Dennis Kucinich on Hardball 02/26/09

[MrDarkbloom]

"Thank you for your service"?? Thank you for your service???? No, I say to that guy on there... fuck you, not thank you, you dirty, cynical, lying bastard. Liberation???? LIBERATION??? You have NO respect for human life and people who died as a result of your fucking service. Service to WHO???? Eh? Servive to who? You committed crimes and helped murder and oppress people and now your saying you liberated them??? Fuck you.

[streetballer6699]

@MrDarkbloom Love this! Keep it up. "Anger is a gift." -Malcolm X. Keep railing. We're with you

[phillisthebarbarian]

Dennis! Move to California and RUN for President!!!

[202pdiddy]

The Iraq invasion made the Middle East "more stable"? The invasion helped Hamas get elected by the Palestinians, it empowered Iran, and it helped intensify and spread anti-U.S. feeling among Muslims worldwide. If Saddam Hussein were still in power right now, he'd be a story on page 4 of the newspaper. Let's not forget that the invasion of Iraq cost hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of civilian lives also.

[t2491tom]

i appreciate the input from the military industrial complex

[atrickpay11]

Matthews is a shill. Who cares about Hunter Jr.'s "service". It was a criminal war.

[yotaxi]

@atrickpay11

He sounds like the Manchurian candidate

[HateThisName]

Good thing Chuncan Jr. has his daddy. Wouldn't have won his district, otherwise.

[tlh215]

Remember Kucinich in 2012. I voted for him in the 08 primaries. Anyone could have. He was on YouTube, people could have looked him up like any other candidate, and I think he's the man who should be in the White House right now.

[MzProgressive]

I AGREE! I voted for him even though he dropped out of the race - most people don't realize, whether a candidate drops out or not, if you vote for him (even by a write-in) BY LAW, that vote must be COUNTED.

Next primary IGNORE THE PARTY SQUEEZE-OUT Tactics - Vote your First Choice!

[HateThisName]

Paul/Kucinich in '12

[SgtTravisBickle]

How come everybody who debates against Kucinich & Dr. Paul seems like they're obviously reading off of a teleprompter? They simply can't speak from the heart like these two men.

[voteDRNO]

Iraq was the check and Balance for Iran.

It is now unstable

[Snoopies622]

If the plan is to reduce the troop level but then increase it again once events in Iraq move in a direction that happens to be inconsistent with the intention of the original invasion, we'll never be out of there.

[flimpkin4]

Kucinich is one of only a handful of politicians in Washington who's worthy of respect.

[noxidereus]

agreed

[tlh215]

RE: "Kucinich is one of only a handful of politicians in Washington who's worthy of respect."

Ten thousand Amens to that.

[purplekoke]

Duncan Hunter is a liar, manipulator and takes it in the butt by GW. Bush. Check out the Obama Deception by Alex Jones. Obama is the frontman of the Oligarchy. Don't believe me? Then go up to the search box right now here on Youtube and type in the Obama Deception. Do it. Watch for yourself. Become a 9/11 truther as well. You want to keep your country? Keep talking about 9/11 truth. Tell everybody. And yes, it was an inside job.

[irelephant]

People are flat out too chicken shit to get out to their comfort zones. Everyone who wants to know the truth has seen Loose Change by now. If the people who still support the "official conspiracy theory" had any personal integrity, true patriotism, or even intellectual curiosity, they would go read a book by David Ray Griffin, or watch a video like 911 Mysteries, or go to a website like patriotsquestion911dotcom. But the sheeple won't because then they would have to do something about it.

[flimpkin4]

Enough already with the 9-11 lunacy. Saudi extremists crashed 4 planes that day, killing as many people as die every 15 mins. from preventable diseases. The CIA & Mossad knew what the extremists were up to; they're covering this up by spinning lunatic theories through people like you.

[lestliness]

This fuck job still telling us that Saddam was about to kill americans... why do you people still put up with this?

[Thrice13]

Ahahaha!!! Liberation, good one dude...

Look at Kucinich's face when he says liberation, good stuff!

[Htown75]

It's not GOP or Domcrats....it's the MIlitary Industrial Complex that loves WAR!!!

[bijan84]

Reminder: March 21st protest the war in a city near you.

