Cenk then talks with Glenn Greenwald:

Phoenix Suns Show Off Their "Los Suns" To Protest Racist AZ Law

As far as professional basketball goes, my blood bleeds purple and gold for the Lakers (congrats on another win last night against the Jazz btw!). I do however, have to tip my hat to the Phoenix Suns, for sticking it to the bigoted state legislature and governor that approved SB 1070 and made racial profiling legit and the Copper State a little more totalitarian. Tonight as they go up against San Antonio Spurs their jerseys will look a little bit different to the crowd.

Cenk Uyugr from the Young Turks explains:

Obama Death Wishers On Facebook Give Secret Service A Lot Of Work

Cenk Uyugr recently discussed the (sad to say) popular Facebook group that wishes for President Obama's death. Although it may have been in response for a similar group that wanted New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to experience the same fate, neither group is acting responsibly. If there is one saving grace though from this act of hate, it would be that the Secret Service has just been given quite a few leads to go on in order to protect the President.

Crazy Palin Supporters On Parade

Sarah Palin has accepted Dave's (unnecessary) apology for making jokes about her daughter and A-Rod, but her diehard supporters are still demanding Letterman resign. Cenk Uyugr takes a look at just how loony this bunch was outside of the Ed Sullivan theater this week.

Ex-Sec. Rice Says President Is Above The Law

Although the ex-Secretary of State tried to word her statement carefully, she failed terribly in her answer to a student concerning torture and her involvement in it. Cenk Uyugr helps publicize the exchange where she pretty much has a Frost/Nixon moment declaring the President is above the law.

Cenk Goes Off On TARP Wife's Woes

Cenk Uyugr spent a few minutes yesterday on the wife of the big bank CEO who accepted TARP money. She penned an article in Portfolio about how they cut back in these tough times, but judging what she wrote, the cluelessness about how the other half 90% lives is readily apparent.

Wm. Black Explains How To Solve Banking Problem And What Geithner Refuses To Do

Former regulator and financial expert William Black was on Bill Moyers last week and now he's here at Cenk Uyugr's show on Air America. The more he gets press the better, because everyone needs to know what he's talking about.

Who Does It Better, Jon Stewart Or Stephen Colbert?

Cenk Uyugr of the Young Turks asks the question:



Personally I'm torn on this, both are funny guys and have a lot to offer the comedic world of news. Each has their own talents and honestly, I can't decide....so I guess I'll just continue to watch both.

Cenk Uyugr Rips Rush For Being An AIG Apologist

It isn't news that Rush Limbaugh is a scumbag, but the audacity he has to defend the bonuses given to A.I.G.'s already-wealthy traders who destroyed their company is just beyond ridiculousness. Cenk rightly calls him on it:

How The Credit Card Companies Barrel Over Us In More Ways Than One

Cenk Uyugr breaks it down for ya:

Cenk Goes After Congress For Their Fake Outrage

Cenk is exactly right. It is infuriating to see a bunch of Congress members lambasting the executives of the big banks and then after the cameras are off, they go and pull the executive pay caps from the bill that Obama wanted.

How The Traditional Media Truly Works

Explained by the always amazing Cenk Uyugr, he breaks down the crap and throws it right back to Chris Matthews' and David Gregory's of the world:

The Fifty Things You May Not Know About Barack Obama

Hannity and the rest of his ilk tried to say that we don't know Barack Obama, even after two years on the campaign trail. Well, now that he's President, you may want to know some of these shocking, shocking I tell ya things about our 44th President care of Cenk Uyugr:



Oh and here's the full list.

Do The Republicans Understand What Just Happened?

Cenk Uyugr wants Republicans to realize that their party needs to come back towards the rest of America in order to have a healthy debate. Instead many in the GOP think they need to go further to the right. The problem within the party though, is that some do get it and are fighting the extremists. What that will create is a civil war of epic proportions.

Smoke Rising From McPalin Camp

Cenk Uyugr delivers the damaging goods on the tumultuous relationship between John McCain and Sarah Palin. Things are not looking good for their ticket as Sarah goes wild and shows her "diva" to save her own hide in the GOP.

South American Leftists Laugh At Bush's Hypocrisy

George Bush's advocacy of the bailout for Wall Street has smacked many across the aisle as a form of socialism. Cenk Uyugr points out some of the reactions from Latin America and those "evil socialists" that have yet another reason to yell "hypocrite" to the bully in the White House.

Cenk Uyugr Reviews This Last Crazy Week

So much that went on is all crammed into these five little minutes:

Palin's Worst Answer Yet

If Sarah Palin knew who she was talking about down below, then we would have to conclude that she supports the terrorist group Hamas. Of course, she doesn't, as we can tell from the rest of her incoherent answer to Couric's question. Like all of the other responses we have seen so far, she diverts from what was asked of her because she has no clue what she's talking about.

Nations Don't Invade Other Nations Unless They're Iraq Or Afghanistan

Cenk points out the ridiculousness of John McCain's latest statement on the war between Russia and Georgia:

What Is A Fiscal Conservative

Cenk Uyugr was sent a simple cartoon that easily explains what Reagan, Bush I and II were....with that dastardly "tax and spend" liberal Bill Clinton too.
