And I remember learning in school never to get on any lists. I remember vowing to myself that I'd be a good Nazi if I were alive and German back then, because lots of good Nazis survived WWII, and I learned in school never to give a shit about your fellow man.
So here I am liking this, and putting it in my youtube favorites.
I'm thinking that in the next few years I may be rounded up and thrown on a train to be sent to a camp for it. My name will be looked up in some database and I'll be sent off to the clink.
He's a socialist....Loved him at ESPN. But he went from Joe Six-Pack to Joe Stalin very quickly! He's good....and I admire his talent, but he certainly sold his soul for a huge paycheck. And that's OK. Actually it's great. That's what's capitalism is all about.
The funny thing is, the very idea (concept) of capitalism, that he rails against nightly, is exactly why he is making millions of dollars a year.
If he is as smart as everyone says, maybe he answers that ironic situation on his show.
What do you expect from lawless men? Six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Roman Catholic, whose religion has chosen to expunge Two of the Ten Commandments: the 2nd and the 4th. And these justices stand under the auspices of the most powerful and unrepentant religion of Earth. This nation has allowed them to determine the supreme law for the American people, while these supreme justices, who live in open sin, stand morally unfit to lead their own lives, let alone the lives of others.
@utopiandesign That is not a question of religion. For instance; I often look at porno movies, I don't believe in god, I often look at women on jobs saying that they are quit beautiful, I have a few friend with benefices and I work on Sunday. Based to that, I am way worst than any judge ever in place in the supreme court. However, I strongly disagree with this decision, so much that I will like a constitutional amendment to nullified it.
Keep your religious moral out of the juridic, please.
@therrydicule Religion runs the world, bro. I ask that you check a little history and see the US relationship with the Vatican. A great number of traditions of this land were inherited from them: Christmas, Easter, Scholasticism (names and dates to determine your intelligence), Sunday sacredness, eternal hellfire for those who reject God's love. The list is long bro. I'm telling you this is all about religion. Atheism is the new guy on the block. You think the godfather is open to change?
@utopiandesign Look, you are talking to a student in anthropology, I know the religious part ;) However, religion have a complex link into laws: it is just not that simple. Also, more than everything; this is not the only factor running the modern world.
The result is: many roman catholic I know disagree saying that this will result in greed&gluttony from one side and acedia and envy on the other, and this is the result of a corrupted system.
@therrydicule In the 6th & 7th centuries 2 new religions rose to power: Catholicism and Islam; and the bloody competition began. Both united their religion with civil magistrates to impose penalties for disobedience to their dogmas; and all who stood in their way were deprived of goods and even life. And both deny the 10 Commandments. Their tyranny was most effectively used on the simple unobtrusive Christian churches first established by Christ's Apostles: who wouldn't force the will of anyone.
"Of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations."
The new Supreme Court decision will allow a corporation to run false attack ads against anyone they wish. That means they can now EXTORT every politician in the U.S. to do whatever they want for profit.
If you think you're getting screwed by health insurance companies, Wall Street, and credit card companies now -- just wait. All consumer protection will be the first to go.
Because the N.Y. Times or conservative newspapers run an editorial is irrelevant. They DON'T run ATTACK ADS on TV.
Any corporation can now tell legislators they'll be the target of relentless attack ads if they vote AGAINST corporate wishes
Credit card & insurance companies, banks & Wall Street can now dictate to legislators & EXTORT any politician in America. If they object, they're on the HIT LIST. They dont even need to do it, just threaten.
If Corporations do not have free speech then that means that the New York Times, Fox News and even YouTube would not have free speech. Congress would be free to regulate the content of every Newspaper, tvstation, radio station and website. Sure you could stand in your drive way and say what you want as a person, good luck distributing your message.
Free Speech was not granted to people in the constitution. It already existed. Congress can't infringe on free speech.
All congress has to do is repeal the law giving corporations constitutional protections, but you don't think they are going to piss off there corporate paymasters do you?
