Fox News is a phony organization, owned by Rupert Murdoch. The same guy that owns News of the world, New York Post and the Sun. Those 3 are the scum of the earth, without a doubt. 

Well, I do think it speaks well of Canada that hosts calling guests “nutbars” seems to be a strange enough thing on Candian TV for it to be called out by the guest and become a headline in itself.  Here name calling on “news” shows is par for the course.

I haven’t watched CBC in years, though. They used to be the Canadian PBS, so it would be worrisome if they are trying to go the way of Fox News.

the headline should read ” a socialist journalist” but thats ok

Hmmm.  An anti-Fox meme?  I wonder if that will catch on?

You betcha!

As one of your Fox Heroine would say.

Wow…these guys need three things…1. A Shower.  2. Desire to Work.  3.  A cogent Point

‘This Sounds Like Fox News And I Don’t Go On Fox News!’

Translation:  I can’t handle the truth.

This is one of those rare days when skyfet make no Sense !

“If you want to shut down every corporation, every bank, where are you going to get a job? Where are you gonna work? Where’s the economy gonna go?” O’Leary barked.

“Duh, um, Obama’s stash?”, Hedges replied.

The dude’s got the IQ of a soap bubble.

He wishes . Ahhhhhh

Wealthy white guy who quoted Karl Marx and takes a dig at Fox.  He fits in well with the rest of the group thinkers in Lower Manhattan.

Watch this earlier interview with Chris Hedges about OWS and tell me he isn’t right about everything he says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz5RxhahHK0&feature=share

Dont take this the wrong way, but you sound like a left wing nutbar
Ha

Every liberal buzz word invented was used in 10 minutes.  I’m impressed. 

The man is your typical, run of the mill Marxist. 

China, Venezuela, USSR, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, China, North Korea, East Germany, and Grenada brought to you courtesy of Marxism.

This language is typical of the privileged who feel guilt for their own wealthy upbringing.  By the time you reach this mans age, one should have stopped rebelling against mommy and daddy.

Oh GOODY

Who cares if someone is a marxist? A Marxist works for the people, not those in power. I’m a marxist I think. 99% of America is now Marxist according to you.

I SUPPORT SOCIALISM AND MARXISM.

I say we stop calling them anything else, it’s time to rise up against the rich who have taken too much power and it’s time to spread that wealth back to the people. 

You have to realize, this OWS thing is a country changing thing, not like the pathetic Tea Party turds. Tea Party will be known for Sarah Palin, lol.

Congratulations, Snowspot!  I just increased your chocolate ration from 30g to 25g.

It smells to me as if Kevin O’Leary is looking for a job at FOX.

And so the family of little Goebbels-sickos is growing… Sigh!

“China, Venezuela, USSR, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, China, North Korea, East Germany, and Grenada brought to you courtesy of Marxism.”

You’re a smart guy, Turk, so I know you must realize that taking all of those countries and labeling them as ‘Marxist’ is intellectually dishonest.  For instance, there are massive fundamental differences between Sino-communism and Soviet communism.

Pretty compelling but the naysayers will call him a left-wing nutjob.

The CBC was never anything like PBS. And thankfully, not like FOX either.

I don’t care if you think I sound like Stalin, lol, how hilarious. I support Marxism, it’s not scary unless you’re in the 1%. I support socialism to a degree as well. :)

Look at this thread.  Republicans have been trained to support the fall of our economy.  Republicans have been trained to hate our country.

Let’s call him a Marxist! That way we don’t have to address any of his cogent points about, say, Goldman Sachs!

You Marxists chose to define waterboarding as “torture”. Fair enough. I do think there is ample room here to describe you Marxists as treasonous.

To avoid the abuses of the English law (including executions by Henry VIII of those who criticized his repeated marriages), treason was specifically defined in the United States Constitution, the only crime so defined. Article III Section 3 delineates treason as follows:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War
against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and
Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony
of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Proponents of Marxism, are fighting for and advocating for the advancement and implementation of the political and economic structure of our enemies. Is that correct? What is your advocacy and effort for, but for the purpose of overthrowing and/or replacing our system of governance and economic structure with the political and economic structure of our enemies? How are you not an enemy of this country? A desire to adopt their system of governance gives them Aid and Comfort, doesn’t it? You are openly advocating for it!

Is that why you leftists despise the Declaration of Independence as much as the US Constitution?

(märk’sĭz’əm)
n.

The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
in which the concept of class struggle plays a central role in
understanding society’s allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois
oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless
society.

Keep yapping, buddy, about your pals Marx, Lennin and Mao. You people are the very people this country has been through 2 major wars to defeat. The third time may be the charm.

Yep and all Muslims are terrorists, thanks for the deep analysis. 

The Sino split is irrelevant to me, Shogun83.  Because any form of communism is anti- human, freedom, and individual, at it’s very core.

The idea that a political class of elites should control or plan the lives of others by force is offensive to me.

