  • Nikki Halley fuck yeahh!!!!

  • Im a Dem and I disagree with EVERYTHING she says. But lets be honest here. She is HOT! LOL

  • Nikki Haley's budget by far the most costliest for South Carolina.Some,tea party candidate she is, boo..!!!

  • The candidates personality, policies and merit are the only deciding factors in public office

  • I'm cynical enough to think the Republicans are simply doing what they have to; to survive.

    And look at it from the perspective of a white racist; if you can get black people to do the de-segregating of schools for you, it both strengthens your argument and gets your own personal "boy" doing things like that to his own people.

  • Lunatic race baiters. You dont get tired of that crap? The GOP freed the slaves and ended segregation.

  • @texaslocoman1 back when they were progressive :)

  • How can someone be black and conservative? Abolishing slavery and the civil rights movements were liberal movements.

  • @53prime Actually the Republicans were the ones that fought to end slavery. Lincoln was a Republican

  • @szelle63 that's all well and good, but that happened over a century ago when Republican and conservative weren't regarded as synonyms. :)

  • @53prime By that time they were. Republicans during the civil war was made up of conservatives, look it up

  • @szelle63 You can't be that stupid, you do know that back then Republicans were not the conservative party.

  • @szelle63 yea but they had different ideals back in the day

  • @53prime And it was Southern Democrats who instated the Jim Crow laws and fought till the end to deny Blacks equal rights.

  • Haley is now our governor, not because she is a woman nor for her race, but because WE LOVE freedom from government and she represents that! Come on down to SC and you will see that we also love each other - black, white, tan. It's all good! Don't believe the media when it comes to the south or the conservative party. We love our freedom and will come together as a people to protect it.

  • @wowoak

    Have you ever heard of the Southern Strategy?

  • @Eckostream I think you should check your facts. The economy crashed because of the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the 2 wars; and regulators getting stoned with bankers and taking bribes instead of actually regulating.

  • A little nervous MOONBATS! Polls are show a D E B A C L E on the way in Nov! BOO FRIGGIN HOO!! HAHHAH! HAHAHHAH! Tooooooooooo funny!! BYE BYE DEMS! BOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

  • Search: THINGS REPUBLICANS HATE

  • Fuck you Cenk...her country is not India. Don't drag my country (India) into this. India doesn't have any horse in this race. Good luck to South Carolina, to the Americans with their domestic election, their internal affairs and may whichever candidate is good for the USA win.

    FYI: India does not allow dual citizenship (and I think that's a smart idea for every country) so stop with the term "Indian-American". Keep us out of this.

  • @Mrparrot73 In America when someone says "Indian American" or "African American", it refers to their race, not where they were born. So no need to snap at Cenk for that (Cant believe Im defending Cenk! lol)

  • @calimar28 "Indian" is not a race...its a nationality.

  • @Mrparrot73 Not to us.

  • @calimar28 If you consider "Indian" to be a race, rather than a nationality, I guess you will say that America is at war with "India", because America IS really at war in Afghanistan and has committed acts of aggression in Pakistan. You really want to say that?

  • @Mrparrot73 Pakastanis are...Pakastani. Afghans are Afghani...too us. You see, to us southren conservatives (most of us), Indians, although darker skinned like Afgahns, are different than Afgahns. Most are Hindu, not Islamic. India is very productive, unliek Afghanastan. Indians seem more peaceful, less likley to blow up a crowded market. A very tolarable race. Many of us dont have much problem with them immigrating here. Unlike the Africans or Hispanics for example.

  • Full credit to the GOP for seeing beyond race. What irritates me actually, is Haley being called "Indian-American". Niki Haley is an American. Why are TYT dragging my country (India) into this? Its a domestic American election, contested by Americans over American issues. India and Indians have nothing to do with Niki Haley... or whoever is winning or losing in the Republican or any other American party.

  • I didnt see anyone "yelling insults at the black congressmen" that was racial. Where was this? Any video to back that up?