Free speech is the founding principle that out country was founded upon. People still get to make decisions on who they will vote for - like Senator Roberts of Massachusetts. Americans are fed up with the Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Boxer agenda. I have speech now that I am out of the Army.
You don't have a saying anymore. The supreme court just robbed you of your free speech by giving it to corporates, who have louder, more expensive megaphone. How would you like to get inferior gear and weapons as a soldier, just so that a massive corporate could make a profit out of selling it to the Army?
So does anyone actually have a constitutional argument to disagree with this ruling? Or are you all going to continue running around like chicken little with his head cut off? If you don't like the outcome of the SC's decision, pass a constitutional law to remove the possibility of corporations "buying" elections.
Yeah a corporation is not a person, it is made up of people; the building is not living; the items within the building aren't alive, it is a concept that is created by people. Concepts cannot vote so corporations should not be given equal rights. The people within it have equal rights, they can spend their money how they choose; but the coffers belonging to the company cannot be used in that way.
This is a silly argument. You are referring to a corporation as if it were its own separate entity. A corporation IS the people who form it.
Let me pose this question. You argue a corporation's members should be allowed to spend their own money however they want, but that the "company's" money should be restricted. If that's right, then to whom does the company money belong? Whose is it? According to you it can't belong to the corporation members because then it could not be restricted.
It belongs to the company. That's why it's considered a crime to take money out of the company's account for personal use without permission of the other share holders. And yes, the owners and share holders are "people", but the corporate isn't. It doesn't even represent the interests of all people who work for it, not to mention that some of the owners/share holders aren't even US citizens.
No it belongs to the corporation members (duh). Look, it's obvious that if a company is a concept, it can't own anything. If every member leaves the company, the company does not continue to exist or do with the company money as it wants. It has no will of its own. That's the idiotic notion you're advancing here.
A company is just a bunch of people who work together for business. They decide how to structure the company and share profit. They can spend their pooled money however they want.
So why is there a limit on the amount of money an ordinary person who doesn't own a corporate can spend? I thought citizens are supposed to have equal rights. Many of the "members" (it's called "share holders", dear) are not US citizens. Why should they have a say on how its ran? I've already made that point, but you were too much of a coward to answer it.
I don't think you understand the ruling. An ordinary person is limited in how much they can DONATE to a political campaign. So are corporation owners/employees. (The SC did not reverse this law). An ordinary person is not limited in how they spend their own money to express their political opinions. Companies used to be, and now by the SC's ruling they are no longer. If an ordinary person wants to make a million dollar movie promoting their candidate, that's legal. Same goes for corporations.
So all the congress has to do is pass a law equating money donation to a campaign with a donation of an ad for or against a candidate? Will that be constitutional? You could argue that freedom of speech is not limited - everyone can still say what they like, they just have to use a standard size megaphone...
That approach has a better chance of holding up than the previous law. You'd have to take into account that people within the corporation have the right to use their money however they want. Perhaps dictate that each member give consent for their share of the donation.
The root of the problem is that money plays such a large role in elections in general. It was never intended to be this way.
If you start talking about citizenship, that's less of a constitutional argument. Regardless, the law still states that non-citizens may not play a role in these sorts of decisions. That is, they do not have a say when it comes to politics. That hasn't changed.
As a side note, not all company employees are share holders. Also there is no such thing as "a corporate". Corporate is an adjective. Corporation is the noun.
I never claimed all employees were share holders. What made you think I did? According to your statement, if even one of the share holders (that is, one of the corporation owners) is not a US citizen, then the whole corporation is banned from participating in the political debate. Thanks for the grammar correction. :)
I was just pointing out that employees are members of a corporation. Members and shareholders are not necessarily the same.
My knowledge gets a little fuzzy here, but from what I understand decisions to make any sort of political contribution or advertisement must be made by a subgroup of the company which consists of US citizens. I would check on that. If it's not the case, we could pass it as law.
Of course we don't give an idea that right to vote. But according to you we did give an idea the right to own material possessions. That's awesome. I wonder which idea owns the most stuff. Probably Wealth or maybe Stealing. You should go ask them. Stealing's kind of quiet though so you might want to try Wealth first. I hear Invisible Fork is a helpful guy...
