  • this guy REALLY like Obama. has he ever criticized Obama? Can he do no wrong?

  • This show keeps popping up in recommended videos and its really irritating and elitist. Its like the liberal version of FOX news on the internet. It is actually worse which I didn't think possible.

  • What the fuck? So any politician that critises or refuses to go along with a president's political agenda should be accused of being motivated by ''professional jealousy''? What a dumb fucking question to ask. I would love to ask the fatso in the video if its just professional jealousy going on when he criticises Limbaugh or Hannity....

  • @TheProgressistViewer Exactly...

  • I can not wait until the Republicans get through tossing Michael Steel under the bus, then America will recognize that Republicans are running a racist agenda!

  • @knightyou ur paranoid

  • not saying steele isnt an assclown but it isnt outragous not to be jealous of obama he may be president but i bet his life sucks i dont envy him at all

  • TYT are a bunch of socialist fags.

  • Turk you're an awsome clone too. You crack me up.

  • Somebody should shoot these turk guys.

  • @hannityforpres don't watch then

  • Steele is the guy who you see who somehow made it onto the city council even though he was considered an idiot last week. The Democrats nominated and elected a black man. The comment was made that the Reps NEVER thought about nominating a black man for president since they were the "good ole boy" party. All of a sudden they gave Steele a job at the RNC where he couldn't really do any damage and he thinks he is accepted for his own merit. They must laugh at him alot.

  • Wow Cenk nailed it. Steele totally seems like a character from Best in Show. . I always wondered why i can't even begin to take Steele seriously.

  • i hope you get a disease that is vaccine preventable, and all your friends are like "dude why the fuck do you have polio that shit is from the 18th century".

  • I'm pretty sick of the "Koolaid" reference. Yeah, I get it, a Jonestown joke. Classy.

  • OOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhh! Come on! He has to be jealous. The First Black Presidet and Michael Steele isn't a little bit jealous??????

  • This is childish..It's like grade school..leave it to stupid ass liberals to come up with shit like this.

  • Comment removed

  • You're right. Great Job Obama...!! I would spend less time looking at you're dictionary and copying word for word what things mean rather than making a real effort to get a grasp of reality and the world you live in. The economy is in the toilet. War is still going on..etc.. etc. but you need to define what a liberal is to me...Stupid ass liberal defines you ..There's no debate here its just a statement of fact.

  • How do you expect anyone to get anything done when the Republicans in Congress are playing games with our lives? They are trying to destroy anything Obama tries to accomplish and it is HIS FAULT? George Bush was told in detail why his financial policies would create this mess back in 2001. Democrats were called unAmerican or unPatriotic for not agreeing with that ASSHOLE. You think insulting me, even though you don't know the difference between your and you're, and I need LESS English lessons?

  • @azmildman Maybe it is because I am not a liberal, but I fail to see exactly what Cenk criticized Steele for. Steele was asked if he was jealous of Obama. Its a horrible question to ask and what else do you expect him to answer? What would have been your answer? Would Nancy Pelosi have said she was jealous of Bush?

    The best Cenk did here was criticize Steele for his looks. The level of his criticism was like a 10 yr old retarded class bully. Cenk basically said:Steele is a pizza face ha ha!

  • @Mrparrot73 Not being a liberal means that you either ignore or don't listen to our like minded people who immediately, when Obama became the first African American in the White House, turned to the RNC and asked them why they were ALL WHITE at the time, and then Michael Steele popped up and was elected by the RNC as a token to prove they weren't racist. Do you really believe there is no professional jealousy there? His reaction to the question sounded almost undeniably facetious.

  • @azmildman I am fairly certain 99% of top American politicians are jealous of Obama and want to be President. Who would not want to be President of the US?

    I just asked if it was fair to pick out one person and ask such an unfair question. What answer did he expect? What would have been your answer? If you were asked at the office party if you are jealous of your CEO, what would you say? What if you were asked in front of the entire office if you want to sleep with your boss hot wife?

  • @azmildman Please consider providin answers to these questions in front of your office coworkers:

    Would you sleep with the boss wife? What if she stripped in front of you?

    If a rival company offered you $1 million to steal company secrets, would you do it?

    have you ever wanted to smack your boss on the head?

    Do you think your boss makes more money than he deserves?