  • Us whites are losing power!!!

  • @N1CKL337 There are two non-white races that are great. One is the "orientals" (Chinese Japanse etc), who are very inventive and industreous (espically the Japs). The other ones are the Indians from India. They are also creative and hard working, somewhat industrious as well. So as a white I dont mind seeing a Nicky Haley at all as a governor, or even a president.

  • Time to get rid of these lefties!!!

  • Cenk is a useless liberal idiot

  • Why does her race matter?

  • Keep pushing that fake left/right paradigm Cenk. You're a slave.

  • So the "Tea Party" is the new third party in American politics?

  • @GnosticQuasar They wish. They're republicans saying what republicans aren't allowed to say.

  • But the news people told me that Republicans think women should be in the kitchen and that they wouldn't elect poeple of Muslim descent......My head hurts

  • @Da55Moose she isn't of muslim descent she is of Sikh descent, do you know anything dumbass! Sikhism and Hinduism are closely related, Islam is a monotheistic faith

  • There were no racist signs in the tea party, so Cenk lied about that! Also, Strom Thurmond was labled a racist, but if you check his record he clearly wasn't one. However democrap Bobby KKK Byrd was the ultimate racist wearing a white sheet over his head. TYT is a joke and is totally in the bag for Obow, who is the absolute worst jerk ever and needs to be removed immediately if only to save the dem party of liberal misfits.

  • @ObowMao666 wtf..no racist signs in the tea party?! where were you, under a rock?

  • It is nice to see credit given where credit is due. Nice job, TYT

  • The Tea Party people actuallly love Negro candidates & prefer them over whites.

  • @DillonDee1

    shut the fuck up and kill your self racist hahaha your president is brown bitch

  • UNITY :D 

  • The Republican Party is headed towards annihilation; non-white women and non-white people usurping the white men! #LOL

  • @BobbyPuun Can I help, there's a catch; I'm white?

  • @BobbyPuun in this day and age its not all about race anymore, they hate the lower class in general. dont get wrong im sure they got a little extra hate in their heart for the minorities.

  • I don't care who they are and what they do (sex scandal wise, illegal stuff is a no-no to me) but as long as they aren't bought by corporations. But even if the house gets cleaned and we get rid of the incumbents, how easy will it be for the newcomers to be bought? That's the thing that concerns me the most.

  • @disenchantedgrl Than, trow them out more often and bring a third major party to get more competition in American politics. Even bring more representation if you need to.

  • Glad the Haley made it just to piss off the rednecks.

  • How are them polls looking Dems!! HHAHAHHA! BYE BYE HOUSE! Obama is at his LOWEST approval ever! HAHAHHH!

  • @mgallant01 Which is still over double that of Bush's :p

  • Boxer and Pelosi must get out. California lacks progressive leaders.

  • Democrats are the one who drove up this enormous deficit, weakned our national security and let all these terrorist attacks happen, and their the ones who have caused so much division in American society. We'll attack from the right, and the most helpful thing the left could do for America is just stop doing anything, and start supporting America.

  • @tehant1liberal Check your fact... Your economy is crashing because of those 2 Wars you're into, witch both started under Bush... 9/11 Happen under Bush as well...

  • @EckoStream

    If you think the economy started to go down because of 911, your dead wrong, it started in 1913 and is a large sequence of events including the destruction of currency and illegal wars.

  • @EckoStream Ask yourself the obvious question? If it is the 2 wars, wouldnt stopping them completely create positive momentum? Question #2 If the answer to question 1 is yes, then why doesnt Obama end them? There are answers to both questions if you search for them.

  • As an independent, Cenk builds credibility by throwing the odd bone to conservatives – his natural enemy.

  • bigotry goes both ways. everybody should keep that in mind the next time you label half of the country as racist.

  • NEWSFLASH! This just in...the vast majority of Americans, and republicans for that matter, are not racist????

    Many have been quick to label conservatives or anybody who disagrees with Obama as racist, simply because a few knuckleheads at a stupid tea party opened their pathetic mouths.

