Ignorance might be bliss, but it will destroy us. The most honest on air rant I have ever heard.

The first person I've ever heard raise the issue about money being sucked out of this country (e.g., HUGE trade deficits and money being stashed offshore). Sooner or later this country will implode if we keep on this track. Bernie is the only ONE who is not bought and paid for. He is the only one who could possibly tackle this issue. A bought and paid for politician cannot

When this implodes, from Reagan on the history books will depict how our government destroyed this country. The Clintons played a HUGE role in this. It is insane to consider putting them back in charge.

Bernie can't stop our government from throwing Trillions down the WAR toilet.
I give him kudos for getting some of it for jobs for his people back home.
This is not a place to win a Pyrrhic victory.

If Bernie WERE God of the United States, Military Spending would be cut on Day One.
Hillary?...She is an international Arms Dealer, and won't even sign a ban on Cluster Munition....the bomblets that keep on giving.
Years after they are dropped, they can lie dormant on the ground long after any conflict has left the area just waiting for a curious child to pick one up.
That child then loses his/her arms or worse.

The video you posted was from August 2011. Comcast announced their buyout agreement of NBC on December 3, 2009. Following regulatory approvals, the transaction completed on January 28, 2011. Coincidentally, just 1 week before the completion, Keith Olbermann did his last show. Then there was Dylan, Ed, Cenk, Reverend Al, and Melissa. Those who remain must have heeded the words of Mr. Arthur Jensen:
