  • This same woman was extremely biased when talking about him before. /watch?v=AZtcft5C5IU

    Paul was completely right. I question why he even talked to her in the first place, or why CNN even sends this cunt to talk to him.

  • Fuck the retarded RonBots! Those cumm drinking faggots swallow everything that their senile Creationist Messiah spews! If wRong Paul came out tomorrow and began claiming that the world is round, his moronic supporters would defend him tooth and nail!

  • @deeppurple28 As a Ron Paul supporter, I:

    1) Am not a bot, but a free thinking individual, who considers contrasting viewpoints and has an evidence-based world perspective.

    2) Have never consumed cum.

    3) Do not consider him a 'messiah'.

    4) Already believe the world is round...and would hope that he does too.

    5) Love Deep Purple the band, but find the user to be falling back to name calling when logical debate fails to defend their viewpoint. In that, I say, there is no logic or discussion.

  • @jdeltan9ne wRong Paul supports letting a man with no health care Die! Yeah that's what the Human species is about, letting each other just Die off!

  • @deeppurple28 I have never heard of a good reason to not like Ron Paul... Who do you support?

  • @TheSouthpaw1993 I support Anyone who wishes to help the proletariat! Not talking about entitlements, just about helping the people who actually need assistance! And from what I've seen, wRong Paul has no problem letting a man who has no health care, DIE!

  • I found the question as a waste of time to Ron Paul. Yes he could have answered simply and quickly,but i guess the over reaction was from frustration. Does the media go to every celebrity, politician etc over why they didn't shake a persons hand or sign their name on something for a fan, no. I saw a video where Mitt didn't answer a question from a guy on a wheelchair; he just walked away, and the media didn't get in Mitt's face about it. I Hope Ron Paul becomes president.

  • I think he should give up his presidential run because of this scandal. That poor lady - I hope she can go on.

  • @badger5079 lol i hope your oozing sarcasm

  • It seems to me that the media was trying to paint Dr. Paul as uncaring about his voter base. Dr. Paul didn't want to get dragged into that hellhole. I think he made the right choice by getting out of that situation.

  • I don't think this was fair and one needs to look at the broad picture. Ron Paul supporters have the feeling that they are misrepresented by the media, and Cenk seems to agree on that at the end of this video, and I do to. I think that here Paul and his "aids" or whatever believed they were being once again set up for a cheap shot by a media. They were probably being overly paranoid, they probably could have kept their cool, sure, but I think they have a genuine pressure and rightful distrust.

  • Did they mention why it was that he left diner?

  • The dislikes SHALL NOT PASS the halfway point!

  • A stupid question, but a more stupid answer. Sorry Paul.

  • Newt Gingrich does this kind of thing all the time

    **AND I WAS FORCED TO WATCH A GINGRICH ADD TO WATCH THIS**

  • I don't give a fuck about a handshake. How about we ask real questions. Like I don't know, what will you do to help this country not who didn't shake who's hand and wave hello to and blah blah blah. If her not getting her hand touched is that important that it is considered a serious question then our journalist are more stupid then they look. And you Ron Paul haters are just looking for anything to go against him so it doesn't matter what he did or does you will criticize him for it. 12on Paul

  • @Robdee999 They are not allkPaul haters, some of them agree with some things he does and not others, and that is what happened here. Because you support Ron Paul you cannot imagine people disagreeing with ANYTHING he does unless they are totally opposed.

  • Comment removed

  • @Robdee999 Wait, when did I say Obama never loses his cool?

    Not sure how realistic it is to pretend he talks like Porky Pig either.

  • @dorianleakey Sorry was responding to someone else...

  • @Robdee999, A President that looses his cool and refuses to answer questions does not make a good President. Obama kept his cool, even when confronted by OWS protesters in a mike check, he kept his cool. Ron Pual will make a lousy president. We have had enough with lousy presidents like Bush, Secretive and assanine. Ok Paulyttes, give me your best counter shot. But truth is truth. Ron Paul doesn't have ability to deal one on one with others and he would have to pick a VP like Bush did to do it.

  • @stormyleewolf Also you've stated no facts, that's all opinion so I answered with an opinion. Also Obama refused to answer a question so according to your standards he isn't a good president. That's a fact. Also you don't see all the questions Obama dodges by ignoring the people that ask him that and you don't see his life 24/7 so how can you say he doesn't lose his cool ? Your just looking for something to try to make a point on why you hate Paul. I understand, I get it but I don't care.

