4. Cenk lost me at: 'he's attacking liberals and progressives'
that's a stupid lie, how can Cenk say that with a straight face.

o wait, Cenk just might be one of those paid blow hards that on a slow day the best ratings he can get is make up shit about obama.

12. I think he lost you a long time ago. Liberals are the core of the
traditional democratic party. FDR was a lib that got elected 4 times. He didn't give a shit about the other guy. He just wanted good bills.

27. Ever wonder why you are about the only one that believe that?
Why do you think so many on the Left feel so slighted. Is it because you think we are all stupid?

28. no, not stupid.
but will jump at any sniff or shadow of a chance to pound on the Obama administration.

I've seen it done here dozens and dozens of times at every trivial and most times nonexistant reason.

It's what you do.

I call bullshit.

30. Proud to be in group 3
-There are people who uncritically hate the Democratic party/Obama admin no matter what, more or less.

-There are people who uncritically love the Democratic party/Obama admin no matter what, more or less.

-There are people in between that gives praise AND criticism when due, more or less.

Cenk is in the third category, as am I.

45. Yes, but it's mostly TYT content.
This is a thread about Cenk so letting people know about his guest hosting stint is not "spam". Complaining about that would be like complaining about seeing a burger on the menu at McDonald's (what did you expect when you clicked on the thread titled "Cenk Weighs In"?).

5. This Cenk guy couldnt win dogcatcher in
San Francisco.

Thats what has the Whitehouse mad. They have to deal with reality and do things that are politically possible. And they also have to worry about still being able to win elections.

Contrary to what the left thinks, this is at best a moderate country. According to polls maybe 20% are liberal. Its not possible to govern as a liberal or to win nationally as a liberal.

The "professional left" (Cenk, Olberman, Maddow, Shultz, Daily Kos, .....) doesn't have to worry about any of that though. They don't need to govern or win elections, they just need to get ratings or hits from the small minority of the population that loves their far left rantings.

7. Thanks for schooling us about liberals, "mr_liberal."
Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 01:05 AM by Hissyspit
The 20% number is specious, as has been discussed here many times.

"Far left rantings," right.

10. bs. obama didn't have to compromise one thing with 60 in the senate
but he had to play patty cake with the shit bags in there and we got a crap bill. They gave it away and the state of our election cycle is the result. How damned sad your rant is. And how damned sad it is that we have to put up with compromised shit and call it good.

14. Bullship
Cenk is the top political page on Youtube.

Cenk is concise and to the point.

The White House is completely sold out to the banks. More so than any admin in recent history. They don't give a damn about mainstreet, they are just trying to fake us out.

This country is to the left of the White House which is right of center. Obama ran and won portraying himself as left of center. Good luck on winning that way next time cuz that's a big big lie.

23. Sure. That's why Chris and Ross get elected over and over
and why we sent Tom to the Assembly. Maybe you're talking about some other San Francisco. :hi:

9. At best
I've always considered Gibbs a poor communicator. He fumbles and stumbles and sure lacks a fire in his belly. Same with Axelrod. They've been with Obama a long time, but aren't serving him well now.

Oh...yeah. Can't imagine why he would take issue with Gibbs' characterization. :)

48. Be honest
Saying that a popular talk show host is filling in for another popular talk show host on MSNBC is not "commercial use", it's information relevant to a political discussion forum.

Just be honest and say you don't like my posts because you don't like TYT/Cenk rather than majorly stretching for some loophole to stifle particular political opinions and hosts you dislike. At any rate, many people here appreciate the videos and blogs and announcements about a news/politics show/host they like.
