  • This is ridiculous.

    Privatising the NHS, condoning waterboarding, and saying global warming is a scam, ARE radical views. Not to mention stupid and immoral.

    No reasonable people are saying these views should be censored, but to say that they are correct would be an idiotic thing to do.

    Waterboarding is completely beneath contempt, as are the people who advocate it, torture is against the law! as it should be.

    Also, the NHS in Britain (I am British) is more efficient than private healthcare.

  • You’ll have to forgive me, but views expressed to privatise the British NHS, believing global warming is a scam, believing using water boarding might be okay, and feeling that using firearms is reasonable are indeed radical views. It just seems that America’s “centre” is the rest of the worlds “right wing,” even amongst UK Conservatives. But there’s nothing wrong with being radical – I agree with one of those four views and if I were an American citizen I’d agree with two.

  • @darkfox85 water boarding isn't okay? Alright, I'll go file a law suit against the head of the Navy Seals for making being water boarded over 100 times a requirement to pass.

  • @maximunoutlaw32 First of all, that happened to be the one I agreed with, second of all, the argument surrounding water-boarding is in its intention as a device of torture not in its use in recruitment and initiation, third of all, “head of the Navy Seals” – really?

  • @darkfox85 well considering that the GC only says that soldiers, officers and civilians can't be tortures, but spies, saboteurs, mercenaries, terrorists most certainly can be tortured, and water boarding is a cake walk compared to what those barbarians do to our soldiers and reporters.

  • @maximunoutlaw32 I’m no idealist, and I’m not naïve, and I’m not against water-boarding. I never said I was. But I really don’t think it’s a “cake walk” although I’ve never been water-boarded. There’s an almost perverse desire to experience it to appreciate its full effect and speak with more authority. But even so, this issue is too thorny for this limited word count. All I can say, amongst other unsatisyfing and pithy maxims, is when fighting the monster, don’t become the monster.

  • @darkfox85 don't become the monster are you serious? do you have any idea how our enemy treats its prisoners. you can find some of it on the internet. The torture methods the Islamo-fascists use are inhuman. Water boarding compared to the sick things they do IS a cake walk.

  • @maximunoutlaw32 I'm totally serious. But I’m not interested in being goaded into a discussion on torture, but once again I largely agree with the POV and I’m frankly finding that very tiresome. Like I said, I’ve never experienced water boarding so I can’t accurately comment on how bad it really is but it’s clear that it’s not “nothing” (“cake walk”.) It is something. But depending on what you mean by “inhuman”, all torture is inhuman and I’d do well to remind you about what we’re fighting for. 

  • @darkfox85 i see what you mean however i was just saying that i'd rather be water boarded then lit on fire, castrated, and it disturbs me to even think about what they might do to women

  • @maximunoutlaw32 This doesn't address the morality of torture or becoming thine enemy – but I think we both agree that torture can be justified under extreme circumstances, but I must say that castration and immolation are super rare and ineffective methods. Next time, mention electrocution vs water boarding. This concludes the debate (if we even had one.) BTW, there’s a very funny grammatical error in your latest post...

  • i wrighting this at the 5 minut mark wowwwww

  • this is crazy... hey I really love the song you have at the end of all your videos!!!

  • Is that an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas?

  • Wow, Brits think that's "far-right"?

    What happened to the country of Churchill and Thatcher? It's become the English-speaking 'France' in the world.

  • Keep up the good work my friend.

  • Well, Jim Matheson voted against the healthcare reform bill. Quite the bribe huh? I thought a bribe was when you give someone something in exchange for something not when you give someone's brother something in exchange for nothing. Odd bribe.

    So Lee, why was this "dangerous" to our nation again?

  • @AHBritton Nice one! In Lee's world that only means that the bribe failed though! Obama is still guilty, without any kind of evidence ofc...

    I wonder what that moron TylerNull is talking about now... Both Lee and him are jokes though. Talking about Obama-bots when comments with actual FACTS in them are flagged to hide the truth, that HTWW is a lying, misleading scumbag!

  • @checkcall123 Thank you, although I do want to say that I do not agree with the lying scumbag part. Although I do think sometimes his methods are dishonest, he is most likely mislead himself as much as he misleads. He also ( I must admit very rarely ) has a point on occasion.

    I don't want to harp or nitpick, I just happen to think using excessively harsh language should be avoided when possible.

  • That being said, TylerNull who commented below is an abject moron & simply attacks people w/o cause or argument. He has demonstrated this to me time & time again. Relentless in his attacks & oblivious demagoguery.

