Chris Hayes: Washington is "Totally and Completely Corrupt"

[dsdsanchez]

Chris Hayes is a traitor.

[SgtSanchez]

@dsdsanchez

A traitor to whom and how so?

[LOVELIFE54]

Chris Hayes .. is in a great place right now with his own show ..I see only great things happening in his future also ..he is very intelligent and is interesting to listen to ..Good Luck .. Chris .

[MissAlyssable]

yes yes comments about america politics yes yes jolly good

but chris hayes is adorable

[Duhitpt]

I bet, our "founding father" down in their grave right now anger with rage, on how their perfect country that they found base on freedom and liberty, every citizen voices was heard, soon to be control by corporation, and those 10% rich people. While other 90% getting their right and freedom strip from them, because of corruption. no wonder our youth not give a damn about politic, and blame our generation of ignorant and stuff. But if there is no CAUSE then there wouldn't be any EFFECT!

[MrGrevy]

Is this the turd who called adherence to the Constitution "Founding Father Fetishism"? Good lord what an effeminate, failed abortion of a man. Disgraceful.

[Ermal8711]

Chris Hayes was right, but the speech has no substance. Unfortunately, this is not Hayes' fault, mainstream media in general prefers concision over a legitimate argument. Whatever can best rile the people up and keep them entertained.

[hotstixx]

its hard to reconcile this impassioned little rant,admirable though it is, with a cosy little "debate" with neocon, reihan salam on another video here.that unfortunate little vignette had all the smug collegiality one expects of establishment liberals,swapping as they did,knowing little smiles and appeasements.have a look out for a debate including chris hedges,salam and others on the death of liberalism and their complicity and enabling of corporatism.

[easmith03]

Chris Hayes looks and sounds like a female version of Rachel Maddow.

[baldrad]

@easmith03 ...hey, no fair. I came here for the SOLE purpose of saying that I like it when Maddow puts on that suit and tie, changes eyeglasses and appears using the name "Chris Hayes". The Maddow role is more macho, what think?

[greg77hot]

he sounds and looks like rachel maddow in drag

[WunderMaus]

Wow, a moment of truth and clarity...

[Tvor1128]

This country is ruled by money.

[lildwayne21]

@Tvor1128 Always has been and always will be. Money makes the world go around

[803brando]

@ title, really? i would have never thought.

[Shmooz09]

Chris Hayes is 100% correct! Where do we go from here and how do we bring "the people's" best interest back to Washington. I don't trust the motive's of either party, let alone a 3rd party!  I'm feeling very frustrated out in the America's vast space outside Washington D.C.!

[carpediemfan]

between Obama and McCain, about 1.5 billion was "donated" to the presidential campaigns. I am pretty sure no one gets 1.5 billion without strings attached.

[MrStickywicket]

hahahah, faggot

[skunkapotamus]

He could have just saved a lot of breath and just said, "jews".

[SuperJoeAnonymous]

Well said by Mr. Hayes.

[ae357em]

The financial elite he is talking about is the Illuminati.

[cmpm439]

The founding fathers had it right. Put faith in people to run their own lives rather than government that will only become more and more corrupt as it grows larger and larger.

[anthonyfoxtrott]

well, i guess i can sit here with the conviction that americans are never going to do anything about this anyway. so, what's the point? just take it.

[cmpm439]

The bigger the federal government grows, the worst the corruption, back room dealing, incompetence, and irresponsibility becomes. Even if someone foolishly believes in Obama and this current crop of Dems, it won't take long for the new kids to become corrupt and lazy or the next administration to use expanded power to enrich family, friends, and preferred corporations while bankrupting the nation. If big business is bad, big government with lawmaking, taxing, and policing powers is far worse.

[romani44]

thank you for articulating the current situation, very satisfying to hear the truth for once

[jiberish001]

OK; who brought their kid to work and let him do the news ?

[johnjohn0701]

well, does ppl trust the government, thats the question, some do, some dont,,, well the point for govt is probably to convince the rest to believe in them so the ppl support their policies or movement....

i really dont in what way should I expand this idea...

[EinsteinvsEisenstein]

Wow, you don't get that kind of honesty on a corporate network "news" show but once every couple years. Kudos to Chris Hayes.

[worldwidetraveler]

@sirfith: what a maroon! o'keefe is a fraud, the video is a fraud, the republican party is a fraud.

[jhaze918]

@worldwidetraveler oh and democrats are so honest and for the middle class right??? lmao they are both jokes...made up to fight against eachother, but inside they are the same...together as one on the same team....they only show us what they want us to see...not whats really going on behind closed doors...its time people start looking past political parties and look at our government as a whole...

[baldrad]

@jhaze918 ..agree with you---Look at gov't as a whole.....make that one Big Black Hole.

[prysmith37]

He speaks the truth. Wall Street has bought and paid for all three branches of our government.

[sirfith]

Is Chris Hayes ever going to correct his false claim on the 01-28-10 Countdown that James O'Keefe did not release a video from the Philadelphia ACORN Office.

@sirfith

[rahollier]

@sirfith Did Fox EVER report that the tapes they aired were so edited as to be completely BULL SHIT? Did they EVER report that calls were made to police after those clowns showed up with their dog and pony show? I think Fox sits backs and laughs at all the morons that watch their programs and actually believe a frigging thing that is reported as "news".

[cmpm439]

@rahollier , do you mean that there was more smoozing before acorn workers tried to help set up underage prostitute rings in america or that they doctored the tape by removing a word or two that would have changed the entire meaning of their answers? did they really say "we will NOT help you" but the uncover team edited the tape to say "we will help you"? If not, you are just defending the indefensible.

[SirAlexNewton]

@rahollier yah fox is almost as bad as msnbc

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@rahollier hey fucktard. this is the most liberal "news" network.....reporting this.. not fox. and btw. fox has the highest ratings of all networks. eventually you will realise. your simply a sheep, and that all the leftie lies will come crashing down on your brain like a landslide.

[uswmsa41]

@Wyndstarthedruid You sound like another conservative who equates ratings to credibility. Such a simply thought process is classic conservative thinking. I guess that is why it is easier to be a Republican. It is a short cut to thinking. And yes, MSNBC is Liberal, and they don't try to hide it. In fact, they do not consider themselves news. Never have. That is not what they are about. They are opinion based shows. Fox regards themselves journalists which is where they lose credibility.

[baldrad]

@uswmsa41 ...and what's most entertaining about MSNPC is their grasp of economics--that of a 5-year old. I'll never forget Screamin' Ed Shultz (on his radio show about two years ago) telling a contractor who called to describe how tough it was to make a buck in this economy: "Can't you just raise your prices?"

And that, folks, is the level of economic illiteracy exhibited by Fat Eddie, Tweety (I tink i hadda thwill up my wegg), Peter Pan, and Amy Goodman trying to play a guy (Olderman).

[baldrad]

@rahollier ...now comes rahollierthanthou to announce that only one network edits tape, and that his source for truth, MSNPC, is above all that.....carry on, rayho--you're killin' us----got some more hysterical one-liners? Dang, you're good.....

[Mtl4us2]

@sirfith;

Pray inform us;what does that has to do with the topic at hand?

You must be new here.

[sirfith]

@Mtl4us2 It shows Chris Hayes can only spout progressive talking points and does not know that a tape from the Philadelphia ACORN Office was released that make his ACORN talking point no longer operative.
