Lieberman Pushes For War - Media Doesn't Challenge Him On It

[MyceliaProductions42]

Is anyone really surprised that Wolf Blitzer doesn't question Lieberman's comments? He has ALWAYS had a hard-on to destroy Iran to protect mother Israel.

[sciencemunk]

joe liberman is a war mongre. at least you know that much

[studentpilotfrg1]

the ADL, AIPAC, AJC as well as a majority of Jewish Leadership supports American military involvement in mid east, and further invovlement with Iran.

Geopolitical Strategy >> let them fight each other, and bleed to death. A weak mid east is for our national security, and most importantly, for the long term security of Israel.

So now I hope people will realize, Why do they hate us?

[bluehorse888]

is it just me or does he sound like zoidberg

[Suzaku000]

@bluehorse888

Nah... Zoidberg has a Russian Jew accent, and has a slightly higher pitch.

Zoidberg for President 2016!

[zrac09]

you can just taste the blood in their mouths...they are so desperate to invade and slaughter iranians. the lust for war, like the war with iraq, needs no logical reasons. kill everything. get the oil. i am ashamed of this push for war (but we cant afford single payer healthcare) how many countries, including our own, will these corporate shills destroy? trillions of dollars for war, but we cant help our own people and fix our broken society.thats too expensive. this is shameful.

[conquerorofbabylon]

Truth to power, my man.

[jawadad802]

hey senator Geubellman didn't you found Saddam in the eighties and kill 100.000's of iranians?? haha proxi-wars is the 1 issue America should avoid in any debate...

haha Cenk, calm down we need you this isn't the moment to get a stroke buddy....

[vladimir4055]

That is right Man they are liers!

[trycoun]

1)noone sends al-queada-fighters anywhere.

they don't exist. that's where the lie begins.

2)the only responsible for u.s.americans getting killed is the u.s.goverment AND congress. get out and apologize. rebuild.

oh, and millions iraquis died, btw. - but never mind. they're no humanbeings, right?

[mcalien24]

great rant

[firstonesonme]

The greatest concern for all westerners is that Lieberman serves Israel first America second. Thats why he is trying to push the U.S. away from diplomacy which is what the majority of Iranians want and into war which is what his Israeli masters want. Watch USS Liberty vid the first joint U.S. Israel strike against America. 911 was the second...

[firstonesonme]

LIEBERMAN Israels number 1 in America would close the Internet completely if he could.I have friends serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan, who would never support this warmongering ass wipe.

[TavishHill]

It's interesting to note a point Chomsky has made on Iran's training of insurgents in Iraq. When it was the US in northern Afghanistan who were training, funding, and equipping Islamic militants to fight a superpower that was diectly threatening the existence of Afghanistan, it's seen as a heroic act on the part of the US. Yet when Iran does the exact same thing in Iraq today as the US openly threatens it with "obliteration", then it's "evil"?

[AKDEPOT]

Getting off point but should be a concern.

Mr Lieberman is now having videos removed from google services and youtube. 80 just recently.

I just watched him talk about it on fox.

[a5356904]

this news guy is an actual idiot....lol. i feel sorry for him

[laura835]

And who elected Liberman?

[g3nuwine]

LIEberman!!

[BoniusRx]

"....go take your bullshit, wrap it up and put it back up your ass!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...whew... good one

[dmanway]

The weapons are made in Russia. So maybe we should invade Russia too.

mmmmmmmmmm!!!!

[MojoJuana]

scumbag warmongers wanna get their blood stained paws on iran's oil so they can jack it up so we all could pay for $10 gas!

[kathicII]

Sorry, you are wrong. There are weapons in Iraq that were made in Iran. While I agree that we shouldn't invade Iran, they do supply their Shia allies.

[beteck123]

Can The Bush Administration also wage war against USA,as there is documented evidence that USA does supply weapons to thesame ppeople,That the USA funded and trained Al-quaeda,etc?

[blacksmith8844]

yes, and the Saudis Support the Sunnis and the Syria and Libya also have influence in the region (just as he said), so why is it that they're so eager to focus on Iran only?

[MonsterSound]

"The US, which until two weeks ago had never provided any proof for its allegations, finally handed over its "evidence"..."A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran... When U.S. explosives experts went to investigate, they discovered they were not Iranian after all."