I value freedom of expression, thought, and opportunity.  And I even value that you have an open forum to disagree or engage me.

I’m not sure how communism is ‘anti-human’.  The others I get, but ‘anti-human’ seems a bit of a stretch for me.

“The idea that a political class of elites should control or plan the lives of others by force is offensive to me.”
I won’t disagree there.  

The Sino Split may not matter much to you but it’s a pretty big deal to anyone that actually wants to understand modern Communism.  Blanket generalizations don’t serve discourse, at all.

That’s Kevin O’ Leary. He’s also on the Shark Tank and Dragen’s Den. He is the Don Cherry of business and a proud to be douchebag. Any comaprisons between the CBC and Fox News is laughable.

Hedges, ”wealthy”? A former writer for the New York Times, 7 years reporting from war zones such as El Salvador and the Middle East, brilliant author of important books such as “War Is What Gives Us Meaning”, educated at Harvard Divinty School, a principled active life dedicated to service, alleviating suffering and pain for humanity, and you have the blunt stupidity to puke the Know Nothing platitudes of Beck and the illiterates that inhale the proto-fascist nonsense on Fox? Shame on your sorry ass, take a walk amongst the “group thinkers” at Occupy Wall Street. They’ll listen to your inanities, and then initiate the long process of schooling you, perhaps you may learn, journey higher to the intellectual level where even you may actually quote Marx to indicate that you can read, think, even.

If they are all terrorists, as you say, they are your friends. Is that correct?

Every single Arab terrorist was Muslim. 100% of them.

“Keep yapping, buddy, about your pals Marx, Lennin and Mao. You people are the very people this country has been through 2 major wars to defeat. The third time may be the charm.”

Um.  The first World War occurred before there was a major government that resembled anything like Marxism.  In fact, Russia left the war because of the Bolshevik Revolution.  So, how can we have fought a war with a governing style that had yet to materialize?

The second World War?  Well, we were allied with the Communists, so…The Korean War?  You mean the war that hasn’t actually ended and has been at a stalemate for the past 60 years?  Yep.  We sure defeated them.The Vietnam War?  You mean that war we lost?

Isn’t if funny how you can tell a liberal just by looking at them?  I’m serious.  Look at the picture of that fool.

I have Arab friends, I live in a city, you need to get out more, lol. 

Is being a Marxist the reason you and your ilk despise the US Constitution, and the DOI? Too bad you can’t flee America to China, N.Korea or Cuba? Fidel would take you, if you had skills. You don’t belong in this country, Maxist clown.

Yeah, we should follow the Democrat Party and spend more Chinese money.  16 Trillion in debt just ain’t enough.

I know.  They got two birds stoned with that one.

When lefties do not have any facts to back up their claim the always revert to vulgar name calling, this just exposes you, get smart.

Hedges father was an Episcopal minister, he “rebelled” by  by attending Harvard Divinity School.

You’re “impressed”? Provide some evidence you have read more then the word “Marxist” Where does the quote “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point however is to change it.”, come from?

Your snow spot is yellow. Like all Marxists. Useful idiot.

I love the constitution, your side should read it sometime. 

Right! Ask the Police in the UK that the phone tapping evidence is not enough?

I’ll say one thing about lefties, they pick appropriate monikers.

“You’re a smart guy, Turk.” Please, he is a rightist, ant-communist wannabe near illiterate. Intellectual non-entity.

What about this is incompatible with freedom:

Marx’s theories: the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in which class struggle is a central element in the analysis of social change in Western societies.

Same old Birchite anti-communist blatherings, deeply behind the historical curve, impeding the motion of history forward to the irreversible decline of the barbarism of capitalism. Loser. Hide behind the flag, justify torture, they’ll rationalize ANYTHING as they sink..Careful, these folks are lethal,dangerous, would destroy the world in order to “save it”.

You too can purchase Hedges new book The World As It Is, emmettgrogan!

Go to multinational corporate giant Amazon.  It’s available for the low, low price of $17.91 or you can download it to your new Kindle Fire starting at just $199.  All major credit cards accepted. 

All profits of book sales will be donated to the personal wealth of Chris Hedges, where he will use them to make more money off of gullible liberals like yourself.

Did you not like the entire quote? Idiot? So is that classless society wealth for all, or poverty for all? Idiot.How about this one:

World English Dictionary

Marxism  (ˈmɑːksɪzəm)
 
— n
the economic and political theory and practice originated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that holds that actions and human institutions are economically determined, that the class struggle is the basic agency of historical change, and that capitalism will ultimately be superseded by communism.

Almost all of that debt is the result of stupid Republicans.  Even the money Obama spends is spent in an effort to fix all of the damage Republicans did.  Yet somehow, your leaders are able to convince you that somebody else is to blame.  You’re an amazingly stupid person.

Um.  The first World War occurred before there was a major
government that resembled anything like Marxism.  In fact, Russia left
the war because of the Bolshevik Revolution.  So, how can we have fought
a war with a governing style that had yet to materialize?

