Charlie Rose - Arianna Huffington

[Xarkonul]

Arianna Huffington believes not every issue has two sides. She demonstrates her dictatorial tendencies through the policies of her website, The Huffington Post, where only the “right” opinions are allowed. When I recently used The Huffington Post’s own figures to create my “Joe Averageguy” analogy, which argues that global temperatures have leveled off since 1998, The Huffy Don’t Post deleted my comments and removed my profile, Xarkonul. Please see my YouTube channel (Xarkonul).

[minskiha]

Firstly, just in case you didn't know, I was replying to a post by 4mitttheman about of lack of substance in his rant about Arianna Huffington, and more important, about THIS PARTICULAR video.

Secondly, I agreed with the part of your comment about her website's allowing the author of posts to censor criticism--they shouldn't have that right on a discussion forum. As for the other parts, that's just rhetorical language at best--you could've made a stronger point without them.

[jmshaw357]

Heres how 'deep' AH is: she was a lifelong conservative and then her marriage went in the toilet--her husband turned out to be a homosexual--you figure out the implications of that. So she was adrift for awhile, and then she met some guy who was a liberal and had a massive sexual appetite and started fcuking her lights out every night until she became a liberal. Sounds weird, but she mentioned this in her 'conversion' story some time ago. She's smart, but with no morality.

[noreast77]

@jmshaw357 exactly, her new liberal boy probably smoked weed with her and it blew out her square mind. Here she is doing what she does best, talking about herself! This woman grates on my ears- even with the volume muted. Just her lips moving is enough to know she is thinking about how wonderful she thinks she is, even if she is talking about something else, darling.

[Tomaji69]

@noreast77 - Everybody should smoke pot...then we'd all get along and cooperate WITH each other. Those who do NOT smoke may be the biggest problem...they are in FEAR all the time and want to CONTROL everything, rather than ahhhhhh, relax and float downstream with all your brothers and sisters.

[noreast77]

@Tomaji69 yeah basically. 

[atrueagenda]

Arianna, I played your game " Try and determine if the flight attendants are old Northwest" I find you can VERY easily tell, by how soom you get your beverage. If it is an old NWA flight attendant ( VERY hard and fast workers) You get your beverage and snack in a matter of MINUTES. If it is a delta flight attendant crew...you are VERY lucky if you get a beverage within an HOUR.. SLOW Southern hospitality.

[zmelon]

I've met and adore Arianna!!! She is such a sweet & kind lady!!! She's got my vote anytime.

[zmelon]

I LOVE Arianna!!! She makes ssssoooo much sense!!! <3 HER~!!

[boomac62]

she is great, what a gift to our nation.

[sergiogcx]

I wonder if Charlie can listen to Arianna with any seriousness. I can tall Charlie is trying not to laugh! Hahahaha!

Liberal policy and socialism have destroyed Greece where she is from, is she trying to bring that to the USA ??!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[pwoods100]

@sergiogcx I love her! I'll take her over Sarah Palin anyday.

[n5ifi]

Has anyone else noticed that the moderators on Huffington Post block any comments contrary to what Arianna Huffington has posted? In other words if you try to post something contrary to what she has written it gets blocked. She is a communist.

[liberalssuckballs]

Today I read an article on her site by Ex-Gov of NY Mario Cuomo. In this article Cuomo compares Obama to Abraham Lincoln. Cuomo lists all the things Lincoln had done (freed slaves, etc).

Then he talks about what Obama has done. Sad thing was, he couldn't actually mention ONE DAMN THING Obama had actually done but rather gloats ad nauseam on how great he's made people "feel" in his speeches.

If making people feel good before you screw them is change we can all believe in, then F**K CHANGE!!

[satyricon451]

That's Cuomo's folly, making claims that can't be supported. That's not on Obama. If Obama suspended Habeas Corpus, then he'd definitely be like Lincoln. But think about it, how long has Obama been in office? Heck it took Lincoln about two years to get the Emancipation Proclamation issued.

Cuomo's being a fool. It's when conservatives make false attributions that they too 'suck balls,' a term your name so eloquently enlists.

[cdflip78]

What I wouldn't do to just smash a pie in this idiot's face!