[DillonX]

Why have we allowed a Representative of Israel to serve in OUR US Senate?

[rh7onda7]

Good for you Cenk!

Passionate and true!

love you! :)

[RayBoylan]

I owe you an apology - I had no idea you were on that train wreck Air America when I mentioned it. That has to hurt - maybe you can follow Al Franken into federal prison for tax evasion. Those guests on your website - you bio them - when did they appear with you? Or was that just some resume pumping? i LIVE IN LA AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR FACILITY ON WILSHIRE - WHEN ARE THE TOURS?

[RayBoylan]

Listened to the clip - No where does he say attacking Iran is a good idea. He said he would hope we don't get to the point that we have to move against the Iranians. He did say that the option should be left on the table. What do you find wrong with that? Military leaders are lying - you know that how?

Do you have a real job? Or do you just carry MSNBC's water. Blitzer is not a journalist? But Olberman is?

[akfak0retlaw]

lol, there is a vote for McCain Ad on next to this video.

[DillonX]

Why do we have a representative of the Israel government SITTING IN OUR SENATE?

[MajorHart]

Hi - I don't know who specifically you are referring to but we have a bunch of Israel's agent in our congress and media. We will never own our own country until we get them out of those places.

The ones that are assimulating into American society will have to put america first and fight against the influence of any outsiders.

Thanks for your posts. MajorHart

[eqhammerkeg]

Thank God for those in journalism outside, in the periphery, of the mainstream.

T R U T H:

1) Invading Iraq - Based on Lies

2) Bombing Iran (McCain's election) - Based on Lies

[sanjosethornton]

god joe lieberman sounds like a whining itiot: "Uh, I-I-I think that uh we should go attack iran cuz uh-uh- iran is uh hurting people and uh- uh that is not good- cuz uh-uh, americans can do uh- no wrong."

Hey f-ck face lieberman! Why don't you try to speak a sentence without stuttering like a whining b-tch for a change? It's not that hard.

[Boomer1949]

Because of sites like youtube the msm is becoming a smaller and smaller influence on the people of the world. The lower intelligence that rely on TV news, by and large don't vote. I did a random survey at work and discovered this for myself. Those who voted were connected to the internet and had a much clearer understanding of world events.

[lilevo84]

lol funny as hell cenk!!

[snaed27]

so who does this guy support ??? he seems to slam everyone ....

[patsagainstrats]

Fatty is clearly a stealth Muslim. He probably takes a couple a trips a year back to his homeland of Turkey to kill Kurds and rape their women.

[moosa86]

thanks for showing us just how bigotted you are!

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

LIEberman has no evidence. Just like Iraq all over again.

[crazyjay1977]

If John McCain wins the presidency, watch him make his friend and close confidant Jewish Joe Leiberman his Sec. of State. It's frightening to even think about.

[FaaarLeft]

The 'Media Doesn't Challenge Him On It'? what about you? No war for Israel!!!!!!!!

[timg455]

He wasn't the one giving the interview.

[FaaarLeft]

jmjmu

[daderone]

funny b/c the majority of Americans have died at the hands of the Sunnis which are funded and supported by Saudi Arabia..just like Hamas.

[moosa86]

Thank you for finally talking about this. (both j.lieberman and w.blitzer are agents of the israeli government) You'll never see them speak on behalf of the American people

[sonisisuper]

A little harsh on Blitzer, don't you think?

[gobee53]

Kill. Kill.. KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL(urp) Sorry I went all Republican for a second. I better see a doctor.I fell on Ann Coulter and screwed her by accident. She gave me a disease. Oh Lord here it comes again. Oil.Oil...OILOILOILOILOILOILOI­LILOVEBUSH. Jesus somebody shoot me!

[kmardes]

lieberman needs to be hung and shot, what a traitor and israeli agent. and i'm just a plain white american. even IF iranians are killing americans in iraq, so what? are the american occupiers there complete fair game? they shouldn't be there in the first place. fat americans need to consciously cut back on gas consumption.

[Cuddlynutbear]

You are 100% right. Guaranteed they will try to start a war before the Next presidency.

[pwg357]

Fuck lieberman.

He should have his head sawed off and stuck on a pole for his trumpeting for war with Iran.

Fucking traitor. makes me sick.

[forex01]

there you go rip them a new asshole.