    Do these two statements make me hypocritical? Maybe. The difference is that I feel TylerNull has been directly villainous to me & has demonstrated he is beyond reproach. Although I have occasionally received condescending comments from HTWW it has not reached the same level of vitriol

  • I must say My Head Hurts

    By all the misleading information and completely false stories HTWW managed to fit in a 9 minute clip, you really should be ashamed since I'm sure a lot of people watch your videos and take them as facts.

    And to think that they put you on big news shows on TV, shocking!

    Step your fact game up HTWW and present real news not made up stories that fools people.

    I'll be watching...

  • @ checkcall123 Click the links in the side-bar dumb ass... what's false?

  • You are ignoring reids point. Last year at this time we were losing 700,000 jobs a month. Now we only lost 36,000. That's a huge improvement! The stimulus worked. get over it.

  • If you had paid attention to the actual video clip, what Reid said was that we only lost 36,000 jobs TODAY! Not this month, but on that particular day. And by the way, if you multiple that number by the number of days even in the shortest month equals 1,008,000 lost in a single month.

  • He was talking about the report that came out that day! The report said that during february we lost only 36,000 jobs. Do research, stop spewing nonsense.

  • @Astexix

    THANK YOU for pointing this out, I had actually missed this.

    Once again HTWW took a quote out of context, OF COURSE it's 36,000 jobs lost during february not in a SINGLE DAY.

    So to sum up false/misleading information in this video,

    Krugman story false

    Harry Reid story false

    Obama/Matheson story highly unlikely and filled with misleading information:

    Jim M not a senator, Scott M not appointed but nominated and that decision was made months ago not on the same day. Sad HTWW...

  • @ jesseb137 You're an idiot too my friend, and have obviously been drinking the same cough medicine as Checkcall. You contradicted yourself you buffoon. "Last year at this time we were losing 700,000 jobs a month." KEYWORDS - "LAST YEAR & A MONTH". Guess what? THE BIG DAMAGE HAPPENED LAST YEAR. On that day we lost 30,000 in ONE DAY. Hmmm 30,000 (jobs) x 30 (days in a month), oh wait, you don't know math. But if you did, the answer would be 900,000... that's WORSE. [insert liberal education here]

  • Go suck an egg, checkcall123, AHBritton and TheEllipsis731.

  • @TheShnuz I never understood why this is an insult. I like eggs. What problem do you have with what I said?

  • my head is hurting from watching this unblinking virgin.

  • Democrats & Ad Hominem -- Life Partners

  • I'm sorry to say I cant decide which story is more absurd. Incompetent people are the bane of the public schools system. And that's why they're there. Because they couldn't get a job anywhere else.

    The limeys have all sold out to political correctness and socialism. Which only functions through pacifism. The idea of rational thought and free thinking scares them.

    Harry Reid doesn't care about people just numbers. Anyway he can put a positive spin on it is to make him look good.

  • That's not an icepack, that's a package of frozen vegetables...

  • I liked the water cannon story. Where can I get one of those? :)

  • we need to give jail time for politicians giving bribes to one another

  • In general I love your videos, but I have to disagree with you on the school funding issue.

    Schools are getting more expensive because teaching, in general, has not experienced the productivity gains that other professions have attained.

    For example, farming over the last 100 years has increased output per man-hour of labor many times over, but teaching someone to read still takes the same amount of time and effort.

    It should come as no surprise that education costs have outstripped the CPI

  • Why would anyone be surprised. don't use the 9 year old excuse, Bush did it. BUSH IS GONE.

    Rather this happens everyday or this is the first time, should you feel this is OK You are as arrogant and dishonest as Obama. he has no morals therefore, he has no moral compass to calibrate. Do you have any morals? If not, thinking you and your God is above the law is becoming expensive and not monetarily speaking. Don't blame the hypocrite Glenn Beck. Take responsibility for your own moral compass.

  • the story of the vote selling is the craziest story. i'm ashamed of our senator landrieu here in louisiana. i voted against her and i've already signed the petition to have her crazy self recalled.

  • The superintendent of my local school district used to use the title Doctor, but recently had to switch to Mister. Why did he have to do this? He and a few other high level administrators got caught using a diploma mill in order to get degrees so that their salaries would be higher. Somehow, they have been able to keep their jobs despite their blatant defrauding of public.

  • Welcome to "Chicago Style" politics, this is sadly the Chicago Way. After 32 years of living in a corrupt tax and spend city I had to move to the suburbs. People are given no bid contracts for political donations or relatives are given high paying state, county or city jobs for a politicians vote within that family. ABOMINATION ADMINSTRATION!

  • my head is hurting from YOU!

    literally

  • go away mootherfucker

    If you don't like the vids, why watch?

  • Moother, you sound like a god damn pussy to me.

  • Reid said that "only" 36,000 jobs were lost and Bunning said that Unemployment was causing people not to look for work.

    Both are collectivists at heart who said nothing about the TARP bailouts; but will eagerly kick the private sector workforce when it's down. To stir pointless controversy that benefits- well NOBODY!!!

    Politics is for entitled pricks who couldn't thrive in the private sector. That's where they all go

    to fuck it up for everyone else.

  • This is the douchiest channel ever...couldn't even get thru annoying vid. 30 seconds of my life I can never get back.

  • a better question: why do you blink now? :P

  • 1) blinds falling: no good deed, goes unpunished :)

    2) yes, the Brits have quite a sense of humor. Met many on chat forums. They're great.

    3) ONLY 36,000? It took that many taxpayers to pay Reids salary. Cut his pay, if it's no big deal.

    That's a fine idea, now that I think of it. For every 50,000 jobs we lose, we fire a congressman, and 5 senators. Let's see what they get accomplished, THEN!

    4) College tuition: you NAILED IT !

    5) LMAO @ no spell-check using commies!

    Great show!

  • The Gurdian is right. Here in Europe not to have universal healthcare is something so terrible it's considered extreme. It should be that way in the US too. Unemployment benefits are higher in the european countries with less unemployment, ergo unemployment benefits don't create unemployment. The enemployment rate in the US is NOT lower than in Europe. If the same way to messure unemployment in Europe was used in the US, the US unemployment would be twice as high as it is "oficially" today

  • Maybe green beans should use capitalism like the oil barons and market their ideal.

  • @USAGymnast

    Well it's a really good thing but that does not make all ppl to do it and this brings me back to the point I was making on WHY they are doing this.

    A lot of people are to lazy even when they are PAID to recycle but if you make them pay for not doing it more people will, or atleast thats the idea(and what I think HTWW left out of the story).

    Thank you for your respectful comment, I wish you could learn HolisticPlantHealth to interact this way.

    PETER SCHIFF FOR SENATE!

  • The US lost 651,000 jobs in February of 2009. This February we lost 36,000 even though predictions were closer to 100,000 (estimates varied). What Reid said, in context, makes a little sense. I'm beginning to find your videos offensive, HTWW (this is only one small example out of many). I used to find them informative but now it seems you either deliberately lie or mislead your viewers with bitter subjectivism just to get more viewers.

  • "I'm beginning to find your videos offensive"

    Your post just tortured me. Now go turn yourself in, war criminal.

    You jackasses wouldn't know a lie if it lived & breathed, and worshiped at the Church of Kill Whitey for TWENTY YEARS while Uncle Tom-ing its way through the Daley Machine in America's murder capital -- even if your political kind awarded it with the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for doing ... just that.

    I find your mother's existence offensive for having squirted your filth into this world.

  • "war criminal"? "you jackasses"? "worship at the church of kill whitey"? "your political kind"? First, how am I a war criminal? You read way too much into my comment. I'm no liberal. I raised a fair point and was very civil with Lee. I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so vile and perverse. I just disagree with the way Lee (in my opinion) no longer gives us interesting information but instead twists stories to his own liking. Your comment is only a reflection of your own character.

  • 5 vapid questions in a single post -- we have another LIBERAL winner. Oh, and shame of your Liberal bent is your lone sign of mental health.

    ANSWERS:

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Specifically for the reason I cited.

  • You really start to piss me off with your attacks on everyone that try to discuss the things said in this video, you are a ignorant fool that has yet to come with ANY FACTS. But I will give you some for free about this video.

    FACTS:

    Jim Matheson is NOT a senator as HTWW say.

    Scott Matheson was NOT appointed as HTWW claims, he was nominated.

    Regarding the Krugman story you should read his blog comment "Supply, Demand, and Unemployment" where he explains the whole "story" any why it's false.

  • Again, there is nothing factual about your BASELESS decrees against HTWW.

    And no matter how many times, or in how many way, you attempt to distract from that observation, reality STILL exists.

    You demonstrate that your politics are based on your never-ending hysteria that reality is seeping in and ruing everything.

    Thanks for the help.

