Cenk a little homophobic? | 30 comments (30 topical, 0 hidden)
agreed (none / 0)
"that's gay"  is so last month. But I would have to add that despite Cenk professing to be a friend of the LGBT community, there is a certain underlying uneasiness. He is not casual about his support , its forced. What I mean to say is, Cenk doesn't seem comfortable with LGBT's , but feels he has to support the community because it is the right thing to do.

Either way, his support is appreciated I have no doubt.

Have you videos of Cenk discussing these issues?

Better yet, did you read his recent article on it that has around 70,000 views and 700 comments at Huffington Post?

Yes I have read his recent article on Huff Po (none / 0)
In my opinion the article is more about the hypocrisy of the religious right than it is about gay rights. In any event I think he would defend gay rights.

Have you seen his several videos (none / 0)
discussing prop 8 and marriage equality?

Part of his argument is regarding the religious right, but another (huge) part of it is his argument that it's a civil rights issue.

There a couple good clips in this list.

Ken, stop!  You're shaking the foundation of my entire life!  Black is white, up is down!  Stop the madness!  This must be what it felt like for you when Rush told you that he was totally full of shit.

Fake Republican Criticism (none / 0)
Republicans always criticize AFTER the fact, when it's too late *or* popular to do so.

The best example of a lack of criticism of Bush year after year after year. He got a 90%+ free pass for the first 5 years or so.

And the few times he was criticized from popular conservative media figures it was on no-brainer issues, again, when it was very easy to do so.  These fuck-faces shut up and fall in line until it's too late, unlike Cenk who has pissed off many a progressive for being honest and critical even when it's unpopular.

Snerdly is with me. (none / 0)

Rush is saying that he's been LYING to you to keep Republicans in power.  That's a completely different thing than saying that Democrats should be stronger.  Limbaugh is essentially saying that he doesn't base his show on what he actually believes, because it sounds like he believes that Bush has been fucking up for the past four years (or six years now), but he never seemed to want to tell his audience that. 

This is emblematic of something larger, where the difference between liberals and conservatives is really stark.  Libs want to have actual debates where we take all of the sides and points into account, even ones that disagree with us.  Cenk does it all the time.  Democrats do it all the time, and exploiting that is the reason that Republicans have gotten away with so much bullshit in the past.  But conservatives, on the other hand, just want to win, no matter what.  Deny that anything they've ever done was wrong,  stick their fingers in their ears and yell over your opposition, lie, cheat, steal, whatever.  Just win.  Go team!

How it felt (none / 0)
Probably the same way it felt to you when Cenk said he didn't approve of the tactics of Reid and Pelosi in 2007.

I 100% agreed with him.

See, we aren't hardcore ideologues like you folk are.  We can admit deviance from the party line.

Turns out diversity is our strength.  Funny.
