The Young Turks: March 07, 2014

play_arrow

 Cenk, Ben, John Iadarola, and Eboni hosting.  WSJ Kimberley Strassel wrote a piece defending the Koch Brothers’ funding of campaigns by comparing it to all the unions in the countries.  The problem is that she omitted the dark money & undisclosed donations behind Super PACs.  When this is taken into account, the Kochs funded more than 2x the top 10 unions, combined.  More from CPAC.  The Minority Outreach Panel was greeted by a nearly empty room that was later packed when Wayne LaPierre took the stage for the gun rights panel.  Video of a Black Republican on the panel calling out the assertion that goodies are the only way politicians can appeal to minorities.  Yesterday, Paul Ryan told a story of a kid that got a free lunch, and didn’t feel he wasn’t loved.   Video of Cenk’s reaction to the story on yesterday’s show, where he predicted that the story was bullshit.  Today, it has been exposed that the story was in fact, made up. Conservative Radio host Michael Medved was a part of a panel at CPAC, and claimed that there isn’t one state that has prohibited gay marriage.  In reality, 30 states have banned gay marriage.  TYT wonders where his brain was on this assertion.  Video of Oliver North complaining at CPAC about Obama’s weakness on foreign policy and “lab rat” experiments on our Army by allowing gay soldiers.  Gun lobbyist Larry Pratt spoke on Conservative radio about why the media and politicians are against radical 2nd Amendment rights.  He claimed that they want to assert their perceived rule over everyone else and guns keep them worried that they may get shot if they try it.  The new movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe, is already catching hell from Christians that have forced Paramount to edit it down and list disclaimers that it isn’t true history that the Bible depicts.