[HrvRoy]

I agree 100%, disagree 0%... Thank you TYT

[SoyJames]

Get em Cenk!!!!  Hulk it OUT!!!

[colomboBE]

The mainstream journalists are payed to play stupid.

[eekdog2005]

Great point, also they can't prove Iran is killing american troops. they just want more war profits, oil profits. The media isn't doing their damn job! 5*

[someperson111]

Turk tore into Lieberball's ass, HA!

[1941citizenkane]

If media won't call him out on it his B.S. the The Young Turks will. The unethicial polticans and crooked businessmen are on official notice TYT is looking right over your shoulder ready to call you out.

[jasonlajoie]

When Saddam and Iran started selling their oil for Euros the war plans began being drafted by the U.S.. Since Iraq has been toppled and the flow of oil is now back to being exchanged for dollars, only Iran remains to have their oil exchange 'corrected'. This is what it's all about; oil and exchange 'correction' of a couple of rouge nations that decided to stand up to the U.S. and hurt them the only way they knew how - by making the Euro a new petrol currency.

[cindiloohoo]

"When Saddam and Iran started selling their oil for Euros the war plans began being drafted by the U.S."

You nailed it.

[xDiFFERENCEx]

Pat and Joe are both jokes.

[SohailAC]

Why haven't the Dems cut LIEberman from the Party yet?

[unwashablebrain]

because he's an independent, something the republicans at fox are always trying to lie about...and they keep getting caught labeling him as a democrat. he's an independent in the back pocket of the republicans...ever notice he sounds just like droopy the dog?

[GretchenDawntreader]

classic. Go Cenk go!

[pwg357]

well the host hits the nail RIGHT on the head this time. THIS IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S FAULT. the idiot's like blitzer are on tv just because they are idiot. that is how and why they got hired for they're job of distracting us.

[aeolismensae]

awesome!

[plasticrev24]

Straight-Sh*it Express + Joementum '08 - what a joke. Someone please tell me how this guy still his the democratic chairman position?????

[cerealboxconspiracy]

thank god SOMEONE is saying this.

[DillonX]

Liberman is an Israeli Representative sent in our Senate.

As long as we're killing Muslims, Liberman is delighted.

Liberman is a bigot & liar & scumbag!

[chunksloth]

A Jew wants the US to fight middle eastern countries?!?!?!?!

You could knock me down with a feather!

[blackbart99]

GOD DAMN LIARS IS FUCKING RIGHT.

[scj16]

THANKS! I was wondering if I was the only person in America "Bitter" and pissed off at our fucked up Govt. that tells lies that kill MY SOLDIERS!

[jotunobsidianeyes]

Damn, that's a good rant.

[robert48461]

Do you think it's an accident that the networks keep hiring these morons? If the networks didn't LIKE the job these morons were doing, they would be fired. The networks hire these morons to make us ignorant sheep quietly being led to the slaughter. To assure us of our safety and keep us calm so we don't ask questions. Why? Because the networks are owned by the same people who are destroying our country and pushing for a New World Order, One World Government.

[jotunobsidianeyes]

robert48461: No, one corporation.

[Encyclopeteia]

Great rant Cenk.

[robert48461]

Your message is informative and necessary to educate Americans who don't understand what's going on with our government, your anger is understandable because our government has deliberately destroyed our freedoms, but taking the Lord's name in vain to make your point is completely repulsive and offensive. Where do you think you get your freedoms from?? All good things come from the Lord above...

[the07tour]

That's right YTY, get pissed damit

[chiwiliger]

American people are some of the most wonderful in the world. Their leaders and their media is what is wrong.

[357dinko]

Why do our so-called leaders have such a fucking hard-on for war? Our troops are being killed because Bush LIED to the world to get us into Iraq, all in the name of PROFIT. Now these assholes are no doubt, going to invade Iran on some more fabricated bullshit so they can continue trying to monopolize Middle East oil. Are my fellow Americans too daft to see through this CHARADE?

[FattKidd]

FUCK YEAH, CENK!

[medliberty]

Its not that Blitzer, et al, are stupid. Its that their bosses are the corporations who stand to profit mightly from perpetual war. Neither Blitzer nor any of his counterparts would dare cross examine their guests. The average guy on the street would be asking such questions but he is not in the employ of GE, etc.

