Paula Zahn Now - Obama and Black Voters and Atheists

[ahmedeox]

"Gay men imposed their lifestyle on americans". Yeah, right, they fucked you in the ass and asked you to do the same.What a moron.

[BlackRepublican2010]

When Barack Obama took office in January of 2009, Black unemployment was 12.6 percent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since his coronation, I mean, inauguration, Black unemployment has consistently stayed around 16 percent. As it currently stands, our unemployment rate is 15.8 percent while white unemployment is 8.5 percent. So, not only has Black unemployment gone up over 30 percent since the election of ‘The Great One’, our rate is almost double that of Whites.

[ahmedeox]

@BlackRepublican2010 What was the percentage of white unemployment in 2009? Without that, you're not making a relevant point. Black unemployment did go up by 3.2 percent, but you need white unemployment figures in 2009 in order to see how much, if any, did white unemployment go up/down.

[CameronCourts]

Oh Rachel, sweetheart...That hair was a No No. lol

[MikeezyTV]

What an uncle tom! lol

[Jsworld1980]

the black guy said i would vote for an american! NO SHIT THEY ALL HAVE TO BE AMERICANS U IDIOT!

[Joelsef2898]

I was hoping the reverend would say some reasonable things after hearing his opinion on racism, then it went downhill when he started crying persecution.

[OzBama1]

Speakin as the 43.5 consecutive white president,but as the 1st 1/2 black president I am pleased with the election,thnx peeps,,OzBama has spoken!!!

[moogle301]

6:28 lmao! when he says the thing about the "radical himosexual movement" and them "coming out the closet" you can see Rachel Maddow's hand waving and a little *yay* -hilarious

he's being kinda rude tbh, "THEY imposed their lifestyle" umm, one of "them" is standing RIGHT next to you man!

[ctvwr]

@moogle301

Rachel is gay? Not that it matters, but it adds a layer of delicious irony and humor. I can't believe I hadn't heard it before if its true.

[nlytend1]

the reverend needs to get educated. he's asking some really stupid questions like "where do you get your morals from, i get mine from god and the bible." is this guy for real? a psy class or philosophy course might help him some.

[Meloman0001]

I agree. She should have asked a counter-question: "So you would be immoral without religion Reverend? You would kill, rape, hurt people, etc...?"

To answer his question, I-as an atheist-look to myself and others for moral guidance.

[tamari123]

She should have replied his question by replying them: We get our moral from applying logic to our everyday lives. We get our moral from understanding that other people are just as important as we are. We get our moral from the works of great philosophers of ethics such as Plato. We get our moral from historical precedents such as the American constitution and the Bill of Rights. We have infinitely more sources for moral than religious people who follow just one dogma.

[moogle301]

IExactly, you can be non-religious and use your conscience and others to judge morals..

some religious ppl are fine and do maybe think maybe charitably because of their religion's teachings but some pick their morals without questioning and just follow.. that doesn't seem healthy. its like when a little kid does something dumb just 'cus another kid told them to and the teacher is like "if they told you to jump out of a window would you?"

[Scarlomane]

Wow that rev. is one fucking dumbass

Bigot

[UntamedAxeRage]

Rachel Maddow is the only one in this clip who isn't acting like a child.

[TheBSG]

Come now, a black male wants a hot white chick before they want a nigga, right?

[Paradoxical003]

Im white and the first girl i was with (and still am with 2 years later) is black

as for Obama: ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR A PRESIDENT FOR ANY OTHER REASON THEN HIS TALENTS AS A LEADER IS A DUM-FUCK-TARD!

OK? IT HAPPENS TO BE FOPRTUNATE THAT HE ALSO HAS TALENTS AS A LEADER! BUT PLEASE IF SOME CREATIONIST ELITIST WHACK-JOB WITYH NO LEADERSHIP TALENT WHATSOEVER RUNS AND IS BLACK DONT VOTE FOR HIM IT DOESNT MATTER!

AS FOR YOU SOME PEOPLE TAKE OFFENSE TO THE WORD NIGGA, USING IT IS INSENSITIVE TO THEM!

[xxashyy]

Jesse Lee Peterson is awesome he should run for president! He's tells the black folks what the white liberal politicians wont tell them. And yea i am black.

[bramcorleone]

Can that Peterson mean this for real? I mean do you want to have a state always being the same (very conservative thougth) or do you wanna make progress in laws and rights of people (better a nation)?

[dhort5]

No need to punch Peterson -- just ask him how he decides which parts of the Bible he gets his morals from. Does he follow ALL of the 10 Commandments? Well, atheists make moral choices too, but we have broader sources.

[alitopan1975]

Idiot CNN, they misspelled "Barack" as "Barrack". Why do these guys have so much trouble with African names? First they got the "Obama" part wrong, now its his first name. What's next, spelling "Hussein" wrong? ha.. ha..ha..

[AmBoy00]

He's got some nerve talking about morality.  Someone should ask him about Ted Hagert.

[Epyon42]

"...and atheist Ellen Johnson"

sigh. also that black dude is a douchebag

[InvestigatorDave]

Jesse Lee Peterson IS the "black dude", genius.

[erinwanze]

I want to punch Jesse Lee Peterson in the face.

[KALELis113]

word...he's such a fucking idiot

[Paradoxical003]

I WANT TO KICK HIS ASS TOO!
