In this uncut video you see Ana Kasparian fat shaming Alex Jones, swearing at him, and also another member of the Young Turks (Jimmy Dore) spitting on Alex Jones. Very entertaining video.

Don't feel like watching the video but The Young Turks are aggressively idiotic, especially Jimmy Dore. Dude is dumb as nails and has no class, a fatal combination.

Alex Jones is an idiot and deserving of nobody's respect and he walked on somebody else's set uninvited. Only reasons conservatives like him is he hates Obama. But before then there were liberals too that liked him because he hated Bush. Alex's whole shtick I'd he thinks everyone in power is part of some grand conspiracy with the Illuminati, Free Masons, and interdimensional reptilian shapeshifters, and we're all living in the Matrix.

TYT and Alex Jones are both twats of varying degrees but there's nothing wrong with fat shaming.

Okay. Ended up watching the video. A fucking mess. Alex Jones and the other person started it by walking in on their set, but The Young Turks, as usual, don't know how to act like adults and properly diffuse the situation.

Ana Kasaparian is sexy tho.

I don't think anybody is saying that nutty Alex Jones is deserving of anybody's respect. But The Young Turks didn't need to act the way that they did.

I've always wondered if Alex Jones is actually insane or sort of Andy Kaufman performance genius making a megaton of money out of youtube.

I mean Jones did come in and bum rush their show with the intent of setting them off. While the whole ordeal makes me think primarily of the fight in Anchorman (which gets me to laugh at both groups being idiots), I can't really come up with a reason to take Alex's side.

Same with Cenk Uygur, who made Sarah Palin look smarter than him.

Well, that was rude.

Cenk's a cuck and Alex is a snake oil selling nut. That was hilarious though.

He sounds like someone who just left their first day of an ethics class, and thinks because they heard the term cultural relativism, they know how the world works. His stupidity is aggressive, and wrapped in a sanctimonious sheet. He;s stupid even for the regressive Turks.

Alex Jones is a crazy person to, dont get it twisted.

The far left love and watch TYT. And you know what? that of some grand conspiracy with the Illuminati, Free Masons is not wrong. That shows how minded closed you are. Or maybe you forgotten that Bush is part of the Skulls and Bones society?

Neither side appeals to me.

But if Ana Kasparian thinks that Alex Jones is a "fat f*ck", then what does she think of her own co-presenter, Cenk Uygur? He's more corpulent than Alex Jones is.

I love how TYT always play the moral superior intellectuals, and they're screaming "You fat ****!" at a member of the media, a community they share with him.

I like when he has Islam brought up to him in a complex, nuanced way, and he goes "Dwaaaawaaah religion!!" And that's his argument.

Could have had a lighthearted exchange about Ana's sexiness but you just had to go into teh feminist rant for like the millionth time. Don't you guys ever get tired of it?

Admiring AJ and being logical are mutually exclusive subjects.

Sorry to say but the fact you can't distinguish this just goes to show the limits of your cognitive ability.

Must be salty because AJ is admired by many thousands of people and nobody really knows or cares who you are.

Based on the thickheaded way you generally present yourself, you don't really have room to talk about anybody's cognitive abilities.

But anyway, you'll notice that logical people typically don't admire lunatics. Logical people usually admire people who think about the things they say and don't just spout off any old garbage. You don't value logic. You value unconventional thinking regardless of its actual value.

Why in the world would any self-respecting person want to be admired by the people who listen to/admire Alex Jones? If someone of your ilk admired me, I would have to do some intense soul-searching. Not to mention that I don't want to be famous in any way. Rich? Yes. Famous (or even slightly famous)? No.

There was a brief period during which I liked TYT.

Then I saw the following video, in which pigsh*t Cenk reveled in the mass killing of a group of Taliban soldiers, glibly justifying his pleasure at the "badass" action with the excuse that "we're there to kill 'em".

  • Never did he question why it was necessary for the world's only superpower to be killing impoverished tribal warriors in one of the poorest nations on Earth.
  • Never did he question the pretexts for the war in Afghanistan.
  • Never did he reference the United States' own role in reducing Afghanistan to that status, or the United States' role in creating the Taliban in the first place.

He basically used his supposedly liberal, anti-establishment show to glorify the excesses of US imperialism and US militarism, demonstrating in under 5-and-a-half minutes that TYT is as much a part of the establishment as Fox News.

F*ck TYT.

Here's the video ...

Cenk is a disaster. I actually find it kind of infuriating when he accuses other people of being biased. That kind of lack of self-awareness is downright grotesque.

I don't agree with this. Some liberals are fadish in the causes they take on (mostly college liberals), but I think there's a clear moral imperative for most when it comes to things like racial justice, fixing gender inequalities, standing up for gay/transgender rights.

What the hell is gender inequalities? You are you. Dress how you want. Do what you want. Be who you want. But what does gender inequalities actually mean?

Thought you were talking about transgender there and I see you did last.

Ah well I have noticed many libs here that are not so invested in that. They get quite vocal about women that want that...so I guess that hits the hypocrisy standard for some as well.

When I talk about gender inequalities, I'm talking about things like equal pay. Keep in mind that the term can also apply to areas where men get the shaft.

Well I'm not against equal pay but I'm sure you've seen some of the comments here and many are from the liberal spectrum when gender is mentioned. Have to hit up work now.....nice chatting with you.

A lot of people on GameSpot who appear to be liberal are not actual liberal IMO. Some people on this forum just seem liberal because they love to hate on religion and they'll promote gay rights, but then these same people will turn around rant about "SWJs" and "teh evil feminism," which you won't hear from any mature progressive.

From what I've seen, they think they're the smartest people on the planet/the only people capable of reporting unbiased news. They come off as raging dumbasses (which they are) when they insist that every news outlet is biased but them. They accuse the media of throwing candidates softballs while being the same idiots that didn't ask Bernie one single tough question when they interviewed him. Plus they don't know how math works.

As a somewhat related note, their comments section is full of absolute worst people from both sides.

@LJS9502_basic: hypocrites be hypocrating basically. Which I guess leads to the point about people who think their group is hypocrite free. Which only a blind fool would think.

Honestly, just being human results in hypocrisy. Nobody can stay consistent all the time (though some people do a better job than others).

@LJS9502_basic: hypocritical how? If you're going to make that claim you may as well fully explain yourself so I know what it is you find hypocritical.

A lot of people on GameSpot who appear to be liberal are not actual liberal IMO. Some people on this forum just seem liberal because they love to hate on religion and they'll promote gay rights, but then these same people will turn around rant about "SWJs" and "teh evil feminism," which you won't hear from any mature progressive.

Believing our government should be permissive and free from religious mandate is extremely liberal. Being annoyed that vocal groups, largely with no connection to the fandom, consider adolescent fan service some form of oppression does not change that.

Mature Progressives don't think Dead or Alive beach volleyball is a threat to equality, they just think it is adolescent. Sort of the way Mature Fiscal Conservatives don't think Obama is a socialist, they just dislike the mixed economy he champions. Or how mature religious conservatives don't think he is a Muslim, because you know he killed down ask don't tell and legalized same sex marriage. What kind of doof equates that with a desire to bring about Sharia law? No one who is making any real effort to understand the position of the opposition, that is for sure.

Being liberal has nothing to do with walking in lock step or even respecting the pearl clutches of the day. Heck, moral panic over popular culture has been a defining characteristic of American Conservatives since Reconstruction. Pretending that lewdness is some sort of threat to humanity is much much older.