What this means is that the legal entities that corporations themselves will have power and the people that make up corporations (board directors, CEOs, top executives, middle management, staff, employees) . . .
will be unable to compete in terms of dollar contributions and therefore will have no power at all.
This is not even the super-rich vs. the middle class. It's worse. This is legal entities (corporations) vs. human beings.
People, human beings, not corporations, are supposed to have human rights.
The American People are supposed to have the rights of citizens, not non-human legal entities.
And the right-wing has accomplished this just at the moment when everyone is realizing that legal entities don't *have* any conscience and have to be regulated in some way to keep them from destroying the world economy every once in a while.
Human beings love America and will sacrifice a little to save it. Non-human legal entities couldn't care less if America goes up in smoke tomorrow. They'll just move their headquarters to Asia.
This must be a good ruling,if not.the liberal assholes would not be against it! Anything UncleSamBO,Olberman or especially that fucking asshole Grayson is for....I'm definately against it.
This 5 to 4 Supreme Ct. Ruling which now allows 'We The Corporate' to invest infinite $ into advertising campaigns for the political candidates of their choice is an abomination. This now allows 'We The Corporate' to smash with Corporate ad campaign$ the chances of any political candidate who might be brave enough to stand up for the interests of We The People, interests which do not mesh with the interests of Globalist Corporations, Corps who are nation-less, soul-less, and who's God is Greed.
@tampabayproductions Calling our President a monkey only proves how racist you are. I was proud to vote for the smartest candidate not McCain who is just as dumb as Bush and Just as evil and Fredom hating as Cheney. Cheney used 9/11 to destroy our constitution. He also used fear as Hitler had to get you to willingly accept anything for the empty promise of safety. No one can promise absolute safety no matter how mant rights they take. The burning of Parliment, Hitler used to end liberty.
@cloogerdude The majority are pro womans rights to control HER body. Would you fools create concentration camps for pregnant women to protect the unborn. Charge women with murder for having an abortion? Doctors do not kidnap women and cut the fetus out. The women seek out doctors to end the pregancy. How odd that you on the Right who distrust government are willing to trust the state to control the fertility of women and force women to birth children.
@BorislavX You are an idiot. If you bothered to watch the whole hour, he specified the importance of including GE which owns MSNBC to avoid attacks like yours you dumb ass. Just what I expect from Fox News parrots such as you. Never concern yourself with getting all the facts before you attack.
What part of "Congress shall make no law..abridging the freedom of speech..." doesn't Keith understand? Its too bad previous courts had little respect for the Constitution. Its time some bad law is over turned.
Has Keith complained about Roe V Wade which actually kills the innocent?
@66605 What part of individual rights of each person don't you idiots on the right fail to understand? The Bill of Rights only apply to persons, which a corporation or union are not. Life begins at birth in western law. To show proof of identity and age we show our "birth" certificate not a conception certificate. When have you ever attended a conception day party? Rights are subect to competing interests. Womens rights trump an unborn non person.
The Bill of Rights restricted the powers of the federal government. When it came to speech and religion the federal government could make no law restricting them. It makes no difference if free speech is exercised by individuals or groups; it's still speech.
you're a complete idiot. If this stands, you better get all your shit talking in right now, because you won't be able to once they rape and pillage the internet.
Yup, consevative loudmouths have millions upon millions of listeners, with no filter from the Government, it's what people want to hear. Do you know how I know that's a fact? Because Air America just went belly up. OUT OF BUSINESS.
When all you say is that this country is no good, the people are no good etc they know when they are being bull@@@ed
get it thru your fucking head, fascist asshole - a fetus is NOT A BABY.
admit it: this is about conservatives wanting women to be punished for having sex. if they really believed in 'right to life' they would be funding an orphanage to take unwanted neonates for every obscene placard they print for their little demonstrations.
