4. I love this guy!!!! Speak Truth to Power and keep it up!!!!
We need to keep the heat on everyone here. thanks for the link. I'm gonna look up his show.
In these dark days of our republic, we need every voice we can get to keep the heat under the arses of the flatulant, or the hesitant or the afraid, if we want any real and significant change. If we have leaders who are too afraid to stand up to the military machine, we need to correct those leaders with The Truth. If we have leaders who are defending the honor and integrity of our supreme allied commander who out and out lied to congress, as if he was a tobacco executive, we need to throw that commander out.

He's 100% right, 0% wrong.
I love Cenk. So very smart and passionate. I listen to him every day.

Cenk Uygar is great to listen to, in the early morning, 6 am EDT in NYC, but only on XM satellite radio, regrettfully.

6. I totally agree.....take your three pinochios and shove them up your ass...
screw the wapo and the wash good boys club. Idiots have destroyed america and now want more. The moveon ad was great and I sent them cash, and so did a bunch of other people. We must take our country back. It is time for the people to take action. Patriots, stand up for your country now. Freedom or death and all that.
BTW, thanks for the clip.

7. This is a great clip...
this is how we need to be as Dems and as the voting public. It is about time to shake up the system-even the Dem's-they are starting to ossify.

14. Dude, Cenk hasn't been hiding....
It's just really unfortunate that more people don't know about the Young Turks. Every morning on Air America. Before that on Sirius satellite, and RadioPower. And live broadcasts on the Turks website the whole time! Too bad you didn't have an opportunity to experience the show with Ben and Jill, that was the first version. Then it was Cenk and Ben, and that was also awesome. Too bad Ben had to go. Also great when Michael Shure or Wes Clark Jr. (my personal favorite Ben replacement) sit in. But Cenk hold's his own. My drive to work would be unbearable without the Turks. Welcome to the club!! Go to their site, donate. Spread the word!! The Turks RULE.

17. AWESOME!!!
Cenk you NAILED it!! I sent a nasty e-mail to my new Senator, Amy Kloubuchar, as she ran her campaign based on doing something about Iraq and voted FOR the Move-On censure. I guess she wants to sit with the "boys in the club", as well.

23. Cenk graduated from law school ..
he told me an email, when I was conversing with him a few years ago. He actually worked for awhile in the legal field. He's very smart and well-educated.

26. Yes, Willy T!
The thing is I used to be a Republican ... because my parents called themselves "Goldwater conservatives," and flirted with the John Birch Society.

I worked in the defense contracting industry for over 10 years, and my husband was in the oil and gas industry for over two decades. Fortunately, we came over to the Good Side; but, we know the Truth. Hubby has always said that the heads of the oil and gas industries regard themselves as WAY ABOVE countries and the rabble.

Social work put me on a crash course with reality - the reality of most, the reality of many. Then law school drug us both in the leftward direction the rest of the way (Rethuglicans don't seem to understand even the basics about what our country was intended to be like).

The thing I learned was that conservative theories are just plain flawed - and wishful thinking. The other thing I learned was that virtually each Rethuglican has two lives - the social facade and the hidden weirder one. They just can't come even a bit close to living their lives openly and honestly. It just doesn't seem to be in their DNA.