  • haha rag head. I don't understand the republicans but I do know that black people are bad and obama is a fucking nigger. yeah saying this feels better then tryng to deal with you

  • Well with the laws happening in Arizona, it still appears that they still dont know how important our Latino vote is. Like George Lopez once said "You cant win a fucken pie eating contest without the Latino Vote"

  • Cenk.

    Thanks for the nice comments regarding the Republican primaries.

    I know that you are bitting your lip, in that a woman of India heritage won, as did a guy who, as I understand it, is, unlike Obama, 100% Black.

    Now,

    how's that oil thing going for Obama? And,

    pretty neat that George Bush's General Patraeus, (or Goerge Soros {leader of the liberal party], General Betray Us), has now been hired by Obama, no?

  • @bobbytiger It's the 21st century and the conservatives' main claim to fame today is "we're not THAT racist any more, honest."

    Well done folks, well done.

  • @megamarsvin

    Thank you.

  • @bobbytiger Welcome, you earned it ;)

    By the way other than pointing fingers at Obama (which by now should be second nature) what have the conservatives done or suggested to solve the crisis? I mean besides the heartfelt and much deserved apology to BP of course?

  • @megamarsvin

    Now there you go again, wanting me to give away the conservatives strategy to combat the misplaced oil.

    But, in the event we don't all drown in the "black gold", you might just find out in 2012 when Obama shamlessly acquiesces to the voters, and limps off into the proverbial sunset, never to be seen again.

    Your boy, (again, not a racial remark), & his "approval rating" is so low,

    that a singer in the bass section couldn't hit a note that low.

  • @bobbytiger Give away? So they have a solution but they're hiding it for political reasons? I mean conservatives putting politics before the lives of American citizens, that part doesn't surprise me, but having a creative thought, that's amazing.

    As for "my boy", Obama is nothing of the sort. He's no Bush but considering what he's been up to so far he may as well be a Neocon. I'm amazed every day that conservatives don't like him, considering he has continued nearly all of Bush's pet projects.

  • @bobbytiger Yeah, it sure makes Obama look foolish having to clean up the mess that was the direct result of deregulation of the oil industry that took place under W.

  • @wesjay9376

    Nothing says that Obama has to keep the same policies that George W. Bush had.

    As an example, Obama closed GITMO, right?

    Ok, bad example, but you get my drift.

  • @bobbytiger I agree that Gitmo should be closed but my point is that before you criticize Obama or anyone on an issue you should be aware of the whole situation.

  • @bobbytiger General Petraus was already working for Obama. Before taking over Afghanistan, he was in command of CENTCOM, in otherwords, both Afghanistan and Iraq. In a way, Petraus was kind of demoted.

  • The Indian Republicans that you see are, from what I understand, descended from the upper caste in India. Their ideologies and lack of compassion is still strong.

  • Cenk said "we saw them (tea partiers) hurling insults at the black congressman" - FAIL - no proof any such thing happened, even though breitbarr offered $100k reward for a recording of the N word being hurled at the CBC. Yet Cenk still believes this lie. Going to and from the capital building the CBC had two cameraman recording their procession, plus innumerable camera phones and other recording devices.

  • @megagagnon1

    What you may not understand,

    is that Liberals are kinda like Pavlov's dogs.

    You say, (or do), something enough times, (like saying for instance...."T Party people are racists"), and liberals believe it. Even though, as you correctly pointed out, it didn't happen. But,

    liberals, unfortunately, so badly want it to happen.

  • U know i would actually have some respect for Nikkie, IF she wasnt backed by Palin.

  • Proof that Republicans will elect anyone, no matter age, race, or sex, as long as they're conservative (and probably crazy).

  • @MagnesDrachen13 This coming from member of Al Franken's party.

  • @TheNativist Yes, progress is such a pain...

    By the way, I'm not a democrat either. They both suck, but I'll call bullshit when I see it.

