GOP Minority Leader Called Out Over Big Banks

[lukegreen37]

Here's a tough question: Between the previous regime (Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney), the would-be regime (McCain, Palin, Giuliani and Romney), and the future regime (Boehner, McConnell, Cantor and Pence), who would you rather have to put up with over the other two?

[NaziGOPBallmer]

Not surprising that the child molester had his soul sucked out of him. After all, he did make a deal with the devil and the big banks to reap the profits off the backs of the middle-class.

[jasmine34417]

i think u shud be on how STUPID THIS VIDEO IS

[anitafh1]

Mitch McConnell looks like a really ugly, plastic, bird doll.

[TheRayField]

Cenk does a good imitation of Mitch

[pyrrhios]

GOP sucks big bank donkey ass. news how what?

[jhr4us]

Republicans = The Deceivers

[dmzhan2]

I hate that this guy was elected in my state.

get your damn hand outta the god damn cookie jar, damnit !

[MrMagneticPelican]

does mitch look he had the soul sucked out of him? why yes he does. hilarious observation

[Starrz88]

I immediately denounce and reject myself.

[Starrz88]

I love it when Cenk talks about how ugly McConnell is.

[clockworkscott]

the Goblin!!!!

[aarondavid826]

I don't get it

[pinkfloydeffect]

@aarondavid826 It's because your a fucking retard Aron...

[aarondavid826]

@pinkfloydeffect What are you stalking me now? Freak

[pinkfloydeffect]

@aarondavid826 All I did was click on your name and click the first thing you posted on, if you call that stalking your a computer illiterate...

[aarondavid826]

@pinkfloydeffect yes its stalking, whats next making vulgar comments on my zoo video? Computer illiterate, thats kinda outta left field isn't it? I bet you drive a van don't you, without any windows lol

[aarondavid826]

@pinkfloydeffect Your trying to impress me by telling me how much money you make lol. Really, your going with that lol. Kinda of a douche aren't you. Well i hope by "peace" you will stop stalking me on youtube's comment pages.

[jasmine34417]

[jasmine34417]

@pinkfloydeffect yea you are right she kept saying u stakled her maybe u will like to be her friend

[pinkfloydeffect]

@jasmine34417 No idea who it is but they are argumentative and go around posting "fake" on everything to start arguments.

[mcnukem]

he reminds me of foghorn leghorn

[yuukisama2001]

Gawd, I get tired of seeing that guy. He reminds me a goddamn zombie turtle.

[P1915]

Somheow the GOP has lost me. I just don't get it. How is this constant attempt to say NO a winning strategy from a minority party? They make no attempts to engage anyone beyond their base. I need to re-register for Pol Sci 101 to understand fully how this spells 'tactics' for the midterm elections. Check me, however at P1915. Hear Steele at NAN conference.

[Ivan951]

Fucken finally someone asks a question jeezus fucken christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fuck is wrong with people!!!!!!!! start asking them the hard questions they aint shit theyll bend to the will of the people and do the right things if we just take a few simple steps like these..... dam...

[stanjz]

More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending institutions.

Studies show the CRA didn't have anything to do with it either. Conservatives lie about everything including climate change

[bajalocom]

In my opinion Republikkkants are TRAITORS!

[watermelonygoodness]

Cenk does the best impressions ever.

[timmmahhhh]

To me McConnell looks like someone for whom there will never be enough Metamucil.

[MikeRoch6969]

the small banks are just as against regulation as the big banks. the problem is making money off of money without making anything of "value"

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Hey I must say, for once that was some damn good journalists asking damn good questions.

[SkreetGil]

Totally! He traded his soul for a whole shit load of money some time ago.

[HostileNegotiator]

I think conservatives are the ones who actually suck the life and soul out of Americans. The liberals are the ones who study the phenomena.

[tehant1liberal]

these petty partisan attacks are whats wrong with the hyper partisan politics the dems are playing in washington, mitch mcconnel does speak for the banks, the local community banks, the american people, the children of god who dont want to see their lives taken over by a marxist government with no respect for the laws of man or god. any attempt to regulate the banks will only cause more economic troubles and create a stream of endless bailouts that the dems will give them.

