Vote for The Young Turks (Once Each Day) on the Audience Choice Voting Poll at www.vote.streamys.org/ (3/22/10 through 4/11/10)!

Summary: This video is from the http://www.youtube.com/user/TYTInterviews|TYT Interviews channel> (check it out for interviews with Michael Moore, Jesse Ventura and members of Congress). Cenk debates conservative talk show host/Fox contributor Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson makes absurd and offensive arguments about how the majority of African Americans are lazy and immoral. He also makes laughable arguments about how the entire liberal agenda is immoral and that white liberals secretly want to keep black people down. Many people insist they want a civil debate and this qualifies, but I honestly wish Cenk had been tougher on Peterson at times. Finally, if someone wants to give a better summary, feel free.

1. Wow, denial...

There is a backstory here if ever there was one...

[The Wielding Truth]

2. OMG! Peterson is taking government money to preach self-sufficiency!

3. My rant

First of all Democrats are not pro-abortion, we are PRO-CHOICE. Big difference. Also, most pro-choice folks are in favor of preventing unwanted pregnancies which will reduce abortions. People/politicians/pundits on TV that use the word pro-abortion instead of pro-choice really tick me off! Also, Obama has never advocated letting live births via abortions die.
Secondly, to allow gay marriage/unions -- is taking the government OUT of people's bedrooms and takes the government OUT of controlling people's lives.

Jesse Lee Peterson is only 60 years old but seems to me to have more of an attitude/outlook like some older folks I've listened to.

4. I think the good reverend's father may have been a character on "The Boondocks"

7. Yeah, Cenk compared him to Uncle Ruckus last week, fittingly. n/t

6. Peterson is a victim of

a Faux RW misinformation campaign. The idea that Democrats perpetuate black poverty so they can control them is absurd. It is only another piece of RW propaganda.

Like Cenk suggested, there are poor single parent homes in the white community just as there are in the black community, even more.

Peterson should be awarded a PHD in right wing talking points on race. I wonder if he has been invited to speak at a KKK meeting.
