Blast From The Past--News Coverage Of Sessions Hearing

[zenbyo]

Damn look at young Joe Biden. He had less hair than he does now lol!

[ohkeepa2009]

search the OBAMA DECEPTION

stop the New World Order

know the truth

wake up!!!

[BrownHassassin]

great¡ sessions is a sen. now right?

[sachaput]

Wow! Amazing to see Biden, Sessions and the rest so many years ago. It's good not to forget what has gone before, as I'm sure Sessions has not forgotten or forgiven.

[b5kalad]

The group "people for the american way" is a pseudo socialist group. They are just as bad as the ACLU.

[john48martin]

Who said that a group protecting Civil rights is bad?

[grudgekeeper]

The funny part is i could not absorb the actual relevance of this because i was to captivated by the way news used to be reported. I sure as hell do miss the storys and facts being passed along without massive agenda spins.

[mike50333]

Biden looked good in 1986. :)

[pwl1980]

he had less hair, though

;-)

[b5kalad]

Maybe he is using a Captain Kirk hair piece.

[Chewy240284]

thats gold, haha

[onlywinter]

Thanks so much for posting this video! It really puts the current situation into perspective. It's so disturbing that Session is a bigot. It just shows that the way people treated blacked people is the way they are treating us. Civil rights are all connected!

[hajqbvii]

The face of a "Stereotypical Dixiecrat"....that is the base of the Republican Party....

[WKaliberr]

I already watched this crap, I even commented on it

stupid republicans

see?

why the hell is this still in my subscription box

[youcancallmebetty]

"an appalling surrender to the politics of ideology" as opposed to the other kind of politics?

[DillonX]

Sessions is not on the far right.

He's on the far, far, far, far, far right.

He opposes any environmental restraints on corporations - in fact any restraints on corporations at all. He has never been a strong advocate for minorities & would love to see prayer in schools.

I hope the ppl of Alabama are finally waking up.

[SandorFne]

Lucky Bush isn't around to fill the Souter vacancy. Sessions compliments the Roberts, Alito, Scalia axis quite nicely.

[mccreasteve]

specter WAS the ranking republican... muahah

[vertigate]

haha lots of familiar faces

[b5kalad]

True, some change. Nothing changes.

[3star2nr]

BIDEN HAD HAIR!!!!!!

[republicanfacistsdie]

Bush, Palin, Sessions, Strom Thurmond, Limbaugh, Gingrich, Cantor= white trash idiots. Mock them into extinction.

[b5kalad]

You and your channel sounds very much like the Jew hating trash out there except you replace hating Jews and with Christians.

[john48martin]

What does the defeat of a blatant racist to a position as a judge have to do with hating Christians?

[b5kalad]

The media says he a blatant racist. I am called a racist for being a Jew, for being pro-life (anti-abortion), against illegals from coming across the broader, being a proud gun owner AND for marriage between man and women only (no gay marriage, it is in the TORAH/Hebrew Bible)!

It seems the godless in the world (and worldly) are for the most attacking Christians (instead of Jews). The righteous Christians (those that support Israel is a common value) are the next Jews.

[freddymedal]

Pro-life unless they're Palestinian?

[b5kalad]

No, I am pro-life.

I will point out people claiming to be so-called palestinians to move to any one of the 27 or so arab/muslim countries like any refugee. Instead of being used as pawns by the Jew hating world.

I would recommend Syria or Jordan (which by the way by was part of the Balfour Declaration). Elements in the Jew hating British divided the land (hence a two state solution).

Hope this helps, take care,

[TheRamenAvenger]

I don't really care about which silly sky god religion you prescribe to, or whether you're a racist, but you definitely sound like an asshole.

[b5kalad]

You sound like that fool Pat Condell. That godless fool from the UK. The once great country is falling apart because it has fallen into ungodliness and turn porn, having things, and letting Muslims and other foreigners into the country to have the children they didn't bother to have. UK always hated us Jews. I take that for granted. Sounds like the decline of the roman empire?! And you call me a racist.

[TheRamenAvenger]

I didn't say you were a racist, I said you were an asshole, and clearly I am correct.

[b5kalad]

I have been insulted worse by better men.

[TheRamenAvenger]

I'm glad to hear that! I hope they did it well.

[JBeatty17]

If you want valid reasons why the GOP is effectively dead, check out James Carville's latest book: 40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation.  I just started reading it, it's one of the best nonfiction novels I've ever read.

[KLNDR]

Ooooo Joe Biden! What a hot piece of ass. ;D

[SeaTownGunner]

lol really I like the guy but a hot piece of ass I dont know

[Richardgwm]

Sessions is completely irrelevant as are all Republicans at this point.