[huckleberry12]

@tehant1liberal you have an elementary level of education. get off my lawn.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

@tehant1liberal STFU! Lack of regulation and and even less enforcement of existing regulation is what led to the COLLAPSE of the world economy, all started by this country and your ideology. And you can go pray in one hand and shit in the other; get back to me on which one fills up first.

[tooltalk]

@bamboo4tameshigiri : even liberal economists like Dean Baker, who along with fiscal conservatives observed the housing bubble, have come to an understanding that it was the gov't utopian housing policy (and no oversight of Fannie and Freddie), plus the low-interest rates by the Fed. This is not a crisis of CDOs - it was a housing bubble created by misguided gov't policies.

[dudeeful1]

@tehant1liberal so ur saying the previous meltdown was due to too much regulation? wow, i hope ur joking.

[tooltalk]

@dudeeful1 : too much gov't intervention: Fannie and Freddies that in effect subsidizes the housing market and the Fed's lower interest rate that encourage speculative behaviors. The banking crisis is a result of the housing bubble - which for the most part is over, by the Fed effectively buying most of their toxic assets and re-inflating the market with even lower interest. Now, thx to more gov't intervention in bailout - we have to deal with much greater national crisis in currency

[elkadir70]

@tehant1liberal Wow, and i thought bag of rocks was dumb. compared to you a bag or rocks is a Rhodes Scholar

[djangst]

@tehant1liberal you are a fucking idiot

[eirefrance]

@tehant1liberal While what you say has some truth to it, the solution is not "no regulation". There are negative consequences to regulation just as there are negative consequences to not regulating. There is no such thing as a simple answer. And "Marxist government"? "Laws of man or god"? Please, get over yourself.

[TillThenPlease]

You could literally see the big bankers balls sitting right in his mouth.

[JM111787]

Oh no the dementors are real! Think happy thoughts people, Expecto Patronum!

[19TEC85]

How about going after the biggest bank of them all....the FED. You can bitch about the big banks all day but its pointless if you ignore the power of the FED, not just a chairmen or two, the entire damn thing......

[trajan74]

It's true, they do look like Sith. The corruption in their souls manifest on their outward appearence. Also he tried this line of bullshit on CNN this morning and tried to explain it as trying to get the big guys' advice on how to stop them from screwing us.

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

New Republican Strategy from Rove: Get Confederate-Americans registered as a minority and working in solidarity with other minorities.

[taoninja]

Soul sucked out of him? Yeah a psychopath with no soul.

[wonymoney]

thumbs up for "Soul sucked out of him".....

[A86]

Why do most Republican politicians look like Sith Lords? How the hell are people suckered into trusting people like this? Even if these Republican leaders were everyday people and I didn't know their politics I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog. Just look at them and listen to how they sound.

[TruthTacticsdotcom]

Wow... Dems have had a super-majority for over a year now, and they still blame the Republicans for the lack of financial reform? Democrats are pathetic and spineless. We need to get some gonads in the White-house quickly. These folks are making an unbelievable mess of this Country.

[hackit12]

@TruthTacticsdotcom -' have had a super-majority for over a year now, '-

Not so ! Had it for about 3-4 months. after Ted Kennedy died ...

-

Lies, exaggerations, innuendos, rumors, etc ....

-

"Historic obstruction" of appointees and legislation - through filibuster and cloture votes - by the minority - Repub. in Congress.

...

Been occurring since the 2006 elections.

[1nechance419]

republicans are in a bind over this...on one hand they want the president to fail BUT with bank regulation legislation, can can AGREE with the president and vote yes on reform..and possiblity look bad in front of the far right tea partiers, or they can vote no and look like they dont care

[spyletu]

ya cenk coined the association to goblin with mitch mcconnell.. i've been referring to him as the goblin for a while now and for a moment there i forgot where i first heard the term from.

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

Sucked the soul out of him? He looks like a burn victim after 17 surgeries! They took the skin from his ass and grafted it onto his face. He looks like he's melting.

[eeeen321]

*Attention*

The moral integrity has left the building!

I repeat....

The moral integrity has left the building!

Modern day republicans are either transparently dishonest, or they are transparently clueless. Its a lose-lose situation for them!

Republicans need to do some SERIOUS asskicking of their own kind if they want to be taken seriously.