  • @Mrparrot73 Nice try, troll.

  • @Mrparrot73 Your George Bush analogy doesn't make sense, but if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, then Nancy Pelosi might have been jealous or envious of her for being the first female president. You don't see how a black male politician could be envious of the first black male to become president? Why is that so hard to understand? Or are you just arguing to be a troll?

  • ron paul 08

  • Way to stay current  :P

  • wow whoever the guy is he sure thinks he's important

  • America Loves Kool-Aid.. Keep Drinking It..

  • lol chairman of the rnc omg this tool!

  • This guy is an idiot... not Steele, this guy on this site. Said nothing of any substance typical liberal.

  • yea, he is a total fuckin clot. honestly I think you are a total ignorant prick

  • Micheal Steele is the biggest asshole in the history of the world...Hes a back stabbing ass kicking Fuckhole

  • why cause his point of view is differs from most of u ghetto bitches??? why cant one have different views instead of being called an asshole?? you fucks just dont and never will get it, anyways obama wont get reelected so enjoy, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • @0:42

    Yeah like being chairman of the RNC is anything close to the President of the United States in terms of responsibility.

  • young turks , more like young fags , keep drinking the kool aid u fucking jerk smokes

  • ino, this man makes me sick

  • I'm a conservative but I've been watching your show for the last hour or so. I think you're hilarious even though I don't agree with A LOT of what you say. I also love Glenn Beck as well.

  • And I'm sure Obama is all busted up inside over anything Michael Steele has to say. LOL

  • So three days after Letterman apologizes for his Palin joke, Steele goes after Letterman for guess what? Not apologizing for his Palin joke! This guy is a clueless, incompetent bonehead who will continue to embarrass the Republicans..

  • This guys a fucking fool.I'd love to slap him in the face.

  • Snore. Oh, hi. Look, please write more comments. You see, I have this problem. I'm an insomniac, which means I have trouble sleeping in case you didn't know? Anyway, I'd love to read more of your asinine thoughts, it would help cure my condition, thanks.

  • lol Funny.

  • Wow, pretty juvenile video. And what brilliant commentary from the host. People actually watch this stuff?!

  • Yeah, including you.... Duh.

  • Young Turk,

    By your logic, you are an idiot, pee on. You mean nothing. You are saying that the RNC chair is nothing compared to the president, so where do you stand to either of them? hmm....I guess you stand at 12,000 hits...

  • Haterade.

  • Comment removed

  • To stdoran20

    1. It's spelled PEON, not pee-on. Don't worry though, you'll learn vocabulary by the time you get your middle school diploma.

    2. He didn't say he was anywhere near either of them. Steele, however, did.

    3. Have you ever watched Jay Leno's sketch called "Jaywalking" where he walks around the street asking people questions they should know? If asked, everybody would know who Obama is and what the presidency means. Not as many will know who "Michael Steel head of RNC Chair is."

  • stdoran

    thats right, the rnc chair is less than nothing. and apparently he is rushs house nigger.and we all know rush is a lying ignorant piece of shit drug addict who should be in prison as we speak- preferably in gitmo with bush, who we all know is a lying ignorant piece of shit drug addict.

  • "rushs house nigger"

    You democrats make me sick. I can't believe that such a comment has gotten several thumbs up.

    This reminds me of what Penn Jillette has said, "the Republicans are the part of fear and the Democrats are the party of hate."

  • Good one! High five!?

    Idiot.

  • This commentator is a joke!

  • this is hilarious! he's the president u dip shit ahhaha

  • Look, a racist! He is criticizing Steele! We found a racist! The fat guy has just been branded a racist!

  • Young turd, you are criticizing Steele which makes you racist.

  • *ahem* I'm black and Steele said everything I thought. I am also racist.

  • I don't give a rat's ass if you are black. What do you expect, a medal?

  • *I meant to say Cenk said everything I thought*

    I am also a racist. Steele is a complete idiot.

  • K. You're also an idiot.

  • Racist.

  • :( *drools*

  • Hurry up racist, you are missing your nation of islam meeting.

  • You know, if Steele and the republicans under him didn't so frequently bend over backwards on Rush Limbaugh's command AND if their party wasn't in a downward spiral in popularity (especially when things start to turn around under Obama) that argument about being the head of the RNC might have had just a -little- more believability.

