  • Clinton is a great politician, he is so masterful at this game

  • Clinton is a horrible human being, worse than Bush.

  • @redryan20000 Bush lied us into war, weakened our economy from hundred billion surplus to a hundred billion deficit, and committed war crimes by letting torture slide. Clinton had his dick sucked by secretaries and played politics when it involved his paycheck like every politician in the history of the country. Not necessarily what I'd call 'worse'.

  • @MrHoppybunny you so easily forget everything else he did. do some research on the time Clinton personally ordered cruise missiles to be fired at a pharmaceutical plant in Khartoom the very same day Lewinski went to the grand jury. They said he made the mistake of hitting it because he was in a rush. I don't think Bush could've made the intellectual realization that Iraq was a lie. We all know he wasnt too bright, and in reality it was cheney/powell who lied the US into war.

  • @redryan20000 Sure Bush was a marionette, a perfect one because he agreed with everything Cheney wanted to do obviously. Thus, making him also a horrible person. And yeah Clinton pulled that Sudan crap during the trial and he also failed to capture Bin Laden on 2 occasions. These things don't make him worse than the man + team that drove our country to shit in 8 years. At least there was an economic surplus during Clinton. I'm just saying he's deff not worse. There's a reason Bush shuts up now..

  • This is the stupidest thing the TYT have done. There usually pretty smart but come on your getting way too deep into something. He never said it was racial politics there trying to make it a racial, when the guy was just playing the game to support his wife.

  • cenk... you rule... totally unrelated though.... the back drop is crooked... maybe you know and dont care, but if you dont and do... take out that leveler ;) seriously.... its killing me. .. ... but you totally rule. ;)

  • Clinton never said he used 'race politics'.

    Cenk, yet again lies.

  • @MeritisDE Cenk never said he did say that.  Cenk is just reading between the lines.

  • I respect Clinton more then ever now. I never realized back then how much good he did for our country. We need a president that nows how to play the game and attract foreign investors. This is a pretty ignorant program. Correct answers are never simple.

  • So you think it is acceptable to impose sanctions on a dirt poor country, that result in over a million deaths?

  • i used to look up to the clintons, but they are being played like fools just like the rest of us. and this attitude the host talks about is partly how they, and we, are being controlled. i like this program. i am going to search and see if you have done anything on 9-11. will you let me down or rise like a true american eagle. with its wings intact. and not clipped by these fucked up permiations.

  • ††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††­†††††††††††††††††

  • Why you so serious? It's politics...

  • the guy on this video missed the point. clinton was not referring to political games HE was playing, but games allegedly played by the obama organization.

  • Are you sure you understood the guy's message?

    great video, 5 out of 5

  • Three days before MLK day and the SC primaries, Hillary says about MLK, "It takes a president." Bill falls asleep on a preacher's stage during an MLK speech. Then Bill compared Obama to Jesse Jackson.

    The plan was to marginalize Obama as the "black" guy that only has limited appeal.. It might've worked if Kennedy hadn't endorsed Obama the day after the "Jackson" comments.

    What hurt me the most is that Hillary didn't even fight for the black vote. Just gave us away like free lunch.

  • God you have spoken The TRUTH with that comment enviops!

  • Its sociopathic behavoir, the ability to divorce humanity from your actions. Just shrug and say its 'business' 'politics' 'war' whatever. I dont think Obama is like that, not thats he's not willing to attack those who attack him. As the whole Rush Limbaugh/Republican tie up shows.

  • come on. everyone is like that. Obama probably did it on some level too. But the great thing about Clinton is that he was smart enough and truly cared about America enough to jump behind Obama after enough time had passed.

  • neither of them care about america

  • No he's just the opposite. He's a hippie and a pinko. That's not always a good thing.

  • Obama and Clinton are both sociopaths, that is if they knew what they were doing.

  • That statement doesn't make any sense, paganiniGOGO.

  • What I meant is they WOULD be sociopaths if they knew exactly what the consequences of their decisions were and are.

