We had a Bassett Hound when I was a kid.

Barney was the coolest. Sorry swampgirl.

Sure he would. This whole video is him speculating that Carolyn Maloney will be the Democratic Party's ranking member in the finance committee, because that's who the banksters want.

And then he spends 5 minutes crowing about how right he is because an article got published in a newspaper that pretty clearly indicated banksters like her. So what? Only crazy Republicans think the newspapers work for the Democratic party.

Plus, every quote he took from the article was sourced to someone on Wall Street's side. Where's a source from, say, someone in the Democratic party who's part of the decision-making process? Nowhere to be found in Cenk's piece. But, in the article he's sourcing all this from, there's this:

“For Nancy Pelosi, Maxine is a three-fer,” said one congressional staffer, noting that it will be Ms. Pelosi who ultimately makes the determination if Democrats retake control. “She is a fellow Californian, she is an African-American woman, and it is her turn.”

And this:

“A lot of folks in the CBC [Congressional Black Caucus] would not look too kindly on an outside challenge,” said one Capitol Hill lobbyist. “They want to go back to the seniority system.”

And this:

For her part, Ms. Waters seems confident her long service will carry her through. “Let me let you in on a secret: I am the senior-most person serving on the Financial Services Committee,” she told the 2012 California State Democratic Convention last month. “Barney Frank is about to retire, and guess who’s shaking in their boots? The too-big-to-fail banks and financial institutions and all of Wall Street because Maxine Waters is going to be the next chair of the Financial Services Committee.”

Oh, so Nancy Pelosi, the CBC, and Maxine herself all think she's a lock? Well, that would kinda undercut Cenk's anti-Democratic spin, so he doesn't mention any of that.

Cenk's whole show seemed to just be a vehicle for bashing Democrats, often for things they aren't actually guilty of doing. Like...this whole thing about Carolyn Maloney, which is 100% speculation!

At this point he honestly seems to me like some sort of Karl Rove creation designed to depress Democratic turnout and liberal activism.

Cenk would only say that Waters had sold out to the banks if it were demonstrably true. He's big on backing up his statements with facts. He would never just speculate that she "must have" sold out.

I really try hard to go with what the videos subject is. I mean anyone can put Fire as a channel even though its a vanquishing moment of flickering light and heat, if music is something that is prevalent and an object in a video, the sure. But I really try to adhere to what the video entails specifically. I pull water quite often just because I think its a joke of a channel, kind of like fire... but you know.. whatever. they are there to have fun with because no one takes those channels real serious, they are joke channels. pft.. water... ptf fire.. wtf ? why not wind or earth, hell we can all be Captain planet wanna'bees soon enough ! hahhaha
Wind, water Earth,fire..love.. wtf was the other one...

I guess I should of done that before your h00 ha. But its not fit for kids channel, that channel is for barney and Tommy the tonka truck not commercials featuring kids.

Just out of curiosity, are you the kind of sifter that attaches the music channel to any video that just happens to have music on it, whether the content is music related or not?


Not really. why ? you got some links of evidence to prove otherwise ?

Just wondering



Heart.

Personally it kind of annoys me when music is slapped on any video, what if someone's looking specifically for music but gets a video of some random crap that has a bit of music in the background. As for the kids channel, I don't think it's just a "for kids" channel, but also a channel where the content is about or involves kids, and that ad was a cute and clever commercial with a kid and kids central to it.

My cards on the table: I think Obama is a horrible leader, one of the worst I've ever seen in elected office. I thought he had great vision before, and I liked his early actions in the Middle East, but he seems to lack the balls to do anything decisive. Even if he made strong decisions that I disagreed with I'd respect him more than I do. On that count, Bush was better.

>>> You think Obama failed because he wasn't liberal enough, is that correct? I saw no vision, just a clever media-protected imago who freely admitted he acted as a mirror or canvas for everyone to project their ideas onto him. Middle East failures are no surprise. He's an appeaser, his offered olive branch to the turbaned vermin was predictably shoved up his you-know-where.

What good would the Keystone Pipeline do the US? All it does is remove oil from the States to sell abroad. How could this possibly be a good thing?

>>> It would do more good than fake solar companies. Special thanks to the current idiot Energy Secretary for admitting out loud what the rest of us already knew.

Assuming "scamulous" means "stimulus", then yes, of course it failed. Nothing would have succeeded.

>>> Where were you with this warning before the scamulus began (and yes, Bush conceived it but Obama supercharged it).

And if he hadn't given a stimulus package, the Republicans would have jumped down his throat for doing nothing.

>>> Back to leadership: a real leader can take it. FDR's scamulus was also a failure and revisionist history hides its lack of effectiveness, but at least FDR said of his enemies, "I welcome their hatred."

But per your last comment, "the guy in charge at the time the fit hits the shan gets the blame", so you accept then that the entire worldwide financial crisis is Bush's fault anyway. Deal.

It's a tad more complicated than that. Bush Hatred was a daily staple of the libmedia diet and people were naturally disenchanted with negative-only libmedia reporting on the wars. I'm not sure if Bush got the lion's share of the blame for the Follies of '08...he does deserve blame for the initial scamuli, as well as acting like a liberal with a few conservative tendencies.

The seeds of the banking crisis were sowed by government ineptitude and corruption. Few people take huge risks with their own money, so when a socialist government funds a "Free Houses for Poor People Who Can't Afford Them Act" program and promises banks "risk-free" support of loans and investments to do so, people act accordingly.

Europe has European socialism to blame for its follies. Someone's gotta pay for all that free honey, and when there are more freeloaders than worker bees the hive collapses.

May the majority of bewildered voters not be so readily fooled this year, even if it means electing a stiff like Romney. Welcome back stability after His Earness and his planned chaos. And Barney Frank belongs in an orange jumpsuit for his role in the financial crises.

"A place for all the Audio only embeds placed on Videosift.

If there is no video but audio, chances are it belongs here. Suggested uses :

-Music
-speeches
-Comedy/Stand up routines


This is not a place for sound bites such as Homer Simpsons "Whoo hoo " or Barney's Burping. The Audio must have substance."

Why isn't this audiosift? Seems to meet the guidelines to me. What am I not understanding? @BoneRemake, as the keeper of the channel, is this audiosift?


>> ^doogle:

Not AudioSift.

By 'one big fuckup' you mean Barney and Fannie and Freddie, right?

>> ^speechless:

Why would this not belong in the kids channel?
Is it not a video by kids with a positive message for kids?
Personally, I don't like the video tbh, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the right channels.


Kids is for sesame street, Thomas the tank engine,barney,bill nye the science guy, how to build a paper airplane etc. As I was told by THEE highest, as per the channel owners original wishes ( yet shitty standing description)

Tags for this video have been changed from 'My, First, Video, on, Videosift, Happy, Anniversary, to, me' to 'Flintstones, Fred, Barney, Wilma, Happy Anniversary' - edited by xxovercastxx

WTF is going on with Barney and his head being on backwards?


I know! FAKE!

WTF is going on with Barney and his head being on backwards? Or maybe his head if fine but his body is on backwards??

Anyways...Happy Siftiversary !!

Barney does more than "support" marijuana legalization...
