The Two Minutes Hate: July 24, 2009

[kjp98]

Everyone should vote if they choose to, but ACORN should not be allowed to register the voters. All organizations have an agenda. Register at your courthouse or through the mail or internet and then there could be no controversy.

[KJamesB]

Why are the Republicans afraid of people voting? Because reasonable people think Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coultre, Hannity are hateful human beings! They embarrass me as an American. I would have kicked Rush's As* in high school - he would never be the coward behind the mic that he is today - none of them.

[rahanonu]

i just listened to glen beck's part in this, and it actually made no sense, im not just talking about the message, the way he put his words together actually made no sense.

[thecolorfulsung]

Wow. Conservatives are not going to get one single vote by poor people in 2012.

They hired Michael Steele to try to solve the race problem. FAIL.

[scbluesman13]

Rush Limbaugh is an ex-con too, isn't he? Wasn't he convicted of drug possession? Maybe he should go work for "C" Street - the white, racist, elitist version of ACORN.

[wiredcoder]

States Rights?

[bertski909]

so Glenn Beck doesn't understand that even a convict needs to work somewhere. What would you rather they not have a job and have to commit crimes to feed themselves and their family? Just because someone is or was a criminal doesn't make them an evil person who is beyond redemption. Really, Glenn Beck and friends just hate the poor.

[stuartbeaton]

G Gordon Liddy is an ex-con!

[salbella50]

Sorry I meant to put a thumbs up....

[epa9975]

Why do "conservatives" hate poor people?

[wowhornby]

I don't think their hate is limited to the poor or middle class. Just saying.

[LorcaAdonai]

"two minutes hate" is a concept taken from the book 1984 in which both BIG BROTHER(FEAR) and Emmanuel Goldstien(Hope) were both instruments of the state used to control the polarized nature of the citizenry.

two sides of the same coin.

The state also induced its own terrorist attacks against the people and blamed it on an imaginary group.

but you guys cant put the puzzle together.

fuckers.

[Nishiki83]

here's a hint for mister Glenn Beck: just because a person is a prisoner or an ex-con doesn't mean he or she is garbage unworthy of existing anymore. they are still human beings with rights and skills, and hiring them is a blessing; it's good karma all around.

[whoyouare13]

Doesn't rush already have a mug shot after his arrest for illegal rx pills? I don't see anyanyone can take an admited rx drug abuser seriously.

[wes654654]

This is some hardcore propaganda.

Fuck you media matters

[imthecoffeecup]

And trying to convince people Obama doesn't have a birth certificate when it's been on FactCheck for over 6 months is fine.

[wes654654]

Whats on FactCheck is a Certificate of Live Birth there is a big difference.

I'm sure he has the long form birth certificate I just don't understand why he wont produce it and shut everyone up. And why doesn't he release he medical records or college records?

[imthecoffeecup]

Probably to make crackpots crack even more. Lou Dobbs is a good example. Or hey, according to the War Room, he was most likely born in Africa.

[TonyFbaby87]

the fuck are you talking about?

[duckmanx88]

how is it propaganda when they take excerpts from their shows and play them for us to hear? another retarded republican.

[wes654654]

WTF man I'm no republican nor am I a democrat. This video is a example how the left tries to demonize the right, and the right does the same thing to the left.

Right and Left doesn't matter because they are 2 sides of the same coin, 2 heads on the same monster, both sides at the top are controlled by the same people.

They do this to distract us from real issues and get us in teams against each other so even if what your team is doing is wrong we still defend it.

[wes654654]

continued:

It doesn't matter what side is in power the same agenda is pushed forward.

Everyone voted democrat and we now have a dem majority in the house, senate and a dem president. And people did that because they wanted a change, they werent happy with the right.

Well what changed? Nothing.

Now the left is doing many of the same things the right did and people who before was against those things now support it because its their side thats doing it not the other.

This is insanity!

[sellbodys]

its not really propoganda unless media matters takes a stance on the matterial they are reproducing. if they said that these people have no legitimate points, or any other points of view, then yes it would be propoganda. ps. that is what these right wing radio personalities do. if you like a good laugh, listen to a whole show one day.

[wes654654]

They kind of did pick a side when they titled the video Two Minutes Hate. But where is the hate, maybe I'm crazy but I thought Dobbs and Savage made some interesting points.

[ERAUPRCWA]

lol, why are they so scared a black man who mind you is half white, but why are they scared of him? and don't give me that crap, they're not scared. The first black president, were talking about things that have NEVER been discussed before. Also Obama didn't call the police stupid, he said their actions were stupid. seriously, ACORN? still... OMG, does anybody know the REAL reason why they're against ACORN? argh... stupidity is on the rise, I hope it doesn't go airborne.

