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

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!”

      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.

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!

    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.

      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.

    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.
