  • Liberal socialists simply can not overcome their great desire to defer the responsibility for their own future, welfare and now medical care upon their mother-figure...the govt. Their brilliant (sounding) arguments ignore the most basic of historical realities and understanding of human nature. False hopes! Perhaps this is so because we were created to be dependent on and worship our Creator...so all those hard-wired abilities and predispositions are there for a reason but wasted on atheism.

  • 2:04 - not only is he the waaah-mbulance chaser, he's also the waaah-mbulance!

    bar, schmar!

  • If donations are being given out it should be given to benifit the homeless, reservations, and those individuals who are mentally challenged and have very little income.

  • that guy would be good in a soccer game...you know, when two running players bump into each other and one of them falls to the ground rolling around holding his leg like he's been run over by a truck. Then he either gets the other team penalized and limps off the field, or it doesn't get called and he gets up and keeps running.

    It's bullshit and so is this guy. This is like that girl in PA claiming a black guy scratched a B in her cheek.

    When you've told a thousand lies, what's 1 more.

  • obamas a fascist because theyre not in charge anymore, and they arent able to declare war on whoever they want anymore, just going to have to obey the law just like everyone else. so, now obamas a fascist. how does it feel to be told to do something you dont want to do, republicans? sucks, doesnt it

  • Why Can't Fox News report this tidbit regarding the whole SEIU situation

  • And you are a typical retard. Fascist AND communist eh? What more is he? Martian?

    You don't really have a clue what those words mean, do ya? Go ask your grandpa that fought in secession against the betrayers from the north that wanted to "gasp" release the slaves!

  • They really don't understand what the words 'communist' and 'fascist' even mean.

  • i love when they call him a communist and a facist and a racist and a muslim. lol can you be all those things at once

  • socialist radical. look both of those words up.

  • Actually fascist are extreme right wing. Of course, that's not in their party NAME. But, you know, 2 or 3 MINUTES of history research do wonders.

  • "Fascism (in Italian, fascismo), capitalized, was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Similar political movements spread across Europe between World War One and World War Two and took several forms such as Nazism and Clerical fascism. Neofascism is generally used to describe post-WWII movements seen to have fascist attributes".

    Not my words by the way.

  • I have nothing against that definition, but Fascism is actually the generic term and, as such, Nazism is a form of fascism, with is a right wing political movement using the social democratic argument to restrain the individual rights and actually control the "proletariat" giving a lot of advantages to the established elites.

    Comunism is a left wing form of government where the proletariat is (theorically) driving the state and there's no longer property rights to other entity than the state.

  • Actually Nazism implemented several aspects of Socialism as well and it can be argued with reasonable confidence that Socialism was more of a factor in Nazi Germany then Fascism. Regardless

  • Sorry, had to cut in half because of character count.

    Anyway, that means Fascism (or Nazism) is the complete opposite to Comunism. Actually Fascism is pretty much the same as right wing, religious capitalism with a xenophobic twist. That a republican call Obama a Comunist I can understand (it's still ridiculous, but understandable from a extreme right view).

    Someone calling Obana BOTH Fascist and Comunist? That person needs high school. Badly.

  • Traditional Constitutionalists are considered Right wing but our ideals are pretty much the opposite of any big government agenda. We believe in extremely limited Government wherein the individual is free to govern themselves. By the way.......What is being referred to as capitalism today is in fact closer to being Corporatism which conflicts with Capitalism.

  • Esplain to me what you think a fascist isand how Obama is that, and I'll set you straight. Also, why would a communist ever support a fascist? Your ideas are laughably stupid.

  • The principles of Fascism and communism are not the same. You cant call Obama a Fascist or communist based off of what those associations meant 50 - 60 years ago. One may argue that Obama is a Fascist in the way that he governs, not a Fascist by policy. Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state. Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government.

  • Except even with his supermajority, he is not turning it into a one party state. He has been trying to include the Republicans in the writing of the Healthcare bill, but even then they are making their changes and still saying they will vote against it.

    The only ones trying to suppress anybody from talking is those people who scream at the townhall meetings.

  • You mean the people that have actually read the health care bill and the Constitution?

