Roland Burris Heads to Washington and an Uncertain Future

[obamaayers]

WHAT A JOKE. Illinois gets what it deserves by voting clowns like this into office. And Burris shows his integrity by accepting the appointment from a corrupt raging nut job in the first place.

[dgreen002]

dis ol black man got mobbed yo

[MIKESOWELL]

Chitownbound YOU IGNORANT MILITANT FUCK STOP BLAMING BLACK STRUGGLES ON THE WHITE MAN. IT IS US. We have an American of African descent about to become our 44th President, and you're bloviating about some 3 year old fringe Internet crap about the Government killing blacks in New Orleans. We are doing that our damned selves! OPEN YOUR EYES!

[mre2u2]

Dis guy shure sounz schmart - NOT! Good choice, blogo

[ChrisArlingtonVA]

This has nothing to with race. Republicans ALWAYS bring up the race card, in fact they are OBSESSED with race and talk about race constantly. Why is this? Republicans must be suffering from 'white guilt' due to their Southern conservative slavery/Jim Crowe past.

[anna1111777]

Guys, please you must watch it before that you judges us! go to yotube search for - Pallywood

[agnesmoorhead]

Poor President- Elect Obama. Blago and Roland Burris (probably one of the few honest politicians who served the people of Illinois) are stealing Obama's thunder just days before his historic inauguration. Obama's daughter got more press coverage going to school than their Daddy did.

[RandomHero1971]

Funny that he said that anyone appointed by the IL governor wasn't valid. Now that he is appointed...guess its all ok huh? Typical.

[ThirstyEye]

"Is it serving your ego...?" Ha ha ha! Whoever that reporter is, she rules for asking that question.

[gsadler82]

he seems like a really good guy, it's sad that he's stuck in this crapola.

[MixmasterFizzle]

he needs to get his stupid black ass out of the political arena. No black senators allowed! they are dumb as rocks

[MYBOSS2009]

Roland Burris is a silly fucker for even going to Washinton,d.c,lol.

[edklemm]

Another damn good reason I thank God I always vote straight Republican! Pure, 100% brainless Democrat.

[barques95]

Another humble dude referring to himself in the third person.

[FoxFire45]

This man is hilarious...seat him immediately!

[chitownbound]

he sure got a chuckle outta me.

[AntiMarxist4life]

which means, they were for slavery.

[stme2008]

sorry short words mostly was saying For some reason he lost senate race alot why? just wondering why did he loose so much wasnt his race becuase obama won so why did he loose all his other times running for sanate he is certainly experienced more than kenedy & frankin but why did the people not vote for him several times is the question & I think it is sad the people of the state of IL dont have a say is all when they have spoke in the past & sad they are deeling with this ** of a gov.

[TAMARLANE]

Illinois is becoming a joke. Politics in Chicago especially, have been revealed to be criminal in nature. "You pat my back, and I'll pat yours". "Pay to play".

[TAMARLANE]

All I was saying was: Sit back and enjoy the show. As we sink into the Abyss, there will be plenty of chuckles along the way. Burris. chuckle. Pelosi. chuckle. Franken. chuckle. Blagoyevich. chuckle. 41 republicans in the senate. chuckle. Pinetta. chuckle. Cheney fficiating at the swearing in ceremony for the new Senate. chuckle. I hope, and will support Obama. I hope beyond hope that he is a successful President. More on his plate even than Bush had on his.

[TAMARLANE]

But how is he going to do it with all these totally lame democrats advising him?

I heard a rumor that a large body of the CIA and the FBI are considering resignation in answer to the new Obama choices.

If I were CIA, I would most certainly resign. Today.

[AntiMarxist4life]

Chitownbound has a good point, i have been censored as well. Tamarlane? so now, asides from what we already do know, what point is it again that you are trying to make?

[TAMARLANE]

Twice I have written what I will write again.

I wish I weren't so wordy sometimes, but it is the only way I can make a point.

[TAMARLANE]

I give up. Can't post more than 20 words here without censorship.

[chitownbound]

it all depends on what you say,your not the only one they block a lot of my comments too on other videos.

[TAMARLANE]

Testing. Have I been censored here?

[chitownbound]

3dartistguy,i have to agree with you,he did make a complete ass outta himself.i guess he was stupid enough to believe things actually "changed"lol!

[AntiMarxist4life]

But what do I know?! I am just some stupid fucking cracker to you....