  • I AM A PAULBOT *BEEP BEEP BEEP* CRITICISM DETECTED, ENGAGE YOUTUBE COMMENT SPAM MODE *BEEP BEEP*

  • The question makes no sense, really. I mean, she's just head-hunting for a stupid answer. Of course he can't meet every voter one on one, it's an absurd thing to even propose.

  • Ron Paul is a hack. 

  • @kesquisse yur mom

  • The Jewish Leftist Fagget Anal sucking fuckers

  • I support Ron Paul but I don't know why every one who supports him here is bashing cnn and TYT big deal..he should have given her an answer a simple "I coundl't get to her" God people have to stop think he's a perfect human being and can't be critize or anything-___-

  • he thinks Ron Paul is trying to indimidate the press?!?! lmao has this mother fucker been living under a fucking rock or what? The media has been ignoring Ron Paul this whole race and when they do actually ask him something, it is something dumb and has nothing to do with any of the issues! OR if they talk about him they bash him! or say he can't win! FUCK THE MEDIA! and FUCK THESE FAGGOT ASS YOUNG TURkS!

  • @TupacCobain He never said he was trying to intimidate the press, Just saying he was being lazy as he knows he can act like this is another example of the media attacking him when on this case its not. And the young turks have said a lot in support of Ron Paul to.

    SO FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCKETY FUCK,

    FUCKER!!!!!!!

    I put the swearing in at the end to try to relate to you on your own level.

  • FUCK THE YOUNG TURKS! and FUCK CNN and the rest of the mainstream media.

  • the question was stupid and so is Dana Bash

  • This chick is a hack and has been banned from covering Paul do to fluff stupid questions like this and the fact that she stated she is worried he will win. You ask me stupid questions, you get treated stupid. All you Paul haters need to do research before pretending you care and fucking up our system even more with your ignorant votes for the same ol shit.

  • LOL at all the paulfags

  • wow.suprised this is even being covered

  • Who in the fuck gives their vote away to a candidate simply because they shake your hand?! What kind of bullshit-thinking is that?!

    How about you vote based on something that actually matters, this ain't about electing class-president...

  • Ron Paul was ignored by media wholesale on those primary debates; whether he was ahead or behind the polls both online or exit or actual votes counted, THEY NEVER MENTIONED HIM AT ALL, treated it like he was not there. The debate audience saw this and booed moderators who would not let him speak at one debate. And now they want to interview him on this one fluff topic? And guess who this CNN reporter was, the lady that said SHE WAS WORRIED THAT PAUL WAS AHEAD in one debate.

  • Ron Paul seems honest and genuine and I love his stance on foreign policy. I'll even vote for him based on those values, but that's only because I'm planning on moving to Canada and so I wouldn't have to deal with his domestic policies. GL

  • Bill Maher admits, many of the viewers here are what he calls "brainwashed liberals". Whiners who can't debate the issues because they're pulling for their boytoy Obama. Sadly, I might vote for Obama if Gingrich or Romney win, only because Dems typically don't cower to Israeli demands so effortlessly, they need a little nudging. Obama will have a major scandal in the next year just like Clinton did, and we'll find out how tough he really is. Clinton cracked and launched Operation Desert Fox.

  • I'm a paul supporter but yeah he overreacted.

  • @mitenzouki ..no he didn't. If that was Mit Romney, he would have punched on and pulled a gun on the media. Ron Pauls wife and his assistants wife were shoved and roughed up by the media when they were trying to get though the cafe. She's lucky he didn't put his boot up her arse.

  • @Jasbadsirron Just because someone else reacts more negatively doesn't mean that the other person didn't overreact. It's a question, It's annoying, but we don't need to storm off. Insult her by all means but don't lose your cool. Still overall this is relatively minor and doesn't change my opinion of the dear doctor.

  • @mitenzouki Why can't more of his supporters be like you?

  • that news reporter is a whore. She asked a question, a clear negative one, that she would have never asked romney. Ron paul should have shit in her face. his campaign gets enough shit already as it is, theyre tired of the bullshit. anybody against what they did is a phony. real talk.