  • In reality "HAHAHA..." isn't a word. Thus, you are a LIAR !

    (See, I can do it too.)

    Entirely unable to address ANY observation of their toxic politics, all the devout socialists can do is find infantile ways of complaining over the act of noticing. The jackass, above, demonstrates this perfectly.

    Keep going, this is fun.

  • Oh goodie, another long list of inane questions to distract from the point; the political observations.

    Do I get some kind of prize for answering your never-ending list of twaddle?

    Here's an idea:

    You tell me "the story", otherwise known as CONTEXT -- that which you earlier pretended you gave a rats ass about -- and I'll explain to you the point thereof that requires you to pretend you're too dumb to grasp, nonetheless to address.

    Do try to step up for once in your mush-minded existence.

  • Ok I will tell you the story that my last comment was about.

    HTWW says "SENATOR Jim Matheson voted NO on the recent health care bill, So Obama invited him to the WH to negotiate", HTWW continues with saying "on this same day Jim Matheson's brother Scott Matheson was APPOINTED to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit".

    After that HTWW says that he doesn't care if Scott is qualified since there is thousands of judges who are.

    Next comment

  • HTWW goes on with "this is the selling of a federal court of appeal seat for a vote on health care period, end of story, whether or not he actually changes his vote that was the very purpose of this(so HTWW is here saying that this is indisputable evidence that Obama actually did this)".

    Now we come to the part where I come in.

    I point out that Jim Matheson is NOT a SENATOR and that his brother were not APPIONTED but NOMINATED and that this was factual errors

    Next comment

  • also I might add HTWW say "brought senator Jim Matheson to the WH to negotiate with him" implying that Jim Matheson ALONE with BHO would talk about health care when in fact this is not true.

    Jim Matheson was one of 30 people(both D and R's) who were invited to the WH by the President to congratulate their efforts on supporting the PAYGO law and not to discuss health care.

    Next comment

  • On a side note HTWW has now corrected the errors and have the words 'congressman' and 'nominated' appear in the video(I find this kinda stupid since I'm pretty sure some ppl dont watch the video ALL the time but sometimes just listen).

    Republican senator Orrin Hatch said that he knew Scott Matheson was going to be nominated and have been aware of this for more than a month.

    Jim Matheson said that BHO praised his brother but didn't ask him to back on health care.

    I'm done.

  • Democrats & Obfuscation -- Life Partners

  • Do you have a link showing where you got the information that Jim Matheson was invited as one of 30 people, Republicans and Demcrats, to congratulate them for supporting PAYGO?

    Because, if I'm not mistaken, PAYGO didn't get any Republican votes at all... The four Republicans that originally supported it ended up voting against it...

  • (My information that both Democrats and Republicans was invited to the White House for their support must have been bad since Republicans voted 40-0 against it.

    I have not found a source that list the people invited so if anyone got one please share it.

    This however does not change the fact that HTWW implied that Jim Matheson was alone brought to the White House to negotiate health care and thats still not true, at least not officially.

    Thanks TheEllipsis731 for pointing this out.)

  • Now here's the RELEVANT POLITICAL POINT thereof which you desperately try to avoid:

    "

    Obama's Vietnam

    One of the "no" votes came from Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah. ... President Obama has nominated Scott Matheson, the congressman's brother, to a seat on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals: "Scott Matheson .... was his nomination used to buy off his brother's vote?"

    "

    -- WSJ

    In other words, your flawed irrelevancies are PURPOSEFUL DISTRACTIONS from the COGENT POINT made by HTWW.

  • You haven't even broached a RELEVANT FACT.

    The FACTs are that Obama tried to bribe a federal legislator by offering his brother a judgeship.

    And that is precisely what HTWW reported.

    And the fact that you expend endless amounts of energy to AVOID THE POINT means you are keenly aware that your politics are INDEFENSIBLE.

    Depravity is a CHOICE. "Moron" would be a HUGE step up for you depraved Democrats.

    CHANGE.

  • @TylerNull,

    I would just like to put my support behind BillKiernan & checkcall123.

    I too do not consider myself a liberal, but a libertarian... although if I have to deal with people like you much more I might just give up on trying to associate with any political party.

    Is HTWW your pope or something? An infallible God with which no one can debate? If anyone brings up any debate, no matter how small, someone comes along and tries to shout them down and intimidate, try making an actual point!

  • Toadie,

    No one gives a rats ass what you consider yourself, or what L-word you're hiding behind.

