Oh, it's nice to see that civil discourse is alive and well here in a public forum, where people listen respectfully to each other's opinion and then debate the issues, point by point, supporting their opinions with facts.
Oh, the Republicans have always been fair, balanced and respectful, including when Dick Cheney told Sen. Patrick Leahy to go F* himself. Very respectful.
Ya, sure he's saying what we all want to hear. BUT, he's asking for campaign contributions. I say, show us you can get the Public Option into LAW FIRST. Then ask for money.
Real leadership? You gotta be kidding me. If some Republican said what Grayson said about Republicans being "proponents" of a holocaust, except with the Republican in question detailing how state run health care went the way of the totalitarian ideologies of Communism, Fascism and Nazism.
I'm sure the Young Turks would be the obvious hypocrites in being rather quite upset.
republicans do say that obama is a nazi they do it all the time. They carry big signs with that and shout it out at town hall meetings.
You should know that a "holocaust" is different than THE holocaust.
After THE holocaust the usage was limited. Before it's not unusual for old writers to say like "the settlers moving west were cut down by a wintery holocaust.
Or "the salamanders of the pond were destroyed by a holocaust of water moccasin snakes"
grayson needs to be put in a fucking mental hospital. this guy is completely insane. he can call people vampires and whores, but the moment he uses the N-word the Democrats will finally swoop in and put an end to this crap.
mattrmc, let's just say that your predictions are a little, you know - embarrasing, pathetic? Pick your word.
While whore and vampire though harsh are perfectly understandable and for some well deserved comparisons, it's interesting why u think Grayson suddenly would switch to an N-word-analogy for these ppl. Feel free to elaborate on what point he, in your mind, would hope to communicate by this, not to mention what it would signify to you.
Honestly comparing whores and ppl who betray the constituence that elected them is indeed a bit unfair to the hardworking prostitutes worldwide, their way of screwing you is honest and so much nicer.
The vampire community is less easily offended. The history of vampire opression for ex is mainly fictional, and "vampire" isn't a derogatory name for "diet-altering citizen" or such. It is what it is, at least in theory.
From that to the N-word? Dude, you're not even trying to make sense.