I'll tell ya, I've seen a thing called an "X-ray" and a "sonogram" it kinda sorta shows a BABY IN THE WOMB. Yup, it's a baby. If it isnt a baby in the womb, then why dosent a puppy come out after nine months? Oh, and what about those things called "pre-mature" births? You see, when a mother gives birth for whatever reason in say the 6th, 7th, or 8th month, what comes out? a Kitten? NO, its a baby, a living breathing human being. & with alot of help, the babies live and thrive, OMG, its a BABY.:)
@btwall60 The law has always said a lfe begins at birth. We have birth certificates and celebate birthdays. If a fetus terminates before birth we never charge the woman with manslaughter. no one has ever said a fetus was anything but an unborn prehuman not a dog or other animal. I was born premature and was born disabled. If I knew a child of mine were disabled I would have to consider quality of life and maybe abort. I know how difficult a disabilty can be.
Thanks to the Bush ultra right wing gutless, nut job conservative appointees to the Supreme Court, we are no longer the USA; we are now officially the UCA The United Corporation of America. .
I cried myself to sleep when I had learned about this today! America as we know it has ended. After reading some of the comments left here it is obvious that a lot of you don't understand how this will end democracy. We are now under the rule of plutocracy. Our voices have been shut, freedom will never ring here again. Only a revolution will put back right what has been torn away from us. Will you die for America now? Blood will run in the streets. Don't believe? Wait and see.
patmountan.. you're a dumbass. this has been going on forever through PAC's. now they just cut the middleman out and made it easier for otheres than on GE and the unions to buy commercials.
My, my such name-calling from someone who thinks everyone else is a dumbass. Are you the annointed smart one? I think your the same person as DoomMantia849. Lucky you that there are others here who will preserve America for you.
Reading the comments by right-wingers on here makes me hope the supreme court could pass a law requiring proof of minimum IQ for voting... or running for office. Idiots, you shouldn't even try to think about politics. You're too shallow-minded. Give up.
@OHiOfiOviriiO I agree but how many Republicans would be allowed then? So many are the vllage idiots of our nation. Palin is as dumb as a post. She did not know why Korea is two states or why WW2 was faught. Even that Bush Doctrine was preemptive war. She and Scott Brown are stupid fools who will say anything to get the support of other idiots. They want Global warming because they seek to begin the End of Days.
Someone please inform Olberman that he works for a corporation being General Electric and his soon to be new boss will be another corporation being Comast.
@xpandergt It does not matter if he works for a corporation or not. His points still stand. Try something other than ad hominems for once.
Criticizing corporations while working for one (in America) is like criticizing the government while working for one (in a communist state). See why your attack is invalid, then? If you don't see why, then don't criticize your boss, because you work for him; don't criticize air pollution while breathing, either.
THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! PEOPLE, PLEASE, WAKE UP!!! Let us come together and FIGHT THIS! If we don't get this ruling overturned you can say goodbye to your freedom. All of it. You might as well move to China (at least they've got a better economy). LET US PUT PARTY POLITICS ASIDE AND COME TOGETHER. PLEASE!!!
@avatar723 - if you think people are to stupid to govern themselves then what is your alternative? Shouldn't people have a right to choose? Do you believe people should have the right to decide for themselves or not?
EVERYONE PLEASE NOTICE - those against this ruling think you are all sheep and too stupid to make decisions for yourself. They seek to take away choice away from you. Are they your friends and do they really have your best interest at heart? I trust you to decide. :)
@Boomer - Sorry, I just happen to believe that people are smart enough to make decisions on their own and can see through propagada and slick marketing.
You obviously don't agree and want to limit what people can see and hear. Who would then decide what can be seen and heard? Politicians? (A group of people infamous for corruption.) Do you want politicians, the same ones that write laws, also control the message? Might that scenario provide more risk of corruption? Of course it would.
"I just happen to believe that people are smart enough to make decisions on their own and can see through propagada and slick marketing."
Obviously they're NOT, or we never would have had 2 terms of Bush/Cheney, Bush wouldn't have bothered to wear a flight suit costume, and Sarah Palin would never have a minute of our time.
