Worst Lies In Paul Ryan's Speech

[@anx1300c]

I can't take seriously a man who looks like a kid wearing his father's suit.

[@ltsMeSB]

Paul Ryan's public speaking classes just made him creepier. He's like a little kid in a suit on a sitcom.

[@vcdaniels]

5:33 A man that can lie to you without a conscience. That's one of the diagnostic symptoms of sociopathy. Scary man indeed. Especially when you consider that sociopaths are often considered dangerous people exactly because of their capability to commit any act. As stated in PhD Martha Stout's "The Sociopath Next Door", a sociopath KNOWS right from wrong. It's just that he lacks the human mental function to allow that knowledge to STOP him from DOING wrong (ie a conscience).

[@LaReinaDelBarrio]

Dracula in a suit.

[@bctopper]

Thank you for exposing the lies to us.

[@DominatingNA]

Clearly you forgot the phrase that came right before that: "builds roads and bridges, but if you've got a small business, you didn't build that." Obviously he was referring to the roads and bridges. No one with a brain could possibly believe that a politician would get up and commit political suicide by claiming that small business owners didn't build their own businesses.

[@aimeemacdn]

I'm getting sick of politicians and wealthy people saying they worked REALLY HARD!! I know VERY many people who worked continued to work their arses off, just to stand still, and have ZILCH! Don't they understand how insulting it is to hard-working people struggling to keep their heads above water? No, they don't. I'm in the UK and we have the same problem..... Elect a Government of men who come from privileged backgrounds and you will regret it!

[@ImperialLegionTV]

There is no such thing as a successful "individual". You are born into this world naked, cold and starving and you leave this world with nothing other than the experiences, memories, love and compassion that were give to you by other Human beings.

[@BlandAdventures]

I knew a girl who similarly could tell blatant lies with ease; the truth is those sort of people are fragile and damaged, and we should feel sorry for them. But also not elect them to run the country.

[@maladjez]

I am truly amazed by the ability of US American small business owners to build roads and bridges parallel to their own business. That's so impressive.

[@greyowl8143]

Anybody else laugh out loud at that mocking impression Cenk did? ( :

[@cynisturb]

Politicians and their families and friends have to be banned from gaining from their political positions, which is impossible to do without going overboard. I think it is a fair trade off if they want to serve the people. That's all I have for now.

[@oohdannyboy]

They aren't picking on him. They are catching him out on his lies.

[@ucdeBZ]

never

[@Blacklakemedia]

Just because you have free-speech, doesn't mean you are free. That's like telling a prisoner he is free because he can say what he wants.

[@dalecs47]

Good point!

[@blackmichael75]

"nobody else worked seven days a week in their place". But nobody does anything in anyone else's place. Plenty of people do work hard though, and end up with nothing. "Nobody did their... sweating for them". Actually they did. They had to rely on infrastructure and supplies and tools built by someone else. It is in fact, a social system, not an individual one. "Government gets the credit". No, society gets the credit. Work gets the credit. The fact that we are social animals gets the credit.

[@jackdelamocha1194]

You can easily spot when a politician is lying, his lips are moving.

[@kant12]

It's not important what you say but how you say it. He did great!

[@Art0fKuma]

Yes, you are correct, lets generalize MOST politicians to be corrupted. Not ALL, but MOST.

[@DrPalsgraf]

I haven't heard anyone say that you can tax & spend your way out of debt ... but we can tax & spend our way out of high unemployment and out of this recession. Our highways & bridges are in desperate need of repair. Hiring unemployed to repair them will put money in their pockets to spend at local businesses: groceries, clothing, etc. Then those businesses will need to hire more employees. If Rep governors hadn't cancelled their HSR contracts, how many more jobs would those have created?

[@TheRidersChoice]

ya, honestly its funny because in 2008 i didnt have a problem with a lack of "hope" but now in 2012 i can say my whole attitude has been changed, no more hope, funny how that campaign promise backfired

[@tiffanynem]

I'm certainly not a Republican, but I gotta admit... Paul Ryan oozes charisma.

[@wazdz]

Biggest lie I heard was him saying he would strengthen Medicare.

[@cynisturb]

We aren't on a ship following the coastline. We are way out there. We've had some rough seas and have been sent to fight enemy after enemy and then allies who we were told were enemies. We keep patching the ship to stay afloat. A lot of work has been done to make sure the officer's mess and quarters are kept pristine for the top brass AND THEIR FAMILIES AND GUESTS, while the rest of us are left fighting each other for scraps.

[@giri.goyo_yt]

@Vicsor Good call.

[@Treblaine]

if you are so quick to call "saving sick children" a form of coercion, then you need to get your priorities straight.

[@Factfive]

I sort of agree but it kind of crazy even when their assertions are proven to be lies, they still continue to push them without much ramification

[@PsychoColossus1]

who doesnt

[@AlvinEinschwein]

Having Paul Ryan a heart beat away from the presidency scares the hell out of me.

