Current TV Host Tosses Guest Who Suggests American Economy Is Leaning ‘Socialist’

Dec. 23, 2011 11:00am Buck Sexton

Current TV’s Cenk Uygur (a former MSNBC host) got testy with free-market advocate, financial analyst, and self-declared “one percenter” Peter Schiff over whether America currently has a ‘ centrally planned, socialist economy.’

In a segment that in many ways echoed the “Occupy Wall Street” inequality meme, Cenk joined the fray with:

“You say that it is the government that is the problem … you say you are against the bailouts. But why do you think the govt does that? … Because they are bought by the bankers.”

Schiff countered by pointing out the role of government in creating and perpetuating this cycle of corruption.

“If you want to stop that, you’ve gotta take the power away from the politicians,” Schif replied. That led to some shouting from Cenk. Eventually, however, Schiff continued by pointing out that the economy we have now isn’t as capitalist as some might think: “We don’t have the benefits of capitalism anymore because we don’t have capitalism, we have a centrally-planned, socialist economy and that is why the average American is getting poorer.”

At the mention of America’s “centrally planned economy,” Cenk’s head nearly explodes, and he decides to cut off and dismiss his guest, saying to his studio crew:

“I’m done with that load of crap, okay Peter, I’m done with you. No no no, you guys don’t get it [saying to his crew], I’m done with him, he’s done, move away, bring him down, he won’t shut up and he doesn’t listen to facts.”

After killing his own segment, despite the fact that both men seem to agree on the ills of crony capitalism, Cenk promised to give his audience the real truth with an “independent analysis” of U.S. tax rates on his web site.

Cenk closed with a diatribe: “He wants to blame the government for the problem, but he knows it’s his banker friends who have given those donations, who buy their senators, who buy their staff members, so they can get more money. … Socialism my ass!”

  Cenk is a blooming a$$. He was canned from MSNBC, for being an idiot, if that is possible there. He couldn’t carry Schiff’s jock strap, and Cenk definitely does not know what in the Hell he is talking about – another deranged liberal ****.
  The banking industry gave millions more to Obama than to McCain through individuals, family members and PACs. Likewise for corps like IBM, GE, and Google, and the US government and the list goes on.

  1) What is Current TV… I dont see it on MSNBC or CNN? Is this a local program somewhere? Seriously someone help me out here.
  
  2) Who is this commentator?
  
  I know whom is Schiff but know recognition whatsoever of the Cenk… I guess that says something. I thought I knew everything knowing who is Schiff; and it would be a good debate that 98 % of America doesn’t know who is he. But from my vantage point, Cenk wasn’t expecting Schiff accurate position of the facts, it evidently placed Cenk into a position he couldn’t repond in debate so he cut him off.
  
  Is this a University tv program on an eastern liberal campus? Clearly,…Schiff ambushed this incapable “journalist” with truth and… well you see how journalist act when challenged to esteem a high degree of professionalism.

  How much is obama or shiela whats-her-name-shultz (dnc chair) paying to current for advertising?
  
  I sure hope current is streaming this drivel to iPads, otherwise, both their viewers will miss their shows, as the viewers are pre-”occupied” at a protest somewhere, occupying something, having sex in public, crapping on police cars, wallowing in their own filth and rotting waste, not bathing, etc.

Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

  And Cenk, if we accept your premise that the bankers are buying them, whose fault is it that they accept payment and accept doing corrupt legislation? It is the fault of the corrupted, that is who! If the government had people who could not be corrupted then the banker’s would not be able to buy them.
  
  But, since we can not, based on experience, expect the government to be less than corrupt the obvious solution is to give them LESS power over us!

These idiots that think that regulation equals socialism are their own worst enemies. what ultimately happened to Frank-Dodd proves that the system is broke and that the common man does not have a chance.

