The Young Turks, August 15, 2013

The Young Turks: August 15, 2013

play_arrow

The end of The Young Turks on Current.  Updates on the violence of Egypt with over 600 people dead, many Muslim Brotherhood supporters.  The violence broke out right after a deal didn’t go through between the Brotherhood and the military  Apparently, one of the reasons it didn’t work is because of the flippant way that Sens. Graham and McCain spoke to the Egyptian media.  Bill O’Reilly said that Oprah’s experience with racism should be ignored.  Rush Limbaugh’s hypothesis on why Oprah was turned down is that she fat, not Black.  A Conservative group that thinks Fox News is going away from Conservative beliefs is upset that they are pushing Hannity out for Megyn Kelly, calling her a pro-homosexual advocate.  20 Tea Party groups wrote a letter to Sen Lamar Alexander, asking him to retire from the Senate due to his track record of bipartisanship and compromise to Democrats.  Popular author Orson Scott Card is losing support from fans due to his homophobic rants, and now his comments about race and President Obama. Controversy over the Missouri rodeo clown dressed as Obama.  At first, this wouldn’t seem like a big deal until a spectator explained that the atmosphere was that of a KKK rally.  Conservative talkers like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are rallying around the racists that took part in this.  After James Clapper lied to Congress about the NSA spying program, a PPP poll showed that the majority of people in 5 select states, both Red and Blue, believe that he should be charged with perjury.