[bijan84]

Liberation! LOL

I thought even the right wings gave up on that term to describe the war.

[chadpopstar]

President Obama, withdraw ALL the troops! We don't want more of our family members blown up by bombs. Thank you, from the American people

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

We liberated hundreds of thousands of Iraqis... of their mortal coils.

WTF? Iraq is a no-win situation and the Bush family (and cohorts) like it that way.

[john1230]

Obama may end the war in Iraq (within 3 years...), but he keeps the war going on in Pakistan, Afghanistan etc.

It's a liar.

It's like a magician. Just keep your eyes on Iraq.

Nothing to see over there.

[danielstwin]

god damn liar mother fucker it is nation building.... rip his fucking tongue out

[QbanNewWave]

liberation? i cant' believe these republicans buy that shit! wow. how stupid can you be? how ignorant can you be about foreign policy?

[goodinohio]

We will be in Iraq for the rest of our lives.

Ron Paul was the only one who would have ended all the empire building.

[nowellian]

I supported Kucinich in the primaries and then Nader in the general election.

After all Obama did run on escalating the war in Afghanistan!

He is just keeping his campaign promise.

[six25]

Kucinich is the man! Call your local congressman and tell him/her to co-sponsor HR 676 (Universal Not-for-profit Healthcare). Kucinich was the first to get behind that bill and now 93 members of congress are behind it too.

[milidude]

kucinich is excellent and intelligent as usual the other 2= blah blah blah.

[choosenow]

Both Duncan Hunter Sr. and Jr. are poster boys for the military-industrial complex. They're parroting neo-con talking points.

But I can say at least they served their country, not like some other neo-cons.

[msiclife20]

lol.. the first steps to ending the war? lol what??

[TomStrong08]

Hunter's talking points are soooo 2004.

[nohealthcare62]

KUCINICH2012********That's the TICKET !The Bravest Man in America !

[godlesspatriot]

1,000,000 Dead in Iraq ≠ Liberation.

[queerbuzz]

Duncan Hunter Jr is drinking the kool aid

[PVJared]

"Duncan Hunter Jr is drinking the kool aid "

Agree, his did is even worse. Ron Paul would've been the best man for the Republican Party. Kucinich wanted Ron Paul as his VP running mate.

What do you think about that?

[svthai]

Hunter is a brain wahsed coolaid drinker

[irelephant]

We did liberate 2 million Iraqis. They are dead now. The ultra violence we instigated also motivated an additional 4 million to leave Iraq, so they have been freed also. By removing the Sunni Baathists, we have empowered the ultra-religious Shiite clerics to begin imposing conservative Islamic rules upon Iraqi women. Another benefit of Shiite rule will be greater hegemony for Iranian Shiite clerics in the region. Duncan Hunter should include these facts in his talking points.

[bgfrugal]

Duncan Hunter sounds fascist

[Constantine1222]

Everyon, click on 2:46 and repeat.

[Constantine1222]

everyone*

[PVJared]

Dennis Kucinich should've been our President and Ron Paul would've been his Vice President.

[nataher123]

other way around in my opinion...but hey....they are both great

[PVJared]

"other way around in my opinion...but hey....they are both great"

How do we address Congress and the Senate to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible? Should I write to my congressman and senator?

[GordonWalton]

I wonder if we were occupied by a foriegn power if this neocon would call it a "liberation". War is a racket.

[jazzeffc]

kucinich =)

[gbittner]

Dennis we love you!

[scottreynolds74]

the middle east is more stable now???? wtf?!? Is this guy on crack?

[Rockguitarnow]

Dennis is right :)

[Emceeh123]

Duncan Hunter is a fucking numskull

[nowellian]

Capitalism is failing! We have always used war and international expansion (imperialism) to keep capitalism going. The house of cards has fallen. They are just building another one, it will fall as well.

[Brandt761]

Nor all free-market societies depend on war...

[nowellian]

Brandt761, who did you have in mind. Any of the neutral counties i can think of are mixed economies. True democracy ultimately leads to socialism. Or at least a very heavily regulated market with a great deal of socialist policies redistributing wealth from capitalists to workers.