    We all know Ron is the REALIST dude of all those candidates combined, and now you wanna think twice about his character and actions?

    cenk can go fuck himself. shitty opinion my friend. very shitty opinion.

  • CNN: The Corporate News Network

  • Comment removed

  • So what? At least he doesn't kiss everyone's ass just to get his face on the tv. I bet Dana Bash made that shit up about some bullshit customer, or paid someone to say it on camera. They have an agenda, all of them, even you, TYT - And that's why you lost me as a subscriber.

  • Cenk Uygur just doesn't get it.

  • @RonPaulbotsaremorons your an immature little ass.

  • @inademv "Go climb a wall of dicks you candle sniffing fence fuck"

    LOL x 10

  • if you think that is legitimate question, by golly america is in trouble.

    america is broke cenk, and still killing black people all around the world. and this is the type of questions the media is asking.

    you are in the alternative media & are supporting stupid press coverage.

    wake up to yourself.

  • @AnarchyEnsues The question was "do you think that says anything about your ability to connect with voters?"

    That is a plainly legitimate question to which a person, Ron Paul in this case, could answer yes or no. Instead of being an adult, he deflects the question and storms off like a child.

  • Sounds like you all would be happier with a BS answer to this question like any of the other politicians would have given. What political bearing did the question really have? None Ron Paul isnt about giving fake answers to make the masses happy. You all just cant handle that can you?

  • LOL look at all those RP support on dislike bar! hahaha

  • @journeytoislam Surprisingly(sarcasm) your generalization is incorrect! I am not American. Classless is being invited on a show then when asked a question go on a rant for 5 minutes, not be quiet so the host can talk, then lie to everyone you're speaking to. The guy's a joke and Cenk shouldn't even have had him on in the first place.

  • @Jasbadsirron Racism will get you nowhere.

  • @Dane42o Just so you're aware: Jewish, isn't a race champo. Neither is Muslim. So no racism there buddy...and since when was it 'racist' or wrong to say that you don't like Zionist Jews? I hate them as much as I dislike Wahabbi Muslims and Fundamentalist Christians. So get off your high horse and go eat a big bag of 'African American' dicks.

  • @Jasbadsirron Semantics. The ignorance is about equal to racism. If you're trying to make a point I suggest you stop saying 'jews did this, jews did that' when it really has little impact what their religion is and a lot are not jewish. It makes you sound like, yes I'm gonna go there; Hitler.

  • @Dane42o No its not semantics buddy. There is a clear cut conflict of interest here and Its because she is being put under pressure by the Zionist lobby, as are many non Jewish reporters who work for the MSM. And it sounds nothing like Hitler, you obviously have never read some of the Jewish scriptures, they are the most racist peices of literature ever written. Get your facts right before entering an argument with people who know what their on about mate..back to your CNN, FOX etc.....

  • @Jasbadsirron There is a racial element to Judaism, its difficult to convert to and you are considered Jewish if your mother was jewish, so its there. Your opinion here is spot on though.

  • Ignorance is bliss, Ron Paul 2012!

  • @neverfakeit is this meant to be a sarcastic attack on Ron Paul or are you saying everyone else is ignorant? it sounds like the former.

  • What a Dick!

  • YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO JOURNALISM. WHO GAVE YOU A VIDEO CAMERA?

  • Just another media dumb fuck trying to distract the people that loves reality shows.. What does stupid questions like these have to do with the fact that this country needs change?

  • @Tuzo4ever77 So you slander the media and a vast majority of the US population and for some reason expect their support? And you people wonder why Ron Paul is considered unelectable.

  • fat fuck

  • Ron Paul just needs to laugh at the media and move on. Everyone knows theyre out to get him. Ron Paul 2012

  • @Menchosaurus They've gone from Public Access, to Sirius Satellite Radio, and now have the largest independent online news show. MSNBC was just a quick stint for a couple months, and the Current show has only been on for two months. So the idea that TYT is going nowhere fast is just crazy.

    The idea he's doing this for the sake of "empire" I would think is ridiculous also since the other TYT shows are hosted by other staff members. If anything they probably do it for fun.

  • Why do Paulbots complain so much.

  • Can't take a question, who cares just answer it and move the fuck on. Simple valence question that can be easily solved, instead he over reacts. Just like his supporters who spam TYT.....