The
second World War?  Well, we were allied with the Communists, so…The
Korean War?  You mean the war that hasn’t actually ended and has been at
a stalemate for the past 60 years?  Yep.  We sure defeated them.The
Vietnam War?  You mean that war we lost?

What we don’t fight wars for the purpose of defeating the enemy? We had a 40 year cold war against communists. The Korean war has kept the communists at bay for 60 years, and Vietnam was pretty damn major wasn’t it?

America does not lay with the communist’s do we? So you are sniveling that we do, or something? That America is down with the advancement of communism? Is that what you are saying?

Even more ridiculous: where did I say we defeated communism? Please cite. As I am stating we have them in our midst, clown. Did that go over your too clever head? Siding with the Marxist to prove a point? Well as you so cleverly pointed out, so did America to DEFEAT the Nazi’s. Only difference is you seem to still be siding with them along with your clown wetspot. Or did I miss that? Useful idiot.

My feelings often get hurt when a pro-communist calls me an intellectual non-entity.

In the name of magical People Power and Democratic Power People who hold the Power of Social People’s Justice for Fairness along with the People’s Workers Justice Party in People’s Republic of Democratically People Lovers Justice givers of Ecological Fairness and People’s Justice, I ask you to apologize after a magical democratic vote by the Ministry of People.

The phrase the enemy of my enemy is my friend is a proverb
that advances the concept that someone who is the enemy of your enemy
is therefore your friend. It further means that because two parties have
a common enemy, one can use the other to advance their goals. Often
described as an Arabic proverb, there is also an identical Chinese proverb.

In foreign policy, it’s a doctrine commonly used to interact with a
significant enemy through an intermediary rather than through direct
confrontation.

Examples throughout history are common, such as longtime enemies Britain and France uniting against Germany during World War I, the Western capitalist democracies aiding the Soviet Union following the Nazi invasion during World War II, or U.S. support for anti-Communist dictatorships during the Cold War.

You liberals will side with any enemy to protect your Barry IN A HEART BEAT. Won’t you? Lenin would laugh in your face for the useful idiots you cannot help yourselves from being.

So you are a pro-communist wannabe? In America, that is a useful idiot. Please, is right. Do you always remark on “non-entities”?

What is it about the……why would you…….why can’t you just………you suck !!!!

Typical left-wing pile of crapola.  Move to Venezuela with the rest of the scum.  Vote out Democrats at every opportunity.

Clearly Hedges will not reap the “profits” of that dreadful primitive accumulation process of writing books, that no doubt you have not contributed to by purchasing the book, reading it..Have you read his brilliant essay for the Occupied Wall Street Journal isue #2: THIS REBELLION WILL NOT STOP”? Again, take a walk on the wild side, visit the site, listen, speak, learn. Go get yourself a bundle of papers, donate a few dollars, read, absorb, THINK, enrich yourself and materially advance the species. RE-Rread digest, discuss amongst your cohort of envious Know Nothings…Join, it’s exhilerating, edcating, fun…

By the way, read some of that Marx you clearly are ignorant of. “Profits”-are the surplus value appropriated by capitalists for the unpaid labor that created the commodities that the parasites live off, do not work for.

You got it real wrong, wannabe, this is no “gullible liberal” here. Some applied study will learn ya’…

Who trained you that Marxism is cool, cupcake? Ward Churchill? Billy Ayers? Yeah Marxism is real compatible with our ECONOMY? Keep talking, tool. Tell us more. Unbelievable.

Name one spending bill that Barry voted against. Barry inherited the very budget THAT HE VOTED FOR! Tool. Amazingly stupid tool.

“where did I say we defeated communism?”

I never said that you did.  

“As I am stating we have them in our midst, clown.”

I am aware of that, Bircher.  I’m saying that you’re paranoid.

Well, look. You’ve come a long way. You now admit that the Republicans destroyed our economy with some votes from Democrats.

Keep going with this. Keep following the facts instead of spewing the talking points. You’ll be able to think for yourself in no time.

Congratulations.

No offense, but only the seriously simple Republicans still use the insane Teabagger talking points.

Can’t really keep up too well can you?

Wetspot: Not all terrorists are muslim so your argument is automatically retarded, thanks for playing though.

That is nowhere near this: Every single Arab terrorist was Muslim. 100% of them. Is it?

You know, that’s one of the first comments on this page.  I’m not sure why you’re posting it twice, since the second post is below the first and somebody would likely have read the first before your repost.

Perhaps I said Arab when I meant muslim… but not every terrorist is a muslim, that was my point

I would have thought the ‘leftists/commies/socialists’ and ‘righties/nazis/fascists’ could have come to a similar consensus based on what Hedges was saying. Isn’t faceless financial domination the opposite of most of the principle? Solutions differ, but the problem is the same for the vast majority.

They want to rise up against the rich when in fact they should rise up against the government. All problems lead back to the government.

