TYT Hour - June 22nd, 2010

[Kiddeth]

the question shouldn't;t be is obam weak enough to not fire him but is he strong enough to not fire him.

obama is of weak character how he has fooled so many people is beyond me.

[1anthonysh]

Ed can you touch more on nation building here b/c rachel clearly did not

[foreverfamous726]

its my birthday today thumbs up !

[lasanthikavijisenha]

Narrow Naughty girls and ladies here benaughtyman.info

[likecrunchyness]

He did it on purpose to get fired. Just like the last guy under Bush.

[1105cookiemonster]

=(} this is BOARING

[morganbath]

@wickedman6 No i was typing to you :) There is a movie called "Hooligans".

[juneausucks]

love the show, needs to be a bit louder. i got my volume maxed and i cant hear it over my loud ass girlfriend.

[MrGnarus]

McChrystal comes out a winner because he did not lose the occupation of Afghanistan and he didn't quit it either. McChrystal got promoted for doing some very secret and illegal.

[harrysadlermusic]

TYT: Keep up the good work. I'll keep watching if you keep providing an excellent alternative to the major news networks!

[jjbul]

This is one of the best tyt hours i've seen

[morganbath]

@wickedman6 great movie

[1brainylad]

anyone know ?. What happens to Mcchrystal now .is he still a 3 star general ?. how close is this to treason?. Will he be reassigned. What about the other soldiers quoted in the article.

[LeLimeLine]

Leave me alone while I smoke my splooge.

[UNLebanon]

Whoa, what's with this Newsmax advertisement in the video? Does TYT know that commercial is there?

[UNLebanon]

Not that I agree or disagree with either president, but I have a question for Youtube:

Bush fired at least 3 of his generals. Obama has fired McChrystal. Is either president in the wrong or the right? Are these two presidents comparable in this regard?

Let me know what you think youtube.

[morganbath]

@UNLebanon It depends on the "why". If its because he disagrees with the president, then it was a weak move. But if its because the trust in the chain of command has been compromised, its pretty much the only move. And in this case, with the comments they made, I think it was the latter.

[Malphar]

Let me remind you why the U.S. is going to stay forever in afghanistan, minerals maybe worth a Trillion dollars or more

[biskitlee]

What is this love affair Youtube has with this left wing TYT trash?

[omars1982]

@biskitlee Uh, this is how the news is suppose to be - not the lies you hear on FOX, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc.

[snofthndr]

I think Glenn beck might actually disprove a loving god...

[trw14]

He has a choice. So do you quit or do you piss the president off enough to make him fire you. On one end you'll be called a coward and quitter on the other end you'll be loved by the GOP for standing up to the president, get book deals, be a contributor on news shows, and everything else. No one can tell me that he didn't know what he was doing when he did it. There's no way any one could say that he didn't know what he was doing was wrong.

[trw14]

I think that he did it on purpose as funny as it may sound. People keep saying he made a mistake, he made a mistake. Middle school Junior ROTC boys make mistakes. Five star military men make choices. I think that he knew what he was doing when he did it. He was looking for a way out but if he quit history and people would have deemed him a coward and a quitter who walked out on American's children in Afghanistan. If he is fired he would be branded a rebel general who stood up to Obama.

[majikninja07]

@WesSideCali you are a lost cause please stop speaking it affects others, but to clarify for others "trickle down" is a system for profits made by the bottom taken by the top to invest so that it "trickles down" and is just a private version of whats known as big government that says the few knows better then the many.

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

I've just read that it's official, McChrystal is gone. He was replaced by Petraeus.

[totoibra1]

Well Glenn the yanks are through to the next round of the world cup - ahead of their old colonial masters! You must love that Glenn.

[aarondavid826]

USA wins! First place! Fuck all you American hating faggots. USA! USA! USA!

[nilbud]

@aarondavid826 A wholly owned subsidiary of China PLC.

[aarondavid826]

@nilbud fail

[Nejitheultimate]

Fuck you Beck. Fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!

[halcyon0830]

[xadam2dudex]

if u know McChrystal's history u would know that he is kinda hot headed egotistic guy..he was a party animal in West Point and had 100's of disciplinary actions not what u would call an example of military decorum and discipline..I figure his family knew somebody with influence to keep him in the academy ..with a record like his there is no other way he wouldn't have been kicked out

[majikninja07]

@ProfessorCP you seem to think he waves a magic wand and it happens the congress was a majority democrat

[btc8128]

Bye, bye sum' bitch. McChrystal will be on Fox news by the end of the week.

[xadam2dudex]

@btc8128 yep he wasn't worried about it he knew he had a well heeled/paying job waiting him in the right wing media and the circus that goes with it

[btc8128]

@xadam2dudex You sure got that right

[Ivan951]

A bunch of ass kissers Glenn has hired... god please someone sock him if you get a chance.

[xadam2dudex]

@Ivan951 with a cast iron frying pan

[beerbeerbear742]

people on unemployment can't afford drugs.... silly.

[majikninja07]

To say that the collapse happened in just bush's term is stupid, it started speeding up with opening up china and giving them the lowest tariff of any country, and with reagans assaults on the poor / middle class and industrial owners and infrastructure and has been continued since then only to be propped up by the .com bubble that landed on the housing bubble and there is no bubble big or strong enough to stop the hard landing out side of gold which is always the last bubble.

