  • Atheist = Sane

  • God has to cause Earthquakes and Hurricanes to get attention?

    Freak !

  • A majority of this "spending" is going to a foreign war that was started because god told the now-ex president Bush to start it.

  • @EnderZ13 why do people like you never do research into Bush and his presidency? your the sheep who beleive every lie the news media wants you to beleive to make X person look bad, im not saying he was perfect, but to be frank, he was better than Obama, tell me, has obama made a wildlife conservation in the ocean to save a few endangered species? no, but bush did, bush did alot of other good things too, obama has been in office and done, + it wasnt just bush who made those wars idiot

  • @EnderZ13 done nothing*

  • But it is still true, regardless of what good he did, that war is where a majority of that "spending" is going to. That and bailouts and stimulus packages to try and rebuild the economy that crashed on his watch. I love animals, but I am also a humanist. Species go extinct everyday, and not always due to humans. And everyday for years after he said Mission Accomplished men and women died in a foreign land.

  • @Lavos2007 Bush may have done a smattering of good deeds in amongst the 8 years he had a go at it, but that does not excuse to Trillion dollar debt, the invasion of a sovereign nation, the No Child Left Behind Act, The Patriot Act, the fact that he told Pakistani government officials that God told him to invade that sovereign nation. That right there is as bad as being Al-Qaeda- I am declaring war in the name of my god.

  • Moron is too kind of a word...Fucktard is more appropriate.

  • strange how these 'signs from god' are always in the same places under the same circumstances, like there's some kind of natural phenomenon that causing it...

    Nah, Goddidit!

  • It's funny that they back pedal and say that they can't know his will and don't understand his ways. But it's like wait a second, you were just telling us his will and you were claiming to understand his ways. Don't pull that shit with us, we're not that intellectually dense. But they believe it themselves, they're psychopaths

  • If God was ALL FUCKING POWERFUL AND ALL KNOWING you'd think he'd come up with a BETTER WAY TO COMMUNICATE THAN FUCKING TORNADOES AND SHIT. FML ARE YOU THAT DENSE PEOPLE?

  • lol First its the Government spending, then its the gays, haha....... Bitch I will risk a flood for my Marriage license. We shall Survive!!!!!!!

  • wouldn't it be funny as hell if a meteorite came crashing into her kneecap severing her leg from the knee down? Just putting that out there. If I was a praying man, I'd pray for that... that and for a satellite to fall out of orbit and land on fred phelps' house.

  • I swear that has to be one of the most inane, obtuse, steaming pile of sh** statements ever uttered by a politician. What makes it all the more frightening is that it came form the mouth of someone wanting to be our next president!!

  • @ezekielsrage watch much Fox 'news'?

  • I not religious but why would god send a hurricane to America to show anger for over spending and not for mass genocide in 1940's... Don't add up to me lol

  • @JoeLever8 for real dude

  • So...Bachmann is Palin with a different accent basically?

  • christians remind me of chicken little

  • I more or less think that Bachmann uses extended metaphor and as such, her comments are often seen as ludicrous when in actuality, they aren't

  • @fishyfishycup Sort of like how I see your comment as ludicrous? You're going to tell me it's not, right?

    Michelle didn't use a metaphor. She made a direct statement about how God felt about US politic by punishing America with natural disasters.

    The irony here is that she talked about how God clearly had been expressing his views, when she's now claiming more or less that she didn't clearly express her own.

  • @EqualAndFree

    yeah.

    heres a fun fact

    rick perry holds huge prayer meeting - next day, bushfires burn entire towns.

    an atheist convention is held in Austin Texas, on the second day of the 3 day convention, it was gushing down rain!

    coincidence?

  • LOL

    God: "i punish left-wing hippies and gays with hurricanes... in southern red states full of right-wing straight christians, in hurricane-prone areas, during hurricane season"

  • I actually believe that GOd is trying to say something. What is it?

    "STOP BURNING OIL!"

  • The Bible says that the strong winds and storms are His messengers. Get ready, because the Lord is about to speak really clear. Yes, you will see the great and awesome glory as He starts to pour out His judgments.

  • Insane or not she's pretty damn hot! I hope she wins the Presidency!

  • So this stupid woman is ahead of Ron Paul. Or no..........

  • Last time I checked, hurricanes were a natural disaster, not a supernatural disaster.

  • God has spoken! Hurricane Irene was a sign from God, hurricane Irene hit Wall Street therefore the occupy wall street protests are doing the will of God.

