Guys, THIS IS REAL, listen to the music, it filled me with so much hope. I watched it over and over, and I felt so inspired!
Also, in the end he stands there almost breathless speaking what must be the language of angels, I couldn't understand a single word


EXACTLY. You can't argue with that feeling of truthiness that builds in your cockles at music like that. I would've used "Teenage Wasteland" personally, but the idea is the same.

But what if Obama didn't actually cause the problem, and the Fox/Limbaugh media tag-team just said it was Obama's fault because they can? On every issue, no matter what, Fox/Limbaugh will find a way to make it the last Dem President's fault, and will invent facts if necessary. That's what "truthiness" is all about, and that's all Fox/Limbaugh sell.>> ^quantumushroom:

Since when has the people who caused the problem mattered when it comes to QM's frothing blamespits?

This guy is SO full of crap. OMG he reeks... how can people boo that question? Do these people appreciate what bankers and politicians like him have done to the USA? OMG this is painful to watch and so painful to hear people cheer on this actor.


It's painful watching you type truthy stuff, so I'm going to boo you over the internet.

Several people have already risen to your challenge to define fascism. Googling it reveals many dictionary and encyclopaedic definitions (unless you've got a thing against truthiness). None bear any resemblance to Obama. Your move.
I agree with what you're saying and I'm trying to show that you're not telling us anything the average adult doesn't already know about American presidents. It's like telling everyone that alcohol gets you drunk. If you did, someone would probably say, "Yes, and what's your point?" Get it now?

Who here has been able to define their terms? Apart from one moron who copy-pasted the dictionary, shit which would not even fly in grade school, only me. So, my work must frame the discussion.

My narrow definition, which is a distillation of the work of experts, is both more elegant and more comprehensive than any you'll find in a dictionary. However, even those blunt instruments, except where they make amateur mistakes like placing dictatorship as an essential tenet of fascist ideology, closely describe modern US political conditions. Where do you see a deviation?

These observations are important. The POTUS is an immensely influential and historically significant individual. His supporters have to be confronted with the character of the man they're empowering.

I'm not here to tell you alcohol gets you drunk. I'm here to tell you to stop drinking while operating heavy machinery.

I challenge anyone to write an accurate definition of fascism that doesn't apply to Obama or the government he heads.
@messenger has an extraordinary technique of agreeing with all my points while claiming I'm making none.
"Hyperbole aside, how does this make him different from any other US president?"
Now you're getting it.

Bronzed God you are now, Truthy!

Welcome to the starred ranks.

Bronze! Bronze!

BRONZE!

I sorta feel like this belongs in the lies channel. Not because Gladwell is lying, but because the lies channel's full title is "One Nation Under Truthiness." That's what Gladwell's really talking about: the way the right has wrapped themselves in a false alternate reality, and have become impervious to facts that contradict their self-serving conception of the world.

Anyways, *quality video.

Hence the need for the word "Truthiness".

While you're at it, TRY and debunk the claim that the Tea Party exists only because Barack is a black democrat. You guys were pretty silent during Bush and Regan's crazy spending sprees.

Republicans don't care about the debt when they're in power, but when a Democrat is in power, suddenly it's a huge issue.

Get ready for some more spending amigo, because that's the only way you get out of a recession. I've got history on my side. I eagerly await your latest dose of "truthiness"

So.. Whats the difference then ? Every politician lies, "we" all thought barrack was gonna kick ass, and he is just another tool. Doesnt matter what name gets elected, they wont do what they say, they never do.
Politicians are salesmen for themselves, and you can not trust a salesman. I am in the stands on voting, people are stupid and there are a lot of them out there buying this shit.
PHOOEY


Sigh... no. The fact that politicians lie is the outcome--but the reason is FAR more important than the outcome.

Every politician lies. WHY? Because they wouldn't be elected if they didn't. We would punish them, shit on them, and ruin their lives if they told half of what they believed. We do this every election cycle!

We the people make the salesmen.

Why are there so few nice guys left? Because the world eats them up and spits their fucking carcasses out. I hate myself sometimes because I used to be a very nice guy and was sharted on every day from everywhere. Now that I have become wiser, harsher and less likable? I am more liked. I cannot fathom that in any manner.

You’re not stupid for voting for someone you believe is telling you the truth, you’re stupid for going into an election bar, being smooth-talked by some slick fuck in a nice suit, and going home with him to his ballot. Then, when you're crying to your friend about the disease you caught, the same friend that is the honest guy you left at the bar all alone, you wonder why he hangs up the phone on you… You wonder why he doesn't try or care. Because he did try and care--and you didn't.

Sorry for the long tirade. But the excuse is shallow on me. How to stop the lies is far more valuable than to note that they do... Here is a comment I wrote in another video, "On the right, on the left, why can't all politicians be as decent as Paul? Forget what you believe in and vote for the candidate that is most decent as a human being. Because, if you vote for a liar who "believes" as you do, you won't get anything but dick."

I would vote for Dennis John Kucinich too, for the same reason of truthiness. And I am far from liberal... And I am sure Blankfist would too, because, if not, then he would be a very shitty voter. Just like--all the other shitty voters who are damning us all.

Well, I guess if you want to bring facts and accuracy into it. I did like the truthiness of my original statement, but after looking around online I realize I might be brave enough to visit Australia after all>> ^Chaucer:

i think they have the most deadly spider. not the full top ten tho. I think you are refering to aussie having the top ten most deadliest animals/insects.
