February 27, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[happybunny2727]

thats my bday! wow.....

[wvfisherguy]

Obama's administration is crumbling around him.

[evenjesuspooped]

breaking news: conservatives like little boys!

[producering8]

como se proteje a l pueblo de los dchos .civiles, es una ideologia de yo decido que piensas, y como actuas?

[bellacarmesi]

That kid's voice is annoying... Where the hell is his mother? Didn't we see what a rookie getting involved in politics do to Sarah Palin? He gets entrenched and does something stupid that kids naturally do, and he's fucked.

[HowardSternn]

The far Right has to look to Limbough and a little douchebag as there future leaders of the Rnc.

Bababooey

[plazmatical1]

Well, I bet you regret that comment now. A half of the nation hates Obama and his administration. His, "Green Jobs 'Czar'," has just resigned. Biden is distancing himself from the administration. Health care took a dive and killed over. It's only a matter of time before the democratic party collapses.

[Inmate527]

His voice is weird as shit.

[theconverser]

Wow, worst piece of spliced crap I've seen in awhile.

[4Barbudos]

14 year old dickwad vs Caribou Barbie

Wow the GOP is loaded ! (hahaha)

[4Barbudos]

New GOP Slogan ~

"Only those 13 year olds dumb enough to still believe in Santa ... believe our epicly idiotic bull$hit."

[Gold777Silver]

With Fox's daily lie of "fair & balanced", Fox "news' proves again to be "unfair, imbalanced & unashamed" Even owner Murdoch finally admitted to a right-wing agenda, he couldn't hide it after Bush hired Fox's Tony Snow and Fox hired Karl Rove. Bush had 8 years to fix things, instead he spent trillions, borrowed a trillion from communist China, and kept billions off the books so the next President would be blamed for his debts. As predicted, Fox started blaming Obama before he even took office.

[plazmatical1]

Obama hired communist Van Jones, and he resigned from office just hours ago. FOX now has the highest ratings in the country. The democratic party is on the verge of destruction. The American people are finally waking up.

[nicck]

@plazmatical1 If you're from the rest of the world, you'd see that FOX news is as far from a news outlet as possible. It's verging on propaganda. If anything the US political thought is slowly falling asleep, snuggling up to it's own ass hole.

[honhanguyen]

Coul he be a reincarnation of Ronal Reagan?

Some kids could play piano at age 3, speak 5 languages at age 5, solve complcated mathematic problems at age 12, this one chooses politics. So, no surprise.

[knoose]

The GOP is now a Circus act to laugh at...

[DrChill2]

This reminds me of a young preacher of the same age. All of this, his demeanor and attitude parrots blow hards like Limbaugh, and reflects no original thought. I don't expect 14 year olds to, but the fact that he's been able to package himself in such a way that the CPAC is embracing him, shows how desperate they are.

I'm happy he can read and write so well, but the kid needs a healthy dose of humility.

Check out the last paragraph of the March 8th NYT on "Little Mr Conservative."

[theoreticalrecords]

I don't agree or disagree with the parents or the kid, but respect he has accomplished more than most by writing this book. He just is promoting his notion of what conservatism means, it does not have anything to do with republicans. Republicans and democrats use the terms conservatism and liberalism, often incorrectly, to promote their parties or denounce their foes. He is just trying to clear the muddy waters of political jargon, i give him props for that and he is a cooler kid than most.

[LainGaara]

His parents has nothing to do with it. His mother isn't into politics and she finds it boring. The boy got into politics at age 8 on his own accord. Get your information correct and stop assuming his parents are to blame for the child speaking out his opinion! These are his views NOT his parents. What do you know of what this child knows, hes very well educated than most and he seems to know what he believes in and shares his opinions openly without being rude about it like most of you are!

[Bag2218]

LOL well the fact that he started this crap without his parents help is even worse! That kid needs to get a life if what he does for fun is listen to latest political news. I just don't like him cuz he comes across as a know it all bastard who would try and talk down to you if you tried having a conversation with him. But seriously, he needs to enjoy being a kid, which means go outside, play video games, have friends that aren't 40 year old republicans, maybe even get a girlfriend.

[koalabear09]

wow.

the GOP must be knee deep in it if they're letting a 13 yr old boy be their poster child for the CPAC.

shouldn't this kid be going to movies, hanging out with friends (of his own age), and getting crushes on girls?

poor thing is gonna come out to be one bitter adult once he realizes his childhood is gone.