[Ender1zero1]

The republican party is afraid of ACORN because ACORN runs voter registration drives in lower income neighborhoods and lower income voters tend to support Dems. HTHs

[ERAUPRCWA]

I always hear people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh say stuff like "what have the Democrats done for minorities?" the question that they should ask is what has the Republican part done for society?

[senatormi]

The boys at Hate radio and their allies at Fox News off and running with this cop/black guy incident in Mass. we all know that a police officer would never knowlingly harass a black man.Ya right They're going to use this to continue to try to discredit Obama.. Obama didn't handle it well and fox and Hate radio are off and running. The cop is supposed to be Oreilly's show monday. This story should last about a week or so. then onto something else for the haters.

[vonOhzu]

"I always made one prayer to God, a very short one. Here it is: 'O Lord, make our enemies quite ridiculous!' God granted it. ""

[liquidhead]

i like Beck's pronunciation of the word 'hardcore'.

dumbass.

[BMBurgh]

Well Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the new "Red Scare"

[y2jayjk]

Why are they so obsessed with the birth certificate thing? Besides the fact that it's already been proven to exist....why would they talk so long about it anyway?

They must be running out of things to cry about.

[SgtMcCuddles]

why does fox news...hire people...who are known.. pedophiles..?

just asking the questions glenn beck might find fair.

[schwmp01]

Haha! Awesome question! It's sad that we will never hear an answer from Mr. Beck.

[imthecoffeecup]

Who in Fox News is a pedophile?

I'm not saying I like Faux News, I'm just curious.

[SgtMcCuddles]

fox news had a producer that was convicted for possession of child pornography. aaron bruns.

[imthecoffeecup]

Thanks.

[rhabdoviridae]

Compared to the comments of last week, it sounds like they are running out of steam; not that it will make a difference to the listeners. They could claim Obama is an alien from another dimension and, no doubt, many of these cretins would believe it.

[fma891]

ENOUGH WITH ACORN!!! God dammit Glen Beck you need to shut the fuck up. When he goes on about ACORN hiring convicts and prisoners, that isn't even a good argument to hate ACORN. First of all we have so many people in jail, people that probably haven't done anything wrong that cops have put in there so that someone can make a profit. Obviously I am not saying that everyone in jail is innocent, but there are definitely more then a few that are.

[alienman909]

You can hear it on the tip of Beck's tongue:

"Why does ACORN hire people who are known... Ti... Criminals."

Terrorist, terrorism, terror, they just love to use these words.

[Richardgwm]

Lou Dobbs gas driven off the crazy cliff.

[089niamh]

in fact, obama DID turn over his health records during the campaign. his was a few lines long. john mccains was 8 PAGES long.

and what have rush limbaugh and beck got against community organisers?? at least they help their communities (for little pay, by the way) instead of sitting on their fat arses , preaching hate to anyone stupid enough to listen.

[Francebrasil]

These guys are bright..

They are making millions plucking the poor , uneducated bigots who are being brainwashed into the idea capitalism they must defend is really serving them that well...

[Iamnotbarackobama]

um, nothing said was all that incorrect and I think the comment about the police was dead on. is this video actually trying to prove something against conservatives? fucking stupid.

[newwavewitch]

LOL

[drgoodvibesxxx]

you make such strong arguments you must be an intellectual of some kind.

[cronos225]

And I love how Glenn Beck is harping on ACORN hireing convicts when he is a college drop out who became an alcoholic and drug addict

[drgoodvibesxxx]

i just think he is going into withdrawl, all he needs are some oxy contins from his buddy rush limbaugh

[xwishmasterx2]

@cronos225 LOL

[CharlesHorman]

What's with Glenn Beck and ACORN? I honestly had never heard of ACORN till i heard him talking about it

[Iamnotbarackobama]

that's because the liberal media fucking hides everything from your ignorant ass.

[newwavewitch]

LOL again.

[drgoodvibesxxx]

can you say lberal media 10 times without sounding like a hate mongering loon.

[CharlesHorman]

Nah, its because acorn is a boring story that noone cares about except Glenn Beck and his admirers.

[aquamadman]

Blah blah blah, electango spouting out and out lies, people in the republican party two years ago won't claim it today. Lol , you have the most reviled party in history, the polls prove it, 32% polled identified themselves as repugs 58% claimed democrat. It's idiots like elctango that are why the repugs are irrelevant! Lol

[gilbygil11]

ummm..ya, Hitler was not in power in 1931...classic republican stretching (lying) of the truth

[aquamadman]

See what I'm mean! This assclown just regurgitates the same lies over and over, electango is just another nut like those wack job old ladies, the one at the McCain rally that called Obama a known terrorist. And the one who ranted about obama's birth record. Hey man! Put down the sharp objects and take your meds you nut job!!!!

