Cenk is a left wing hack, I watch his show every now and then to see what the grassroots libs are thinking.

i couldn't even listen to that show during the peak of my left-liberal/social-democrat phase.  i'm actually kinda surprised that it's still around considering how boring it was even by political talk radio standards.

Edit again: Turns out I DIDN'T misunderstand the thread, the OP was just being a sarcastic butthole. cheeky So here's the original post again:

I watched the show a few times but had to stop when I almost had a brain aneurysm from the stupidity. For example: taxing the rich 80%+ is beneficial for the economy because the government uses it to build infrastructure (and most certainly not to pay off their cronies)!

That's what I thought this thread was originally about.  I love the song.  I might have the cassette somewhere.

I had always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way. - Carl Jung, Man and His Symbols

Well, I'm thoroughly embarrassed. Forgive me, I misunderstood.

No that was the intention, I was feeling like quite the jokester earlier.  I always thought that was funny when you click on a thread and find out it is something different then what the title was and yet the title still fits.

 

There was a forum that I was on for a little while in the past I forget which one, people kept posting threads about mybrute.com, to a point where they made it a bannable offense.  And someone made the thread titled "mybrut", I find it to be mildly entertaining.

Aside from having all the problems that most of the media has, the show is so boring even for a show dedicated to politics.

Gah, I'm increasingly convinced Firefox needs a sarcasm detector. Nevermind, I put my original post back to the way it was.