  • @RonPaulbotsAreMorons you cant tell the difference between real and phony. that or you're misinformed just like the rest of the sheeple that dont support Ron paul. when it comes to choosing a 2012 republican candidate, there is no such thing as opinion my friend. ron is the fact. real talk.

  • @RonPaulbotsAreMorons The reason he acts like this is because they give him "media attention" by asking him these types of questions ALL THE TIME. They won't dare ask him a question on policies because he will gain more supporters if they let him talk.

  • Dana Bash uses fascist methods

  • 1:36 smug bitch

  • @Naminator236 Your sh*tting your pants over Iranians who you won't fight but will be glad to send other Americans off to War to die trying to wipe off the planet while at the same time critiquing how horrible some Marines are for supposedly pissing on some dead bodies you saw in a video_Your the same Jack*ss's that believed The Gulf of Tonkin Incident then spit on Vietnam Vets Returning from War_My brother is defending Opium Farmers in this Perfect World you speak of.JoeyB'03-OIF-USMC

  • ARGH FUCK THIS!! LISTEN HERE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS... RON PAUL IS SICK OF THESE PISS-ANT-NO-POINT-STUPID-ASS-F­UCKING-QUESTIONS ALRIGHT!! FOR FUCKS SAKE, HE IS THE ONE GUY TRYING TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY AND DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME DO DEAL FUCKING IDIOT SET-UPS AND ENTERTAINING THE MINDLESS BULLSHIT THAT YOU BRAID DEAD FUCKS HAVE COME TO BLINDLY ADORE. THE MAN IS AN INTELLIGENT DOCTOR AND ECONOMIST YOU STUPID IDIOT FUCKS!!! THIS IS AN ELECTION FOR THE PRESIDENCY!!! YOU IDIOT FUCKING AIRHEAD ZOMBIES!!!

  • @WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT I feel your pain

  • @WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT u mad bro??

  • @WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT You sound like the typical Ron Paul supporter, just shout your opinion and hope people will care enough.

  • @RonPaulbotsAreMorons I'm not even American. I'll just let you know that all over the world people are laughing at the blind idiots of the States. We can see that Ron is the only hope for you and your country. You have no idea how SHIT your country is now compared to the rest of the world, do you? Just believe your TV and banking Presidents who now want to lock you up for saying something about them.

    Idiots. Your blind pride is sickening. One guy wants to save you. One.

  • @WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT Funny, what country are you from that makes you one to talk? I don't follow a candidate like Paul just because he makes radical campaign promises that are impossible. Ron Paul is a creationist, free marketeer who does not care about social safety nets. Ron Paul would strip our government down to the regulations and rules that we followed in the early 1900's. Minimum wage? Ron Paul says no. Social Security and Medical care for old people? Hell no says Ron Paul.

  • @RonPaulbotsAreMorons your accountname says it all, didn't it? and then nicely taking the moral highgrounds, but hey, thats just another view from an european ...

  • I am not Ron Paul supporter, but i disagree with Cenk. I really think Paul got out of there because of less room, so he got frustrated and left. It's not the lady's fault or Paul's, it was the media and the number of people who were inside that room. I would have done the same.

  • I don't think Ron Paul is wrong at all, Cenk. The media swamped Ron Paul like a mob and then they insinuate with the dumb question that it was Paul's fault and hint that it could be attributed to Paul's "incompetence"? There could have been a lot of reasons why Ron Paul might not have shook her hand. Sorry mate, but as someone who keeps seeing bottom of the barrel questions getting repeated I'd also at some point start getting frustrated.

  • @AdrianGrave What he's saying is that Paul could have handled it better. The question was a fluff piece that could have been handled easily and make him look more down to earth. Instead he flew over the handle.

    It's like Sarah Palin flipping out because she was asked what books she reads.

  • @Derekrife1 Fair enough, I agree that Ron Paul should have definitely handled it politely. But at the same time in my opinion you need to put it into perspective that every question given to him by CNN tries to imply something negative about Ron Paul, or to try instill doubt into people about him. And it was Jesse that flipped out. If he wasn't swamped with people he probably would have had time to shake the girls hand. With that in mind I can forgive Dr Ron Paul. :)

  • Ron Paul supporters are just as bad as Sarah Palin supporters. If it's not hard just fucking answer if you don't want to fine but don't fucking whine about it later.

