TYT: Secret Service Scandal

[The Northerner]

Via Yahoo News: "An undisclosed number of Secret Service agents with President Barack Obama at an international summit in Colombia have been relieved of their assignments and face an investigation over alleged misconduct, a spokesman for the Secret Service said late on Friday...".* Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Jesus Godoy break it down on The Young Turks.

1. I don't agree with Cenks dismissive attitude.

The incident blew the Secret Service's cover, called unwanted attention onto themselves,
totally distracted them from the whole reason they were there professionally.

2. Wow, Cenk is so far wrong I can't believe it.

These guys are security in advance! When Pickles came to our village in the US the SS was in town for days before hand. They were stacked up at the coffee shop. They met with the local officials. We had our own SS guy taking our pictures while we were in our peace demonstration. This is for the wife of a *resident! Now fast forward to *ucking Columbia of all places. They are actually letting these women into their hotel rooms. Get real. If this is what happened they deserve to be let go. If they broke company rules and have such a thing a court marshal I say do it. Obama had to feel like a sitting duck wondering if they had in fact done the advance clearances properly.

3. That's the first thing I thought of. This President has already had more than the

average amount of threats, this is not helpful.

7. He usually is. n/t

4. Jayar is right and Cenk is definitely wrong.

Definitely shows we are nothing like the right wing noise machine where everyone falls in line. Listened to Joe Madison the other day and he brought up a point that Dick Gregory made. Jack Ruby was a strip club owner in Dallas. Jack Ruby had mafia connections and killed Lee Harvey Oswald. The same kind of Secret Service sex scandal occurred when Kennedy was killed in Dallas.

5. Cenk misses the point

our agents mistreated the prostitutes in some way, as well as the hotel staff that tried to intervene. The details are still coming out, but its not just about sex.

6. I agree with Jayar on his points and Cenk on the point that the Fox News people

are interested in this for their own reasons. I'm not hearing this outrage over the recent videos of Blackwater. Shouldn't they be upset over that as well?