Everything you say is a liberal talking point. . Hate the country? Really? Give it up.

For a bunch of people with “higher intellect” they sure do lack common sense.

What a coward. All you cowards do is lie and run away.

Both are all about collectivism. 

That’s all you seem to have, cupcake. Talking points and cliché, like a hit-and-run lapdog.

It’s the useful idiots like you that let the Barny Frank’s and Chris Dodd’s walk, simpleton. No wonder they get away with so much, simpleton.

Moron, you’re using the term Marxism and have no idea what it means. Do you really think you should be trying to identify talking points? It’s like you’re coming right out and identifying yourself as a moron. I thank you for that, but what’s the point?

But  Fox ain’t news so what is their to catch unto it is just stating facts.

shogan83: I am aware of that, Bircher.  I’m saying that you’re paranoid

I can’t think of a better reason to call you a useful idiot, can you? Did you forget I pointed that out to you? That your support of one who supports Marxism is a useful idiot that even Lenin would laugh at? I put your self admitted Marxist friend to shame, and you dance to his defense. The perfect example of USEFUL IDIOT. No paranoia, just straight forward evidence of the phrase: useful IDIOT.

And with the emphasis on group consensus, so is a democracy.  Your point?

Collectivism is not a bad thing itself.  Individualism and collectivism are not mutually exclusive.

Bingo.  It serves the status quo to keep the people divided and arguing.  It makes it much easier to accomplish shady policy when everyone is arguing about how we go about ‘gettin’ rid of them illegals’.

Oh, and Cloward-Piven.

Accurate quotes are significant. The “..perhaps you may learn, journey higher to the intellectual level where even you may actually quote Marx…” etc,. is a specific reference to turk281′s need to progress educationally, beyond the demonstrated infantile disorders of the nonsense he writes, NOT the “bunch of people with “higher intellect” you woefully misquote. A little attention to the actual text will indicate some basic common sense. Think before you write. 

“I can’t think of a better reason to call you a useful idiot, can you?”

Considering that you have used that tired term in most of your posts on this article, I’d say that you really don’t need a reason to say it.  Rather, it seems to have the tendency of coming out.

I don’t dance to defend anyone.  I ‘dance’ to point out that you’re wrong.  At any rate, your desire to charge marxists as traitors was tried before.  It didn’t turn out so well.

So your point was that obvious? Oh, my! Did you have an epiphany to conclude that? Did you arrive at that conclusion by yourself? Wow who would have thought that not every terrorist is a Muslim? Wow, you go out on a limb on that statement, don’t you? Hey, did you know that not all blacks are uncle Toms if they don’t agree with Barry? Not all whites owned slaves? Not all conservatives want dirty air and water, but still dont like the the unelected power of the EPA? That not wanting illegal aliens does not mean we hate Hispanics? That just because Barry 0bama is a failure, it does not make those who disagree with him racist? Did you know that? Hey did you know that every Arab terrorist was Muslim?

I guess this represents those “facts” you’re so proud of.  Sounds like left-wing mish-mash to me.

Refill your bong dude, you’re getting stale.

Those you’ve mentioned are no doubt this clown’s idols.

Yes, the fact of the matter is that Republicans are defending the bankers who, with the help of Republicans, destroyed our economy. Do you disagree? Do you see something else happening?

Nobody is running away, except you from the truth.  Been to any house parties at Barney’s lately?
We do see something else happening and we see it’s not working too well – in fact it’s a massive fail so deflection is your only option.  If you for a second think that Obama agrees with the protesters than you are nuttier than a fruit cake.  It just takes the heat off him for a millisecond.

TruDat goes around posting silly stuff like this because he knows the facts don’t serve him.

 ”Spread the wealth back to the people”?? When were”the people” ever wealthy? When they were buying homes they couldn’t afford on loans they could never pay back? Seems to me the wealth would go back to the people when the government stops taking it away from them. The “people” are not monolithic, nor are we mind-numbed enough to believe socialism actually would work. We have enough examples of it not working to assuage whatever doubts we have. 
 And, if you truly do support socialism, great. Move. This country is a constitutional republic, not a socialist one. You wanna surround yourself with some hygienically challenged, bongo-beating miscreants, you go right ahead,, but you loom far more pathetic than Wasilla Barbie ever did.

Please read your post. It proves you’re a moron.

You’re so afraid of facts that you have to post crazy gibberish.

we’re wondering the same thing there cupcake.  What exactly is your point?  What do you want?  How do you want it?  Why do you think that we don’t know what the term Marxism means?  Is there some secret about Marxism that only a select few know (like the fact that it doesn’t work)?  

Truly, do educate us on the finer points of marxism. 

If Obama’s spending is to “fix” the damage republicans have done, then why did Harry tell him to blow it out his nose?  

Hmmm – and we’re stupid (doesn’t say much for your great leader now does it?)  Our guy said no, Harry said “I agree” and Obama is out campaigning.  Who the hell is in charge?

