People Joe Klein Thinks Are Stupid: Ed Schultz and YOU

[1Atilla5]

1Atilla5

Given Klein's backround, one begins to understand why he is so much in favour of this, and every other war against the Arabs. When you got a surrogate army at your disposal, why not use it

Stupid due!

[robertsorensen]

Joe you have shit for brains.

[newk6669]

ed is a tool

[Acecool444]

JOE KLEIN! YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR ASS KICKED IN!

Now I know why God Invented A Hell! To destroy all the FUCKING STUPID PEOPLE!

[Acecool444]

Join The Armed Forces and Become "HIRED HIT MEN" or "PAWNS of War" for the Corporate Elite!

In Other Words! "YOUR STUPID" and your bankrupting the very country you think your fighting for.

DUMB ASSES! Just whoring themselves out for a job that requires little education, and all the "FREE BENEFITS", like College Tuition, etc, etc, Not to mention, all the life long medical treatment for the wounded, which is also paid for by...

THE HARD WORKING AMERICAN TAX PAYER!

[MrAataghi]

easy in not easy History has shown you can get in to Iran Afghanistan and Pakistan. but not easy to get out.

[MrNoEleven]

贪婪的美国人是这个世界和平的最大威胁.FUCK ~

[LAlba9]

AFGHANISTAN...LAND OF BUZKASHI...

GET OUT NOW!!

(Leave the goat...take the canolis.)

[jerzygurl135]

Using the word STUPID & ED SCHULTZ in the same sentence is somewhat redundant. Special Ed should be back doing sports radio in the Mid West by summer time. Comcast cant take-over soon enough.

[zackyeung]

i believe the way he made the comment reflects how much he was trying to his point right. after all, a war like this has its start from one man's nod has to be supported by lots of others' recognitions by a continual propaganda, be it politically motived or not. klein was trying to egoistically make his case, and perhaps the anti-american sentiment in afghanistan right now is going to wreak havoc, but like everything that comes with its consequence, it's time to try the peaceful path.

[hobo59]

Lame FAIL, I gave the video a thumbs down for being so stupid to think we don't know you've taken the interview out of context where Joe Klein says Ed Shultz holding up the sign saying "Get Out" Is stupid !

[alleygh0st]

@hobo59 Anyone with at least two brain cells could see that. Doesn't make the video lame. You know what you can  do with that thumb of yours....

[hobo59]

@alleygh0st Well that makes two idiots who disagree with me you and nut job Ed ! LOL Lame dumbshits !

[fallfly1]

pave afghan and iraq with the blood of the left.

[fallfly1]

i hate to say this... if u want afg... nuke it. period.

[studleylee]

Send that fat fuck there to fight

[johnnyb93]

Klein is so stupid.

[panamapostings]

Joe Klein and Time were two loud advocates for the neo-con adventurism into Afghanistan. They weren't worth listening to then and they sure as Hell aren't worth listening to now. If we could resurrect each and every one of the KIA in Afghanistan explain the current status of the war and ask them if the war was worth fight, I wonder if they would agree with Joe the Warmonger?

[bond00752]

I guess Klein forgot what he said during the last POTUS election:

"It's not about John McCain per se -- it's about WAR, and those who push it without giving a damn about the consequences for the U.S.A. or the young soldiers who defend it. (Including, yes, McCain.)"

Since then, Joe's pals in the Corporatocracy have brought him back around to spewing their message, with the help of a little cash money no doubt.....

Klein's a corporate hack. Always has been, always will be.....

[grendelcatt]

Robert,

one million per soldier per year (wow) but,

how much per mercenary per year ???

[expatted]

Joke Line doesn't get it-- pompous ass.

[Tressco]

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

- Major General Smedley Butler ("War Is A Racket")

[jcl4649botl]

What is stupid and a tragedy is that the U.S. elite rulers make our country be in a perpetual state of war.

[Chicago911Truth]

YES GET OUT OF THERE

WE NEVER INVESTIGATED 9/11

INSTEAD WE ILLEGALLY INVADED THEM W/O CAUSE W/O REASON

[Chicago911Truth]

yes

get out of there

9/11 was not investigated when we illegally invaded there.

[ncrdisabled]

Yes a million dollars per soldier and yet most of them make less than minimum

wage and some are on food stamps. We should pull them out and pay them more after all they are putting there life on the line. Would you put you life on the line for that kind of dough?

[NightSord]

why is the U.S is on a war with Afghanistan again?

[jeff562003]

A million per soldier a year...who's making a killing!!!!!

[Chauncykat1]

The decision to stay is foolish & unsustainable as well. I believe those who wish us to be at war want to push us over the brink financially. If they can break Soviet Union, they can damage US. They are using the elixir of 'freedom'.

