  • Ok so it seems Cenk had answers when the other guy had talking points......

    i liked the back lash Cenk threw out there though anyone catch it>???

  • Cenk is a typical lefty mainstream liberal who thinks with his ass and has a simpleton "solution" for everything. As usual, a lib spouting off dumb shit and the Conservative giving real answers and using sense and being rational

  • @pmango1000 Hahahaha good one, i have to use that. Thanks man. Thats one of the funniest jokes ever.

  • WHAT!?!?!?!? The republican on here spouted NOTHING but talking points... what planet do you live on whos brain are you using???? WHICH POLITICS DO YOU FOLLOW!?!?!?!?

    Cenk is the ONLY person there that said ANYTHING with substance al the other guy said was things are more complicated than that... he never explained WHY it's not complicated i guess the republican strategy is.. look smart to dumb people... and it works VERY well.......

    Why SHOULDN'T it be simple? What's not simple about it?

  • @upplsuckimcool16: hmmm talking points? LOL Cenk simply blamed the Republicans for this and didnt even consider the PEOPLE didnt want it...typical of a liberal activist like Cenk to again blame Republicans for Gitmo being a big issue. Conservative here was right: Obama made campaign promises that he cant keep. Getting rid of and dealing 240 ENEMY COMBATANTS is not easy and Obama, the campaigner, said hed do it. Oh and its been another year since this interview and Gitmo is still open

  • Cenk as long as the rest of us CANNOT STAND how many broken promises Obama has made..

    The things ppl like you don't understand is that we're still doing bad because he's being too RIGHT WING! He's doing the same exact things that Bush did and on some issues went even further than Bush so the right will tell you things are bad because Obama is an extreme left winger but the truth is things are bad cuz he's RIGHT WING

  • @upplsuckimcool16 : stick to the debate: Obama made it sound like closing Gitmo was so easy and he found out its not even a big issue with the American people to keep it open (he was trying to appease his left wing voters anyways) BUT the American people DO care about just letting enemy combatants go free or putting them in prisons where they can teach radical islam and recruit and influence more prisoners to join them and their ideologies.

    PS: If you think Obama is"right wing" your crazy.

  • did the guy on the right forget cenks name XD

  • lol this guy's a clown

  • transferring prisons? brain hurts

  • TYT=MSNBC

    MSNBC=M-must S-suck N-nigger's B-black C-cock

    MSNBC, TYT FANS = SHEEPLE

  • @ekajeht so eloquent, creative and clever, thanks for enlightening us

  • @ekajeht, totally wrong. Fox News viewers = idiots.

  • @IamCanadian3333

    Canadians= 1.nothing 2. confused if they are Brit or French3.don't know how to mind their own fucking buisnes

  • @ekajeht you just proved that you are: 1. make Americans look bad 2. confused over what nationality Canadians are (which is like asking "what is the colour of the black dog") 3. don't know how to spell properly 4. stupid and ignorant

    Have a nice day =)

  • @IamCanadian3333 Well I would try to put you down but I can't come up with anything that would be lower than a canadian!

  • @ekajeht I can think of many, like American, and Republican....

    Nah, jk jk, but you are just giving Americans a bad name, especially the decent ones. I would suggest you just stop talking before you dig yourself a bigger hole ;).

  • @IamCanadian3333 Just jk jk??

    The only joke is you and your worthless country.

  • @ekajeht I can't even take you seriously considering all the fail in your posts and how you just vocally deny facts XD.

  • @ekajeht whose GDP growth is slowing down only because America's isn't growing fast enough

  • @ekajeht i cant hear you over your high hospital bills lolololol i hope you die of cancer because you can not afford treatment

  • Have you ever been to Canada??? They scoff at our insincerity and confrontational ways and you are just feeding into their stereo types of Americans... typically however their stereo types are true... go to Canada you will find some of the nicest most laid back kind hearted people in the world! You know why? Because their government hasn't put fear into their hearts!

  • @IamCanadian3333: actually demographics of Fox viewers have the highest education and highest average income of all network news viewers.

