1. Oh my, she touched his wrist when she walked past him

to get the microphone out of her face.

[Kahuna7]

36. His mike touched HER wrist as she walked past him. nt

[Cattledog]

2. A 79 yr old woman shoved me! Poor little snowflake.

[alwaysinflux]

22. Is she really 79?

I love her and her brave determined energy. She makes me feel like there's hope in the world.

[RKP5637]

43. She's definitely one of the good people in life! n/t

[JI7]

101. yeah, i wish i had her energy

and i am about half her age .

[bettyellen]

3. OMG she is truth, isn't she. Called out that young man as the Obama hater he is!

[NCTraveler]

5. He called that a shove?

True snowflake.

[HopeAgain]

65. Ask the prime minister from Montenegro

What a shove looks like.

[sarah FAILIN]

6. They are reaching

Just flat out lying imo.. she was defending herself if anything from having the mic shoved in her face.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. poor snowflake

I hope he gets to a safe space

[Turbineguy]

8. My goodness!

It's amazing he survived. That was worse than D-Day!

[ADX]

9. She should have body-slammed him...

[dchill]

31. +1000!

[GoCubsGo]

10. Looks to me like he was the one doing the shoving.

With his microphone. In her face. I would have shoved it out of the way, too, if that was me. What a lying jackass.

[cilla4progress]

11. Snow

Flake

[BeyondGeography]

12. Looks like he's laughing all the way to the bank

Fraud.

[octoberlib]

13. Michael Tracy is an asshole.

[Quixote1818]

41. Agree, he is part of the crazy far left that loves Russia. Fuck him! nt

[Warpy]

77. And a WIMP, something that has now been captured on video

If you don't want your microphone pushed away, don't shove it in someone's face when they're trying to walk away.

[Les Cowbell]

14. I have no doubt she could kick his ass

[targetpractice]

15. That was clearly the universal "talk to the hand" gesture...

... Despite being a young man he should know that. I hope I never find myself choking on some food, and signaling with both hands around my neck with him nearby.

[sarcasmo]

16. We used to call that, talk to the hand.

[pansypoo53219]

24. an in your face TALK TO MY HAND.

[MyNameGoesHere]

17. SNOWFLAKE!

[madamesilverspurs]

18. Next he'll show up

wearing a neck brace with his arm in a sling, towing a lawyer who will help him sue her bodily injury.

Yeesh, what a baby! I take that back; most babies would have thought she was playing pattycake.

[central scrutinizer]

21. Hey, Michael!

This is a shove:

[SunSeeker]

34. Exactly. nt

[Cha]

99. Mahalo, blogslut

[DangerousRhythm]

23. I love Auntie Maxine. n/t

[mythology]

25. It astounds me that he isn't currently in a hospital needing round the clock care

Undoubtedly one of the single toughest men I've ever seen.

[elleng]

26. She pushed his microphone hand aside,

GOT IT 'dude???'

[Control-Z]

42. I wouldn't even go that far.

It looked like she just held her hand up to shield her face from him.

[Zambero]

27. Snowflake meltdown alert!

[oasis]

28. Maxine doesn't play.

[calimary]

29. Is Michael Tracey with The Young Turks?

If that's a "shove," I'm sorry - he's WAY overreacting. He's WAY out to lunch.

Maxine ROCKS! I bet she could have shown him what a REAL shove looks like.

[blueinredohio]

30. What a wuss !!!!

[orangecrush]

32. ...

[politicat]

33. Poor widdle snowflake.

He's got a foot of height and is three times her weight, and he cannot bear that an elderly black woman wouldn't take his entitled bullshit.

[spanone]

35. poor baby...

[YOHABLO]

37. Don't fuck with Maxine. She'll rip you to shreds dude.

That was no shove ass hole.

[SCVDem]

38. She is guilty!

She should have put both hands around his throat and body slammed him.

That is a proven GOP accepted response!

[bucolic_frolic]

39. Trumpies' Snowflakes are beating us at PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD

Push that idea everywhere. Kathy Griffin, tasteless or not, is being excoriated
on message boards. Did they treat Ted Nugent that way? Mention him and they
just deny it.

They are playing victims. Call them on it.

