1. My two favorite men talking about my favorite topic

:loveya:

Worth watching for the 11th (or so) time. :D

[Dreamer Tatum]

2. How much does Olbermann make a year? nt

[davidwparker]

4. I'm sure he is well-compensated for what he does. Your point?

[Dreamer Tatum]

5. Capitalism puts the "well" in "well-compensated"

I wonder if he'd like having the "well" taken away.

That's my point.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

8. Your point is answered in the video. They'd both be happy to loose the jobs

and go fishing or to a ballgame.

[Dreamer Tatum]

9. Yeahhhhhhhh surrrrre they would

Easy for millionaire media personalities to say how much they'd give away. I believe neither of them.

[Pharaoh]

11. really

Your priorities are all about you?

You should be a republican!

[tomm2thumbs]

12. ya think?

bwhahahahaha

[Dreamer Tatum]

15. I'm not a multimillionaire media personality

Olbermann is. I doubt that when it came time to turn over the bank account, he'd actually do it.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. I think Mr. Moore is sincere, as well as Keith.

[slay]

16. It's Dreamer Tatum - today's worst per...

well, you get the idea. Many of us who are well off would gladly trade that to have a more equal society. I don't know why you think Michael Moore or Keith to be liars, but for some reason, known only to you, you do. Why not just title your post KEITH AND MICHAEL MOORE ARE LIARS? :shrug: :eyes:

[Dreamer Tatum]

17. As soon as they put their wealth in government escrow, mine's right behind.

How's that? Better?

[Pharaoh]

18. Nobodys talking about

putting your money in government escrow........

just fair taxation at the top, they are willing to pay more taxes above $250,000

That shouldn't be unreasonable :shrug:

[Dreamer Tatum]

19. That's fair

There's just sort of a NIMBY odor when someone who has their millions in the bank is willing to pay higher taxes on new income.

[Pharaoh]

20. Oy........

Tatum, please take your meds and go to bed.
Tomorrows a new day .......g'nite :party:

[davidwparker]

3. Yes, left-wing voices will be heard UNTIL the people get off the couches.

[Grassy Knoll]

6. This is a great example of why Beckkk hates him....

Beckkk wanted to do this first, But Moore beat him to it,
Expose them is the theme, and Beckkk comes in last , he can't stand
the fact that Michael stole his thunder, but Moore does it with much more class.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

7. Rec. Thanx Pharaoh for posting it. I refuse to watch any news.

The DU video posters are much appreciated by many.

[tomm2thumbs]

10. I'm surprised the tea baggers don't embrace Michael Moore, he's whistling their tune in many ways

In fact, I betcha if he had an (R) by his name, he'd be their poster boy. Same way that I think they'd be singing and dancing in ecstasy right now if President Obama had an (R) by his... they just wanna know THEY own it. Just look how excited & defensive they were over a complete idiot like Bush. Or Palin. Or even Steele. It really doesn't matter that they are entirely incompetent, it only matters that they are on 'their' side with that magic little (R).

It's like their very own magic flag pin. Wear it, and you're okay with us.

In fact, I say we should encourage multiple numbers of the Democratic Congress to change their affiliation from Democrat to Republican. Seriously. You want a bi-partisan bill? Well 'Republicans' Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank BOTH voted for it - and THEY are Republicans. See, they now have that little (R) by their name. Just think how much we'd get done by having all of our future legislation passed in a bi-partisan manner. Bills they pass would be legitimate for eternity.

So I appeal to you die-hard Democrats. What are you doing just standing there? Switch your party affiliation right now.

Do it for the love of your country.
Do it for the sake of bi-partisanship.
And yes - do it for the good of the Party and everything it stands for.
We are counting on you!

13. absolutely brilliant Tomm2thumbs !!!!!!!!!!

[earcandle]

21. That was nice.

[midnight]

22. I have to see this movie now. I thought because I saw fun with Dick and Jane

that I understood the horror of the ecomomic terrorism being weilded against working America, but this looks to good to pass up.