[nugen966]

I am all for both parties coming together to get things in america better but based upon the last eight years, the same rhetoric being spouted now, I cannot trust a thing that comes out a republican's mouth. I am repulsed everytime I hear a republican speak, or one in the media who supports republicans. I hope a republican comes out and restores my faith in americans as a whole. I know democrats are not innocent but damn. How stupid do republicans think people are. Very stupid evidently.

[Xaltotyn]

i love the Angry Turks show... but i think you should do some more interviews and some of your clips could be longer... also provide more links to other sources?

Anyway... congrats to Angry Turks... it's one of my favourite sources for political commentary.

[Xaltotyn]

haha great stuff... and totally 100 p.c. agree with you.

The media has been complicit with republican lies for far too long.

[vertigate]

LMAO great rant. Why don't you invite Libby on your show?

[shayeeX]

Wow...Cenk i've never seen you worked up like this before. But you're right...these TV guys need to grow some balls and ask the right questions.

[proteanview]

Zionist-American traitor/terrorists Richard Perle & Douglas Feith wrote, 'A Clean Break' in 1996, in Israel, for Netanyahu. It called for the removal of Iraqi, Iranian & Syrian 'regimes'. Americans are paying for, killing for and dying for Israel's 'A Clean Break'. Americans are risking their lives to shore-up the Mosul-Haifa pipeline which will give recently privatized (by non-Iraqis) oil (Order 39) to Israel. Being anti-Danish isn't anti-Lutheran, being anti-Israel isn't anti-Jewish.

[unluvable]

What did Al Gore see in Trader Joe to make him think he'd be a good VP? Where did Lieberman go south? Why did he make such a 180?

If Gore had won in 2000, would Trader Joe now be winning, heading towards a slam dunk in November?

[michaelrobert1974]

It's not that the media journalists are gutless or stupid. The media is controlled by the Illuminati. If that sounds like a conspiracy theory then just replace "Illuminati" with "Corporate Interests".

[iammasterlion]

Lieberman for President in 2008. Finally, he will put an end to the lying, selfish and greedy human race once and for all by nuking us all to kingdome come. Extinction of the human species now is the only campaign promise I want to hear and kept after election

[roozbehn]

no more american blood for safety of Israel. stop this war now.

[dna1987]

Blitzer and all these other media puppets have a Zionist agenda on the top of their minds. Blitzer was part of AIPAC, of course they are not going to question seriously against attacking Iran.

[zagross16]

LOVE THE END...LOVED IT...

[lestliness]

Cenk, you out did yourself on this one. Our corp media has an agenda and you're right. They hire people they can manipulate a steer like cattle.

[cursedsilly]

Wolf Blitzer use to work for AIPAC. The same group that lobbied regime change in Iraq in the 90s! They're propagandists by nature. No more proxy wars for Israel.

[Eye0fTheStorm]

Where the fuck was Liberman when America armed and funded Saddam and TOLD HIM to invade Iran which resulted in a brutally savage decade long war (all because America didn't like the DEMOCRATICALLY popular leader of Iran)

America has done nothing but bring grief, death and suffering to Iran over the last few decades. Add the fact that America invaded Iraq for one simple reason. To install a puppet regime and steal oil

Tell me again why the fuck Iran should care about American troops

[zagross16]

Exactly, you care about the American troops? pull them out, simple! but no, you want to send more to die fighting another illigal war.

[Eye0fTheStorm]

I want America out of Iraq not because of American lives, but because of Iraqi lives.

Both Iraqi life and American life is equally important.

America invaded to steal Iraq's oil by feeding the public a pack of lies

According to studies carried out by John's Hopkins University and the British Medical lancet, an estimated 1.1 MILLION(Iraqis have died compared to 4000 American troops

(1,100,000 greater than 4000)

Get the fuck out of Iraq. Save American and Iraqi lives.

[Erdles]

In the case of an American withdrawal, Iraq would fall under Iranian influence and become an extension of the Islamic Republic. It would thus become a cosy nest for Hezbollah and other anti-Israeli, Islamic extremist groups.

It's not a simple question of 'saving lives' - it's a question of whether you think the outlined scenario would be desirable.

[WyattHalliwell2009]

Well even if that happens who's fault is that? It's our fault for going in there in the first place, and really there is no good solution in Iraq, however us staying isn't making things better. Many of the Iraqi people want us GONE!! We have no right to be in there country anyway. Strength through peace, not peace through strength. You think going over there killing people is gonna create peace? Yeah right.

