So if it's good cop on bad cop, it's okay, but bad cop on innocent civilian, that's okay as well..?

And yeah, Cenk is his name and he's had it for as long as TYT's shows have been up on sift (which you've obviously missed) and probably since birth. Mebbe you want him to produce his birth certificate?

Maddow bit was fine, but this TYT presents annoys the shit out of me. Far too high outrage and grandstanding to content ratio.

TYT - Senators Face Backlash Over Letter To Iran

And not for nothing but it's TSG that did the investigation. It's TSG's story. Everyone else reporting on it (including TYT) learned it from them. The link is below the video.

Witness 40? How many witnesses were there? Also, I don't consider TYT as credible.

At any rate, if the GJ were hornswoggled why doesn't someone come forward and dispute all of this? If there has been a travesty of justice, surely at least ONE person can come forward to get it straightened out. But I suppose, as in the OJ Simpson case, the judicial system is left to make it's own decisions.

And here's you just plagiarizing what someone else said again.

Really starting to wonder if you're even capable of an original thought.

There is a demonstrated bias towards equity investment domestically which is probably what Adam Smith was talking about, which is rather different to tax havens and global supply chains which would not have been as feasible back in the 18th century.

Chomsky is also not really correct as Adam Smith does use it in the more general sense that it is referred to today in The Theory of Moral Sentiments. That it took me a couple of minutes to contradict this video with wikipedia does not bode well for the fact checking of TYT.

I think it's also worth pointing out that Smith's position wasn't that of unrestrained market activity. The general principle of the invisible hand is sound if you accept that point. As far as his actual position on the role of government, it's open to interpretation. It's also worth pointing out that you can't expect a concept to not need some adjustment after 250 years.

Your video, TYT - NO Indictment for Ferguson Cop, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

If the people wanted Obama and Democrats to move forward they would have voted for the Democrats. But that is not what happened.

The people don't want the Democrat way.

The Democrats failed to deliver.

This TYT episode is a joke.

Its now up to the Republicans to deliver, but they will most likely utterly fail with egg on their face.

How many violent criminals are in Norway's prisons? According to TYT, the U.S. has almost 10 times as many homicides as Norway, so I think it's safe to assume that U.S. prisons hold a much higher percentage of violent criminals. Coincidentally, violent criminals are far more likely to be repeat offenders.

Poverty is another factor to consider. Poverty and crime are directly correlated. Many people commit crimes out of desperation. After being released from prison, their situation doesn't change. Regardless of your skills, finding a job as an ex-convict isn't easy (hell, finding a job as regular citizen isn't easy these days) and the likelihood of getting one that actually pays more than minimum wage is pretty low. If "freedom" means living in a shithole apartment and barely surviving by doing tedious, demeaning and low-paying work (or even taking multiple jobs), is incarceration really any worse? You'll still be doing tedious work but you won't have to worry about paying for rent, water, electricity, food, gas, healthcare, insurance, etc.

So, what would happen if we made American prisons as nice and cushy as the ones in Norway? Would crime actually decrease? Or would criminals simply see prison as a mild slap on the wrist? Or even a step up from their current situations? If our current prisons aren't scary enough to deter people from breaking the law, would a spa-like prison be any more effective? Hell, there are already recorded cases of people intentionally getting arrested in the U.S. so they can go to prison and not have to worry about living on the street. If our prisons were as nice as Norway's, these cases would only become more common.

People like to focus exclusively on recidivism rates but those aren't the only statistics that matter. And if you really only care about recidivism, you should be all for the dealth penalty. After all, death row prisoners have a 0% recidivism rate.

As a Canadian I don't know TYT or know of Cenk other than video clips I come across... We probably exist at the same end of the political spectrum, but, his arguments are often so full of fuzzy logic and bizarre interpretations that I end up disagreeing totally with him.
Here his comments are contradictory, he makes up 'facts' which are simply his opinion, etc, etc.

On TYT's thumbnail, Affleck's facial expression bears a striking resemblence to that of David Silverman (aka WTF-guy) when O'Reilly made his point about "tide goes in, tide goes out -- you can't explain that".

Intent or coincidence?

Also, anyone else miss Hitchens right now?

TYT - Ben Affleck vs Bill Maher & Sam Harris has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579 on that post.

So Monarchies are oppressive? Hmmm. Interesting. Got it.

But doesn't Norway also have a Monarchy? And in this comment, didn't you extoll the values of their nationalized and socialized industries? Would you not then also give a pass to Norway's people who might reject that form of government and feel the need to secede? Same for Denmark, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, the UK, and most of the civilized Western world for that matter?
