Bill Clinton To David Letterman: Occupy Wall Street Needs To Be For Something

video
» 145 comments

President Bill Clinton appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman last night and discussion of the Occupy Wall Street protests proved to be as interesting a recap as one might expect. The former president was generally very supportive of the movement, however he did not seem entirely impressed with the specific message currently coming from the protestors, summing up by saying “you need to be for something, not just against something,” before drawing comparisons to both the Tea Party and the Arab Spring.

Letterman appeared to be just as impressed by the Occupy Wall Street in his questioning of Clinton, specifically asking how Occupy Wall Street was different than the Tea Party movement, which the late night host saw as a very similar thing, or at least saying that “it is an energy that is welcomed back into this country.” Clinton summed up his position quite elegantly saying:

I think Civil rights, Women’s rights, Gay rights, the Vietnam War…and on the right, the conservatives, the Tea Party groups and the Pro-lifers, all those things, that’s part of being an American, to be able to organize with people that you agree with in trying to make your voice heard. But to make the change, eventually what it is you’re advocating has to be clear enough and focused enough that either there’s a new political movement which embraces it or people in one of the two parties embraces it.

    Need to correct your spelling in title

    The solution is for Obama to visit each protest park and apologize .

    “… many of these young protesters seem clueless as to what they are about.  Many seem to be protesting for the sake of doing so, as if the protests were a pleasant little summer camp and not a serious political statement.  But there is also the sense of darker forces at work behind the scenes.  The hapless young people who initiated Occupy Wall Street have been joined by hard-line leftists, union thugs, and lawless radicals intent on inciting violence.  As was the case with the Arab Spring, zealous revolutionaries have their eye on what may have begun as an incoherent gathering of disaffected youths.  These more organized elements are determined to move the protests toward a third stage.

    What is the third stage?  Lawlessness, violence, and terrorism”

    Considering the folks of OWS, the spelling in the title is appropriate.

    I shudder to see ‘tea party’ and ‘arab spring’ in the same sentence. One was for liberty and freedom and the other was for putting the black man in the white house in his place

    You, sir, are an idiot. Thank you for playing.

    “Cain’s numbers are sky-high among Republican primary voters. Fifty-two percent view him favorably, versus just 6 percent who see him unfavorably. Among Tea Party supporters, his favorable/unfavorable score is 69 percent to 5 percent. And among Republicans who identify themselves as ‘very conservative,’ it’s 72 percent to 2 percent.”

    Gotta love Bill.  Thoughtful and gracious to all fault.

    Unfortunately I think he’s right.  I don’t really see these protests going much further.  They won’t become organized and they wont be bought out like the Tea Party.

    Sometimes it’s just good to vent.
    I hope I’m wrong but I believe OWS will be a distant memory by Christmas time.

    Anyway, Occupy Amish Land (OAL) is where it’s at….

    Hit a nerve? Dude, this is the old “I have a black friend” response. Everyone sees through all this. People did when Michael Steele was ‘chosen’ RNC chair and they’re amusingly watching you now torture yourselves with Cain just to prove you’re not racists

    I do wish liberals would leave things alone and watch Cain be drummed out by the very groups who are propping him up now. Or, watch out, liberals may just be playing chess and plan to, just when Cain is in no position to be discarded by the right, all shut up in unison and watch you show your true color towards him

    Did they both discuss their extra-marital affairs?  You know, where they both sexually molested their female staff?  Don’t the left condemn sexual harrassment in the workplace?  Or is it okay in LibbyLand?

    No, this is the “You, sir, are an idiot” response. Obama is SCOAMF. The Tea Party is simply the people who saw that while the rest of the country was in the throes of Hopenchange! fever. You know, the realists.

    We’re all quite gratified to see so many of our countrymen finally figuring out the obvious. And now, as it’s time to conduct the process of getting someone competent back in the White House, the guy that we’re finding best represents the America we know and love and the Constitution our Founding Fathers gave us just so happens to be black, not that we really give a damn.

    Maybe you’re right. I’m hoping it will evolve into something, that it’s just the beginning of people expressing their dissatisfaction. Aside from the selective clips shown by some wanting to mock them I’ve heard dome pretty level headed articulate voices coming out of them. Just being there is one thing. Then there has to be the next cohesive step.

    From WaPo: 

    * Americans favor Occupy Wall Street far more than Tea Party:Despite nonstop GOP and conservative disparagement of the Wall Street protests, the most detailed polling yet on Occupy Wall Street suggests that the public holds a broadly favorable view of the movement — and, crucially, the positions it holds.

    Ironic to see all the Dems rush to support OWS, If there was ever the President of, by and for Wall Street and Global bankers it was slick Willy. Perhaps all you libs have forgotten about the Marc Rich pardon, reductions  of regulations on derivatives, CRA, Fannie/Freddie…all the groundwork for the bubble was laid by Bill & Company. 
    Letterman and Clinton are hypocrites of the highest order. Never occurred to them that they are both this terrible, greedy 1% that have responsible for all of our woes. 
    OWS is a pool imitation of protest, it a very few hard core libs, some and some labor who used to be anti-war, but not have suppressed that concern since BHO (aka President Perfect) is now in the WH and no more wars exist. It’s pure astroturf and only of importance to the liberal echo chamber.