    The sanctions imposed on Iraq during the 90's by Clinton caused about 600 000 children to starve to death; the Clinton administration also supported the ethnic cleansing of Kurds in Turkey; that exhibits a "a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others," which is the DSM definition of ASPD.

  • Sorry let me be more clear, your logic doesn't make any sense.

  • how so? Causing six hundred thousand children to starve to death isn't sociopathy?

    You keep telling me my logic doesn't make sense while not explaining why not.

    If you want to be more clear - be more clear. Idiot.

  • LOL. You're not clear, because causing six hundred thousand children to starve to death is not what makes you a sociopath. Clinton did not cause 600,000 children to starve to death. You could make the claim that our government has been responsible for many deaths, or even that politicians tend to be sociopaths, but to pick from the sky a random number and attribute that to one person is sensationalism, albeit wrong.

  • The Clinton adminstration enforced sanctions on Iraq which killed 567 000 (not a random number) children, and strengthened Saddam Hossein, saving him from the fate of U.S. supported dictators such as Ceausescu.

    The sanctions were condemned as genocidal by the administrators, who resigned in protest.

    The Clinton administration also bombed one of the only Sudanese pharmaceutical plants, which could have resulted in thousands of deaths. And we could go on...

    It's hard to get more clear than that.

  • @paganiniGOGO Im sorry, but we need a president that will look out for Americans first. We are not responsible for the food of any non American children. Obama is working very hard on behalf of non Americans, and look where its gotten us. Broke, bleeding, and in the dirt. We need a change.

  • @duncan36 "I dont think Obama is like that"

    He's a nigger

  • I feel sorry for Cenk´s wife, if he has one, cause imagine live with someone who has a fucking opinion about every little detail, who cares too much about fucking ethics, rules and behavior, if she leaves one dish uncleaned, he would talk so much she would go dizzy.And he´s the kind of guy you can´t discuss, only his opinion is the right opinion, and we know in life almost nothing is 100% sure, he can´t debate.

  • now all we need is for someone like Gamma Omicron Pi, or Geriatric Order of Pussies to sue the Rupublicans to change their name...just like WWF

  • this might be the BEST young turks vid ever , easily the best comments made by cenk

  • Part of the problem is the public's willingness to treat elections like a game, so the networks, being a business, serve it up like one. People need to get it through their heads that this isn't reality TV, it's actually reality, and the decisions that your elected REPRESENTATIVES make affect you.

    Treat it all like a game of survivor and one of the guys you're watching back stab each other's gonna end up with all the $ in the end. (and you won't be getting any of it despite paying for the show)

  • "All of television is WWE"

    Yes, Cenk. That's how it works. Finally you understand.

  • Change the title guys!

    Cenk misread the clip. Dave Koller knows what's up.

    Your loyal viewers are waiting with baited breath.

  • Just like when Bush and Rove started the rumor that John McCain's daughter from Bangladesh, Bridget was his illegitimate black daughter in Southern states. It cost him an election. They push polled using the phone and would ask, "If you knew that John McCain had a child out of wedlock who was black, would you vote for him?" They didn't come right out and say it was true. Race is always a big issue in some states. To complain about getting caught at it, is ridiculous.

  • Well, his wife lost, so we can just say, WE DID TAKE IT SERIOUS SO NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD TOO.

  • I say this in almost every TYT video. Dems, Repubs, it's all WWE. There all puppets including Obama. Presidents are selected NOT elected. One minute The Rock is a Hell (bad guy) then next month hes a face (good guy). Corporations, Vatican, Zionist (key word) are all puppets from the NWO. Religion is a game and so is politics. People better all start realizing what this video is REALLY about.

  • It's all potlics or what I like to call "poliTRICKS".

    It's like every other country in the world knows about the Illumanati and who really control this government EXCEPT AMERICANS LOL. Are we this naive even when the facts are RIGHT IN OUR FACES, even when the facts are RIGHT THERE FOR US TO RESEARCH ON OUR OWN? People need to stop listening to mainstream media. They do a great job of herding the sheeple. People don't want to know because they just feel comfortable not knowing.

    Sad.

  • the clintons and the obamas are rainbow glasses liberal FREAKS and should have been put out to pasture long ago.

