Roland Burris Grilled On 'Hardball' (Part 1)

[thx291]

I'm so glad this opportunistic scumbag is no longer our senator.

[bmoecardinals]

roland burris is a real jerk.

[hdtwoodsman]

Publicly financed campaigns have been successfully conducted at local levels. There is a process to determine how the money is distributed, but the main feature is prevention of pvt campaign funding.

[cloudshe]

does anyone find it amusing that chicago is so corrupt they can't find a kennedy to run for office there?

[cheddyrod]

Does the Democrats or Republicans have more crooks? Are the Democrats and Republicans really the same party and are these people really pretending they are two parties to fool the public into thinking there are 2 parties so they can continue to steal from the public?

[shoes1922]

White folk get away with anything!

- Incest ( most of u)

- Gullible (most of u)

- Physically deficient (most of u)

- during slavery yall got away with all the things ur stating, but ur gonna say we deserved it, so I say "We go to white folk clubs looking for folk like u, that cant wait to be heard talking shit! We put something in yo mouth! We been waiting at our clubs to see u!

[cloudshe]

so how does responding to racism fm some stupid white jerk with racism from some stupid black jerk get this conversation anywhere? you guys need to get a better brain, the one you are apparently sharing is malfunctioning

[shoes1922]

Im just trying to show him that evil is on both sides, but he doesnt seem to notice what is on his side! It figures!

[cloudshe]

comprendo.

[EricDadOf3]

Thank you for posting this for us. I cannot understand how our elected officials in Illinois can justify not moving against Roland Burris. Burris is too stupid to be a Senator and he does not deserve the title.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

So did the FBI tape this looking for crimes?

Did they find any and charge anyone?

Sounds like a media beat up (by this dude with the weird English pronunciation going on!!)

[hdtwoodsman]

There is only one solution to this problem: PUBLICLY FUNDED CAMPAIGNS. That's the ONLY way we're going to get much of this money out of our political system.

[cloudshe]

who decides who gets the money? the democrats are already trying to become the deciders on what's on talk radio. obama wants to decide how to run the financial & auto industries. who in the gummint will decide who gets the political funds???

[cloudshe]

The number one priority of every liberal in power is to facilitate an increase in dumb people. Without that, the franchise would quickly die out. you, tannersanta, are a testiment to this truth.

[tannersanta]

No matter what all U shit for brains conservatives say, OBAMA is STILL YOUR president.

and he is BLACK

and U BELIEVE he is a socialist communist fascist

and the next supreme court judge is a puerto rican and U believe she is racist..

and there is nothing U fucks CAN do for the next four years..HA! So deal with it and DON'T reply to this comment because I DON'T give a SHIT what you FUCKS have to say, so FUCK OFF!

If U ARE a shit for brains conservative then U probably will reply to this comment.

[bmwforsale5]

jeeesh, youre so angry! Youre forgetting that there are lots of Puerto Rican and Black CONSERVATIVES. In fact, the head of the Republican Party is a Black conservative!

[shola69]

Michael Steele mite b conservative who is Black bt more importantly he is dumb!

[redneckfromtexas]

Tanner, if you believe we will have to wait 4 years then you got another thing coming. You libtards are not going to like the 2010 elections.

[tannersanta]

So when are you folks in Texas gonna secede from the States?

[redneckfromtexas]

Never, we like being the most productive state in the US.

[tannersanta]

That's not what the majority of folks in Texas think.

If you dont believe me, type this on the youtube search bar.

"Sovereignty or Secession" Rally in Austin, Texas

Also, check out the videos of the fellows in Texas burning and spiting the US flag.

[shoes1922]

Politicians cant function without dumb people! The day the population isnt dunb anymore is the day politicians can go to hell! But when will a poltician tell u to fire him for the good of the people?

[TuNnL]

You're confusing "liberal" with "Democrat." A lot liberals are highly intelligent INDEPENDENT politicians who don't subscribe to the idea that their voters should put their head in the sand. Case in point: Gov. Jesse Ventura. Look him up.

[cloudshe]

is he still governor? i don't believe he ran for a second term, maybe he should have catered more to the 'dumbed-down' vote

[sparkalish]

I.LOVE.THIS. Excellent Interview Chris! Roland Burris = Illinois Politics

[LuvChaos]

I couldn't agree more, frankiebaby725.

[cloudshe]

1) sorry you folks don't speak jive, burris gave a clear, truthful explaination of how he was placating blogo's criminal intentions and still be considered. too bad it doesn't come across that way to honkies like matthews

2) on the other hand, the poor quality of burris' logic really makes one wonder what the qualifications for US Senator are!?!

[iSAW7]

Yea too bad us white people cant understand english very well. Keep on hustlin', Roland.

[cloudshe]

can't blame the dude for trying, at least he seemed to understand the implications of paying blogo for the seat. i couldn't find any evidence that he was buying in to that BS.

he pretty much refused to raise money for blogo, but still wanted to be picked for the senate job, matthews doesn't get it.

[iSAW7]

He didn't refuse to raise money. He offered to raise it in another mans name. LoL.

[cloudshe]

i think he mearly offered the Excuse that he might try to do that but his partner refused to do it!

burris is a lousy choice for senator (gee, are there any others currently in office?) but he's not a crook in this instance. this crap is being used for other purposes (hardball ratings?)

[emopope]

Ever watch the movie Religulous? He asks that question and the senator answers "Well, you don't need to take an iq test" then giggles like a retard. Its pretty funny, look it up on youtube maybe.

[cloudshe]

Exactly!

[frankiebaby725]

I don't know why his lawyer doesn't gag him, this guy is a theif and a crook. What an underhanded peice of shit.

[LuvChaos]

Burris only came on Hardball in a shameless attempt to put out the fire. There was a time in this country when politicians would resign in disgrace over something like this instead of insulting the public.

[cloudshe]

LC, is it surprising that chicago politics as normal would insult the majority of the rest of the country?

[LuvChaos]

I wonder what you think about the criminals in DC, who are by far the most corrupt sobs around. Lying and insulting the public is considered a non issue in that town.

[cloudshe]

LC, fer shure, DC might win that contest. a shame that freedom of the press doesn't seem to include criticising the MO of many of "our" leaders

[LuvChaos]

Absolutely, cloudshe. It's a little scary to think about where we'll be in 20 years considering how screwed up things are today. LOL

[1776Reborn]

Burris rocks. He accomplished a great lie and got away with it for so long...and is still trying! lol

[Flirmy]

At least Burris has the balls to come on a show like hardball and defend himself. Most politicians would be laying low right about now

[ralexand56]

Actually it sounds like Burris is telling the Gov. no he can't do it because it would look bad. The most incriminating part though is him saying that a friend of his could do it.

[philosopher2king]

Burris is such a pathetic idiot.

[LuvChaos]

This guy is history. He sounds like Blago with all that double talk crap.