[didikakanell]

I would love a fair trial(for child abuse) to put his parents behind bars for taking away his childhood, and i would send him just for one day in Iraq to spend some time with his friends that are missing some of their limbs...and what he talks is non sense, or it only make sense to those who can't think, sorry little boy

[ashleo2531]

I can't believe you guys are shitting on a 14 year old shit I am 23 years old and hes smarter than I am lmao. And to call the kid a loser what the fuck is wrong with you guys?!

[cpuf1xer]

Video is pure garbage. Mr. Krohn should be commended for his principles and beliefs. The true losers are the makers of this video and those who stand by it.

[EPU01]

kids is Jonathon Krohn

[madest]

Bounce any checks lately Newt?

[superarm888]

lol kid is a loser a double loser lol nice vid . America Live On!

[annarboriter]

Yeah, the GOP just jumped the shark of relevancy and gravitas. I hear echoes of cousin Oliver joining the Brady Bunch to milk the series for one last season.

[OLKID2000]

I wonder: is that the "genius" ? The GOP is really dead ! Now a fool and brainwashed kid ! Come on, the show must go on...

Next episode, a woman cut into two pieces !!!

[Tommunist07]

What the fuck? When I was 13 everyone just played fuckin Nintendo.

[cpuf1xer]

Your vocabulary reflects the fact that all you did is play Nintendo. Jonathon's reflects a higher standard.

[moviewizmelonie]

lmao, i'd bet a buck that you are johnny krohn.

[Tommunist07]

No, Jonathon's vocabulary reflects that all he does is stay inside reading books instead of playing sports, socializing, or listening/ learning music.

I've met people like that, when I was 12 there was a kid in my class who read books such as "Physics of the Impossible" sure, he's smart, but he had no friends and it wasn't because he had glasses and all that, it was because he was a fag like Jonathon because, you guessed it, he didn't socialize. There's more to life than books, buddy.

[Inmate527]

Jonathon reflects brainwash and republican douchebagism.

[GretchenDawntreader]

that 13 year old kid talking about the principles of conservatism is like the child of a Jehovah's Witness ringing your bell to recite stuff about Jesus while his dad sits in the car. Can't possibly know what he's talking about.

But then again most of the adults are reciting talking points they got sent on their blackberries. Maybe they are all children.

[shaqqy88]

13 year olds should really not be that mature. damn.

[ManufacturedThoughts]

He is totally a Log Cabin Republican

[iamafractal]

conservatives = protecting people's rights? wow. that brainwashed kid WAS born yesterday. maybe protecting people's rights, if they are a CEO of Exxon or something.

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

Sure, Obama who wants to steal our money and give it to lazy assholes who don't deserve shit is protecting my righs. The same guy who wants to ban a semi automati hunting rifle is protecting my rights. I doubt he's the one thats brainwashed.

[PVTSolis]

Steal your money? Are you a millionaire?

[tommygun6644]

Not just millionaires pay taxes, dipshit. The middle class tax payer is NOT recieving a tax cut. The top 5% cannot pay for Obama's socialist programs, if you believe that you are a FOOL.

I suggest you look at the $ 1.27 tax hike on a single gallon of gas burried within his budget. Won't get that from Obly.

[Tinils]

"The middle class tax payer is NOT recieving a tax cut."....please explain?

i take it you make a cool .25+ million a year? congratz Mr Personal Responsobility...keep at it while 95% of the country dies....This "survival of the fittest", let them die or go out of business etc etc..is getting fkn old

[PVTSolis]

Of course. Obama's plan is going to run on borrowed money which the Republicans ignored when there party was the one doing it. Bring up the tax rate from 38 percent to 35 will not finance the stimulus. As for the $1.27 gas tax hike I can't find that anywhere. Chalk that up to the liberal intertubes I guess. Any sources? Anything aside from a link to worldnet daily would work.

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

It doesn't matter as long as you WORK for YOUR money. What are you? a lazy bum who rather suck governments dick for cash, that seems to be the mentality of a lot of people today.

[Tinils]

"The middle class tax payer is NOT recieving a tax cut."....please explain?

i take it you make a cool .25+ million a year? congratz Mr Personal Responsobility...keep at it while 95% of the country dies....This "survival of the fittest", let them die or go out of business etc etc..is getting fkn old

[tommygun6644]

The "Tax cut for 95% of Americans" your teleprompter Jesus is giving you is a cool 13 dollars a week for the average American.

His new tax on carbon emissions is going to cost the average american potentially hundreds extr a month. MIT estimated gas will be taxed upto $1.27 extra a GALLON. Please do some research.

