Glenn Beck Penn Jillette on Ron Paul - YouTube.flv

[TrikkyMakk]

He meant to say he wants to go see the campaign but his employer won't let him go over there. Glenn Beck is a shyster,

[schlafanzyk]

That was fucking hilarious and Penn Jilette proves what an incredibly smart and well informed guy he is with his statement at 4:18 . I love when Glenn Beck talks to people who are not borderline insane and there are even some decent points coming up in this discussion.

[joefunsmith]

uploaded in Dec 2011, but many clues from the video that this was from the 2008 campaign season. e.g. Bob Barr, and the ticker talking about Rice (Condi).

[khanmar]

@joefunsmith it is from 2008. However Penn still advocates for Ron paul

[1776bricks]

I bet he thinks you're crazy if you don't believe in Islamic terrorists.

[CrabJock]

All I see is Ron Paul. It makes you feel optimistic about his chances. Even though I'm a believer in a rigged voting system, maybe a landslide will happen. I doubt it, but I'm gonna do my part and vote. He is our only shot at a revolution. America cannot handle another president that the fat cats dish out at us. If Ron Paul doesn't get his shot this time, it's fucking over.

[khanmar]

@CrabJock

I wont go as far to agree with you that the actual vote counting is rigged, but the rules to make it on the ballet or run an effective campaign sure are. The electoral commission or sorts is run by retired party chair's from both the repub and democrat party only...so thats how the rules are made. So really only one party or the other can win or even make it to the ballot. In the midst of even that sickening array of corruption the internal rules state by state are -cont

[khanmar]

@CrabJock

-cont- made so that only rich people can run ads and make it on primary ballots that spend millions, upon millions of dollars in each state...which is like a gateway to corruption in the system. I say this seeing as how each candidate never gets over 100,000 donors (HIGH estimate) that if the average American gives 20 bucks once, thats only 2 mil. Thats enough for maybe IOWA bare bone.- Cont

[khanmar]

@CrabJock

cont- prt 2

So really R.P is the first and only candidate in a long time not backed at all by big business special interests like Mitt, Rick, Rick (perry) or Newt are. The fact per quarter he gets 50k-175k people to give 40 bucks to add up to 2-7 mil is amazing. Sadly, his money needs time to add up, hence Romney's super pac's convincing Florida to move up the primary is going to hurt his campaign immensely. Now R.P must place 2-3rd in South carolina,a state that likes liars

[CrabJock]

@khanmar When I say rigged voting system, I pretty much mean any where down the line. But yeah I agree. The fact that RP has gotten this far shows a sign of life from voters and people who will desperately try anything new. But this is where, I hate to say it, my optimism runs out. And you pretty much explained why. The corporate hog helps the guy that will help them. It's a trade between two evils that's hard as hell to penetrate. Ron Paul and the people who back him are all we got.

[1776bricks]

@CrabJock hey, good point there, but the voting is rigged all the way down the line. I'm willing to bet everything that there are more people that support Ron Paul than voted for Obama. At least twice as many. The difference? Ron Paul is not in their pocket so he's not going to be allowed into the White House and I think he knows this. I think he's doing this so we can all be a witness to the fact that the government is now owned by a group and they decide who gets in.

[aquateenman3]

@CrabJock the message is in us and is growing. Theres also Rand Paul who will definatly be president next election. But thats if we make there...

[MyDadsRubberBroke]

There's two choices for America. Either it's RP or RIP.

[MrRightfootleftfoot]

@theeonionbagel merits of atheism?

[jjenningsoh]

Ron Paul or its over. 

[slrobins08]

Any and ALL americans who love this country need to boycott Beck and his sponsors, blow up his twitter account, the blaze twiiter acct and accts of his little sidekicks. Sadly, the Tea Party that was born in support of Ron Paul's 2008 campaign, was co-opted long ago and is now being led by the anti-american, constitution bashing, Israel pandering GLENN BECK. He should suffer some serious BLOWBACK for his treasonous actions. He is a traitor to this country, as are those who follow him.