  • There are two types of Christians, those who seek to bring glory to God and those who hijack Gods name and uses it for person gain such as wealth and political power. Its dangerous because someone pretending to be Christian for power can deceive real Christians into chaos. The second you serve personal will instead of Gods will you start listening to satans will

  • Michele Bachmann isn't kidding. Just have a look at this video, featuring Bachmann allong with a lineup of Republican Tea Party legislators, ALEC members and ONE blue dog Demcrat claiming that the country's problems cannot be solved on the floor of Congress and that we need to turn to the "Supernatural hand of God"... now THAT'S straight out of the Dominionist handbook.

    Is your Congressman in the lineup?

    Check it on YouTube (search "Elected Leaders Praying for America")

  • Who the fuck CC translate this?! OMFG it horribad. Lol

  • @lovemoviesful2 haha @ horribad

  • I say rain in the spending. It's called cut the Pentagon budge and defense contracts in half, its called cut military bases around the world, its called 'we don't need more expensive navy ships', its called 'we don't need more private security firms paid by the US government. We don't need Republicans who create lax regulations, which results in Oil Spills and we need to spend government money on clean up. Bachmann your a big fat headed idiot who married a fagity closeted husband

  • Hopefully Bachmann's ranch will see some Tornado's and then no government will bail that out.

  • This news segment was a waste of my time. Thank u

  • These Prophetic End-Time events are occurring because of disobedience to God's laws.Do these False Christians as in Michele Bachmann.Do what God's word says to do? Would God be punishing his children if they were obedient? God is cursing America now but yes it was given the Birthright blessings promised through one man's obedience in Abraham.

  • God Is Saying OH MY GOD

  • Its called Tectonic Plates you dumb Cunt!

  • Is this the nutcase the Republicans are putting forward as candidate for Presidency?

    She looks just as stupid as she sounds. The trouble with right-wing Republicans is they live in a fantasy of religion, yes that crap cooked up by Jews all those years ago.

    Jews claim their god chose them as his people; so, why didn't he help them from the holocaust and Nazis??....that's right, because their god does not exist, that's why !!

  • @macvatu It literally makes me sad to see what you have written.

  • What a laughable piece of shit. In any other country in the western world she'd be fucking laughed out of office for this religious bullshit.

    If some politician in the UK started bleating about god says this and god says that they'd be resigning within days. Only in fucked up America do morons accept this shit as reasonable.

  • so to get the attention of politicians god kills other people that have nothing to do with politics? sounds like god alright.

  • @AceofDiamonds0

    Wait it gets better.

    Because God is so pissed with government spending he sends down a hurricane that will cause a bunch of damage, therefore ensuring the government will be spending more money.

    Yeah that makes sense

  • I can accept that there are signs from a supreme being.

    I can accept that a supreme being exists, and that he/she/it is kind of pissed at us for our sometimes PROFOUND stupidity.

    But why would an infinitely powerful, all knowing, above material goods supreme being give two fucks about our economics?

    Galaxies colliding, stars dying and being born, black holes tearing up the very construct of space & time. Seems to me there are more "important" things on a supreme being's docket than taxes.....

  • Comment removed

  • omg i hope she doesnt get more than 3 votes.

  • did her followers ever think that if she claims she talked to god and only she heard it and nobody else did, she is either full of shit or a lunatic i vote for both.

  • it's a sign from god to read up on global warming.

  • So what does this stupid whore think God was trying to prove with 9/11? Oh wait, that wouldn't sit well with her agenda and her supporters... the self proclaimed sheep.

  • God is still angry at the gays.

  • Of course it's a sign. It couldn't be clearer if it was spelt out in burning letters in the sky. 'Stop fucking up the environment, you morons!' - God/Earth

  • bachmann is really creepy

  • It goes like this: Politician says something stupid; - Public reaction is positive = I meant what I said - Public reaction is negative = I was only kidding

    It's like tossing a coin, heads I win, tails you lose.

  • Lets see, When we have Bush, we have an attack on America and Hurricane Katrina. But now that we have two major Republican Candidates that abuse God's weight in their own campaign, we have an earthquake and a hurricane. Sorry Bachmann, God's not warning us about Obama.

  • She is stupid and un educated

  • she is pretending to be christian in order to pander to the christians who are uninformed... very sad...

  • Bachmann is a false Christian. She does not know God.

  • @ReadTheScripture The No True Scotsman argument? Really?