    You'll be sorry, America.

  • dubdub911 (9 hours ago)lol

    sadam has never has been a threat to us. if anytthing he helped by keeping iran inline. and osama is still alive and bush had 7 years to get him......

    "sadam" directly threatened the US and faggot bill richardson VISITED him and sucked up to him. SADDAM kept his country INLINE by SLAUGHTERING OFF ANYBODY ANYTIME. Correct about bush and osama. too much diplomacy, he could have been and still can be, taken out. but Unc Sam's become a limp wrister!

  • Ever play the game Diplomacy?

  • clinton was the first black president

    not obama

  • i never thought that either clintons were racist, but the people that vote are sometimes racist and they counted on that putting hillary in the white house.

  • The Clintons are political scumbags. Who didn't already know this? You have to be pretty ignorant not to already know this. They only believe in political opportunism and nothing else. Just politics as usual. Fucking scumbag losers, the Clintons and their followers.

  • Mr. Obama, a balanced budget would be actual change, and I hope you do bring the spending under control like Bill Clinton did, or Ron Paul would. Obama says he will focus on closing the national debt gap, I hope this is true! so far both parties are the same (Republicans and Democrats) in that both want to increase spending for benefit of their own partisan interests. Please bring real change and a balanced budget! The longer the national deficit is ignored and expands, harder it will hit us.

  • ron paul would destroy this country. more de-regulation and less government intervention is the opposite of what we need right now. ron paul obviously doesn't realize what's been going on for the past 8 years. he's clueless.

  • No, you are the clueless one. You typically over-simplify Paul's position-a problem simple people have. He realizes EXACTLY what's been going on, maybe more so than anyone in congress. Let's see how this wave of capricious government intervention is going to affect the dollar.

    Our government is not the solution-it's the problem.

  • @normalais are u fucking stupid ? Ron Paul wants free markets and end to the fed

    this crises was causes by the fed and the Bankers working with Democrats and Republicans !

    less govt intervention in business but strong regulation

  • "did we use racial politics, yeah of course we did".... That's not what Bill Clinton was talking about. Perhaps he was implying that people are more focused on candidates and attack each other's potential weaknesses when they are in a race against each other, but are on the same party after elections, and for the most part are on the same page.

  • in other words "nothing personal"

  • I guess it's "admirable?" to hear a politician admit that politicians would sell their souls for a vote? Better than someone trying to convince us that they stick only to their morals.

    Does it make it less scummy? No. It's just more proof that politics are skewed when they admit "this is what you people fall for, so we do it!"

  • Comparing politics to professional wrestling is a very accurate analogy.

    And its funny how the same people who think wrestling is real have the same naive view about politics in America

  • What is the point of keeping your office if you don't do what you think is right? Sure the Dems held their seats but they didn't do the things they wanted to do.

  • So I suppose Faux is okay to listen to cause we know they are "playing politics"?

  • yep...its all WWE.

  • this is bill clinton. the man who did more to weaken and humiliate america than any president before him.

    clinton further opened the borders, helped make crime "a mental illness" and protected americas enemies. played games with saddam and obama instead ot TAKING THEM OUT. They threaten america, clinton uses "diplomacy." but dont worry liberal ASSHOLES, your BOY obama is gonna make americas national "security" even more of a JOKE and plunge you into severe financial depression

  • Umm no actually America was at its strongest point in the late nineties. In fact, at the turn of the century America was the most respected nation.

  • I went to the Clinton Library and found the adult video section. Barry White music payed each time I approached it.

  • Calm down, Chicken Little. Your memory is bad and your partisan-o-meter is off the charts.

  • lol

    sadam has never has been a threat to us. if anytthing he helped by keeping iran inline.

    and osama is still alive and bush had 7 years to get him

  • Love all the wrestling analogies in this video. RVD ftw!

  • nice last line

  • I don't understand how people say things like we can't look back on our past and reflect. I mean we have habits that make us rush, worry, go to fast and become unstable. We let let people play games with our brains. Realistically we should be able to turn to people and be able to trust them. If we can't look back on our past we have a more difficult time correcting mistakes. People need to slow down and breath.