  • @pmango1000 actually quite the opposite, my dear chum. 

  • @IamCanadian3333 : yawn....:Fox News viewers are the oldest at 48.7 years, followed by CNN (47.1) and MSNBC (46.5). Of the three, the CNN viewers have the lowest median income, $45,000 a year. In contrast, both MSNBC and Fox News viewers make $62,000.

  • ok highest average income I CAN believe highest education I can't but your misunderstanding the word AVERAGE.

    You can have 200 people making 1,000,000 dollars a year and 200 people making 6000 dollars a year the average income is 503,000$ a year so yeah I DO believe that a shit load of millionaires and a handful of uneducated Southerners watch fox news that WOULD make the highest income average...

    Fox news is BRILLIANT at making things that are NOT to their benefit LOOK like it IS.

  • Yes we're sheep although you're the follower who says nigger because your white friends in your white town say it because you have no life experience

    Dude you are the sheep who doesn't know he has a shepherd... which makes it that much more true..... Know that sheep are people who cannot think for themselves and say things like nigger in abbreviations that don't even make sense only because your friends laugh at the word... Look at yourself and see who thinks for you before calling others sheep

  • @upplsuckimcool16 niggers should all be dead. kill every nigger.

  • It's not so easy because republicans are making it not so easy. Very simple dumbass.

  • Rock on, Cenk. You kick ass.

  • Want to see who is really behind these hugely confusing and divisive curtains?

    We finally have proof. Documents do not lie.

    See my page's comments section for details and "PLAN".

    Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.

  • Lol.

    I can produce a thousand documents that lie.

    I don't know what the hell your conspiracy theory sounding "PLAN" is, but you're not doing a very good job of recruiting.

    :P

  • OMG cenk PWNED the conservatitive. did you guys hear the guy on the left start to lose his courage? his voice started to break slowly and the started to stutter because he didnt know what lie to make in order to make the republican actions justible.

  • -That bloke on the right, (on the right) looks like a new Mike Myers character -I imagine he goes into a phone booth to turn into....SUPER NERD!!!!....When his mum lets him.

  • what? lol

  • how? it ended on some statement in where the guy was stuttering in boring assed monotone

  • ...neh?

    Kaaay... : /

  • dam i bet Cenk wanted to punch that retard in the face when he said " unlike liberal bloggers now having responsiblity" rofl, get em cenk!

  • @speaketh64

    The smirk signals, "You just opened up a whole can of Cenk-whoop ass!"

  • how come republicans always look wormish and alien like?

  • The rep looks like hes from the 18oo's--if they get anymore unattractive they may have to stop reproducing.. lets hope

  • @Gorlon1111 I know this is a stretch but What births conservatisms is distrust in other people. A man like Phillip Klein has never been loved. He doesn't trust people because they were so cruel to him in high school.

  • "it is not so easy because it was not done already"... yeah right... but now it is being done what is the new excuses from that party: "legal, political and ethical questions". That's the party of no who keep saying no regardless of what is done. Bunch of hypocrites and lunatics.

    If you need to close Guantanamo bay, you need to trial them and put them in jail. Only politician playing politics are trying to stop these trials, and refusing these terrorists in their supermax. Cenk is 100% right.

  • before they even ask cenk a question u can just see the look on his face where he just wants to rip someone a new asshole for bein a dumbass. i love it

  • TYT PWNAGE

    p.s. nice tie Cenk

  • AMATEUR

  • Cenk SLAMMEDDD them

  • cenk is an ex-muslim

    well done Turk on leaving that evil cult called islam

  • Do I need to sit here and type up all of the evils carried out by Christians? Who massacred the Native Americans? Muslims? Who forced my ancestors to have "Christian" names? Muslims? Who burnt people stake for questioning the church? Who praises the death of victims of hate crimes? Who roasted Jews in an oven? Yes there r bad people of ALL religions who seem 2 think by "forcing" their views on people that they r doing the will of God, & only a moron would think this sums up the entire religion.

