The Young Turks: October 23, 2014

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. After the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported that the official autopsy of Michael Brown matched the police story, the examiner that conducted it said they took her findings out of context, and that it doesn’t necessarily mean Brown went after Wilson’s gun. The Justice Dept is also upset that these biased findings were leaked that could taint public opinion. The Washington Post also reported that many Black witnesses have stories that back Darren Wilson, but they’re too afraid of the community to come forward and give their accounts. A CHP officer pulled over a woman for drunk driving, asked for her phone and password, then sent several of her scantily clad or partially nude pictures to himself. When she later found out this happened, he was reported and busted. In response, the police dropped her DUI charges. The 2nd healthcare worker that contracted ebola has been deemed clear of the virus. Cenk points out that Republicans haven’t been touting this success story as wonderful after they bashed the CDC and Obama when the 2 cases came about. Anderson Cooper was approached by a Canadian journalist that wanted to take a picture with him while reporting on the Ottawa shooting. He responded with frustration over the multiple requests, so the other journalist took to Twitter to bash Cooper for rejecting him. The Canadian reporter was later fired. Texas history books have continued to push whitewashed versions of historical moments in America. One tactic tries to get students to question the Separation of Church & State. The books also redefine the institution of slavery and its impact on the Civil War. They also pushed capitalism as the only viable economic system. A Nebraska school district is allowing students to take school pictures with their guns, as long as it's done tastefully. Some have a problem with it, but Ana thinks it may be ok. Cenk completely disagrees, and says it looks like the Taliban. Halloween companies pull in billions of dollars from candy & costume sales. $350 million is used just on costumes for their pets. Mother’s Day and Valentines Day actually pull in double the amount that Halloween does. Ana hates Halloween because there’s too much pressure to dress up.

Cenk hosts TYT today. Pat Robertson told viewers that we have the power to raise the dead, we just don’t use it anymore. Rep. Steve King told a news outlet that despite the Catholic Church’s possible switch on gay marriage, he still believes a sin that damns people to hell is still a sin...but its not up to him to pass that judgement. The GOP’s Virginia Congressional advisor claimed that homosexuality is so bad because it causes cancer and forces men to wear diapers after their anuses have been ravaged. The Family Research Council has published similar thoughts while detailing the perils of anal fisting. These guys think about gay sex more than gay people. President Reagan’s former aide spoke about creating an anti-gay country called Reagan. After model Chrissy Teigen tweeted about government shooting in Ottawa, comparing how regularly this happens in America. Videos of Fox News being shocked about her words, along with Andrea Tantaros saying that she’s just a dumb model with a nice bottom that doesn’t know what she’s talking about. They lamented her political point, right before making their political point. Notoriously insane NH lawmaker Steve Vaillancourt senselessly spoke out against a Democratic candidate, claiming that she is ugly as sin, and therefore can’t get elected. In response, a website has popped up to unelect him from his position. North Korea has announced travel bans from any foreign people planning on going to the country to avoid ebola spreading to their land. Iowa Sen candidate Joni Ernst has had some video from 2012 at the NRA surface where she vowed to use her handgun to fight the government if they try to limit her rights. Local NC Republicans are taking away a specific early voting place that is home to many college students that have gone Democratic lately, in hopes of eliminating their vote. Fox News’ Kim Guilfoyle said that young women voting is not a good idea because they don’t understand life, and should go back to Tinder and Match.com. The Wall St. Journal published Karl Rove’s piece that begged billionaires make one more money push to help the GOP win the upcoming election, resulting in 21 billionaires giving $20 million. Although GOP got this cash, Democrats got $5 million less from just 11 billionaires, illustrating how truly America has transitioned into an Oligarchy. Twitter Storm with Francis Maxwell.