[bettyellen]

53. TYT claims to be progressive. Still have lefty fans despite being a mouth piece for Putin....

[dalton99a]

40. What a wuss

Lying snowflake.

[mountain grammy]

44. If she had shoved him

he would have gone down like a stone and she would have walked over him..

What a baby, can't believe he'd say anything about this. He looks like a fool.

48. Aw the poor snowflake

Definitely a flake anyhow.

[MiltonBrown]

50. It is no longer the Republican Party. It is the Disingenuous Party.

Montana R was justified in body slamming a reporter who was being 'pushy' but this innocent (young male) reporter was brutally assaulted (brushing his arm) by a woman in her late 70s!

Right or wrong is only determined once the actors involved are identified and it is known where their political loyalties lie. Republicans do no wrong and Democrats do no right.

Facts, video and audio evidence and such have a well known liberal bias and must be ignored. The audacity of their twisted logic never ceases to amaze me.

[bettyellen]

51. TYT claims to be progressive but they were definitely spewing the Russian anti HRC crap all last

Year and coincidentally were taking funds from GOPers.
I'd be shocked if they're not being investigated for ties too. As bad as Breibart.

[Else You Are Mad]

54. What are you talking about?!

I have been a paying member of the young turks for 3 years and watched their shown for two years before that. I never once heard them spew any talking points. In fact, Cenk specifically and vocally begged everyone to vote for Hillary in the election. How is that anti Hillary shilling for Russia? That said, they did mention that there have been quite a few people post the same exact talking point you posted via comments and email over and over again such as the one you have posted. Where did you get it from, because it simply is not true.

[bettyellen]

55. They pushed the Wikileaks the Guccifer crap and are NOW parroting Putin

That there is nothing to see in the Russian investigation.
They take money from RWers - and apparently your money too. Whoops!
I'm sorry if you missed all the blind HRC hatred last year, all the emails bullshit.... but surely you watched this clip with Maxine- trying to equate Obamas negotiating w Russia a while back with what Trump is doing now?


They're fake progressives dude. Cenk was always conservative - then he hated "mainstream Dems"- not hard to figure out.

Like Stein and Sarandon they're useful idiots for RWers. I think Sarandon is the only one of them not profiting from RWers.

[Else You Are Mad]

57. NO THEY AREN'T.

Cenk has literally said over the last two weeks that there is no doubt that Trump colluded with the Russians. You obviously don't understand how to take things in context.

That said, you understand how primaries work, correct? Just because they backed Sanders, and after he lost and once Hillary won, Cenk immediately endorsed Hillary. It is not wrong to back some else in a primary than ultimately back the winner afterwards.

You can smear them as much as you want, but don't forget to smear Rachel Maddow for being paid by actual right wing pro-war corporations.

[bettyellen]

61. Not talking about the primaries. But you should research the details because Cenk waited until

Two or theee days to stop trashing HRC and endorse her in the general. I have no desire to rehash the primaries, did not bring them up.

I'm talking about TYT , their funding and flinging the propaganda and yeah they were pretty ugly about it almost all of last year- and still are.

[Else You Are Mad]

63. That is a lie.

Not they aren't. They may point out the flaws of Hillary's campaign and how her staff and the DNC were incompetent and lost to Trump but that is not propaganda.

Feel free to post in context evidence to support your case and prove me wrong. Otherwise, you are insulting someone without evidence.

[bettyellen]

79. YOU go look at the shit they spewed from Wiki Guccifer RT and all....

And realize that's why they've been in denial about the issue. They were one of the channels Russia used to spread the Wiki crap and DNC hatred.

[Else You Are Mad]

82. Really?

They reported on the information that was contained in the emails as any news outlet should. They did not write the emails, the DNC did. They did not fabricate the emails that had Donna Brazile giving the questions to Hillary, they did not fabricate the emails that had Hillary saying she had public campaign stances and her real private stances, ad nauseum. Just because TYT discussed what was leaked does not make them collaborators. Should they have not reported on what was leaked and readily available to everyone? If they ignored such, then, and only then, could you argue that they had an agenda...