  • Alright. What about Toby Turner for President?

  • Just like a 10 year old:

    Bachmann - "You're a Stupid Face"

    Christian Teacher - "What did you just say?!"

    Bachmann -"...I was just kidding!"

  • but... but.. it was a joke. he he he he ha ha ha ha derrrr.

    bottom line, Bachmann is a freaking clown. but fails to please anyone with her silly jokes and stupid facial expressions.

  • the irony in this situation is that there was ann earthquake in alaska this morning. Maybe thats a sign that god wants us to vote palin. lol

  • I hate these so called "christians" making out god to be this huge dick behind the deaths of thousands. -____-'

  • Bachmann is the 2012 apocalypse creator.

  • @SpikeyJamez, If she becomes the president.

  • well she did say that she dose talk to god. she also said that was her reason for going into politics. plus who says jest anymore?

  • she is so going for the Christian vote.

  • That bitch is just trying to get blind Christians and Catholics to follow her... Clearly. But anyone with an education can clearly see what she is trying to do.

    GOD no wonder 1 in ever 4 Americans is mentally challenged. -_-

  • Why do people listen to this retard? And has anyone ever heard of the separation of church and state?

  • Religion....

    Waste of time.

  • Why can't god ever send clear signs? Like, a giant sign written in blood across the sky "Hi guys, this is God, your creator, I wanted to tell you blah blah blah"

  • @DEliteZz But...that doesn't mean there is. I can't say there isn't - cause there's no proof there isn't. Just as to me there is no proof that there is. I think no mortal normal person without the ability to create universes could possibly BEGIN to comprehend such a being if one does exist. People being prideful is what the cause of a lot of suffering is. What greater pride could exist than to say 'I know what GOD wants'...or that your god is any better than someone elses? Christians fail.

  • How about you make a video on the things Joe Biden has said? Oh wait you are all extremely incompetent liberals... Sorry I forgot.

  • Um so why's he mad again? What's this gotta do with this Turkish guy?

  • I know damn hurricanes and earthquakes existed for a long time I'm not a cunthole like Steve, but HAARP manipulates weather patterns and causes natural disasters

  • bachman is a cunt

  • I've never seen anyone with a bigger God hang-up than Cenk. If anyone dares believe in God in a different manner than he does they're a "moron". What a true certified grade A bigot.

  • For I the Lord will send down hurricanes upon them to slay the poor and dark skinned and hippies in Vermont. And I will send earthquakes upon them but not earthquakes strong enough to cause drink spillage for I the Lord doth loathe a party foul. But I the Lord will cause these tribulations so that the people may know I do not support Keynesian economics. For I the Lord liketh tax breaks for the rich. The poor can go fucketh themselves.

  • @rocky19421 You my good sir, are a genius

  • @rocky19421 Win.

  • @rocky19421

    That....i.....

    As a *kind of* christian, I should be pissed at you.

    But I'll be damned if that wasn't the FUNNIEST thing I've read in some time.

    I bow to your superior wit good sir.

  • @rocky19421

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN

  • @rocky19421 Holy fuck dude that shit is hilarious.

  • @rocky19421 lol

  • @rocky19421 that's rude! I live in vermont and I'm not a hippie... stop being stereotypical and you go "fucketh" yourself!

  • I just don't want a women president.

  • Ron paul

  • Bachmann apologists start claiming "she was only joking" in 5...4...3...2..

  • A 5.9 earthquake and a CAT 1 hurricane aren't exactly signs from a supposed god.

  • Religion is so false

  • I wonder if all the relatives of the people that died are laUGHING. hOW ABOUT THE THOUSANDS THAT ARE HOMELESS? The worst part is, this is typuical fare for the repubs:( And they wonder why they don't have a man in office.

  • the hurricane and the 5.9 quake in Virginia were both controlled by HAARP if you don't know what HAARP is I strongly suggest looking it up...

  • @DippedNcheese Waste your own time

  • @DippedNcheese yeah that has to be it, because we've never experienced hurricanes or earthquakes until the 1990's!! brilliant!!!

    dumbass....

  • @DippedNcheese All I found about HAARP was that it is connected with many conspiracy theories and the conspiracy theories I did read seem to have very little evidence and were very poorly written. I suggest you check your facts my friend.

  • you bunch of misinformed fools...the little hurricane wasn't from God. He speaks to people through prayer...Michelle is just making Christians and Christianity in general look even dumber...I hope Jesus returns SOON This world is too corrupt to live in

  • She is fucked up

  • Crazy bitches always win lol

  • Comment removed

  • We should all be mindful of what we say... She's crazy and so are all the comments on here.