  • the fastest growing cult in the world. 1 billion plus believers in world and more coming in everyday. how dare you have the audacity to call a religion of the book a cult? how ignorant are you to see that a cult could never attract so many followers? what do you think are the "evil cult" like happenings of islam? and I'm talking about pure islam, not the bullshit propaganda you hear on fox news or your own misguided thoughts you have because of your prejudice will not let you see the truth

  • have you read 'the god delusion' book by richard dawkins?

  • thats nice

    justify your own religion by condeming another

    classy

  • what religion is my comment condeming? why don't you learn to read then respond to comments with coherent arguments. i get annoyed by comments like jigglyfidda125 said, calling islam a cult. i DEFENDED the religion of islam. feel free to clarify yourself, or keep your idiotic comments to yourself

  • you cant defend islam

    you can try to put a cover over its hate

    but most people can see through it

    any religion that says non believers should be killed cannot be defended

  • You can't defend Christianity either.

  • im athiest

    i dont need to defend anything

    but again

    condeming 1 religion doesnt make your own any better

  • Historically, more people have died in the hands of atheists than in the hands of religious zealots. For example, Atilla the Hun, Joseph Stalin, and Chairman Mao.

  • thats rediculous

    noone has ever killed in the name of not believing in something

    those people didnt kill because they were athiests

    thats like saying people with hair are bad because stalin had hair

    by the way

    the catholic church funded hitler

    think about it logically

  • "noone has ever killed in the name of not believing in something" People committing genocide will kill the others for not believing in their way of life. The Communists killed people in their country who didn't want to be Communist.

  • no i mean no murder has ever been motivated by there disbelief in a higher power

    your comment sounds like your saying its the peoples fault for not believing in something

    pritty idiotic

    its like saying if muslims killed everyone on earth who is a non believer and then saying its everyone fault for not believing

  • I'm the idiotic one? I never said that it's the victim's fault for being killed for not believing in something. I just said that there will be people who will try to kill you if you don't think and act the way they want you to. You can't blame that on religion because the atheists are just as guilty as the religious people.

  • Given that a large majority of Mao's supporters actually prayed to pictures of him, it's not really true to call him an atheist. He essentially created his own religion, where he was god.

  • there you go again with your fox news propaganda. NOWHERE in the quran or teachings of the prophet says nonbelievers should be killed. you have every right to fight against and defend yourself of your enemies and the people trying to kill you. When will you ignorant people wake up and realize Islam is a religion of PEACE that has been hijacked by a few extremists, the people paraded on Fox news and the media and being declared muslims. anybody who takes one innocent life can never be muslim!

  • i agree in some sence

    your religion is based on peice

    as is christianity

    but you have to realise that people take it to litterally

    and just because some people hijack the religion and kill people

    how do you not expect people to think of your religion as evil

    its common sence

    dont fight us fight the terrorists who are killing in the name of your religion

  • wow that nasal sounding white guy really couldn't come up with an argument to save his live..how pathetic.

  • So Klein did a good job of not answering anything straightly, and never elaborating on what exactly was the problem that conservatives have on imprisoning terrorists on Us soil?

    Are they truly afraid of them escaping? I can't think of another reason for being against it unless you just enjoy keeping people imprisoned in Cuba without a trial and possibly even without evidence.

  • I wanna punch that klein guy in the face and tell him to breathe thru his nose, god that guy looks like a dumbass

  • Go Cenk! Keep appearing on talk shows, increasing your popularity, increasing the public awareness of TYT which will increase the shows status.

    Soon, TYT will become big and popular and successful.

  • Man, could Cuba take advantage of this!

    Every time someone complained about detainees in Cuban prisons, all they'd have to do mass a bunch of protesters at the gates of Gitmo.

    Anyone who didn't see the problems having a prison in a mythical no-rule-of-law zone would cause is an idiot. Arnold AFB in Tennessee was an internment camp for Nazi officers. If a bunch of rednecks in 40's Manchester could handle the worst criminal masterminds in modern history, we can manage 200 gorilla fighters.

  • Cenk Won the Debate. Hands down. Little Boy could'nt asnswer the last question and got a little tight around the collar!

