  • I am sorry I used to like your videos but as time progressd you came off as more and more biased towards the Democrats as a person who believes firmly in not being married to a political party I have to say I will no longer support you until you show un biased political stances and start repoting real news again.

  • Actually I thought the straw that broke that war's back was States' Rights

  • I'm french & I paid 387euros(approx 450$) a year for college 3 years in a row.. thats a public college of course, private ones can reach 6000 euros per year. The thing that makes me interested & study US's politics so much is that it's so crazy favouring the rich that french and european elites are DYING to do the same thing here. The day we'll have to pay thousands of dollars for tuition in public college is the day I'll start the 2nd french revolution for real man

  • 17:50 "what the fuck?!?!?!?!" so damn classic.

  • I looove coming to visit America, it's one of the best places to stay for a 2-3 week period, but man, I'm really glad I don't live there. Give me socialism over crony capitalism ANY DAY.

    Hugs from Norway.

  • Make them say why they preferred the confederacy. Make them make their case and let people see what they really think.

  • American already is China's b1tch economically-wise and everyone knows it. By 2030 they will be the world's largest economy if they can keep their pace. The only thing that can really help the US is a fundamental election reform, a huge new program to tackle corruption and a reasonable tax policy that shifts the incentive to producing goods instead of producing wealth on the financial market without counter value. But the US is too blind to see...unfortunately.

  • Cenk! Is the CNN poll re. the Civil War and slavery because of people like Rush, Hannity and their ilk? Where does it come from???

  • Yes, Europeans let's stick together. Great to this from a British! Time to wake up Europeans! America is doomed and everyone knows this. China had about the 5 times of the export to the US than vice versa and about the 3 times of the export to Germany than vice versa for the last decade. With the trillions of surplus that they have been horting, they buy dollars to keep the Yuan low. Imagine they sold that at once. The US economy would be dead, the dollar would shake its hand with Zimbabwe.

  • Even the tuition in Canada is nothing compared to the States, most programs are around 5000 dollars for Canadians.

  • Concerning the Kobe story, maybe he just doesn't give a shit about offending people. If I offend people because a group decided that they find a specific word offensive, then that's how it is. They can take it personally if they want, but if it even bothers them at all it just means that they're thin-skinned and think there's something wrong with being the way the offensive word says they are.

    I freaking hate people who can't get over being insulted. Feel offended, so what? That's life wimp...

  • The bankers mortgage scam is one of the biggest frauds in history. Is it being investigated ? I guess not.

  • I believe that Cenk is in some form of denial. I refuse to believe that he doesn't know that Republicans and Democrats alike work for the globalists. This political saga is playing out like a stage play. Democrats talk democratic but act like Republicans, like you said; while Republicans talk like Republicans and act like Tea-Party members.

  • Those civil war numbers don't surprise me at all. Republicans like slavery. Half of so called independents really aren't - they always vote for Republicans or blue dog Democrats. The blue dog Democrats are racists, obviously.

  • jamie dimon needs to go sit on a pitchfork

  • Belgium doesn't even have a government right now lol. nevertheless, sometimes i wish canada would be more like belgium when it comes to worker's rights, education, etc...I was born in belgium but my parents moved to canada when i was 2. I'm just glad they didn't decide to go to the US.

  • and Belgium has the best BEER!!!!!!

  • @CigarStudLasVegas Don't be pathetic. You sound like some hillbilly from a small town in Finland.

  • @mrteemumilto that comment makes no sense - what the hell does hilbillies and beer have to do with Finland; and I think it is pretty well established that some of the very best beer comes from Belgium! but you have probably never been there!

  • Cenk is epic from 16mins to 18mins, lol. I was laughing so hard at his reactions.

  • I'm going to go with my whole history degree thing and still say its state rights. Slavery is not broad enough. The whole tariff thing was a larger concern to the south than slaves. Now, in the north slaves was a larger concern but if you combine both tariff and slavery in amounts of pissed off people those fall under the umbrella of state rights. So slavery isn't the wrong answer but its not the complete answer.