[chitownbound]

LOL!ok,i got your sarcasm,that was funny though i must admit.when you hear me say cracker im not talkin about whites in general,im talking about the "my shit dont stink","im always right",and the ones that base all of thier beliefs on sterotypes.theres also a difference between blacks and niggers to.the difference is they play the game crackers want them too and have an inferior slave mentality mindset and too fuckin dumb to realize it.

[chitownbound]

EXAMPLE:roland burris!

[AntiMarxist4life]

Your point is well taken

[AntiMarxist4life]

But for the Record, Burris is more qualified to be in the senate than most of the dipshits at the white house.

[AntiMarxist4life]

Thank you for speaking the truth 3dartistguy!!!

[laxman522]

I am republican and i say LET BURRIS INTO THE SENATE AND SWEAR HIM IN!!!!

[AntiMarxist4life]

FUCK RACISM AND FUCK THE DEMOCRATS

[chitownbound]

ok now,dont act like the republicans aint racist either.

[AntiMarxist4life]

I am not saying that republicans are not racist, but you should look at the Democrats through they eyes of a skeptic, They have been very much racist from their history. The southern Democrats were in the KKK, But you do not hear about this because they do not want people to know the truth. They have always walked on the backs of the oppressed, for that has always been their way. They cry crocodile tears and claim discrimination, & yet they continue to oppress. Think about it...

[chitownbound]

you dont have to tell me to think about it cus im not nieve.what you told me didnt surprise me 1 bit but i really dont have my full trust in any politcians period(EVEN OBAMA).anybody smart would know that obama is just a puppet for them(just like any other president).i think the "president(s)" are only for public appearances and the person or people really in charge just tell them what to do.i may be wrong,but then again i maybe right...

[AntiMarxist4life]

The Democrats are showing their true, racist colors. They have and always be a racist party since the day they were founded by the confederacy back in the mid 1800's. The Democrats, denying this man the senate seat just goes to show at how much these Rabid Democrats are foaming at the mouth. They are rabid dogs that need to be shot.

[chitownbound]

i know most of you fuckin honkeys were just still pissed off about obama and just happy to see a blackman denied the senate seat. but regardless,even if he was white i think he wouldve still been denied that seat,they just had a legit reason to keep him out of the senate so it wouldnt APPEAR that race was an issue.

[RTD8481]

Im glad they turned away that sellout Burris. He has no business going there in the first place. The people of Illinois should decide who goes to Washington. Hold a special election. This entire administration is joke! What a transition huh? Its a joke! To the Democraps, that what you get for electing Obama!

[CheObama]

Hey Dems! Hows that swearing in ceremony going?

Nothing like a smooth transition, huh?

AHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA­AAAAAAAAA!

[elvisscott1968]

Burris gave Gov Rod 1 million in cash for that seat,, lets see how fast the feds can find this!!!!!

[outnleftfield]

he donated,by proxy maybe but it's out there he donated around 15 grand ,in many different ways! not exactly illegal is it? what mil do you speak of?

[RockyBalboa211]

Burris is such an awesome guy, hope he can be senator! God bless him!

[njattack]

Burris is NO senator. The people of Illinois did NOT elect him. A corrupt, slavic foreign did, Blagoslav.

Burris will not be recognized. When he is called he will be called Mr. Burris, not senator Burris.

GO BACK TO ILLINOIS BURRIS.

[deltheatheist]

im not a racist but race should have nothing to do with politics big deal if there isn't any black senate members people should be in office for ideas and not the color of there skin thats how obama won

[911sheeple]

Maybe the TMZ jews and Goldman can setup this black man too so he will be getting his stuff back like OJ, then setup to go to jail so some Jewboy can get senate seat. Just look WHO is fighting so hard for this seat. With so many in Washington having their loyalTies tied to isreal, you know they want this senate seat. The Jewish Chicago Mob is alive and well and fighting for Kosher meat in all Chicagos public schools cafeterias.

[bobbytiger]

As I see it..............

The Governor has legally appointed Mr. Burris to fill the Senate seat.

What Harry Reid or Pelosi thinks really doesn't matter. But.............

I guess we will find out today (01.06.09).

Having said that.........

As a Conservative, I'm having a blast as to what is happening to the liberal party.

Let the games begin. Yahoo.

[outnleftfield]

they are kinda falling right into it huh? lol sad but true, it's not partisan though, no it's social, this is who we have become. there are some great people rolling over in their graves over what we have done with their great works!!

[mymanjay]

Watching politics is funny these days. This is a scandal that really gets to me. Jesse Jacksons son was robbed here because he was ousted of the senate seat as a indirect result of a scandal thathe had nothing to do with. Listen people Barack Obama lost to Burris twice in Illinois politics in races so by right he cant be that bad. I think that in 2010 he would win again.