Keith has never said anything Amazing. PAC's have been buying candidates forever. Only now Corporations can do it without the Middleman. Unions have been the only ones that were allowed to legally do it in the past without the middleman. this even's the playing field.
@tampabayproductions No, it does not "level the playing field" as you put it. Corporations are world wide, have world wide funds to draw from and take orders from international "interest". Are you comparing the a national union to GE?!! Or Exon Mobil? Get real.
it finally gives the Corporations that are being taxed to death a say in the matter without having to pay the middleman. You get ofr Real. GE OWNS obama and the head of GE is one of his top advisors and the person that vistis the White House more than any other. Wake up you sack.
Do you know anything about Corporate welfare? You certainly don't know crap about GE. It's a huge corporation with many, many fingers in many, many pies and has many, many "heads". Just which "head" of GE visits the White House?
Brian Williams you pathetic Lesbian bitch. He is one of Obama's chief economic advisors and is CEO of GE and one of the most visited people in the White House to date. we will all wait for your intelligent dope smoking reply if you can lay the Bong sdown long enough.
Brian Williams of NBC? The anchor of the nightly news is a CEO of GE? Does NBC know this because they are owned by GE and they have their CEO working the wrong job!!
Olberman is trying to influence public opinion while working for MSNBC which is a combination of Microsoft and NBC and is owned by General Electric. *cough, big corporations* Olberman has been doing for years the very thing he is now complaing about!
People aren't sheep and won't just blindly do whatever corps tell them. Examples: McDonald's Arch Delux, Crystal Pepsi, and new Coke. All had massive ad compaigns made by the best marketing people in the world and they all failed.
@projectpluto You point out products and compare that to political elected (now selected) officials? Your way off base. If GE decides that a Senator or 5 are good for business, you'll see quite a few Olbermans on tv. Or if they deside that 5 senators running are bad for business, you'll see countless ads telling you exactly how bad they are, 24/7
hmm I think Corporations crate jobs lst I heard.. maybe we need more of them since we are over 10%. No wait..let's keep creating dependency like Obama is doing which is NOTHING!
Allowing corporations to donate to politicians will not have a positive or negative effect on how many jobs they create. However, it will allow them to buy the government, effectively leaving us under a tyranny of the elite.
@loqutor I agree. The proof of Free Speech for persons is his attack on GE and all corporations. He can attack his employer and keep his job beause of Free Speech. GE pays him to express his views so if he were fired for attacking this bad decision than he could sue GE for violating his Rights. He is doing what he is paid for.
Jon Stewart made an ABSOLUTE FOOL out of Olbermann last night over his IDIOTIC rant against Scott Brown. Olbermann is an embarrassment to the Democratic Party. I predict he'll be canned by MSNBC in a very short time because his offensive rants are going to start impacting the perception of Democrats now that the political winds have shifted and they aren't going to want this idiot around for the mid-terms.
I hate the ruling, but Keith you have no place to speak. MSNBC is owned by GE who's finance arm is the recipient of tax dollar bailouts. You and your corporation are guilty of the very thing you are sitting up there grandstanding to be against. So go find a bar stool, flip it upside down, and sit on it. Oh and before someone thinks I'm a conservative, Fox is equally guilty of the same crimes. When you have crooks on the inside, you have to tear down the whole system and start fresh.
All of you who are saying Free Speech is the issue here, shame on you. You know better. There was no law prohibiting CEOs or employees of corporations from donating to candidates. Corporations are not people.
Oh, and you should know something else--this decision will also allow labor unions and leftist universities to donate freely to political candidates. Are you sure that's what you want?
@loqutor The reality is that corporations are private groups of citizens with constitutional free speech rights, which were being abridged by the well intentioned yet fatally flawed McCain-Feingold bill. Prior sections of the bill had already been shot down, and I hope soon the entire bill is ended.
Also, you're absolutely right that this decision will allow unions and other lefties to donate, and while I may disagree with them, I must support their freedom to speak.