[WesSideCali]

@majikninja07 Are you saying that this recession has "trickled down?"

[majikninja07]

republican philosophy? and pays just the republican's bills? Obama's national debut was for the bail out

[ProfessorCP]

@majikninja07 Bush's last acts were the first bailouts.

[rostant999]

did you read the article? it made a lot of sense especially of biden and clinton

[rostant999]

@rostant999 but this badass general like miller lite lime flavoured beer - what a pussy

[asdfxcxv]

ok the nunchuks I would consider badass but the 1 meal a day/4 hours of sleep a night is psychotic 

[MaryJesusJoseph]

I'm sure if someone explained to the French that they meant gay as in "stupid" not gay as in "homosexual" the French would let it go.

[dffykvn]

As an opthamologist I agree with Rand Paul.

I followed Rands example and made the Organization for Eye Serjuery and Freedumb

I'm the president, vice president, and in charge of handing out medical licenses.

If Obama had his way Rand and I wouldn't be practicing medicine just because some high fillutin board of elitists think that what I do is cruel and inhuman.

Rand supported me when I wanted to replace a mans eyes with hundreds of goldfish eyes glued together so I have his back now!

[MPedroful]

Unfettered greed will destroy this country (USA)  and everything in the world that we call civilization.

[dffykvn]

@MPedroful We get what we deserve.

As long as the revolution tears down wall street and the sidewalks are lined with the impaled skulls of bankers I'll face the end of western civilization happy.

[Epicsaursus]

Obama would be a fool for fire McCrystal, and on top of that, he doesn't have the balls to.

[memitobonito]

@Epicsaursus

Well he did fire him.  You owe Obama an apology asshole.

[harrysadlermusic]

@Epicsaursus ... turns out he's got some big ol' balls

[RebellionDaLasIcon]

This is my opinion, I think Obama and Mcchrystal are working to together so Obama can keep his p[promise of a withdrawal in 2011. Its all coming in to plan....

[kk207]

communist => people will not be lazy

republican=> people will not be greedy

both sounds great in paper, massive fail when apply to real society.

[keggerous]

@kk207 that why i think we need the capitalist insentives and the communist restriction and control. well communist type control when it comes to of course, healthcare, police, ect. but also big companies and maybe even in getting ppl jobs. i think one inferestructure is better then thousands which is what we have now. a bunch of different seperate entities that make up our economy, whn we could just have one giant company/government. maybe im an idiot though

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

@kk207

actually communism assumes that people will not be greedy. capitalism relies on individual greed to further the common good, while republican deregulation removes the infrastructure that translates individual to common interest.

[tekhiun]

@kk207 actually both fail because of greed. If both were regulated both would work (socialism not communism in this case)

[sariputraa]

@kk207 mm the pb with communist countries is not lazyness, it's still greed :D

[panathabro]

@kk207 communism has never been applied to society..and please do not refer to the soviets as they were state capitalists as opposed to private capitalism here in the states

[AbtinX]

@panathabro about communism, your preaching to the deaf choir bro (4 months late but I want to say the same everytime I see "communism doesn't work")

[Jacktastic84]

@kk207 actually it's just greed that ruins things in both cases

[balderdash707]

@kk207 It's not that they don't think people will be greedy. They just don't think that people will be greedy to the point of being unfair and unethical.

Which is just as wrong.

[BabylonsKing]

Obama is Bush they just gave him a paint job.

[nick16watt]

Beck's never seen a baseball riot? Tell him to swing by Boston or New York...

[JoeyBieg]

@nick16watt You mean Philly? That's the worst.

[nick16watt]

@JoeyBieg That too!

[WhereIsTheExit]

Good report Cenk. Very interesting.

[JMarkD89]

Cenk, man, keep up with the news on Palestine.

[xdir]

McChrystal wants to bail out of Afghanistan, by burning his bridges he has made it impossible for Obama to let him remain as Commander in Chief.

Best revenge is to demote McChrystal to Leutenant and assign him to Helmand.

[moviedude22]

SUCH a puuuuuusss....hover LOL

[jamieconon]

the glenn beck bit was actually pretty funny apart from the riot part

[nilbud]

Get the fuck out of Afghanistan before hundreds more US mercenaries are executed.

[kazooga1234]

not to mention their president was a coke head and limbaugh is also a druggy so what should we do about them

[bevon17]

this is prob one of the best shows I've seen.

I love tyt

[zerackid]

"We are having dinner whit some french minister" .."Thats fucking gay!" : D

[penfolduk78]

TYT is awsome

[bobbytiger]

While McCrystle is absolutely correct in his remarks about Biden and Obama being, (in my words), complete ass-holes,

the dude has to go.

First, he was a stupid fuck to allow the liberal mag. "Rolling Stones" to get anywhere close to him, and, if he is fired, he won't have to answer to the current "Commander In Chief", who has no fucking idea what he is doing about anything.

[nilbud]

@bobbytiger Once again you're an ignorant bitch. You don't even know what Rolling Stone is you hideously inbred fucktard.

[CmdrTobs]

@bobbytiger All I took from that is ' liberal mag. "Rolling Stones"'.

lulz., it's like reading a black comedy. Makes me more convinced I didn't really understand the irony in Dr Strangelove.

[memitobonito]

@bobbytiger

Yeah you're an inbred fucktard, kill yourself.

[kazooga1234]

every1 loses the game but i got to win first ha bisky