Joe Klein is a myopic waste of space - perfect poster boy for the Military Industrial Media Complex. Reject their Kool-aid immediately.

[cpuwrite]

We need to get out of Afghanistan, but we shouldn't do it because of word-twisting and deception. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that what Joe Klein was referring to as "stupid" wasn't the concept of getting out of Afghanistan, it's the act of writing something on a sign and holding it up to the camera when you're SUPPOSED TO BE having an open debate.

One Lie Machine (the Republicans) is enough. Put an end to these con games.

[59Mill1890]

We need to get out of Afghanistan. We are killing our young men and boys. We are killing military and civilians in Afghanistan. Why do we have a right or a need to do this?  Financing the senseless wars has placed America in a weakened position. Some other countries do not agree with us. We could lose our standing completely, if we have not already done so, and preventing Americans from having medical care, so that wars may continue shows a complete lack of morals.

[electricguitarfreak1]

Let Joe Klein go and fight. Or whatever we are doing there.

[46streicher]

Zbigniew Brzezinski, US National Security Adviser under Jimmy Carter, has as much as said that the reason we lured the Russians into Afghanistan was to bring down the USSR by destroying their armies and draining their economy, waging war in a hopeless terrain. The British had a bad time there, too. Why can't we learn from others' mistakes??

[mmedefarge]

@46streicher Afghanistan wasn't called the "graveyard of empires" for nothing. Still, the Taliban would likely topple the weak & corrupt Karzai government & help the fundos of N.W. Pakistan to topple their own weak & corrupt Pakistani government & get at those nukes.

[bobertothefish]

Asking volunteers to sacrifice life and limb for a war built upon lies is not just stupid, its criminal. Joe Klein is cog in the machinery of war and empire.

[StrengthofAllah]

that's not at all what he's saying

[martiansurgery]

Hopefully people start to keep score on who the 'Opinions Paid for by Big Business' talking heads are and how they slowly reveal themselves

[Trekkerjon]

Another expert with pubic hair on his face advocates a war.

[PIGBOS]

Most of us already knew Iraq was a lie,and we knew we were stealing their oil,we also appeased AIPAC by having a military base in the middle east. Afghanistan is another lie, their reason THEY WANT TO KILL US,THEY WANT TO KILL US,and you'd be surprised at the number of people that believe that nonsense. they just want us out of their country,and stop meddling in their affairs

[smclady1947]

Joe Klein is a nobody. Never heard of him. He is now showing how stupid he is

for making this statement. The MORON!

[rickshlosser]

Who is Joe Klein, and why is he soooo stupid!

[JKEJulian]

No person or company should be allowed make a profit off of war. That would take the incentive out of prolonging wars. Getting out would reduce the deficit that Republican phonies are claim they are so worried about. Plus we wouldn't be wasting lives and resources.

[PaulMagillSmith]

This is why corporatist Hawks/schills like Klein rarely dare to show up on progressive truly main stream American thinking shows like Ed's..They have no valid argument as to why we have spent unnecessary soldier lives, and $300 billion, on a country with a GDP of only $14 billion except oil/gas scams, fearmongering, and support of the CIA drug traffic hidden empire.

[modernhumor]

Joe Klein was equating Ed Schultz's simple statement to end the war with right wing political discourse.  In his eyes, Shchult's simple anti-war statement is equal to calling for the murder of politicians that voted for Obama's healthcare---- or so his thinking seems to go.

[NakedWombat666]

Joe Klein - another armchair warrior. People die and he farts around in a TV studio. Save us from genteel warmongers!

[justlikeu2]

This guy either just doesn't get it or it is all about the money to him. I wonder what his views would be if he was fighting this war. Since he believes it is so justifiable, I think he should go over there and take the place of some kid who was in the national guard. He has no clue what killing another human being or sitting in a fox hole waiting to die does to a person. I am not a true pacifist but if the U.S. is going to declare war, there should be a damn good reason. What an idiot.

[antonio63ster]

This gentleman is obviously paid by those who profit from war!

[faaronshreman]

Reminds me of my sister, when we were kids. If she didn't understand what I was talking about she'd say, "That's so stupid."

[smackme420]

Like I read in the Bible or somewhere, "Stupid is as stupid does". (or was that Forrest Gump?) The war, and occupation in this lowly place is going as planned. This war is the perfect cover story to destroy the American economy and have an excuse to do whatever the rulers of the planet want without too much opposition from the public.

[JamesRobertSmith]

Klein is a stinking corporate shill.

[crghyz]

Klein tells it like it is. Ignoring the public will has become de jure for elected representatives and respected (sic) pundits. And we live with it - stupid is as stupid does, no?

[mbenet]

@loraxmax Saddam's "crime" was nationalizing Iraq's oil AND Buy/Sell the oil in Euros not Dollars.

