Cenk Uygur of TYT apologizes for sexist, lewd, perverted comments

[kenetics]

@sangreporsangre

The problem is Cenk and his show helped to create the finger pointing, mob hysteria trend we are seeing now. TYT are always quick to jump on the outrage bandwagon and stoke the fires of hysteria and now Cenk is getting a taste of his own medicine and feeling the outrage he helped to encourage.

It is fun to watch the left being forced to eat the shit they smear on everyone else.

The right does it too.

Jesus dude, being attracted to women isn't at all the problem here. It's the creepy blog posts, calling women whores, calling random underage girls who are just standing around 'whores in training'. It's a pattern of viewing the opposite sex like cattle instead of human beings.

Sounds like trump lol.

I never ignored the fact William Jefferson made trips on Lolita Express. I have said such in prior posts.
Trump and Bill are very similar in both are poon hounds.

OK? Again, point out my selective outrage.

You are right.

Shaun King endorses Cenk being removed from the Justice Democrats.

I dont know if this is fair or not BUT I cant say I mind much. I do like TYT and Cenk and watch their show often. My problem with him though is there are just way too many people I cannot send links to because of three things that get in the way.

One is the constant endorsement of pornography (a stupid and indefensible position that does not need to be linked to progressive political causes).

Two is the constant insulting of religion (I know way too many religious folks who are progressive politically and worry that it might turn them off).

Three is the need to always be casting the other side in the worst possible light while putting our side in the best possible light. It is dishonest and I know that all sides do it but I want to be part of something better than that.

I love the “when I was a different man” type justification. Funny how that wasn’t good enough for POTUS during that one bus ride 10+ years ago but continuous, deliberate blogs that go out to the public daily are OK because “I was a different man and I was conservative too”

What a joke. I can’t believe even leftists can respect this guy.

I dont see Trump and what he said he did as anywhere near the same as Cenk and what he said. Trump bragged about sexual misconduct/assault and has countless women who have come forward and accused him of pretty serious shit. That is not the same. Bill Clinton maybe on the same level as Trump but not Cenk.

LOL at the phony outrage from Trump supporters in this thread. I don't like Cenk, but he did nothing wrong here.

Actually, I don't think trump supporters are outraged at all. I think youre making that up because you want it to be true.

Trump supporters have said all along, this was going to be the outcome if this is the game you wanted to play.

Start by not being part of a "side"

That's the biggest issue here.

IF you cant surmise that I am not aligned to any one perspective from this criticism of Cenk then fuck off man.......

Get beyond the language and try to hear what I am saying.

 

[ocfightfan]

Correction. They are talking about assholes like Cenk used to be before he saw the light.

"used to be"

Only because he is an actual witch during a witch hunt. He will tell the inquisitors what they want to hear and play the good boy for now.

Maybe I misunderstood the timeline here. My understanding is that he took all that down years ago after changing his mind about the position.

Did he confess and disavow it before he was exposed or only after?

I don't care that he came out for feminism or whatever after those posts of his because predators often use camouflage to get access to prey.

I think that most feminist male allies fall into two basic types. Betas who couldn't get laid before and hope that this is a way to con their way into a woman's pants. And predators who are using feminism as a fig leaf for their shitty behavior.

I also tend to think that if he felt comfortable being that much of a brosky asshole in print that the reality was probably significantly worse.

I'm not sure man on the timeline. I have to look at it like this, He used to be a douche and then had a change of heart and has then gone on to work to speak out about women's rights and issues OFTEN. At the same time he has a pretty good porn habit going which locks him into the female subjugation thing. I think his heart is in the right place and he is not perfect. I think there is no way what he said many years back comes out of his mouth or heart now..

 

[Pinyin]

Are you saying That Trump and Epstein Photo is fake. When Epstein was asked about Trump he pleaded the 5th. Why plead the 5th unless you are covering for somebody.

another pizzagate tard. I bet you think Alex Jones is a pultizer prize winning journalist too, don't you?

 

[Devout Pessimist]

Not really sure what you're talking about

Neither am I.

The same women that have filed sexual assault allegations and who Trump has settled with or has ongoing court proceedings that he is defending?

Oh that’s right, those women don’t actually exist

Are you really so depraved that you cant recognize someone who is not trying to argue with you?

 

[Gluteus Swag]

I don't think Cenk would show any kindness or forgiveness if a conservative figure was caught posting similar messages 18 years ago, so I will treat Cenk in kind.

He just posted a response video an hour ago on the Young Turks apparently. I didn't watch it yet