Whenever I see or hear any modern day republican now, their points truly remind me of those Tabloids I laugh at while I am inline at the grocery store.

[giarcnella66]

I think we already know how big banks feel about legislation, scumbag!

[PirateEyepatch]

Cenk's imitation of McCockel would be better if he attached a six inch flab of dead turkey skin under his neck.

[Lavizzle]

Lol Cenk's getting better at impressions!

[FulinYu]

Cenk, once again you nailed it.

The same SOBs that nearly sank the world economy by trying to hide losses in derivatives are now working with their GOP "Handlers" to brainwash us.

[Sairin13]

I love how Mitch McConnell always sounds like the Evil Jimmy Stewart. He's like "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Sells Out."

[AxelLaw]

@Sairin13

You are SOOO right!!

[AlexanderRoder]

@Sairin13 He totally does!!

[MrBigwong]

@Sairin13 - LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking.

[MrBigwong]

@Sairin13 - Or "It's a Wonderful Life (if You're Rich)." In that movie, Jimmy Stewart's character kills himself, and Mr. Potter destroys all the small banks and then owns the town.

[Militarized]

I want to know who that reporter was asking those questions, so I can call him and thank him. Anyone know?

[bluecobalt27]

It disturbs me how much money and political influence go hand in hand in America. It's pretty bad in Britain, but in the States there seems to be a much more casual attitude to businesses and entrepreneurs paying politicians to do their bidding.

[CmdrTobs]

@bluecobalt27 Yeah, Americans worship businessmen like they are all knowing GODs.

I was watching 'question time' and one of the panel said something like "The Top business leaders have said that an increase in tax would kill the recovery... they know more than Brown because they're out there 'creating jobs'"

Then a guy in the audience suggested no matter what the situation 'Business leaders' would say 'no taxes' where as the PM has no such bias

You would NEVER hear an American say that on TV.

[TheUSMetalhead]

We need all these old career politicians out!

[fatman1001]

He got his soul sucked out of him by dick cheney

[disrxt]

Mitch McConnel is a Sith Lord "These are not he bankers you are looking for."

[DellBoy010]

@disrxt lol excellent quote

[rafacharmed2]

i love your acting. lol

[dEdGrimley]

How do you have a permanent bailout? A bailout is a gift of money... So the government is going to permanently keep giving them money every day and still allow the bankers and the private sector to keep the money? That doesn't even make any sense.

[Silvertrine]

Squirm Republicans squirm you miserable sons of bitches.

[dizzymasekela]

Sarah Palin reads everything and Mitch McConnell talks to everybody.

[LovelesEntertainment]

there is a C-span 3? That sounds very inte *snoooooreeee*

Btw, I like how TyT claimed to have done "research" but always have fucking watermarks on their videos from people who actually did research.

They are basically people who watch clips and comment on them... like Mst3k.

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

Love for sale!

[warrenoc]

Cenk u do the best impressions ever man

SO TALENTED :)

[scolexx]

he's a minority but not a leader.. what a lame excuse, he keeps repeating the "community bank in kentucky" haha, rethuglicans has the disposition of a 5 year old brat.. that might even be offensive to 5 year olds

[Dahgrostabphri]

He's a republican, I don't believe he had a soul to begin with

[OcularPolitics]

anyone else think Mitch McConnell might be possessed? xD

lmao

[JOS3EMMANUEL]

whats a minority leader?

[joespeed87]

@JOS3EMMANUEL a loser like McConnell

[antifaith82]

Mitch McChinless is targeted by the big banks because he has a smaller voting populace than say, someone in NY or CA, but he still needs to fund his campaign despite the people he represents being dirt poor (perhaps because HE represents them!).

[Thealazor]

Yeah they sucked his soul out alright. Replaced it with a cloned hybrid of a generic republican and a turtle. Fascinating species at a zoo but ain't fit for the US senate.

[elfyboy]

That's a charitable idea, Cenk, that McConnell had a soul to begin with!

[fret2424]

Want to lease the US government?

Here's a partial list of how much this "Real American" has collected:

UBS $98,450.00

Elliott Management $88,500.00

Citi Group $66,100.00

Would you GIVE that much money to a politician, without expecting something in return?

