rec'd!

Jesse just PWNED Hasslebeck and Mod Mon just PWNED NYCgirl. DOUBLE PWNAGE!

Jesse challenged that skinny blonde tart wingnut for the moran that she is. WOO-HOO!!!!!

Hasselbeck is a skinny blonde tart but very far from wonderful like your delightful friend.

Have a doggone frabjous day! **wink** :hi:

and the other has shown her vast intellect by parroting the talking points of former pResident Numbskull and his evil sith lord. :eyes: You don't have to like either to choose who kicks butt here.

you are indeed correct :thumbsup:

I don't think a message is without merit just because you disapprove of the messenger. Ventura spoke the truth while Hasselbeck spewed her usual GOP provided talking points.

(...........GO WINGS.............)

It was really, really worth it. He was spot on!

Nice to see a verbal smack down whats-her-name. But no amount of smack downs will force the stupid out of her.

continuously make a fool of herself.

Ventura made some really good points, but she doesn't listen. You'd think she'd get tired of being the fool.

:hi:

:)

:hi:

liars, etc. I have high blood pressure and I tell myself - what is to be gained here by listening to this other than a spike in my BP and it ruining my morning - especially if I cannot do anything about it at th e moment. I don't need to hear it all to know how horrible she (they) is/are. I like to watch the videos about puppies, kittens, butterflies and Dick Cheney's indictment.

He has an ego the size of the moon, and won't listen to anyone who disagrees with him.

But he is right on this.

...long ago and Franken would have been seated by now.. :)

I'll take Jessee over 95 percent of the mealy-mouth politicians our country has at the present time.

The pressure for prosecutions cant let up, no matter what the distraction is being tossed around in the media. The subject should not and must not be buried.

And unfounded stupid snark is far too weak rooted a thing to matter. Mean people are never, ever correct about anything. They are too simple minded.

That will end the argument once and for all.

These GOPUKES sound like a bunch of whiny little kids on a playground that seriously need their asses kicked for the bullshit they keep regurgutating.

RAW

Wouldn't you rather see her in a steel cage match with Jesse?

same time. We can see who lasts the longest...

Now that is "Must See TV"!!

that "Nancy Pelosi should get Advanced Interrogation."

Sorry, I can't find the blinky link.

All Hasselbeck wanted to do was talk about Nancy Pelosi--which is a stupid red herring.

Yes, Pelosi lied. Just like Ventura said, they're all in on it. Dems and Rep.

The Republicans love to throw out, "Well hey, the Dems are in on this too" to kill the entire message.
They're hoping that the Dems sitting out in American will join in on the fight, stick up for Pelosi
and engage in a fight that distracts from the core issue: Our government tortures.

Are we that dumb? Are we that simplistic and partisan?

The Republicans are hoping so.

Every time you start talking about Bush/Cheney accountability for torture, they scream, "Nancy Pelosi!!!".

Ventura said the right thing. So what. She's in on it. They all are. What's your point?

As far as I know Pelosi did not lie in the least. What is this all about?

The point is that the policy that was PUT IN PLACE by Cheney and Bush (*NOT* Pelosi) was illegal, and these folks should go to jail for it. Now how complicit Pelosi was in covering up and going along with their actions is a separate issue, and if she's found to have been complicit in it, then let's take her down too. But just because a Dem's also involved doesn't mean the Rethugs can get off scot free Hasselback! She sounds like a petulant child screaming "Well Nancy did it too!!", as all Rethugs are when they get caught doing something wrong.

Kudos to Jesse. It's folks like Jesse that might be a threat in 2010 and 2012 if the Dems don't get their act together and stop being soft on these Rethuglicans at the expense of following our constitution or truly rescuing our country from its mess now.