  • Already Hillary has herself over in China stirring things up. OMG! The thing that is so scary about these two, is that it isn't just a political thing with these two. It's an ego thing, a celebrity thing. A desire to be seen and heard and be a big deal. It's the reason they have stayed together in the first place. Otherwise, they would have shut up and gone away a long time ago. As well they should!

  • Since Obama has been elected our President, I have seen Bill Clinton on the news 10 times more than I have President Obama. I was sick of him when he was president. I certainly don't want to hear from him now! Step aside. You had your chance. And you blew it! You proved yourself to be a fake, immoral ass. I was embarrassed that you were our President.

    And the fact that Hillary is now our Secretary of State - soooo frightening! I have to believe that Obama truly had no choice in this decision!

  • I wish this stupid motherfucker " clinton " would just fall of the face of the Earth and take Al Gore with him...Fuckin posers....Wait a minute, I almost forgot that Obama needs to do the same..Another fuckin poser..

  • Yeah, but people on YouTube that cant do anything but complain, they're real, right? Zipperhead! Now to stay on topic about the video, Clinton has been asked this several times including after he made a speech "for" Obama, he wasn't going to campaign against his wife, you know? Especially after the blowjob thing. I do see your point, unintelligent people who watch wrestling and think it's real probably believe politics also. I am ashamed to admit that my mom does that.

  • The topic is whatever the hell I choose for it to be - Fuckhead! Don't tell me what the fuck I can and cannot say! I won't allow anyone that! And I believe you're on YouTube. Are you REAL? Or just a real annoying asshole!

  • one word: DER! look it up!

  • cenk is right that this is a game and politics....but the dangerous nature of this when people provoke anger,hatred and violence.....that is precisely what mccain and palin did....they never clarified that they were playing around.....in palin's case i think she was serious.....the media may play the role of political john madden....but it is also their duty to step in when things get out of control....that is was fox news NEVER does...they just sit back at keep adding fuel to the fire

  • This is why I don't like the Clintons.

  • it's not just the Clintons, I'm sure Obama did the same thing, WE know GWB did it, John McCain did it and so on... it's how things work, yeah it's childish but it has obviously worked with many constituents.

  • I wouldn't have mind as much if Bill didn't make such a big fuss. He accused Obama of playing the race card on him. His admission now shows what kind of character he has. His word means nothing to me now.

  • What disgusts me, is there aree lives on the line. people DIE over this bullshit. So, I WILL take it seriously, thank you very much. We suffer because they are worried about their jobs,

  • Yeah I agree, I'd almost laugh at these silly people, but yeah, it has insanely real repercussions in the real world.

  • Now wait a minute! Mean Gene Okerulund was a wonderful reporter!!

  • One of your greatest videos yet. Politics is EVERYTHING, and our politicians need to take their words and actions seriously, both when it comes to policy, like the stimulus package, and campaigning--because the stuff they say is serious, and what they say affects people's attitudes and lives and when they turn dirty, so do we.

  • When Clinton was president, he toured Oklahoma City after three tornadoes had devastated it.  One guy stuck a sign in front of what used to be his house (a tornado creamed it) with the words, "Hey Bill How's This For A Blow Job?" The secret Service made him take it down.

    Bill is doing it again. Cenk you're not making stuff up. Bill will throw anyone under his bus

  • Cenk, this is one of your all-time most insightful videos ever!

    Thank God Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich stick to their guns. We can believe in them.

  • kucinich used to be the people's congressman & now he's corporate. kinda like that gimmick for the rock. dr paul flip flopped on his comments about black people more than once. do your homework

  • What is your proof against Kucinich!

  • look for yourself. peep truthdig's page & tell me what you think

  • Cenk you need a tv time slot

  • Playing politcs = Lying at the expense of the People's will.

  • Politics is one big game.

  • never did i think on tyt i'd hear wwe and bill clinton on one piece.

  • Interesting comments from Bill Clinton about the way...IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CLINTON THINKS!!

    Just take that mic, shine it up real good, turn it sideways and SHOVE IT UP YO CANDYASS!!

