So the Turks don't think that executing innocent women at the stake is not comparable to lynching innocent black people or gassing innocent Jews? And the reason is that "it's from the olden days?" Please, please, please--bring Cenk back. Don't let the dumb sidekicks jabber without adult supervision ever again.

It's an offensive image of a person being painfully murdered for their beliefs, you would think after all we've seen with other minorities "educated" people like yourselves could draw the parallels. How about we make a waterboarder's brew, with a muslim being tortured by interrogators on the label! I bet that would be really witty and unoffensive too. PS, you are the two people who make YTT suck most often, it's sad seeing you two at the same time. ignorance city.

I'm a Wiccan and I'm not the least bit offended by that in fact I think the design is pretty cool

[NathanJesseMcCarthy]

burning "witches" and linching African Americans actually does have a similarity, being that they both involve the murders of innocent people.

[Rward783]

These people ignerant the salem witch trials were REAL it was a true MASS MURDER

[superdruid999]

not that im some history buff or anything but from what i understand smart and "witty" women were frowned upon in those days and were likely to be labeled a witch and end up at the stake. if this is true then the name of the beer makes some sence

[30TOE]

did you ever taste one?

[xXxloveandlightxXx]

ok really. he would think that wiccans would say oh look at that thats awesome...really? im not mad about the beer but this vid is wrong. do they not understand that what they are talking about is murder?

[TXnineandout]

first time EVER that i have gave a thumbs down to TYT. the banter between these two, is just wrong on many levels.

[sunkeninblood]

Only time I've ever down thumbed a TYT video.

[goldilocksgirly]

@stan137q here's something i've never really understood: why is it ok to burn women alive just because they get old? jews were really jews, but witches were JUST old women? & they were burned alive anyway? for no reason? this is ok? not offensive at all, even though it really HAPPENED, not at all unlike the holocaust? WHAT?!? if u understand why it's not ok to torture someone's grandma & burn her alive u know why this label's offensive, regardless if witches are real.

This video shows how they need Cenk Uygur on more. He's the best one on here, with the best mindset. Ben needs to gtfo.