    866K

  • There's a very important point that no one mentioned in the clip. The republicans created this mess. Now Obama is inheriting it and having to deal with it. When things get fucked up, you blame the guy who fucked up not the guy who's trying to put things right.

    Personally I think they should all be dropped off in the Afghan desert within walking distance of a major town/city. None of them are going to be convicted anyway - not enough proof. Just do it now, without warning, and get it over with

  • yay! cenk on tv! too bad i missed it :(

    he's smart o.o

  • God can this dumbass say "the Obama administration" any more times? I guess he has to or else he'd have to come up with an alternative.

  • which are you talking about? I didn't hear it all that much from either one.

  • Wow. Cenk on a station owned by a Papal Knight of Malta. How...tawdry and expected.

    And shilling the terrorist meme? Go figure.

  • For a second I thought it was Cenk on the right hand side. "What happened, Cenk?!" lol

    Good job, though, Cenk.

  • Good Job!

  • That bastard just called Cenk a liberal blogger just to insult him. What an ass!

  • Wow that dweeb with the glasses had absolutly no good retort

    Cenk, you owned that guy

  • The answer is simple, build a wing for the detainees in the new Bush lie-brary...

  • calimar28:

    I feel your position. But extremist solutions of any kind are never a good long term answer. Imagine if because one person steals from your place of employment and is Italian that all the Italians get fired. You know, just to be safe.

    Besides, are you saying to not try them?

    I respect your nationalism immensely, though. But when it comes to international politics... man, it's unfortunately just not that simple. It's a complex web of interconnectedness & interdependence.

  • I hate that "We have no power, so just do it" from the Republicans.

    How about you join in the process, you fuck nuts.

    OFFER A SOLUTION. Damn, wth is wrong with Republicans, man.

  • My Solution:

    Send them back to whatever nation they came from

    Stop all immigration from the middle east

    Protect ports and borders

    Simple huh?

  • Zero respect for xenophobes and nationalists. First of all, there are fundamentalists for Libya to Indonesia - can't ban 'em all. And what will Muslims think of Americans if they are told that US thinks they are all terrorists??

    In a global world, you can't preserve your society in a 'pure' state with one skin color, one culture, or one religion. If you try, you will be the awkward apartheid state with ignorant citizens everyone makes fun of.

    It's a simple solution in that it's simple-minded.

  • Zero respect for wimpy liberals. And even though most muslims arent terrorists, a large percentage is, and the Mosques they build become a safe haven and gathering place for extremists. Their culture is so 3rd century, that women are slaves. Sorry, but have to make an exception with the middle east, and not lwt them in anymore. Otherwise, total kaos.

    If a rabid dog is running around the neighborhood, you dont run around the block looking for it. You put up a fence.

  • The wimpy thing is to subvert your country's constitution and hide behind a fence.

    If your culture is superior, trust that others will embrace it too. I am all for decrying dangerous religion, taxing churches and mosques, and promoting a civilized society where all are treated as equals. You achieve that with the free flow of people and information in the world.

    Rabid dogs shouldn't be kept out with a fence, they should be let in and vaccinated so that your pack grows stronger.

  • Most of us to want to let a rabid dog in our yard...its too dangerous and not worth it.

    Best bet: Keep them out, we have over 310 million people anyway and dont even need new immigrants. so we can use the overpopulation angle. Moreover, we can stop going around the world starting wars.

  • I hate religion, but to label everyone who is Muslim as a terrorist is self defeating. You can't believe how many people who come here and turn into Americans once they live here for a while. I don't know if that's a good thing LOL, but you can't target one specific group of people or we become no better than Nazis. Christians are just as backwards, and so are Jews. Should we ban them too since they've killed more people than all the Muslims put together?

  • We have to make exception for Islam, because it's culture is so ancient, that there is no chance that a good portion would even merge with American culture, and drop their own culture. And their culture is one of enslaving women, and even doing away with women who run off with non-musilms. This is even common practice! Christians did away with that many centuries ago, you cant compare.

    Im sorry, it is a bad mix...we must and will stop imigration from the mid east to this nation.