I say the word: nigger. Now Obama is a negro, his wife is a gorilla. I wont call Obama a nigger, but I will say he is a negro, or "colored". Reason? He is African decent and his people did nothing (but 12% of the hard labor) to build this nation. No engeneering, now manufacuturing, no factories and industry. His people are 3rd world, so he should be running Kenya, not America.
Now, if useless garbage like McCain wont run and real conservatives will, this will never happen again.
Cali, you're very gracious for explaining the fulltext meaning of the N-word, though I'm not sure there was any real confusion about it even before your knightly intervention. Many thanx nonetheless.
BTW by your logic, Obama would sieze to be "coloured" if Afro Am's had just done enough for the country. Always annoyed me how lazy some ppl become when they are hearded out in the cotton fields at gun point. Not a single slave-owned successsful corporation for 3 centuries, name-calling justified!
grayson is a garbage liberal, with a garbage mouth. He needs to shut it. He just made a comment about a lady fed and called her a whore. No one even respects this clown.
Fire: I agree with you 100%. The "No" mentality is starting to wear thin eveon amongst clearer thinking conservatives.
I'm going to do my part. In a few minutes, I'm going to contact Senator Harry Reid (NV) and Rep Grayson (Fl) and thank them, as well and give them my support.
I'm also going to contact Rep DeGette and Senators Udall & Bennett (Colorado).
You too? I asked some teabaggers on my job about the rally, and they said Obama wanted to kill grandma and he ate lunch with known terrorists and was born in Kenya. Lol.
We went to a "tea bag" rally here in Colorado- Just to check it out. I'd say 90% of the attendees did not know Obama's plan would help them.
When we asked them: "What's the definition of Fascism & Socialism"? they couldn't answer us. We asked them about the 2nd Amendment: They couldn't answer.
We asked them "What's the difference btw the Bill of Rights and the Constitution?: They couldn't answer. I know Canadians who know more about the Constitution than most Americans!
Grayson's Great! He's using the GOP outlandish rhetoric style of politics against them and beating them at their own game. He's no dummy. Saw a CSPAN clip of him making arguments against punitive GOP legislation to strip ACORN of funding dumbfounding Rep. arguments. Keep up the good work!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Alan Grayson is an embarrassment the Democratic movement. If more democrats would speak the truth like Grayson all voting Americans would vote'em out of office and the country could get back to following the founders path set forth in the "Bill of Rights". If it were called the "Bill of Lefts" then Grayson might have a point...
If being an asshole is what it takes to get healthcare passed which the majority of us want, whats wrong with being an asshole? The polite democrats are taking lobby money and negotiating our interests away so that republicans can use it against them in the future. America is sick of wussies. we need assholes when dealing with pigs.
You think the Democrats are any different from the Republicans?
They're bought just the same. Grayson is just that Rogue Rep who hasn't been given the right number, and most likely since the Corporations already have bought off the rest of them.
Then there's the fact that, if you think someone who acts as Immature as the Republicans will be mature enough to know what to give what we want, I want you to put on your thinking cap.
Because we all should know that one lone brat can't do anything.
public option is in bitch! he did somethin cause the weak ass dems like harry reid changed their tune when they saw how popular one house member got. so once again the asshole gets it done.
He also knows that if he does that he is out of every seat he's got. I hope that droopy fuck gets rectal cancer then gets denied coverage and dies a slow painful death.
the difference is grayson hits them with FACTUAL information and not the crazy-ass, out-of-nowhere, bullshit propaganda and outright lies the republicans spew. so he's hardly acting like the republicans. he's simply stepping up and cutting through the clouds of chaos the repubs have created.
he's not fighting fire with fire. he's stating facts and challenging those who mislead and lie. if anything, he's putting out the fire. duh. he's not an asshole if he's telling the truth.
Alan Grayson really needs to have more power in the House than he currently does. We need to do some serious cleaning up in 2010. Him or Anthony Weiner need to replace Nancy Pelosi and Patrick Leahy, Russ Feingold or Al Franken need to replace Harry Reid.