  • good on you Cenk for not having partisan biasness on reporting this story as both houses need to be cleaned therolly of the establiment candidates. nicely done.

  • I dont care about their ethnicity. I dont even care how conservative they are. All i care about is if they're owned by corporate america. I liked they cleaned house.

  • WHY is is that someones religion becomes a huge factor and yet we have a so called separation of church and state???

  • AHAHA!

    so now the tea party people aren't all racists and loons paid off in donuts to hold up signs at protests?

    LOL at this lazy yapping leftwing fuckhead turk, it turns out they actually vote.

    even a major kick in your progressive balls like Scott Brown's epic win didn't seem to shake the ignorance of these liberal SCUM.

    come Nov. you idiot do nothing whiney progressive vermin are gonna be stuck with easily defeatable establishment democrat candidates.

    HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

    EPIC FAIL!

  • @frictionRx5

    He can actually congratulate republican candidates and governors whereas you just insult them. Who's the fuckhead now? Your comment just proves your stupidity

    kthxbai

  • Non-White Republicans: Stepping on the fingers of those coming up the ladder behind them.

    Think of Uncle Ruckus running for government, it appears to be progress; but everything that he stands for is NOT progressive.

    I could take a book and rip off the cover and put another cover on it and a whole different crowd will look at it and say they want to read it. But those who are intelligent and don't "judge a book by its cover". Maybe I am asking too much of people.

  • America SPENDS 1.8 TRILLION DOLLARS ON WARS, SPYING, SECRET PROJECTS & PENTAGON EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

    And The Corporate-Brainwashed Fucks-News-Puppet Tea Party Zombie Cult NEVER MENTIONS THAT, WHEN THEY TELL GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE SPENDING.

    America has 800 Military Bases Worldwide and America has given more than 3 TRILLION dollars to Israel since the 50s but the Corporate-Neocon-Zionist Tools Tea Party Stays Quiet.

    All Tea-Partiers are supposed to be Anti-War Anti-Corruption Pro-3rd-Party Members.

  • @halcyon0830 how in the hell do you know what is being spent on secret project

  • @halcyon0830 When I see some Moron like you use the term Neocon, I stop reading.You're REALLY gonna have a Hyssy fit after November Missy!

  • @halcyon0830 Thanks for the great info,but 'tea party cult sounds a bit over the top. what did you call them before?,and were are they now?.

  • Republicans are so mind-numbingly ignorant and subservient, they'd probably vote for any candidate Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh told them to. I suspect the GOP leadership is secretly coaxing their supporters into voting for candidates who make the Republican Party appear more diverse than it actually is.

    In the end, though, a Republican is a Republican no matter what the color of their skin.

  • @edgeninjait is your ignorant that shows here. dealing in absolutes and discriminating based on beliefs showsthat you are a fool

  • @peteymandem Funny. Dealing in absolutes and discrimination is something that your party has excelled at for the last half-century.

  • @edgeninja you have no idea what party i belong to so get your facts straight. and you're just deflecting.

  • @peteymandem Actually, I could tell immediately from your attempt to insult me using poor grammar and spelling that you were a Republican. And FYI, the word is "projecting".

    Fail.

  • @edgeninja no its deflecting, you're ignoring an issue I raised and attacking me instead. and no i'm not a republican, i also haven't misspelt any words. clutching at straws with the spelling argument, nice work

  • @peteymandem Oh right, Republicans like to call themselves libertarians and "independents" now. My mistake.

  • @edgeninja you are unbelievably dumb. you seem to think their are only two political parties in the world

  • @peteymandem And once again you prove you're just an illiterate right-wing jackass who trolls liberal YouTube channels (probably from his parents' basement) in a desperate cry for attention.

  • @edgeninja how exactly have i proved that? i'm subscribed to the young turks because they have good stories. you are the fool who only knows two political parties, you are the fool who has done nothing but personal insults. you are the one who is so ignorant and egotistical that you think because of your political view you are smarter than everyone else. you;re smug, get over yourself

  • She's pretty.