Anyway our economy is now nothing but a collapsed house of cards. Rebuilding the house of cards will ultimately fail again.

[Brandt761]

I should probably have said capitalism instead of free market. Here in Germany, where the markets are about 40% (!) controlled, we are still.

We have supply and demand, entrepreneurism, and all that stuff.

What we lack is the unfettered laissez faire approach, which, frankly, carries the seeds of its own destruction through cartels.

[TomStrong08]

Why are you talking about Germany's economy under a video about Iraq?

[Brandt761]

ummm...discussion about capitalism.

[ejbh3160]

"Despotic dictator over there.. and the world is safer"...

What.. that dictator who killed tens of thousands of Kurds?

So America goes over there and kills over a MILLION men women & children.. & suddenly its a 'Liberation' eh?

And WHO exactly put Saddam there in the first place? And who sold him the weapons to kill the Kurds.. & who was it that said they thought America's 'interests' justified the starving to death of over a million Iraqi children in an oil for food programme?

Etc etc etc...

[buckfush12]

It's easy to look at the television and see what we want, not so easy to look in the mirror and see whats really there.

This one made me cry.

[buckfush12]

/watch?v=YXNt29GUhVk

What about these families? PS you can see the unedited version (fuck youtube very much for that) of Deek's brilliant art at other sites where art is not fucked in the ass with a dildo. "I would like to hear our leaders talk with pictures of dead babies behind them 10 feet tall."

[MrAnus]

"We've made the middle east more stable and we've made America safer." -

Duncan Hunter Jr.

WOW! How far up one's ass can one be?

[buckfush12]

What if there was a country liberating us from Bush or Obama? Would we greet them with open arms? It just seems weird to me that some people think it is a liberation. Additionally, I some what relate what they say about our wars to what they say about the economy. Did the stimulus packages work? Seems to me we keep spiraling down.

[tburke64]

Isreali governmant have wreaked more on humanity than Sadaam ever did. Oops! Was that my outloud voice?

[oz22verizon]

he not ending the war hes moving it over to afghanistan, pakistan, and iran!

[rell127]

Im Curious In North Korea isn't he a worse person. Doesn't he have nukes and killed way more people.

[GermaineIlya]

he has no oil

[rell127]

It's funny we had an Oil problem but yet we invade a country full of it and what happends?? Prices seem to go up.

[snappa52]

This economic crisis is a manufactured event, meant to destroy the economies of the middle east and in turn the United States economy because they are so wrapped up in each other. The refiners were refining oil at a loss during the times of fat prices. Now that big oil has decided to lower the prices, refiners are raising their own prices. We have the Bakken field out west and the north slope of alaska that has more oil than anywhere in the middle east. the oil companies are sitting on it

[WarDogLRS]

WARFARE OR WELFARE the bankers make there money off fools like you all here posting

You people dont get it this is an Illegal war we are the Aggressors we are the terrorist. And Hunter he's just lap dog for the future Neo Cons

This war has killed the America spirit and the American people do nothing about it. They dont get it? they cant see the past when they dropped 2 ATOM BOMBS on innocent people

They dont understand that there used in the most immoral way the Federal Reserve Banks

[AnitaMarieStewart]

This is nothing more than a reduction of troops, not a withdrawal. A withdrawal signified ALL troops leaving, a reduction is when the numbers present are reduced. I love to call the media on how they manipulate and twist words...

[modelfan1979]

I like you Kucinich, I think you are very smart and a good speaker.

However, I disagree with you on this. As much as I want the troops home as well, if we were to abruptly withdraw all of our troops Iraq will go into a civil war, hundreds of thousands, if not millions will die.

We need to gradually reduce the number of troops, in line with conditions on the ground.

[WarDogLRS]

really? Give me a break. READ YOUR CONSTITUTION we never had the Authority

[Scoppertop]

Baloney... the only thing that would happen when we leave is that the Iraqis will finally regain control of their own oil.

[byan213]

Dennis is brilliant, too bad the majority listens to channel 0.

Have fun arguing about interpretations of the bs mainstream tv news.

[seasonmyduck]

"Liberation." That gave me a laugh.

