  • Shut the fuck up, Keith. You're not half as smart as you think you are.

  • They're not around and are never going to be around unless there's a black or minority running for office.

  • Anyone notice that all of the people they advertise at the end are all white? LOL  Keith, where are all the "people of color" on your msnbc tv lineup? Liberal is just another dirty word for hypocrite.

  • It's funny because an internal survey of OWS showed that only 1.6 percent of the protesters were black.

    I like to imagine he's shitting on OWS instead of The Tea Party here.

  • olbermann wishes so much, he could be black. he wants so badly to be in those black panther rallys, but he is just jewish. and jewish isnt diffrent enough for him. get over it keith, have a hemp granola bar.

  • @menard98 lmao.

  • Keith where are the black OWS people? How many are black?

    Oh we don't care when it's inconvenient to do so? Ok.

    No biggie, nobody watches your show anyways

  • There are some white people who still dont like black people very much. they tend to reside in the republican party and (less so) in the Tea Party. Not all of the republicans are racist. Its only a small minority. But if you are a racist and you hate black people, you are definitely not going to join the political party where all the balck people are. i.e. the Democratic party.

  • @bigcheesy95 You could say the same thing about black people who don't like white people very much. There are just as many black racists on the left as there are white racists on the right. So what's your point? Every group has their fair share of racists.

  • @orangeblood307 Yup their are racists on all sides. white racism against blacks has a bit more weight in the eyes of the public due to their......'history'. But yes their are some people in the democratic party who dont like white people AT ALL. for different reasons. some valid, some invalid. Like some people who were youths in the 60's may understandably have some hatred with white people as a whole, because of the things they put black people through. but you are right. racists on both sides.

  • @bigcheesy95 Lol good one.

  • There are some white people who still dont like black people very much. they tend to reside in the republican party and (less so) in the Tea Party. Not all of the republicans are racist.

  • why are we still seeking the approval of white people? that is the question... where the political parties, own tv stations, radio stations.... give me a break fuk a MSNBC, ABC, 123 whatever they want to call themselves I'm sorry they dont validate my wife, daughter, and I period.... Civil rights and the 13th amendment was there way of giving people the illusion of equality ... Dont believe me Marcus Garvey- ownership of land, Drew Ali- nationality etc... what happen after those years illusions

  • Kudos, my friend. You should email this to Olberman. I didn't know this knucklehead was back on tv.

  • Idiot.

  • White supremacy, thy name is msnbc.

  • NBC nomore Black comedies 

  • such a great video...exposing the hypocites that libturds are. LOL

  • Hey douchebag, Hispanics 1. Me 2. My Father 3. Grandfather 4. Marco Rubio Gays 1. GOPROUD Blacks 1. Larry Elder 2. Alfonzo Rachael 3. Kevin Jackson 4. Niger Innis 5. Bob Parks 6. Alan Keyes 7. Allen West Need some more you pompous hack of a news caster wannabe? Ovaryman isn't even fit to comment over a slow mid season baseball game between the Cubs and the Pirates, let alone current events
  • @Redeye1524 "Ovaryman?"....You sexist asshole.

  • @cegaspire I apologize, I in no way meant to compare women to Keith Olbermann

  • Eugene Robinson the Pulitzer prize winner is a regular contributor to the Rachel Maddow show. GOTCHYA!!! Looks like conservatards LOOSE AGAIN!

  • Olbermann will be sorely missed by all!

  • Goodbye Olbermann, you racist douche

  • Comment removed

  • @payazaiskool why don't you look it up. you're on the net, y'know.

  • @janderson2000 I understand that its about smaller government, less taxes,etc etc. The things that I read on the net are either completely biased one way or the other! I just want to know on issues like foreign policy, War's, and how they (Tea Partiers) would promote economic growth. Also there attitudes towards the Bush administration. If you can help thanks if not its cool

  • The classic "white guilt" mantra: White guilt liberals such as this degenerate push affirmative action in some shape or form when - and only when - their OWN place in society is secure. Resign QUEEFE!! You fucking no-talent bum!! Give your anchor seat to a member of a minority!!

  • Where are the black faces? Well, Mr Olbermann, there are more black tea party members (like myself) than MSNBC employs and are ACTUALLY ALLOWED to sit in the anchor chair. One to be exact and she only gets one hour a day. Mr. Olbermann and anyone else that agrees with him type in their seach window: "black tea party speakers".....and please don't cry when you realize how wrong you are and that YOU are the real brainwashed idiot.