[PVTSolis]

So the taxcut would be 676 dollars a year. Thats actually more money for working families than Bush gave when he touted "tax cuts" to working families. Of course, he was simply greasing the knob of the top 5 percent who were the ones the tax cuts were actually meant for.

[tommygun6644]

Read the second part of my comment. His new carbon tax will actually result in a tax hike. But I know liberals filter out the truth.

[PVTSolis]

MIT. Got it. I'm asking where you found the information...

[blwuguy10]

You need a semi automatic rifle to  murder animals? way to seek the challenge of the hunt. watch deer hunter- one bullet, one shot, one kill, not a fusillade of bullets ribbing apart bambi.

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

That doesn't matter either, I don't hunt but if you ban a once legal gun you are infringing upon my 2nd amendment rights, that's all there is to it. and a semi automatic rifle can serve many more purposes other than hunting, such as my preference simple target shooting.

[tommygun6644]

Banning assault weapons is not about protecting animals; a 30.06 hunting round will do more damage to a deer then any 5.56 round will from an AR-15.

It's about POWER. Not even about crime control; nearly all murders with assault weapons are done with illegal imported AK-47s and such, not legally obtained AR-15s. What do people need an assault rifle for? When the government tries to come and take it.

[PVTSolis]

David Koresh? Is that you?

[aelleo]

fuck the nwo

[jibbi4one]

Conservatives are Fabians in drag.

Socialist have more in common with conservatives than with liberals because the moral is privilege through rule by central planning.

[symphix]

Jonathan Krohn, that kid is in the wrong fucking party. He thinks conservatives a preserving rights. He's a kid. I hope he turns queer and shouts, "Where's my right?".

Kids speaking at the CPAC? The Republicans have lost my respect. Completely. They are some good Republicans who really do mean what they say but this is just pandering. Libertarian party will be the ones that will come up but the Dems will stay.

[kargenlewis]

republican anti-christ child alert! wooot wooot! we have him on film. all bow to your new world leader!

[gluci33]

the gop is going to die and the libertarian party will rise from its ashes.

[greyflcn]

re: gluci33

==the gop is going to die and the libertarian party will rise from its ashes.==

Or merely just the "Spending is bad when a Democrat does it" party.

[mike50333]

I feel so sorry for this poor kid. He's being thrust onto center stage of a failing political party. Can you imagine the backlash he'll get for speaking on behalf of this party? He'll never sleep with both eyes closed again...

[GJB7733]

Eric Holder needs to go die in a fire.

[chick5581]

thot parkour was meant to be non competitive? world champ? i have a coton but mine is fat

[digamejh]

It's official.

The GOP ruined "Eye of the Tiger."

[animeownage86]

You know that accelerated time look? Like when something get's old real quick and turns to ash that's what happens to anything that the GOP touches.

[pakratmak]

Was that Joe the Plumber's kid?

[animeownage86]

You mean Joseph McCarthy....

[Keszler]

Being conservative makes you crazy. Why? Because if you think the status of the present is good and things need to stay the same. You are crazy. Conservatism teaches that now is good and the any change is bad. People ask, "what is the change Obama talks about?" Change in its essence is liberal.

[RAPMONSTAR]

classic republican conservative right wing propaganda use a little kid to spread a pro point of view "we are good they are evil."

[zapponsalvia]

I guess the Republicans are serious about getting fresh young new faces into the party

[RAPMONSTAR]

its propaganda

[got2behonestpeople]

As if liberal parents don't teach their own children the principles they strongly believe......Liberals should be deeply ashamed of their daily hipocracy, but even more for mean spirited natures.

[airomus]

blah blah blah...shut the fuck up.

[Dead57Chevy]

Obama is such a porkchop... He never, and I mean never does anything unless it gains him more power. I want to know what he is getting from this...

It's almost like those cartoons where the rabbit has a flag that is red on one side and blue on the other. Some day Obama, the wind is gonna shft and that flag will get you in big trouble.

[MechTimber]

Conservatism is an ideology about protecting people and the people's rights? Umm...okay

[putittogether]

PROPAGANDA

PROPAGANDA

PROPAGANDA

[molhamg]

what a cute little midget!!

[Pops150]

Gee Jack

You sound dyspepetic.

Rush to the dictionary you're using to prop open the bathroom door and look up "principles."

[UGOTDAJACK]

lol...you know things are fucked up in America when the republican party seeks advice from people like joe the plumbler and a 13 year old kid. Fucking yankees...you guys crack me up.