  • "Why would I be jealous?"

    "He's...the President of the United States?"

    Good.

    Lord.

  • lol, sometimes the comments left by people are more interesting than the video. Youtube debates really help bring change in the world ^_^

  • The funny part is how easily angered people get with little black words on a white screen! I guess to some, this is reality!

  • Man If you look at all these choices for the Republican Party. Sarah Palin as their VP candidate, Bobby Jindal as their responder to Obama's address, and Michael Steele as their party chairman. What do they all have in common? They're not white men. Coincidence? No. What else do they have in common? They all turned out to be a disaster.

  • I dont really understand the purpose of this video. i dont what point he is trying to illustrate and why its important. Is it that that peon dosent hold a candle to our lord Obama ? And why is important to point that out ?

  • "His thing's a little longer than your thing" ... LMAO

  • Wasnt the young turks the name of a raceist revolutinary group of folk from WW2?

    From this clip i can see they do not have their own Agenda and are just mouth-piecing for someone elses interests.

    Very easy to see.

    Sorry but your Frauds.

    A dead brain cell could understand that.

    Does anyone else know what it is that they've got on him to make him keep on spewing his Rhetoric?

    Because WE DO.

    Just a Warning.

    Peace,Without your Deviding.

    Truth now from you about the truth or your secrets release...

  • You don't know anything about WW2 do you?

  • I do know a Little,But it was a Question about where the name comes from....I thought Maybe that was where it came from.

    I'll have a look on Wiki to find out.

    But no my knowledge of WW2 is mainly the Financing of it.I do not have much Knowledge of the ins and outs of the Horribl War.

    My Grandfather Fought in Japan during the Campaign.

    Did any of your French relatives fight in the War?

    Peace.

  • Yes, my French relatives fought in the fucking War. And they helped the Allies win! Jeez, what is it with conservatives hating our ally France?

  • I don't hate france, I just cannot get past anyone eating snails and calling it delicacy!

  • Hey, I'm with you on that one man. I'm a vegetarian. But it's not like all French people eat snails, anymore than all American people eat Big Macs and watch NASCAR.

  • you do have a point. As far a big macs, I would bet snails are acutally healthier. Who knows these days what is in the meat contained in a bigmac.

    You mentioned being vegetarian? I hope you are selective in what vegetables you eat.

    Have you seen "The world according to monsanto" on youtube or "Patent for a pig" ?

    It would be worth your while to watch both of these if you consume alot of store bought vegetables.

    I am able to grow and can most of my veggies.

  • Amen.

  • I mean, really, this comment appalls me. How can somebody who supposedly is happy the Axis lost the Second World War attack French people like that? If you're curious where the name "The Young Turks" comes from, look it up! It has nothing to do with WW2, and if you knew even the basic facts about WW2, you would know that my French relatives were ALLIES OF THE UNITED STATES! They helped us defeat the Germans! Seriously, did you even bother to show up at your high school history class? My God!

  • The title of this video made me laugh out loud.... I think Obama has enough on his plate right now w/out having to worry about placating Steeles feelings

  • Especially when the plates cost around 150 a piece!

  • I know this has nothing to do with the video but....My last name is Steele too! My name is Maggie Steele lolz ;D

  • The GOP must get rid of MIchael Steele before the 2010 elections.

    But how can they tactfully do it?

  • Tactful? The GOP tactful?

    Did you not watch coverage of last year's election?

  • there is no doubt that the republicans are out of touch with the people, but i was hoping for a less tabloid form of humor from this show. i don't think the average american spends enough time thinking about michael steele to even care what he has to say.

  • I'm not sure why you were expecting a more elevated level of humor from this show.

    Straight political commentary on TYT is intelligent and often sophisticated.

    But Cenk is not a professional comedian. When he jokes, he jokes like the guy standing next to you in a bar. If you want Noel Coward, rent Designs for Living.

  • the problem with guy standing next me in a bar is that he often doesn't have much to say about the G20 summit. if you were to go to just about any bar in the united states, and start talking about anything other sports, they will look at you as if you were from another planet.

  • house negro

  • What, you're quoting Zawahiri now? Mouthpiece for Al Qaeda?

    Tell me, who are your other heroes?