  • @nike2950: Keith Olbermann isn't the one who is brainwashed: YOU ARE. You probably wear shirts with dixie flags all over them, huh? You probably wish you were still a slave because you feel white people are superior, don't you? You probably bleach your skin and straighten your hair and comb it to the side, don't you? YOU are the one who needs help. YOU ARE A REAL LIFE UNCLE RUKUS (from the boondocks).

  • @cegaspire you gotta be kidding me....really...your defending kieth olbermann's credibility? please tell me your not black

  • @cegaspire

    That's a freaking terrible accusation. But the fact they aren't all white PWNS this hack right here who said they were.

  • Where are the black faces? Well, Mr Olbermann, there are more black tea party members (like myself) than your network employs and are allowed to sit in the anchor chair.

  • I onced call NBC: No Blacks will ever Conquer and the CW: Catered to Whites!

  • the tea party elected a few hispanics and blacks! because it isn't a racist movement it is an American movement! we are not racist....the other ones are!

  • Keith Olbermann is a douche

  • @thekurgan89 DOUCHE does not even begin to describe this LOWLIFE KEITH OBERMAN....Nobody watches you. By the way...GO Tim Tebow...our hero in Denver and a man with the morals and principals that YOU would never begin to grasp....YOU are the most NO-TALENT BUM as stated above that exists...you and joy behar...enjoy hell.

  • he is way to tan so there must be some black in him, probably his dad

  • Ahmm..Olbermann is gone.. (giddy laughter)

  • Yeah let's show a bunch of white people that have nothing to do with the tea party and ask where are the "black people?", why is it always black people, why not asians? or hell, I dunno.... NATIVE americans!!! The media thrives on the label of "black and white" thought of as opposites throughout societies. But the truth is most of them aren't black or white skinned. It sickens me how much this shit is played up. There are other races that exist. Whites and blacks aren't opposite either.

  • Sack all the white people and put black people on who cant do the job , like they do the UK, thats the best way.

  • The Stewart/Colbert rally was pretty damn white too. I wonder if Olbermann is going to complain about that.

  • Hah, I counted like a dozen black reporters, anchors, and contributors on MSNBC. How many does FOX have?

  • @inademv dammit, don't you get this was ONE SIDED? they can't show the black folks on nbc/msnbc without undercutting their message.

    LOL...too fugging funny.

  • I'm not a conservative or a tea bagger but Olbermann is a repulsive idiot.

  • Keith - I hope you are reading this because I really need to let you know what an absolute fool you are. You are so desperate to distract people from the real issue at hand - that Obama is a Marxist who hates this country and wants to destroy it - that you resort to this petty charge of racism.

    Who the hell are you?!?! A mind reader?!?!

    Get a new line of work, Keith. Like street cleaning or house painting.

    Your commentary is PATHETIC!! Absolutely juvenile. And your make up sucks, too.

  • LOL , awesome video!

  • GREAT VIDEO!! Damn, that's a lot of Rich White People on the screen... One thing I have noticed is that when Racist White People want to get the attention off of them, they just point the finger at someone else and call them a racist. "Where are the "BLACK FACES????" WTF? A true racist could never believe that people of all colors could come together as Americans. BTW, the USA is 70% White People... so, get used to seeing us "White Faces..."

  • Eat sh*t Olbie, where are all the black faces on MSNBC?

  • @owatadikiam I'm standing by with a turd sandwich on rye for you, Keith. Come and get it!

  • This has to be old, but funny. Conan O'Brien isn't with the network anymore.

  • Olberman...GAYS???????????  BREAKING NEWS U MORON!!! SEX IS AN "ACT", NOT A RACE!!!! STOP FORCE FEEDING US THIS BULLSHIT!!!! BLACKS AND WHAT U DO IN UR BEDROOM...."APPLES AND ORANGES"!!!! U actually offend every black or hispanic when u DARE compare what you do with your boyfriend behind closed doors...IN PARADES IN UR CASE....with RACE. EDUCATE URSELF!

  • its a shame that Olbermann's comment is boiled down to these 2 mins. He makes a great point in the rest of the comment that this ties into. I would tell everyone who reads this comment to watch the whole special comment

  • @dmc967 but they wont. They are too wrapped up in their own self loathing.