Why do you bother watching TYT if all you will do is flame?
I've seen you make so many hateful troll comments here, but then again, you waste your life on youtube; 43.5k vid views in 6 months. I use youtube too much and have 19k views in 3 years and seven months..
Friction00815, just because you have some fucked up form of a meatball fetish, that doesn't mean you should project such sick, sadist thoughts onto the Turk of The Week award. Just make some meatballs, stick them up your pussy, and go masturbate to Google Images of Dick Cheney. Your random ass insults happen to not be amusing at all.
I think you're mistaken. Friction00815 is heterosexual. He's going to jerk-off to images of Lynn Cheney having a meatball shoved up her ass with a pool cue, while she's sucking off Alan Grayson.
Is it just me or is there something really offensive about ads being shown especially on a political Lib video. I stopped watching TV partly cause of the commercials. Something tells me this forced ads thing is going to backfire.
Do the ads on here make any one else wanna hulk out?
It is not about being bipartisan. It tis about standing up for the people. Bipartisan real definition is both parties taking turns to kick the people in the ass.
Bipartisanship sound great but how can you be bipartisan with most of the republicans of today, unfortunately its just not going to happen. in the end you have to fight fire with fire.
What corporate payoff money? I'd understand if he was anti-reform, since yes, big pharma and insurance definitely pay politicians off, but what corporation would buy off Grayson in order to put itself out of business with a public option?
Nice work. Go for their throats and don't let go. This is the will of the (informed) people versus corporate America. If democracy has any chance, the people have to win.
Hopefully he'll feed on those who are totally bought by the Corps and sling their sorry asses out. With regards to the will of the people, I can't think of a term strong enough for the republicans or blue dogs who are letting US citizens suffer because they can't afford to access decent healthcare.
I'm gonna take all three - in equal measure. I used to wonder what exactly George Carlin used to go on about with his HBO shows - "It's a club - and we ain't in it!" and "they just want us smart enough to do our jobs and no more". I no longer wonder, I know. They "care" more for (their vision of) the country/world than those who actually live in it.
You and Dangerouslytalend are right on. I am now an Independent, but I used to be a right-wing Republican. The people that I hung out with (cocktail parties,etc), had the utmost contempt for the "working class".
When the Neocons took over, and I saw how mean-spirited, ruthless, and blindly nationalistic they were, I said in essence: "I'm outta here"!!
My old 101st Airborne buddy who knows Colin Powell, and knew Goldwater said both men thought the neocons were "arrogant lunatics".
Fire: These people are smart. They know the average American is a dolt. They know that we are entertainment-oriented, lazy, bigoted, and ignorant.
They know that all they have to say is: "Socialism, Communism, and Fascism", and the avg American will fall for their rhetoric, it hook, line, and sinker!
Sounds like the average American has a lot in common with the average Roman, and look what happened there!
What I want to know is, why is the mainstream media backing FauxNews in the war with the White House? I remember Rick Sanchez of CNN calling Fox out for being liars not too long ago, so why the back peddling? If public opinion is being shaped by the Murdoch media so much, then there's another one-sided battle that needs more balance.
Fire: I think the backpeddling is exactly what Grayson alluded to as "bullying". Faux News has the highest viewership of any news organization, coupled with the power of Murdoch may cause everyone to be scared.
Also, Faux News has the blessings of Rush Limbaugh who, next to Howard Stern, is the most powerful voice in radio. This is my theory.
Limbaugh and Faux have got to be in cahoots. I bet they trade ideas for their campaigns of suppositions and lies. It's as if a sizeable chunk of America is scared of one black guy who happens to be in the White House. Now why would they have any legit reason to be scared???
Exactly! You gotta figure Limbaugh makes at least $60 mil a year, Beck, about $30 mil, and O'Reilly, Hannity, and the rest are multimillionaires.
Of course they're gonna raise hell about taxes, so they get avg dumbass Americans who would benefit tremendously from Obama's plan, to hate him because they are non-thinking idiots.
All these assholes went to their stupid little "tea parties", and didn't even realize they were duped....Pitiful.
"Baaah Baaah". Yeah, it's gonna hit them like a runaway train when coverage denied them and their nieghbors can't "help" them.
But again Fire, we're so damn entertainment-concious, lazy, bigoted, and ignorant that Lady Truth is crying out in the streets, and we can't hear, because the t.v. Playstation, or stereo is too loud.
Maybe Lady Truth just needs more of a helping hand? I can't help but notice that the corps have got all these lobbyists and may think that they've got her bound and gagged. It can't be a co-incidence that Obama keeps on refering to the small businesses so much in his speeches? Sounds like he's out to circumvent the power of the corps.
You got a point. We need to keep shoving "The Party of No!" back in their faces and show the Dems that folks with teeth like Grayson can have a mass appeal.
The State is no longer a collective which represents the people,and facilitates them in governing their own lives,but it is an elite,ivory tower primarily concerned with remaining supreme,and landscaping the State Fiefdom according to the masters wishes.
They want us to be assimilated drones in the hive.
This "political envolvement" trip,is an illusion.
It never amounts to anything other than greater State control.
How about an Atheist one, nice try though. Those pieces really looked like they fit together nicely.
What kind of a person pretends to be educated by clicking the very first link on Goggle and instantly jumps to a conclusion? How about an ignorant one. Try doing your research next time.
Gotta come up with or appropriate some music/theme for Turk of the Week methinks. Good work, Mr. Grayson. Glad to see there's some Demos with balls out there.
Grayson is my man crush..The dude is beyond amazing in so many ways. He is the sort of man that gets teenagers like myself thinking about politics because he doesn't speak in some dull ass tone while half mumbling (Harry im talking about you). Nor does he scream about crazy nonsense. (G.O.P i am speaking of course about you.
I've got a political man-crush on Alan Grayson right now. This guy really needs to run for a higher position in 2012. There needs to be some way to have him replace Nancy Pelosi in 2010.
Alan Grayson, Russ Feingold, Al Franken, Patrick Leahy, Anthony Weiner, Barbara Boxer, Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean would be a dream team to behold.