Cenk is a socialist. Socialist want a stealthy take over. They know socialism is not what the American people want and they cloak it in other words and in other descriptions. When socialism is exposed they go crazy and try and deny it. Apparently the guess on this show was making too much sense and pointing out socialism and Cenk had to shut him up. You know…socialist want free speech as long as they are the only ones that are allowed to speak.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Turkey, where those who are educated generally have at least a Master’s in Finance or Engineering, but I have met very few Turks who make any sense in politics or day to day life. 90% are boneheads. This guy is the rule, rather than the exception and would be much better suited working in what they call television over there.

Why does The Blaze give publicity to Current TV?

  This whole segment is like it was scripted right out of the book “atlas shrugged.” Where the socialists blame the businessman, it is their greed. but, they will not talk about the flaws in their own system.

  Yes, they are blind to any issues they don’t like…cause the truth can be proven by facts. Their spewing can’t be proven.

  Because you need to see what is going on other stations. If you want to put your head in the sand and only watch what you want to watch, it weakens your stance. As much as I hate to say it, I’ve been forcing myself to watch MSNBC and CNN and sometimes CurrentTV so I can speak to what they say with credibility. You have to have facts, you have to have proof.
  
  Two or so weeks ago CurrentTV had a special on how to have a Revolution and the planning that goes into it. How some here in the states helped get it started. So we have traitors in our midst. We need to root them out and expose them.

  Here is why…….
  The appointment of Ms. Morgan to The Blaze (which Mr. Beck named after the biblical story of Moses and the burning bush) raised some eyebrows at The Huffington Post because of her shift to a polar opposite political point of view. But she said in an interview, “I am a very apolitical person. I’m a business person, who is absolutely fascinated by brands.”
  
  The aim of The Blaze, Ms. Morgan said, is to broaden beyond politically based information to cover other topics of interest

  Your point is well taken, but most Blaze readers already visit other sites to balance the input. My point exactly. I know how to get the Left’s view, when I come to the Blaze I want the Right side of the equation. My head is not in the sand, I see when I am being propagandaized (if that is not a word it should be)

It’s a shame to see an educated man talk so ignorant. Yes, bankers buy off Congressmen but so do environmentalist, farmers and the aged. So who is at fault? The one who offers a thinly veiled bribe or the eight ball who accepts it? Banks can do very little on their own if they are properly regulated and someone checks their business. Stupidity cannot be helped but there is no excuse for self imposed ignorance.

  The banks do what the Federal government tells them to do.
  Sometimes it’s good for the banks; sometimes it’s not.
  You want to thank somebody for his part in f-ing up the banks and our economy?
  Thank Barney Frank and all the great people at Fannie and Freddy.

  Your absolutely right. If Congress(and the Executive branch) could just say no to bribes, we would not be in this mess

What is more troubling than Cenk are the dipshits that are paying him and people like him. That makes you wonder just what those people are up to.

How many times and by how many people have you heard “all bankers lie” and how many “all politicians lie”, then answer where does the corruption originate from?

Hey Cenk. Who’s responsible in a nefarious transaction; the one who sells what they should not be selling? Or the one who is coerced to purchase what should not be available?

Surely there is responsibility to go around. But the bottom line is, if politicians were not whoring out money and access, there would be nothing nefarious available for “fat cats” to buy from government.

  It’s the pathway to the New World Order, get on board or arrive late. Remember, Soros told Beck, that train has already left.

  Sure they could. If the state controlled all supply and demand, labor cost, and profit margins, tax collection, and rate raises, etc, etc, etc.
  
  Don’t be blind, they do not need us. We will have to fight to stay here. The New World Order is a real deal, and it is upon us.

We all know Cenk is a propaganda mouth piece for his Big Daddy Government and the Socialist agenda. He knows nothing about facts and is a NON-journalist.

  Very true. Cenk is a died-in-the-wool Josef Gobbles propagandist….You will be censored and shouted down if you dare speak ill of a socialist economy. Cenk, Sgt. Schultz, Rachael Madcow, the whole line-up on msnbc are part of Obama’s bin Lying propaganda machine.