[@pitsahat2]

Everytime they used the "WRONG" stamp i was waiting for "AGAIN, BOB!". Damn you, Cenk.

[@pardyhardly]

When I saw the headline "Worst Lies In Paul Ryan's Speech", I was expecting to see a transcript of the entire speech.

[@Slotten68]

"I am not here" -Paul Ryan

[@planetxxx8424]

You probably didn't notice but there are actually two people operating that Paul Ryan doll in the clip, the top one's a kid (small head) and the bottom ones got adult shoulders and hands.

[@goodonebruce]

Tax payer dollars paid for the roads and bridges, so we paid to have them built. Additionally, American citizens performed all the labor to build the roads and bridges, so we LITERALLY did build that.

[@g10bus]

My antiquated stats are very current (2011), and as of 2012, it is getting worse in terms of government's dependence upon the taxes from the upper few %. You know, he who pays the musician, orders the tune, and the payer can leave or hire another musician if the tune is not played. It is in (almost) everyone's best interest to get as much people as possible into the taxpayer class. Taxpayers holding the government accountable -- that is the way to go, not government holding accountable people.

[@backsweet]

he cant lose! as long as these guys tell lies in ur face!

[@maggosh]

So, when do we get Alan B'Stard's speech?

[@butter9565]

My 10 yr old sister is a better liar than him.

[@jojochannel4327]

well he learn it from Mitt Romney

[@zackersquackers]

I could be wrong--bear in mind that's happened many times, before--but I believe there's a technical discrepancy between middle class and working class. Not that there's a real difference in income, but in the work performed. Working class representing production/labor, middle class representing other workforces. They're just really descriptive labels for the relatively similar income levels. My example = I used to be a machinist, but now I'm a live-in caretaker for a disabled man.

[@RedXlV]

I can't believe Wolf Blitzer actually used the word "lie" to refer to Ryan. He's usually so much wimpier than that, and at least 90% of the media refuses to ever say a politician has flat-out lied.

[@atobpe]

Your request raises and interesting question. What is a bipartisan news source? That is a rather subjective issue. If I were to reference Fox News, many on the left would say something like "Fox News lies." If I reference MSNBC or CNN, many would say they are biased to the left. If you google "Paul Ryan Responds To So-Called Fact-Checkers Of His RNC Speech" you will hear the report from Paul Ryan himself. It is a Brian Williams interview w/Ryan that NBC has not aired for some reason.

[@finally0726]

"Everything is free but us." Wow!!!

[@Haurbus]

You didn't build it. We built this city with Rock and Roll.

[@chantalchar]

That is too true.

[@Amandaajt1]

I think lying should be against the law at this things and at the debates. it's like lying on your taxes, you just shouldn't do it.

[@DrPalsgraf]

Thank you for your intelligent, well-thought commentary. You wrote that I should look at Pres Obama's travel expenses, and I did. I found multiple articles - including one in a conservative newspaper - that explained conservative's claims about the travel expenses as "outlandish hyperventilation" and "demonstrably incorrect." So it's not merely my opinion.

[@TheRealGockCoblin]

We didn't "all build the roads together". Money was stolen from all of us under coercion to build them.

[@andrel841972]

Lie, lie and lie again that something will remain.

[@didgevibratesmybrain]

The captions for this video are sooooooooooooooooo wrong. Why put captions that mislead foreign people?

[@SandBarAndYou]

Because the people dont have the time to investigate. Theyre busy. And politicians know this very well.

[@pardyhardly]

I actually would say that about those. Start thinking for yourselves, People !

[@EffectiveKill]

Even they have figured out that no matter what they do they cannot defend this guy.

[@RantingRamsay]

I love the people saying that TYT never criticize the Dems or acknowledge when the Reps say or do something well. The first few minutes of this video are all about Cenk saying Ryan said things well and made a valid point or two. He then dissects the falsehoods.

[@QLIQLIable]

The Obama ad was effective, but I see like 5 times more Romney ads, so it ends up being unheard

[@DrPalsgraf]

1. Using obscenities & insults in your argument tells others that you have nothing of substance to back your claim. 2. I did find "Pres Obama Has Outspent Last Five Presidents" according to CAI (but NOT the last 5 presidents COMBINED), BUT article also notes that rating federal spending as a % of GDP is not necessarily the best way to reflect a president's spending. 3. If you're talking only about money spent on travel ... remember a president regularly traveling to the "Western White House"?

[@PhattyBolger]

I love how his favourite band is Rage Against the Machine.

[@wwickeddogg]

Maybe I am wrong, but it looks to me like the financial situation is nothing like it was during Reagan. Mortgage rates under Reagan? Tax rates under Reagan? This ship is about to crash and we can either drag it along a reef for 4 more years or plow into the coast and try to jump off before it sinks

[@paucceri]

probably because it's congruent with terms used to describe other classes: upper class and lower class. what would you call upper and lower class people to be congruent with "working class"?

[@blueberry01120]

Stop dividing us! We're all humans with different personalities!