  • I agree with stopping ALL immigration to our country since we can't take care of the people we have here now. You do realize that christians would turn this country into a theocracy too if they had the chance don't you? ALL religions are backwards and fucked up, not just one. But to become an extremist to fight extremism never works to our advantage.

  • Your wrong. In 1776, about 99% of the people were christian, and the almost 100% christian founding fathers put "freedom of religion" in the Constitution! If there was ever a time for a theocracy, that was the time! Come on, think a little...christians were a lot more tolerant than you might give them credit for, otherwise right now we would be a theocracy.

    I dont practice any religion...not saying I dont believe, thats another matter. I too am against the mix of church and state.

  • The founding fathers weren't christians, so YOU think a little! They were Deists, and most of them hated religion AND christians. And if you don't think christians are fucking this country up right now, then you aren't aware of their impact on every facet of our society. Christians voted in George Bush, and if that doesn't scare you, you're living under a rock.

  • you dummy, most of the founders were christians! And I know for a fact that in the south, 98% were christian. And most of the founders were in Virginia which is the south. Learn somehing will you?

    Bush scares me, Obama scares me. Both sides scare me.

  • Dummy? Fuck you red neck cocksucker! There were NO christians as founding fathers you fucking retard. Now I know why your page is full of people hating on you, you're just another red neck piece of shit that's a racist, shit disturbing asshole. Go fuck your sister some more bubba, and leave the rest of us alone. Stupid cocksucker.

  • Im no redneck, Im more educated than you, you creatin. But when your owned, you resort to calling names and swearing...your the redneck! Or probebly a cross between a redneck and a negro...

    Anyway, you liberals are real dumb and weak too. You dont even know something simple like the founders being christain...sad.

  • A negro? What the fuck? Buddy, I have a masters in computer science and I've owned my own businesses for 30 years. There were NO christians as founding fathers other than a very few. Read a history book that wasn't written by Billy Graham you fucking retard. As for being dumb and weak, I can still bench press 340 for 6 reps, so bring your scrawny god loving ass to Nebraska and I'd be thrilled to beat your pinhead to a pulp. You have no idea how much I hate cocksuckers like you, you racist ass.

  • Your a big internet talker. In real life, it would be a different matter.

  • You're being too general. It's not fair to blame ALL Christians or all followers of a religion for these issues. I know the stereotype is that Conservatives try to justify everything with religion, but there are plenty of religious people on the far left as well, and the center.

    To discriminate everyone is no better than the extremist religious who condemn everyone who doesn't agree.

  • No, condemning religious idiots is different because religion is a lie created to control people who are too stupid to realize it. Anyone who believes that shit is an idiot. As for far left christians, they went out with the Beatles. Left or right, religion is the bane of progress in this world, and it can't be done away with fast enough.

  • when you call Guantanamo Bay Gitmo, are you allowed to call Mauthausen Mauti? or Ausschwitz Schwtzi?

    Cause this could be coming out right of 1984 with its newspeak..

  • Ok, if this guy is conceding that "this is not that easy"...what the fuck is his arguement? Nothing..he has no answers.

  • "this is not that easy" is DEFINITELY not an answer. Explain what's not so easy about it, don't just say it.

    He just danced around the questions while anyone with a rational thought in their brain could see that Cenk's point was a valid one. We aren't some third world country transporting these guys in a bamboo cage!

  • I absolutely agree. His "problem" is how long it is taking to shut this down..right? Then, like you said, he should offer his solution. All I hear is hyprocrisy.

    And as a Kansan..I welcome the possible new move.  That is, like Cenk said, after they are tried where they committed the crime. There should be no other option.

  • Right on. He didn't have an argument or a solution handy, so he just kept repeating that line.

  • i think Cenk showed a lot more class than Phillip did. Go Cenk. You rock brother

  • Good work Cenk

  • "obviously it's not that easy..." what a douche.

  • Oh doesn't Cenk look handsome

  • Phillip sounds like he has an extremely limited knowledge of the subject, and a very limited vocabulary. He keeps repeating himself, and the only idea he CLEARLY states is the fact that he dislikes Obama. Fuck this guy.

