Sorry for subjecting DU to so much manatee, Jesse just nails it on the head with some points

[Muttocracy]

1. big K&R some highlights here if any hearing-impaired need them, though Jesse's face

tells a lot of the story :7

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8418692

[tblue37]

31. Thanks. I posted a thread about offering a brief summary along with videos

so we deafies wouldn't be left out all the time, and it got 173 recommendations, because so many people agreed with me. Nevertheless, I still find that most people simply refuse to offer a brief summary for those of us who cannot hear--or those who cannot watch videosbecause of slow dial up conenctions, etc.

[Muttocracy]

34. It should be made a requirement! I'm trying to remember. The other Ventura

video (well, audio-only actually, with Hannity earlier) focuses mainly on the drug war (Ventura says they should all be legal, alcohol as dangerous as many other drugs; Hannity has no coherent argument)

[ejbr]

82. I would rather read the highlights

than listen to Hannity, so written highlights are always appreciated!

[tblue]

93. Hi Cuz!

:hi:

[tblue37]

105. Hi, cuz!! nt

[Lucky Luciano]

102. Man I wish Jesse would have commented that

the deficit that Obama has is not comparable to bush's deficit - totally different accounting standards that are far more honest! bush did not even include Iraq in his "budget deficit!" :wtf:

Anyone know what bush's deficit would be when made comparable to Obama's byh using the same accounting methods? I bet that once you take out the stimulus which was absolutely required, the deficits are pretty close - I bet Obama's is even better managed!

[Thrill]

2. I'm still baffled by this teleprompter nonsense. Whats the difference between

reading off paper and a teleprompter? Fools

[ejpoeta]

17. and the fact that it is still a speech written by a speech writer.

[TheEuclideanOne]

43. I liked Ventura's answer.

You can argue that reading from a teleprompter doesn't make you intelligent, but what does it mean if you can't even do that?

[LynnTheDem]

48. How come teleprompters were fine when GEORGE W. BUSH used them?

How come teleprompters were fine when GEORGE H.W> BUSh used them?

How come telepromtpers were fine when RONALD REAGAN used them?

Oh that's right...coz Obama isn't a republican!

[GreenTea]

65. They want people to believe Obama's stupid, he's not smart enough, he's a black man so

he can't be smart, so then the next step is....we don't want Obama making decisions for our lives....

Just listen to how Hannity phases it, this is his & the republicans intention, to find some way to make Obama not look very smart........HaHa - Good-Luck, not a chance!

[Mist]

3. Jesse refuses to be cowed by the bully, and keeps right on talking through

Hannity's nonsense. Wish more were able to do that.

[targetpractice]

4. Brilliant...

Ventura: George Bush should have read the memo that Bin Laden planned to hijack planes.

Hannity: Homina homina homina!

[Bette Noir]

5. Darn! I had been hoping Jesse would call the Manatee

on his offer to be waterboarded for charity.

Thanks for posting; I wouldn't watch Hannity's show on a bet.

[Wetzelbill]

12. he might not want to make it a spectacle

Being waterboarded is no joke and Jesse would know. He may think all the back and forth about Hannity saying he'll do it and others calling him on his cowardice to be beneath the overall issue.

[ejpoeta]

16. no,i don't think he cares about that. waterboarding is wrong and illegal. that is all there is

for ventura.

[AlinPA]

6. Totally wonderful. Jesse ripped Hannity's face off.

[riverwalker]

7. suck up Sean

quivering like a bowl of jello. He underestimated Jesse, and thought he would throw out the standard neanderthal red meat, Jesse took none of it, then he tries to suck up "we're pals, I like you". Jesse looks at him like doo-doo on his shoe. Sean is so pathetic.

[stlsaxman]

8. rec #3... go, Jesse!

[jefferson_dem]

9. Jesse handled Sean like the biz-atch he is...

Shove his stupid talking points right back down his throat.

[tomm2thumbs]

10. Hannity had his balls handed to him

oh wait - you have to have balls first... must've been Hillary's he had handed to him

[MisterK]

11. He just showed Democrats how to act

If we had some Dems like him we wouldnt be in the mess were in.
Hes got it. He demands respect.