  • MSNBC is not supporting movement against the first black president nor do they spew racial sterotypes or racial resentment towards blacks and other minorities as the TEA PARTY, FOX NEWS, and nearly all conservative websites.

  • @TheCaliCapitalist There is no movement against the President, it's a movement against the Government, big difference. The only thing I see on Lib Media is Racism, Sexism and lies.

  • I find it curious that so many people label the Tea Party members as ignorant or redneck since they seem to represent the majority of the upper and middle classes. Obviously the most educated and hardest working members of our society.

  • Favorite part is where the "More Colorful" slogan slooowly drops down. Love this. LOVE THIS. Hypocrites. Olbermann is a poisonous dolt.

    Since when does more melanin make your opinion more valid? Olbermann is racist. Where are the people of color at the tea parties? On the same list as Afro-American Alan Keyes and Native American Sheriff Joe Arpaio; lied about, derided, called traitor, and ignored. Keith, America doesn't deserve you and you don't deserve America. Please go live in Burma.

  • Why can't he be more "Fair and Balanced"?

  • KO: total hypocrite! He defines the word.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • KO: total hypocrite! He defines the word.

  • Ha,ha,ha...this is great!

    I guess MSNBC and NBC should ask the same question!

  • Ha,ha,ha...this is great!

  • @CatboxDesign when people stop listening to the propeganda of o'reilly beck and limbaugh

  • @deablanque "when people stop listening to the propeganda of o'reilly beck and limbaugh"

    And start listening to leftist propaganda Machine for tolerance, even though you apparently have to be white to work there.

    But they're anti corporate, despite shamelessly promoting policy that would only benefit their parent company, GE.

    BUt they're open minded, despite "feeling a need to help Obama fulfill his agenda" and getting tingles up their legs.

    What a crock.

  • I was at the tea party after Beck's rally on 8/28 and the first speaker was a black woman. But black people don't participate in these things? I think that's the real racist comment here.

  • @katelynrose10 It was a manipulation tactic to make you believe that thing in which you want to deny. Look you are thinking that it is being said that all of them are racist, but the reality is most of them have some sort of prejudice whether they realize it or not.

  • @splicedenergy According to Gallup poll 21% of TEA Party people are non-White. Many leaders of the TEA Party are non-White: Katrina Pierson, Lloyd Marcus, Alfonzo Rachel, Wayne Perryman, & Kevin Jackson. The truth is that you are a race-baiter who is on an endless quest for racism. What does opposing gov-run health care have to do w/racism? Nothing. Oppose more taxes w/racism? Nothing. Favor eliminating depts of education, energy & other w/racism? Nothing.

  • @splicedenergy BTW, stating that a Black person is there due to the skin color & not qualification is racist. i.e. "a manipulation tactic to make you believe that thing in which you want to deny." You are the one who is a racist for stating that the Black woman was there is a token Black person. She was there, b/c of shared values and views not b/c of her race, race-baiter.

  • @Aegius What the fucking hell are you talking about? You are baiting me, I am not baiting you. Kiss my ass

  • @splicedenergy Where do you draw that line in the sand and decide that a person isn't racist yet there is disagreement? Answer: You don't. You would accuse someone of racism for ANYTHING regarding disagreement. Racist, racist, racist, racist, racist! Go ahead & call us racists, race-baiter! It's become a pathetic joke, race-baiter!

  • @Aegius Wingnut

  • @splicedenergy Earlier you stated that the fact that the first speaker being Black at the Beck rally was to fool everyone. My response was to call you a racist in response for stating that the woman was just being used for her race. Frankly you are the real racist as you can't see beyond her race and not account for her values and her beliefs and her credentials. The Lefties are the real racists and are gradually being exposed for it.

  • @Aegius And you COMPLETELY took what I said out of context! YOU jumped the gun and vented all your pms on me. I do not believe she knew what her place in that was. But I know the Glenn very well did. She wouldnt know it, but he would. And thats what I was talking about.

  • @splicedenergy Yeah, you accuse Glenn Beck of using and manipulating her w/o any basis at all. You are a race-baiter. Thank you for admitting it. You are a race-baiter, a liar and a piece of human garbage. Go back into that hole in the ground from whence you came, race baiter.