    By the way......did Obama ever get around to actually reading it? I know he said a while back that he hadn't read it.......Too busy earning Nobel peace prizes I guess.

  • He probably did, I don't honestly know.

    The bill is well over a thousand pages, as is necessary to cover all the heatlh plans, illnesses, conditions, state health laws, etc...

    And what is unconstitutional about the health care bill?

  • The money for the health care bill is collected from the people whether they wish to give it or not. If I wanted to donate money to a charity, it's all well and good but if I decide to use my neighbors money against his consent for this charity it becomes a crime which is a violation of the rights stated in the constitution. Even If I get somebody to collect this money for me such as the  Federal Government for example it's still a crime and a violation of that individuals rights.

  • Of course that is my opinion from a perspective relying on a Literal translation of the Constitution.

    I have my positions and I believe they're right but I have come to realize that anymore right and wrong are nothing more then a matter of perspective. All I can do is act according to my own conscience with the information that I have. I do a reasonable amount of research to stay up to date on the info available. I expect others to do the same instead of garnering all their info from the media.

  • A Literalist interpretation of the constitution is impossible these days, simply because (A) it was written 200 years ago, most of the amendments are very old too, and the world has changed and (B) it is deliberately vague and open to interpretation in order to be flexible.

    Every other Westernised nation has universal healthcare,and eveyr one of those nations have benefited. Which would you prefer, a strict literal interpretation of the constitution, or a working healthcare system?

  • The Constitution is Old?

    Democracy and even universal health care are much older. In Comparison the Constitution is still a toddler.

    The problem is that people chose to sacrifice self Government for Security.

    I'm not interested in the "world" I'm interested in my own country. The Constitution is still very much Valid and if we would have followed the Constitution in the first place we wouldn't have nearly the problems we do.

    I'd prefer a strict literal interpretation of course.

  • @Twisteddreamer78 Those slave-holding misogynists truly were completely infallible.

  • @dangerouslytalented

    Dangerous indeed--Let me get this straight...you want the leader of the free world to make the same mistakes that the lesser nations have made because you have MORE FAITH in government to take care of you at tax-payer's expense than in taking care of YOURSELF in the most prosperous Nation on Earth? Are you really THAT lazy or has the liberal politicians' con job on the ignorant just fooled you into voting to give them total control over all of us? Think!

  • @TexasMAGIatAOL Universal healthcare is not a mistake. Universal healthcare is far cheaper, more efficient, and results in higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality.

    What IS a mistake, is to let the health and insurance companies to rort the system every way they could, which was what was happening before the (relatively minor) reforms Obama made.

  • @TexasMAGIatAOL I find it hilariously ironic that you ended this incoherent rant with "Think!".

  • Sadly, someone voted your remark down for making a valid and informed assertion. I weep for this country.

  • You don't think the White house is not currently doing it's damnedest to suppress and forbid criticism?

  • This is more about an ambulance chaser trying to write some business for himelf.

  • DON'T STEAL

  • THE GOVERNMENT HATES COMPETITION

  • from your comment i thought you were a child. put on your tin foil hat you nutty motherfucker. obama and his nazi communist can read your thoughts.

  • Whoa whoa whoa.

    DId you honestly put the words Nazi and Communist in the same sentence?

  • No one ever claimed hardcore right wingers had a brain.

  • @JewsWreckNations:

    Your comment doesn't apply to the story presented in any way. It seems that talking out of your ass is getting you nowhere, douchebag.

  • lol @ this whole story. it just keeps getting better.

  • The right are wayyyyyy different that's for sure.

    Nice name BTW, don't be surprised if nobody replies to your comments.

  • Whenever I see stuff like that I just block them.

  • I think I will go to a town hall meeting with my legal advisor. Ya...ya...Thats the ticket.

  • That guy is doing the same stunt the serial killer Scorpio tried in Dirty Harry.

  • idiot republitards promoting the culture of ignorance, legacy of the bushco administration of crooks & liars.

  • gay guy

  • Kids?

    Can you say "fraud"?