The funniest thing about a leftist wanting theUS government to have more power is that they have no clue that all of the power they give to the government is going to belong to a republican 4 to 8 years down the road. It's like they are retarded or something.
@5767ziegler I've been trying to figure that out for the longest time. The exact words of a liberal argument are, "fuck corporations." When I proceed to ask who writes their paycheck, built their car, gives them electricity... I don't get much of a response.
extactly!!! wtf would we do w/o corporations?. They need to do a show on the History channel like the one on what happens w/o people on earth, only one with no corporations to make Volvos etc...;)
wouldn't it be horrible to be right about this...I mean if it was all like a big pro wrestling league? But we all were just a bunch of hicks and we took sides?
Banks fuck people...thats their way...like the old joke about the guy picking up a rattlesnake and after it bit him he asked the snake- "why did you bite me?" and the snake said-"It is my nature". I feel like we need snakes but we must beware....also less gov't.
Ya but he did face an economic downturn that if left uncheaked would have been like the Great Depesion or worse. You have to realize that the 700 bilion stimulas he spent was 700 billion dollors in jobs. Money goes to pay PEOPLE.
Duuuude, like......the corporations, MAAAAANNN......like they're all like...woah......teabaggers maaan...
...they're like...corporATION......fern gully avatar, maaaaaaaan!......CORPORATIONS BAD, HIPPIES GOOD......TWO LEGS BAD, FOUR LEGS GOOood.......hey man.........takin' off ma clothes.....they like......corporaaaation maaaan.......youtube......corporation maaaan......fascism......CORporATION.. ...MAAAN......DUDE......doob?......DOOBIES!
Olbermann, you hack, your MSNBC is a Corporation, and they continually shine the shoes of Obama.. CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC are all Corporations, and they constantly shine the shoes and kiss the feet of the anointed one. Unions, and Acorn not only polish the chosen ones shoes, they throw money at the election of Democrats. So why are they legal and Corporations that show support for a politician, wrong? Does this make it likely a Republican will get backing, you two faced, hot dog sucking ass.
clayguy1 is right....why is it that msnbc(olberman) almost never has a non-progressive on his show debating? You can hate FOX if you want, but at least you hear SOME of both sides...unlike msnbc.
Fox news is a joke, just like Cnn, and Msnbc are. Studies have actually shown Fox News viewers to be the most uninformed about the basic FACTS of the Iraq war, of ANY other news organization viewers.
@DEFYtheTHOUGHTPOLICE Actually your wrong. Fox, the other night, gave full coverage to both candidates in Mass on election night. Ran their speeches uncut, and gave a fair and balanced review of each. All... and I'm saying all the other networks, including CNN didn't. They ran all of the Martha's speech but only part of Brown's. How is that fair? No wonder Fox is killing all the other networks in the ratings because people know where the truth is told and not... so your wrong on Fox.
how come people are calling him a "retard" does anybody know what the decision is it is to allow corporations to give unlimited amounts of money to congressional, and presidential campaign ads.
Fascism is here In Amerikkkkaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Corporate Fascism is heree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Mussolini Supreme Court! These are the people who are suppose to protect our constitutional rights! They have failed in jailing BUSH AND CHENEY FOR WAR CRIMES AND THIS IS THE PERFECT REASON WHY! FASCISMMMM IS IN AMERIKKKKA
wow. does keith even know who owns msnbc or is he really that stupid. g.e. is actually in business with barrak obama. and they will admit to that! they dont even try to hide it! and he has the gull to say this??? i used to think that keith was just getting paid to be an idiot, now i think he truly is one! way to go keith keep reporting the fiction. i will keep watching fox break all the neilsen records and you can keep your audience which is less than 1/3 of fox's audience !
This Olbermann character is insane. He is about as credible as Sean Hannity. Do the liberal hypocrites realize that MSNBC is owned by General Electric - one of THE most evil corporations around. Its sad to see so many journalists whore themselves to government-media complex.
Sir, do you not work for a corporation ? Of course !