[bettyellen]

83. Wiki selectively edited those emails and got people to think nefarious shit that wasn't true.

And they editorialized pretty heavily about it. Sorry- they were duped by Putin and are soft selling the whole thing now because they look like fools. Their coverage of the DNC convention made their paymaster pretty fucking obvious. You had to have hate in your heart to not see it.

[Else You Are Mad]

85. Then why...

Did the DNC and Hillary's campaign not dispute the authenticity of the hacked emails? Of course the emails should never have been released to the publicbin the first place, but if the emails where false or altered, wouldn't you think that every person involved would have disputed the authenticity of the communications? Rather, they just said that they should not have been leaked. Not one person that had their communications released disputed the accuracy of the emails.

The only hate I have in my heart is for those that intentionally are accusing innocent people because they themselves failed.

[bettyellen]

87. Failed to see Flynn was triple dealing and making excuses for him failed?

I'm sorry, I didn't buy TYT has made innocent mistakes same way I don't buy it when they claim Flynn made mistakes. Nope, they're flinging propaganda.

You want to learn about the Wiki edits do your research. What Assange presented was heavily edited and editorialized for maximum effect. TYT helped him with that. Suckers.

[Quixote1818]

97. Please stop spreading miss-information. Only two people at TYT spread the Russian BS

Do a search about Michael Tracey on youtube and all you will find are videos about how Cenk "threw Tracey under the bus on Russia".

If you listen to the regulars they go off on Russia and Trump's ties ruthlessly and 100% thought Russia screwed Hillary over! Sure they are not fans of the DNC and for good reason. Most of DU hasn't been fond of the DNC.

As far as I know there are two idiots at TYT who peddle the crap about the MSM and Democrats attacking Russia under unsubstantiated claims. Those two idiots are Michael Tracey and Jimmy Dore. Please stop saying the ENTIRE network is in bed with Russia because that is blatantly false.

[bettyellen]

103. They're "no fans" of Hillary, or most Dems as a matter of fact and take GOP $$$&

You do the math. They spend the majority of their time trashing Dems. They suck.

[Else You Are Mad]

52. To be fair...

There was no reason for her to yell at a reporter for asking a question. If we start hating journalists for asking tough questions, of the politicians we like we are better than those that want to silence journalists.

[bettyellen]

56. It was a bullshit premise for a question and we all know that.

[Else You Are Mad]

58. No it was not.

Just because it was a tough question she did not want to answer does not mean she should not answer.

[bettyellen]

66. He framing was: why was Russia okay w BO then and not a year later-

And they KNOW the answer but this dude is a Russia story denialist - Has been for a while....Claiming Flynn is merely inept?! Seriously the man was trying to give turkey over a person to execute for dollars. It's the same blame BO or HRC derangement they were into last year. Emails Wiki Guccifer boots booga. No integrity at all.

[Else You Are Mad]

70. Did you read it?

Michael was just saying that while their may have been collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign does not mean that every little Russian connection is treason and by sensationalizing every little connection to Russia makes the serious connections meaningless. He is merely stating that the media should focus on the concrete collisions, cover ups and lies not every single interaction with Russia.

[bettyellen]

74. He was claiming Flynn was just being stupid? That's Russian propaganda, kid...

It's been like that for more than a year, LOL.

[JHan]

59. Correct. Bullshit premise confirmed by his desire to lie about her shoving him.

[bettyellen]

71. Check this: Flynn is a hapless doofus- it's all a coinky-dink and Dems going to look foolish!

Don't embarrass yourselves by pushing for an investigation, liberals! It's all red-bashing, lol.

[JHan]

78. yep I tortured myself reading that.. I don't know how I managed..

The musings of your Typical neckbeard douchebro.

[bettyellen]

81. And now I read how people who dislike the N-word used by pundits are not mature. WTF?

[JHan]

86. well...

I saw a post where people who had a problem with it were asked to apologise back to Maher because he apologised.

I can't even anymore. For me it was the perfect storm of outrage over PC culture and resentment that a certain word can't be used because - though we all know it's a bad word - some folks wanna use it anyway.

[bettyellen]

89. I can't either! The rationalizations never end.

[Adrahil]

62. That wasn't a tough question.

It was set up question to try and get her into a spot where she would seem to contradict herself. She saw the trap and avoided it.

[Else You Are Mad]

64. Also known as...

Journalism.