[ecstatic]

13. It's kind of funny that both Elisabeth H. and her BFF got

pwned on the same day by the same person! LOL!!

[JI7]

14. still repeating that silver platter bs

[ejpoeta]

15. man, i may not agree with ventura on everything, but that man can make an argument

i love how he just laughed in hannity's face. we need more people with jesse ventura's focus and straight forward no bs talk.

[Iris]

96. seriously. When he was on Hannity's radio show, he pointed out how every week the right wing talk

shows all have the same subject matter. He basically told Hannity he was boring and dumb.

[PhilosopherKing]

18. The best line is the last.

Hannity: I don't know why I like you but I do.

Ventura: That's because I'm telling you the truth.

[spooky3]

89. I agree!

[Juche]

19. GASP. Hannity lied

I for one am shocked.

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_bill_clinton_pass_up_a_chance_1.html


Q: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?
Was Bill Clinton offered bin Laden on "a silver platter"? Did he refuse? Was there cause at the time?

A: Probably not, and it would not have mattered anyway as there was no evidence at the time that bin Laden had committed any crimes against American citizens.

[Prophet 451]

84. I counted a few more

Like his accusation that the recession of 2001 was inherited from Clinton (it actually started in March of 2001)

[mckara]

20. 9/11 Commission Debunked The Ring Wing Meme About Clinton v. bin Laden

Clinton never received reports of bin Laden's location.

Hannity is telling another LIE!!!!!!

[underpants]

104. If the Big Lie doesn't work or is debunked, let it sit a while, and then bring it back up

and declare that it is the truth.

Jesse nodded in agreement on that one too. Only part of the thing I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

[MadMaddie]

21. Did Ventura have another interview with Hannity last week?

Or is this the first?

[MrSlayer]

24. He was on his radio show earlier today as well.

From what I gather.

[Muttocracy]

33. had a radio one earlier today (also in the video forum). nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

22. I would love it if he did a year round talk show tour

shutting up these wing nuts and idiots.

Jesse has always been good at logic.

Awesome!

[Patiod]

47. He did - I heard it when visiting Minneapolis

Back before he was governor. I remember thinking "wow, he is really well-informed, considering that he's a pro wrestler" That may have been his entree into MN politics - someone from MN may know more.

[Muttocracy]

91. riverwalker's right, he had a radio show, I don't remember if that was before he was mayor

of Brooklyn Park, one of the big suburbs of Minneapolis. Unlike Norm Coleman, he was successful at going from a mayor's office to the gov. office :)

[riverwalker]

59. he had a great radio show

morning drive on AM, before he was the Governor. It was a great show, I loved it.

[Joe Bacon]

23. Jesse just kicked Mr. Chicken's ass all over the screen

It would have been a hoot if Jesse brought up Keith Olberman's $1,000 a minute challenge to that wimp!

[Left Coast2020]

25. "Hasen't Any" offered to arm wrestle Ventura!

At about 2:00 mark. Why didn't Ventura simply grab his hand and put it through the desk?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

95. Part of me was dying to see Jesse pick him up by his coller and...

throw him.

[shellgame26]

26. Thanks!

That was fun to watch!

[cboy4]

27. I'm not sure Hannity believes half of the shit he says.

[Hulk]

28. I never get it....why would Clinton want Osama Bin Laden's head prior to 9/11??

I don't remember hearing of OBL until after 9/11...at least NOT as our enemy. Hell, reagan and his goons financed him in Afghanistan against the Soviets...right?

Jesus, this vannity is such a stupid ass moron...and his viewers are even dumber....if that's really possible.

[JSK]

45. OBL had been identified an enemy

well before 9-11, but if you weren't a news junkie you wouldn't have heard of him. I remember seeing a 20/20-type investigative report about him in the late 90's (the first I had heard of him), more or less introducing us to him and the fact that he had a three BILLION dollar bank roll. And wasn't he identified as being behind the Cole bombing? And the US embassy bombings in Africa? Plenty of us knew who he was.

