Do I have to look at Cenk's mug on the front page every goddamn day?

[Richardo]

If I wanted to listen to TYT, I'd go to their site.

And, no, I don't click on those threads just to complain (anymore). But the freeze frame on the front page is unavoidable, and tiresome.

[tridim]

1. Cenk is freaking awesome!

IMO he needs more face time.

[CherylK]

3. Cenk rocks!!!

:yourock:

[jpgray]

2. Yes. Because a plurality of people will always mistake a flatterer for a friend

:patriot:

[MercutioATC]

4. That's why I'm happy people tag TYT threads with "TYT"...I hate Cenk.

...and if you bookmark directly to the "latest" page you can avoid all of the garbage on the front page :)

[FiveGoodMen]

5. Yes, until someone better comes along!

Cenk gets it right every god-damned time.

I can't think of a more forceful or tireless advocate for the constitution, common sense, or basic decency than him.

Maybe you can post some Hannity or O'Reilly and see which one people here like better...

[Laelth]

35. Hear, hear! n/t

6. No.

[Baikonour]

8. Is that X11?

I haven't seen that in years.

[billyoc]

14. Yah, I ditched Microsoft in the early '90s, never looked back.

That machine is running Ubuntu Linux.

[Baikonour]

32. Very cool.

I haven't used a Linux machine in awhile, but I'm tempted too. I'm so sick of Vista, and the XP SP3 was terrible.

[MattBaggins]

34. lynx... lol

How much pron you downloading with that rtorrent client. Better hope Hillary Rosen isn't snooping on DU.

[billyoc]

48. No, that's w3m, not lynx.

And those are MST3K reruns I'm downloading. ;)

[peacetalksforall]

7. I like him right there - he is brilliant the way he can zero in on the heart of the matter.

I approve his positions. I like his delivery - his sense of humor.

I'm an 'approver'.

[leftchick]

9. no actually you do not

get access through your journal page if he bugs you so much. I happen to love the guy.

[libodem]

10. Can you use hide a thread?

maybe that would help you cope.

[suede1]

11. You must be the luckiest person on earth if you have time to worry about things like this.

[libodem]

12. Actually I can't believe you have a problem

with him. I've never heard him say anything I didn't like. Is this just flame bait?

[suede1]

13. What's really weird is that threads like this get any rec's, and I've seen some great satire ignored

or a well written essay get nothing, or one or two rec's. Then a one sentence post that mean nothing or is irrelevant get 20 rec's. WTF.

[Richardo]

15. No, not flame bait. I just can't see why we have to have 2-3 freezes of him ALL THE TIME.

I have listened to him, and I've only heard often profane rants about the most obvious shit, with a minimum of real political insight.

He's exactly like a youtube version of GD-P, now that I think about it. :think:

[anigbrowl]

41. He's in fashion right now, waht are you gonna do

I think that most TV/YT commentators from the left are just as superficial and irritating as the righties on Talk radio - even though I agree more with their worldview, it's still lowest-common-denominator junk. The only political video I make any significant time to watch is if someone with actual power is talking, as it might be informative, and satire like the Daily Show or Colbert. I prefer to read, not be talked at.

16. Word

:thumbsup:

[BuyingThyme]

17. You should get a camera and a tripod.

[dem629]

18. Just don't click on it. That's what I do.

[CherylK]

20. LOL, that's what any adult should do if they don't like something.

A whole lot better than whining about it, that's for sure!

:nopity:

[Richardo]

21. I know, but THREE youtube freezes? We don't even get that many of Obama.

And Cenk is no Obama.

[CherylK]

22. I don't compare anyone on tv or radio with Obama!

Strange to start now. Who cares how many youtube freezes? Several of us post Turks clips and most people like them. And most people who don't just ignore them which is what you should do since this does not really accomplish anything!

:hi:

[Obamanaut]

19. No. FInd a page you use a lot, save the the url for that page, enter there.

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. I tend to forget DU even has a front page. I go in through...

direct links to the Greatest Page, Late Breaking News or My DU.

[underpants]

24. Hey did you see this?

[pleah]

25. Oh, SNAP!

Good one!:rofl:

[OhioChick]

26. .........

[Richardo]

28. Yes. Hundreds of times

29. LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES ... YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM NOT TO CHOOSE TO WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

Just say'in

[formercia]

30. Flamebait.

?

[autorank]

31. This will help

Way back was living in Manhattan in an 'avant garde' hotel. I was talking to the guy at the front desk
and he took a call. Seems someone living on the 7th floor of the apartment building across the
street called. She was furious that a male resident on the 7th floor was on the hotel's balcony
doing something really strange with his hand etc. I could hear the screaming from 3-4 feet away.

The front desk guy, in a very monotone voice, said, "Ma'am, if it bothers you so much, stop looking."

37. Good story.

[autorank]

47. Those New Yorkers can make a point;)

[Terran]

33. Cenk is hot.

I like seeing him there all the time, makes me all tingly...

[libodem]

36. Yeah, Baby!

He has a fiance, of whom I am very jealous.

[Eryemil]

39. Very

Just my type too, the broad features and dark hair.

Mmm!

38. I complained because I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet. Thanks for the

perspective!

[Seldona]

42. Apparently so, since they seem to be so popular here with so many.

Asking people not to post them, or K&R them, is a bit unreasonable imo.

[navarth]

43. Poor baby.

My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow at your horrible suffering.

How will you ever escape the evil Cenk monster?

Poor, poor baby.

[prolesunited]

45. WTF is a "Cenk"?

I never visit the front page anyhow.

[Raineyb]

49. Not a what, a who.

Cenk is the front man for The Young Turks.

It's a good show you can catch it at http://www.theyoungturks.com

[AlCzervik]

50. the front page of DU? I never go to the front page, i use the old lobby as a bookmark.

Old lobby, awesome.

[Karenina]

51. That jealous?