    The RELEVANT FACTs remain that Obama tried to bribe a federal legislator by offering his brother a judgeship.

    And that is precisely what HTWW reported.

    And that cold hard reality remains unchanged no matter how many toadies like you post your irrelevancies, or whine over the act of noticing it.

    CHANGE.

  • @TylerNull

    Remind me of what the FACTS are again? As far as I can tell Scott Matheson was nominated for a position on the 10th federal circuit court, FACT! His brother Jim is in the House of Representatives and voted against healthcare reform previously, FACT! Republican Senator Orrin Hatch thinks the bribe allegation is ridiculous, FACT! Did I miss anything? Can you show me ANYTHING that proves this was a bribe? Anything? Anything factual?

  • Anyone from the meeting he attended (where plenty of other rep.s were present, Republican & Democrat) saying that they even discussed healthcare? Anything? A phone call? Anyone questing Matheson's record? Anything? Just one thing! one!

    In fact I can't find ANYONE who says that this was definitely a bribe except for HTWW. Even the articles HE SITED just say it was a "timely appointment" (not that it was definitely a bribe).

  • Yes I always read every relevant link before I comment! And I do my own research, what do you do? Apparently sit around trying not to think & waiting to call people names.

    HTWW is NOT GOD! He can make mistakes, tell lies, get confused, & misrepresent things. He is only human! You don't even have to listen to me, hell I COULD be lying. So go out there & find something I missed. 1 piece of proof! You said HTWW proved it was a bribe, how? Show me!

    Or just call me some names and say no 1 likes me.

  • Another three posts trying to wall of the observation of Obama's sleazy politics.

    Thank HTWW for informing you, ingrate.

  • @TylerNull,

    That's all? That's it? No argument? Unable to defend yourself? Unable to bring anything to the table? Unable to think for yourself?

    Well, I guess there is nothing more to say. Anyone who hasn't suffered a massive head injury will be able to tell that you haven't made a SINGLE serious argument. To continue would be like punching a baby in the face.

    Just remember, the unexamined life is not worth living.

  • The reality that Obama tried to bribe a federal legislator by offering his brother a judgeship is a bit more than an "argument".

    That reality exists no matter how many times or by how many ways you attempt to distract from it.

    That reality exists regardless of how much you complain about the words people speak when noticing it.

  • You have no evidence, nothing. You and HTWW have failed to provide ANY EVIDENCE! One piece of evidence! I'm not trying to distract anyone, and once again you have showed me NO EVIDENCE, NOTHING.

    Just saying something is true doesn't make it true. I could say it is a FACT that you sleep with prostitutes. Prove me wrong. It's a fact so I don't need to provide evidence, you sleep with prostitutes and everyone knows it.

    See, that isn't an argument because I have provided no evidence, just like you

  • Once again, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW ME ONE!! PIECE OF EVIDENCE!

    Scott Matheson was nominated for a position on the 10th federal circuit court, FACT! His brother Jim is in the House of Representatives and voted against healthcare reform previously, FACT!

    It's on the green, all you have to do is tap it in with A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE! ANYTHING! If you CAN'T do that, STOP TALKING, if you can DO IT. Don't waste peoples time by AVOIDING THE QUESTION!

  • Your inability to connect two adjacent dots continues to impress.

    Then again, if Democrats allowed reality to seep into their politics, then they wouldn't be Democrats.

  • Proof doesn't require connecting dots. Proof requires evidence, evidence which you can't provide.

    So one more time, I have not missed any of the facts, I just draw a different conclusion than you, correct?

    There is no fact that I have missed that would hurt my point, is there? I am fully aware of everything you said and disagree. I have not seen any proof, you say that the very same things that I have read ARE proof. Apparently some kind of proof that I can't see.

  • Obama had no right to nominate a representatives brother to the circuit court of appeals, and in your mind, if he does that there can be no doubt that it is a bribe. No more proof or information is required. Simply appointing the brother of a representative is by definition bribery, no matter how many Republicans say it is not. There is no way around it, Matheson's nomination should not have even been considered.

    Is that correct?

  • Not only does "proof" require connecting dots, it requires the full range of tools used during intellectual inquiry. Perhaps if your scientific illiteracy weren't so perfect, you Useful Idiots wouldn't squeal "prove it" whenever caught red-handed.

    It's not that you're ALL nincompoops, but that you are depraved. The later being your consistent CHOICE, as your baby-bone-snapping politics require of its devotees.

    CHANGE.