Would YOU give that much money to a politician without expecting something in return?

[dragonflychainsaw]

of course since reagan and trickle down economics we the little guys have been taking right up where the sun dont shine

[dangermous1968]

unfortunately ..no surprise there...I'd be surprised if you do a story on a politician who is caught turning down a bribe...that would be one hell of a story...

[HulkSmashPunyHumans]

Who that motherfucker talks to is the lobbyists as they stuff his fucking pockets.

That's why he says "we talk to people all the time".

As if our emails and phone calls can somehow negate the stacks of COLD HARD CASH he gets to sell us out.

Fucking worm.

[HulkSmashPunyHumans]

@HulkSmashPunyHumans

LIke we are stupid. Like we are dummies. FUCK THAT We are not dead yet for we dont know how to lie down and die. For We are The American People and we are coming on April 29th 2010.

[FightTheCorporations]

Everyone needs to take their money out of the banks and put it in Credit Unions!

[Hanali604]

It also seems the bankers fist is up his ass well

[grahamkeithtodd]

what a scumbag this man is...he did not even bother to "speak" to the community banks like he claimed but only to the BIG banks who under his leader Bush the idiot manged to fuck the USA utterly and completely! questions for you out their in the US..does you believe this tosspot lying wanker? did you know that most of the Big banks who got handouts used them to buy small banks to off load their debts? what about how Goldman Sachs beening raided on friday?

[mblasko]

dead on--the guy lost his soul long ago.

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

Mitch isn't a soulless goblin; that's how all Son'a look.

[darealdjnutz]

The Dems are still being too nice to these douchebags.

[coosoorlog]

*coosoorlog just became a fan of Cenk being the bad guy here

[MClown69]

everytime I see Mitch McConnell I think of that slowpoke turtle in the old bugs bunny cartoons....

[forgetititititit]

"Sucked his soul out of him"?

The guy is a Republican. They don't have a soul.

[pikacunut]

@forgetititititit

Trolling?

[Saaduk92]

@forgetititititit

Lol, I thought the exact same thing as soon as Cenk said it.

[generalducttape]

Like gingers!

[Mika20]

@forgetititititit

Of course they don't have souls. They're empty shells walking the streets and saying stuff people don't understand.

[chopperbubba]

Keep up the great work Cenk!

[Mortello]

I like the fact that these conservatives know and understand how corrupt it looks to represent the rich and the special interest, because watching them squirm is classic political entertainment at its finest!

[ShitSmear69]

that's a pretty good impression cenk

[genYprogressive]

More people need to do this kind of ambush journalism on Bitch McConnell to show he is full of shit.

[Mrhoder123]

Lol...great imitation Cenk.

[MegaVolcano]

One of your better impressions, Cenk. Good Job!

[Guernicaman]

Mitch McConnel never had a soul, Cenk.

What are you talking about?

[imataxslave]

I think what your seeing Turk, is what an empty suit looks like...

[Stingerbillion]

Well what do you expect from GOP aka "radical" party in the nation, hmmm, not much.

[edgeninja]

Epic

[HappySkeptic]

For McConnell to have the soul sucked out of him you first have to assume he had a soul to begin with.....

[elmirasahar]

lol, a goblin, yeah i can see that.

[zephyrvidar1]

*listens to Cenk's impersonation*

So when Jimmy Stewart died, his soul possessed the shell now known as Mitch McConnell?

[xadam2dudex]

look at him squirm when that guy asked him..they hate to be asked questions by people who aren't bought by the big corporate media..of course he had to end the question and go to another person for a new question..gotta keep from real questions

[LaughingManRa]

LOL

Gotta love "mom & pop" banks.

[frictionRx5]

AHAHAHA!

childish immature cartooney voices and juvenile personal attacks on someone's appearance.

obviously obnoxious infantile 3rd grade level behavior is what you filthy liberal SCUM embrace when it comes to news media.

oh yeah, and young turk's moronic sound effects box

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

EPIC FAIL!

[Solypsys]

@frictionRx5

Do you ever get tired of trolling TYT comments? Christ you've been subscribed to them for what, two years now?

[tbjw1]

@frictionRx5 - Mitch...Mitch, is that you? Who showed you how to use Youtube? Shut up, even your own town and local media are on to your tricks and deceptions now.