“I waz gittin’ all deze sof’ball questions lobbed at me and den all of a sudden he axed me a REAL question”, exclaimed  Hedges
“I was dumfloundered….I din’t know whats to say!”, he whined.
“I din’t know dey hads dat FOX channel in Canadada”
Hedges then sulked off the stage whimpering something anout Bill O’Reilly….
 

Really? Couple of questions Who initiates spending? When did the libs take over both House and Senate? 

“ You’re an amazingly stupid person. ”

That one always gives me a hardy chuckle, thanks!

 That would be WW2 and the Cold war? Stopping the spread of National Socialism on the one hand, with its murderous racism, and International Coomunism on the other hand, with its mass killings and genocide. An erudite point. Odd that so many Marxists continue to wave that tattered little red book around, hoping and praying the dialectic moves them to a utopian future, not realizing that the future happened already, that the Communist Manifesto failed like so many other manifesto’s  do, and that the only revolution in this country has already happened some 240 or so years ago.
 But so much hate filled invective against the traditions of this nation, so much venom and ignorance in almost equal measure. Truly these children are the voice of the modern left; a screaming, wailing wall of sound, signifying nothing at all.

If one can quote Marx, one is a thinker?  You’re going with that statement?  

Don’t care what 
Chris’ credentials are – he’s an idiot, and not a very useful one.  He went to Harvard?  Indicating that he wanted for naught and could leisurely stay in school while the checks kept rolling in.  

p.s. Beck also went to Divinity School (think he thought it was so divine he left after the first semester) – I’m sure it wasn’t Harvard cause he was a poor kid – but whatevah.

“I post facts”

“You now admit that the Republicans destroyed our economy with some votes from Democrats.”

“Almost all of that debt is the result of stupid Republicans.  Even the money Obama spends is spent in an effort to fix all of the damage Republicans did.”

Do you do 2 shows a night?

Are you joking? They took both houses in 2007, after Republicans destroyed the economy. And Bush was President through 2008.

When did you think that happened, moron? Are you trying to prove how stupid you are? Mission accomplished.

He calls himself a socialist, but if you’re happier with marxist, fine with me.  

 Wasn’t Sino-Communism adapted from Soviet Communism? Absolutely. It then adapted again, realizing it was going bankrupt, and it brought in capitalism. What you have now is something approaching Italian style Fascism in China, with the government and military controlling the markets. But its root was the same, so there is no “intellectual dishonesty”.

 ”Ant-communist”? And you are seriously calling him illiterate? You are not one to cast stones, comrade.
Your near-vacuous faith in a dead religion would be comical except its tragic. Show me a happy communist country, one with the same freedoms to complain that you have. Then, move there.

Well, at least you now admit that Republicans destroyed the economy. You’ve come a long way.

See what facts can do?

There’s no way to have Marxism when all of the money flows to the corporations (in this case, to the banks). That’s what’s happening under Obama. It’s known as capitalism.

What you are saying is precisely the opposite of reality. You have been systematically trained to be a moron, but you’re too stupid to realize it.

 And collectivism as practiced by National and International Socialists and Communists, leads to terrible conformity, oppression and genocide that would make the trail of tears pale in comparison. Work camps on the one hand and Gulags on the other. Collectivism buries the individual, so its central tenant is against personal liberties (like property rights). It is antithetical to everything that this republic was founded on and for.
 Shogan83, surely you realize we are not a democracy? We are a Republic. That is a point you seem to miss. We look after minorities, even if unruly mobs dislike that.

 You know, to be ignorant of the massive, systematic fraud that took place in the non-prime mortgage sector is one thing, followed by securities fraud ect.. I don’t expect everyone to fully understand the calamity of what’s happened, and why there hasn’t been any criminal prosecutions; but, to call fox news “the truth”, a large steak of which is owned by Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal– is really a whole nother level of delusional thinking. Honestly, I just feel bad for you…

Yeah, that’s what I figured, great answer. I didn’t know Barney Frank posted here. And you have the audacity to call anyone a moron?  Keep making apologies and deflecting the truth.  I never said it wasn’t Republicans moron, you seem to think only 2 Dems were responsible, who’s the dope? Eh Barney? Geez, lead around by your furry nose and loving it.  What a lemming.

 That’s because those places implemented the changes he sought. Odd, isn’t that..

I think I see a boogey man.  Wait, let me take another hit, yep, that’s the boogey man alright.

Apparently you do.  Are you really Rachel Maddow?

Keep telling yourself that and maybe your psychiatrist will give you a day out of your cell.

Woops, you conveniently overlooked all the facts I posted.

And now you’re conveniently setting aside the fact that you were tricked by the Republican leaders who told you what to think.

Why do you work so hard at being a stupid person? Don’t you understand that you will never be free until you learn to think for yourself?