  • Comment removed

  • My girl of 10 is MORE intelligent than her.

    Our great country is becoming crazy with these mad GOP politicians who are pulling down our country and the intelligence of average American.

    WAKE UP!

  • Theres a separation of church and state, isn't there? This bitch is crazy. End of story.

  • Michelle Bachmann is doing a GREAT job of representing the Tea Party. She is a CLUELESS person, representing a CLUELESS group of people. Theres NOTHING "funny' about the people that died or lost there homes in hurricane Irene. But hey, she was "just kidding" right?

  • Which god would that be bitch? Zeus? Apollo? Thor? The flying spaghetti monster? Or Yahweh, the god of primitive iron aged barbarians?

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Though the people of the iron age were not barbarians, I do agree with you. Just wanted to clear up your historical inaccuracy.

  • @BlueWaterNymph Ok but from my point of view we're splitting hairs. I mean their understanding of how the world worked is less than what a modern child understands. Due to this, I'll never defer to them on any issue. Also, I consider stoning women for adultery if they were raped, or burning people alive for worshiping another god to be extremely barbaric behavior, which according to the bible is the standard way to handle these situations.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow I'm basing my sand point off of what I've learned in my Archaeology class in University. Our teacher was very prominent that they weren't actually barbarians. Thought I can not tell you how those societies behaved in great detail, give me four months to get throughout my Anthropology class. By saying all societies in the iron age burned and stoned people is a bit of a pigeon hole idea, considering there were many different societies all across the world in that time.

  • @BlueWaterNymph Ok, I'll bite, but then of course you have to have a clear definition of barbarism.  I think I've already said what I think barbaric behavior is. By our standards, the Romans were barbaric, however had I lived at that time, I would rather be a Roman than anyone else. I mean yes I am judging these societies by a modern lens, but why wouldn't I? Christians are advocating that I base my modern decisions on ancient ignorance. No sale.

  • This bitch is out of her mind.. Ron Paul 2012!

  • Hurricane irene is nature not God saying the goverment sucks.

  • Hmm...where are your anti Islamo-fascist videos? The enemies of mankind. Hmm...

  • All those tornados in the midwest (where many of her Christian supports) live mus *also* be from "god." lol.

  • @Dutvutan Dude, what about 124 000 Prophets/Messengers that were sent to each and every nation by there own language, and Prophet Muhammed was sent to the whole of Mankind as mercy. Grap a copy of Qur'an and Study it. Peace

  • Republicans = rise of the planet of the apes

  • a sign from god for me is two meteors hitting perry and bachmann at the same time in different locations

  • @iudfr *long belly laugh ensues*

  • I'm not American, so it's hard for me to give a perfectly-informed opinion on American politics. However, this woman is such a bizarre character that I can't possibly understand why there are people supporting her, let alone actually vote for her. Anybody explain, please?

  • @grmpf I'm an American, so I can give the best insight on the people here. There are a lot of people here that are very very stupid. There's a lot of smart people, but many many more stupid people.

  • @MrUnlimitedRange That's the explanation I keep reading in TYT video comments. I believe it's a bit too easy. There must be something more deeply wrong than just "people are stupid".

  • @grmpf Very true. Maybe people are are fed up with how the economy is going and the last option they think they have is turning to a deity of some sort. I don't blame them, but I don't agreed with them, because how Cenk put it in this video they make themselves look like prophets, which is a sick thing to do, but people buy in to it. People want so badly to be lead. Some thing I'v always found weird about human species.

  • the government controls the weather.

  • REPUBLICANS = PARTY OF THE APES

  • If god made us, why can't he just start speaking our fucking language instead of causing natural disasters and expect us to understand him, like a spoiled toddler.

  • What a sad fuck. Loser shits these days, I cannot wait till 2012. Sick bastards who support 2012 and make up lies about it will get what they deserve

  • How can people be so stupid? Seriously, they think god wants to punish them for sins, but he made them do it in the first place. Even if god does exist, he is a sick bastard.

  • Bachman= Snakes Oil Salesman

  • Worshipping someone else's God means worshipping that person's teachings. Not having the balls to speak in your own voice is worse, and saying "God said X" is regressing back to childhood and imaginary friends. All three of these mean you have issues.