[patsagainstrats]

Another spotlight-seeking, race-hustling, Black politican from the corrupt state of Illinois.

Luckily, we have the staunch segregationist Harry "Bull" Reid(D-NV) in the Senate to hose this uppity colored boy back into the street when he arrives. :)

[nirbija]

Is the duly selected Burris seeking to crash a klu klux klan party?

Attorney General, Burris, should be careful that he's not lynched, trying to enter the klan party in the US Senate! lol

Racist Harry Reid from a racist state(?) is seeking to imply that Illinoisans are too bigoted to elect Burris in 2010.

Yet it is Illinoisans who elected two African American Senators and sent an African American to the White House!

Racist Reid belongs to the klinton klan, on Americans won't elect Black Prez

[traze28]

Persistent social, economic and political issues for many African Americans include inadequate health care access and delivery; institutional racism and discrimination in housing, education, policing, criminal justice and employment; crime, poverty and substance abuse. One of the most serious and long standing issues within African-American communities is poverty.

[traze28]

However,due in part to the legacy of slavery, racism and discrimination, African Americans as a group remain at a pronounced economic, educational and social disadvantage in many areas relative to European Americans.

[traze28]

I watched it again and all I have to say is why does he have to be black?

I'm ashamed :)

[nirbija]

The character of Illinoisans is being besmirched by Harry Racist Reid, in implying that Il will not elect a Black Senator!

Senator Burris is being treated by the white US Senate clubites as if he was trying to crash a kkk party?

You go, Senator Burris!

Crash the US Senate kkk party. lol

Blago is the duly elected Govnor of Illinois.

He has not has his day in court.

Burris is a LAWYER and a former Illinois ATTORNEY GENERAL!

Burris is OVER QUALIFIED, more qualified than man in the US Senate!

[MeLikeGoFast]

Your blatent double standards are sickening.

[traze28]

I understand your point GoFast.

I know this sounds like complaining but it's the truth.

African Americans have improved their social and economic standing significantly since the Civil Rights Movement and recent decades have witnessed the expansion of a robust, African-American middle class across the United States.

[MeLikeGoFast]

Its funny how the people who cry racism all the time are the ones who try to use race to control everything.

Barack Obama is president.... there is no need for affirmative action or race to be considered in anything anymore.

PEOPLE NEED TO GET OVER IT!

[traze28]

I don't agree there are certain things that are still needed.. but that's another argument in which I respect your opinion.

However I'm black and I hope the Senate reject Burris' black ass!

He and Son-of-a-bitch I mean Blagojevich are the only ones who don't get it. . .

It's like letting Bernard Madoff name the head of the FDIC. . WTF is going on in Washington?

[MeLikeGoFast]

What is needed? If the whole arguement for affirmative action is that people of color arent allowed positions, and the highest position in the land is occupied by a person of color, what is it needed for?

I think that unless people let go of affirmative action racism will never go away.

[nirbija]

Ha ha!

So African Americans are now blamed for 300+ years of white racism in America?

Just be quiet and the centuries of white racism will magically go away, right? lol

Racism will not go away; because the white Americans who harbor the disease of racism in their evil hearts and ignorant minds for generations just won't go away.

Lawyer and former Attorney General, Burris, is not trying to crash a US Senate klu klux klan party! Or is he? lol

[MeLikeGoFast]

Racism will not go away because people like Rev. Sharpton and Jesse jackson keep a divide amongst people.

They do that because without racism, theyre out of a job,.

[nirbija]

Right!

Sharpton and Jackson introduced and sustain racism in America for almost 400 years.

One of the defining quality of racism is ignorance. Obviously you posses that quality in abundance if you really think that African Americans have ever been responsible for racism in America.

Racism is specifically a european mental disease, which is born of Ignorance & Ill Will!

Without European ignorance and ill will, there would be no racism on the planet, EVER!

And racism IS sustained by europeans!

[TAMARLANE]

Sounds like a huge judgement call you are making here. Sounds like discrimination writ large.

Sounds like you are a racist.

[nirbija]

Unlike you, we don't make 'judgment calls'.

Instead, we look at the overabundance of evidence of their historical beast behaviors with respect to humans, and then make the most logically conclusion that, 'racism IS of Europeans!'

It is the wicked European mindset that latches onto the NATURAL DIFFERENCES among human forms, and then devilishly decided to make a negative of those NATURAL DIFFERENCES!

No other people on Earth had done that before the Europeans started ravaging the planet

[GreatSatan1]

Unscientific and childish though your mental miasma is, it seems you have but one course to follow.

