Summary: Cenk breaks down down the crazy from right wing pollster Frank Luntz on how Republicans can kill financial form by watering it down and pretending that letting the banks screw us more is the right way to go. Not only that, but the memo explains how to make it seem like Dems are in bed with the banks and that Republicans are the populists in favor of the middle class. At the end Cenk poses the question on if the Dems actually want reform themselves (watch the video to see why).

(If that's even possible)

4. 'bout sums it up, don't you think? n/t

[kma3346]

5. Wow! He nailed it once again!

I just started listening to Cenk and the Young Turks a couple of months ago. I wish our people in Congress had HALF the smarts and integrity that he has. Recommended highly!

[jgraz]

6. Why does the MSM pretend stuff like this doesn't exist?

I guarantee you, no major news outlet will cover this.

[alllyingwhores]

14. Uhmm...because they're owned, the same as the Obama admin...and 99% of the corporate whores in...

...Congress...whow you think?

[grahamhgreen]

27. As Cenk said, they're either fools, or complicit.

[Larry Ogg]

7. Ignorance is the facade of complicity

that's why they work so hard at acting like their trying to fix all the bad laws and legislation that should be abolished; and when things get worse, they just repeat the process of acting like their trying fix it, and the only thing that gets accomplished is that we the sheepeople go deeper into the hole of no return...

10. This is a great observation and one that needs to be proliferated and discussed on DU.

8. This son-of-a-bitch is not only trying to kill a bill, he's contributing to the destruction of

democracy. The fucker is joining his pals (personal ass lickers) to destroy America, and the democrcay outlined in the Constitution. LIARS are destroying, if not have already destroyed America. We are fucking done if we do not take them down and expose their bullshit. Thanks for caring Ihavenobias.

12. You best be reading Skinner's post re civility! Those are fighting words, provacateer.

[hulka38]

15. It's provocateur. You call Cenk a son of a bitch, fucker, ass licker who wants to destroy

America and then demand civility. You're a caricature.

[lonestarnot]

16. You are apparently an idiot.

[hulka38]

18. Another example of the civility you're trying to promote.

"Them's fightin words" - were you threatening me?

[lonestarnot]

21. You called me a pug thug.

And you call that civility here at DU or are you forgetting where you are here in cyberspace?

[hulka38]

25. I just think there should be an exception if it's undeniably true

[lonestarnot]

17. Where did my fucking post say Cenk of all fucking people was a son of a bitch, fucker ass licker.

Did you even watch the video nutball?

[hulka38]

19. You were calling somebody that. You're really a civil guy!

[lonestarnot]

20. Yeah and had you watched the video, you would not make ignorant assertions. Well maybe you wouldn't

:P

[lonestarnot]

22. And you are a mousekateer?

[earcandle]

9. What is the excuse for not putting Glass Stegal back in regulatory law?

And not prosecuting those who took it out? 

[demi moore]

23. a chess game that started well before 2009

by the end of bushs first term, the whole planet hated bush. i remember when osama bin laden came to aid his re-election... i remember Andrew Veal..

i would bet money that the crash was done on purpose. they knew they were going to lose, so they took every cent of money they could borrow and print and stashed it until they regain power (money is power right?). what cenk described is the only thing the republicans CAN do. they already know they have to vote no.. so now they have to use the propagana network to convince the the people that this is part of the communist/fascist takeover.

this is all leading upto a 2010 lanslide for republicans. (now that AIG and citigroup can spend all that bailout money on them)


his name was Andrew Veal, his name was Andrew Veal.

24. Just like health reform - neither dem nor rep leadership want real reform -nt

[grahamhgreen]

26. MUST WATCH VIDEO!!!!!!¡¡

[valerief]

28. Thanks, Cenk, for saying the C word--Complicity!!! That's why only

revolution will clean out our dirty Congress.

[20score]

29. K&R. Complicit is my guess. No one on earth can be as weak as they pretend to be, and only a

Beckerhead can be that stupid.

[Cowpunk]

30. K&R Brutal truth. Absolutely brutal.

[democracy1st]

31. K & R

[theFrankFactor]

32. Excellent! K&R

[ooglymoogly]

33. Best analysis for a long while.

"The pugs made me do it"; Excellent! If they are fools, they are fooling their constituencies all the way to an offshore bank account, while indenturing the American people into "company town" slavery and destroying the Democratic party. They are only playing the village idiot; All the indications are that, that is also part of the fraud on their constituencies and the American people. It is not the Democratic party any more, it is the "Republican lite" party sporting a D after its name; Yes there are a few Democrats of the people being pounded to nothing in congress, but they are far outweighed by DLC and Dino's; They are not given any important chairs, as in Max Baucus and Joe Lie-berman to name a few; Witness losing every important battle waged by the "Democrats" or just winning a completely meaningless, gutted and gutless bill with escape clauses in the fine print; It has been a carefully staged, "grandstand when you must", to keep your base in check, (knowing the Dem traitors and the, "the pugs made me do it", will have your back when you, inevitably, don't keep your word and slink away murmuring "the pugs made me do it", so as not to take any blame which might doom your next election. It is nothing but one huge extravaganza of a kabuki dance and we are not privy to its backroom staging. We have become irrelevant because of those many who believe anything, no matter how hokey, laughable, transparent and impossible, the tube tells them. Propaganda tells that we are a big tent. However there is one sure test of what a democrat is and what a Republican is by their philosophies; Are they for and of the people, or are they of and for the corporations.? That will tell you who fits into "big tent" of the Democratic party.

34. "The only other explanation is...

Its ALL a FRAUD!
The Democrats don't want reform either."

With the exception of a handful of Democrats from the Democratic Wing who have been totally marginalized by the "Centrist" Party leadership,
I'm beginning to believe this is the case.