  • @Aegius There is no way I'm racist. Beyond your paranoia, there is one thing that every single tea party follower, beck follerwer, limbaugh, weiner and hannity follower have in common. They're all mentally unstable, and therefore, theres no reason to take your shit drama seriously. Shoo fly

  • @splicedenergy Yes, you are moron too. & a racist. You stated that the Black woman was there due to her skin color only & was used as a tool. You dismissed her of having any qualification based upon her skin color. There is a term for a person who dismisses persons on the basis of skin color: racist. Hence, yes, you are a racist. & Frankly you have no grounds for anything that you stated of TEA Party people & all the rest. You are a liar and a piece of crap. Return to your hole in the ground.

  • @Aegius My first husband was black dipshit, I see Glenn's racism, so somehow in your deranged mental capacity that it translates onto me. Yeah okay.

  • @splicedenergy If you dismiss a person's qualifications on the basis that the person is Black,then you are an anti-Black racist. That is what you did w/that Black woman. I pointed that out to you & all that you can do is insult me. You have no grounds for calling Beck, the TEA Party or anyone else who you differ with as a racist and frankly you are the one who is deranged here. You are a race-baiter, a racist and a piece of crap.

  • @Aegius And secondly, this is not only a black vs white thing at all. It steers clear across the spectrum onto muslims, indians, asian etc. So shut the fuck up,

  • @splicedenergy Further Gallup found 21% of TEA Party people as non-White. There are many Black TEA Party leaders: Alfonzo Rachel, Kevin Jackson, Wayne Perryman, Star Parket, Alan Keyes. The TEA Party anthem was composed by a Black person: Lloyd Marcus, who Lefties called a "token Black man". More Left-wing racism. You have nothing and the truth is the real racists are Lefties like you. OH, and thank you for proving that you are Fascist to by telling me to shut up. Leftism = Fascism & Racism.

  • @Aegius What you got is "ism" tourettes

  • @katelynrose10 What you have to comprehend is that it is the movement is disproportionate and they're are so many in the movement that do know they are racist and are proud of it This is a big deal because the politicians enable it

  • @splicedenergy How many non-White leaders were in the KKK, Bund & Neo-Nazis? 0. How many non-White participants were there in them? 0. In the TEA Party: many Black & other non-White leaders and 21% are non-White. What is your evidence for their supposed racism? Answer: Photographs of mostly White people. LOL! If the TEA Party really was racist, they would be 100% White and have NO non-Whites. It's just vicious and nasty race-baiting from the real racists: The Left.

  • @Aegius I did not say all of them were but most are. Obama hitler signs?? thats racism. There are videos all over with that type of redderick. If it werent racist, they'd be drawing a sign without hitler/obama

  • @splicedenergy Obama, Hitler signs are certainly inappropriate, but they were in response to gov-run health care, which has its origins from Nazi Germany. 21% of the TEA Party people are non-White. Many of its leaders are non-White. How many non-White leaders were in the KKK, Bund and Neo-Nazis? 0. How many of their members were non-White? 0. You are just another Left-wing race-baiter on an endless quest for racism cont...

  • @splicedenergy Let me help you on your endless quest for racism: Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Racist. The temperature of Venus at the equator is 1200ºC and 900ºC at the poles. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Ad Nauseum. People are getting SICK OF IT. Drop the race card, race-baiter. It has got to go. If they were racist, there would be 0 non-Whites as spokespersons and in the crowds. cont...

  • @splicedenergy

    i guess you missed the 8 years of the bush/hitler signs?

  • @mrkrinker Nope, I saw them and were noy happy about those either. He got the hitler sign for a tad different reason though, so its not the same reason but equally awful for anyone to do. It's not nessessary, and it twists the country up and divides us and they dont realize what magnitude of damage they are instigating

  • Has Keith ever given this speach to a meeting of blacks about "where are the white faces"? Or at a rally of illegals?

    Keith Oberman is puke.

  • Um, Keith, Jim Crow laws were enacted by Democrats. George Wallace was a Democrat. It was the Democrats who filibustered the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. It was the Democratic Party who enacted the poll tax. I can't stand it when these liberal hacks purposely lie to get their point across.

  • Perhaps, Keith, they watch bigoted channels like MSNBC which constantly drones on and on about how the Tea Party movement is racist. I watch Glenn Beck and have never seen anything that can be construed as racist.

    Dr. King's relatives were there. Black Clergy was there. And yes there were 'black faces" among the crowd. Your channel chose to crop them out. Wonder why?

    Air America had over 80 staff members...NONE were black. NONE. In NYC? R>U> Kidding me?