You might call yourself a NEWS outlet, but you are nothing more than Obama's puppet. A puppet with Freedom of Speech. Winchester & Colt deserves Freedom of Speech also.
And I remember learning in school never to get on any lists. I remember vowing to myself that I'd be a good Nazi if I were alive and German back then, because lots of good Nazis survived WWII, and I learned in school never to give a shit about your fellow man.
Life ain't worth living it in the DPRK.

"Of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations."
The new Supreme Court decision will allow a corporation to run false attack ads against anyone they wish. That means they can now EXTORT every politician in the U.S. to do whatever they want for profit.
If you think you're getting screwed by health insurance companies, Wall Street, and credit card companies now -- just wait. All consumer protection will be the first to go.

Because the N.Y. Times or conservative newspapers run an editorial is irrelevant. They DON'T run ATTACK ADS on TV.
Any corporation can now tell legislators they'll be the target of relentless attack ads if they vote AGAINST corporate wishes
Credit card & insurance companies, banks & Wall Street can now dictate to legislators & EXTORT any politician in America. If they object, they're on the HIT LIST. They dont even need to do it, just threaten.

If Corporations do not have free speech then that means that the New York Times, Fox News and even YouTube would not have free speech. Congress would be free to regulate the content of every Newspaper, tvstation, radio station and website. Sure you could stand in your drive way and say what you want as a person, good luck distributing your message.
Free Speech was not granted to people in the constitution. It already existed. Congress can't infringe on free speech.

So does anyone actually have a constitutional argument to disagree with this ruling? Or are you all going to continue running around like chicken little with his head cut off? If you don't like the outcome of the SC's decision, pass a constitutional law to remove the possibility of corporations "buying" elections.
calandur 2 years ago
Yeah a corporation is not a person, it is made up of people; the building is not living; the items within the building aren't alive, it is a concept that is created by people. Concepts cannot vote so corporations should not be given equal rights. The people within it have equal rights, they can spend their money how they choose; but the coffers belonging to the company cannot be used in that way.
shaicapone 2 years ago
This is a silly argument. You are referring to a corporation as if it were its own separate entity. A corporation IS the people who form it.
Let me pose this question. You argue a corporation's members should be allowed to spend their own money however they want, but that the "company's" money should be restricted. If that's right, then to whom does the company money belong? Whose is it? According to you it can't belong to the corporation members because then it could not be restricted.
calandur 2 years ago
It belongs to the company. That's why it's considered a crime to take money out of the company's account for personal use without permission of the other share holders. And yes, the owners and share holders are "people", but the corporate isn't. It doesn't even represent the interests of all people who work for it, not to mention that some of the owners/share holders aren't even US citizens.
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
No it belongs to the corporation members (duh). Look, it's obvious that if a company is a concept, it can't own anything. If every member leaves the company, the company does not continue to exist or do with the company money as it wants. It has no will of its own. That's the idiotic notion you're advancing here.
A company is just a bunch of people who work together for business. They decide how to structure the company and share profit. They can spend their pooled money however they want.
calandur 2 years ago
So why is there a limit on the amount of money an ordinary person who doesn't own a corporate can spend? I thought citizens are supposed to have equal rights. Many of the "members" (it's called "share holders", dear) are not US citizens. Why should they have a say on how its ran? I've already made that point, but you were too much of a coward to answer it.
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
I don't think you understand the ruling. An ordinary person is limited in how much they can DONATE to a political campaign. So are corporation owners/employees. (The SC did not reverse this law). An ordinary person is not limited in how they spend their own money to express their political opinions. Companies used to be, and now by the SC's ruling they are no longer. If an ordinary person wants to make a million dollar movie promoting their candidate, that's legal. Same goes for corporations.
calandur 2 years ago
So all the congress has to do is pass a law equating money donation to a campaign with a donation of an ad for or against a candidate? Will that be constitutional? You could argue that freedom of speech is not limited - everyone can still say what they like, they just have to use a standard size megaphone...
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
That approach has a better chance of holding up than the previous law. You'd have to take into account that people within the corporation have the right to use their money however they want. Perhaps dictate that each member give consent for their share of the donation.