    IF YA SMMMEEEEEELLLELELELELELAH WHAT BARACK...

    ...is cookin'

    Barack says....Barack says....

  • Usually I like Cenk and agree with him, but this clip is very annoying. He totally misinterprets what Clinton meant by "a political moment." Clinton has talked about the incident many times and he has never said he was "playing politics" at all. In NO WAY would Clinton ever say he had played the race card as Cenk wants to imagine.

  • what's the difference between "playing politics" & "a political moment"? nothing. clinton SPECIFICALLY said that they were doing what they could to win & it's not what he believed in his heart. what did you miss?

  • You're confusing what Clinton said with the words Cenk put in his mouth, which Clinton never said. Clinton meant that the Obama camp was playing politics. Clinton has talked about this many times. In no way was he making any kind of admission when he mentioned "a political moment." Cenk is misinterpreting.

  • uh no, clinton didn't say "obama's camp". he said "political moment". clinton said (paraphrased) "we play the game". what did you miss?

  • Beautiful comments Cenk, TV politics is just as "real" or "fake" as WWE but the only thing is people haven't realized it yet. Its like the american sheeple wanna be lied to they wanna see bullshit that is fake but not exposed as real.

  • Politics is indeed just a game.

    And Clinton is the master at playing it.

  • The media not only "covers" politics, they also give "cover" to politics. How is reason supposed to function in such a world? Oh yeah, it doesn't.

  • And the best president in recent history.

  • I saw the whole interview before, it's not clear what he means, he could be saying 'why did the media give so much credence to this attack on my record because it was a political thing,' you can't tell if he is saying his comments were political and the media shouldn't have made such a run with it, or if the attacks on him were political...it can go either way, my feeling is he is talking about the attacks on his record, since the interviewer was talking about that just a moment before...

  • If he didn't want a reaction from ppl, then he wouldn't have said it though. That's the whole point of playing politics, isn't it? To make voters react a certain way? So, he shouldn't have been shocked, but I guess he expected the reaction to be positive somehow.

  • Wait. . . wait. . . . wait. . . WWE isn't real?

  • and i wife-beater goes underneath another shirt

  • I know, The truthful stuff is usually concerned with the weather or some manner of disaster. The political stuff, they complain they whine they want a highly convoluted solution to every simple problem so they can seem more important while they themselves are the cause of most of the difficulty. In real reality leaders try to lead with confabulation and convolution. There are legitimate complaints, but no one can tell me that the economic disaster was not planned.

  • like Obama never played politics...pllllzzzzzz

    enough of this Obama groupy action

  • ... he never said President Obama doesn't play politics.

  • Of course Obama plays politics too!

    But I seems like he does it because he genuinly wants to help America.

  • Sorry, Cenk. I agree with parts of your message, but you are wrong about Clinton's "admission". in the "that's politics" expression, he was not talking about himself.

    We should be careful about very general statements. Not all politicians are the same, and believing so can often induce a feeling of cynicism and impotence that causes the public to turn their back to politics. After all, if you can't change things, why bother to pay attention?

  • Politicians don't need to necessarily believe in everything they say, as long as they stick to the opinion, which represents their voters.

  • I love the analogy.

  • Sorry Cenk but I have to disagree with you on this one. As a black American, who supported Obama during the primaries, I didn't hear anything in this interview referencing race or racial politics. Sorry to say I think you're reaching a bit. Love TYT regardless :)

  • I can't believe what I'm hearing - Clinton played a little politics and wrestling is fake....WTF?!

  • This was a great clip. Sometimes you get so caught up in the back and forth of politics it feels like they really care about what they are saying.

    But in all reality, they are just some of the better actors this country has to offer. They are just saying what they think they need to keep their seat or work their way up.

    Whether or not they "believe" what they are saying doesn't really play into it. In MOST cases, at least.

  • wow what a lack of inteligent things to say...

  • Wow, just wow.

  • how weird that no one else picked up on that clip. very interesting for him to say that in an official interview i'd say! :) good job tyt.

