Cenk hosting. Latest on the Malaysian airplane crash over Ukraine. Many of the bodies of the victims still haven’t been picked up off of the ground at the crash site. There is a horrible stench in the air and some are in refrigerated cars nearby. Russian news agencies are coming up with crazy excuses for the disaster, in efforts to put the blame on Ukrainians or Malaysian Airlines. Conservatives like Allen West are now linking President Obama with Putin over the shot down airline, while Laura Ingraham wonders if Obama is diverting attention from domestic stories in favor of the Israeli/Palestinian war and Ukraine/Russia conflicts. VP Joe Biden told the New Yorker that in the past he once told Putin that he has no soul. Cenk is calling this story b/s. NetRoots was held over the weekend and it never gets much media coverage or big Democratic names showing up the way CPAC does. Cenk details why this happens. The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has continued to kill hundreds of Palestinians, prompting Netanyahu to appear on American Sunday shows to talk about how its Hamas’ fault for the kids they’ve continually bombed. Videos of his appearances as well as John Kerry’s overtly supportive statements in favor of Israel while trying to play the middle ground role. Mashup of their eerily similar statements all in one day. A newly released tape from 2001 reveals Netanyahu’s true thoughts on how he knows he can easily move America in any direction he wants to. The former actress that sent ricin to President Obama has been sentenced to 18 years in prison, and this story hasn’t been covered very much at all. Cenk points out how we would’ve reacted in a Muslim sent poison to the president and the mayor of Bloomberg. A prominent Egyptian cleric has asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood is taking part in “Anal Jihad.”