  • Comment removed

  • It's boring without Ana

  • This anti-healthcare shit is ridiculous; guys fighting for their right to be fleeced by insurance companies! Haven't heard much from the insurance execs lately, but that's probably 'cause they're just now catching their breath from laughing so hard at their lemming stooges' antics.

  • Bring back Ana!

  • What happened to Ana?

  • She joined Fox News.

  • lol That's about as believable as Fox news itself.

  • On their website it says she's on vacation for a week.

  • Ah, in that case, let her enjoy her vacation! >:3

    As long as she's coming back it's ok. :p

  • Is this lawyer's name by any chance Lionel Hutz? I'm sure the wheel chair was provided by Dr. Nick too.

    Bye Everybody!~!!

  • CONservative. Yep.

  • LIBeral.

    Wait, I did it wrong.

  • he's got attorney induced paresthesias

  • He wasn't 'beaten half to death', it's all conservative propaganda that you obviously bought into.

  • Actually he was not beaten half to death. They barely touched him. The entire incident was videoed. You tell me what they did.

  • this man barely got touched, he probably tripped and fell. conservative pussys!

  • paralyzed? Your a fucking moron.

  • His paralysis are what his insurance company would term a "preexisting condition".

    He was already paralysed, and he was not even touched by anybody. He merely fell down and cried "assault assault' and we have the video footage that shows this happened.

    If there was universal health care in the US then he would not have needed to resort to lying about being assaulted to get treatment.

  • Watch the "assault video" and then comment.

  • sometimes i think people are paid to put up certain comments that have a political agenda rather then fact.

    Even though the video would show that nobody beat him up and certianly didn't paralize him.

    Does it have to be "liberal thugs" wouldn't it just be "thugs" i mean seriously why does the term liberal need to even be put in this disinformation attempt. you are trying to tie violence to a fake label placed on americans who you disagree with.

    you sound so crazy nobody listens!

  • Had he been in any country with universal healthcare, then his condition(s) would have been treated long ago.

  • You can't cure stupid.

  • The problem is, the stupid do not want to be cured.

  • LOL....conservatives love this guy.... They always complain about people who dont pull their weight!

  • Conflict of Interest?

    Or is it ok in the US to do so?

  • He could've at least scribbled a backwards "B" on his face in red crayon and claim it was carved on his face by Obama supporters so it could be the lead story on Fox News...

    I can just see him on Glenn Beck, "They carved a B on my face with a machete and threatened to tax me to death!!!"

  • True true... actually they will probably carve a letter R For Obama if they are Republican. ^_^

  • LOL! His wife works for the government and he gets insurance through her? And his lawyer is the witness? You can't make this shit up.

  • "Is conservative hero conning his own?"

    Isn't that what all conservatives with a platform do?

    "Free market" FTW!

  • Comment removed

  • Of course he is conning his own for Ken Gladley is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR being than Gladley could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Gladley wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

  • Conservatives are a joke.

  • too many conflicts of interest, im confused a to where to start

  • Sigh. I see the underclass rednecks have to spew on every board they can.

    You are a small minority, a dying breed, have the IQ of a dead gnat, (no offense to gnats), and hate that you are so irrevalant.

    So why are you irrevalant? Because most people don't think like you.

    PLEASE KEEP UP THE HATE. It is further killing your party.

    Thank you, inbred idiots.

  • ROFL.....wow....

  • The GOP is a big joke. Begin to cry again republicunts because Obama will be president for 8 years.

  • the REEEEEEEAL joke is that ur allowed to exist

  • That's quite a response...how long do you guys spend making up nicknames for Obama...shouldn't you be doing something more productive with your time?

  • @jimboVids-i think the vast majority of people had a honest assessment of president obama, hoping that he would do his best, but since he was in one of 2 main parties, not expecting a lot.

    no, the true SUCKERS are FUCKTARDS

    like you who work day and night help the health industry drain the system dry and not demand the repcons draft a real "market based" plan that will break the collusion of the health industry. you want to laugh at a damn fool, look in the mirror!

  • You do understand you run the risk of having another George Bush in charge of your healthcare a few years later, right?

    Just a thought. You might want to get off that healthcare "reform" crazy train before you'll regret it.

    After all, Obama can only run 2 terms.

  • WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP FORGETTING IT IS A "PUBLIC OPTION"??? This is getting pathetic...

  • they're not "forgetting" they're ignoring...I love this country but man...there sure are a lot of lunatics here and I'm from Afghanistan :D

  • Doesn't mean that by 2016 Obama's gonna be the last person on the Earth who's not kissing corporate ass.

    There will be others. But it is a good point. What would a conservatard do in charge of a government healthcare option, though, aside from taking money away from it and fucking everyone over to take over other countries for their oil or to get rid of the Muslims so Jesus will come back?

  • @Kapan60- if bush had touched medicare, him and his regime would have been run out on a rail. just look at the conservatives in great britain, no way they would touch NHS now. so your point is moot.

  • Actually Bush did. He expanded medicare coverage greatly. Too bad he didn't bother to work out the math and realize he only sped up it's bankruptcy.

  • kapan60, when i say touched, i mean cut it, privatize or destroy it, but thanks for the additional points.

  • When you've had Bush and Cheney for eight years, Obama's change is a hell of a lot, even if it's staying mostly the same.

    I'd rather have a so-called "magic negro" over a couple of assholes who start wars for their own profit any day.

  • rep. and dems. are obviously on the same side there arguments just create illusion of choice . they all have like interests.

  • Wait, you mean this conserv ative activist is a lier and a scam artist?

    Uhh yeah! Why do you think we call them CONS?!

    And the right will continue to defend these guys even as they get scammed most of all.

    It would funny if the rest of us weren't being forced in to being screwed right along with them.

  • The lawyer still hasn't excused himself from conflict of interest. I am really surprise that there are enough foolish people that enable them to collect about $1,000.

  • hmm... hypocrisy, nepotism, greed..yup all the qualifications for a conservative hero

  • Thats right we do, all in a group at our meetings.

    But you're such a big man you get all the girls and leave none for us. Oh yeah how'd you get so cool.

  • you are smart.... NOT!

  • wow a not joke real fucking origonal a first gradeer can think of this

  • so you must be in kindergarten since you can't spell! it's "original" and "grader" by the way.

    OWNED!

  • so u must be a gay democrat

  • The boy needs some out-of-control cop to tase him for being a whuss

  • Love it, the American dream is live and kicking!

  • He denounced violence against opposing views. Why not address the real issue that the video is referring to.

    Typical moron republican

  • I did give you a legitamate response, those people who assaulted him, even if just a shove are inexcusable, and Cenk mentioned that already if you were paying attention.

    Now answer my question, how is it a smear tactic to point out the so called victim is asking for donation simply for the sake of it?

  • sure I'll answer u. since u admit that those union thugs should've minded their own business and not resorted to violence then this man would not have been crippled, now unable to find work and now need to ask for donations.

  • He was already unemployed. If he has government health insurance through his wife, why are they collecting for him for medical costs? Your logical progression of events are average at best...

  • please say this post was satire

  • the guy was walking perfectly fine in the video in case you didn't see it.

    But that's beside the point, he has health insurance and is being treated so what does he need the donations for?

  • You're a moron, the ski accident was bleeding from the brain.

    Tell me what kind of accident puts you in a wheel chair a few days later? Show me a case you republican dipsh*t.

    Did it ever occur to you that he's acting?

  • oh yeah right cuz no one ever got a back injury from work or a car accident that didn't show up til a day or a few days later. I thought u liberals believed in science. ur just here to hate on this guy who got beaten up. I think u r a monster

  • Of course he's acting. Can you really blame him? Conservatives are some of the biggest suckers out there. People like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Orly Taitz ,and Glenn Beck are already riding that money train fueled by the stupid.

  • The man isn't CRIPPLED! He got right back up! He even walked to the camera and talked to the guy holding it!

  • Friciton, ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha. The Young Turks are a group of Liberals who happen to have a website devoted to them and are on Air America.

    When I call you reddies dumb, you wonder why? Good gracious. Some of these comments are breathtaking. I could understand if they were made by a mentally challenged person..............wait, they are made by mentally challenged people like you.

    PSST. GOOGLE CAN BE YOUR FRIEND. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH.