[matrixxx123456789]

Obamas War Machine Needs $800 Billion For 2009

Obamas Stimulus Bill is a Banker Contrived Debt Scam

Obama administration defends telecom immunity

The Good News... Majority Of U.S. States Join Sovereignty Movement, Assert 10th Amendment Rights

[baronmorris]

have you read Obama's books?

just curious.

[3dbeing]

liberation not occupation, right because nothing makes me feel more liberated than 50,000 troops in my town... that's what I call liberty!!!

That's not even spin, that is basically saying, " I know people are dumb, so I'll call it whatever I want "

[Ishoozedotcom]

KUCINICH, what's happening in Iraq is NOT a "service to our country." Bring all our phucking troops home; something Obama does not want to do.

[PVJared]

Write to your congressman, and tell him/her that we need to cut off the funds, cut off from our private sectors such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin because they're part of the Military Industrial Complex.

We don't need to stay any longer.

[vktrsx]

I'm sick & tired of the "thank you for your service" mantra. Joining the military is not an act of charity; those personnel are paid (setting aside my own opposition to wage labor for the moment). We don't thank our doctors for their "service to the country," although they provide a more beneficial one (saving lives as opposed to taking them). Troop-worship perpetuates the mindset that enables imperialist aggression.

[Ishoozedotcom]

me too.

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

Denny People are waking up to you.

Has Denny Ever called Obama out for increasing the Military budget? -- NO

Has Denny Said anything about us Bombing Pakistan with Drones since Obama has been if Office? NO

Has Denny Said anything to Obama about increasing troops in Afghanistan? NO

...

..

Please show us anywhere -- One time Denny K has called Obama out on Nation Building.

Here again he praises Obama for taking the right steps

Out of Iraq and Into Afghanistan is not the right step Denny!!!

[EchelonMonitor]

Dennis knows it, and Obama knows it, but the defense establishment owns them.

Gotta keep those weapons flowing, and defense contractors rich.

Meanwhile, the change is that death notices will say "Killed in action in Afghanistan" instead of "Killed in action in Iraq."

There is absolutely no benefit to the people of the US or the people of Afghanistan of having our troops in Afghanistan.

As usual, the establishment gets fat while the people suffer.

[PVJared]

He tries to have as much faith as possible. However he doesn't attack him hard enough.

[burningice17]

This kind of policy makes me glad I voted for Nader.

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

Any American should sleep well at night knowing they voted for Nader Or Ron Paul, Baldwin or Barr and never gave up their voice for peace.

CNN reports today - 2/26/09

63% of Americans are supportive of More troops for Afghanistan

tinyurl(dot)com/ao75yd

All you can say at this point is what the Hell is wrong with people - Now the Democrats are supporting endless wars? More Change?

Go figure - they ran in 2006, "18 months and we'll be out " Well where are we now?

CampaignForLiberty(dot)com

[judoka1]

Same here. Somehow it was clear that the Dems were falling into the Neo Cons trap if not partnering with them! Obama is a tanned W!

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

judoka1

I'm not the only one smiling reading your comments

Keep Speaking the truth!

[judoka1]

Patriot! It's your world, this illegal alien is just trying to hitch a ride!

Out of all people I thought Dennis would be different from the rest of the Dems....I Still have faith in Dr. Paul though.

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

:D!

[jtilak]

"liberation" lol what an asshole

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

2/26/09

Congress is talking about adding 160,000 to 200,000 troops in Afghanistan

tinyurl(dot)com/ct6gys

Denny,

You have FAILED to call Obama out on Increasing military Spending over W as he is asking for $200 Billion this year. You have FAILED to call him out on Bombing Pakistan and you have FAILED to educate the Public about Increasing Troops in Afghanistan which could be up to 200,000 more troops. Your failure to call out Obama is shameful! WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

2/26/09

Obama calls for $200 Billion to fight wars with No timetables

tinyurl(dot)com/badp3u

If you remember on June 26th 2008 our congress voted to give the Iraq/Afghanistan wars $162 billion for 16 more months (through October 2009)

tinyurl(dot)com/6ao3op

Obama has never once voted to not fund the wars and now that he is running the show he is increasing the Military over W. Amazing!

If you voted for this guy please tell me where the Change is?

[TheDemonataLeader]

Kind of boring, just them stating their opinions with little to no reason.