The root of the problem is that money plays such a large role in elections in general. It was never intended to be this way.
calandur 2 years ago
Getting rid of payed ads is the answer. We just have to figure out a constitutional way to do so (or change the constitution).
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
If you start talking about citizenship, that's less of a constitutional argument. Regardless, the law still states that non-citizens may not play a role in these sorts of decisions. That is, they do not have a say when it comes to politics. That hasn't changed.
As a side note, not all company employees are share holders. Also there is no such thing as "a corporate". Corporate is an adjective. Corporation is the noun.
calandur 2 years ago
I never claimed all employees were share holders. What made you think I did? According to your statement, if even one of the share holders (that is, one of the corporation owners) is not a US citizen, then the whole corporation is banned from participating in the political debate. Thanks for the grammar correction. :)
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
I was just pointing out that employees are members of a corporation. Members and shareholders are not necessarily the same.
My knowledge gets a little fuzzy here, but from what I understand decisions to make any sort of political contribution or advertisement must be made by a subgroup of the company which consists of US citizens. I would check on that. If it's not the case, we could pass it as law.
calandur 2 years ago
Yes' corporates aren't "people". We don't give them the right to vote and some of their share holders aren't even American citizens,
HeyNonyNonymous 2 years ago
Of course we don't give an idea that right to vote. But according to you we did give an idea the right to own material possessions. That's awesome. I wonder which idea owns the most stuff. Probably Wealth or maybe Stealing. You should go ask them. Stealing's kind of quiet though so you might want to try Wealth first. I hear Invisible Fork is a helpful guy...

I wish Olbermann were somehow exaggerating.
What this means is that the legal entities that corporations themselves will have power and the people that make up corporations (board directors, CEOs, top executives, middle management, staff, employees) . . .
will be unable to compete in terms of dollar contributions and therefore will have no power at all.
This is not even the super-rich vs. the middle class. It's worse. This is legal entities (corporations) vs. human beings.

People, human beings, not corporations, are supposed to have human rights.

We're getting awfully close folks, you should be hearing that Jaws music playing in the background.

Olbermann, you hack, your MSNBC is a Corporation, and they continually shine the shoes of Obama.. CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC are all Corporations, and they constantly shine the shoes and kiss the feet of the anointed one. Unions, and Acorn not only polish the chosen ones shoes, they throw money at the election of Democrats. So why are they legal and Corporations that show support for a politician, wrong? Does this make it likely a Republican will get backing, you two faced, hot dog sucking ass.

FOX News is no better. They ALL OBEY the same MASTERS, giving the retards something to fight about, the ILLUSION of CHANGE.
BUSH or OBAMA, CNN or FOX, it doesn't mean SHIT.
PRO-WRESTLING is more solidly grounded in reality, than this LEFT vs RIGHT garbage.

clayguy1 is right....why is it that msnbc(olberman) almost never has a non-progressive on his show debating? You can hate FOX if you want, but at least you hear SOME of both sides...unlike msnbc.
5767ziegler 2 years ago
Both sides on Fox? Only when it's 3 against 1.
Fox news is a joke, just like Cnn, and Msnbc are. Studies have actually shown Fox News viewers to be the most uninformed about the basic FACTS of the Iraq war, of ANY other news organization viewers.

@DEFYtheTHOUGHTPOLICE Actually your wrong. Fox, the other night, gave full coverage to both candidates in Mass on election night. Ran their speeches uncut, and gave a fair and balanced review of each. All... and I'm saying all the other networks, including CNN didn't. They ran all of the Martha's speech but only part of Brown's. How is that fair? No wonder Fox is killing all the other networks in the ratings because people know where the truth is told and not... so your wrong on Fox.

This Olbermann character is insane. He is about as credible as Sean Hannity. Do the liberal hypocrites realize that MSNBC is owned by General Electric - one of THE most evil corporations around. Its sad to see so many journalists whore themselves to government-media complex.
