Obama has become a typical phony politician.

"resident racist" isn't much of a title. I'd much prefer Resident Racist/Sexist/Capitalist. I'm not doing a very good job....

Thank you for reminding me that THE PRESIDENT has attacked private citizens like Rush Limbaugh. That is far less sanguine than a private citizen calling out the president; criticism comes with the job.

Observation about the Presidency itself. Observation about Obama's failure--IMO--to maintain the dignity of the office.

RACISM: NONE

Thurston hasn't yet learned that in America you define who you are, no one else. If he wants to play the role of victim, that's his choice, there's a whole political party dedicated to winning his vote by defining him as one.

RACISM: only from the patronizing left

Leftists need victims/oppressed to get votes. When there aren't enough victims, they make them. This is born of the foundation of liberalism: powerlessness at the hands of life's lottery, with anyone not a random winner an exploited loser.

If Baratunde "puppies on a hovercraft" Thurston wants to specifically address Blackness in America, shouldn't he be far more incensed at the 70% illegitimacy rate in the Black community, a literal blueprint for cultural and economic failure?

YES IT'S UNPLEASANT, BUT FACTS ARE FACTS. LOOK UP THE STATS. Btw, the overall illegitimacy rate in America across all races is now 40%. Also nothing to celebrate.

AND I call bullshit on BT's "outrage". He's the host of a TV show as well as a paid comic. He may be somewhat upset, but I don't buy for a second he's this thin-skinned; he'd never have made it in the entertainment industry. His potential for happiness is his choice and problem, not yours or mine.

And while we're on the subject, this collective phony "outrage" every time something is read or heard that you disagree with is tiresome. For fck's sake, there aren't enough white sheets in the world to cover everyone the left has accused of racism. Don't you have ANYTHING else to talk about?

RACISM: NONE

@Xaielao It's not Republicans who are frightened, it's conservatives, peeps who understand the Constitution and the assault it's under.

RACISM: NONE

If Trump is a "Klansman" (an outrageous charge) that would make him a democrat.

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
I've listed a bunch of shady stuff from Obama's past above. Criminal land deals. Associations with domestic terrorists. Attending the sermons of blatantly racist pastor


Right.. the so-called Ayers connection (a guy who donated 200 bucks to Obama) , a pastor who said some crazy shit, and a crook landlord. Major fucking scandals there. Lets get real, these are packets of dirt all dug up for political reasons by his opponents, and when you dig a bit deeper, as many have done, it turns out the connections are not really there at all. Its all conspiracy food for the hungry. coincidently, I saw today a report that proves some of my points to all this guilt-by-association nonsensical conspiracy theories, about a guy called Greg Mortensen (who Obama donated to, so another stain on his record btw). Watch this video: http://youtu.be/XhAb37yZ0o0

Now, Mortensen is a best-selling author, and for that(And probably because Obama donated to him), he paid the price of having reporters actually cross-check his stories and past. Turns out that much of it was bullshit, and he has some real skeletons. But lets pause for a second and consider this: How much scrutiny do you think Mortensen past has had VS Obamas past? How much time and effort was really laid down by 60 minutes in order to expose him as a fraud? A lot of good reporting and investigating, sure, and I'm sure CBS saw it as a scoop of sorts.

But imagine if someone did the same on Obama, the POTUS himself, and could reveal him as a big phony. Imagine the scoop! Right?

The sad truth is that they've done all this, like they do with every candidate, dug through their past, gone through records, interviewed friends, family, business-connections, land deals, activists, churces, photos, schools, birth cerfiticates, foreign countries and whatever else. They interviewed his fuckin grandmother in Kenya, for crying out loud.

Think for a moment, if Obama was a fraud like Mortensen, wouldn't you have something more on him by now?

What does he gain by faking a Russian accent? One word:

Opulence.

>> ^kronosposeidon:

What would this guy have to gain by faking a Russian accent? Anything? Does speaking with a Russian accent have some sort of cachet that I'm not aware of?
Besides, I checked the video on YouTube, and he has his Twitter URL listed in the information. I checked out his tweets and read this one he posted only 2 days ago:
"Do I have any subscribers in the Chicago area who would like to play paintball with me?"
Now, would he be asking the public at large to play paintball with him, in which you run around, shoot at people, get shot at, and get all sorts of adrenaline pumping through your system, AND make sure his Russian accent never slips while he's in the heat of a paintball battle? Because that would make him look bad to his fellow players, wouldn't it? And wouldn't that info immediately make it back to Twitter, making him look like a big fucking phony to everyone? And for what? Just so people will think that he's Russian?
Again, does speaking with a Russian accent have some sort of cachet that I'm not aware of?

Not really sure. He could just be doing it for a laugh. Or it's simply part of some ongoing shtick. He probably doesn't give a hoot either way.

I'm not American and I'm not against China, but Lang Lang, not for this particular event, is a serious twat. My gripe is with his facial expression when he's playing. Freaking phony.

The function of over-the-top personalities like Coulter and Limbaugh is to make the slightly less over-the-top rhetoric of FOX seem more objective and reasonable. I wonder if liberals would do better if they had their own Coulters, Becks and Limbaughs? Probably not. Air America (a liberal analog to right wing talk radio) did not attract enough liberal listeners to stay afloat. As phony as Air America was, it didn't approach the level of dishonesty you find in right wing talk radio or on FOX news. I think liberals prefer more intellectual sources of information, like NPR, PBS and print media.


Air America sucked because it just wasn't funny or fun to listen to. No Rush Limbaugh isn't that funny really...he's more annoying. Sean Hannity though...he's damn good at what he does and he's funny, I could have a genuine funny conversation with him without stabbing him in the eyes. I tried with Air America...Liberals aren't funny when they're scolding people.

Mel Guzman could have purchased it from a pawn shop, flea market or by any other legitimate means, for all we know. Yet some of you here and on youtube are passing judgement on this person. And I "love" how the speaker makes a snarky remark about having an unemployment form.
How many of you have not had to fill out an unemployment form?
Maybe this person couldn't afford the latest machine because he's, I don't know... unemployed? Maybe he didn't know how to reformat the drives on this machine? Since all the anecdotal information tells us is that Mel got the computer recently and just turned it on.
And before you people jump on my ass... lets read upon the law of Possession of Stolen Goods.
If the individual didn't know the goods were stolen, then the goods are returned to the owner and the individual is not prosecuted. Innocent possession is not a crime.. If Mel was the original thief, why would he still have the computer? Wouldn't a thief sell it quickly as possible to make money... Not hold on to it for 2 years then use it himself?
So it's okay to virtually lynch Mel Guzman... Vigilante Justice in a form of a Hacker Hipster is acceptable in Videosift world?
Videosift is liberal minded, yet there are 98 of you who just assume Mel Guzman stole this computer. You fuckers don't believe in due process before passing judgment?
And yes, it is true it's not the court of law. Yet this video has been viewed by over half of million people... What if one of these people were someone who wanted to hire Mel Guzman. Now because of some smug smart-ass douche bag, Mel Guzman will continued to be unemployed.
You know what would be true justice... If the authorities finds mp3's downloaded from Limewire and RIAA sue the speaker, because we all know Mel does not have the password to install any applications on this machine.
You bunch of phony liberal fuckers. I consider myself a center-right, yet even I know this is wrong.
Merry Fucking Christmas and Happy New Years Assholes.

I'm not sure anyone would hire someone who can't spell their own name.

But basically you're right unless Mel had already been proven to be the thief. And I imagine that would be hard to do once he denied it.

As has already been said this is the sort of conference where anything goes - but I'm surprised the organisers did not seek to anonymise much of the material.