If you get people like he, Paul Hackett, and other strong *NON-corporatist* moderates banding together that put out a true moderate message, they will be a threat next election, and I might just join a group like that, even if they don't have all of my left of center issues in lock step with mine. If they hit the important ones, like taking corporate America power DOWN, they'll get my vote then! Tearing out corporate power (public campaign financing, instant runoff voting, single payer healthcare, restore the middle class, etc.) is the necessary starting point to restoring a government that answers to the people (left or right of center). We need to fix that first, and it seems neither of the major parties is ready to do that yet! Dems should be, but if they aren't they WILL be vulnerable to someone like Ventura later (whether many here like him or not).

Who apparently believes she did lie, and it's somehow important.

Just because Pelosi might have been complicit and that might have explained her resistance to impeaching Cheney and Bush, doesn't make Cheney and the others LESS guilty of being the authors of these crimes.

Pelosi might be guilty of helping with the coverup, but that's a separate issue and we should look at it separately. But the priority first should be to pin down who was guilty of the crimes of torture. If you don't prosecute them or find them guilty, then how can you go after someone for lying about a "non-criminal offense"? First things first!

I still think if Pelosi had done the proper thing and put together articles of impeachment against these bums, they wouldn't have had a leg to stand on in accusing her of being "in on this". There's no way they could have made any such charges stick then. She's paying for her neglect now, and quite frankly many of us here don't feel much sympathy for her in this area.

"Logically", then torture is OK!


The GOP pundits are still quite unhappy with the fact that particular crisis was solved, and even less happy that Obama got some credit for it.

n/t

about what the last administration had done. Anytime anyone tried they were just ignored or flamed. Bush Co. did what they wanted when they wanted. That was their game plan for times like now when it comes out that congress was briefed. Now it's not about what they did then... it's about the fact that congress knew and didn't say anything... "Oh, look how bad Pelosi is", don't look back over there... keep looking at Pelosi... big distraction... :rant:

... he is speaking the truth, and speaking it powerfully when it comes to torture. I'm glad he's going on the talk-show circuit with this message.

He is one of the most credible people in the media right now speaking truth to power about torture, I support him fully.

Excellent, excellent work.

and he's right about this. Even a stopped clock, and all that...

He's mostly right, but also
self righteous.

...shut your fucking gob, once and for all!

but the man makes sensible arguments. There is none of the talking point bullshit you get with most politicians and pundits, and Ventura definitely has the best interests of the country - at least as he sees it - in mind. You don't have to agree with everything he says, but at least listen to him. A lot of times he makes sense, and he often makes the people with whom he disagrees look like idiots.

Where are the democrats other than Kucinich?

Maybe you should read some of his latest book "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me" before you call him a loon.

He's not Mr. Smooth and he doesn't try to be a talk-out-of-both-sides-of-his-mouth politician. We need more people like him standing up for US!!

Can't agree with that, but I do wonder where the other dems are besides Jessie and Kucinich. Just because someone in Congress didn't raise hell at the time, doesn't prevent them from standing up now for what is right.

Sad day when someone who tells it honestly is considered odd. Maybe that's a huge reason why we're in the mess we're in.

Tell me what it is he says that you think is looney. The media is great at framing Ventura in this manner, he has never said or written anything I have seen that could be constituted as looney. Just because he is somewhat unortodox (meaning he isn't like every other easy to read politician or pundit) he is painted as looney by the media. It's sad that people fall for it.

Why is this lightweight even allowed on the air? Its embarrassing... If Hasselbeck were ever waterboarded; (LOL) she'd be "concerned" about breathing; and not "concerned" about Nancy Pelosi

I don't mind her so much, you have to take her for what she is and what she's there for. She's fine when they have musicians and actors on etc, but she's way over her head on anything that takes some critical thinking. Which is pretty evident here.

The Republican embarrassment. If they only got embarrassed. :blush:

America has a strong anti-intellectual streak, and media and politicians prop up the line that everyone's opinions are equal and that intellectual accomplishment and special expertise are at best unnecessary and at worst signs of dreaded elitism and arrogance. So, having dopey teevee hosts validates dopey viewers, doubly dopey in the daytime slots.

