Cenk Uygur to Run for President Against Biden

[Brainster]

I know, I know, who? He founded a group called the Young Turks, was an early blogger on the Huffington Post, and is a complete and utter moron.

Of course the fact that Cenk posted a lot at the early Huff and Puff means he's got a history that is going to require some explaining. Here's one where he stands up for a child rapist.

Did you know that there was another hot 37-year-old woman in Tennessee (she was a former model) who had sex with a 16-year old-boy? That's awesome. Of course, they gave her jail time for that, which is unconscionable. That's almost as bad as when Bush accidentally invaded Iraq.

It's a crime these days to make a young boy's dreams come true but not a crime to ignore federal laws against warrantless eavesdropping. Go figure. I'm just happy that the kid got laid before they locked the lady up.

Well, at least she was hot, I guess. But what Cenk misses is what if she wasn't? What if she was 37 and dumpy and ugly, but she was his teacher and could flunk him if he didn't give her what she wanted. She'd deserve to go to jail then I suppose? Sorry, you can't have one law for attractive people and another for those who got hit with the ugly stick.

So an historic comment is your core complaint?

No the core complaint is that he's a moron. The "historic comment" is one he made as a blogger at the Huff Po, not a commenter; bloggers were typically invitees of Arianna. He's not some unknown schnook, he makes frequent appearances on MSNBC and CNN. There's lots more out there; he is going to regret living such an online life.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

What do you mean, "who"? Pretty sure TYT is a common enough podcast and his name comes up in the news often enough that a lot of us on the forum know who he is.

None of them are morons. You need to look more closely at the podcast.

I sincerely doubt he'd actually run as a spoiler candidate.

 

[Apathia]

I'd sooner vote for Marianne Williamson.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

He's not running. This is a typical internet poe. Cenk was born in Turkey.

Might sound real and he may even have begun the process. The point is to get more of the Progressive message out.

 

[Apathia]

Alas, Marianne Williamson is running.

 

[Mojo]

No the core complaint is that he's a moron.

So he should be running against Trump?

 

[Ziggurat]

he is going to regret living such an online life.

Eh, probably not. That stuff might pose a problem in a general election, but he's never even going to get to that stage. He's not going to get any real traction because he's not an attractive enough candidate to break in from outside. And his actual audience is going to forgive him for that stuff. Hell, a lot of them probably don't even have any problem with all the stupid **** he's said over the years. So he'll be fine.

He is running, that site isn't a parody.

The citizenship issue is an obstacle I don't think he can overcome, but he claims he can. I have no reason to doubt that he actually thinks this.

If he does, tell him I'd sooner have the Austrian born guy.

 

[Ziggurat]

A mediocre Austrian artist obsessed with physical perfection getting into politics?

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[dudalb]

Alas, Marianne Williamson is running.

SHe will drain dozens of votes away from Biden.

It could go FUBAR.

[angrysoba]

It just seems to be a stunt to try and get some primary action going.

He is indeed a moron and someone who had to be dragged kicking and screaming by Ana Kasparian to admit that the Armenian genocide actually happened, after he first denied it, then said he took no position on it, then tried various other forms of dissembling before yelling that none of his critics care about the Armenian genocide anyway and getting indignant that other people don’t care about the genocide he denied happening until five minutes ago.

He’s a windbag who is only slightly less risible than his one-time ally and now enemy, Jimmy ******* Dore, who is risible and thoroughly detestable.

He's way worse than Cenk, basically just pandering to the internet left demographic who regard being compared to liberals as the biggest stain on their reputation. Do-nothing socialists just a peg more tolerable than the Dorites.

Cenk is a pretty reasonable guy on most areas. I hope he energizes young liberals and progressives.

One, Schwarzenegger isn't obsessed with getting into politics. Two, he's one of the great (commercial) artists of the late twentieth century.

They are all morons. The Fat Brown Buffalo, a.k.a. Cenk, had no clue that the 3 men Kyle Rittenhouse shot while defending himself during the BLM protests in Wisconsin were white – he thought they were black – until two weeks into the Rittenhouse trial.

He and the rest of the young turds spent months smearing Rittenhouse as a white supremacist without knowing that basic fact. None of his retarded minions knew it either or they were too cowardly to correct him.

 

[Stacyhs]

I agree that a moron should be corrected but his minions are too cowardly to do so.
