Anderson Cooper assembled one of the more eclectic group of panelists in recent history on Wednesday night: Motor City Madman Ted Nugent, formerly funny comedian Roseanne Barr and pollster Cornell Belcher.
Everyone was on their best behavior for most of the discussion, but you knew it had to erupt sooner or later. It didn’t disappoint.
Nugent: Chicago people don’t look very helped to me. It looks like a tragedy. Did he help Cabrini Green? Is that one of his projects?
Belcher: You go to keep trying to help people.
Nugent: No, you need to try to help people by scolding them to help themselves. If you keep rewarding them for sleeping in then they’ll never get out of slavery. Why would you support slavery?
Barr: I’m scolding you because you’re blaming the people at the bottom who have nothing whatsoever..
Nugent: I’m blaming people who refuse to be productive.
Barr: Why don’t you blame the people who have the blame? Why aren’t you ever…
Nugent: Why do you want to people who have jobs and produce things?
Barr: I want to blame the Koch brothers and the billionaires and all the people who robbed the taxpayers of this country, absolutely.
Nugent: The government is the one who’s robbed the taxpayers this of country.
Barr: What would we do without government? Expect the rich people to take care of the poor? Are you crazy?
Nugent: The rich people are the ones providing jobs.
Barr: No, they’re not. There are no jobs. There are no jobs and rich people…
Nugent: Rich people who put all their lives the line to get creative.
Barr: Rich people don’t pay squat and it’s proven.
You know Nugent was thinking, “Wonder how long it will take me to bag my limit when Roseann season opens.”

very untypical for A Cooper and the CNN crowd to bring a smart conservative on live, maybe they thought having a 2-to-1 advantage would balance the scale. Fortunately 2 unbalanced liberals don't equal a full set of marbles. Ted needs to be careful when arguing with idiots, the typical CNN audience won't be able to distinguish the difference. Probably figured their wasn't much risk with the low CNN following.
I love Uncle Ted! I wish he had his own talk show. He would be awesome up against these crap weasels who can't even put a coherent sentence together!
Now THERE'S a talk show that I would pay to listen to. Every guest would be some liberal geek, thinking that THEY are the ones that could convince Ted to be a nice, limp wristed liberal. And Ted would shoot them down, one after the other. I love the guy. Not half bad with a guitar, either.
Uncle Ted show once again why he should run for President. He has a much better understanding of what makes this country awesome!! As for Barr, what a pathetic human being she has become. From all apperance Nugent realized early on that he was dealing with a ver dim bulb who had no FRICKING clue and showed his true sportsmanship and let her go.
Unbelievable! How many people had a job working on the set of her sit-com, that made her fairly rich. The rich don't provide jobs? How many people did she and Tom Arnold hire to work in their greaseburger joints? If people with money don't provide jobs for others then who does her hair? Paints her nails? How much does she pay Omar the Tentmaker to design her clothes?
Even us working slobs provide jobs for others. If I buy a new car, someone had to build it, that is their job. I pay to get my hair cut, get new tires put on my car, buy groceries at the local market, buy gas at the local gas station, pay my electric and phone bill, am I helping provide jobs for others or not?
No, but you do help keep them employed.
"How much does she pay Omar the Tentmaker to design her clothes?"
Okay I just wanted to say that was hilarious!
BTW, Has anyone else noticed that the Koch brothers have become the new Soros of the right? That's right people, pick your target, personalize it, polarize it, freez it, & increase the attcks. Classic Alinsky people, see Rule 13.
Ted's the man, and rosanne is a frikin bloodbeast, bet 80% of what was once brain cells is now just a black goo inside her skull.
Has Ted done any whaling?
He should start
only a retard like anderson cooper would bring on a retard like rosanne barr to discuss economics.
Too funny-and Ted showed great restraint-great, great restraint.
Socialists don't have a clue about economics. Not an effing clue, & Barr is an idiot.
BTW, update this story, show her interview from last night with O'Reilly. What a dolt.
I could tell that O'Reilly wasn't taken her seriously and who could?
Roseanne sez: "There are no jobs. There are no jobs and rich people...Rich people don't pay squat and it's proven."
I guess that's a bit of improvement, at least Roseane didn't blame everything on the Jews like she usually does. But Barr's still incoherent and insane; she's Hollywood's answer to Nancy Pelosi, another serial liar who dwells in a political fantasy land.
Perhaps she was speaking of herself because the last time I checked she had money unless she doesn't anymore and now she is just hatin'.
She was born into a Jewish family, but she never came across as a very spiritual.
Ohh...okay i thought she became jewish through marriage. i guess tom arnold was the one that became jewish. But I was wondering why would she be jewish bashing if she is jewish...?
A very common trait these days. In other sites they refer to them as 'Judenrats". Like almost all of the Jews that run most of the lefty media. George Soros is a prime example of a judenrat, having helped the nazis round up Jews and then taking their belongings and selling them. That is how he got his start in the business he is still in!
It's actually a rampant problem today.
"at least Roseane didn’t blame everything on the Jews like she usually does."
Maybe that's because she finally figured out nothing she can do will make Mel Gibson find her bloated @ss attractive.
Question: Didn't she become a Jew?
I caught some of this while channel flipping, it's was more entertaining than anything CNN has put on in years.
The 'Nuge missed a terrific straight line though. Right after one of the times Casper Cooper called "timeout", Barr, after being put in her in her place, came back with "you should go shoot a couple baby pigs." Nuge should have stared her down and said, "How about I shoot one big one, right now?"