But I'll give Ms. Hasselbeck a pass -- she's just doing her dopey daytime job, and more importantly she's as cute as the day is long. I mean, she's adorable. I might prefer if she were a better-versed righty, if a righty she must be, but really, she'd seem terribly out of place in dippy daytime teevee land if she arched her eyebrows learnedly and made trenchant remarks revealing a profound understanding of deep conservatives like Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn. The "Viewers" serve to make dopey ill-informer daytime teevee watchers feel adequate to judge on the great issues of the day, without really seeking an education.

"America has a strong anti-intellectual streak, and media and politicians prop up the line that everyone's opinions are equal and that intellectual accomplishment and special expertise are at best unnecessary and at worst signs of dreaded elitism and arrogance."

Each of the "good ol' boys" down at the local guitar store in my tiny town knows with absolute certainty that he is more intelligent, experienced and able than anyone in government. And, each can "quarterback" the Dallas cowboys better than the coach. Especially on Monday. After many years of attempting reasonable debate, I've quit trying to interject observations and counterpoints to broad brush statements such as "They're all crooks!" I know that any one of those friends would do whatever they could for me, and me for each of them. So, I merely opine, "You're fuller of tripe than the inside of a cow." Peace is thus maintained, but at the cost remaining starved for reasonable conversation.

Thank you for the clarity of your poignant statement.

"more importantly she's cute as the day is long." And a pass is given. Because adorable to many people out weighs all things, such as her open bigotry and contempt for minorities she does not like.
So all the high blown theory is also adorable, but no pass. She has a job because people prefer cute to correct. Because people still find her adorable even when she says horrid things. She's there because of the tingle, and the pass that is handed off due to the tingle.
The rest is great stuff for term papers, but media hires by the tingle. Some folks may need a paragraph to rationalize the tingle, but it still comes down to a pass for bein' adorable, a pass you'd not be giving to a non adorable woman or to a man with the same opinions.

It's a given that almost all daytime teevee hosts are going to be particularly vapid even by the usual network teevee standards (which takes some doing), so if at least a host is cute, that's a plus. It should be clear that this pass is so highly qualified as to be comical. Also, I have never once watched an episode of "The View" on the tube, but like many later catch an occasional replayed snippet or segment that others find notable.

She did it for money. She can't concieve that it would be torture to some, well maybe if you explained these guys weren't getting paid...and even then she'd tsk about their contracts and try to refer them to hollywood lawyers.

Stupid, ignorant, and "Oh! Look how cute I am." :puke:

there's nothing adorable about that vapid GOP whore piece of shit :puke:

:rofl:

He is rocking the house. Wow.

My question is, does Elizabeth Hasselbck have a single neuron of her own? How can anyone, no matter how stupid, call herself a Christian when she fiercely defends torture?

When all else fails, try to blame a Democrat for doing the same thing.

I still see no proof that Democrats did anything wrong.

but I love Jesse Ventura. Always did.

:) :)

repigs have a different response to being pwned than normal people do.

Instead of "I was wrong, I better rethink my position", it runs more along the lines of "I'm such a victim! WAAHHHH! Mommy! The dirty lib media is attacking me! WAAAHHH! It's not fair!!!"

i want to see Jesse V get real intense, i bet he will call Manatee out on his accepting to be water boarded for charity.Should be good i hope.
Is it his crappy show tonight or his crappy radio show today?

Go Jesse, wipe the floor with that ass-hat.

Wouldn't want Hannity to get the ratings.

Ventura vs. Hannity. I'm salivating just thinking about it.

:)

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

I'm hoping Ventura cracks a chair over his head!!

Cuz there's no way I would remember to turn to that propaganda filled show on my own!

Her voice and insane line of 'thinking' depress me. For her one, there are millions who 'think' like she does.

Answer why they didn't call for Bush/Cheney out since they lied. She goes on to talk about Hillary Clinton. All this grandstanding for the rule of law now that Bush is out is absolutely sickening. Calling for Pelosi to resign if SHE lied. LOL!

