The Young Turks: March 05, 2014

Cenk hosting.  Latest on the conflict in Ukraine.  Back when people like Sarah Palin predicted that Russia could invade Ukraine, the foreign policy experts called it outlandish, but now that it has happened, they changed the reality that it wasn’t possible.  Rove quoted as previously saying that as an empire, we can change the reality of possible situations by simply doing the things that weren’t possible.  Video of Sarah Palin characterizing Obama as one that wears mom jeans and Putin as one that wrestles bears.  O’Reilly also made the same comparison.  Mashup of Paul Ryan, O’Reilly, and Palin characterizing America as weak over and over again.  Republicans latest talking point to exploit the situation in Ukraine is to call for approval of the Keystone Pipeline and fracking so that we can supply energy resources to Europe instead of the stranglehold Russia has.  This point was pushed lately by Palin, O’Reilly, Paul Ryan, and Sean Hannity. At today’s House Oversight Committee on the IRS “scandal” headed by Rep Issa, fireworks went off between Rep Cummings and Issa when Issa cut his mic.  Videos of the build up and fallout.  After the hearing, both Issa and Cummings addressed reporters outside of the room.  The Culture War surrounding LGBT rights appears to be leaning in favor of liberals.  Polls showed that an overwhelming number of Americans are in favor of gay marriage and gay rights.  The Senate did an investigation into the CIA’s torture techniques and found opposite findings compared to what the CIA reported.  The Senate findings have been held back...by the CIA.  It was also found out that the CIA was spying in on the Senators during their investigation.