[gtar90]

She sounds like a moron when she says every story doesn't have a dichotomy because she refers to the flat earth idea and the holocaust having only one side but those are proven objective facts that aren't really debatable like global warming is

[minskiha]

You cannot seriously compare Huffington to Limbaugh. Huffington never continuously spread vile comments or lies over the airwaves. She never said things like "Mexicans are stupid and unqualified" or call service members "phony soldiers" because they oppose the war. She never spread blatant lies like, "gaps between the haves and have-nots" don't exist when the income of the richest to poorest is 20-1 .

[4mittheman]

This woman's voice makes me sick. She thinks everyone that disagrees with her is WRONG. She got all of her money from her rich republican husband when she divorced him. Now she thinks she is a goddess sent to earth to make everything right. Anyone that beleives the bile she spews from that cut under her nose is nieve.

[minskiha]

You resort to ad hominem attacks when you have nothing of substance to say about her conversation. Clever.

[4mittheman]

She is the Rush Limbaugh of the left. Both of them attack the other side with hate filled sarcasm. If they didn't, they could not make any money at what they do. And that's what it all boils down to; both of them are in this for the money. They don't care about you and they don't care about me. Limbaugh and Huffington are both greedy self righteous individuals. Anyone the falls for their rhetoric is just falling into their trap.

[noreast77]

@minskiha here is something: she comes to our country because it is so great with all our freedoms and creates a web site that censors critisism of the authors or anything that is not sufficiently ultra-zionist. Just like an elitist pig to deny that which you yourself values so much.

[lunargoddess2002]

If she makes you so sick, why are you watching all the videos on youtube and posting to tell us how much you hate her. Just don't watch her videos and you'll feel 100% better. Sick feeling gone and all.

[stealthswimmer]

I think she's hot and has a hot accent...but I also think that she's wrong on a lotta stuff (especially economics since she's all for lots of government intervention in the market) and she has a bad habit of thinking everyone who disagrees with her is wrong or that they're wrong if they word something in a way that she dislikes, lol.

[harolddrake]

All you fanatical right wingnuts have to say about liberals is that they're always 'spewing' things. You need to get Limbaugh to come up with a new term for you to use. How about 'disgorge'? That sounds pretty vile. Something you should like.

[amgilberty]

haha

[cdflip78]

Or I could just mention that liberals are gutless waifs. No one told me that, I just listen to their wimplike comments

[harolddrake]

Liberals are 'waifs'? I've never heard that one. Guess I need to catch up on my Limbauseaums.

[cdflip78]

Or you could try new material other than claiming every name comes from Limbaugh. That's real original when you use it 10 times. So I guess I can declare that all liberal commentary is based upon that assclown Keith Olberman.

[harolddrake]

The GOP certainly bows down to the almighty Slimebaugh. Gingrey obediently got  down on his knees.

[cdflip78]

Wow... still with the same material... if the entire party did.. McCain never would have been the nominee.... but good try though

[harolddrake]

Thankfully some Republicans aren't nuts. Same could be said for Democrats. McCain is a decent guy.

[Pleblian]

If it wasn't Rev Write, it would have been someone else. As long as it was someone that makes Obama looks like he's going to through whitey to the back of the bus so they can justify there bigotry.

[8data]

these two should bang

[TheLogicJunkie]

Because the name of the game is to seize "oppressed underdog" status first. In this passive-aggressive, sneaky culture, whoever plays the victim gets automatic sympathy support for their cause, no matter how crooked.

[piratelove38]

amazing the hostility this woman is getting from you posters. If a man was saying what she was saying, he'd be getting congrats and admiration and a nice pat on the back.

grow up you fucking sexists.

[tqd86]

feminazi much?

[piratelove38]

mmmm yeahhh...feminazis are yummy.

:p

[AgrarianReformist]

Sorry but we ARE debating whether the 'holocaust' existed. Or at least we would be if the revisionists weren't imprisoned or subject to ruination thanks to "holocaust denial" laws.

[opossumland5]

two stupid freedom hating global warming liars. Anyone who believes in this man made global warming bullshit has brain damage.

[jpjonesy]

Arianna Huffington is a skank. An a**-kissing lying skank. F*ck You, Arianna you Bitch!

[bonzelite]

the climate is changing, sure. If you believe it's all due to human intervention then you believe in Unicorns.