  • All these right-wing movements end up being pyramid schemes or corporate con schemes.

  • Of Course, what does the first 3 letters of the word conservative spell?

  • a grand ?that's all he gets for his soul?

  • He's a republican. That's way above market value.

  • you know what I could use some donations too. Personal message me for P.O. box to send that money burning a hole in your pocket during these tough economic times.

  • This is indefensible. Fuck the neo-cons. Fuck ALL of them.

  • lol, shady shady

  • Cenk is turking off again!

  • lmao...conservatives !...when do they stop the insanity ?......since gladney is in a "wheelchair" now , does he qualifiy to appear before the death panel ?.....i mean...how productive can he be ?....LMAO....bunch of clowns

  • lol, funny, I was listening to "Nickelback - Hero" when this video popped up.

  • hero? aren't they claiming he got his ass beat? what kind of hero is that?

  • A martyr?

  • good point, still seems kinda weak to root for a guy that got punked

  • "who dosent need a donation" I imagine the Fonz popping up behind him "aayyyye"

  • AAAYYYYYYYYYY!

  • The black guy who fell down needs to be permanently placed into the streets. And this so called "lawyer" needs to get his ass sued.

  • just makes me think of south park when i hear about poor kenny....

  • If anyone wants to get in touch with me, I could do a donation...I mean, who doesn't?

  • the people who helped him out prob had money and r more likely leaning to republican party and i wouldnt say they r republicans caz republicans wouldnt give up there money to other people as far as i would say caz to me the deffinition of republican is selfish dickshit

  • If anybody would like to make a donation to me, so I can by a big screen TV and sleep with some high class hookers, PM me.

    Who doesn't need a donation, eh?

  • a conservative?lie to, manipulate,or mislead his own party for his own personal and poltical goals ? oh come on now dont be silly they would never....ever...not once....not even think about it

    this story ,wow why do we let so much outrageous shit occur? just a little question i gotta throw out

  • Proof or that shit never happend

  • Conservatives are COCKSUCKERS.

  • i think its a hole lot of nothing. but who started frivolous law suits. tort lawyers the biggest lobbyists in Washington.and you wander what do thy lobby fore. bad law.

  • i donno what is worse... the injured guy wanting to leech money or the layer helping him hoping to get some of his money

  • The Conservative is worse than the lawyer - he's the one pretending to be honest, the lawyer is known by everyone to b the scum of the earth, it's just in his nature.

  • I was wondering....did anyone even check to see what they are paying for before they contribute? Kenneth must have a very lengthy receipt right?

  • enough with political correctness

    i hope someone would have really popped a few in his conservative face

  • Really? The guy blatantly lies to undermine people obviously bigger and better than him that he doesn't agree with, and the best you can come up with is popping him in the face? At least suggest a Jack Bauer-esque torture scene, or something involving a whip and sulfuric acid D:

  • well punching him a few times in the face will heal in a couple of weeks

    im no sulfuric acid expert, but im sure that would be irreversible

  • that wasn't the main problem... haven't you listened to it?

  • well I agree his lawyer cant play witness and they should pull in others but what im saying is that if the beating never took place then why did the one guy accused run off when police showed up and why did the one guy defend his actions by saying "he attact america". And as for his injuries none of us here can honestly say they didnt excist. I faught tough man, and been a bouncer, and I have seen where the injuries dont show full effect for hours afterwords.

  • we actually watched the fight, all that happened is he fell. no kicking, no punching. then right after he got right up and didn't even seem out of breath, he was perfectly fine. Then all of the sudden the next day he was supposedly beaten so badly that he had to be in a wheelchair and on some hardcore pain meds.

  • Who doesn't need "a wheelchair and on some hardcore pain meds. "

  • why dont you go back and listen to the whole thing. the guy said "he attacked a minister" go back and listen after that and then get back to me.

  • Of course it's a con job. And you know what? His pawns don't care. Their cause (i.e. hatred of Obama/government) is what they're really donating towards, not Gladney.

  • Does anyone know who exactly they are suing and why was the union guy on the ground in the beginning?

  • Doesn't that make Cenk angry when Lawyers do that considering Cenk is a lawyer himself?
