CURRENT TV Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 4 Nov. 2011: Christopher Hedges arrested at Occupy Wall Street mock trial of Goldman Sachs; Keith interviews Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi about Mayor Bloomberg's FoxNews talking points about the crisis being caused by Congress forcing bad loans.

2. Be sure to read Matt Taibbi's Rolling Stone article, "Mike Bloomberg's Marie Antoinette Moment"

My favorite line

And then there’s this whole line in which he professes to indulgently understand the need for the "catharsis" and "entertainment" of protest, again almost like a Dad who tells his idiot teenage son that he understands the need to sow a wild oat or two, but please don’t wreck the family Mercedes next time.

Well, you know what, Mike Bloomberg? FUCK YOU. People are not protesting for their own entertainment, you asshole. They’re protesting because millions of people were robbed, by your best friends incidentally, and they want their money back. And you’re not everybody’s Dad, so stop acting like you are.

"We're fools, protagonists in a kind of gruesome comedy about the marriage of greed and stupidity. And the worst part about it is that we're still in denial - we still think this is some kind of unfortunate accident, not something that was created by the group of psychopaths on Wall Street whom we allowed to gang-rape the American Dream."

11. A great article, thank you.

Funny too that Matt Taibbi was initially a bit dubious about OWS and was annoyed that people were urging him to go there and write about it.

Now, he's figured out what it is about, unlike the faux Corporate Media Wall Street Shills who are still claiming to be struggling to know what it's all about, Taibbi is a real journalist of course, while the MSM talking heads are merely tools of Corporate America.

3. Thank you for postin that

The Occupy movement is turning out to have much more impact than I originally thought it could. I am very heartened by my fellow Americans who are out there fighting.

6. This POS was a repuke....

why people thinking his running as independent was going to suddenly make him a decent person, I just don't understand.

12. He was also a Democrat. He is the Poster Child for all that

is wrong with our Political System, and it's probably a good thing that at this historical point in time, when the World's people are waking up, that he should be right where he is, at the center of this Global Movement, as Exhibit #1 of what it is about.