    I can understand that poll.  Most Americans are in agreement that “when ya gotta go, you gotta go”—even if there is a flag underneath you.  They also support the use of sleeping in tents when other shelter is not available.  And when most Americans are asked to articulate what their issues are with wallstreet…most will give a deer in the headlights look, followed by some rambling, half ass talking point they heard somewhere about “greed”

    Here’s the CORRECT EXPLANATION for revolting occupiers of Wall Street:

    It’s a violent, unlawful, hate-filled bunch of anti-semitic lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist slugs, slackers, deadbeats, liars, freeloaders, losers, taxpayer-leeches, cheats, ILLEGALS and potheads that want EVERYTHING created and earned by hard working, responsible, self-reliant American taxpayers to be given to them.

    Now, isn’t that “the American way”? (or is that “the Greek socialist way”?)

    Chants of the OWS degenerates: “Eat the Rich”, “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme”, “Behead the Wealthy”

    The monster created by Dr. Frankenstein rejected and overwhelmed him. Similarly, the anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Semitic monster of slugs, slackers, deadbeats, liars, freeloaders, losers, taxpayer-leeches, cheats, ILLEGALS and potheads created by the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists are rejecting and overwhelming them.  Let’s not forget the words of the monster to Dr. Frankenstein:  “You are my creator, but I am your master. Obey!” – and the lunatic-left will do just that.

    The (bowel) movement known as ows is clearly in solidarity with the d-cRAT socialists, al qaeda, islamic jihadist extremists, ahmadinejad, hugo chavez, and every other disgusting, despicable person on Earth.

    “Occupy Wall Street Needs To Be For Something”; I have been hearing crap like this for the last 10 years.

    1 A more balanced society for all who share it, and a better example for other societies.
    2. All of us, it’s called shared sacrifice. Haven’t there already been enormous costs due to all the corruption that we’ve allowed to take hold in DC? Not just expense , but blood and limbs and lives.
    3. See answer two. The whole idea that fighting for meaningful change shouldn’t cost anyone anything or inconvenience anyone on their way to work is a little silly. Take a look at any challenge to drastically alter the status quo, force the conversation, bring the issues into focus, and get people involved. It comes at a cost.
    Every major movement in this country to bring about serious change has taken time perseverance and come at a cost. Take a look at history and tell me I’m wrong.

    4. I hope that American citizens, liberal, conservative, and somewhere in between, begin to see how they are being played against each other and that the enemy isn’t each other, or the fact that we may disagree on how to fix things and make them better for everyone. The enemy is the corruption that doesn’t want to fix things and make things better for everyone, but to keep us at each other so we don’t focus on them.
    I want to so something about  corporate run government and policy and have honest fact based discussions about issues. I’d hope to foster a sense of citizenship and responsibility where more people pay attention and get involved and understand the need to contribute.

    I’ve been posting on this site for a while now and Pablo and I have some history. I’m not interested in playing his games. It’s not worth my time and effort.
    But more than that, if you’re reading the posts here a while you’ll hopefully get my point. I generally believe in providing links and backing up claims but there’s a redundancy of foolish ignorent generalities that you get sck of addressing with people who have no real interest in an honest exchange.

    Insulting thousands of people in a group is one of those. It doesn’t matter if it’s Muslims, Christians, Tea Party members,OWS protestors, conservatives or liberals. It’s a stupid and useless. With today’s technology it’s so easy to edit a video or a conversation to make someone look bad. It’s very easy to go out and get a hours of video, and then edit it down to support the narrative you prefer. It might be that the Tea Party is made up of racists , or ignorant  older white people who can’t spell. It might be that OWS are all dirty hippies looking for a handout or whatever. I’d like to think that most people are intelligent enough to see through that bullshit, no matter who’s presenting it.

    If anyone is truly interested in discovering something, understanding something, rather than just repeating whatever partisan meme that is popular at the moment, then they make an effort to look at both sides of the story and step outside the echo chamber of their own partisan group, to listen.
    I said the videos were available right here on Mediaite. If the effort of clicking on a few videos and spending a few minutes searching on one web site is too much, I conclude that the people asking aren’t really interested in both sides of the story, and I’m not interested in spending time catering to them.