[lilpeopleview]

Fuck it all! Lets just have another drink and let the party play on!!!!LOLOLOLOL!!!

[farfetchedcat]

someone need to give that kid a joint and tell him to chill the fuck out hes 13

[PVTSolis]

Guarantee you that Jonathan Krohn kid will be a fucking chickenhawk like all good Republicans grow up to be.

[KendalOzzel]

1:21 - Good question.

[Keithjustinburton]

Fuck that kid. He'll go moderate liberal soon enough, like he should.

[mcosmi]

why should he go and do a stoooopid thing like that?

[3star2nr]

LOL they have a kid speaking for them now the republicans are so pathetic.

Whats scarier is the 17 year old kid is a better speaker than bobby jindal o.O

[awerner2007]

scary or just hilarious?

[SandorFne]

Like these CPAC kids, when Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was their age, he too felt illuminated by extremist right wing ideas. And now, as Chief Justice, he can't do enough for the rich and powerful.

[aprilmarco]

Now the military will be stronger, when marshelllaw is set into place.Fuck Obama.

[twinxor]

rarrr I am angry, angry on the internet

[aprilmarco]

I am speaking the truth.All the sheep glaze over the TV screen told what to do next. I f only you knew.

[twinxor]

if only I knew I'd be whining impotently on youtube I guess

[aprilmarco]

Why so long. Its going to cost 74 billion dollars of more debt. From the central bank it will be double that.Fuck Obama.

[Sly88Frye]

i thought this one was okay. for some reason i didnt like it as much, but with how well put together it was, i give it a 4 out of 5.

[JadeiteGracie]

Switch to LINUX - once you switch you'll wonder why you stuck with Windows for so long. I know I did. :)

[Sly88Frye]

and how does switching to LINUX have to do with the video?

[stengevarsel]

"and how does switching to LINUX have to do with the video?"

Sometimes one spots coherence by scrolling downwards.

This is the weakness of Youtube, it's just not quick enough to catch up with the comments. They should spend more time in comment code meetings. Too SLOW, YouTube!

[Joe402]

It would be funny if that kid is against SCHIP.

Wait no it wouldn't.

[Gmanchris]

It's amazing how pple complain about TPM, yet they keep coming back. Why?

[xact1212]

there was no war we really needed to end that was all bullshit.

[aprilmarco]

I know.

[achampag]

like a lil alex p keaton

[MichaelMogg]

Worse, at least Alex P. Keaton's balls had dropped.

[aphexmandelbrot]

You made my night with that addition.

[achampag]

nice =)

[terrence0258]

Is TPM implying that 13 year old kid is a loser. If so you should be ashamed, anyway by the time he's sixteen he will realize his mistake.

[BMovieWackiness]

Don't care. That was hilarious.

[messiahiar]

Too bad that 13 y/o kids parents such are hypocrites lol...

[HugeHeroesFan]

I'm 18 and I don't know what conservatism is but I know well enough to google it before making a speach about it.

[robertoray1277]

yeah, but you don't know to spell check before you misspell the word "speech", smarty.

[HugeHeroesFan]

I am FAR from smart but my IE doesn't have spell check. ):

[mikepalomino]

Switch to Firefox - once you switch you'll wonder why you stuck with IE for so long. I know I did. :)

[MichaelMogg]

I feel the same way about Google Chrome and Firefox. I love me some Chrome. =]

[dralavant]

So the people left who can save their party is a 13 yr old kid in elementary school, A fat Limbaugh with no brains, and a Wanna Be Plumber.... Way to go GOP. You're definitely on your way back to power.....

[marniespeaks]

The Surge was paid for with Cash to terrorists.

[squidb8]

Liberalism is good because when the old ways don't work we have to find new ways to do business,

Conservatism is good because when we find something that works there we shouldn't experiment with untried ways of doing business.

The problem is when we can't let go of the one and embrace the other. That's why I'm a centrist. Both sides gets the hairy eyeball.

[Uwiluz60]

squidb8.I think of the two parties as spoiled rotten children that needs their ass spanked raw..neither honors the constitution, they get elected and never leave..The Reps got there WAR and all their spending for 7 years..150 million F22 raptors 10 billion a month war ect..Now the Dems get in and there jealous so Mom and Dad { US ] is going to buy them there toys..A big spending bill they called the Stimulus..With 9000 goodies..WOW Mom and Dad are going to be broke..But they don't care..CHANGE ?

[squidb8]

You are correct both parties are spoiled rotten, but thats the machine we must tend to. Which is why I don't believe anything with some deeper research. This very video is just cut and paste to reveal a particular view point mostly good for entertainment purposes.