[rasputin1952]

46. OBL was in Clinton's sights on at least 2 occasions...

R's in Congress demanded nothing be done at the time. The situation was that OBL be targeted by cruise missiles, and the idea was to take him out. The argument against this was that he is a Saudi from a very powerful Saudi family, the repercussions from an attack would have been increased crude prices and diplomatic problems w/the Saudis.

OBL's main "problem" w/the US is that we have a military presence there going back to WWII, to protect he oil "lifeline". We pay to protect the Saudis from incursions. OBL believes that the US "infidels" are on holy ground, and should be removed by whatever means available. W/O access to phenomenal amounts of money to finance his "jihad", he would be little more than a very tall Saudi we/a limited following.

Anyway, Clinton pondered the moral/legal aspect of taking out OBL, figured he didn't have the legal/moral rationale for committing assassination, as well as pressure from R's to hold back from an attack...so we wound up w/9-11 after the bush administration decided to overlook the problem that was evolving. Once the bush failure was seen for what it was, it became a situation of cover-up and opportunity. One other thing, the only civilian flight over and out of US airspace that day was the plane that took several members of the Saudi family out of the country...authorized by the bush administration.

[MessiahRp]

52. Not to mention Clinton was getting heat for any military action he took

Because they were accusing him of using the military to distract from the Monica Lewinsky/Impeachment thing. Republicans always have fucked up priorities that have nothing to do with country and everything to do with political power. Another good example of this was when Clinton tried to take more anti-terrorism steps after the OK City Bombing and Orrin Hatch and the Republicans whined that we didn't need counter-terrorism measures. That entire party is always wrong on everything.

Rp

[Muttocracy]

92. good dot-connecting. nt

[Tutankhamun]

29. That was the best smackdown I've ever seen in politics or anywhere else.

I swear, Manatee looked like he was about to cry in the last few takes. He really did.

[peacetalksforall]

97. I would give anything if Dems could speak the truth as forcefully as Jesse.

All the DLC namby pamby gets to me. Why can't DEM leaders tell it like it is?

Logic and truth are dependent on each other. Jesse is 100% logic.

Hannity is determined to send a message and it is only to the illogical and ready-to-hate twenty per centers.

Imagine the money FOX spends on 20% of the country (now down from 27%).

[Turborama]

30. "During the whole John McCain, Osama Bin Laden election" Oops!

Otherwise, he did a good job of telling him what's what.

[Chowlie]

32. Bush didn't keep us safe on 9/11, Sean.

Sorry, but there's no job I've ever heard of where you get such a free pass 8 months in. Hannity is the very definition of partisan.

[Politicalboi]

40. But yet Sean says

The deficit is Obama's just after 100 days in.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

35. Fuck Jesse. A broken clock may be right twice a day, but...

he's still the prick who played into GOP hands and helped them distort the Wellstone memorial service and elect Norm Coleman.
I'll never forgive him for that.

[bumblebee1]

36. Manatee?

why is everyone insulting manatees like that? Manatees are gentle animals.

[autorank]

37. This is beyond good, it's primo! k*r

Right from the start. Jesse puts a submission hold on Sean and doesn't let up.

He wanted more at the end.

Sean's worst day since the NH primary when Paul supporters spotted him on the street and
chased him down the road yelling insults at him.

[SKKY]

38. That was a Minnesota Navy Seal ass whipping!!!!!

Jesse looks like he could still lay waste!

[Beam Me Up]

39. I hate talking heads who interrupt and talk over their "guests" (victims more like) n/t

[travelingtypist]

41. Hannity had nothing to say about the Aug 6 PDB. Nothing.

"To fix George Bush's mess."

"All you do is back the conservatives no matter what they do." Slam.

[pjt7]

42. Jessie is the America

we all believe in.

[zbdent]

44. Didn't Hannity say that he'd be waterboarded for charity?

And, as stated on "The View", Jesse WAS waterboarded ... and regards it as torture ...

Maybe Jesse should knock out Hannity and have InsHannity wake up strapped to a table with his head lower than the rest of his body and a rag over his face, and the sound of water being readied ...

