Are we to infer from your choice of nicknames that you support hordes of barbarians overrunning nations and killing everything in sight? Isn't that what comes to mind with a name like "Attila The Hun?" Attila, known as "the epitome of cruelty and rapacity."

While the irony is hot, why would someone bitching about Turks name themselves after a Hun - who are themselves a Turkic people!

Self-loathing, much? Or just a hypocrite when it comes to throwing around accusations based on a nickname?

Mr.Oregon, you seem too tense here, for one thing I never insulted anyone, unlike you...

Atilla the Hun is as ironic as The Young Turks, don't you think so? No? That's what I thought

Be productive instead, provide some links to those rebuttals you were talking about. The bottoms line is if Cenk evolved from his denialist past or not. If he did it has to be explicitly mentioned somewhere and easily accessable.

Your POST is an insult.

Don't bother gathering all the facts, just rush headlong demanding explanations.

The only answer you deserve is "go to hell."

That all you got? The only facts Mr. Hun needs to gather are the words written not-so-very long ago by C. U. There is no burden on him to seek out a rebuttal.

To Tim: You seem way more interested in defending Cenk's sullied honor than determining whether he still believes the vile things he wrote. He is free to respond, though I don't want to read anything into his nonparticipation so far; I have no way of knowing if he even looks at these posts. Yes, he's no one's dancing monkey. But your willingness to do his dancing for him is not very dignified. Exactly what do you get out of it?

To those others who think Atilla is trying to blame Cenk for the historically factual Armenian genocide, or get him to apologize for actions that happened before he was born - you aren't paying attention. He merely wants Cenk to acount for things he said - he did say them, and if he stands by them today it does matter to some.

Please post your home address so I can come over and demand answers from you about something you wrote 10 years ago. Before I get there, I will post copies all over town with a demand for an explanation.

I won't ask a civilized question; rather, I will form it in an accusatory tone to put you on the defensive. It will be up to you to repeat your answer over and over whenever someone new walks by and sees one of the accusatory copies. By that time, I will be back home, having moved on to other things while you are stuck for years answering the same questions because those copies never go away.

Sound like fun to you?

I don't want to keep going around in circles here. You called Atilla's post accusatory, I don't see anything but neutrality. He even allows as how it seems quite likely that Cenk has changed his mind about the things he once wrote. He probably hopes so. I defend Atilla's right to ask about it. If it means Cenk has to keep answering the same question over and over - so sad! About something he wrote 10 whole years ago? Tender mercies! But he does sit behind that desk and ask us to listen to his views on a lot of topics, so I don't see why we're not allowed to check under the hood.