[grahamkeithtodd]

@frictionRx5 what like YOUR childish attacks on Obama and the others? pot and kettle spring to mind when i bother to think about YOU old son...

[megagagnon1]

Where's the birth certificate?

[FixedNewsChannel]

@megagagnon1 Where's your high school diploma?

[megagagnon1]

@FixedNewsChannel it's on the ground - bend over and you'll see it.

[mrx0066600]

Cenk You're the good guy, this guy doesn't have a soul.

[cockroach2]

McConnel looks like he's planning to steal Christmas from Whoville

[mrx0066600]

@cockroach2

"you're a mean one Mr. Mitch"

[EdgarDirby]

@cockroach2 Well, his heart is two sizes too small, after all.

[chenalos]

More Republican horseshit from the frogman.

[SMDavis53]

@chenalos He is NOT a frogman!!! He is a tortoiseman

[TheGiantRobot]

No more flip flopping, Cenk. Which is it? Ghoul or goblin? Take a stance.

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

@TheGiantRobot So are you a troll, or what?

[Xerxes4242]

@WeedGreenPowerRanger So are you an idiot, or what?

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

@Xerxes4242

Robot and I have a history, thx

[guatepower]

@TheGiantRobot I agree! Is either a ghoul or a goblin. He can't be both lol

[fanaticmoron]

Actually, I think Colbert's description is much more accurate than goblin. He looks either like a turtle or like a lightbulb is constanly popping in front of his eyes.

[ytben26]

hahaha a ghoul is accurate...

[Wiggymaster]

He sold his soul LONG ago, Cenk.

[failblorg]

i'm a conservative. I HATE it when liberal douche bags sell our country to big banks. but i'm ok with the idea of republican douche bags selling our country to big banks. If you're a Liberal. You should feel vice versa : )

remember. it's not about our country or our freedoms. it's about which fake pro wrestleresqe puppet you support that's important.

[Xerxes4242]

@failblorg I thought you were an idiot until I understood your tone:D

[chrimigules]

I always think that he looks like a turtle.

[Buergs323]

Can someone please tell me why it's a good thing to have a permanent bailout for banks? I don't see the logic...if anything it seems pretty anti-free market if you ask me

[Xerxes4242]

@Buergs323 Clearly you listen more to talking points than substance, or else you wouldn't ask that-_-

[Buergs323]

@Xerxes4242

I want to know. I'm not trying to be an ass, I want to know why liberals think it's a good thing to have a continuous bail out of banks in a piece of legislation.

[Xerxes4242]

@Buergs323 There IS no continuous bailout, that is the talking point I'm referring to.

[Buergs323]

@Xerxes4242 even some democrats are complaining the bill does nothing to stop the status quo

[FuriousTealeaf]

There's no such thing in the bill, stop accepting whatever the republican talking points are.

[turboboy68]

Mitch the bitch McConnell, typical republican assclown.

[jshooper]

bitch mcconnell looks like he's been embalmed

[EsotericDesi]

Media needs to ask these tough questions to these fuckin' hypocrites...

[Xerxes4242]

@EsotericDesi I'm glad your country is finally realising the role media is SUPPOSED to have. Ratings-chasing has been happening too long!

[restlesspride666]

@ecwaufisxtreme is she a man or a woman?

[blackmullen182]

I thought the same thing the first time i saw that guy.

[seemoretube]

Mitch McConnel looks like a turtle that has been de-shelled.....either that or he's just on giant old wrinkly penis....somebody throw a condom on him before he spews more fermented jizz everywhere.

[JerezJulio]

The bigest problem is that the man is a racist and he cannot allow a Black president set popular legislaltion of any kind, that is the one and only problem.

[ASTCify]

I love Cenk's impersonations!

[zundey2000]

So basically this momo couldn't even do his shitty job properly. What a fukdup shmuck. Watch the GOP drop Mitch McConnel, cause this bitch can't pump kok no more.

[gallomex13]

Cenk should get and Oscar for his Imitation of Mitch LOL

[MedievalWerewolf]

Sucked his soul out, huh? He must have been a former acquaintance of Shang Tsung.

[zundey2000]