  • @DadidiWTF ya shes not bad looking but beauty doesn't equal brains. Palin is a good looking women herself but she is a epic failure of the highest proportions and would be a total disaster for America if she was actually elected to office again. I say If you vote for someone just because they look pretty or whatever you should have your arms chopped off so you can never vote again. Same thing gos for teabaggers. They should be castrated so they cannot breed another generation of racists.

  • @DadidiWTF I'd hit it.

  • Republicans are pathetic. they will do whatever they can to try and get elected. when the people liked Hillary they went out and got Palin. When we voted in Obama they got Michael Steele to head their party. Now they are trying to run women and minorities to try and get a vote. I wouldn't give Republicans credit for this at all. This is the peoples fault. Humans are so politically uneducated and short minded they already forgot its the Republicans fault we are in this mess in the 1st place!

  • @MClown69 the people never liked hilary

  • @peteymandem You don't remember when Obama won the nomination and all the women were pissed off because Hillary didn't win? they were threatening to vote republican and everything. Its the only reason McCain picked Palin in the 1st place. Otherwise she would still be a nobody!

  • @MClown69 maybe but there was no chance obama would lose

  • @peteymandem I voted for him.

  • @MClown69 yeah see

  • Christian politicians? who are they trying to fool? HA!

  • I'm glad republicans are kicking out bailout supporters.

  • No mater your sex or race if you are a republican you fail.

  • Obama watch out, he wanted to work with republican and he snubbed the liberal democrats and he got nothing form the republican.

    Now if the Republican win the house they will impeach him at the very first mistake. I mean these impeach Clinton because of a BJ, can you imagine what they do to a Black Man who is a pseudo liberal?

    Remember Limbaugh and Hannity said that the Sesta job offer was an impeachable offense an dthey are teh Bosses of teh Party.

    They are Salibating

  • but the people the Republican are nominating are more for the Big business than the one they are replacing. we are going back to Segregation if these people win.

  • Just a thought that came to mind. Why do Indian Americans seem to need to distance themselves as much as possible from their own heritage or religions? The same thing goes for Bobby Jindal.

  • As a black teen living in Charleston SC, my father keeps on telling me that true progressive leaders will probably not be elected in his lifetime. I'm just hoping my state will be smart and vote for Vincent Sheheen as governor of our state. If not we are just going to continue to have Sanford 2.0 running our state the way it has been for years. I wouldn't even care if she won anyway, I am out of this place in four years.

  • Good to see the establishment politicians getting voted out. Hopefully the democrats can follow suit.

  • the thing is the bailouts (at least some of them) were necessary to prevent a collapse of the financial system. its the financial regulation and taxation that should have followed them but didn't that has been the scandalous thing. so while its good corporatists are being kicked out, the actual reasons for it are none too clever. stupid republicans.

  • damn! You cant get more biased than the TYT...

  • For some reason i dont trust it.Why are republicans all of a sudden electing females and minorities?Pretty shady to me.

  • @ripwavez

    So people do not call them racist. You know, like they actually did not used to be?

  • @ripwavez So they can pull the sexist card duh ;). The race card has been so effective with the democrats the past couple years. Now they just need to find a female who's jewish, black, and lesbian and they'll go further than ANY other politician has ever gone.

  • @ripwavez they are looking for these kind of people to give a less old white fat cat bastard look to the party.. the simple minded think the republicans are representative of the general population but are controlled by the same people that control the old farts

  • @ripwavez They're just using them. There is a sinister motive behind this.

  • @ripwavez to play the victim.

  • @ripwavez Conservatives use colorblind politics to hide the large amount of racism in their political movement; including electing politicians of color who often have internalized white supremacist views of society. The delusion of inclusion ;)

  • @ripwavez Why don't you trust them? Is it because of the hyperbolic fear mongering, the prejudiced nazis, or the elitist silver spoon babies who are too good to share their country with filthy immigrants? Guaranteed that if a gay man or woman ever wins all their candidates will become homosexuals proving that republicans are hypocritical pieces of shit.

