Cenk Uygur has a message for corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle: He’s coming for them.

Uygur, the outspoken former MSNBC host and internet commentator, debuts his new show, The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur on Current TV at 7 p.m. ET Monday. He’s the latest progressive pundit to join the Current family, and his show will be the lead-in to Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

“It’s not going to be your father’s cable news show,” Uygur told TPM last week. “Our show is going to be very aggressive. If you’re looking for a fun time, in terms of hardcore coverage of the issues, we’re going to be your show.”

So how does Uygur intend to set himself apart from Olbermann, who is literally the centerpiece of Current’s prime-time programming? The Young Turks will be “irreverent” and “free-flowing,” Uygur said, featuring a panel and some conservative guests. The show will be a “gathering place” for progressives, he added, but that doesn’t mean it will only appeal to the far left.

Uygur’s show, like Countdown and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s The War Roomafter it, will focus primarily on commentary and analysis. Uygur said original reporting in his show is “a work in progress” that will hopefully come after the program gets off the ground. The big stories Uygur intends to focus on are campaign finance reform and broader financial reform.

“Money has corrupted our politics,” Uygur said. “Washington is nearly entirely corrupt. The American people cannot win on any issue. We’ve lost our representative democracy.”

Uygur has done quite well for himself as an independent voice online. Asked why he wanted to team up with a cable company again, he said, “the more platforms, the better.” Uygur will continue to host his online news program during the day.

“The Young Turks” will feature prominent progressive contributors, Uygur said, including Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) co-founder Adam Green. On December 12, Jack Abramoff will be on the program.

To those turned off by traditional cable news shows, Uygur promises to be an alternative. “We’re not going to pull back,” he said. “Mainstream media, it’s a joke; come and watch a program that’s reality.”

Kentucky Republican Steve Frank Wants To Go Taliban On The Wall Street Protesters

Kentucky Republican Says He ‘Feels Like Going Taliban’ On The Wall Street Protesters

October 13, 2011

By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

A Kentucky Republican has posted a rather disturbing comment on Facebook about the Wall Street protesters. Steve Frank, city commissioner of Covington, Kentucky apparently feels like killing the protesters occupying Wall Street just as the Taliban feels like killing American soldiers in Afghanistan.

In a post on October 9th, Frank wrote, “Turn out the lights on the Occupiers, I feel like going Taliban on them!!! The Taliban, as they see it is resisting occupation. I am resisting the Occupiers and very proud to be a 1%’er. I figured that the irony would be lost on most of the dummies in Occupation Nation who oppose the war in Afganistan because they see us as occupiers. I happen to oppose the war too but for highly different grounds. PS I am proud of our troops and have a son in harm’s way.”

So, Frank considers himself part of the 1% and wants to kill Americans who oppose them. To compare yourself to the Taliban is pretty bad. Frank is essentially saying that the Republican Party and the top 1% of Americans are the US version of the Taliban, the group that supports terrorism against America. The Taliban must be thrilled to hear that they have Republican support. It’s clear now that the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement has been fighting the Taliban all this time. We should thank Steve Frank for clearing that up.

And how and why is it ok for this idiot to say this. Well you never have to worry about this jackass going”human being” on anyone. You ever notice how when someone is trying to speak for themselves but is not getting violent or all up in the face how others take that as a sign of weakness and think they can threaten them or even hurt them? Remember the silence before the tornado.

It is not OK for anyone to do it. It has nothing to do with the right or left. People need to be held responsibile for what comes out of their mouths and it needs to stop being blamed on the party they are aligned with. There are careless comments made from all sides.

Personally, I’m not really sure what “turn out the lights” and “go Taliban” mean in this context. (And urbandictionary did not help.) It doesn’t sound good, but is it really wanting to kill them?
Perhaps he just wants to make them grow long beards and dim the lights a bit so they can get some sleep?

I’ve said it before….This is the sort of behavior to expect from the Tealiban Teahaddist’s kookfest.

Because nothing says “I support freedom” like religious zealots murdering people who want to exercise their Constitutional rights.

Well, of course. They wouldn’t have it any other way. Cynically, my money is on them for initiating an all out assault, killing some unarmed protesters for Gawd and Country, cos’ they love it so much!

Somehow, it always seems to be okay for radical righties to threaten to kill liberals, but when a leftie does it, it’s abhorrent, and abomination. Sorry, righties, that’s Obama Nation!