[MrRightfootleftfoot]

@Khanmar I think some things do need to be changed. That's for sure. But to be honest I don't quite like the idea of a nation of private schools do to my strong belief in separation of church and state. Wouldn't this give religious institutions to great an edge and bar opportunity for parents to send there kids to local secular schools especially in the south.

[khanmar]

@MrRightfootleftfoot

What we have isnt working, It cannot and will not be fixed by the three branches. The same people who rule PIZZA is a veggie. Like I said I am all for state run schools, along with private schools provided they can actually compete. In a libertarian world, parents would have ALL the power over their kids education.The ONLY way it would give church schools a EDGE is if they provided a better education and parents moved their kids there, no more ZIP lock

[ColonPal]

@MrRightfootleftfoot -- Well, secular schools are the ONLY hope for America! I can only imagine the Nazi Dictatorship we would be living in if Faith-based organizations were responsible for educating our children!

It's always been scientific and secular organizations that bring us cures for disease and higher standards of living while all Faith-based organizations give us is GEORGE BU$H, the War in Iraq and Al Quaeda! I think it's a no-brainer!

[theeonionbagel]

@MrRightfootleftfoot dude states and towns in a ron paul society, ahem, in a constitutional society, can still form their own public schools. if some towns decided to teach religion more then other towns could teach what they think are the merits of atheism. people could move. it'd be fine. and people would have more money and would be more able to easily pay for the private schools of their choosing in the ideal ron paul america thatd have no inflation and income tax

[MrRightfootleftfoot]

I don't see the good in getting rid of public schools. Could someone explain the reasoning for it in a civil manor?

[khanmar]

@MrRightfootleftfoot

John stossel, Ron paul and milton friedman do a better job then I, but i'll give it a shot from my point of view. I dont want to get rid of public schools per-say, but the state or local county should decide to is taught, how their money is spent and there should not be federal funding. The department of education needs to be abolished. Also parents need the POWER to control the school by having the ability to place their kids in their choice of school.

[khanmar]

@MrRightfootleftfoot

Cont- This would let the free market choose what schools stay open based on performance rather than necessity. The school is there for the student, not the other way around. You could use vouchers or just set up private school accounts where you can literally view the money 15-25k per year & go online and register the kid to the school & use the routing number etc. to pay.Bottom line this system we have now sucks. There is no amending it, it has to go

[Eyedunno]

@MrRightfootleftfoot

I gotta say, I consider myself a libertarian, but this is one of the issues on which I am inconsistent in my libertarianism. I consider economic externalities to be a legitimate concern, and I do think compulsory education of children benefits all of us, not just the children. A purely free-market educational system, I fear, would mean fewer people getting better education. The federal government has no place in education though.

[lastpatriot4America]

Glenn you are a worm. Just come on over to the winning team. Ron Paul 2012.

And by the way Glenn. If I sdaw you on a bus, I would sit as far away from you as I could. Because you desturb me.

[CAridge2008]

This was 2008, when Ron Paul's crazy left-wing foreign policy flaws were less known. If Beck still wants Paul and a third party now, knowing that Paul blames America for all the evil in the world, praises Bradley Manning etc, then he's lost all credibility.

[khanmar]

@CAridge2008

I didnt post this for Beck's perspective, that dude is nuts and he switches sides weekly. I did this for Jillette, a well noted Libertarian. Ron paul's foreign policy may be in left standards NOW, but not if you look at what the republican party used to be and the false platform is pretends to run on now. Bradley Manning is a hero in the area of pure unadulterated patriotism. Also not by Libertarian and traditional conservative standards is ron paul left.

[PositivelyBored]

@khanmar

Interesting how Republicans became a warmonger party. True conservative platform is not aggressive and forceful with fp.

[deathofsmokey]

Ron Paul doesn't blame America for all the evil in the world, though. That's a really silly conclusion to jump to.