You must kill all those White Devils. ALL of them. Maybe use some voodoo with chicken blood and pins and dolls and shit.

[nirbija]

'Kill all'?

That is the cry of the beastly; and that is why they have slaughtered more humans on the planet (with their wicked and witless world wars) than any other race of people have, even in their wildest nightmares.

The wise leave the killing to mindless fools, who can't recognize that 'what goes around, do come back around'. kill and in time be killed.

[GreatSatan1]

Methinks you been googling sex and bestiality too much there dude.

I will say a prayer for you though.

Alaikum salaam.

[nirbija]

The retort to your so-called 'buxon blond' was too on target, eh? lol

To be effectively educated is to know and appreciate that all kinds of stuff are done by all kinds of people in our world.

Hence, I make it a part of my business to be aware and understand the different kinds of activities of BOTH friends and foes!

[TAMARLANE]

True wisdom is when you finally realize that you don't know anything at all, for SURE.

Too soon old, too late smart.

[nirbija]

Tamarlane, you are stating 'false wisdom', the kind that one would get from a mis-educational system.

YOU may not know anything 'for sure', which is obviously true FOR YOU!

But don't use your mis-educational state to pass judgment on others, who can display, and do display, the ability to know your 'true wisdom' FOR SURE!

The thinking is so juvenile. For if one cannot know anything for sure, then how can you be 'sure' that your statement is correct, 'for sure'?

[TAMARLANE]

I don't know.

Once I thought I was indecisive, but now, I'm not so sure.

[nirbija]

What happens in YOUR mind does not necessarily happen in the mind of others, who can and do know things, 'for sure'!

Knowledge and ignorance are 'for sure' meaningful concepts.  They are not mere 'words'.

Some minds do have knowledge, 'for sure'; and some minds are filled with ignorance, 'for sure'!

[TAMARLANE]

Read a little Nietze, read a little Louis Carrol. Read about rationation, about zazen and then get back to me.

Are you a butterfly dreaming you are a man?

Or a man dreaming you are a butterfly dreaming you are a man?

[nirbija]

Uh?

Why would I want to do that?

Especially if those writers are the ones responsible for your misapprehension of reality, I most definitely should not be wasting time reading them.

Someone has to be the grounded adult here. lol

[TAMARLANE]

I thought you might show some knowledge and correct my spelling or something. It should be Lewis not Louis.

What have we in common? Not much, I fear. What books do you read? Where do you get your information to help you form your opinions?

Have you ever changed your mind about anything?

"A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."

"Two men looked out from prison bars, one saw the mud, the other, the stars."

[nirbija]

"Show knowledge by correct misspelling"? lol

Are you serious; I consider that sophomoric?

I don't bother much about other people's spelling. I'm more interested in what posters mean to write; & that I can gleam from context

I know your writers; but I don't waste time reading other people's fiction, when I can make my own if I wish. lol

There are Natural Laws governing ALL actions, including human behavior

Strive to know those; & forget about 'opinions'; because even fools have some of those

[TAMARLANE]

There are Natural Laws governing ALL actions, including human behavior

Tell me about these. Or tell me about ONE of these natural laws. Or stfu.

[nirbija]

Now it might be too late for you. Your parents should have started you out right; but they failed we see.

[TAMARLANE]

There are Natural Laws governing ALL actions, including human behavior

Tell me about these. Or tell me about ONE of these natural laws. Or STFU.

[TAMARLANE]

Not that it matters really. But, it is Nietzche and it is Carroll. I misspelled everything to see if you were a man of letters. I don't think this will go anywhere, you and I discussing nothing for no reason. Just an example of wasting time on Youtube.

[GreatSatan1]

Come on, admit it. What you want is one of those gorgeous blond haired blue eyed buxom white wenches.One of those with the full voluptuous lips and the curvy shape and the big bosoms.

[nirbija]

Your so-called 'gorgeous, blue-eyed and buxom white wenches' are a dime a dozen.

Google 'sex' and see for yourself. lol

In fact, your white wenches are so 'available' that even the dogs and other lowly creatures can have them for nada.

Google 'bestiality' and see for yourself. lol

I think that The Mothers of Mankind are more dignified myself.

[joeblakk07]

That's just silly. To say that racism is a european mental disease discredits racism in other countries throughout the world. Racism was around before the Europeans landed in North America and started importing slaves.

Know your history before you start raving about the Europeans being the only cause for racism ever on this earth.

I credit you for 'born of ignorance & ill will' but let us not make Europeans the only cause and sustainers of racism. That is an ignorant statement to make.

