And to read his constant bashing of Obama while giving a pass to the Republicans on everything, he apparently still is.

I get that you despise criticism of President Obama, but try a *little* harder. I went to the TYT YouTube channel and found this in the last week alone:

Thanks.

that's not near as bad as suggesting that BHO misjudged the integrity of rightwingnuts, despite them having a long track record of lacking any, and making it clear at the onset, that making him a one termer was their #1 priority. That's like expecting the bully to shake your hand and be pals, with all the evidence pointing to them having one interest -- rubbing your nose in the turds they kick outta ya.

and I'd bet he was praising them for weeks and months before then...lol

Recycled Heritage Foundation plans are no better when pushed by Third Way "Democrats".

So what?

Or should the generals have been held accountable for not getting their jobs done?

you can't contest his point, just change the subject like an expert

odd, having listened to and read Cenk for several years, I'd characterize him as an equal opportunity basher like me, as is easily supported

given this falsehood "while giving a pass to the Republicans on everything", how would you rate your intellect level or integrity on a scale of 1-10?

Well,
there goes ANY credibility you had left on DU.

At least Attacking the Messenger based on facts, though it IS a Logical Fallacy, has some limited worth,
but outright false smears do nothing for DU or the propagators of the lies.

Cenk has been very consistent in his opposition to Conservative Values,
and his support FOR Traditional Democratic Party Values.
He constructed an air tight case in the link at the OP.

Hillary is also a former Republican.
Will you tar her with the same brush?



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

"Not only did the Republicans not thank the president for including their mandate in the health care law, they have turned around and pretended they are against it. But of course it goes much deeper than that. In fact, they are now using it as the principal argument to take down the whole law."


Is sad but true. The mandate has been something insurance companies through republicans have been pushing for for decades.


I do not always agree with Cenk. He certainly pissed me off having that POS Matt Stoller on his show recently. But the mandate is a dream come true for insurance companies. Without it they will go bankrupt. That's why I don't think the mandate will be struck down because as much as tea partiers foam at the mouth about it the real backers of the republican party (corporations) love it. So only a complete undoing of HCR will benefit republicans and their monied backers.

I really don't understand how this is "pretending": http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=505489

They are against it because all it takes is one piece of legislation, a public option non-profit government insurer, and the insurance companies are mostly out of business.

But they've used the mandate to whip up outrage and support from their base. Putting them in the spot where they can't just do away with the mandate. They court will have to have reasons for wiping the entire law out.

That's why we lose. The right wing drives the narrative.

Part of what makes the accusation that we have a liberal media laughable.

Democrats opposed the MANDATE on Traditional Democratic Party Values without
being "driven" by anybody.

As Cenk points out,
many here supported Obama because HE opposed the Mandate.
Was HE being "driven" by the Right Wing when he promised that?

The rise of the Tea Party was basically manufactured though and I'm not sure it could've been foreseen.

Meanwhile, the right wing tends to be the more opposed to ACA: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=505489

I used to watch it until they hired him.

Cenk or Krugman, who was and still is for it.

so he can hit the left from what is allegedly the left was a brilliant move on the part of the right.

And it's working.

That was just 3-dimensional chess on the part of the GOP?



Come back with some facts please.

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. ~President Harry S. Truman, Address at the National Convention Banquet of the Americans for Democratic Action (17 May 1952)

and is making amends in a huge way!

over and over again.

were essential to passing HCR... It's often the same people who suggested that it doesn't matter if a D or an R appoints members of the SCOTUS.

Bizarre.
