  • Hey, Ron Paul is a genius.

  • & that's why he & the other idiots like Bachmann ain't ever gonna win. They can't even get some bullshit-simple stuff like what Reagan commandment it is right, & noone bothers to correct them.

  • I'm a 16 year old Australian girl, and I probably know more than Herman Cain about American politics.

  • HE I.S. JUST ANOTHER CRIMINAL

  • GOP stands for Grand Old party of Pin-heads

  • GOP = Grand Old party of Pin-heads

  • This guys a knob. Get a real job. Herman Cain was awesome.

  • Oh, I thought the 13th Commandment was something like "Thou Shalt Sexually Harrass Women Who Seek Employment With Thee."

  • @LadyeCatte Cenk aint laughing hes Freakin' da fuck out

  • What are the eleventh and twelfth commandments?

  • Cenk, you're getting to be as much a favorite pundit of mine as Jon Stewart! Herman Cain was their little joke on "diversity". I fully believe they had the womanizer dirt on this idiot before they ever convinced him he was "Presidential material". He was there just for 'show'.

    Reagan: Sharks should never bite at other sharks. The resulting feeding frenzy simply exposes the sheer mindless savagery and greed of sharkdom, and gives their intended victims more ideas on how to defeat them.

  • ... i didn't know and I am taking AP united states history this year.

  • ''ITS ELEVEN NOT THIRTEEN KILL CAIN KILL CAIN'' - Cenk

  • @IntoTheVoid96 Cenk doesn't want to kill Cain.  Humans don't generally kill things that make us laugh.

  • Herman Cain: Embarrassment to American politics since day 1.

  • Cenk, chill.

  • Uhhh Didn't Obama say there were 57 states? That sounds worse to me lol

    Ron Paul 2012

  • @tyseibert I'd rather hear a weary man's numbering mistake than read a man's written/published thoughts on why a woman shouldn't have the right to sue if her employer tries to make sex a condition of her employment.

    We need no blatant misogyny and bigotry in the White House. The only positive thing Paul can do for this country in 2012 is move to Mars... and take his misbegotten get with him.

  • @LadyeCatte lol bitch get back in the kitchen. How did you figure out how to get on the internet? Make me a sammich!

  • That motherfucker is dumb as a rock! No insult to rocks.

  • What the fuck???

    There was a Rick Perry campaign add on this???

  • @1990PatMorrison Fortunately, you can skip it.

  • Hey - you don't have to be smart - all you have to do is be smarter than your electorate - and in the case of Republicans, that's a low, low bar.

  • In order to not have a heart you more than likely have to not have a brain.

  • It's 12 apostles, 10 commandments. Most Christians don't know Christianity.

  • @SketchyBack - 13 apostles - you forgot Rufus.

  • The other 2 commandments were:

    11: "cut" taxes

    12: "Limit" government

  • You dont know me and I dont know you.

  • Commandments 11 and 12 were lost somewhere in Cain's lady lingerie adventures.

  • The GOP 2012 strategy = The American people are a bunch of clowns and morons, so let's act just like them and we'll run Obama out of office.

  • And this guy was a CEO for a while, right? On what qualifications did he obtain such a position?

  • Comment removed

  • Much ado about nothing, Cenk.

    How about some more NDAA commentary?

  • This is funny.

  • who's herman cain?

  • I am a fairly progressive liberal but come on, dude just misspoke. Just like I get tired of the Obama 52 (or whatever it was) states quote, lets stop picking the talking points apart and keep hammering away at the issues, if we keep it on the issues there is no way we can lose.

  • stupid voting for stupid

  • who has 13 commandments???

    SATAN???

  • @Bander1 No, I have only one.

  • Go away Herman! America's doesn't want you and your fucked up mind!

  • I wasn't alive in 1980 or 1984, but I KNOW there are some negative ads out there. Maybe not in 1984, because he could have won that election in his sleep. But he didn't run a negative ad against Jimmy Carter's negative record? Yeah right.

  • the republicans are a circus with no lions!!!

  • Christians have to make up their own religion..if they followed the word of the bible it would be too insane for modern society !..kinda like islam

  • [Sigh] Gingrich and Cain - the three stooges

    Come own.

  • How stupid is Herman Cain?

    More important, how stupid were/are the people who genuinely believed this guy was legit? And why do they have the right to Vote?

    I grew up around people like Herman Cain;salesmen, used-car dealers and pawn brokers. I recognize that speech and mannerisms. Yeah, they were successful, they had money and were funny and charming, but you wouldn't trust Any of them as far as you could spit in a spacesuit.

    So, Herman Cain supporters: How stupid are You?

