WooHoo! Cenk is spanking some douchebag from World Nut Daily.

[gateley]

The CLAIMS to be a legit journalist as opposed to MSNBC and the "Soros-backed" Media Matters! :rofl:

The guy won't acknowledge that O's Birth Cert is legit until they "examine it", Cenk says "You've had all day!"

[dkf]

1. That was a blast!

Now he is redefining a natural born citizen. Oh gosh I was rolling.

[earthside]

2. I love Cenk's "Crazy Train" ...

All aboard!

Choo! Choo!

He made Joseph Farrah look like the lunatic that ... actually he really does look like a lunatic with the gray hair and the dark brown mustache and eyebrows.

The MSNBC shows have been just great this afternoon -- I've been quite amused at the drubbing the teabaggers and birthers are receiving at the hands of Matthews and Ugar.

[malaise]

4. That was great n/t

[CatWoman]

7. that shit was too funny

I'm still laughing about it.

ALL ABOARD!! :rofl:

[undeterred]

3. unrecced for use of "douchebag" which is obnoxious and sexist

[scheming daemons]

5. ....but completely accurate in this case

[DontTreadOnMe]

6. +1 rec for using the word "douchebag"

I think the word aptly fits in this case.

[CatWoman]

8. and I added another

:)

[jillan]

9. And I added another. It's a perfect word to describe these people.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. moi aussi. j'aime beaucoup le mot ''douche.''

Vive la France!

ahhhh haaaaa; looky here....first thing that came up when I googled
'douchebag of liberty'

it came from.....

DU!!!!

[Flashmann]

12. Rec

Another rec for douchebag.....

[gateley]

13. Welcome to DU! (Un-hide your profile, I'm only guessing you're new here.) nt

[gateley]

11. I feel I can use the term since I use the item, being a (non-sexist) woman. nt

[undeterred]

14. So its not ok to offend transgender people at DU but its fine to offend women.

Don't even bother trying to explain that to me.

[gateley]

17. I'm a woman and I'm not offended which is why I used the word. You don't speak for

all of us, as evidenced by some of the rec's.

[undeterred]

25. No, I speak only for myself.

But its amazing how many people would rather I not speak at all when I voice my opinion on this.

Lots of hostility on a difference of opinon over a word.

[gateley]

29. You're right - you're entitled to your opinion. I over-react when I think someone

is accusing me of being sexist (on DU, for some reason, a lot of people seem to think I'm a guy --probably because of my language
:7). Sorry if I offended you - really.

[Liberal Veteran]

15. I wish there were a way to unrec a post.

I think the term douchebag (which by definition is an inanimate object that is neither male nor female gender, much like like saying a doorknob is sexist) is perfectly appropriate and it is obnoxious to scream "sexist" where none was intended or implied.

[undeterred]

20. I think its pretty clear that the intended meaning is feminine

and that it wouldn't make sense to use it as an insult if it were not.

And if you find yourself so upset that another DUer has a difference of opinion over the use of a word that you would disallow her the right to be offended, then I question whether you are really tolerant enough to call yourself a 'liberal'.

[Liberal Veteran]

23. Talk to the gender-neutral hand.

I'll save my outrage for things that have meaning.

[dionysus]

26. ok then. he's a colostomy bag.

[undeterred]

28. Now that would be gender neutral and insulting.

Although I suspect someone who depends on a colostomy bag because they needed a bowel resection or have inflammatory bowel disease wouldn't find it so funny. :shrug:

[chemp]

30. I prefer "Douche Nozzle" actually

It's found in the tilt of the neck...

[spooky3]

16. He just got Ron Paul to say some pretty wild stuff.

I always enjoy watching intelligent people with spine.

[gateley]

19. Cenk was outstanding with both of them. Too many of the "hosts" ask the question

and move on to the next one once they receive a response. They don't LISTEN and they don't ENGAGE. Cenk just keeps getting better. :7

[spooky3]

22. Agree. Or, like Tweety, they talk over the guest.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. I wonder if it was the same sack of Summer's Eve that I heard on the BBC this morning. nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

21. Will WND come up with the $15,000 it promised

to give to the hospital where Obama was born?

I wouldn't bet on it.

[Gabi Hayes]

24. one of the most virulent scuz buckets you could ever want to encounter

"The Vincent Foster Factory"

1996, Columbia Journalism Review published an article called "The Vincent Foster Factory," detailing the role played by Joseph Farah, then head of the Western Journalism Center, in promoting conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Clinton White House counsel Vince Foster. It states:

One of the Center's major activities is trying to inject the dark view of Foster's death into mainstream reporting and thinking. Last year, to this end, the Center bought full-page ads in several major newspapers, including The New York Times, to showcase Ruddy's work and to offer for sale special Vince Foster reports, including a compilation of Ruddy's stories, titled "The Ruddy Investigation," for $12, and a forty-minute "riveting new video documentary" titled "Unanswered -- The Death of Vincent Foster," which Ruddy helped produce, and which goes for $35

Sound familiar? That's the same playbook -- promotion, conspiracies and selling trinkets to true believers -- Farah is running against Barack Obama on the birth certificate conspiracy.

As he did back then, Farah insisted his work isn't partisan. In 1996, Farah claimed the WJC was merely "a vigorous watchdog on government"; on July 29, he asserted that "this is not a left-right issue. This is not a conservative-liberal issue. This is not a Democrat-Republican issue. This is not an ideological issue. This is a matter of what's true and what's not."

31. WingNut Daily Is A Major Scam...

Thank you for bringing back the WJC...which was funded by Richard Mellon-Scaife who is the money behind Wingnut Daily. That's the drill...start a rumor/conspiracy, pepper the corporate media through books (pushed up the best seller lists by bulk buys) hate radio and talking heads on the cables. In the 90s this was just getting off the ground, today its a "mighty wurlitzer" that has spread all sorts of lies and distortions.

Farrah is one of the biggest slime buckets and a regular on C-SPIN and sadly gets credibility with the stenographer crowd so that when someone like a Cenk takes him down (and it was a joy to see that) it's seen as being "partisan" rather than exposing a fraud.

Cheers...

27. Recced for Cenk and appropriate use of douchebag.