[jgraz]

51. I was waiting for the waterboarding topic to come up

I think Sean got out of that interview while the gittin was good.

[RayStar]

58. The View

Jesse was fantastic on the view when he shut Elizabeth up. That was the best show this year. Go Jesse Go

[butterfly77]

49. I was watching this last night ...

and I had a good night sleep I went to be laughing after this,we need more people to speak straight like this...

[Cowpunk]

50. You're all high! Jesse got played.

That Hannity's a slick mofo. He knew Ventura could destroy him if they got into the torture issue, so he steered the conversation into a pointless pissing match, and made it look like Jesse's idea. I will admit Ventura did better than most Democrats Hannity has on though. I'd love to see him take on Russ Finegold someday. A guy can dream.

[me b zola]

74. Why would you like Ventura, a conservative, to debate Feingold, a progressive

...and why would you back Ventura in that debate?

[oberliner]

80. I think he meant Feingold should take on Hannity

And how bad Hannity would look in that debate.

[Cowpunk]

106. You are correct.

Feingold would wipe the floor with Hannity. To get some idea of what would happen, watch this.

[Aviation Pro]

53. Poser meets action guy. Action guy owns poser.....

....not so fucking brave when you have a BTDT on your 'show,' you little fucking wuss wannabe.

[damonm]

55. BTDT?

:wtf:

[mdmc]

54. Ventura Kellor 2012

:toast:

[Love Bug]

64. You're kidding, right?

Ventura and Garrison Keillor are like oil and water and that's how they prefer it.

[mdmc]

86. sho'nough

Just a joke my friend.

However, that would be a fine team if they could get past the past..

[Plucketeer]

56. I'm mad at Keith Olberman!

He's infused my mind with the name "Manatee" for this FAUX jizwad. FIRST, he's not a "man". And SECOND, this gives manatees a bad name!

[valerief]

69. Ha! Ventura is a joy to watch with these asshats. nt

[Cass]

57. Hot damn!! That was awesome! Go Jesse!

He did everything but get up and body slam Hannity! He made Hannity look like a complete idiot!!

Funny how Hannity didn't bring up the torture issue in this interview. :rofl:

[democracy1st]

60. Pwned ! hehe

[DinahMoeHum]

61. Ventura to Hannity: Psss psss psss psss psss! (meow meow!)

Psss psss psss psss psss!
Psss psss psss psss psss!
Psss psss psss psss psss!

:nuke:

[Gamey]

62. The wuss plays the victim card right off the bat

...as a passive aggressive ploy. It didn't work.

[GreenTea]

63. Shit, buy his book, keep Jesse on book tour...

[Faygo Kid]

Well, that's it for Jesse appearing on his show. And isn't the Manatee a bully?

Run time: 07:31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeMuDN9Ewyc   Posted on YouTube: May 19, 2009 By YouTube Member: Views on YouTube: 0   Posted on DU: May 19, 2009 By DU Member: Faygo Kid Views on DU: 11143

 
I have said for years that Hannity is a bully, and Rush is a coward. Hannity couldn't bully The Body.

[Faygo Kid]

66. Well, that's it for Jesse appearing on his show. And isn't the Manatee a bully?

I have said for years that Hannity is a bully, and Rush is a coward. Hannity couldn't bully The Body.

[ooglymoogly]

67. It is time to take a second look at Jesse Ventura. nt

[Ticonderoga]

68. This should have ended with a John Stossel like smackdown

[Divine Discontent]

70. I STOPPED (AND WAS CRACKING UP HYSTERICALLY!) WHEN HE SAID TO HANNITY ----

who said the US was better off after George Bush left office than before - and Gov. Ventura said -

"my GOD, then I don't need to talk about it to you then"


MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY - HANNITY IS INSANITY! So damn laughable, he'll lie on his own mother's life to save face for the Resmuglicans!

[nolabear]

71. Good God; what a tool!

I have to confess I never watch Hannity. Is he always that self-referential and obsequious? I suspect if you look up passive-aggressive in the dictionary, he'd be definition number one!

Yeesh. I need a shower.