[aquamadman]

I think they should change their name from the republican party to broken record party. All they have is the same lame talking points. Sometimes I feel like I'm in one of those scifi horror movies, you know the one, like They Live with Roddy Pipper. The people are really aleins and they are trying to control us. Very republican aliens!!! Lol

[kalane]

for the life of me, i never thought right wingers would still be talking about ACORN

[rickamabob13]

Michael "Savage" Wiener sais, "...that would have permitted reciprocity between 48 states.."

Isn't one of main reasons we have states in this country is so each state can decide what can be allowed within each state. Independent of the federal gov't and the other states?

[SkreetGil]

I think they all share the same thing that resembles a brain. But is actually oatmeal.

Umm... sorry oatmeal.

[humyagami]

I'm a little offended you insulted oatmeal. but i guess i'll let it pass :P

[cherubrock19871990]

media matters for the world

[lp4ju]

you know I don't call this 2 minutes of hate...

I call it 2 minutes of crazies...cause that's what they are...

Crazy!!!

[kingsdun]

By mugshot is Lush Rimjob referring to the photos on drivers liscence or passport>

[LAUGHATREPUBLICANS]

Hey Lou Dobbs, I believe the question of whether you are a child molester remains open. We require you to submit to a battery of psychological tests performed by a panel of experts, and that the results be certified. This is a serious allegation, and it needs to be dealt with. What are you hiding? All you have to do is to submit to the tests. There are many who are saying you raped little boys, and I don't know what the reality is.

[electango]

Generally, persons born within the borders of the US in the past 50 years have birth certificates. Where is Obama's birth certificate? Lou Dobbs is merely asking this question. People keep saying it's been proven Obama was born in Hawaii. Except that there has been produced no birth certificate. So because Obama and the State of Hawaii are unable or unwilling to produce a valid birth certificate, Obama's enemies question whether he was born in Kenya.

[aquamadman]

electango, you are the lamest broken record. ok, lets look at the facts( i mean everyone else, you just just ignore all the fact like the ignorant right winger you are) 1) unemployment growth rate is going down,

2) the dow is steadily rising topping 9000 today.

3) obama has shown you the only birth certificate that he can, the state of hawaii showed you the one you asked to see asked and aswered.

4) repugs admit that they are obstructing HC just to make obama look bad. wht a joke u all are

[electango]

Unemployment is going up. Unemployment is significantly higher now than at any time under Bush or Clinton. Perhaps Obama's mismanagement of the US economy is playing a role? Did Obama adopt Bush's pro big Wall Street firms economic policies or not?

Fact--an official birth certificate for Hussein Obama has yet to be produced.

The GOP is the opposition party. It does not have to oppose Obama's reforms, but partisanship is so extreme in Congress due to Pelosi's leadership--it is what it is.

[cronos225]

Yes, Obama came into office and the first day started sending the economy down the toilet. Never mind that it was already happening with Bush and Obama inherited his mess. Oh and speaking of Bush and Clinton, Bush inherited from Clinton a 4.2 unemployment rate. His first month in office it jumped to 6.4 which probably was not Bush's fault, but not 1 time in his 8 years in office did it get back to the one he inherited from the Democrat Clinton.

[electango]

Nobody in his right mind would think Bush was a more successful President than Bill Clinton. Clearly, Clinton was smarter, more hard working, and a better communicator than either Bush or Obama. The fact that Clinton had to leave office when he was doing a great job, wanted to stay on and would have been reelected handily had he run against Bush--this is a major flaw in American politics. And the country paid a horrific price.

[cronos225]

And you are wrong again about his Birth Certificate. A Certificate of Live Birth is the LEGAL EQUIVILANT of a long form birth certificate, and the state of Hawaii does not even release copies of the long form birth certificate. For example, when applying for a passport you are expected to bring a certificate of live birth, which he has produced and says he was born in Hawaii. A claim that is supported by a newspaper showing the date, parents, and address of Obama's family the day he was born.

[electango]

People are asking for the release of Obama's birth certificate. Why not just release the birth certificate and be done with it? Probably some numbskull in the Hawaii Vital Statistics Dept has lost it and they can't find it. If that's true, say so. Why is this so difficult to put to rest?

[LAUGHATREPUBLICANS]

Hey everybody - LAUGH AT REPUBLICANS!

[wervasdeferens]

Ahhhh, it's so refreshing to come to MM and read the comments of my intelligent Liberal friends.