  • Once again you don't answer anything I asked. One can only assume you have no answer because you have never been able to answer anything I say, but keep repeating yourself.

    You also seem like kind of a weirdo.

    "baby-bone-snapping politics" is that even a phrase? Or are you a freak?

    ANSWER A QUESTION EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE!!

    There is no FACT that I have missed that would hurt my point, is there?

  • In your mind, by definition, nominating the brother of a Representative that disagrees with you is a bribe, correct?

    Two simple questions. I can't really make this any simpler. Assuming you understand how to read I don't understand why you can't answer them. Yes, no, or whatever the hell you want to say.

    You can't answer it for some reason. Either you're an idiot, or your avoiding it. So EITHER SHUT UP OR ANSWER MY QUESTIONS? Why would you keep talking if you aren't responding to me!

  • PINK POLYESTER

    (see above)

  • I said if you don't have an answer stop talking. The only thing I am interested in is you defending yourself. If you refuse to defend your argument then there is nothing to talk about, and I win ;)

  • Oops, you did it again.

    One last time, you last-word freak: Observing published reports is a bit more than an "argument". Your mental dysfunctions don't necessitate any "defense" on anyone else's part. In other words, (see above) ...

    PINK POLYESTER

  • I've read the published reports. None of them claim to PROVE that a bribe happened. None of them, did you read them?

  • They just speculate about the POSSIBILITY

  • @AHBritton He's insane, I think most people understand that HTWW is presenting misleading information just by looking on the Reid Story.

    TyllerNull live in a dream world where Obama how wrong he may be, somehow is the new Hitler and HTWW's word equals truth?!

    People like TylerNull is the reason that Americans are considered to be stupid by many around the world (USA score among the lowest national avg. IQ(98) in the developed countries of the world).

    Thank God for ppl like you Britton!

  • Thanks. I just wish more people cared about the truth than supporting their own team. It's like trying to deprogram a cult member over the internet, I don't think it'll happen. But I try anyways.

    So just remember checkcall123:

    CHANGE!

    PINK POLYESTER!

  • @checkcall123 No... HTWW is pointing out REID's misinformation, you jack ass.

  • Google

    "February 36,000 jobs Fox News"

    if you really think USA lost 900,000 jobs....

    Good try though "jack ass", you real don't think their is factual errors in this video?

    And do you mean that the misinformation is that USA lost 36,000 that day or that month?

    Or do you mean HTWW pointed out that that it should be the whole month and silly Reid said 36,000 that day?!

    Or does HTWW emphasize that Reid think it's a good thing that USA only lost 36,000 jobs that day?

  • Kinda funny you come here and call me a "jack ass" but you don't take the time to check the facts before you post.

    On another note that we probably agree on, have you seen the new shocking facts presented in Kent Hovinds book?

    Ignoramus...

  • Comment removed

  • @TylerNull

    Ok, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but could you please provide any proof that America lost 36,000 jobs in one day(March 5 2010), I'm really bad at connecting dots.

    I guess that has to do with living in a socialist country like Sweden and voting for the party currently in charge.

    Keywords in their ideology: Support of free market economy, privatisation, personal freedom, tax cuts and reduction of government. Or as you would probably call it, the definition of socialism.

  • @TylerNull

    I have already explained why it's highly unlikely that "fact" of yours is true.

    Not only have you been owned by me, AHBritton have abused your ignorant(and racist?) mind with facts.

    Krugman story is 100% false and It's sad that you and many others just take HTWW's word as the truth.

    You have no connection with the real world, yet you talk about reality =].

    I feel sorry for you and anyone that have to communicate with you in real life.

    Facts always>opinions

  • You still don't understand that I think it's plausible that this story may be true but it's not a FACT(that's only in your head).

    HTWW did present the story in a misleading way.

    "on the same say..."

    American Bar Association evaluation was made in Jan and before that FBI background check.

    Meaning that the decision to nominate Scott was made last year and not on the same day as Jim was invited to the WH with 30 other ppl(not talking about health care).

  • I would claim that nomination makes it harder for Jim Matheson to change his position on health care as then it would look like he DID take a bribe from the President.

    So if Obama really had a intention to use Scott's nomination as leverage not only did he nominate Scott months before he was going to use this leverage he also made it so that Jim Matheson would commit political suicide if he changes his vote.

  • So Obama and his advisors have to be really stupid to come up with this idea and he did become the President so I doubt they are THAT stupid.