  • People should be able to swear. I dont care about athletes etc. But it should be ok for them to swear. But on the same token it should also be ok for the people that employ him to not like it and to punish or fire him for it.

  • Kobe Bryant is absolutely right, just like Micheal Richards was in the heat of the moment and frustrated at the hecklers when he shouted the N word....wait a minute, no that's...that's a retarded excuse for homophobia

  • The Kobe thing is ridiculous. People use that word in the heat of frustration all the time, and now Kobe uses it and makes a big fucking deal about it. Kobe was completely right in his apology. He obviously didn't mean it, people know that, and he has no reason to apologize..

  • how y'all gonna say he "he got away" with raping that bitch? I guess you were in the room. That broad was suspect as fuck from day 1 but I guess a nigga had to have raped a white bitch.

  • be my bitch.i love cenk

  • "was it the f word part, or the fucking part?" When did faggot become worse than fuck lol. People are so dumb, they're just words.

  • @Neeks4215 The word faggot is used to terrorize millions of people into suicide across the United States... It is definitely worse than "fuck"

    "They're just words" do you go around calling black people niggers without blinking an eye? after all "it's just a word" or you accept that words have meanings, some of which are offensive to certain groups of people.

  • I'm busted lol

  • ...The Civil War was over the color choice between Gray and Blue..

  • ..Maybe the GOP wants another bubble and economic crash , "Disaster Capitalism" is very profitable...

  • 20:38 good music!

  • People over-react; the gays and lesbians need to grow thicker skin. It's just a fucking word. It's weakness. Such weakness.

    LGBT doesn't deserve an apology. I'm sure many of them weren't even watching the game. I was, but I missed Kobe's comment.

    Is he being fined for FCC violations? Is the referee gay? Was it harassment?

    "Sticks & stones...", AND words also hurt these people. What ever happened to becoming stronger? Don't allow words to hurt you; that is pathetic in my eyes.

    No willpower.

  • It's a good time to be a Republican.

  • 17:50

  • That poll is honest, I'm glad people can finally see how much hate still exists in this country. We never talk about it and if 1/5 sympathize with slave owners there is a HUGE disconnect that we haven't addressed. But of course we won't start now. Only in America can you attack woman's rights while at the same advocating owning people, in some twisted way it doesn't surprise me.

  • Ana, I love you but if you're gonna say "faggot" you might as well have said "fuckin'" as well. :P

  • wow JR very gooood point over CB comment.

  • 20% of Dems WTF? that's it I am done with the fucking Dems that made me fucking sick I want to find those idiots and slap them in the face. I never was a Dem or a Rep. but now I see just how fucked up the two party system is. I have always said that the it does not matter if you go left or right you still end up in the same place, but this? WTF? this is bullshit.

  • @RealityGrapple who doesn't like him? Shaq, who is a total ass himself? Other than that, all of his teammates and also all-Star and fellow American National Team players say that he is not who he might seem on TV sometimes, that he's a good guy. He doesn't even get mad that much, i mean really, Kevin Garnett called 1 player a "cancer patient", that for me > fag

  • I bet if Kobe did actually apologized, it would be at the gay community but probably not for the referee.

  • Yeah I guess I'm taking it too seriously, it's just words right? That NIGGER can say faggot he wants, right?

    Right??....

    Free speech cuts both ways mr Kobe.

    ***It's not a term I actually use, just making the painful point.***

  • what happened to free speach? ok he said the "f" word, get over it and quit being such a FAG!

  • obviously Ana hasnt seen the "faggot" episode of south park. most people who say faggot are not really referencing gay people...

  • @sofaking1111 My parents are from a small rural town where a boom-box is referred to as 'nigger-box', just out of old habits. As a kid, we moved to a major city. Our new neighbors were black, were having a garage sale. I randomly asked the dad "are you selling a nigger-box?". I had no idea what the word meant, but I saw his reaction and quickly understood it was a hurtful word.