  • First excellent Cenk/MSNBC performance.

  • He just said the whole dem party is afraid to make a decision including the president Because of Reps! Is OB and the whole Dem party in cowering in fear of the Reps? Maybe if these Prisoners go to trial they might say things that could out current CIA agents and Obama doesn't want agents to get killed! It's simple.. They aren't going to close it any time soon and it has nothing to do with Reps. They don't run the House or the Senate So why is OB not making a Decision. OB afraid isn't the answer

  • Bipartisanship. If Obama did what the republicans would do in his situation (forcing everything through because they have the majority) he would get attacked for that by everyone.

    I think Obama sees the danger in holding the majority, and he is trying very hard to get both sides working together, but republicans will do whatever they can to be uncooperative. If Obama's had enough and forces stuff, republicans call him a tyrant!

  • I kept expecting to hear "FINISH HIM" Cenk pwned!

  • I must say I agree, "that other guy on the show" . . "doesn't makes sense" . . hahahahahaha are you serious???

  • the breathing is really loud...

  • Cenk is tha man!

  • fuck yeah Cenk! you tell that idiot. Can't believe he forgot your name. I've never heard someone say "The other guy on the show" on a news thing like this lol. Instant dickhead classic

  • Cenk would have had the last word, but the other guy ''sent'' the question to him :P

  • LOL..."The...The other person on this show..." LOL. What a dork. Of course facts and logic have no effect on him.

  • The problem with calling Republican demagogery irrelevant is that Democrats, unlike Republicnas, actually want to work with their fellow citizens for the benefit of the nation. When they see their fellow citizens pissing their pants over a boogieman, they want to reach across and asuage their fears. Maybe they should be more heartless and ruthless like their opponents, but someone has to actually care about the country, not just party.

  • hoorah!

  • If you hate TYT so much why do you spend all day making posts like these? Get a life.

  • agreed

  • Cenk PWND that guy.

  • I like how the guy didn't answer the question but rather did exactly what Cenk said they would. Go AROUND the issue.

  • Oh because just blaming republicans for everything going wrong is not going around the issue..

  • Keep cool, Cenk!

  • Cenk is right on the money. I mean, these guys aren't some masterminds on breaking out of prison!

    White power gangs have way more pull and power in the prison system than Al-Qaeda, with way more soldiers that could disrupt a prison transfer etc. Yet the supermax prisons Cenk described are more safe than Alcatraz!

    Al-Qaeda's strength is that they supposedly have no fear of martyrdom (some do, some don't). However, martyrdom means nothing if you can't down a guard. They don't know kung-fu...

  • Great post, with some details I hadn't considered.

  • How is moving a high-level criminal between court and prison any more difficult than a serial killer or someone else that has had lots of publicity? It's not.

  • Cenk, I'm a huge fan of your work and of TYT in general, but I think the paranoid neo-con soundly beat your ass on this occasion. This occurred, in part, as a result of the way the host handled the interview, but was primarily due to the fact that he delivered his arguments (even though he was plum full of excrement!)more persuasively and without getting animated or emotional (which always negatively affects the credibility of the speaker). Keep up the good work, Cenk - nobody wins them all.

  • I totally disagree. If you listened to the content, Cenk seemed to be the only substantiating and elaborating on his points and rebuttals. Cenk won this one handily.

  • wow! The republican could think of anything to say after Cenk finished and he sounded like a real dumbass. Great job, Cenk!!!

  • obama was ready but as usual all the dems become pussy cats when repubs starts bullying around (as they do on every single issues that ever comes up) Nobody cares about obama's lack of balls or republicans' thugocracy. Right thinking people only care about constitution

  • Cenk totally pwned that republican idiot

  • Cenk should have gotten the last word.

  • Yeah, they never seem to give Cenk the last word. He always gets boned on these shows.

  • Cenk owned him. lol. its not so easy because the government is unneedlessly controlled by confused old people with the help of corporations and the persuassion of capitalism.

  • was it just me or did that republican guy look as if he lived in his mum's basment and played halo 3 before wandering on to a news report?

  • HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY RUDDY!

  • "the other guy on the show"

    cenk is the name you dumb fucking four eyes

  • Haha he didn't know how to pronounce cenk's name

  • Cenk was great. I disagree that it'd be better to interrupt the other guy, the more the other guy spoke the dumber he looked, and Cenk came out looking smarter AND a gentleman for letting him speak.

  • Cenk you let that dumbass Refub kick your ass wit those lies and bullshit!~ You should have interrupted that lil bitch and placed that hoe!~

  • hell yeah, that fool kicked ass

  • I wonder if one of the problems involved with puting the detainees in the US court system, and trying them there, might be the possiblility that they've been tortured and otherwise abused for eight years.

    Surely, their defense lawyers will bring such up if it occured, nullifying any confessions obtained whilst in agony.

    Even the real terrorists, among the peasant farmers sold to the US by rival Afghan clans, will have to go free. GWB sure did fuck things up.

  • That is a great point freedomsfart! But at the end of the day though it forces the court system to get to the meat of the matter which was that laws were broken by "GOVERNMENT" when they authorized torture and so those involved would have to be punished. Get it? Anyone who authorized others to break the laws and the Geneva agreement need to be brought to justice! The illegal ripple effect they created would have aided the terrorists to go free! & thats Y its important to play by the rules!

  • Cenk u were 100% right however the other guys was kinda right too as Obama DOES have the POWER to close the damn prison if he wanted and throw the "convicted" terrorists in a supermax!

    But the fact is that he is not DOING that now is he? Leaders should be brave and do what they think is right, if its wrong to house them in GITMO without trial then its simply just that, its WRONG. I commit a crime in the US I SHOULD BE TRIED IN THE US, SIMPLE! OBAMA needs to stop playing around the damn issues.

  • Lol, no it's not so simple to close it down. There are a lot of things going on behind the curtain. Most of the prisoners aren't the typical criminals. These people are important, and the CIA is involved as well. Not so easy.

  • I see what ure saying however u know what I still disagree. I DO think its easy...What if there were no GITMO in Cuba where would they be housed? Would we have to let them go? I don't think so.

    If we have a valid reason for holding them then we can damn well house them anywhere we want to once its safe and of no treat. We have worst criminals walking around in the society right now! But no one will say that out loud will they. Take Madoff for example, he made A LOTof ppl wish they were dead!

  • Cenk is looking for the solution, the other stupid guy is concentrating on the problem.... you can't find a solution if you are just concentrating on the problem, Cenk gave the truth of the solution... but he can not make people accept it. They have to chose. Solve the problem, or complain, day after day, after day....

  • exactly right Bmore, Cenk is talking about the solution while the other guy just wants to fight.

    The other guy made some comment about Republicans not being at fault every time something doesn't go well for the President. It's true, but at the same time even a minority Republican party can clearly make a hellstorm out of a non issue when it wants to.

  • rise up bmore!!

  • send those terrorists to the max security prison in Maryland..... if they ever "escaped" the gangs here would be able to play hero for once. Most likely they would just be dealt with in their beds.

  • 'its not so easy or it would have been done already' is one of the weakest arguing lines ever. i think cenk performs quite well here, despite obviously being pretty scared. i mean, let's face it, he's right. the talk of 'complex issues' never descends into actual detail - it is unbelievably patronising. and of course these guys wouldn't be able to escape. its not as if they'd just be shuttled over to county in a couple patrol cars, is it?

  • How many times has he been on now ? wouldn't it be awesome if he had his own show on real t.v. and not wavered at all on his views. is there some talk of this ?

  • It's not as easy as he makes it sounds, so obviously it is not so easy mr guy on other side of the screen, duhhh.

  • Both sides had good points

  • lol @ "are they denigrating our prison guards?" tidy work.

  • Lol

  • He's not muslim fucktard.

  • so what if he was?

  • There's nothing wrong with that. That's not what I meant.

    I was replying to someone who was calling him a muslim (As if it were something degrading) Just clearing up the facts. He's not muslim. Just saying.