  • no but you're obviously obsessed with them so I assume your phone has been already tapped

    watch what you say

  • Huh?

    I assume that reply was meant for someone else. Either that or you are hallucinating.

  • Micheal Steele is a puppet. I want to see who has his hand up his crack directly, controling his mouth.

  • at 1:15 Cenk says "His thing is a little larger than your thing" lmao

    That can be taken the wrong way, don't let conservatives hear that part or those homophobs will be on you quick!

  • The GOP can silence Michele Bachman (who hides behind bushes at Gay Rights Rallies & wants a Committee to determine who the Communists are in Congress).

    But their main problems are:

    How can they get rid of Michael Steele, and get Gleen Beck off TV before the 2010 elections?

  • good question i think the republican party has some serious problems to work out i wouldnt be opposed to a break in the party and a creation of a new one...remember history forgets parties and remembers policy...any whigs in congress lol?

  • Really? She wants to revive HUAC?

    Well, I guess we know who her hero is now.

  • why would you want to be president... those who are wise should be president and the wise are smart enough not to run for it

  • What Would I Be Jealous Of ? He's The President Of The United States Of America... And You're Nowhere Near It !!! LOL

  • This isn't a schoolyard, you can't just go "I'm not gonna play with him, he doesn't like me..." This is government you idiot you're supposed to be working for THE PEOPLE.

    If things carry on by next election the Democrats won't even need to have Republicans on their side because they'll have so many seats.

  • Somehow, I don't think it has ever occured to Steele that he's working for "the people."

  • LOL

  • lol, youtube is upside down!!!

    fucking CIA hackers

  • oh nvm

  • MIchael Steel/Michele Bachmann for GOP Pres/VP candidates in 2012!!

  • Wow, dude you are really retarded... making fun of people's mannerisms...

  • This sucked

  • This belong in the XXL magazine n!@@#$ please section. Someone need to pimp slap Michael Creampuff oops I mean Steele. Michael better chill, if he thought that ass kicking that Rush Limbaugh gave him was bad, he better think twice because Obama will make Steele look like a fool. This guy is a foot away from getting a pink slip and the GOP to become history.

  • Obama has bigger issues to deal with than this clown steele. I'm chairman of the Republican party...who gives a shit!!!!!

  • I  eat conservatives for breakfast!!!

  • Then again I don't think any president should be reading off of a god damn telepromptor. You have one of the most prestigious jobs in America, you shouldn't be fucking reading a script- I think they can live without telepromptors. It makes every speech look fraudulent.

  • Oh please flyingtorpedo, Bush had a earpiece in his ear taking instructions from Cheney & Rove. And Bush still couldn't put a sentence together. So cut the telepromptor bullshit.

  • flyingtorpedo,

    "This is the song that never ends,

    it just goes on and on my friends

    Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was,

    and they'll continue singing it forever just because... "

    Get the message?

  • People are not going to let the telepromptor thing go. Everyone has used them but when Obama is speaking he makes it blatenly obvious. Repubs will drive it into the ground to make him look like a puppet robot.

  • It Was Never Obvious Until The Reps Put It In Your Head, And Plus Obama Only Glances At The Teleprompter, It's Obvious He Does'nt Read From It Word For Word.

  • Only glance?? HA. Look at the second presidential speech, he is reading word for word. It looks so fraudulent. And it's not just Obama, I think one of the qualifications for Prez of the USA should be to conduct a speech without reading it.

  • Do You Know How Embrassing For The Country It Will Be For The President To Forget A Speech That He Tried To Memorize ? Think About It

    Teleprompters For The Most Part, Are Very Necessary.

  • It's not that hard. Especially if you are one of the brightests in America. Relying on a telepromptor for a 3 minute speech is lazy. Republicans and Democrats alike.

  • They couldn't get Clinton on anything real so they impeached him for fooling around, as if it were on the level of treason. Now, the best thing they can come up with on Obama is the Great Teleprompter Scandal.

    Are the GOP sheep really so stupid as to take this up as a cause? I mean W couldn't say his own name without a prompter.

    Or are they that low and desperate? (Hmmm. I'm going to go with #2)

    Please.

    Go get some sleep.

  • But capitalizing every word you write is not.