  • @Menchosaurus All he's had for more than 7 years is Youtube and the Radio. He's only been on TV for the past year or so, and he left MSNBC of his own choice.

  • @Menchosaurus holy shit a spark of light among idiots,refreshing

  • @Menchosaurus why don't you try giving some evidence or examples to support your retarded claims?

  • @TYTISBULLSHIT u mad bruh? :)

  • @Menchosaurus obviously a ron paul tard

  • Dame right Ron Paul is no good for America he is just out for himself.

  • Media is not either covering him or not, it's that media constantly fucks with him. They avoid him when he does something good, and they are constantly on him when they want him to fuck up.

  • @thedude1325

    Hey, there you go. Rather than address the issue, or the opinions and facts that I pointed out, how about you just attack my character, build up several strawmen, and attack claims I never made. There you go! You're doing great!

    You're right about one thing, though: I have ZERO faith in the media. I don't even use faith and neither should you. Faith is the deliberate suspension of logic and reason -- something you're clearly familiar with. :)

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime I wasn't trying to attack you LOL - I was just having some fun and banter with a mate of mine. It's easy to attack you now though, as you don't seem to have a sense of humour. Plus you have a picture of someone with testicles drawn on their chest, which, although funny, is a little bit odd.

  • @thedude1325

    I think you need to re-read what you originally said. You did attack me. You attacked my character. You started attacking arguments and claims I never made. You falsely associated me with issues I never mentioned (strawman). Your entire reply is one huge fallacy.

    Your opinion on my avatar image is irrelevant to the topic -- something you can't seem to stay on.

    Got ignorance? Yes. Yes, I think you do.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime You just proved my point regarding you not having a sense of humour. We are just having some fun on the web, and we don't mean to be insulting. Just lighten up! :)

  • @thedude1325

    You're still doing it. You made a series of idiotic, ridiculous strawman comments -- falsely associated me with things I didn't even mention. You're acting like a prick. But when I call you on it, you have the audacity to tell ME to lighten up. Lol. That's a laugh. Seriously, next time you open your mouth, at least have the common courtesy to stand up for what you do and say. Don't try and backpeddle you little fuckin coward.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime You're proving my point again. You've missed out we were having some fun, so of course I don't think you believe anal probes are implanted by government agents LOL. Now you're getting irate which further proves my point. Lighten up, chubby cheezcake!

  • @thedude1325

    You haven't made any point, idiot. Making false claims about someone, strawmanning them, etc., is not making points at all. I'm not irate. Pointing out your stupidity is not irate. I'm only reading your words and you are clearly antagonistic. This is why I must ignore you now.

    TIP:

    You know how they say that most people are stupid? Someone should tell you: I think you're in that group.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime You did it again! My point is you don't have a sense of humour, and you're proving it. My friend and I are cracking up!

  • @thedude1325

    1) You never made a joke or implied any wit. Therefore, nothing can be humorous.

    2) This is only your defense tactic. It's pathetic.

    And if I had to guess, you're only putting up this transparent defensive tactic because you realize how retarded you are. But that's just my guess.

    Here... have some more rope. Maybe if you keep going, you'll hang yourself.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime LOL you're getting so irate! And you proved it again! I thought you were going to ignore us now?

  • I'm done with this Young Turk idiot ( I mean retard). I used to sort of like your show man....lately been convinced your close to worthless. Its obvious she's prodding him to bring him down in the mainstream (like she's done to him soooooo many times) Talk about the issues bitch.

  • There are several Vids launching a witch-hunt against Ms. Bash, all uploaded by Ron Paul supporters.

    I wanted to post a slightly critical comment concluding journalists should be allowed to ask any question.

    I was surprised that this comment had to be checked and then was not surprised it was ignored.

    Is that the attitude of R. P. supporters?

    Preach freedom, prefer censorship?

    That's ok when they discuss their theories but not when they attack another person and don't allow opposite views.

  • i dont like Ron Paul, cuz hes a Republican. PERIOD!!!

  • this was 24 hours after this same reporter said she would be worried if Ron Paul wins the presidency. On air she said this...

  • Cenk is right. period.

  • rp sucks

  • lol this video has half dislikes just shows that the ron paul supporters cant take a hit or they go mad i have news for u there r some bad things ron paul does too he isnt perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree with the young turks in this case. Don't be a little bitch on simple questions.