The Republican party is dead.

[azas1949]

He is not totally irrelevant. He has replaced Specter as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee - the Committee that handles SCOTUS nominations.

[Pleblian]

The Senate Judiciary Committee is irrelevant, Obama can do what Bush did and wait for the summer break.

[Richardgwm]

Um. . . . . no.

Specter is the ranking Republican on the Judiciary committee. You may have missed the news, but the Democrats control the Senate. That means Democrats head ALL committees. Patrick Leahy is Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Sessions is irrelevant as are all Republicans. The Republican party is dead.

[terpis]

Good clip...the idea of digging deep into news archives is a great one...so many hypocrites, so little time.

Somewhere, a TPM intern is getting a back-patting.

[MooseOfReason]

Gosh... Joe Biden with hair. Hehe.

By the way, why is this clip necessary?

[terrence0258]

Why does Biden have more hair today?

[ironchopsticks]

im so glad that diva bimbo dan rather is gone.

[400hurdle]

wow. this channel digs up the best stories. its amazing how ppl change their tune over time (in regard to sessions).

[brukins]

Where is Nancy today?

[iamjackscolin]

GooOOOooofy Joe Biden

[OlivierdeAthos]

I figured that clip had to be 1981 at the earliest, otherwise we would have seen Walter "the Walrus" Cronkite in that chair.

[oldtownkid]

Blast from the past !!! awesome. Please keep 'em coming. wow, look a Joe Biden.

[bittermoviecritic]

Reagan was a lousy president who picked a terrible nominee who still continues to haunt us today.

[HeathrowSurveillance]

Holy shit, baby Biden!

[OlivierdeAthos]

Yeah, that was when he was in his snarky, Woody Allen phase.

[BandsImWorkingOn]

They were surprised Regean picked a racist?

Well I guess you'd have to be there, but it seems, from history, that it should have been obvious that Regean was a racist, and overall a bad president.

[Pleblian]

"Well I guess you'd have to be there, but it seems, from history, that it should have been obvious that Regean was a racist, and overall a bad president."

I was there too and history will show, that Reagan was as crooked as they get, worse than Nixon. We're still fighting off his legacy.

[thehoaxbuster]

L L L L L L L Liberal.

[republicanfacistsdie]

MMMMMMMM Moron.

[republicanfacistsdie]

M M M M M M M Moron. You, white trash, are POWERFUL stupid. Go back to your basement and jack off to videos of David Icke or something. Fucking idiot turd

[thehoaxbuster]

lol how do you know i'm white? you are quite dumb aren't you?

[john48martin]

Oh, we know you're white, except for a yellow belly

[thehoaxbuster]

I'm not white... You blame the republicans for being racist buy look at you!

[BandsImWorkingOn]

you just lost the game

[thehoaxbuster]

Lol so did everybody who reads that.

[GennaSt]

I am glad TPM goes back to the video tape. It is kind of difficult to argue with the actual footage.

Why did AL send this man to the Senate if he was rejected for the judiciary?

[DoctorMeh]

He was rejected for federal but held and continued to hold US Attorney.  And well, it's fricken Alabama.

[GennaSt]

I'd like to think that even if there are seething racists in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana (there are, I've spent enough time here to know what I'm talking about), there are many more people who believe in a collective future and are glad that are secessionist past is in the past.

[DoctorMeh]

Me too. Same is true about Texas. There is a very loud minority and I almost want to see it go forward so that it would fail.

[jwiska]

in a free corporation any free state can leave a free union; isnt that the idea of freedom?

[DoctorMeh]

An idea, but yes roughly. However I was saying it would fail politically.

[igienger]

23 years later and Jeff Sessions is now minority ranking member of the same committee that once shot him down for insensitivity (and in our times, gross insensitivity). He's still blind to anything that doesn't fit into his strict ideals and toe-to-toe with them at every corner.

He's lost touch with real people and becomes more lost in empire making each day. To quote, never ignore giants who act on "principles" to aid humanity while neglecting the simplest and most obvious moral obligations.

[wervasdeferens]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Right wingers are what they are.

[GhostOfThe92503]

lol@.. our V.P. having an almost full head of black hair and no aging wrinkles.

[WKaliberr]

stupid republicans

[fishhead06]

Well, well, well - verrrry interesting!

[buffalosouljah18]

The past always bites people in the ass.

[Maziyar]

the age of misinformation over?

[snipzor]

So essentially this video is just to tell/warn people not to be too trusting of Sessions as his record says he is not the type to accept something he is wary of. Not at all confusing actually.

[phillydawg]

do do, do do do..