  • I do agree, MSNBC should practice what it preaches and get some more news anchors of color besides Tamron Hall. CNN has them both beat in that area.

  • The problem with this is that nbc employs a disproportionate amount of blacks to its coporations. Secondly nbc is not starting a movement against a president who is black.

  • Theres a black lady,Tamron Hall --she does a great job at msnbc....Shuster said something truthful about that little prick James Okeefe, but it got him in trouble--so he has been gone a while...but Fox news is a terrorist organization, spewing fear and hatred on a regular basis!

  • To end this stupid argument, it all boils down to this. Which country would you rather live in, The country with a slightly higher tax rate but gives a shit about your education,health,sanitation, ect. which provides a system of equality regardless of economic class or the country which has low tax rates but says ''Fuck you go fend for yourself this is the ''free market'' '' ...I tend to believe (and you probably do to) that it's somewhere in the middle,

  • @Ponezorg

    For the past few hundred years, people have been flocking to the relatively capitalist US.

    I think that pretty much answers which society people would rather live in.

  • @Ponezorg: I want to live in the United States, Free Market Capitolism all the way. I can't remember the last time I saw a cancer patient dying in the street. But if you don't want to die of cancer all you have to do, is work a regular job and pay for your insurance. If you eat healthy you will likely never get cancer anyway. And by the way the Tea Parties I've been to have been very diverse. I've seen a lot of Black, Asian and Hispanic people at the rallies.

  • The Cell death cycle from stopping, the only way to treat cancer is to attempt to kill the cells before they spread to other parts of the body which is much easier said than done and is futile in many cases.. However access to Cancer treatment costs hundreds of thousands of $'s which most people don't have but in France it is free of charge.. Sure people pay for themselves, and if your healthy you don't pay anythin in the US, but in France/U.K/Brasil the sick don't die in the streets either..

  • --Second to answer Aegius, first off I really think your User name is cool....But like I said with the exception of a few cases, Cancer is a terminal illness meaning it will either kill you or it will die along with you.... Cancer is essentially a mutation inside the genetic makeup of a single cell's genome causing it to stop it's cell death cycle. In this sense, Cancer is not a ''curable'' disease by any nation at this point because there is no medicine which can (at the moment) prevent the

  • --''pimpdalyrical'' --First off I think your name speaks for itself, France has a exponentially lower infant mortality rate than any other country in the world... which is why it is rated by the CIA as having the best health care system in the world, while the U.S comes up like 32nd best, behind Cuba and Brasil...

  • Sadly, there are nutters who watch this idiot and cheer his 'brilliant' commentary.

    He's fkn idiot that's been invited to come to a Tea Party to see for himself, but keeps declining. Why.. b/c he'll have to eat those idiotic words. By his own rational, the very network he works for his racist.

    If you really want to be informed on the whole Tea Party movement... get the fk up and go to one.... fkn idiots commenting on things they have NO clue about.

  • Advertise a malt liquor party,they'll be there.

  • there are blacks at tea party event

    Im a con..I was there..and Im Vietnamese

  • I could do the same thing with any network in America except for maybe BET. The difference is, the Tea Party represents a point of view. There is no vetting or qualifying involved in joining a political movement, unlike being hired to do a job. All you have to do is believe that way. Not many minorities believe in the Tea Party way obviously. Nice video, though.

  • Awesome video! Very well done. God .... Olbermann is a joke.

  • I'm not a supporter of the Tea Party by any stretch, but this was a very well done video. Even the liberal media has its skeletons.

  • Comment removed

  • This guy is soooo fucking sickening. He's saying if you're white, and you look around and see other white people, you're in a bad group of people.

    God...he is pure evil.

  • @scbluesman13 "even" the liberals have skeletons ...lol

  • Uh, Bathtub boy? I'm Black, and I go to Tea Parties all the time. Hardly anyone even notices. Because unlike your racist ass, we're not focused on what people look like.

  • What about La Raza where are the white people? Where are the white people in The New Black Panther Party

  • Aegious, your playing pretty loose with your facts since Cancer isn't all the same thing, A malignant tumor of the brain isn't the same as cancer of the skin or cancer in the lungs ect. Then I also have to say that if you have a malignant tumor you are never ''cured'' of it It will always be there in your genetics to haunt you till you die...Even if it dosn't kill you...Go back to Biology 101 before you make your pseudo science political speaches

  • @Ponezorg If you look at all of the different kinds of cancer, yes, USA is highest rate of survival among all of them. I never stated "cured", but "survival rate".