[Tim4319]

72. That was a total mismatch!

Someone at Fox must not like Hannity too much. There is no way Hannity would have scheduled Jesse Ventura himself. Finally, someone was able to smack all of those talking points back into Hannity's face.

I would love to see Jesse go up against "Limpnuts" next. But, I know that won't happen, "King Oxy", will never go one-on-one with someone who knows his facts.

[Tiggeroshii]

73. The man's hilarious.

Thats all I can say.

[MisterK]

75. Memo to media Democrats

Ventura just showed you how to act when dealing with Fox vermin.
Take notes. Learn by watching.

[me b zola]

76. Oh noes, Hannity's audience got slipped the truth

Their little heads must be exploding.


Rock on Jesse.

[depakid]

77. I don't know how he can stay in the same room with that cowardly little punk

In fact, I'm not sure how people like Hannity or O'Reilly are safe walking the streets. If they don't have bodyguards- maybe they should get them.

[cooolandrew]

78. "At least he can read from a teleprompter unlike the last President." Classic.>

The last President who was that guy again it's like a bad memory now. Phew.

[judesedit]

79. GO JESSE !

[bamacrat]

81. Awesome Jesse is pretty good.

I hate how republicans never fess up for their mess ups. Its always the persons fault who came before them, which I can see but when they fuck it up for the next guy, I inherited this is no longer an option. Bush inherited a recession my ass, what the dot com bust, that was a tenth what Obama got. Bush also inherited an over 200 billion dollar surplus. Dumb ass people.

[Iris]

83. The radio program is even better. You might be able to hear it at Hannity's website, but I

won't go there.

I think Hannity is a little afraid of Jesse and that's why he doesn't drown him out when he talks.

[burning rain]

85. I liked when Ventura went after Hannity for bullying guests.

Hannity responded with smarmy bonhomie, that he could never bully a tough guy like Ventura. Ventura would have none of that buddy-buddy stuff, and went on about how Hannity bullied others. I like people who aren't just in it for themselves in this life.

[Prophet 451]

87. Jesse should have his own talk show

He won't get it because he's old and beaten-up but he's the kind of conservative I like: One who tells the truth, admits mistakes and has an honest vision.

Oh and Sean? NEVER try to shout down The Body, you won't win that fight.

[NJCher]

103. two words

...old and beaten-up...

Don Imus.


Cher

[Dinger]

88. Goddamnsonofabitch! That Was GREAT!

Sheesh! POWEEEE! Shazaayum!!!!:bounce: :toast: :patriot:

[happygoluckytoyou]

90. REAGAN CONSERVATIVE??? ahhhhh yes.... TRICKELING DOWN ON ALL OF US!!!!

The worst economic design in the world---- from the UNION BUSTING, LIVING WAGE BUSTING, guy who really could have benefitted from some stem cell research

[Infinite Hope]

94. I've always kinda liked Jesse.

Though he did say the McCain-Osama election rather than Obama which was a definite accident on his part.

[question everything]

98. Reagan conservative??

Reagan left office with the highest deficit of all previous years combined! And papa Bush continued. It took Clinton to start with a deficit and end with a surplus.

What a dick he is.

[valerief]

101. Raygun conserved money for the wealthy by taking it from the not wealthy. nt

[vicious12000]

99. why do these guys keep complaining about the teleprompter

did they already forget obama's performances at the presidential press conferences and the presidential and primary debates.He answered all of his questions off the cuff and in my opinion, he sounds more articulate and intelligent when he does that.From what ive observed, he uses the teleprompter(or prepared statements on a paper since that's basically what a teleprompter is)the same time that every other president or speaker does. When they're giving a speech or introducing something or someone so whats the big deal? overall, jesse ventura did well i just wish he handled that teleprompter question a little better.

[WestSeattle2]

100. Hannity is such a swarmy prick. He makes me hurl. n/t

[Bushknew]

107. Jesse for FOX news commentator! : - )

[Touchdown]

108. That tired old "bin Laden on a silver platter" lie again? Does he ever read updates?

Sean is such a douche.:eyes:

[wroberts189]

109. WOW.. K and fckn R ..Ventura is that really you?