    Is this also irrelevant nonsense and make no sense at all to you or is it at least possible that Obama and his staff isn't this stupid and didn't try to buy a vote?

    And I repeat I'm not American nor am I a Democrat, I do care about US politics since it's affect the whole world and it's important that your country is strong.

  • Write a novel.

    And you can "repeat" your idiocies all day long, but it won't change your politics, which are DEMOCRAT.

    In the CONTEXT of this topic, it matters not whether you are a dhimmified Swede or one of the parasitic Muslims infesting their nation. You are here proselytizing for Democrats.

    You are here distracting from the relevant point which exposes Democrat sleaze and your purpose is to defend Democrats, and you do so by slandering those who expose them.

    Again -- CONTEXT.

  • "Is this also irrelevant nonsense and make no sense at all to you or is it at least possible that Obama and his staff isn't this stupid and didn't try to buy a vote?"

    CAN YOU PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS?

    And I support almost everything Peter Schiff say, so by your logic I should be a Republican, how can I be Democrat because we disagree on this subject

    And no I'm not muslim and I HATE sharia laws how is it slander when I point out factual errors, and give my opionin and ask where Im wrong?

  • Give my condolences to your mother.

  • @checkcall123 welcome to the u.s, where if someone doesn't agree with you, they must be a liberal or democrat (if you're a conservative) or a conservative (if you're a liberal or democrat). most people don't understand not everyone is either one or the other.

  • "the word BASELESS" sry forgott to spell-check(pun intended)

  • I understand, but recycling is good, though I do it by choice, I agree that government regulation of it is a little out of control. Recycling is OK with me, it's not in the realm of Enviro-Marxism.

  • @TheConservatveLibral

    I agree with you. I also recycle. Its not a bad thing, I would rather reuse some materials than harvest them. I, even as a republican, enjoy trees and the wilderness (scenery and hunting as it may be for) as well.

  • Actually, I'm subscribed to Peter Schiff lol... But there was an episode that I missed lately so, you might be right...

  • And of course thats how it works in MANY countries including the UK, the whole point is to make them RECYCLE more because many are so lazy that even if they get paid to recycle things they rather just throw everything in the same place.

    But of course you didn't bother to research this before you posted your comment, you heard the word tax and just KNEW it was some b*llsh*t!

    To be fair the same is true for HTWW.

  • @ checkcall123 no, what is bullshit is your posts, pointless BS.

    So lets get this straight, in order to post any comments , any comments at all... I must be a Expert on world recycling and trash collection and the taxation methods of the two.

    Wait did I walk into the a world that works by paying attention to assholes (?) Oh nope, this is "how the world works" , and In my world we don't give a fuck what assholes like yourself think.

    So yeah

    Fuck off

    I'll post what when and where I want ...

  • @HolisticPlantHealth

    Wow, the only thing I did was to explain to you that this story and the way HTWW tells it is missleading and I tried to explain to you why and how it actually works and that you should actually look in to things before you make opinion.

    And WHERE did I say you need to be a expert on world recycling to post ANY COMMENT AT ALL?!

    Nice respectful answer btw...

  • whatever checkcall123,

    Your implications were clear as day and respect has to be given to be received when you are the first to interact with someone.

  • My point was that you WITHOUT any real proof or any type of confirmation accepted HTWW word to be true, and the claims he made was that The President of The United States is involved in bribery

    ("No matter how you look at it (without turning a blind eye) that's some scaming BS bribery.")

    First thing is that Jim Matheson is not a senator as HTWW state, second his brother Scott was nominated not appointed as HTWW claims, in my opionion two pretty big factual errors if you ask me.

  • checkcall123 where the hell was that point hidden ? In your ass ? You jumped on me for for making a statement about recycling and now you want to jump on me for having an opinion and expressing it , by criticizing me over another persons statements. All from the assumption that I did NO research...

    Here is a news flash for you

    well ok here is a HTWW new flash for you from the real world, the president and our government at all levels do things including and allot worse than bribery.

  • @ checkcall123 You want proof of bribery? Pay attention... it's all over you TV screen, the internet, and especially the radio (thank god for Rush, Sean and Mark). These will provide you with the most proof you'll find anywhere. These are politicians my friend, they cover their own tracks well and 95% of them have a price tag on their foreheads screaming "LOBBYIST!"

  • Krugman v. Krugman

    ... HILARIOUS.

    Evidently, it's too much to ask of socialists who hide behind the L-word to limit their fake outrages to observations of reality they haven't accidentally acknowledged already themselves.