  • Because It Catches Asshole's Attention, Like Yourself !!! LOL

  • Ignore flyingtorpedo. The Klan member goes to every political video and proceeds to bash Obama all the time with no credible argument.

    Apparently, he would rather have Bush back in power because he has done SO MUCH for America.

  • The Klan member. lol what a fucking joke. I love how ignorant ultra liberals associate opposing points of view with the klan. You think Micheal Steele is in the klan too? Maybe like Clayton Bigsby by Dave Chapelle huh? I don't bash Obama I say whats obvious that the media doesn't. No I don't wan't Bush back in power. Nice try little guy.

  • You state "I say whats obvious that the media doesn't."

    Great. We really need a blubbering idiot like yourself establishing an argument because of the use of a teleprompter. Is that what Rush told you to say?

    You do not have an opposing view per se because all you are doing is whining about now is how the President uses a teleprompter.

    You obviously took no issue when Cheney was a puppet master with Bush but then again, someone so foolish as yourself could not be expected to.

    Fool.

  • You are obviously no different then are you?

    Someone says something your simple mind cannot process, and you start whining and blubbering because it goes against the point you are desperately trying to make but in reality it is no point at all, just rhetoric and then you stoop to the same level with a double insult because you are insecure in the point you just made, and have to sell the idea with name calling. Hows that for a blubbering idiot? blah blah! I can blubber all day! I'm laid off!

  • wlfee1969,

    Do you really wish to discuss idiots? He made a statement and I responded. That is called an argument.

    You, however, wish to interject yourself and accuse me of whining because fools like yourself resort to that when people object to initial statements.

    People like are the reason why countries and societies fail because you cry complaining when someone attempts to respond to IDIOTIC accusations such as the President is incompetent because he "MAY" use a teleprompter. congrats.

  • look, you are doing it again, whining. Get over it.

    There is no need to write a BOOK on the matter at hand. Surely you could have summed it up in much less detail. Take a break from your keyboard, Step out side, breathe some fresh air, it will be ok!

    If this is not enough for you, then re-read last post, and get all worked up again, Please though, don't give yourself a coronary!!!

    I won't even bother commenting on latest post, It is overkill anyway...

  • Typical idiot on Youtube. Make an argument but no one is allowed to respond to the idiocy you generate. A subscriber of the Fox News strategy complemented with feeble retorts.

    Thank goodness America is going down the shithole. With people like you, it is a well deserved fate.

    You took the correct approach in not responding. Such an exposure of your flawed, dimwitted argument should put you to shame.

    Do not attempt to be a smart-ass when you are not equipped for the task.

    Good day Jester.

  • Hey CorbenikTheharbinger, is your name related to some form of INBRED royalty?

    Why don't you move along? You are once again WHINING!!! I made my case 3 posts ago, but still you do not get it, You have worked yourself into a meaningless frenzy that is going to get you nowhere in life.

    Relax, have your mommy get you some warm milk and take your lithium ok.

    I apologize that I am not up to your royal standard, but am humbled that you pay me soo much attention! What an honor! lol!

  • Yet we have you responding with two posts... Perhaps you should take your own advice. How simple a person you are.

    You attack my responses calling them frenzies because they overwhelm and discredit you. I am very much OK with your attacks. They bring laughter. I cannot be troll-baited into anger.

    I pity the limited intellect you possess as employ so much effort in an attempt to anger me. Poorly thought out.

    A 40 year-old trolling. How terribly sad... I bestow my pity on you.

    Regards,

  • Temper temper,

    Stil cannot move along?

    I am flattered! You make it your priority to pay me soo much attention, and you do it with much conviction I might add!

    I am sorry you think I am overwhelmed by your frenzic nature, but really, I am calm and serene, because I know that you really, really, reallllyyyy wanna be my friend dontcha!

    Did you drink the warm milk and take your lithium? Maybe you need to up the dose abit?

    Move along now pup, move along...

  • Here you are replying again... yet attacking me for doing the same. Hypocrisy at its finest. No doubt you'll launch into another attack in response to this. The predictable simian. Maybe when you reach 50-60 years old you'll have enough intelligence to actually contribute something to the original topic of this message board.