  • well the system is set up and ran by people who dont really believe in democracy, thats why its a plutocracy, whoever gets the most money can run the most advertisment and historically that so far always ment victory, whoever can run the biggest show wins - bread and games! and who is profiting the most from these "games"? well who stages the show? the media of course! of course they play along

  • Uh? That's not true at all. That's something Repubs have clung to in an effort to sooth their wounds.

    You can't possibly believe that... by the way, Ross Perot says hi.

  • huh? what is not true? these are basically truisms, where else do you think these campaign contributions go? and is it just coincidence that whichever candidate outspends the opponent wins!?

  • Dude come on, look, every candidate HAS to raise funds to compete for the job.

    If you don't have this ability then you can't be taken seriously, however, though being able to raise more funds than your opponent gives you an advantage, it doesn't guarantee you success has you're eluding to.

    Thus the reason I pointed out recent history with Ross Perot, who could have out spent his competition 10x over but couldn't muster enough public confidence to win.

  • yeah ok but actually perots case is best prove that it is a plutocracy, see that he only spend 60 million of his own money and overall less than the other candidates, he still was the most successful third party candidate ever - considering the two party gridlock this is a huge success, and for the most part a bought one

    you have professional corporate media whos daily business is to analyse, exploit, manipulate even control the viewer..

  • ..and if they have the money politicians are allowed to call upon this propaganda infrastructure and expertise for their purposes, you can literally buy voter support, fascism through the backdoor, there is simply no argument against a financialy equalized playing field other than the believe in plutocracy

  • Oyi yoi yoi, fine, have it your way.

  • Take everything you said in this piece TYT and now apply it to the monkey shooting thingy... you still think the National Post weren't being racist and had NO clue that such a thing could/would be viewed as racist?

    ... yeah ok, lets all keep playing the fool but I bet my ass if it had been the slightest bit anti-Jewish nobody would have been asking "well, is it REALLY anti-Jew?" cause we all know the Jewish community don't play that BS.

  • It was the New York Post.

  • My little error, thanks.. but what I said still stands though. When you have a guy who's been around for over 40years in the USA drawing up a sketch like that and pretending "lol, no no no you're all too sensitive. It's not meant to be racial at all"

    The dude and people in charge over at the New York Post are old enough to remember vividly and understand how something like this can be viewed. It was deliberate, we know it and shouldn't be afraid to say it and pretend people r just 2 sensitive

  • That is a symptom that our democracy is sick. Party affiliation means nothing to the policies, the ruling class only changes policies to maintain power.

    The whole electoral process needs help in the US (i am American) I want to read Naomi Wolf "Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries" anyone read it?

  • "purely" is NOT to much

  • Yep it's about saying whatever you got to say to win.

  • Clinton Apologetics.

  • Obama knew it.

  • Funny thing is, Cenk never addresses the next question, "Is that line of political maneuvering OK?" I think most people here will agree that Karl Rove-style political tricks are out of line and have made things worse for the country. Is playing with Obama's race so unethical that it should not have been done at all, even if it was just for the sake of political gaming?

  • Every politician does it whether it is right or not. Obama, McCain, Clinton, etc. all do it. If they didn't they wouldn't get elected. They just try different forms of it. Perhaps, they aren't as overt as some other candidates, but it is still there.

  • lol@ mean gene and superfly, Cenk your ancient dude no one knows who they are anymore

  • Of course it's all politics, I figured that out way long ago but the American drones keep voting in the same criminals OVER AND OVER again. So who's really at fault here?

  • good point.

  • of course, but how do we know who will stand by their word and who won't? i thought something was fishy when obama changed his views about marijuana.. so i guess we have to wait 'til 2012 for ron paul.. hopefully.

  • Joe Biden called Obama's clean...Some were very offend about that...Now, Joe Biden, is obama vice president. People forget that is a part of politics especially when tring to pick another president....They attack one another.

  • exactly. on an insignificant side-note: that's why so many people loved that Ron Paul. at least you knew he said what he believed.

    we're not ready for that, though. it's unpredictable. i think we like living in this make-belief world. it's easyer to understand stuff if you just take it at face-value.

    like ethical conflcts in movies are always so much more clear then those in real life.