    Dear Michael Bloomberg, the Wall Street Protestors are
    trying to tell you something very important, Profits from Wall Street have been
    very excessive, along with the theft graft and corruption have been excessive
    enough to break our economy. How is that? Why is it? You can understand wages
    are inflationary, gasoline is inflationary, increasing commodity prices in
    general are inflationary and counter-productive to growth and competition but
    you don’t seem to understand just how radically inflationary the Hedge Fund
    Managers along with their associate profiteers are. The manufactured manipulations
    which produce hype and phony faith in the market, causing the prices to raise
    and lower like a see-saw, while profits and losses get generated by the
    billions and are milked out of the hands of the high-risk investors,
    speculators, and so many of the funds we all depend on as our savings and pensions
    which these profiteers are playing with. I think the Wall Street Protestors
    want you to stop the rip-off taking place in the Casino Part of Wall Street.
    I’m referring to the useless, ruthless part of Wall Street which morphed into
    the “Greatest Miss-named Casino on the face of the earth”, where the
    Hedge Fund Managers,(the pit bosses and their associates who are robbing Wall
    Street Pension funds and millions of peoples savings for the future. The Casino
    part of Wall Street should be using  coins like used in Las Vegas instead of
    certificate pieces of paper describing the extremely inflated PROFITS the
    conjured up, it should be called Funny Money and anyone dumb enough to put
    their money there have only themselves to blame when they lose. Many
    intelligent, earnest people put their life savings there, believing it is safe.
    Wow! That is sad. Better yet. Separate the Wall Street Casino from the real
    part of Wall Street which invests in businesses which produce products, promote
    growth and stay healthy through thick and thin. I you take that Casino Money
    and put it into real Companies which produce products, you could manufacture
    things in America, sell them around the world dirt cheap and make more real money
    than the Wall Street Casino makes simply because Wall Street is and up and
    down, win and lose program just like Las Vegas. If you haven’t been to Las
    Vegas, go there and see what I mean. The Protestors are aware of this; they
    just don’t know how to fix it. Give them a hand Bloomberg. Everyone likes a
    Hero. Show them you can separate the real money from the funny money by separating
    Wall Street into two parts, the “Wall Street Casino” and, “Wall Street True
    Investments.”

    It will take a little work but it will pay-off big
    time, for your children and mine in years to come.

    #3. “It comes at a cost.”

    Unfortunately so many of the OWS protesters seem to be protesting for free things. Free higher education, free health care, free homes, free cars, free retirement.

    You are right, Dan. Everything comes at a cost. Nothing in life is free. Unfortunately, many on the left want their freebies no matter who has to pay for it.

    It is shocking how Clinton is so revered  by the left, despite his treatment of women in subordinate positions. I find Clinton utterly creepy, but the left do love him so. They love all their sexual deviants.

    If your looking lawlessness, violence, and terrorism you need look no further than 2nd amendment remedies teabaggers.  People who realize the congress is just a political arm of multinational companies are a threat to the GOP brainwash everyone into thinking they can be rich when in fact it is a impossibility. There has to be a large amount of people living off minimum wage (or less) to keep our country going these millions will never live “The American Dream” and to suggest otherwise is ludicrous, yes some will succeed but for the most part they will live and die in poverty. But now because of outsourcing the jobs which they could hope to attain are gone and those that had them are unemployed. Seeing 90% of the wealth controlled by a small minority that can buy elections and run the country however they want using their politician puppets to get bills introduced or stalled. The OWS people could not be more American as trying to stop corporate interests from destroying our country.It’s funny how the GOP sees Obama as such a threat when all he’s trying to do is improve Americans standard of living, believes we can still accomplish goals, and heal our sick. Of course to the GOP alternative energy is too hard we can’t figure it out, improving schools why do that when we can be the manual labor for the world, give every American health care of course not if your poor DIE.

    Who was “obstructing” Obama his first two years in office? How many GOP votes did the Obamacare bill get again?

    One group went to town halls and contacted their reps en masse. The other group is having a giant party in NY with free food and free drugs. Want to compare arrests between the two?

    The first time the weather hits 30 degrees, these dimwits will go running back to mommies basement.

    Thanks to the dems. Had their not been a TARP bill, there wouldn’t have been a bailout. Somehow, liberals seem to leave their outrage towards government out of it.

    I question how many is “so many”. That’s certainly the meme that is being repeated over and over. How true is it? How do we find out? By listening to video clips provided by those who are purposely trying to discredit the movement?

    I have no doubt there are those who want free things.I also think there are many who want meaningful financial reform to help restore the working class and to create more opportunity for more people and to separate our elected officials , who are supposed to represent all citizens, from the corruption rampant in DC.  I think in the long run those are the voices that will win out. I think it’s a huge disservice to our fellow citizens to dismiss and mock them so eagerly without making  a real effort to listen.

    The “Occupy” movement demands two things in order that “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” When politicians are dependent on the people, then politicians will serve the people. Until then, politicians will serve who pays, who lobbies, and who feeds them.

    (1) We demand a law be made outlawing all forms of political lobbying. Include in the law the criminalization of the profession of political lobbyist.

    (2) We demand a law be made outlawing contributions to politicians or political campaigns from companies, corporations, or organizations of any kind. Allow only individuals to contribute, and require a full disclosure of all private or individual donors as to what company or organization they work for, own stock in, have a vested interest in, serve on one of their committees or boards, etc. And set a limit that no more than 2% of any political funding or financial support can come from one group no matter how many individual contributors donate from that group, company, corporation, or organization. This will require the rejection and return of donations that exceed the limit.

    creating jobs is a drop in the bucket in  comparison to all of our demands, Ex-president Clinton!

    So you’re saying that if some body has sinned then they should be completely disregarded from then on.  Wonder what Jesus would have to say on the subject.