[@markspence20xx]

Truck production at the Janesville plant ended on 23 April 2009, not during the Bush Administration.

[@cynisturb]

I'm 37. I would rather be 16. I know how you feel, though. I couldn't vote in the '92 election because the election took place 26 days before my 18th birthday.

[@mhand00]

The volume on the videos from Cenk's current location is significantly lower than the volume in the regular Young Turks studio. This is very annoying because going thru the daily crop of TYT clips on KZbin you need to constantly adjust the volume.

[@cynisturb]

This will take a few posts. So, read my follow up replies in sequence. Supply-side economics works only under very specific conditions: One of them requires foreign and multinational companies to pay high taxes and tariffs. Another requires US corporations to spend most of their profits, because if .if they don't then when you give tax breaks and subsidies to corps. that are making huge profits will just give the money to the execs.

[@mjusiqtube]

Ha ha ha... and you have - mobilty scooters. (Have you seen the newly aired "Raising the bar" episode off South Park) :-)

[@wwickeddogg]

This is why we should all vote for Romney. It is time to stop fighting them and give them what they want. If half of America wants to destroy the country, then it is time to let it be destroyed.

[@michC91]

LOL I search for "Paul Ryan" too, right after watching WTB

[@tuseroni]

" the president and the entire executive branch's purpose is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. Only a handful of people know this fact, and only six of them know who actually wields power"~hitchiker's guide to the galaxy.

[@TerkCraft]

No no no, working class refers to the blue-collar working demographic. Middle class, refers to the white-collar working demographic, then Upper Middle class, refers to high paying white-collar working demographic. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what Upper Class is.

[@wwickeddogg]

I would get rid of the corporate form and have people own their businesses directly with full liability.

[@pardyhardly]

Of course I would agree, but I don't think Ron Paul and his philosophy of neglect is right for America either.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

The only people who don't think Paul Ryan is a liar are Mitt Romney, his wife, and his mom.

[@A.Mageddon]

That's absurd.

[@GreenRuled]

23 million Americans are out work. Period.

[@Squinndesusama]

wow that was a sweet ad

[@cruman87]

Definition of Irony: Fox News calling out blatant lies.

[@DrPalsgraf]

I did look it up. I Googled it more than once because your claim intrigued me. I wanted to know! But all I found was that claims about how much is spent on our current president's travels have been greatly exaggerated. Are you implying that U.S. presidents should not travel overseas? Or only Pres Obama?

[@biggydx]

You know that person got fired the next day

[@DrPalsgraf]

Yes, it would be MUCH better to just let all the bridges & roads crumble so no one can use them. THAT would certainly help business, right?

[@trueclassic1]

WELL FACEBOOK IS NOT LETTING YOU TO POST IT ON YOUR SITE !!

[@stylez_davis]

To be fair to libertarians, they aren't against cooperation, they're against coercion. And they view the state as a coercive force, whether you find the coercion necessary is up for debate.

[@spoada]

Politically America is between a Rock and a Hard place. All I can say is try your best to eat good, stay healthy, and maitain your independence. When they exspose all the dirt between both parties there will be a new golden age in America. No Democrats or Republicans. Its said how duped we are all the time. Reform ! Reform ! Reform ! No insider trading, Term limits for all including Supreme court. Lets stand back up and get busy america!

I watched the RNC hoping that song would get played... I was wrong.

[@MysticEle]

Why is the VP more passionate then the Prez? Won't this screw the ticket up?

[@Marcara081]

Let's divide the wealth and power this way: Sheep on one side, everyone else on the other. Still a 99 - 1% divide. Let politicians be as manipulative as they want, 99% of people don't have a fucking clue.

[@basquat76]

I'll never understand it. Getting up infront of what is essentially the entire world and just flat out lie like that. Where's the selfrespect in that?

[@smannee]

im not a republican but America really needs ron paul... the best president America never had

[@synapse131]

YT blocks all links in all comments. Don't blame the video poster. Apparently you don't know how YT works.

[@saadasim]

Thank you. Get all you neighbors and friends also to vote.

[@cynisturb]

I don't really care for Obama but I am voting for him anyway because I don't want Romney (it would actually be the Koch brothers) picking the next SCOTUS justice. I used to vote for republicans and democrats somewhat equally, but after the 2006 election I swore I would never vote for another republican again. I didn't actually start voting until the 1998 election because i was in the Navy from 93-98 and never requested an absentee ballot. I would rather vote for Jill Stein green party candidate

[@Jonrobbie74]

and before you say No it shut in December 2009, nope. Was shut dec 2008 with plans to finish their last project of trucks in June 2009 All happened and planned and written in stone well before obama took office

FOX News in an Obama ad? damn son, shit just got real.

[@TheLeperChef1]

I'm trolling Clint Eastwood, it''s more fun lol

[@bobbytiger]

And, he said he was going to close GITMO, be a part of the "most transparent Administration in history", have no lobbyist in the Romney Administration, and, if Obamas stimulus didn't work, he would be a one-term Vice President.

[@Albertus747]