  • Who cares how many commandments there were? Herman Cain is too busy to bother reading the Bible, but he knows there's a bunch of commandments in there, and that half of them are about killing the homosexuals.

  • of course cain would want to endorse romney. people who cheat on thier wives stick together cenk. you did'nt realise this?

  • He can't be "literally" shocked. If he was, that means he was being electrocuted.

  • Yes, Herman is a dumbass. But I think it might've been an honest mistake this time though.. 11 and 13 are kinda easy to confuse when you aren't really thinking about what you're saying. 11 is a step above ten and 13 above a dozen, and in our heads tens and dozens are like sets. So instead of memorizing 11nth something, the most efficient way of memorizing would be to be remember to add 1 to a complete set. But who cares he is a retard regardless :)

  • Here's a couple of commandments that Herman & his fellow republicans are unaware of: Thou shalt not lie, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours ass.

  • I feel bad for Cenks nephew. "I think my 18 year old nephew knows more". Only think, Cenk? Poor guy...

  • imagine there's no pizza...

  • @SolidGoldKalashnikov

    ..I think I'd rather die

  • It's the total idiocy of the current American system. The ONLY metric for a human being is how much its worth... Being an ignorant, nasty, know nothing fucker - means NOTHING as long as you have wealth. Throughout ALL of human history the wealthy exploiters have been despised - since Reagan reality has been stood on its head.The wealthy have nothing but contempt for the intelligence of the majority - with people supporting scum like these running in the GOP - I UNFORTUNATELY share their contempt

  • Why is Cain still being interviewed after he proved how incredibly ignorant and clueless he is??

  • @southrules yeah and also, why do people even care about his endorsement? I mean, him endorsing Gingrich would be like Kermit the Frog endorsing Paul or Romney.. nobody should give a shit and it most definitely shouldn't be in the news..

  • Is he thinking that it's the thirteenth step?

  • Bring back Palin. That bitch was hilarious, and fairly pleasant to look at.

  • I am the nephew

  • HAHAHAHA!

    Cenk and I share the same feeling regarding this poor dope.

    HAHA! Republicans are pure comedy. Mike Myers should have done a few comdey skits on republicans. He'd be rich! Lot's of material there.

  • and he's a minister, right? so he should know the 10 commandments by heart. they're all hosebags.

  • Hermain Cain is an idiot, he should stop talking in public.

  • Herman " The False Prophet " Scumbag

  • 10 commandments is actually wrong, if you reread Exodus you'll find there was actually 14 commandments... but christians shortened the list to suit themselves. Much like they choose which parts of the bible are important and which aren't

  • @Dreadnaught1985 ... There are so many issues with the "10 commandments". Like how the popularly thought 10 commandments arent even the shortened 14 commandments but a whole other list...

  • @Dreadnaught1985 that's still no all the commandments. If I remember it right there are over 600 commandments.

  • @kokofan50 yes, but the infamous tablets that moses brought down from mount cyanide are the ones most referred to as "the commandments" 

  • @Dreadnaught1985 The 600 some others where writen on the tablets by Moses too. The ten commandments are just the first ten of the over 600.

  • @Dreadnaught1985 Atheists are constantly pushing their agenda. And Christians are supposed to be the brainwashers of America...

  • @UnexpectedWonder If you were in a room where everyone else was bound and gagged and blindfolded. But you could see, would you stand by or would you take the blindfolds off and let them see the truth?

  • @Dreadnaught1985 What does this have to do with what I said?

  • @Dreadnaught1985 The Christians probably preferred 10 commandments because it sold better than 14.

  • @SteelTalons1 actually true... and another point of the christian religion editing for their own purpose

  • @Dreadnaught1985 Actually, there are 613 total. Christians just made a top-10 list, and, yeah, they sort of mix-and-match them, too. I think Catholics have a different 10 than Protestants, and they both have a different 10 than what the Jews eventually cannonized, and so forth.

  • @Dreadnaught1985

    My man, Christians "follow" the new testament "closer" than Exodus. But I agree on your last statement.

  • @motoian84 Yes but the "commandments" were carried down from mount cyanide by Moses, Moses had already been dead for hundreds of years before the new testament began... So either they should include all of the old testament or throw out the commandments all together

  • @Dreadnaught1985 or, you could just make your own and see if they stick? I mean, people need to be taught how to behave right? Unless you disagree with Hobbes.

  • @Dreadnaught1985 In the bible there are actually hundreds of commandments, although I'm not sure how many there are specifically (You were talking about a specific part, I'll take your word on that) but yeah, just emphasizing your point.