  • @playapapapa23 - Its a pattern of negative or ridiculous questions. Why should he respond?

  • @doit420sdf Because, I'm a Ron Paul supporter and not answering a question because he doesn't like it makes him look like a child. Just take the higher ground and answer the question. I didn't like it when Sarah Palin got upset when asked about what magazines she reads and I'm not going to like it when Ron Paul does it just because I want him to get elected. Besides taking the higher ground would probably make him more appealing and earn him more votes.

  • @playapapapa23 - Playing into a smear campaign by Dana Bash after she has officially stated that she is afraid and against Paul, is not going to help him. This is clearly part of a larger pattern of bias. If Paul answered every one of their ridiculous questions, he would himself look ridiculous and that is their intention. The fallacy is that this is somehow new or news.

  • @doit420sdf I see what you mean, but constantly complaining about even the little things doesn't help either. Sometimes you have to choose your battles.

  • The question is why in every interview the reporter should spend half of the time asking these questions:

    1- Are you electable?

    2- Would you run as a third party?

    3- Would you endorse the republican nominee unconditionally?

    to imply that there is no way he can be the republican nominee, & the second half of the time the questions that are tailored to discredit him in another way, while there are more serious questions which should be asked, as they ask Romney and Newt, Like foreign policy & jobs

  • Comment removed

  • @paulrevere1010 you speak the truth my friends cenk can eat a dick!

  • Their reaction to this trivial question was over the top.

    But that's what happens when you NEVER get a fair shake from the media. You are constantly on guard over every single question they ask you.

    How do you not see this Cenk?

    Totally wrong? Maybe. But also totally justified.

  • 1089 dislikes and counting...... All of the alternately witty and simplistic excuses from the Ron Paul apologists makes for funny reading. Between hate clicking the dislike button and quoting Ayn Rand it's easy to see how thin skinned the personal liberty crowd can be. "Bash asked Dr Paul a mean question! " LOL

  • Bullshit. Watch every interview or every time Dana Bash mentions Ron Paul. She trys to slander him every time she speaks to him. She is the only CNN reporter that follows him around so everything going out on CNN goes through her.

  • I noticed the number of likes and dislikes on this video while watching it. I wondered what it could be that could give this video so many dislikes, and then you said "Ron Paul was totally wrong."

    Thats why, and i dont think your like the mainstream reporters who are living in their own delusional newsworld, but your wrong on the fact that he should accept these kind of low attempts, and engage into the interview.

    You noticed yourself, they'll only take that what they can use against him.

  • If you see all the coverage of Ron Paul by Dana Bash you would know she has an agenda and thats to make sure Ron Paul does not win the primary, She said herself she is worried that Ron Paul is going to win. What happened to reporting an unbiased view of the news. And shame on youngturks for not knowing all this. Since when does everyone only report opinions!

  • Cenk, how is this News..?

  • The ONLY thing coming out of Dana Bash's mouth is BS. CENK is clearly wrong, not RP

  • Is this wannabe reporter guy really going to agree with Dana Banks on that?? She was clearly trying to make Paul look bad and has shown in other footage to give clear bias against him...he shouldnt have to take that from that Bitch. Young Turks fail.

  • Citizens react to Dana Bush's coverage

    /watch?v=geQnTX6y07Y

  • ron paul is the one.

  • I agree that their reaction was excessive, but put things into context. Ron Paul is consistently mistreated by the press. There is such a huge effort to suppress the Ron Paul campaign, so their camp may get frustrated at times (they are human) - if you watched the earlier part of the interview, she sets-up the interview by saying that he's popularity is declining...ignoring recent polls that say the opposite. Ron Paul's camp are fed up the deliberate effort to dismiss their important message.

  • @jazzemagic And that's why I personally disliked this vid. TYT doesn't give context here. Out of context, anything can look 'unwarranted and unjustified'. I agree the reaction was aggressive as well, but Cenk implies there's no 'basis for his anger' other than "the MSM hates me". There's more to it than that, and Dana Bash is not a respectable reporter in the least bit. She has shown again and again that she'll do anything to destroy Paul. She's even denying that she stated her 'fears' of Paul.