 Er, one side is advocating the violent redistribution of wealth, which would subsequently destroy the economy. The other side wants to balance the fiscal budget. 
 One side wants to crush banks and free enterprise and has “a boot on the throat” of the private sector, the other wants a smaller less invasive government.
 So, I take it your from North Korea, right?

Please stop. It makes no sense for you to be mad at facts. You should be made at yourself for being so stupid as to reject facts.

Don’t be afraid of truth. Just because Republican leaders have taught you to fear reality does not mean reality will harm you. Try, please try, to think for yourself. I promise it won’t hurt.

 Compelling would be offering some proof that “shutting down the banks” would do anything but make life infinitely more difficult for the average citizen.

Nice lies. How about some truth now:

Wealth has been radically redistributed to the top by Republicans. In doing so, Republicans destroyed our economy. Obama has done nothing to change that in any way.

Please try to understand that you are a stupid person. You have been systematically trained to say precisely the opposite of the truth.

If you think I’m wrong in any way, let me know. Do you disagree that wealth has been redistributed to the top? Do you disagree that our economy has been destroyed in the process? Do you disagree that Obama has done nothing to curtail that? Do you have some reason to believe you are not a stupid person?

Let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

 You have missed spelling errors on two of your last three posts, so you are hardly one to say anybody needs to think before they write. Seriously, you use English like Obama uses other peoples money, and accomplish just as little. You are a “bitter-clinger” to that old, dead religion of class struggle. I prefer more  verve and esprit in my religious fantasies, and more concise spellers, as well.

China?  Our largest trading partner and loan shark?  Venezuela? How does your car run on CITGO? East Germany and the USSR doesn’t exist (but it’s not hard to find German products or Luk Oil gas stations), Vietnam is the new home of Nike….

 Hey—Marxism doing quite well around the world as far as our budget deficits and coporate greed is concerned.

–Cobra

“you conveniently overlooked all the facts I posted.”

No I saw a whole pile of steaming hyperbole but not many facts. You libs are a hoot, you think you know everything and everyone that disagrees is a moron or someone else does their thinking for them.  Kind of  just like thinking people believe you are. Being a party shill and apologist is no way to go through life.   Have a nice breakdown Barney!

Show me the hyperbole, or admit that you’re a compulsive liar.

 Marxism had to adopt the one system that worked, and even that wasn’t enough to keep Russia Soviet and all the oil in the world won’t long help Venezuela, whose economy is growing sicker by the day, in tandem with her dictator.
 China brought in capitalism because they faced the same stagnation as the Soviets (who tried Perestroika too late)under the “reformer” Deng.Vietnam is China’s rival, so she must try to keep pace. Marxism, except in the frail old hallows of academia, is all but dead.

it should.  it’s just GOP propaganda. 

why bother watching it unless you like yelling, blonde kewpies and unfunny late night programs a la “Red Eye”.  why bother watching unless you prefer comedy in the morning by “Fox and Friends”?  why bother watching unless you don’t mind fear, hysteria and lies?

honestly, why bother watching any of the 24 hour “news” shows?  you commented somewhere about liberal buzz words as though your side doesn’t use them all.the.time. 

f*ck, it was FNC that asked questions such as “was that a terrorist fist jab?” or “is there a muslim cresent on that summit logo?”  but if you like stupid, Fox has it for you in spades.

Stalin and Pol Pot were totalitarian dictators, not any kind of socialists or liberals.

Chris Hedges won a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of Al-Qaeda in Europe. He was a war correspondent for 20 years for the NYT. He witnessed conflict first-hand in Sarajevo, Venezuela, and many other places first hand. The NYT attempted to censure him from writing anything about the War in Iraq after a speech he gave at a college against it during the buildup to war, noting the fear-mongering and hysteria the government and right wing was spitting out, he left instead. Chris Hedges is not a typical anything, and his intellectual prowess and lucidity is far beyond anything on corporate media. I guess you can’t blame Kevin O’Leary for freaking out and resorting to name calling after Chris lays on the table the hideous reality of what corporations are doing to the US and the world. The only thing typical here, is your response as an illiterate troglodyte.

 Ah, Trevor, you are a tactless individual, probably making up for some personal lack somewhere. Now, where were we..Ah, yes, part 1 of “schooling imbeciles” starring you.
 1. Wealth is not “redistributed” by republicans, but by the market, unless the government intervenes in said market (like the housing market) or banking loans (see Fannie/Freddie) both managed by banks with ties to the current administration. So Dodd (D) and Barney Frank(D) are as responsible for our current mess as any republican you can name, probably more so, as they were warned of the impending collapse of the housing bubble long before it burst.We can draw a lesson; wherever government gets into bed with the private sector, it generally suffers as a consequence (see Tarp).
 2. Obama has adapted a Keynesian approach, spending lavishly monies we do not have on things like Solyndra (dumb) or Sunpower (dumber) while neglecting oil and nuclear infrastructures. The difference is oil and nuclear have a history of working, but they are messy, solar neither pollutes nor works on the scales necessary.
 3. Point out the lie in my previous post, or admit you are an idiot. Where is the Democrats budget for this year? Or last? Don’t have one? Then we can’t say they want a balanced budget, can we? We can also say the Democrats who were in charge of Congress and the Senate but did not pass any budget whatsoever, are more responsible than Bush, as everyone knows,(even complete idiots) that Congress is in charge of the spending in our Republic. Please try to understand, you don’t offend me, you amuse me, as most self-righteous fanatics of the religious persuasion do. I would urge you to learn a bit about this nation before opening your mouth and looking more ignorant of its recent history.