    Even though the word 'meant nothing' to my kid-brain, I stopped using it out of common RESPECT. Fool.

  • @artmachine2008 wooooooow. nigger has no where near as much disrespect as fag or faggot. take a history class...fool.

  • I thought the main reason for the civil war was the Federal Bank

    The same bank that today causes massive financial problems

  • Thumbs up if you want cenk and ana back in the same studio!!!

    MSNBC, hire Ana!!!!!!!!

  • Imagine the shitstorm if a "passionate" referee had called Kobe a nigger.

  • They have the Senate and the Presidency, I don't understand how they can't figure this shit out.

    Even if they can't pass any legislation, they can stonewall the shit out of anything the Republicans come up with.

    It's a complete embarrassment.

  • Does anyone actually like Kobe? He raped a girl for god's sake! Of course he is not going to apologize for being a bigoted asshole.

  • @MRmattconnell You actually believe that he raped that chick in Denver??? Seriously, you all need to get real. Certain chicks go after sports players for their fame and money. You need to get your head outta the ground and pay attention to the world. Kobe IS an asshole but not a rapist.

  • @soccerdude601 No, He fucking raped her and got away with it and everyone knows it but people don't seem to give a shit because he is good at football.

  • @MRmattconnell Sports knowledge fail or typo.

  • @MRmattconnell You obviously don't know sports (basketball NOT football) or the court system. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty by your peers? I guess smearing works. So question. Did Assange rape that chick too? If not, that means you have a bias against athletes.

  • @soccerdude601 Kobe was actually guilty. That's the difference. He just paid his way out of it. Assange's case had NO evidence against him at all. That's like saying OJ did it. We all know he didn't and that's why he was found innocent.

  • Great analysis, Cenk!

  • I am uber worried about Cenk. Please tell me he is doing some sort of mediative or some sort of yoga...I mean, I understand why he is pissed...hell I am pissed. The whole confederacy bullshit-ticks me off as well and the state of our country/.

    Heck I am going to Belgium! Whose with me?

  • @fifthmiracle2874 save yourself a trip and learning languages, just come up a few hundred miles ^.-

  • "hey man,thats my butterfly" "wanna fight about huh,yankee?"

  • Dude.. I am really worried about Cenk...I have never ever seen him this angry...I really hope he is doing yoga or some sort of meditation or something. I too, totally understand his frustration...we are in a world full of idiots and so few logical people.

  • so can we call u yank from now on??

  • I've never seen Cenk so pissed. I can understand why though, Some people are seriously ignorant... Scary ignorant.

  • clean elections = ban all political contributions from corporation, lobbyists, unions the whole lot

  • How stupid so many of us are. If you think a word is an insult, such that you USE it as one, then of COURSE you think it is something negative. So if you use "faggot" as an insult, it means you think it's insulting to be gay. Obviously. Idiot.

  • What happened to freedom of speech? Kobe can say whatever the fuck he wants and nobody has the right to tell him otherwise or threaten him with fines or any other kind of pressure.

  • A big part of the sympathy for the Confederates comes from people who romanticize them, or who assume slavery would have been abolished anyways as time passed.

  • "you're gonna get democrats who talk like democrats but act like republicans. You're gonna get republicans who, heh, you know, both talk and act like Attila the Hun"

    Quote of the day!!

  • I'm from Belgium, and these things are the reason why i'm happy that i'm not an american. When i watch this show i get so mad about things that happen in america, just because they have an effect on us too.

  • @theomgkiller so true..

  • @theomgkiller I agree it sad that America is so selfish and doesn't realize that our actions affect the entire world. As an American I will I am sorry.

  • @theomgkiller I'm british and I know exactly what you mean, long live the EU!