This segment was far too short and Alan Grayson doesn't just deserve a weekly medal, he deserves the Turk of the Month. It's even looking like Alan Grayson will deserve the Turk of the Year at the pace he's is going.
From what i've seen the most deserving turk up until now.
Grayson is really kicking ass atm. Good on him. Hope he keeps up the good work, and is able to avoid the slander the Repubs MUST be planning. That's how they roll.
Alan Grayson on Dick Cheney: "I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes, because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he's talking... But my response is this: He's just angry because the president doesn't shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?"
You are absolutely right!!! I mean what the hell does Biden do anyway? Not that I want him to be as visible and powerful as the Lord Sith Cheney, mind you... LOL.
I would imagine Grayson would be a good co-pilot to get Obama's ass in gear. Stop trying to be their friend, they just hate you, now act like the President damn it!
It's not out of the question. But Biden DOES have some things that he's incredibly good at, particularly foreign policy. Biden was pretty damn good as a Senator, relatively speaking.
Oh, it's nice to see that civil discourse is alive and well here in a public forum, where people listen respectfully to each other's opinion and then debate the issues, point by point, supporting their opinions with facts.
Oh, the Republicans have always been fair, balanced and respectful, including when Dick Cheney told Sen. Patrick Leahy to go F* himself. Very respectful.

Just make some meatballs, stick them up your pussy, and go masturbate to Google Images of Dick Cheney. Your random ass insults happen to not be amusing at all.

I think you're mistaken. Friction00815 is heterosexual. He's going to jerk-off to images of Lynn Cheney having a meatball shoved up her ass with a pool cue, while she's sucking off Alan Grayson.

Off topic of this specific video.
Is it just me or is there something really offensive about ads being shown especially on a political Lib video. I stopped watching TV partly cause of the commercials. Something tells me this forced ads thing is going to backfire.
Do the ads on here make any one else wanna hulk out?

For a change,
I actually agreed with the Cenk.
Alan Grayson is clearly the
Jerk Of The Week.
But,
his tie is cool.
At least he is not afraid to demonstrate that, as a member of the Congress, that he too is "entitled" to his share of corporate payoff money.

What corporate payoff money? I'd understand if he was anti-reform, since yes, big pharma and insurance definitely pay politicians off, but what corporation would buy off Grayson in order to put itself out of business with a public option?

publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago 3
Hopefully he'll feed on those who are totally bought by the Corps and sling their sorry asses out. With regards to the will of the people, I can't think of a term strong enough for the republicans or blue dogs who are letting US citizens suffer because they can't afford to access decent healthcare.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago 2
You know Fire, everyday, I shake my head. I personally think there's only three reasons why they are against the Public Option:
1. They are so ignorant and cold-hearted that they actually think it is "communism/ socialism.
2. They think we (middle & lower class) are scum, and the money should be spent elsewhere or...
3. They're greedy, self-serving assholes who only care about the millions they're getting from lobbyists and insurance companies.
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago 4
Why not all three?
This mindset has been spread amongst certain circles since early in the 20th century.
dangerouslytalented 2 years ago 3
I bet it was around even before then, too. And for the same reasons.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
I'm gonna take all three - in equal measure. I used to wonder what exactly George Carlin used to go on about with his HBO shows - "It's a club - and we ain't in it!" and "they just want us smart enough to do our jobs and no more". I no longer wonder, I know. They "care" more for (their vision of) the country/world than those who actually live in it.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago 2
You and Dangerouslytalend are right on. I am now an Independent, but I used to be a right-wing Republican. The people that I hung out with (cocktail parties,etc), had the utmost contempt for the "working class".
When the Neocons took over, and I saw how mean-spirited, ruthless, and blindly nationalistic they were, I said in essence: "I'm outta here"!!
My old 101st Airborne buddy who knows Colin Powell, and knew Goldwater said both men thought the neocons were "arrogant lunatics".
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago
Yet those who say they want to help the citizenry are just branded "socialists" and the ignorant swallow it, everytime.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
Fire: These people are smart. They know the average American is a dolt. They know that we are entertainment-oriented, lazy, bigoted, and ignorant.
They know that all they have to say is: "Socialism, Communism, and Fascism", and the avg American will fall for their rhetoric, it hook, line, and sinker!
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago
Sounds like the average American has a lot in common with the average Roman, and look what happened there!
What I want to know is, why is the mainstream media backing FauxNews in the war with the White House? I remember Rick Sanchez of CNN calling Fox out for being liars not too long ago, so why the back peddling? If public opinion is being shaped by the Murdoch media so much, then there's another one-sided battle that needs more balance.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
Fire: I think the backpeddling is exactly what Grayson alluded to as "bullying". Faux News has the highest viewership of any news organization, coupled with the power of Murdoch may cause everyone to be scared.
Also, Faux News has the blessings of Rush Limbaugh who, next to Howard Stern, is the most powerful voice in radio. This is my theory.
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago
Limbaugh and Faux have got to be in cahoots. I bet they trade ideas for their campaigns of suppositions and lies. It's as if a sizeable chunk of America is scared of one black guy who happens to be in the White House. Now why would they have any legit reason to be scared???
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
Exactly! You gotta figure Limbaugh makes at least $60 mil a year, Beck, about $30 mil, and O'Reilly, Hannity, and the rest are multimillionaires.
Of course they're gonna raise hell about taxes, so they get avg dumbass Americans who would benefit tremendously from Obama's plan, to hate him because they are non-thinking idiots.
All these assholes went to their stupid little "tea parties", and didn't even realize they were duped....Pitiful.
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago
What would it take to change them? One of their nearest and dearest suddenly getting so sick that they're refused cover?
It sickens me to see so many US citizens being duped by these evil, manipulative self-centred a-holes.
In the meantime, I guess US exports in wool are booming - given all those sheep.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
"Baaah Baaah". Yeah, it's gonna hit them like a runaway train when coverage denied them and their nieghbors can't "help" them.
But again Fire, we're so damn entertainment-concious, lazy, bigoted, and ignorant that Lady Truth is crying out in the streets, and we can't hear, because the t.v. Playstation, or stereo is too loud.
publicatdamagnificen 2 years ago
Maybe Lady Truth just needs more of a helping hand? I can't help but notice that the corps have got all these lobbyists and may think that they've got her bound and gagged. It can't be a co-incidence that Obama keeps on refering to the small businesses so much in his speeches? Sounds like he's out to circumvent the power of the corps.
BigMrFirebird 2 years ago
If you look at progressive movements in the 20th century, they were all opposed because of ignorant backwards thinking:
1. Aviation: "If God wanted us to fly, he would've given us wings"
2.Unions: "They're communists"
3. Civil Rights: "Communist inspired"
4.Women's Vote: "Communist inspired"
5. Social Security & Medicare: "Communist inspired"
6.Veterans Admin: "Unnecessary"
7. Interstate Highways: "Communist inspired".
THE LIST IS ENDLESS!!!

Thats right Buddy.
Its called State supremacy.
The State is no longer a collective which represents the people,and facilitates them in governing their own lives,but it is an elite,ivory tower primarily concerned with remaining supreme,and landscaping the State Fiefdom according to the masters wishes.
They want us to be assimilated drones in the hive.
This "political envolvement" trip,is an illusion.
It never amounts to anything other than greater State control.

Who chooses which stories are "News",and how they are presented?
The whole format,and illusion of the "News" being an update on "daily events" is absurd,because it is not comprehensive.
The selection procces of what stories are told,is responsible for everything we are "informed" about.
We know,what they tell us to know.