  • No comments needed...this outstanding video speaks VOLUMES

  • I can see someone saying: "well at least they have Tracy Morgan and Mindy Kaling blah blah blah."

    This was great, BTW.

  • Yeah, and FOX Noise is a real den of diversity.

  • @videoguy604 Juan Williams has actually been a guest host on the Factor. That alone tops the racist MSNBC. There have been numerous guests of differing backgrounds such as Mark Lamont Hill, Al Sharpton and Cathy Areu of Catalina Magazine and that puts that racist cesspool, MSNBC, to shame.

  • @Aegius Sure, Fox news can put up a self-hating minority and that makes it the land of diversity.

  • @videoguy604 LOL! Pathetic. Yeah, Juan Williams, Al Sharpton & Mark Lamont Hill hate themselves and have psychological probs, so they go on Fox News to endure cruelty and abuse as they are masochists. That's pathetic. Here is the truth: Lefties brought up race into everything possible as they are race conscious and in turn the REAL RACISTS.

  • @Aegius There's a reason why 90% of blacks abandoned the GOP (which USED to be the party of Lincoln), The GOP & Fox News are the party of the Southern Strategy.  Look it up.

  • @videoguy604 Yeah, the reason is that the Dems duped Blacks into believing that they have been the party of civil rights & women's rights & for the common man. It's all a load of BS. The Dems duped Blacks supported them, while Repubs sided w/KKK & opposed civil rights. The truth is 180 degrees opposite. As for South strategy, the South has radically changed & is the home of traditional American values w/TX as the poster boy. It' NOT about race, but Lefties bring race into EVERYTHING.

  • @Aegius SOUTHERN STRATEGY, look it up.

  • @videoguy604 Left-wing race-baiting. That is what is going on here. Oppose gov-run health care, gov bail-outs of private cos, favor English as national language, favor cuts in taxes and spending and then get called racist for it. None of that has anything to do w/race. The TEA Party was set up in response to over-taxation & over-spending esp. the doomed stimulus package. Left's response: play the race card, like on everything else.

  • @Aegius Yeah, I love having a for-profit corporation tell me whether I get to see a doctor. And taxes are already much lower than they were most of the 20th century, look up those tax rates in your beloved 1950's. Over 90% for the rich, don't believe me, look it up. You teabaggers are just a carnival act.

  • @videoguy604 1)It would be the doctor, not the ins. co telling you and you wouldn't have to wait months or years for it. 2)I know that our taxes are lower than most of the 20th century, but they are too high and yes are going higher w/$353 billion increase in taxes on businesses. 3)I referred to spending as well and we have not had this kind of spending in peace-time ever. We can't afford it as we are $13 trillion in debt w/SS bankrupt and Medicare going bankrupt. You Lefties are fools.

  • @Aegius cont... Obama's first budget deficit in 2009: $1.7 trillion. Estimated debt by 2020: $19 trillion. We can't afford this spending. Medicare will be bankrupt by 2017 according to the CBO. Social Security already is bankrupt. Medicare is bankrupt. There is no more money and we are in serious danger of becoming like Greece due to over-spending, and irresponsible taxation in the midst of the worst recession since WWII. Lefties are fools for not seeing the obvious.

  • @Aegius I'd rather wait a while to see a doctor than lose my house to medical bills.

  • @videoguy604 Hopefully you won't die from cancer by waiting for 6 months. I'm not a fan of insurance companies. Answer: let consumers have access to all 1300 insurance companies across state lines and tort reform to end defensive medicine. That would cause costs to plummet as competition would cause them to do so for the consumer. Still we can't afford Obamacare & Lefties know it. So do the TEA Party people, & they object to Obamacare as such. That's the REAL reason Lefties can't stand them.

  • @Aegius Oh yes, let's listen to the teabaggers and have a race to the bottom where whatever state has the worst consumer protections will have 100% of the insurance companies relocate into it. Things will be so much better when we scrap the 49 best sets of regulations and adopt the worst nationwide.

  • @videoguy604 Okay, only vacuous invective. Having consumers access to all 1300 insurance companies doesn't mean the lowest standards of consumer protection from insurance companies. IN fact w/greater competition the cos will have to provide better services and competition is really the best form of consumer protection as consumers can just go to a competitor if they are dissatisfied. Consumers can also inform other consumers of their dissatisfaction.