    The best we can do for these Obama-bot jackasses and their civilization-exterminating politics is to elevate them to nothing but a long running bad joke against humanity. And the only way to raise them to that level is to keep them out of government offices.

    Godspeed.

  • "Really ...?"

    Really.

    "I also guess that you ...were OUTRAGED when Bush ..."

    Yes, most Americans were disgusted that President Bush governed like a Democrat, domestically.

    Now, how about addressing the point. Step up and give it a try.

  • Uhm you mean the point that I have already made, that the statement made by HTWW about Krugman is FALSE and taken out of context?

    And lol @ the ppl giving me a thumbs down(probably without any own investigating regarding the Krugman story).

    Please explain to me again how I should step up and adress the point? Have you adressed my point about the Krugman story? That was what I was responding to in your comment.

  • "Um you mean ...?"

    Um your baseless decree is just that.

    Perhaps if your politics allowed for thinking, then you would offer someting more than a baseless decree backed by nothing whatsoever.

    Then again, if your politics allowed for thinking, your baseless decree wouldn't be, itself, just a stale recital of the failed "out of context" hilarity that culminated in Obama throwing his racist mentor under the bus after worshiping at his racist church for twenty years.

    "Out of context", my ass.

  • You still haven't answered anything I said.

    "Perhaps if your politics allowed for thinking, then you would offer someting more than a baseless decree backed by nothing whatsoever." (what do you mean, my politics?)

    It's funny since I'm the one that DID provide information on the subject about Krugman, so why do you keep bashing me instead of actually talk about the that?

    And why does my post's get multiple thumbs down when I'm only trying to have a respectful discussion?

  • In fact, you offered NO information on the "subject about Krugman". Instead you made a baseless decree that HTWW had taken Krugman "out of context". Aside from denying the published reports to which he pointed, as you do, you backed up your BASELESS DECREE with ....

    .... absolutely nothing what-so-ever.

    CHANGE! (Please do.)

  • I already tore this argument apart elsewhere. Krugman actually addressed it on his blog as well. It's titled: "Supply, Demand, and Unemployment"

    I also point to the very same textbook and found parts where he talks about the stimulative effect of unemployment benefits. You don't have to agree with his economics (I'm beginning to doubt you know ANYTHING about economics) but there is no way to claim that he is not consistent between his textbook and his editorial.

  • I've severely demolished this argument elsewhere in this comment section.

    But here's Krugman "this is a good time to explain the difference between determinants of the NAIRU — the minimum rate of unemployment consistent with a stable inflation rate — and the determinants of the unemployment rate at a point in time."

    "Everyone agrees that really generous unemployment benefits, by reducing the incentive to seek jobs, can raise the NAIRU;

  • that is, set limits to how far down you can push unemployment without running into inflation problems."

    "But in case you havent noticed, thats not the problem constraining job growth in America right now. Wage growth is declining, not rising, and so is overall inflation."

    "unemployment benefits are a good, quick, administratively easy way to increase demand, which is what we really need. So right now they have the effect of reducing unemployment."

  • Now, I doubt you even understand what he is talking about, so let me translate:

    That is all perfectly consistent with his college Macroeconomics textbook interpretations as a Nobel Prize Winning, PHD economist, and Princeton Economics Professor.

    There are economists who disagree, who are from a different school of economic thought, but that doesn't make Krugman a hypocrite. As he pointed out in the original editorial, the mainstream, highly accredited CBO agrees with him.

  • You should watch Peter Schiff's video "Fast Money, unemployment, big government " uploaded on the 9th of mars this year.

    He explains why the argument Paul Krugman has regarding unemployment benefits is wrong and why it actually hurts the economy rather then help it.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT MAKE PAUL KRUGMAN A HYPOCRITE(and that's what I have been saying all this time).

    Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you about the Krugman subject now? Or is this also Democrat nonsense?

  • Colleges have very few options to control costs. Raising tuition is one of the few options between layoffs and reducing academic programs. Many of them are carrying several hundred million dollars of debt. Would you like to see if the government will bailout colleges?

  • Imagine if Bush said while running for reelection: "Only X number of people lost their jobs last month."

    The Dems and the antique media would go berzerk!

  • Great job Lee,even with the natural lighting!

  • "socialist worker" is an oxymoron

  • Those signs are precious :D

  • And we wonder why are justice system is corrupt and messed up.

  • The lefty RETAAAAARDS! Haha!

  • Krugman= flip flop

    just like Kay Bailey Hutchinson
