Bet you those Muslim terrorists are hiding behind the women and children to try and make Obama look bad just as this video on youtube proves-Hamas - Human Shield Confession. I remember, I am not that stupid. I actually remember back in 2004, Muslims would put rocket launchers on top of kindergartens and fire on Israel. I actually saw the footage. Muslims are cowards did you know that Muslims as of now continue to invade Africa and en slave the African people. Let’s see TYT talk about that.

Thank you! I have been saying this for ages. What value is there in having like-minded people discussing issues that they all more or less agree on?

[norm dixon]

or "What would have happened if Obama had some balls".

Why would we need a spokesman for the conservative point of view? We have Fox for that.

[speedls]

Ha! If you had any idea. I happen to think that Ben is very funny, and has generally better insight than Cenk. I like Mr. Shure's thought process, but he's boring to listen to by himself. The three of them make for a better show.

That is so stupid. No that isn't the first stem toward amnesty. Obama just said that to get the vote, I doubt that he will even pass immigration reform when he gets reelected. It is politics, and I do like that he won't be deporting these people now.

[calimar28]

Yes it is a first step to amnisty, and we all know it. The game is get as many latinos in as possible until they are such a large voter block, that they can hold us hostage by demanding we allow all of Mexico in, or they wont vote. I know what the game is.

[visini14]

No you idiot. He did not give amnesty. He prioritized the police. If someone is under 30 a graduate, in college, or in the military/veteran, who has no criminal record, they can receive a workers permit because they are not a threat to the US. That is not amnesty.

[calimar28]

Doesthat include illegal aliens? Because King Obama just gave amnisty today to all illegals under 30 yrs old without congress permission.

What facts? Name one "fact" you've pointed out. And you're the one who engaged in race-baiting & homophobia, but I'm wrong for calling you out on it out and telling you you're a fucking moron for it? Typical tea party mentality of stirring up shit, then accusing the other side of doing the exact thing you're doing & positioning yourself as the victim. Blow me.