  • playing Politics and Playing Racial Politics are two completely different animals. Someone PLEASE give me One Example of how B. Clinton played racial politics against B. Obama. just one.

  • Jackthemeat: the most famous example from the primary season was this - When Obama won South Carolina, Bill Clinton said something like, "yes, this is very historic, but remember, Jesse Jackson won it in a past primary too."

    Since Jesse Jackson never won the Democratic nomination, this was widely interpretated as Bill Clinton playing racial politics.... in the sense that he was downplaying Obama's mass appeal accross racial lines and trying to frame him as "the black guy" in the race.

  • miguelin he WAS "the black guy" in the race.

    B. Clinton never said he was and you are jumping to conclusions about his statements. Interpretation Fail!!!!

  • Jackthemeat - this is not an interpretation fail. It's one legitimate interpretation of what Clinton said. You asked for an example of when Bill might have played racial politics, and I gave it to you.

    Notice that I never gave my personal opinion. I said "this was widely interpreted" as racial politics.

    I just informed you of where many people like Cenk were coming from, because I thought that's what you wanted.  Stop trying to pick a fight with people who appreciate discourse.

  • Well Said...

  • wow people are surprised cause he is admitting they lie to get elected and will do anything to win or people are surprised cause now they see the that politicians are nothing but actors auditioning for the best roll in the world ?

    the system is a joke and anyone that takes it serious needs to wake up and see the men behind the curtain

  • wtf...

  • what comment was bill Clinton referring to???

  • Unfortunately, I agree with this. He was such a great president, and to know this is heartbreaking.

  • Cenk, you're wrong.

  • are the young turks high ?????

  • Comment removed

  • The fault ultimately lies with humanity, not politicians or the NWO.

    If people chose to be civil towards each other, we never would have gone to iraq and afganistan to get revenge on people who never attacked us in the first place...

    If Americans were civil, 911 never would have occurred, because the solution to terrorism is the end of poverty, and we simple choose to drive poor countries deeper into the ground out of our own greed.

  • Very well said.

  • ditto

  • very well said.

    And then wealthy nations walk around with their noses in the air willfully ignorant

  • Excellent comment. insightful, reasoned and sensible. We are a big part of the problem but would rather point the finger elsewhere.

  • so what?

  • Interpretation fail?

    :(

  • DEFINITE interpretation fail by Cenk. It doesn't happen often, but it happens.

  • cenk*pwns

  • ohhhh now you fucked up!

  • welcome to reality...lol

  • Clinton you sad motherfucker..

  • I think he's saying that the people criticising him were being political, and that he was surprised by how the media went along with those criticisms.

  • JiyuuDaiIchi, you're right. That's what I said too, and others like Canycme agree.

    Cenk misread the clip.

  • TYT = Best fucking show! Keep up the good work! TYT ARMY AT YOUR SERVICE CENK!!

  • Cenk got it wrong in this clip (it happens).

    Clinton was saying that people on the OTHER side played politics. Clinton is saying that his accusers - those who said he BILL CLINTON being racist when he campaigned against Obama - were playing politics.

    Cenk, you have sadly discovered nothing of value in this clip. It's just Clinton saying "yes, I was hurt by those accusations" (in response to the interviewer's question!!!!), AND then brushing it off as just part of the political season.

  • NO! CENK IS NEVER WRONG!

    I will contact the TYT surpreme court and you will be tried for Treason against the TYT nation! xD

  • What?

    What the fuck did you hear? OLLOLOLO

  • miguelin, you are exactly right.

    Although in the larger scheme of things Cenk is correct about politicians playing politics in general, he misread Clinton's response.

  • canycme, THANK YOU!!! I thought I was taking crazy pills here. Usually Cenk is so logical and listens to what people are saying. But here, he jumped to his own conclusion and forgot to listen to what Clinton was actually saying.

    Clinton never admits in this clip that HE used racial politics, but somehow that's what Cenk thinks Clinton did. Jayar should have corrected him.

  • he didn't say ppl on the other side played politics. Why are you inserting the word other into this? Replay the clip. Sorry.