[tonireed1]

Charlie is okay. The problem with Charlie is he cannot go too far IN with his guests--particularly the artists--because he does not 'get' too many things. He has no street smarts, no intuitive sense, and he has no idea of how artists can BE other than themselves when they are in the zone creating art. He is a young soul with a green consciousness--he has no KNOWING FEEL. Then again not too many do. Most people are linear that's why Jasper Johns is popular. All idea--no FEEL!

[fuhrc08]

NEW YORKS A DUMP.

[waytooambitious]

New York is where I'd rather stay! I just abhore smelling hay! Darling I love you, but give me Park Avenue.

Arianna doesn't even realize how flippantly she demeans the populace, those who didn't find power and fame and wealth by marrying a man with a great-sounding name. She is convinced that it is the media - and only the media - who elects the President, and has the right and power to do so.

Darling, I love you but give me Park Avenue.

[CaptPoco]

Ahh, the Huffington Puffington Post

[Achilles222]

When Arianna was a conservative gold digger, she continually spouted rightist cliches. Since she has found more potential to advance herself on the left, she spouts leftist cliches. She is Exhibit A in the case to restrict immigration.

[julienl2006]

Lol!

[nmfd72]

Thank God there is only one of her! Another Visionary in her own mind. Go to bed already!

[arsh89]

This interview seemed kinda strained & awkward. Charlie conducts some amazing interviews that are really intellectually stimulating. Her liberal pandering and conservative bashing seemed way too on-sided to seem like a genuine intellectual discussion in ideology. (As far as I'm concerned, the libs in congress should be rotating over the fire with the conservatives). it transformed the awesomeness of the show to another Sunday morning punditry session or a FOX/MSNBC/ABC/CNN "political panel".

[piratelove38]

I disagree with you. I think she's just saying what no one else wants to say, that something is very wrong with the way our government is running. And I think her ideas about how government shouldn't be so partisan and strictly two-sided is very intellectually stimulating indeed.

[machngunjoe]

I love her accent..omg THAT TOTALLY OVERRIDES THE FACT SSHE LIKES FOX NEWS.

[isgoodno]

she doesn't like fox news. She's a hard-core liberal now.

The Fox news comment was merely a sarcastic snipe.

[ixfxi]

like most greeks, drink enough coffee and smoke enough cigarettes and you too can sound like Marge from the Simpsons. if she had any pride she would've kept her last name. she's so full of herself and is too busy running her mouth instead of listening. i dont like arnold as governor but i sure has hell dont like her.

[isgoodno]

I've never understood how someone can make vast fortunes simply spouting her own opinion. What a racket.

To top it off, this clown has changed her world view 180 degrees, and people still listen to her dribble.

Only in America...

In any other country, she'd be selling bras to the other bigmouth opinionated bytches.

[stealthswimmer]

I agree. I still think she's got a hot accent though. =D

[meiowalot]

Her politics and mine are way out of sync, but I think she is sexy as hell.

[stealthswimmer]

agreed!

[julienl2006]

I second that thought.

[EffLabels]

@meiowalot lol yeah, Greeks are sexy

[Chandlerbin2006]

Slavery IS wrong, that's why we need to abolish the income tax and the Federal Reserve.

[jeffhegarty]

No way can you compare a tax to slavery. They are too completely different and unrelated concepts. That's like Grover Norquist comparing the estate tax to the Holocaust.

[Chandlerbin2006]

If I forced you to give me your labor or the fruits of your labor, you are my slave. That is what the government is doing, they force you to give up some % of the fruits of your labor "income".

[jeffhegarty]

I understand those anti-tax arguments, but believe me, if you were taxed for 90% of your income, you still wouldn't know what slavery feels like. It's a whole new form of degradation several universes away from your tax returns

[julienl2006]

My slaves shouldn't be taxed. That's just common sense.

[jeffhegarty]

Who cares if you have to tax them? The fact that they're there means that you don't have to pay them. That brings the cost down. Bob's your uncle. Boy I feel like such an asshole after saying those things. Apologies to anyone who reads this who is descended from slaves.

[dogstar7]

Arianna Huffington: The single most significant editor-in-chief to come out of the blogisphere.

[chumashfalcon]

I like her, but her website is the liberal equivalent of a cheap tabloid newspaper. A lot of celebrity worship and gossip, not enough investigative journalism.

[dogstar7]

Thanks for your opinion.