  • @Dreadnaught1985 What are you talking about? No there is only 10 commandments. I dont know where you're getting 14 lol. I agree the catholic did change the meaning in some of the commandments but it didn't drop any. The catholic church is not that powerful.

  • I love it. If Mittens gets the nomination then the Huckster has to support him. Ha ha ha.

    A right wing christian supporting a mormon. That's gotta sting the right wing evangelicals.

  • There's actually 613 commandments, FYI.

  • Herman Cain was a MATH MAJOR, how could he screw up simple counting?

  • come on, this wasn't a matter of knowing anything. the guy is just mentally ill, so his brain misfired and said 13

  • I don't like defending Herman Cain, but he really just misspoke on a trivial point. Everyone does it. Obama said 57 states in a campaign rally, and we all know Obama really doesn't believe there are 57 states. He's a law professor for christ's sake. It happens, and I think you made too much of it Cenk. If you want to really blast Cain, just talk about the crappy content of what he's saying, not misspeaking on a number.

  • The difference there is that Obeezy was half sleep (not at a campaign rally like you stated) & he was talking about the 50-state strategy that included 7, outlying territories (Puerto Rico, Samoa, Guam, Atolls, etc.) Cain was bright-eyed & bushy-tailed. Furthermore, 10 Commandments, even if they're Reagan's, are easier to wrap your mind around than every place that the US controls. Heck, I doubt most adults can name all, 50 capitals. That's not defending Obeezy's dumb ass, just offering context.

  • @upabittoolate well whatever the venue was, Obama just misspoke, like any other human. i just think Herman is easy enough to discredit by exposing his wacky ideas and not a slip of the tongue he made. agreed, the context you provide makes it almost impossible to defend Herman, but I tried.

  • @dovespin1 For that, I'll give you credit.

  • @dovespin1 agree

  • @dovespin1 Well you have a point, also perhaps Cain was thinking of someone else's thirteen commandment's. someone like "Jason Voorhies"

  • @dovespin1 Obama also made it clear that he was joking in that instance.

  • @ssdght I knew it had some reasonable explanation. I didn't vote for an idiot.

  • Hermann Cain-Israeli prostitute, Allen West-Israeli prostitute. Newt Gingrich-Israeli prostitute. Mitten magic ass Romney-Israeli prostitute. Michele Bachmann-Israeli prostitute. Obama-Israeli prostitute (on the phone to Netanhu everyday) Do you see a fuckin pattern here sweet cheeks?

  • so reagan is the conservatives' God

  • Herman Cain just committed the 10th deadly sin.

  • well... there are 10 commandments to begin with, and when you add 1, you get 11. I'm a Canadian Atheist.

  • @combatLaCarie But a great mathematician.

  • How did we get to 13 commandments? LOL

  • this video was a waste of time. so this video was basically made because a dumb guy says something dumb?? go figures.

  • @bloodgulch1 A dumb guy who had a decent shot at becoming one of the most powerful people in the world.

  • 11th commandment. So apparently Regan is a demi god to the GOP

  • Really milking air time here dude.... not up to normal standards

  • 644 people are black.

  • @TOproFORthis a bit of a racist post you seem to have made...the people who support Cain are probably not Black, given that he told the black community they are all on welfare and they need to get off the plantation, echoing what Alan West said.....Blacks in general do not support Cain....it is White elites with money, who think that Cain represents black people, who support Cain

  • @seattle8686

    I don't think you looked at the actual numbers on the bar. It might make more sense if you do.

  • @TOproFORthis So is that suppose to be a good thing, or a bad thing?

  • I didin't know Regan had commandments.

  • He got the commandments and the days of christmas mixed up

  • Who cares if he says 11th or 13th? It's not a real commandment anyway.

  • almost as bad as obamas president of canada line

  • Cenk for president

  • a bakers dozen? maybe

  • Cenk... if you do not campaign to be President in 2016,You Don't Know Me And I Don't Know You. You're needed. Do it.

  • Lol but yet he started a national foodservice bussiness and is extremely wealthy

  • i am getting the feeling that this election will be summed up by this phrase, "dammed if you do dammed if you don't"

  • Dude,

    the 11th is: Play the voters for a sucker as hard and as often as you can

    the 12th is: Break each and every law to enrich your buddies

  • who cares about what number it is?

    focus on more bullshit

    dont talk about what Obamney is hiding

    Bain has ended literally 10's of thousands of american jobs

    not 1 mention

    you talk about about the dumbest shit

  • Herman Cain is trash. He should've stuck to pizza.

    (His pizza sucks too by the way)

  • As George Carlin once said:

    Just think of how stupid the average person is,

    and then realize half of them are even stupider.

    True words by a great man.