However, raptor has been in development since early 90's. But its still less than the amount of time the Osprey has been in development. So sure F-22 are no longer relevant to todays theatre but it isn't something to get bent about.

[Mentallyawake568]

That kid is dumb. and Newt should suck off.

[healuv]

why is that kid dumb??

[lrn2wlk4life]

because liberals are bigots at heart

[monalisasmiles4you]

...his name is NEWT? NEWT? Like, a newt? 0_o

[u2fanatic91]

so, does the day end at 3 pm for tpmtv?

[beccahday]

well, the washington dc/east coast u.s. business day ends at 5, so it makes sense that they get the summary out around 2 or 3pm west coast time.

[GhostOfThe92503]

lol

What does that say about you when you're taking cues about the future of a WHOLE POLITICAL Party from 13 year old.

It's almost hard to watch, I am trying to give these guys a chance to redeem themselves but they fumble each time.

I think I speak for alot of Americans, this is a party under fire, and instead of making a conscious effort to reedem themselves they use Bobby Jindal, 13 Year Old's, Joe the Plumber and Rush Limbaugh as their mouth pieces.

It's painful to watch

[quitejaded]

I see nothing wrong in rewarding an impressive young 13 year old man. I wonder what his barmitvah was like.

[WadeBlazingame34]

John McCain: President of the Surge.

[BEANMANOR]

That kids going to complain to the principle when kids beat him up for his lunch money... but that's unchecked extreme capitalism in action

[Spective10]

In a lather for Rush Limbaugh? Disgusting! Conservatives are nothing more than bigger government in personal decision (abortion, marriage, etc.), smaller government in civil rights and freedom of speech, more military industrial waste, more environmental destruction, international destruction, more racism, more violence and more sexual repression. Who the hell wants to be a part of that? To hell with conservatives.

[gplex86]

This is not Obama saying "mission accomplished." He said our mission is "ending."

Notice Obama used the infinitive, which means that the end is in progress but not completed. Bush, on the other hand, used the past tense.

[squidb8]

please show the link to some video or in which Bush said mission accomplished.

I hear alot that it's what he said and not a banner that was displayed by the carrier he landed on but I can't find the sound bite.

[squidb8]

So three strikes I take it nobody actually knows of any footage. I guess we heard from someone somewhere and we take their word for it.

Zombies

[digamejh]

It was his event and they would have never had it and--what's more--had it in front of the cameras if he hadn't approved it.

If you go to a party and there's a banner saying "Happy Birthday," you're going to assume it's a birthday party.

[squidb8]

Here is the problem with your supposition.

Two thing were happening on that carrier. The homecoming of the ship's company from a successful mission and the ceasation of major operations in Iraq.

Its not too big of a leap to see that Perino gave the best explanation, that the banner refered to the ship's company.

True, he should have made more of an effort to dispell any thought the main operation was complete. But incompetence seemed the hallmark of this administration.

[AveryMorrow]

Conservatism means protecting my jaundice baby from the bad things outside. Liberalism means opening the door. The bad things might come in! What now, liberalism!

[EntropyGuardian]

Hahaha that little shit would get wedgied to death if he didn't go to private school or was home schooled or whatever his republican-ass parents do.

[thermalfreek]

Was that the birth of Lucifer part 2?

[FranklyMisterShankly]

After Bobby Jindal's Howdy-Doody performance, the GOP can crown pre-teen Jonathan Krohn as their savior.  The Republican clown parade continues...

[JobDDT]

Surge surge surge, surge surge. Maverick.

[jwbaker]

Wow, that kid is going to spend a lot of his young life getting beat up.

[sachaput]

Let's see what the Rushbo has to say between bites and pills.

Way to go GOP! Party of the past.

[Richardgwm]

McCain failed. Palin failed. "Joe" the "Plumber" failed. Piyush Jindal failed.

So all the Republicans have left is a twelve year old.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

This is such BULLSHIT

Saying that our "combat mission" will be over in August '10 is just like Bush saying "Mission Accomplished"

Bush thought our combat mission was over. But because we still had troops there and Iraq was still a mess, we got drawn into further fighting.

If Obama leaves 35-50k troops there, they will again be drawn in, and we will remain at war through the end of his first term.

[aesthector]

lush rimjob

the leader of sc@

*splarrrarrp* *splararp*

[dluviam]

Chuck Todd sucks

[ver506]

The fact that republicans love/look-up-to Rush Limbaugh is all you need to know about them.....