[Adrahil]

67. Nope, I'm sorry....

Trying to create the appearance of a contradiction is not the same as journalism. It's one step above O'Keede and his shenanigans.

[bettyellen]

68. Here's more brilliance from him: Flynn is "merely inept"

Give me a fucking break, they RT RT more than RT does. Suckers!


https://medium.com/theyoungturks/the-basic-formula-for-every-shocking-russia-trump-revelation-e9ae390d9f05

[Else You Are Mad]

75. Oh bother.

Please see, supra, my last response to you about this.

[athena]

108. Journalism

is not about manipulating the narrative, twisting people's words, and claiming that someone said or did something s/he didn't say or do. Journalism is about informing the public about issues that concern them. It's sad that you seem completely unaware of the nature and purpose of journalism. You should turn off the TV, get away from the blogosphere, and get a subscription to the NYT. Read some of their major analyses to educate yourself about what journalism means.

https://www.americanpressinstitute.org/journalism-essentials/what-is-journalism/purpose-journalism/

Excerpt:

News is that part of communication that keeps us informed of the changing events, issues, and characters in the world outside. Though it may be interesting or even entertaining, the foremost value of news is as a utility to empower the informed.

The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments.

[bettyellen]

69. Why isn't BO and Russia a year ago the same as DT and Putin's love thing?

Sounds legit....

[Adrahil]

80. Yup. "Journalism". NT

[JHan]

95. Yup. +++++++++++++++

It was actually a dumbass question.

[salin]

72. Is pointing out a claimed "shove" of the journalist "hating journalists for asking tough questions"

Your point conflates two issues.

Should he be able to ask the question - certainly. And he was able to -and he got a reportable response.

Should his claim "she shoved me" (as in "ya Trump shoved the Prime Minister of Montenegro, but Maxine Waters shoved this reporter" predictable propaganda disinformation to be strewn from the far right in the coming work) be accepted at face value - when in the video it looks like a brush off - not physically a shove (which moves the other person's body) er no. Should be called out on this claim.

[bettyellen]

76. The question itself had a dishonest premise- BO talking to Russia a year ago has NADA to do w how we

Relate to Russia today. And why does he make that false equivalency? To blame BO (for sport) and discredit the Russian scandal- again.

[athena]

105. I didn't hear any yelling.

Are you one of those who hear "yelling" whenever they hear a woman speak? I mean, one of those who see "strength" and "decisiveness" when they see a male politician do something, and "agressiveness" and "ambition" when they see a female politician do the same thing? The fact that you see anything wrong with Maxine Waters's response in the video says a lot about your views of women.

[Else You Are Mad]

106. Seriously?

I would have reacted the same way if it were a male politician. Don't put words in my mouth if you do not know me.

73. The Young Turks have become a disgrace

An utter disgrace.

[JI7]

84. i didn't even realize it was TYT until now . seriously, fuck them

[bettyellen]

88. They've been spraying water on the Russian investigation for months-

All those warnings, making excuses for Flynn and Trump and normalizing their relations- been going on for months. But that was the bullshit premise here. Obama did it too! Same shit as last year.

[JI7]

90. i wouldn't be surprised if cenk gets paid by putin

the comparison to obama is a way to try to confuse or make what happened acceptable with a bs "everyone does it" type thing .

reminds me of some idiots i have seen bringing up obama supporting macron when we talk about the russian hack.

[bettyellen]

91. Well he gets GOP money so some of it is russian, LOL

The rest of TYT want's nothing to do with the utter BS Tracy spouts which has the Russian apologists all huffy puffy:

See for yourself:

92. Donald Trump would grab this guy nt

94. Tracey is a weenie and a liar.

His grin is shitty. He should be on his knees kissing Maxine's shoes. She has been fighting to give him the privilege of acting like an ass in public and parading his ignorance. What a doofus shit.

[Akamai]

96. Watta effing pansy to call that a shove.

[Hamlette]

100. What's with the Young Turks? I think they were on our side?

why this hostility (and lies) about Maxine

[bettyellen]

104. GOP $$$$ to trash Dems. Since they don't all agree which Dems deserve the most beatings some

People think that's what makes them honest, LOL. It's a scam. They're paid off.