[inachu]

Polytheism is crazy nuts.

[poopmaster13]

*sigh* People who actually think Ron Paul has a chance, let alone that he would do this nation any good.....really ARE "nuts".

[khanmar]

@poopmaster13

coming from a guy named poopmaster, and seeing what we have had in office since nixon. Yes, any libertarian or traditional conservative would change this countries grim fate and that plain common sense is NOT crazy. Your sir are a victim of ignorance and Neo-Con propaganda...or your a Obama supporter.

[arka67]

@poopmaster13 we are very praud to be "nuts" as long as we over 50% !!

you, on the other hand, go kill some people in Pakistan or Jemen, that's what you good at!

[PissObamachrist]

DemoKKKrats are 100% nuts and Repubs are about 75% nuts and Ron Paul people are about 90% nuts. USA is done.

[khanmar]

@PissObamachrist

How are general republicans only 75% nuts and R.P people 90?% What about the Tea Party Movement? What about Traditional Conservatives or Neo Cons? What about Ron Paul himself? Who would you cite as a sane candidate? You are quick to give judgement, but offer no solutions or insight.

[dunkelfier]

@khanmar Well, if you want to compare which movement is more nuts compare TEA Party and Occupy, one is clearly more nuts. If you want solutions, we need to create an economic system in this country that allows businesses in the private sector to grow and expand, increase productivity and create more jobs. That will decrease unemployment and poverty. The US went from being the #1 most business friendly country in the world in 2008 to #5 in 2011 because of Obama's policies, that has to stop.

[khanmar]

@dunkelfier

I disagree the tea party is misguided on foreign policy, but overall is still mostly conservative, not quite as neo-con as Mitt, Newt,and Perry (I suspect). The only three GoP candidates that have any leg to stand on is Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and Jon Huntsmen. In that order. Occupy is nuts in that fact that it has no order and no clear goal. The reason why they are there makes perfect sense. My channel is full of solutions in my vids.

[khanmar]

@dunkelfier

Also, as terrible as obama is, really it was one term of clinton and two terms of Bush policys that ushered in this new era of pain. Bush destroyed SS's trust fund and started the deficit and obama in true democrat form just maxed out the debt and created BAD policy's or/and kept Bush's bad ones. So really Clinton opened the bank account, Bush opened a bad credit card spent 25% of its limit and obama just maxed it. All Republicrats are at fault. Give a libertarian a turn

[dunkelfier]

@khanmar I don't disagree we should give a libertarian a turn, nor do I disagree that Republicans are partially at fault, but Democrats are more at fault. Obama bases his policies on what he views is 'fair' not what is most efficient.

[khanmar]

@dunkelfier

They are equally at fault. You are completely right about Obama, but if you look at the past administration Obama would not of been able to achieve the level of damage he has, had Bush been stopped back in 2002. Neo-Cons are a facilitator to bad democrat spending.

[TheSchnozwanger]

@PissObamachrist Your insignificance is apparent.

[maxpower789z]

Penn Jillette is the bulldog we need in the RP 2012 campaign!

[Rebel4Life69]

This is old...from 2008?

[khanmar]

@Rebel4Life69

yeah jan 2008 I think

[MrNetnut]

Ron Paul is vilified by Republicans and Democrats, marginalized by the news media and a clear and present danger to the global elite.

[khanmar]

@MrNetnut

So brief and yet so well spoken! I might just have to steal this as a quote.

[khanmar]

@MrNetnut

So brief and yet so well spoken! I might just have to steal this as a quote.

[viwinner]

Glenn Beck going to vote for Ron Paul?

[viwinner]

Obama is a Facist a combination of corporate power and state is called facism.

[gman21xx]

a drowning man will grab a snake!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha i love this guy.

[JoePescisBoss]

beck is a lunatic

[augerrusty]

Obama is not a communist, and it is an insult to communists to say so!

[Jdawg0492]

@augerrusty He's a puppet, that's the true definition of Obama.