The GOP's simultaneously arguing that torture is good and that Pelosi's bad for supporting torture. Huh?

These people are inhuman. They're robots.

"'Enhanced interigaton techniques' is just Dick Cheney making up another word for torture." Preach it brother! K&R!

Oh, snap!

about time...

RL

:evilgrin:

confessing to the Sharon Tate murders."

There's a reason why there's an expletive which almost perfectly rhymes with Hasselback ...

Jesse: "If I was President, I'd put them all in jail."

Preach it! Happy to rec

How in the hell do people tune every day to watch that nitwit?

I would rather jab ice picks into my ears than have to listen to her for five minutes.

So now Hasselbeck is promoting 'future' torture crimes...

Excerpt:

"The View's" Elizabeth Hasselbeck joked that Nancy Pelosi should undergo enhanced interrogation on Fox News' "Huckabee" this past Saturday.

Hasselbeck: "It's certainly disappointing, I think to try to diminish or intelligence agencies... And you know whether she's lying or not - I don't know. Maybe she needs to a little enhanced interrogation to figure it out... I'm just throwing it out there!"

:kick:

I'd vote for him. Because if the democrats let this slide. I'm done! This just too damned corrupt for me. I can not be apart of this in any way shape or form. The only thing that could possibly be more corrupt than what Bush & Cheney have done is letting them get away with it. It's really that simple.

He has his good points, and I certainly appreciate them, but as a governor he pretty much sucked. He has a HUGE ego, and does not play well with others.

I'm delighted that he's speaking out on the torture issue, but make no mistake, Jesse is always about Jesse first and foremost. He's doing this as much for the fact that it buys him attention as he is for "principle".

sw

politicians to know that some of us actually want the country to follow the rule of law.

his answer. What is wrong with Jesse? He certainly sounds good to me.

because you can't even be a rwtool if you can't keep talking without stopping for breath.

And, to have Jesse Ventura as a former Seal tell miss, I parrot hannity, hasselblech just how it is..is PRICELESS.

in the media speaking clearly and intelliegently about this issue?

waterboarded..so he has the street cred..and he can talk over rwshills who usually do the talking over.

When Dan announced Jesse Ventura I was unenthused, but the Governor who ain't got time to bleed was horribly disgusted by the Bush administration, he said it was the worst he'd seen in his lifetime. He clearly hates anybody who signed off on torture and called it shameful, so I found out that for the first time ever I was agreeing with nearly everything Jesse Ventura said.
So I was wondering what it would take for Jesse and I to get on the same page, and, well, there ya go.

attempt to discourage it?

Yet he did stress that he's a lower case libertarian, and conceded that regulation was required for an effective free market. So he doesn't seem unreasonable. At least that's a little better than I usually get from the libertarian crowd who loves RONPAUL RONPAUL RONPAUL!!!

some place(can't find the link now) with hasselbeck telling huckabee that "Nancy Pelosi should get Advanced Interrogation".

When is that idiot going to step in so deep that The View requires her to bone up on some brain food?

im not a huge fan of jesses, but i do respect the guy for educating himself and going out of his way to get enlighten himself to new ways of thinking...

hes one of the few independent people i actually believe when they say they are independent ;)

NOT PWNED!!!

typos become popular web slang although unpronounceable non-words, except for maybe in Poland or Belarus. 'Teh' is annoying as well.

I like Jesse because he always speaks truth to the knuckleheaded talking heads. I never miss him on Larry King Live, and I'm glad he put her straight.

As a govermental leader, The Body showed me nothing, but as an Independent tell it like it is media pimp, he is good.

Bravo, JV, B-R-A-V-O.

*courtesy of the Sociopathic Former President aka Shrub.

Now get off my fucking lawn, youngster!

NOT DAMIT!

:evilgrin:

and I was laughing the whole time because she sounded like such an idiot.

If she didn't see it coming, she shouldn't have said anything.

Perfect, fucking perfect.