[AntiMarxist4life]

THANK YOU!!! Great bit of information about racism Joeblakk07! Keep posting the truth!

[chitownbound]

who do you think started the caste system?

[AntiMarxist4life]

all political blocs in this world had been using this system as a form of control of the people.. All races used this system, India uses it, China uses it, United States uses it, etc etc. It is not right, I will attest to that, but to blame "crackers" alone for its existence is not the correct way to go about it when it comes down to providing its history and to whom who have promoted it.

[chitownbound]

true

[nirbija]

Actually you are besmirching people in your IMAGINED 'other countries' (outside of Europe) who historically HAVE NOT demonstrated themselves to be racists

Again, racism is a European mental disease.

In fact, the whole concept of race & racism are of evil European creation

People have always been physically different according to their place of origin on the planet

However, it IS the ignorant and evil European mindset that insist on harboring a negative over human NATURAL physical differences!

[MeLikeGoFast]

I didnt say sharpton and jackson introduced racism...they perpetuate it.

GOod god your dumb.

[chitownbound]

your funny."barack obama is president"LOL!him being president dont mean a damn thing so quit tryin to act like racism is a thing of the past.explain why the federal gov and the louisiana state gov hired the blackwater mercenaries to secretly kill off the remaining black population in new orleans(their also famous for killing civilans in iraq and afganistan.obama is some 1/2breed they used to decieve blacks into thinking change is here,just like the blackwater mercs did in iraq turing....

[MeLikeGoFast]

Affirmative action is bullshit. If people want to get over racism they need to ditch the victim mentality.

Obama proves that there is no SYSTEMATIC racism.

GET OVER IT!

[chitownbound]

lol!thats also funny,you need to be a comedian!

[chitownbound]

...muslims against each other(posing as shites) when they were the ones really doing the killing.and explain why there are no blacks in the us senate.obama is just a diversion to cover up their lies and future conspiricies so blacks cant cry racism.

[mathom78]

Epic crackpot.

[CmdrUK]

racist crackas'

[Noz4ah2]

Burris is a corrupt scumbag that paid for that seat one way or another. I'm glad the reporters gave his ass a hard time and I hope like hell they don't seat him. He's a problem the democrats don't need right now and the sooner they get him out of the Senate and back with his lobbying firm greasing palms the better off we all are. Actually, we'd like it if he stopped greasing palms too, but one can only hope for so much. "I don't know if we had that much money to give to Blago.."=load of shit

[silversalvo]

That guy is awesome!

Man ...i hate mainstream media!

[phillydawg]

I am the magic man

[SYNICtheAtheist]

Wow talk about pimp slapping the press.

[katey1dog]

The journalists are really going after him. I like that.

[squidb8]

yup, he does kind of make them look stupid. They're trying to get a rise out of him, like the good poparazzi they are, but he doesn't take the bait. He just repeats what he's said at the beginning of the interview like they were idiot children

[TECHKLEC]

He ran for Governor of Illinois twice, Mayor of Chicago once and lost each time. At 71, with not too much public support for an administrative government position, he seems washed up.

[Stoby82]

They should refuse to appoint him based solely on the fact that he's too stupid understand why there might be controversy caused by this appointment.

[letherden]

its not that he doesn't understand. he's refusing to accept the irrational and unlawful arguments presented by that mindless media mob. he certainly doesn't look stupid to me!

[vertigate]

"Does it serve your ego at all?" LOL This is really getting silly now. Stupid questions.

[Mentallyawake568]

I would take a senate seat for that nice new salary. These reporters are fags.

[achampag]

lol he pwned them a lil..."keeps you working" haha!

[Cridran]

It's funny how Burris just makes fun of the newsreporters

[gigantibyte]

Yes. I love his answers.

[achampag]

oh man is this still going on?

[hockey2333]

good guy...bad situation...he is pretty stupid for saying yes to the job.

[y2raza]

Burris is acting like a child, he knows too well that his selection to the US senate will certainly cost the Dems the seat in 2 yrs, & the Dems are in a bind too bcz if they call for a special election A)a republican wins & reduces the senate margin for Dems & B) it erodes the political capital Obama has when he steps into the office if & if the Dems lose the seat special eletcion!

[Cridran]

news I ment :p

[Cridran]

Gotta love TMPTV. Best quick notes ever!

[KataVideo]

There's no law preventing this, and all the law he needs for this to be completely legal. why are the dems wasting time on opposing one of their own, while the gops are gearing up to block legally-elected minnesota senator Al Franken? what the hell is wrong with harry reid?

[deshonlive]

1st.