We will win,my friends,just keep exposing their nonsense,keep ridiculing and shaming them. Keep educating and informing them. We will win!

[electango]

The strange thing is the country is about to take a huge swing to the right. Especially if Obama continues to let Pelosi determine his agenda. In fact, if unemployment continues to skyrocket, there will be a Republican Congress in 2010. Obama should conference with Bill Clinton urgently to learn how to avoid first term mid term elections meltdown.

[wervasdeferens]

electango,

I don't know. The GOP still polls bad,voters who say they identify as GOP is still at an all time low.

The problem is the constant barrage of BS coming from right wing talking heads,like MM exposes.

What Obama and the Dems need to worry about is losing Liberals' support.

We didn't put them in there and give them majorities in order to play nice with Republicans.

The Dems need to do their job and to hell with the GOP.

[electango]

The GOP isn't the target of the talk show enemies of Obama. These unelected professional politicians with microphones are pounding away at Obama 24/7 and he isn't responding very well. They are peeling away Obama's support among important voter groups. Obama needs to quit focusing on petty disorderly conduct arrests in Boston and get totally focused Bill Clinton like on health care. The sharks are beginning to circle and Obama is beginning to bleed. Right now it doesn't look good for Obama.

[p00lman]

"It would've been great for self-defense."

The only reason people need guns in America is to protect themselves from OTHER PEOPLE WITH GUNS. It's ridiculous.

[BlackBeWhite2k7]

Y'know...you'd think after losing so many elections as of recently, the GOP would get their shit together....but no such luck, eh?

[LAUGHATREPUBLICANS]

Man, FUCK Republicans!

Everyone bitched when Obama said that this was not a christian nation, but he was right. If we were a christian nation we would have no problem helping the sick and the poor. We especially wouldn't use money(the root of all evil) as an excuse. Perhaps this a test to see how wicked we really are. I image Jesus is disgusted. We really should take gods name off everything and stop pretending we are something we clearly are not.

his/her comment has marked as spam reposting

[FantasmaBAnco]

Beck is seriously crazy.

What the hell is wrong with being a community organiser, anyway?

[lp4ju]

apparantly it means that you are a "socialist" ...lol...funny huh, who would have though being a community organizer does that

[emphaticapathy]

What do they have against 'community organizers'. They always talk about them in such an ominous way. Why is standing up for the little guy such a bad thing...why are unions so bad...it's almost as if they don't give a fuck about the majority of Americans and are protecting there own interests like selfish leaches...whilst having the gall to claim they are the patriots, fucking scum.

[voyeurdug]

Rush is wrong about the mug shots. He, Beck, Dobbs and "Savage" will all have two or more. Where/when/how did Dobbs get mixed up with these slimy weasels, anyhow? Didn't he used to be a journalist with some ethics?

[trancewe]

Rush already has a mugshot doesn't he?

[dizzymasekela]

ACORN didn't have to hire me, I'm a regular volunteer now.

[yormeey]

Having listened and watched event since the precedency of Obama and nomination of Sotamayor to the Supreme Court, I would be very surprised if minority communities will ever support or vote Republicans for a long time.

[OrbisFerrum]

dobbs: already been addressed about b .cert.

You are not mocked for asking a question, you are mocked for asking something that has already been addressed. many times.

Savage: Reductio ad hitlerum. 'nuff said

Beck: I wonder if he's aware of the irony that a man who goes on TV and says "they" are out to get us is offended that ACORN would rally black people around the same pretenses? Not that I know them to actually do that of course.

Rush: strawman + paranoid rant = epic win.

[btownhotties]

The GOP slandered ACORN. The GOP is full of racists, hypocritical, sexist assholes.  They don't want black people to vote because they'd vote democratic, and that's why they are so afraid of ACORN. The birth certificate is racist because you are basically saying Obama is not your President because he's not like YOU. It's pure psychology.

[winstonsmith00]

These fuckwads are racist cowards. That's it it has to be.

[RtFusion]

CNN, pleeeaaassse fire Lou Dobbs. He is NOT an Independent and is a birther. He panders to the right wing.

[fryersoncaptain]

The whole birth certificate thing is a load of crap. It has been debunked time and time again, yet the neo-conservatives just won't give it up!

[tkabat66]

Mind you, it was George W. Bush who hired Blackwater and helped sieze firearms from the people of New Orleans during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe.

[ytnbsa]

i cant believe LOU DOBBS of all people are still talking about this birth certificate thing

the rumors were debunked on HIS SHOW when he was off, the lady who was filling in showed about 5 examples of proof while she was on

[aquamadman]

wow!!!! all i can say is WTF???????

[petehjr1]

The mind reels in horror.
