Al Gore, Proud? Current TV Promotes Uygur Calling O'Reilly a 'G--damn Nazi'
Both TV Newser and TV Week have picked up on Al Gore-led Current TV’s campaign to “distinguish” itself in cable talk by promoting a clip of Cenk Uygur, the MSNBC-refugee host of “The Young Turks,” attacking Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday night as a “g–damn Nazi.” This might match the Current motto of “Politically Direct,” but it’s not correct.
“All right, before I go to my panel, let me just level Bill O’Reilly,” boasted Uygur, like a guy who’s had too many drinks at the end of the bar.
“First of all, it’s you right-wingers who try to hurt people and their families," he claimed, "by killing them, by bombing abortion clinics, et cetera. You’re the one with the right-wing extremist terrorists on your side.”
The controversy was over the leftist group Color of Change, and how they’ve drummed up corporations into dropping their funding of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The group is also well-known for its fire-the-TV-conservatives campaigns, such as “MSNBC: Fire Pat Buchanan!” and “Goodbye, Glenn Beck!” and “Fire Eric Bolling.”
O’Reilly told guest Laura Ingraham that Color of Change seeks to hurt people who disagree with their party line and said founder Van Jones wouldn’t come on his show because “he doesn't want to have to explain the fascist tactics of Color of Change. And I say fascist because this is what the totalitarian regimes do.”
Uygur protested: "So don’t talk to me about Color of Change, that actually, who actually wants to help minorities in the country, want to hurt you and your family. That’s made up.” Made up? Seconds later, he boasted Color of Change “ran Glenn Beck out of town.” That wasn’t a plus for the Beck family.
Uygur then threw his Nazi tantrum: “Before that, I showed you another part of that clip where he talked about Color of Change and these groups are fascist. All right, you want to play name-calling games, Bill? No problem. You are a goddamn Nazi. That’s what you are, OK? You’re going to call us fascists all day long, and we’re not going to respond? Well, those days are over, Nazi.”
PS: Uygur also “distinguished” himself on Wednesday by telling Ted Nugent he would “run and cry to Mommy and poop in your pants.”
PPS: Perhaps Current TV should remember Al Gore being honored for his book The Assault on Reason (as excerpted in Time) that "The world of television ... makes it virtually impossible for individuals to take part in what passes for a national conversation."

Boring
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Thu, 04/19/2012 - 2:42pm.
Fifth tier common taters saying nasty things about talk show hosts just to try and get some blow-back and a mention on the show they are criticizing is getting to be beyond boring. If O'Reilly takes the bait, I'll hold him in even lower regard then I do now.

Proud they ran Glen Beck out of town? How? Through threats? Violence?
Color of Change is one of the reasons I have a subscription to GBTV. I want to support free speech, because Roger Ailes, as well as Coke, Pepsi, and a myriad of others don't support free speech if it's on the right.
I hope Gore continues to fund Current TV, because he deserves to lose every cent he's got.

... so bad that while on Current, Olbermann, YES, OLBERMANN, refused to do a lead-in to Cenk's show (which followed Olby's) OR let him ever guest-host Countdown.
Cenk is a rare example of sucking at both ends of the Sucky Spectrum.

One second later:

Uygur also “distinguished” himself on Wednesday by telling Ted Nugent he would “run and cry to Mommy and poop in your pants.”
Tell you what Cenk, Sweaty Teddy would tear your ass off and hand it to you, you whiny little punk. Pretty much ANY conservative would, man OR woman. You're about as tough as a Barbie Doll, hiding out behind your cameras and microphones. Talk smack to Ted Nugent's face. THEN we'll see what you're made of (although we pretty much already do - wet hankies and stomped panties filling a flatulent meat-bag)...

Nazi-the liberal PC Correct "N" word
Submitted by ForeverOnTheRight on Thu, 04/19/2012 - 3:14pm.
These liberals have no clue what a Nazi is and they fling it around calling conservatives the "N" word like the know what the word means. Their ignorance is appalling. Let me give them a little political tutorial here. The Nazi party was a socialist fascist party. The "word" Nazi is actually am acronym for Nationalist Socialist Party. The political system called Socialism is on the left on the political spectrum. You can’t call a right wing conservative a Nazi, they two terms are polar opposites on the political spectrum, idiot!
Exactly correct!
Submitted by AFVet on Thu, 04/19/2012 - 4:54pm.
Nazi were socialists who dabbled with fascism. Left-wing Socialists and Fascists, like Communists, believe in the state over the individual, that is the opposite of right-wing conservatives and libertarians who believe in the individual over the state. And it is these leftists who believe in large controlling governments, totalitarianism, control of capitalism/industry, and the belief in a dictatorial or supreme leader. Which is the opposite of the right that believes in small limited government, limited regulation on businesses, free markets, states rights, and a Representative Republic. It always comes down to the left wanting control of the populations versus the right believing in freedom and individuals rights.

Current TV has been blocked from my home since it's inception. As is MSNBC.
And Cenk...Beck leaving NYC and re-locating to Texas has probably been a HUGE boon to his family, his peace of mind and his income.
I also strongly suspect that the ratings for FoxNews in the 5:00pm time slot have dropped precipitously from what they enjoyed when Beck owned that timeslot. I tried to watch "The Five" but it is terrible.

I do not understand all the noise.
We are talking about a 4th rate program on a 6th rate network with a total viewership that would not fill the adverage American living room. A no name and know nothing guy throws some stink out for attention and he gets it from the net. The attention that he has gotten just from this site has probably doubled the amount of labotimized viewers for his show, from 12 to maybe 25. Ignore the mentally defective, let them rant to the empty air.
He works for Al Gore so youknow that there is nothing happening between his ears. My only hope is that this low/no close zombie has not reproduced and there is still time to put clorine in the gene pool and maybe the next generation will have less problems dealing with reality.

You mean Shank Carbunkle is still around?? Who knew??? I figured this 'young Turd...........whoops, I mean Turk', had been shipped back to his native land to do weather reports or something. I'm sick of these foreigners, and especially these moooooooooooooslem foreigners, getting hired over here by the touchy-feely MSM in order to give them some acceptance of being 'multi-culteral'.............when every one of these carpetbagger hires is an America-hating socialist/communist/statist/progressive who has it a LOT better here than they EVER did in their own f**ked up country!!!
Oh, and this punk-ass prick made a snide remark about Ted 'the Motor City Madman/Badman'??? Live on TV - during his own show??? Well, first of all, I doubt seriously that ol' Ted heard it - becuase who watches Shank's show anyway?? But, second of all, Ted WILL hear about it..............and I wouldn't want to be in Shank's shoes if Ted decides to even up the score - either verbally or physicall, or BOTH!!! Shank doesn't have the balls or the brains to compete with Nugie.................and the only way he'll be able to defend himself is to strap a 'homicide vest' on and go out in a blaze of 'praise Allahs' and 'ah sallam ah lick'um laters'!!!! Cause he WILL get a dirty licking!!!
Cenk
Submitted by wdvander on Fri, 04/20/2012 - 9:31pm.
Cenk, really that is the name his mommy gave him? He is an American success story. His media career started out in his mommy's basement on a show much like Wayne's World. Then he was promoted to MSNBC, but eventually replaced by Al Sharpton(?) Now, he has replaced Keith Obermannnnn and is lead in for the former governor of New York, Eliot Spitter. Speaking of whom, you would figure he would be headed over to the Secret Service now that he has discovered they have a very thorough fringe benefits package, including special programs for international travel.