  • -_-

  • I can't stand Backmann but after watching the full clip I have to say she was joking.

  • @AnotherAgnostic Realy , just jokeing ? With her bazair often fake chesher cat smile , it's questionable ... At least a dog whistle to the Pat Robertson delusional fundies in the crowd .....

  • this woman sounds retarted. u can't use god as a political leverage. fucking america

  • @eludethelight hahaha. retarted.  best spelling mistake ever.

  • Why is every God-damned natural disaster a sign? Can God not communicate though anything other than peoples' deaths and property damage?

  • @PrideSwine Derp. He works in mysterious way, also he likes to troll. Don't question it or bring any form of logic into anything that involves God in front of these people. Unless you plan on bashing logic with them of course....while laughing at how stupid your voters are.

  • @PrideSwine ROFLMAO brilliant post

  • @born912 Hey, no problem!  Thanks for the reply!

  • @NuRm69 Yeah. And it's easy how people can look over the people who did die, too.

  • @Rationalific I'm just keeping things in perspective. People are going to die in a Hurricane. That matter of how many is the question. The media was hyping this thing to be the next Katrina when it was anything but. It never even made category 4. But the media hyped it up anyways just to suck as many ratings out of hurricane as they possibly could.

    And of course the God folks also don't miss an opportunity to exploit the atmospheric conditions that lead to a hurricane and claim it's God!

  • But it's perfectly sane to attribute the yearly Hurricane cycle to man-manufactured carbon dioxide?

    Pick your religion, folks.

  • That's Great. I listen to these jesus freaks all day and phuk them all. They only believe the bible and anything that happens now is not true. Only what happened then is true. I say phuk u. The people in the past thought lightning was God talking to them. The people in the past would believe anything. They were ignorant to the facts and did not have enough technology to know better. And we're supposed to believe what they spoke of. Nah. Not me.

  • That's funny, because nobody said it was a sign from God when hurricanes and earthquakes were happening in other countries, but now that it happened to America they are like, "It's God trying to send a message people!"

  • I don't like her politics, but she really isn't too bad looking for 55.

  • Ever watch "Religulous" by Bill Maher?

  • Why do these dumb fucks attack Christians but defend Muslims when they basically both say similar things? Fuck TYT.

  • How dare bachmann make fun while residents of North Carolina suffered loss of property and some even losing their lives due to the effects of Hurricane/Storm Irene? That was not the appropriate time or subject to poke fun at, not when people suffered (and are still suffering power outages, etc.)

  • Michelle Bachmann, the biggest lunatic ever. But a very scary powerful lunatic, unfortunately. She might become the first female president - it says that a lot of people who lack critical thinking skills are supporting her. Sad, really.

    So, when volcanoes in Hawaii erupt, is that because God is angry at the Hawaiians for having a great tourist spot? You can interpret natural disasters any way you please, but I prefer the scientific explanations best.

  • @mutts4ever Yes. The GOP has now pretty much been reduced to just corporations, millionaires, billionaires, red necks, hillbillies, racists, hicks, and mormons.

    Pretty sad bunch.

    Demos has pretty much become the better of the two evils. They just need to start kicking some ass and stop the obstructionists in Congress and call them out as to why they haven't introduced one jobs bill in 9 months and have stopped over 40 jobs bills by obstruction.

  • Ron Paul for President!!! Thumbs up for a new future!!!

  • @ScoKimber You mean the one in anarchy with no federal reserve to regulate the money supply and hence the economy? You mean the future on the gold standard, which is just another fucking commodity, subject to speculation? You mean one with no government whatsoever? No I think I'll pass. Thanks but not thanks. I like what he says about the wars and ending our overseas holding, but his Austrian economics is nothing but junk economic theory.

  • @ScoKimber Right, we'll be so much better in a country with a president who literally admits he'll do nothing if elected.

  • @ScoKimber Meh.. it's bad if the best choice out of the GOP is Paul....

  • I used to like it when your average video was 5 mins plus. Lots of 2 min videos lately...that coupled with a 30 sec advertisement, sucks.

  • How come she never called the tornados as wrath of god.

  • Young Turks BEST video is Breitbart is a Fraud...i recommend everyone watch it!!!

    i watch it once a week for a good laugh...thanks young turks!!!

  • I thought these idiots only exist in Iran.

  • Well, she is right. We are turning into Sodom and Gomorrah. The wicked crimes of treating other people, especially those less fortunate, like utter crap. Oh wait she's promised to do this herself.