  • @Aegius Corporations will go to whatever state offers them the most favorable regulations, in other words the lowest consumer protections. While some may behave better than others, no company would remain housed under a stricter jurisdiction, so you would be throwing away the 49 best sets of legal consumer protections and making the single worst the nationwide standard.

  • @videoguy604 Corporations go where there is the most profit to be made. That indeed means minimal regulations. Good. Let the states compete with each other for minimal regulations and maximum economic activity. That means maximum competition including easy entry by smaller businesses into the market place and maximum consumer accountability to the corporations by consumers. Besides they can go to courts regarding contract, & tort law. That also means jobs galore.

  • @Aegius Uh, how does it serve the consumers if all the corporations suddenly relocate into the state with WORST consumer protections? And of course then you'll have 49 states trying to compete by lowering their regulations. Have you ever heard of Upton Sinclair's book, "The Jungle?"

  • @videoguy604 Answer: They won't relocate to 1 state and it won't matter as consumers won't relocate to that state either. All cos will have to compete for the consumers in ALL 50 states, b/c the consumers won't leave. W/o the consumers the cos go bankrupt. BTW, Re: "The Jungle" there were inspections of meat-packing plants at ALL levels(fed, state & local) & meat-packers petitioned for them. Sinclair was fooled, because all he did was help reduce competition.

  • @Aegius That is there were inspections at all levels BEFORE Sinclair's book, "The Jungle". His book was unnecessary & proved counterproductive as restrictions brought small businesses bankrupt & prevented new ones from being formed.

    Now 1300 cos in all states -> greater supply. Greater supply ->costs drop. More competition ->quality increases. & as cos have to register in respective states, if they operate there even if HQ is in another state.

  • @Aegius Let me add that if you think this is some "friendly" debate, it ain't . I think you are a piece of debris who doesn't even deserve to call himself "human"

  • @videoguy604 Thank you for your insults. Go read books by Ludwig von Mises & Friedrich A Hayek. When supply increases, prices go down & cost goes down. That is what will happen when ALL 1300 cos have to compete for all consumers. It won't matter if they go to just 1 state. So what? They will still have to abide by laws in other states as they have to register in those states. Sinclair's book brought restrictions, that prevented small businesses from being formed & operating against big.

  • @Aegius Sure, they'll have to abide by the laws, but we'll be scrapping the 49 best sets of laws and making the one set of laws that provides the WORST consumer protections the nationwide standard.

    And nobody's buying your enlightened "free market" pixie dust anymore. You'll have to wait until a generation that hasn't lived through the last decade comes of age because you can con society with that trick again.

  • @videoguy604 If the co wants to operate in a state, it will have to register in that state & abide by the laws in that state. 300 million consumers aren't going to go to that a state that has the least consumer protections & the cos will have to go to the consumers for their business. Hence cos will have to go to all 50 states regarless, because they will have to go to the consumers. BTW, your social welfare state is a proven failure in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, CA, MA, & NJ.

  • @Aegius As for the free market it works. TX is doing far better than CA and Chile is doing far better than Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal which are all going bankrupt. The free market produces wealth and is self-sustaining & grows in wealth w/gradual improvements as today even the poorest in USA live better than Roman emperors & Medieval kings. The social welfare state is a proven failure as it is unsustainable w/the money eventually running out. We can't afford Obamacare.

  • @Aegius Right now a company can operate in any state they want to, you're the one wanting to make it so that you break down the state barriers and create a race to the bottom. And, every other country in the world has socialized medicine EXCEPT America, and funny thing, America is the ONLY nation in the world where people lose their houses to medical bills. And what do we have to show for it, one of the lowest life expectancies in the first world.

  • @videoguy604 Ins cos are NOT allowed to operate in every state. Max competition is a race to the top, not the bottom as the cos compete for the business of consumers. They will have to compete & that means max appeal. Max appeal -> max quality @ min cost. I don't care if every country does X, & we do something else. Most of the world has been wrong countless times. Besides the trend is toward privatization as countries like UK, Germany, et al can't afford socialized medicine anymore.

  • @Aegius We also have the highest rate of survival of cancer and heart disease in the industrialized world. Our life expectency is more to do w/higher crime rates and auto accidents than health care. & frankly we can't afford socialized medicine. There is no money. Medicaid & Social Security are already broke. Medicare will be broke by 2017 & doctors increasingly aren't taking it anymore as it doesn't cover costs. THERE IS NO MONEY.