  • @TheSmashedPumpkin well u know the EU is actually built so that it can't never be a strong, democratic, independant entity. Besides a quick look at its Constitution tells you "capital-socialism", a happy marriage between free market & government regulations is to be nipped in the bud everywhere it exists. It just doesn't divide society enough between rich & poor and makes social darwinism looks too silly for our plutocrat elites

  • I love how flippantly he dismisses all the other reasons for the civil war.

  • @cockroach2 He isn't dismissing them, he's pointing out that slavery was a huge underlying issue. Many of the reasons for the Civil War are based in slavery and many aren't, but if anyone doesn't think slavery was a primary reason then they need to retake history class.

  • @cockroach2 Do you also love how flippantly ignoramuses dismiss SLAVERY as the main reason for the civil war?

  • @aaronsande I don't think you know what flippant means.

  • @cockroach2 Perhaps you do not. It means off-hand, or with little consideration.

    Perhaps your point is poorly stated?

  • 17 months AFTER the start of the war.

  • were fired.

    This is why that if you were to go back in time and ask soldiers why they fought for their seceeded state, many of them would answer with something along the lines, "because I felt my country needed me when it was invaded by the vile damn yankees."

    again though. Yes, slavery did play a part in determining which states would be entered into the union as a slave state or a free state. But slavery didn't really play a part until the signing of the emancipation proclamation. A full

  • they felt that with a republican president elect, it would only be detrimental to southern ideals and not just where slavery is concerned.

    But the primer for the war came from Massachussettes.

    Despite popular belief of the first shots being fired at Fort Sumter, as Union troops started to make their way north during the preambles to the war, they started to go through Baltimore, the 6th Massachussettes were attacked by prosecessionists. Rocks and other things were thrown and soon shots

  • Wrong Cenk.

    This si something I'g going to have to disagree with you on.

    Yes, slavery was a major part of the war and yes, when you do some research, it played a huge part in winning the war for the north and not just in manpower either.

    but when you get down to the bare essentials, you have to look to Massachussettes for the answer.

    When states started seperating from hte union, they did so because with their states being primarily democratic and congress being primarily republican,

  • @GojyotheFeared cenk isnt wrong he is right it has everything to do with slavery even if you think of it as just property its still slavery and to say other wise is wrong and horrible and stupid

  • @kazooga1234

    No, it's not stupid.

    If you had even bothered to read my full posts, you'll see the truth right there.

    Or even look it up for yourself.

    Not once did the South fight for slavery, even AFTER the Emancipation Proclaimation.

    In fact, most of the soldiers fighting in the south didn't even have a slave. Many couldn't even afford their own shoes.

  • @GojyotheFeared yes it is stupid for you to say other wise and i had a good teacher that didnt give the other reasons really they said this is the main reason and these are other things that went with the main reason and the main reason is slavery and if you think other wise you are a moron and the ones that didnt have slaves wanted to have slaves some day and that is something i learned in my history class the american dream was to own property slaves where/are property

  • JR and Ana, you know why Kobe's case is fucked up? Because i can bet you, every basketball game there are at least 2 instances of one player sayin "f*g" to another players. This is newsworthy just because it is Kobe. People always hate on Kobe, either love or hate

  • @RealityGrapple their show is so shitty you just watched a 30 minute extended clip. god, i fucking hate humans.

  • You pay even less tuition in Germany

  • cenk i feel like you are so full of yourself. u always say "yea i was right all along" ok....if we were watching your show we would know that you were right. we dont need reminding. heres an ego cookie for you. chow down.

  • @daishi001 lol yeah but its only been posted up for several minutes

  • Ezra Kleins Blog: It looks like the $38.5 billion in cuts will be more like $20-25 billion when all is said and done.

  • Obama- The republican president of America.

  • @SniperWalrus yes, and he's not even the most successful republican yet...Bill Clinton still holds that title. I would love to get a true progressive in the White House

  • 27 views, lowest number i've ever seen on a TYT clip.

  • so sad to learn the the early republican party was suspicious of business, religion and their mortal enemies the federalists.

  • could it be possible?!

    YEAH;THE FIRST!!!