  • "How stupid are you?"- Cenk

    I don't think ANYONE wants to know that.

  • @SDub817 ---

    Herman Cain's stupidity is so far off all possible charts the very fabric of the universe would tear apart if the truth was revealed.

  • bit of a slow news day if this is a story :L

  • this is small potatoes cenk.

    bring it down a notch. you're at a 10 when you should be at a two

  • He meant to say " the Republican 13th step". It's a variation of the Alcoholics Anonymous' 13th step where you go back to the bar, only in the Republican version you flip flop back into a Democrat agian.

  • over reaction much?

  • Reagan's their Jeebus, whose Father is the banking sector and warmongers, empowered by the Holy Ghost of self-righteous greed.

    And the same way Christians put words in their God's mouth out of sheer ignorance, so do Raegan spores.

    This ought to be its own church.

  • He was thinking this past friday the 13th did i step under a latter or break a mirror

    with, moses was a badass motherfucker!

    those 2 things were twirling around in his head

  • Is it really that big of a deal, it's no he was the smartest guy seeing how he went out

  • Um, 57 States Cenk? ....people arent good with numbers

  • Has Cenk forgotten Palin's idiocy?

  • Roast of Herman Cain

  • Man I really wanted Herman Cain to stay in the race. Alas, he's at home watching Pokemon.

  • I miss Hermain Cain.... :-(

    He was so great for comedy.

    Which would have made for a more fun election? Obama vs. a Robot or Obama vs. a Clown?

    Every circus needs a clown....

  • @oolong2 LOL! You made Me LOL takes a lot for me to lol these days!

  • @oolong2 How about Hermain Cain vs the "Rent is too damn high" representative? I think that would be just as funny.

  • @oolong2 What about Ron Paul vs. Obama?

    Ron Paul will end the wars, end the war on drugs, end the patriot act and the ndaa, end corporate welfare, end keynesian economics which are the main blame for our economic crisis, pardon all non-violent drug offenders, give back state's rights, cut spending and will actually care about the deficit. What about putting a principled man in office who actually believes what he says and doesn't make empty campaign promises.

    What about Ron Paul

    Ron Paul 2012

  • @antonio3p1 All of what you said in the first sentence is what Paul supports and wants to get rid of. Thats why he is popular with many people. However, just because he wants to end the war on drugs, in the middle east, the patriot act, etc. doesn't mean he will achieve it because who stands in his way? All of Congress and the Senate.

    but other things he wants to end will hurt the middle class and WILL get passed which is in the next post

  • @antonio3p1 He would cut the EPA/Dept' of Educ./consumer protection bureau/and other departments/Ron Paul wants to stop any existing regulations on Wall Street, on businesses, and so on. Paul came out and supported the idea that corporations should be allowed to pay off politicians and said thats how the free market works and that politicians should just stop taking the money..which isn't going to happen unless you make it a crime and you regulate it, cause' its perfectly legal now

  • @seattle8686 So what? Stopping america from turning into a dictatorial empire is worth it.

    By the way the Dept' of Education hasn't improved education or made it cheaper it has only made education worse and more expensive even though we keep giving them a bigger and bigger budget.

    If you lessen government power and don't let them pick winners and losers in the market place those big corporations wouldn't lobby.

    Obama is just as bad as Bush and you know it. It's time to vote for a real person.

  • @antonio3p1 There is no one in the history of the US who is as bad as Bush. He was the most foolish, ignorant and easily manipulated president ever. He will be remembered by historians as the greatest contributor to the collapse of the American empire.

  • @Miranox2 You're only saying that because you don't know any US history.

    What about Abraham Lincoln? He was the biggest tyrant ever to step foot in the white house.

    Bush was an idiot but he was nothing more than a status quo president. You could have replaced him with almost any other candidate from the Republicans and the Democrats and the US would have gone the same way. The financial crisis was already on it's way.

  • @antonio3p1 Explain what Lincoln did which was worse than what George Bush did. Bush was more than just a status quo guy. Have you heard of the North American Union?

  • @Miranox2 He murdered thousand of critical nothern journalist, killed thousands of civilians , didn't allow the confederate states to leave the union because that would mean that the federal revenue would have to take a big hit. He also implemented martial law.

    Also he was for shipping all blacks back to Africa, against interracial marriage and he also stated that he didn't give a damn about the slaves all he wanted was to get the confederate states back in the union.

  • @antonio3p1 If he really did all those things, I find it strange that he is still admired by so many. However lets assume it's all true. George Bush did the following:

    - turned a record budget surplus into a record deficit

    - trampled on the Constitution

    - destroyed more civil liberties than you can count

    - killed about 150000 civilians in Iraq with at least 600000 more dead from the ensuing chaos

    This is just off the top of my head. Let me know if you want a longer list.