Haseelbeck is such a fucking loser. She really needs to shut up already.

Haseelbeck is such a tool!

It's not her viewpoints - which are abhorrent and completely devoid of any logic or scrutiny - that cause my disbelief. It's that she's such an empty vessel and cannot defend any position she takes.

Pwning EH is no accomplishment, but don't let that diminish the truth Jesse Ventura speaks. Like Dennis Kucinich, he does not shrink for anyone. Anyone - let alone a politician - who would issue the following quote doesn't pander to anyone:

"Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live."

Amen to that.

she's not alone. Sherri Shepard has said some pretty dumb things too.

Ventura just showed you how to fight.

Watch Ventura handle Hannity. He bitchslapped him over and over.
Maybe Jesse can give lessons to our media Dems.

Gah. She is disgusting.

Amazing anyone could hold their temper around such a hippocritical idiot.

And SHE's supposed to be holy-er than thouw.

ignorant blond twit. So glad he does not give her an inch...

However, the resulting cognitive dissonance after Joy's valid question and trying switch the topic to Pelosi was really frustrating. At least the question was brought to people's minds on national TV, though, whether Hassleblaaaargh answered it or not.

She's clearly been trained well by Rove and/or his minions.

:kick: & R

It's not to contribute to discussions with sound logic. She's not a coherent debater. Just as the 900 pound fat lady at the circus isn't an agile trapeze artist.

Hasselbeck doesn't entetain with her talents. She is the crude circus freak. She entertains by flaunting the unabashed absurdity of her simple existence.

Jesse Ventura needs a haircut, though. That's just bad hair.

and cut that stuff off. Listen up, men, when your hairline starts at the crown of your head a la Michael Bolton, Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, and Stevie Wonder, it's time to

Let.

It.

Go.

No pony tails, no shoulder length, no braids with beads, no trimming the sides into a crew cut, and all that other stuff. You ain't got to go get no hairpiece, no implants--

Go bald, okay.

My man Daniel Craig (ditto Lance Armstrong) has a hairline still somewhere around his forehead, albeit that it is swiftly narrowing.
But the others need to

Let.
It.
Go.

Just--let. it. go.

Haven't always been a fan of Jesse but this was awesome.
And he's right..

Hasselbeck spews rightwing talking points. That's all she does. She obviously doesn't understand how to think for herself and Jessie owns her because of it.

Ventura made too much sense for Hasselbeck, but she just keeps on insisting!

But I suppose it's her job to play devil's advocate.

Elizabeth is such an airhead. She simply repeats every Reich Wing talking point word for word. Maybe the view could have Rush Limbaugh as a regular. It would be the same as Elizabeth except he wouldn't be as attractive.

Someone should take away her GOP Talking Points Cliff's Notes and make her prove she knows what she's talking about.

"The View" should simply stop giving her a soapbox in which to spew her stupidity!

But they realize that her stupidity probably accounts for half of the audience wanting to see what stupid thing Elisabeth will say today.

My point is, you can tell she's just parroting the lines without fully understanding what it is she's spewing.

If you wish to say "OWNED" just say it!! I'm finding these "cutsie" little variations like spelling typos of an English word quite annoying and very stupid. Now get off my fucking lawn!! Otherwise, great video!!

That was quite exquisite. One thing I notice about people in the West is that so many speak about things they are not qualified to speak about. They usually come off better in exchanges/debates by the sheer amount of talking they do and an insistence that they are right. However, as Jesse Ventura just showed, blowhards never come out on top when when they come up against people who know what they are talking about as they shine a mirror to their own stupidity and the blowhard does not like what they see.
Kudos to you, Jesse, kudos.

that Republicans are the American Taliban.

Damn is that woman thick.

watching Jesse roaring out the obvious to these idiots. Even though he's weird, he doesn't back down, interrupts, and doesn't qualify responses. He's gotta drive right wingers crazy because he is imposing and speaks so directly.

Great stuff.

:wtf:

Wtf does that even mean?

/facepalm