  • Doesn't matter if it was a dumb question they still should not have responded that way

  • @Sooners4ever25 you're totally right, forget his policies. he didn't handle that interview the way i'd like. Obama 2012

  • He lost a vote because of a handshake? She should vote on issues! That's what's wrong with America. Stupid questions don't require a response....

  • cmon cenk. This was an emotionally provocative question meant to evoke an emotional response rather than understand his political views, the answer is pretty irrelevant. Any self respecting journalist could understand this, which I guess you're not cenk. A question with a similar connotation would have been, "How do you feel about appeasing even the most menial of expectations, such as hand shaking, in order to garner votes from voters who vote for candidates because they looks presidential?"

  • @sophomore903

    don't get me wrong, I'm a huge ron paul fan, but i agree with cenk on this one. yes it was an emotionally provocative question - that's what the media does. he could have handled the situation better. as ridiculous as it is, it's the game he has to play as a presidential candidate.

  • See the look in her eyes at 1:35....

  • that was a dumb question and a waste of time but it could have been handled better by Paul and his camp.

  • dumb b*tch 

  • I don't think is was great question that may make one lean to a different view point at all. It was just dumb but Ron's guy did over react. I also don't see why everone jumping on Cenk for this.

  • If you look back Paul was answering the question until the dude cut him by repeatedly saying "this is junk"...

  • Ron Paul is the only hope we have left.

  • @bigmasterjay No, he's not.

  • It was a STUPID question! I don'tblame Ron Paul for ending the interview! There are WAY more important issues, than some random woman who didn't get to shake his hand!

  • Dana Bash is a media criminal who is trying to sabotage Ron Paul's candidacy with a totally irrelevant and therefore inciteful and irritating question, under the cover of "media objectivity". As such, she would deserve to be tried for treason for harassing a candidate for the President of the US. Cenk Uygur, I'm disappointed that you've got this one wrong.

  • Nobody is commenting on the stupidity of the "voter" in this story. Because she couldn't shake Ron Paul's hand and look him in the eye, he no longer has her vote? What a foolish, stubborn idiot.

  • I'm always against Ron Paul on every video... except this one. CNN's question was retarded. Oh, an average voter was miffed that, in a big crowd, she didn't get to shake his hand and now she won't vote for him? Screw her.

    You should decide for whom to vote based on issues or their character, not on whether they shook your hand or not. Shame on CNN for giving any importance at all to such petty concerns that bring the whole level of the debate down.

  • I disagree with Cenk, i think its a stupid question but i do agree with him on the fact Ron Paul should have just answered the question. How hard is it so say "look it was a very busy day i had dozens of reporters in my face and was unable to get to her." and move on?

    I like Paul but i don't think he handled the (dumb or not) question well.

  • Woman's an idiot, but you've GOT to have a thicker skin than that Ron if you want to run the country.

  • ...really surprised when Cenk says who is in the wrong side...

  • Question for you Cenk: A few of your videos received a lot of downvotes on your Youtube channel; Does this say something about your ability to connect with your viewers?

  • @Bleuski I dont think its an reporters job to cater to his or her audience and make them happy, not even a opinionated reporter like Cenk. What you are are insinuating he should do kind of sounds like a circlejerk

  • @Myth1322 You do realize I was basically just repeating what the reporter in the video asked Paul, right?

  • I think both sides are wrong, on this one. I understand Ron Paul's frustrations towards the stupidity of the question being asked, but to walk away from the interview like that shows a lack of patience that people may love or hate about Ron Paul.

  • Cenk, i'm starting to see a pattern. You're hate for Republicans is blinding you to the truth that Ron Paul is. If you're wondering why you get so many bad ratings on your Ron Paul stuff it's because a lot of us watch TYT because of it's disgust towards our current government. So, naturally because you have a lot of Paul and TYT fans you will get thumbs down(especially when we feel you don't know what your talking about...again).

  • @BoDiggety I don't think that's true. I think Cenk DOES like Ron Paul. He doesn't always agree with him, but he does agree with him on a few things, and in no way hates him. That being said, he isn't afraid to point out the things he doesn't like about Ron Paul and will criticize him when he sees an issue. Now, you may disagree on his rulings/criticisms, but in no way does Cenk hate him. Or at least, that's what I've observed by watching various videos.

  • @BoDiggety Maybe you should try researching your messiah a little more before dropping on your knees to fellate him.