  • @Miranox2 Yes I agree with George Bush being a horrible president, but what I want you to understand is that electing the 'right' person is not going to make our situation any better. It might make it better for maybe a decade if we're lucky but what we really need to do is change the system and reign in government power. Remeber, a government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything away from you.

    Big government and increased spending is not going to help us.

  • @antonio3p1 I was just replying to what you said about Obama being as bad as Bush. I never said Obama is a good president. They're both corporate shills after all. There is no 'right' person in the current election. They're all pushing their own agendas. The real problem though is the influence of corporate money in politics and the public's ignorance which lets them get away with it. There isn't any ideal solution that anyone can think of. I would start with making education better.

  • @Miranox2 If you want to make education better you certaintly shouldn't hand the job over to a corrupt federal government. As you said our government is controlled by the fortune 400 corporations so if you give them the power of controlling our educational system public schools are going to be filled with propaganda.

    Expanding government power and increase the spending as you liberals want is not going to solve anything. Especially when we have such a corrupt government and a huge deficit.

  • @antonio3p1 Historically, the federal government can regulate education better than individual states or provinces. Texas and other states would be giving creationism and anti-science classes if they were allowed.

    There are many things it's better to have the government regulate. Problems arise when they trample on individual freedoms by making laws like the NDAA or SOPA. These are what we should be fighting against.

  • @Miranox2 You're joking right?

    The federal government isn't better at regulating anything. Also you don't understand the principle's of the United State's Constitution or the State's Right's that are granted in that document. The whole point of it was to unite the states but at the same time not let bigger states rule over smaller.

    Therefor we have to stick to principle and not let the federal government take over.

    Also the notion that the federal government is good at regulating is a joke.

  • @antonio3p1 You dismiss my comment as a joke and provide nothing to back up your argument. I'm guessing your main point is that a small government is better. This idea is contradicted by every prosperous country in the world right now. What are the things they all have in common? Their highly successful social programs. The health and overall happiness of the population depends a lot their social programs.

  • @antonio3p1 America also had its golden years when taxes were higher than they've ever been and poverty was at an all-time low, exactly the opposite of how it is now. The so-called "liberal" and "socialist" ideals were widely accepted at the time. Do you think this is just a coincidence?

  • @Miranox2 Yes it's just a coincidence. The time were our middle class was the largest we have libertarian small government ideas. Since we have accepted these liberal ideas which began around the FDR period we have gone to war more carelessly and undeclared aswell, poverty has increased, the middle class has decreased, corporate power and companies that are "too big to fail" have increased, corruption has increased, the federal government has increased and state's rights have DECREASED.

  • @antonio3p1 "The time were our middle class was the largest we have libertarian small government ideas." When was this? Also, if it was a coincidence for the US is it also a coincidence that almost every country who is doing well right now has effective social services which provide everyone with health care and financial support if needed?

  • @Miranox2

    JFK for example? Also before we had an income tax.

    Please name those socialist countries that are doing "well" right now.

    The countries that are doing well like China, India and Brazil have all minimized government interference in the economy and has opened up their trade and adopted free market principles.

    So your argument doesn't hold any ground.

  • @antonio3p1 India and Brazil are most certainly not doing well. The countries I'm talking about are Switzerland, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Denmark, and the Nordic European countries like Norway. They all have low crime rates, high taxes, low poverty rates and excellent social benefits (unless something changed in recent years that I'm not aware of). To achieve low poverty is very difficult with low taxes. Only the US has managed to do so for a short period.

  • @Miranox2 Yes they are doing well they are actually having economic growth and their economy and standard of living is improving despite the overall very bad economic shape of the world.

    Denmark for example don't have low poverty. The cost of living here is way more expensive because of the government interfering and regulations. Also they will have over a 100 billion dollar debt next year which is huge compared to the size of their country.

  • @antonio3p1 It's very easy to show improvement when you're starting from rock bottom. I suppose Brazil is doing well compared to the other countries in the area, but India is a long way from being considered an industrialized country.

    Let's say you're right about Denmark. You keep saying government regulations are a bad thing. Why is it then that deregulation is the prime cause of the US' current economic disaster?

  • @Miranox2 Yes it's true when they start from rock bottom and already have the road painted out for them they will have more growth than the countries that had to paint the road themselves.

    But that doesn't change the fact that they're economies and other economies, like China's, have been so succesful because of the government staying out of the free market and let millions of people make decisions instead of a few handful of bureaucrats trying to create a centralized econ
