NewsBusters Says Cenk Made Anti-Reid Commercial (Accidentally)

Leftwing Talk Show Host Inadvertently Produces Campaign Commercial Against Harry Reid

"Does the host of the leftwing "The Young Turks" internet talk show, Cenk Uygur, realize that he has provided some really good reasons to defeat Harry Reid in November? I'm sure that wasn't his intent when Uygur went into some detail on the sad state of the Las Vegas economy which sure wasn't helped when President Obama openly discouraged  businesses from making trips there last year despite the fact that he had no problem visiting that city recently for fundraising purposes....One big question is how long will it be before Cenk Uygur's comments will appear in a Sharron Angle campaign video."

Its not cenk's (none / 0)
fault the guy is incompetent.

Sharon doesnt need cenk to speak the facts....so even if cenk is not used she has every rights to say those facts in her campaign vids.

I think this is a non-issue...cenk is not a demorcrat, as he says " they are not my uncle " :p

so... (none / 0)
the plan is to use Cenk's assessment that Las Vegas is going to be/is one of the first places to suffer financial collapse based on the economic state of the country as a whole, if not the world in general, to campaign against Harry Reid for not bringing home the bacon?

Teabagger logic indeed. Hey, any free publicity just keeps making the TYT army stronger.

Anti-Reid, maybe. (none / 1)
But not pro Angle, and that is an important note to remember.

How you can tell a terrible... (none / 0)

...political blog:  by the number of typos or mishearings in the quotes.  Not only does this blogger not listen to TYT at all (apparently under the guise that Cenk loves Harry Reid), but I count 4 mistakes in even quoting what Cenk SAID about Vegas, the basis for the blog in the first place.

  And yes, BTW, he doesn't seem to have heard too many of Cenk's comments about Ms. Angle either.  Or about the Conservative ideology when it comes to job creation.

Big surprise (none / 0)
Are you shocked that a conservative blogger would take selected quotes out of context to deliberately misinterpret the speaker's message?  This is chapter one of the Breitbart playbook.

No-no.... (none / 0)

As far as I saw, the quotes weren't out of context or edited.  They were just riddled with typos and poor dictation of his show.  This wasn't propaganda--this was just sloppy 6th-grade-level "Repeat after me" stenography.

It would be like my re-typing your post, in full context, by saying:

"Are you shoked that a conservative blogger would take selcted quotess out of context to deliberetely misinterxpret speak her's mess edge?  This is the chapter one off the Breitbatr playboozk."

Even if they do...does it matter? (none / 0)
Harry Reid isn't going to win.  He is a corporate sellout.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