  • @Aegius There are 3 counties in TX that have privatized Social Security. Every other county in USA follows gov-run w/the US gov. Guess what? Social security via the gov is bankrupt. The 3 counties in TX aren't & their social security plan is providing better benefits. Should those 3 counties decide to go the way of the rest of the country as they are out-numbered? Answer: No. Chile has private social security. Which other country has it? If the answer is none, great for Chile for being better.

  • @Aegius Ah, Pinochet's social security. Go and read "The Shock Doctrine" to get the full view of military coup & death squad capitalism. No doubt you WISH you could get away with doing that here....

  • @videoguy604 I was only referring to Social Security and not the full Pinochet regime. I'm not commenting on other aspects. The point is that private social security works, while gov-run social security has led to bankruptcy, just as gov-run medical care has caused bankruptcy in MA, TN, HI, and ME & UK.

  • @Aegius Kind of like the old line about how the fascists did make the trains run on time, isn't it?

  • @videoguy604 The trains under Mussolini didn't run on time. Gov-run trains. Go figure. As stated we have the HIGHEST rate of survival on cancer including over France & Sweden(which is actually privatizing. Bad example of yours.). Did you know that the only area of medicine to cut costs drastically($800 to $300 including inflation) & increase quality is laser eye surgery? Why? Because it is 100% private & no insurance co is involved. Let's do that for the rest of medicine.

  • @Aegius What's the survival rate for the UNINSURED in the U.S. vs France? In France everyone has insurance, not so in America. And your example of zapping an eyeball with a lazer has cut costs (and how much of that is because of technological improvements) means that suddenly free market pixie dust can fix everything is laughable. Let's see you dump your insurance and go all private, not likely since being uninsured is a death sentence if you get seriously ill.

  • @videoguy604

    I have never seen anyone's death certificate list "no insurance" as the COD.

    As you stated, everyone in france is insured so there would be no Uninsured death tally.

    However having everyone insured doesn't seem to be making much of a difference to their deathrates. Shouldn't everyone in France be living to 120 by your theory?

    I wonder if all those Greeks setting each other on fire because they don't know how to live without the nanny state would agree?

  • @pimpdalyrical and the teabagger protests are any better than the Greeks? and although the French system isn't perfect, France comes 10th is the highest life expectancies in the world. And good old capitalist medical system USA comes 38th. Damn Socialist!!! lol Actually I know for sure that 8 out of 10 of the top ten countries for highest life expectancy are what you would call "socialized". but typically conservative don't care if "other" people die.

  • @deablanque

    Yes, there are no riots at Tea parties. Unlike leftist "Douche-bagger" rallies which routinely end in violence.

    Why is the US the only country moving INTO a leftist socialist Medical system, and all of Europe is getting out? Do you even know what criteria the 38th rank applies to? It's not quality of care.

    Libtards like yourself can play the moral "people dying" card when you stop supporting the decapitation of innocent babies. You've earned your DNC pay for today though.

  • @Aegius What's the survival rate for the uninsured vs. the rest of the world where EVERYONE is insured? And what about lack of preventative care here caused by the fact that a lot of people aren't willing to drop the $100 bill it takes just to walk through a general practitioner's door.

  • @videoguy604 Actually not everyone in the rest of the world is insured? Seriously, Morrocco, Colombia, Malta have higher rates of survival than we do? Uh, not at all. The UK system is falling apart, BTW. Canada, UK, Germany are all privatizing increasingly. Preventative care? Doctors aren't to monitor your diets & exercise regimens. Those are for other professionals. BTW, highest premiums on insurance: MA. Highest rate of growth in cost: MA.

  • @Aegius EVERY other nation in the world has government insurance. I certainly would rather be a person on government insurance in France or Sweden than be uninsured in America if I got cancer. All hospitals are required to do in America is administer first aid and then show you to the door.

  • @videoguy604 Does Chile have health gov health insurance? Probably not as they have private social security & it works far better than gov social security as it isn't going bankrupt, everyone gets it & it provides far more funds than gov SS. I don't care if the rest of the world has/does X, because the rest of the world has been wrong numerous times including on Hitler(appeasement) & communism(favorable). I want 100% private S-S and 100% health care.

  • @videoguy604 Fox News doesn't race bait like this though.

  • Hahahaha, this is a great one!!!
