidential Seal...and it rubbed more than a few (including me) the wrong way. But proceed to instead focus on his lack of English speaking skills as it were.
Just being the devils advocate speaking from the other side of the fence

I have a lot of arguments against Karl Rove: For instance, I dislike that he spearheaded the politicization of every facet of government, which hurt our ability to respond effectively to crises (Katrina) and to gather intelligence about our enemies (Iran).
He also found subtle ways to dehumanize his critics--and I think the quote I read is just another example of that. -John

OK, good. Now we're having a discussion rather than a grammar Nazi video post that plays right into Rove's hands. I was thinking about this as I woke up...but this video does just what Obama's being accused of. Elitist arrogance. "Rove is bad because his inability to put a sentence together that makes sense." Now you and I both know you're not elite or arrogant...but that's how this video rubbed me. As for Katrina...that wasn't just a Rove thing. Mr. Nagin takes the fall too.

As for dehumanizing opponents...that's how politics is played. It's a tough game and it's a big boy/girl game. Does that make it right? Not particulary but it's a game that will be played for sometime to come. As a side note John I appreciate you taking the time to talk this stuff out. It's not often I find myself appreciating a healthy debate with the other side that doesn't consist of "BUSHHITLER!" and all the ick that comes with it.
Thanks from the other side of the aisle.

I don't think politics needs to be a game at all, or that it needs to be dehumanizing. (Such is not the case in the UK, for instance.) Nor should politics inhabit every facet of our government. (This is not a republican or democratic problem, by the way. The Clintons did it almost as much as Rove as his minions did. I just think it's a problem.) -John

barack obama uses cocaine..
that is how he is charming all of us..
this is not a smear or anything like that-
it's just a fact..

Really, is that a fact? Where is your evidence? Barack as admitted to the use of cocaine while he was in high school. He does not use now and you have no ligament proof that he does. So don't go around thinking you know what you are talking about when you make comments like that.

no need to prove anything about obama- he's out- hillary is our next president..
possibly mccain but i doubt it..
and YOU probably don't get it..
az101010 3 years ago
Sounds like you might be the one on cocaine.

Ah, I had a feeling you might be about 12 years old. Now that I'm sure, I'll leave you alone. You can go outside and play now; I think you need the fresh air.

John, the sidebar is always to your left. If you point to your left. you are pointing to the sidebar. Try to remember that.

So what do you think of the Democrats and Obama possibly granting immunity to the telecommunication companies? As a democrat I was really disappointed. I was hoping Obama would take a firm stance against this and lead the party. Any thoughts? Oh by the way I love this new channel!

I'm really disappointed in the Dems supporting that awful bill as well. Bless Russ Feingold's heart, but I don't think he can hold it off by himself forever.

Thank you for the 'that/who' differentiation. People like you are a dying breed.

It makes me sad that an important member of our nation (hold on, I need to stop laughing) does not utilize grammar in his everyday speech. I hope he isn't looking to be a shining example of our educational system (or of the U.S. 'system' for that matter).
John pwns Rove!
How come he's still so relevant despite being out of the White House? Makes me angry.

This comment comes to you in 3 parts!
1.Wow... I didn't know the lack of facility with the English language extended to Bush's employees and colleagues as well.
2. Is it just me or does John have a slight Southern accent in this video?
3. Can't wait to see more political videos from you guys! :)

I had to go back in the video to hear the quote again, and then I showed this to my (republican) dad. He just shook his head.
Nice video John! ^_^

Rove is like decepticonian incarnate.
Seeing as how much they love GMO's over in the GOP perhaps it really is a talking cigarette...
Oh and I'm so glad Obama is all about 'change' because Bush's illegal spying is getting on my nerves... oh wait... "Obama Silent as Democrats Give Bush More Spying Powers" (see huffingtonpost for story)
*sigh*
I wish folks would demand more than "not as bad as the other guy" choices in political races...