Lenin didn’t create the foundations of socialism nor develop the philosophy of it. He simply developed the strategy of using a core of what he called professional revolutionaries to work with trade unions to overthrow the Tsarist autocracy. Try reading sometime.

Marxist economics is alive and well. Marxist economists like Richard Wolff commonly advise large companies, financial institutions, and policy makers. So there are plenty of people that take Marx seriously.

Claiming that socialism is anti-American is baseless. Socialism is an economic theory, not a political one. It simply stresses that those that produce should reap most of the benefits of what they produce, where capitalism stresses the raw accumulation of capital. Socialism recognizes the importance of humanity and the resources we depend on, while capitalism simply commodifies everything. You could implement more socialist policies in the US, and our system of government would still be the same. Plenty of other countries have working socialist democracies with much better standards of living, healthcare, and employment then we have here. Germany is a good example.

Human greed is a constant if left unchecked will devour our Western economies. It really isn’t THEIR fault, it’s ours for allowing our politicians for allowing it to happen.

Watching a facist movement rise up and murder thousands of people in Sarajevo was a change he sought? You literally have no idea what you are talking about. He was a war correspondent for the NYT for 20 years and has won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Al-Qaeda in Europe.

1. Moron, every time you lower taxes on things like capital gains, you redistribute wealth to the top. The rich now pay lower marginal tax rates than the middle and lower classes. This is a HUGE shift, a HUGE redistribution of wealth.

2. Obama spends hundreds or thousands of times more money on oil and nuclear power than on solar power. The reason you’re confused is because you’re stupid. You will believe anything, no matter how crazy it is.

3. Do you understand now that you are a stupid person, that you are completely incapable of thinking for yourself?

 And they were both re distributionist’s and communists who believed in changing society to suit their own ideals. And if you think Pol Pot was not a socialist or liberal, you know too little of his early career, when he was involved in the “Freedom Front” and WKP in Cambodia. That he later became a totalitarian dictator (as do all progressives) shows the danger inherent is that brand of thinking. Stalin also believed in “Socialism in one country” so to denounce him as anything but socialist is ludicrous. It was only after 1928 that Stalin replaced the relatively liberal “new economic policy” with his more centralized 5 year plan, thus edging into totalitarian territory, so you cannot disown them.
 

  Perhaps they were simply similar nutbars, though the Serbians were not Fascist, but Nationalists. And, yes, I actually do have a fairly decent idea of what I am talking about, as anyone with a clear memory or a decent understanding of history will recall how excited progressives were when a certain smallish vegetarian was elected in Germany (made man of the year in Time!) or the trains running on time in Rome or how “Uncle” Joe was modernizing Russia right out of the middle ages. Constant fawning over revolutionaries goes back to Robespierre, and frankly, I could care less. (and do you know why I draw your attention to the fact the Serbians were not Fascists? Because in the second World War II the Croats were, and killed millions of Serbs. That you think the Serbs would suddenly become fascist is perplexing. Perhaps you were using it as a general term?)

1. Idiot, it was a Kennedy who initially lowered them. Know your history. 
2.Obama spends money? That is not his job. Do your knees and elbows ache?
He has made drilling in the Gulf far more difficult, only letting BP resume its new leases (oddly they gave generously to his campaign..)
3. I think we can both agree that you are an idiot, and merely attack anyone here as opposed to actually addressing the points presented. You don’t actually argue, but merely shout names and act churlish.

Moron, you’ve been trained to say precisely the opposite of the truth in every instance. There’s been a HUGE, UNDENIABLE, CERTAIN shift of wealth to the top, but because you’re so AMAZINGLY STUPID, you say precisely the opposite. Think about that. When I call you stupid, I’m not calling you names. I trying to make you realize that you are AMAZINGLY stupid.

If you want to say that the Obama administration does not spend money, fine. But your complaint was that they wasted money on solar power. If that wasn’t your point, what the hell was your point?

Please, please, please, try to think for yourself. Try to realize that you have been trained to say the exact opposite of the truth in every instance. Republican leaders know how stupid you are, so they use you to do their evil bidding. You don’t have to be an evil, stupid person for the rest of your life. If you ever escape, you will be amazed at the sense of pride and freedom that come with thinking for yourself. Good luck.