     ^_^

  • You must really wanna be friends soo much! I love it that you insist on pointing out my age! Yes , I am a 40 year old fuck, but as they say, 40 is the new 30.

    as for contributing, re-read my first post. It was personalized just for you!!! Its a universal fit for any future comments you make also!

    I see that you still cannot move alongm, so, I will c lock it for ya k?

    MOVE ALONG NOW, MOVE ALONG. LOL.

    I can't wait to hear more insults from you! Its soo nice to know you care!

  • I just couldn't help myself sweet tits, I noticed in your post you started with "Yet we" .

    It all makes sense now, You cant MOVE ALONG because you have a split personality! Neither one knows what the other does I suppose?

    Oh me oh my, what a tormented life you must lead? No wonder you lash out at me.

    You must be so confused. I sincerely hope you were not dropped on your head as a child? a little fluid on the brain maybe?

    If there is anything I can do please, just let me know!!!

  • *yawn*

  • I see you drank some warm milk and took your medication. Glad to see this. You are on the right track.

  • Trolling 101.

  • BTW, the yawn signified boredom. It seems I must simplify everything for you.

  • I don't know what you are talking aboot. Who says you must? go have a molson eh?

  • Furthermore, kindly explain how his attack on the President's image is something I failed to process. Not only did he make the initial comment, how can you assert that said initial statement opposes the point I am trying to make?

    Should your comment be be a mockery of myself, I am not laid off but what more than foolish postulations can we expect from someone such as yourself who seems to have misguided reasons for his response to what I wrote. What use are you to society because it eludes me?

  • "Cenk" person... you sound like Elmer Fudd.

  • pulsar00815, we got here because of Bush. Now go stew in your brew of irationality.

  • ur so racist and ts sad. theres no difference in sex or race what happen to judging people by their content of character? it just shows how ignorant your are. black ppl made the traffic lights, gas masks, the chrysler 300 model, tuskgee airmen elite group of fighters for WW2, and now the president united states. they contribute for america much as whites and others. we all americans and using the first amendent shut the fuck up bigot pig!

  • ridiculous! women were put here to cook my dinner and service my cock and black people were put here to drive miss daisy around

  • Man, what a loser, dont forget he is the same guy that apologized to Rush Limbaugh, RUSH! come on, you apologize to that guy and everyone knows you are a joke.

  • Latest News: Obama has reached out to Steele and offered him a job licking the dirt of the floor from Oval Office.

  • hahahahaha!

  • Let's keep it real....Steele had a point....he's head of the RNC....for whatever it's worth, it's not a bad position!! Steele is a clown, but not this time! FYI....I didn't watch the rest of the clip, so I might have to take it back!! LOL

  • Steele was basically appointed this position by under 200 votes to be the new "black face" for the GOP. Bobby Jindal is the same, these guys should be kissing Obama's feet for breaking that glass ceiling for them. Compare that to Obama campaigning for 2 years and receiving over 67 million votes nationally. That's the disparity.

  • HabitualNightOwl,

    I would not call that breaking the glass ceiling for them. Steele and Jindal are token figures. They were installed in an attempt by the GOP to collect votes of minorities, which they are now realizing counts for something.

    Steele is a joke nonetheless as they selected a fool to be their public face and it suggests they(GOP) think minorities are stupid enough to vote for them on account of the token roles the GOP has assigned them.

    Nothing changes...The end is the same.

  • True.

  • Steele is purely a media whore.

  • i feel bad for him- how is he still around?

  • He's the token black guy of the republican party.

  • He has no power in the GOP, he is strictly there to have a black guy to go against Obama on TV. They chose poorly.

  • Cmon Cenk you really think Obama is better than any other dirty ass politician? Seriously? You're not very perceptive if this is truly the case.

  • haha, ye, funny...

    seriously?

    Being against every politician 'cause you just don't understand anything is pretty easy man

    of course Obama is WAY better then the regular republican politician with sand for a brain

  • I'm not against every politician I'm against mainstream bs candidates. But go ahead and believe everything the associated press tells you to believe.

  • Well for example, Obama is better than Chesney and Bush.

  • this seems like pseudo news to me...and i think cenk being infantile all the time is just a red herring. He needs to come up with good arguments against the people he disagrees with not just get the viewer on his side with some cheap remark. He's not much different than the fox news reporters that use the viewers emotions to get them on their side.