[Erdles]

Oh yeah, I totally agree we're at fault for going into Iraq. I was vehemently opposed to the invasion back then for this very reason, because we've never actually had an exit strategy... whether that was because of incompetence or because those who led us never actually intended to leave is the truly interesting question.

[Eye0fTheStorm]

So what if it becomes an "Islamic republic". It is almost 100% Islamic. Thats what democracy is. The country is led by who the people want.

People in that region don't need our help to do anything. They ruled Europe for nearly a thousand years and it is one of the most peaceful and progressive golden eras in Europe's bloody history.

What they need is for America to stop its never-ending deeply criminal bids to block economic and political progress in the Middle east because of selfish reasons

[Erdles]

When I said "an extension of the Islamic Republic" I was referring to the Islamic Republic of Iran (the official name), not to a system of government.

Regardless of criticisms of the Iranian regime (and a hypothetical carbon copy that would appear in Iraq) in regards to liberties & human rights, it's also the political stance said regime would take up which is particularly noteworthy - that it would fund & foster terrorism against Israel & the US.

Is that really in the US' interests?

[Eye0fTheStorm]

The crime Iran is guilty of is not allowing the US to privatize the countries resources and manipulate its politics.

Human rights dont matter one single iota to America (or Israel,China, Russia, Britain and any other powerful government) Almost every middle eastern country almost without exception is ruled by brutal dictators who were directly put into power or supported by the US. Saudi Royals, Musharaf, Mobarak, etc. All butchers supported by the US

Iran's crime is not bending over

[Erdles]

I can see what you're saying on the issue... actually sounds familiar as my father sees things in similar terms.

I hope you can see what I'm saying - that it isn't in America's interests to exit Iraq (whether those interests are legitimate or otherwise).

[djdarklyceum]

fire up cenk, i love it.

and it's truth.

[beansnrice321]

I know you can't do this all the time but good anger there man, keep em' comin'

[FeelFreeToArgue]

You're absolutely right - we need to get it out wide that BOTH of the administration's claims are completely bogus. No Iran fueled insurgency, no nuclear program - just US Neocons and their same old lies trying to get us into another war, either to help McCain win or so they can declare martial law.

[bammbamm12]

Can't listen to you guys. You're full of baloney. You're not reporters, you're propagandists. Do you know that?

[Randomambusher]

So do you actually have a rebuttal or are you just posted to thump your chest?

[bammbamm12]

Been there, done that. These guys have no credibility.

[Randomambusher]

Well, that's an interesting point... "If I made an argument, it'd be convincing". Huh. It's easy to be dismissive isn't it? I know it's hard to be substantive, but please try.

[bammbamm12]

I'm not trying to be substantive. I'm trying to save others a total waste of time.

[Fastillion]

*****

Great show. I don't want to see Lieberman as the McCain Vice President. I guess that would leave Bloomberg. Are they any loyal-American Republicans allowed in office to be VP? Hillary? She is pretty rightwing Neocon. Maybe she wants to be McCain VP

[Fastillion]

He is talking about bombing Syria. That will come up soon enough. He would bomb Lebanon.

[Fastillion]

Report today was: none of the captured weapons in Iraq were from Iran. That lie has been exposed. 'You need to stop!' "Stop what?" 'Providing training and weapons.' "We are not; so how do we stop?" 'You can't!' giggles the Zionist, 'So we will bomb you anyway. If that lie does not work, we can always make another.'

[Napstrpsx]

Cenk's going to turn his desk over if we get into a war with Iran over false pretenses, and I'll be cheering him on every minute.

The drum beat for conflict with Iran has seriously been almost non-stop for such a long time now, and it has not been properly silenced.

[DefineYourTerms3]

Right On Cenk, This one you have 5/5 no doubt. Eat their lunch on this one!!!

[hunterswine]

Thank you.

[itchyflea]

I don't think the media (not TYT!) and people like Blitzer really care about the truth, or challenging lies. They seem to care only about getting viewers and money.

[jaceves84]

the media is not after facts, they are only after ratings. its business as usual for them, and you are right on that is propaganda

[jaceves84]

man, i dont like lieberman at all! i never did. he is a closet neo-con.