[betterpresident09]

The Military Industrial Complex are the terrorists. The U.S. has been stuffing their pockets with loads of cash for decades. They invent and promote conflicts just to sell their people killing machines. President Eisenhower warned us, but did we pay attention, NO.

[Ernieshaus]

I think John Lennon said it best: "If everyone demanded world peace instead of a second television, we would have world peace."

[Aiden057]

You know what stupid is: Joe Klein

[bonnieleec]

We should not have wasted the life of even one American on that war. People like Joe Biden were against it in the beginning. Is Joe Biden stupid? Is Russ Feingold?

[trackintracks]

And Then They Stick These WAR'S all the way UP Your ASS! It just Goes To Say! Quite Frightening to Show! And a Pain One would Claim! So Please Help Me and Get These Please! Out From my ASS!! Please Help Me It Pains! These Warlords so Crass! So get Ready Your Next! They all Are Ashamed! Dont Feel it Dont Bother They want You in Pain. I'll be on the next Train out .. OR In a Bus or a Plane. 

[cal48boy]

Mr. Joe Klein,,,I was drafted and in Vietnam battle zone,,,2yrs in the Navy. So i know American war, Joe. And you? Well, this Middle East war is just as foolish.

[love2healnow]

Reports even before we went into Afghanistan said that there are over a trillion dollars worth of minerals in Afghanistan. That and the pipeline are why American soldiers and Afghan civilians are dying there. So some greedy Corporate owners can walk away with the money after American citizens have paid the price once again.

[chalomirof63]

Oh yeah Mr. Klein: and your take on history is so profoundly brilliant and scholarly!! If you haven't learned anything from history, from the British and Russian failures in Afghanistan, I think we all know "who's stupid"! As Big Ed said, your greed dictates your moronic take on the whole issue. Educate yourself, Mr. Klein, before you call anyone other than yourself "stupid"!!!

[bbossin]

I a rarely agree with Ed Schultz, "Get Out!" of Afghanistan is something we can agree on.

[catherinemcclenahan]

Imagine if we put all this money into the US education system. We are wasting billions of dollars for something that is not working. We need to stop the killing & start negotiating a peace. We need a department of peace. And we all personally need to start promoting peace on earth in whatever way we can. We need to be the change.

[shermariesheldon]

It's not as simple or as easy as "getting out now" but we need to take steps to do that.

[loraxmax]

Take the profit out of war and we won't have any. Saddam's "crime" was not 9/11 or WMD - it was nationalizing Iraq's oil. Big oil met with Cheney with maps of Iraq's oil fields and divided up the future privatized leases. It was never about what we have been told. Everything we have been told is lies. We are "stupid" for believing any of it.

[mbenet]

@loraxmax Saddam's "crime" ... AND Buy/Sell the oil in Euros not Dollars.

[mjosiebert]

@loraxmax -- we didn't believe it, its the rest that we have to wake up, preaching to the choir is getting so old....how and when are we gonna be able to get our voice heard? I ask sincerely, I want so much for the masses to realize the truth but they are so resistant! and the MSM is so paid for! what can we do?

[humnasheen]

@loraxmax u Americans were stupid but not we. u cannot get out of Afghanistan unless we let u leave.we will diffidently bury USA in Afghanistan same as we did with soviets,British,Alexander.No doubt Afghanistan is going to b the grave yard of USA also. By God we will take revenge of every innocent u killed in Muslim world.watch this vid till end ( youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=SRgzKb­jh-oU) u will come to know that what we r going to do now.PEACE :D

[RunTimeErrorBoy]

I don't know Joe Klein so obviously he isn't doing a great job vindicating himself.

[MauiDems]

You're stupid, Joe Klein

[LipsMalloy]

Google this:

Fewer than one in 10 Afghans are aware of the 9/11 attacks and their precipitation of the war in Afghanistan, says a study from an international think tank.

A report from the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) shows that 92 percent of those surveyed had never heard of the coordinated multiple attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001. It also shows that four in 10 Afghans believe the US is on their soil in order to "destroy Islam or occupy Afghanistan."

[limitedgovt999]

Who is Joe Klein?

The sooner we get out the better.

[cyberspore00]

Hey, The energy conglomerates want their pipeline & the CIA needs the opium to fund their Corporate agenda. How dare anyone question the modern overlords!

[nemo12degraff]

Honestly it IS a complicated situation and just packing up and leaving isn't fair to the Afghan people, HOWEVER a military occupation is not the way to help them. There are other avenues that I think the US Government should look into and not resort to violence as a default.

[budweezer76]

BITE ME JOE!

[bbbbmer]

Joe Klein is STUPID! and IRRELEVANT! 

[rewinn]

Joe Klein's career depends on having stuff to report. A war like this is great for him.