  • @ColJ2 Michael Steele!

  • @ripwavez You are still thinking along party lines. Decolonize your thinking.

  • @ripwavez Same tactic that they tried using with Michael Steele... I'm with you.

  • So much for dem racists though, huh? Stoop to the lowest common denominator, your grass is ass. :)

  • @barrywaynehill Racism in the tea party is like brown on shit. You can try to deny it and people will go wow at the audacity and balls to say something so blatantly retarded and false.

  • @dekotable my shit is green = }

  • @bevon17 maybe you got too much fiber in your diet, either way, fuck teabaggers

  • @dekotable

    lol nope. God 30 free salads from work and its all I've been eating for the past 3 days ^_^

  • I hate it when Americans try and insult other nationalities by using the word "Rag Head"!

    It's embarrassing and make them look stupid!

    Don't they realise that?

  • @tinghaling

    no, obviously they don't.

  • Another me luv you long long time asian! :) hahaha I love all these Jews, muslims, sikhs, or whatever religion you are converting for political purposes to christianity. I mean who are you fooling with dat shite! The blk guy would still be using the "colored fountain" if it was not for the liberals! :) S

  • fuck voting those people don't care.

  • There's no way to convince some people that non-white people are even less than human. The South can be a really embarrassing place.

  • @dEdGrimley It's not just the south...

  • @protoroc

    It's not just the South. But it's mostly the South.

  • not solid facts, the original republican governor of SC was an idiot! anybody should have been able to beat him.

  • If Democrats believed and defended core democratic principals they wouldn't be in such a rut nor would their feel demoralized. Republicans are inbreed crackpots but they believe in their party's principals.

  • Comment removed

  • @frictionRx5 It's funny that you talk about people getting out and doing things, when you, in all your childish, idiotic glory, just sit in front of your computer and troll YouTube. THAT, my unworthy adversary, is an "Epic Fail".

    Oh, and two more little tidbits: spell Obama's name right, and "real Americans" is a cliche that died out with Joe McCarthy.

  • I'm an Indian-American, Nikki Haley being an Indian-American woman doesn't impress me much. She's a right wing tea party extremist, and therefore my political opposite. Don't get me wrong, even if she was a republican but was a moderate, and someone sensible that'd be ok with m but I'm not a fan.

  • I don't care what ethnicity she is...If she is backed by Sarah Palin that's not the kind of progress real progressives care about.

  • @JeniusRob Yeah, that bit rather brought be back to reality.

  • @JeniusRob

    Palin only backs people after she knows they're going to win. XD

  • @JeniusRob She is HOT though!

  • @lmcdowall if you vote for someone just because they were hot then why is it we have all these old geezers in office instead of hot big titted playboy centerfolds?

  • @MClown69 I was kidding...I think is hot but that clearly has nothing to do with anything.

  • @JeniusRob

    "If she is backed by Sarah Palin that's not the kind of progress real progressives care about. "

    That's conservatism for you. 20-2000 years behind reality

  • @JeniusRob you should go kill yourself and end it all

  • @Splangy1 Stop eating your own excrement. It's making you a asshole.

  • If the democratic party was actually progressive they'd have a lot less to worry about. I laugh when I hear both lib voters supporting them and conservative voters hating on them, the democratic party as a whole is NOT progressive.

  • Liberals are weak to the core. Democrats can only follow not lead hence they never do anything until someone else does it first, cowards. Whoever votes for a Democrat seals their own fate.

  • @FearEqualsRespect Dito to a republican vote.

  • @FearEqualsRespect Fear Equals Respect? Uh, no. It does not. Check your math again. On to your point about liberals being weak, it's kind of empirical that being a "liberal" (taking chances on new ideas) takes more courage than being a "conservative" (preferring the safety of status quo or standard methods). If you fail to acknowledge this, we can proceed no further.

  • @twh115 I applaud you!