 Idiot, you really need to get off your knees and realize you are being used because you are a tool. It suits you. The complaint was crony capitalism. Think G.E. or “too big to fail” companies like Bear-Stearns.Follow the money. Who do these people donate to? Are you such an idiot I have to connect the dots?
 You don’t have to act like a child forever, just get a clue.You are part of the problem. Every purchase you make, every watt of electricity you use, the money continues to trickle to the uber-rich.You want to turn off the internet for yourself? Awesome, but your still an imbecile. The real guilty party is government.
 You were wrong about capital gains, and your a hypocrite about Fannie/Freddie which caused the housing bubble through sub-prime loans. If you are going to be an angry (but funny looking) little b*tch, you might as well be an informed one, too.

When are you yahoos going to get off this socialist bull? The 99 is about how everyone but the top 1% took a beating because of wall street/bank greed. If you had a 401K, you lost money. If you own property, you lost money. Many, many jobs were lost. Many lost their homes and yet who profited from the meltdown? Wall ZStreet, banks. They got bail out while main street took it in the shorts. What about that do you not comprehend?

TruDat

No one is talking about shutting down these organizations but ignorant simpletons. It is about criminalizing the wall street/ bank rip off of America. You either got hurt by the 2007 crash, 99%, or you profited, 1%.

Polar barbie anything but a quitter. 

Timmy, the teabaggers hero, was 100% christian, ALL CHRISTIANS ARE TERRORIST. That can be backed up by the European guy who murdered children in the name of geesus.

Faux is an entertainment network. THEY ADMITTED IT IN COURT.

That still would be about 100 points higher than any teabagger dumbed down by faux.

 Alright, let me explain this one more time for the hard of understanding (Scrzbill, this is you). Wall street and the banks were forced by the federal government (gentlemen with names like Raines (D) Dodd (D) and Schumer (D) to make loans that they knew were going to go bad. These “less than perfect” loans came to be called “subprime”, and were used to drive the housing bubble. The biggest lender in this bubble was Fannie/Freddie. Why aren’t you protesting those institutions? This isn’t about “banks” this is about common sense..it was the government that caused this mess; the banks would not have made half those loans, for fear of losing money. Then the bubble finally burst.
 Now those loans are bad, and the properties have liens. The banks seize the properties, getting some of their money back, and donate a hefty chunk to a certain party in D.C. And no, it wasn’t the G.O.P. Remember the phrase “too big to fail”? That was the sound of your taxes bailing out a bank, that then that money being dumped into the coffers of a political party. Who has links to Citigroup? If you lost money (and almost everyone did) it helps to know why the banks collapsed, and who was pulling the levers.
 Honestly, it could be worse. With a VATS style tax, we would be in Europe’s position or worse. I could go into exhaustive detail if you like, but this is a good start.
 BTW, the socialist “bull” was from the signage the OWS protesters have, as well as the recent speech given in California. The OWS seems to think “closing” the banks will somehow make things better, when they are simply patsies. This isn’t about the 1% who held their wealth, but the government betting, and losing billions (or trillions) of your tax dollars.
 Always be suspicious of men who want power.

“Show me the hyperbole, or admit that you’re a compulsive liar. “It would be a shorter list to show you the facts . … ..  Now admit you’re a shill…it’s OK, we all know.  Have a nice life, Barney.

Chris Hedges is a nut job…………   go hug a tree and stop using deodorant,  guys like him to move the middle east and live in a mud hut and hate america 

Did anyone actually watch the video and read the article? Apparently not.

1. The interview did not take place on Fox News. The commentator of the show was treating his guest like he was on Fox News (i.e. he had no grace and refused to discuss the issues with his guest like an adult). 
2. The commentator of the show insulted his guest, not vice-versa. 
3. The guest made the commentator look a total fool. 

All O’Leary has is insults and ad hominem attacks. That’s really all the 1%’s media has got because they know their arguments will crumble under scrutiny, especially by real journalists like Hedges. Best to distract, obfuscate, and deflect. Anything to keep people from discussing what is really going on.

Oh this is about the 1% tho…..It starts at the top and the bullshit and corruption flows downhill !

Occupy Wall Street : 911 truthers and socialists.

@ Eric Albin, I’ve got news for you rummy. You are stupid. LOL! KoreanTrevor ripped you apart like a pathetic bag of chips. Too bad your mom didn’t get an abortion, that would have been a mighty fine contribution to the human race.

Hedges is a brilliant analyst. What a great slap down of that conservative clown of a  cunt-bag O’Leary. This is what the right wing does: obfuscate and distract from the facts. What idiots.  By the way, it was Wall St bankers and investment houses, not Fanny and Freddie, who led the way to this collapse. Stop the bullshyte.

As a student just using the newscast excerpt as a piece for a synthesis thesis, I read down to the comments below the article to see if there were any intelligent statements I could incorporate.

I’d like to note that I immediately was disgusted by the fact that so many of you (not everyone, but a fair number) just followed the lead of the O’Leary, and sunk to insulting each other, rather than merely commenting on your own opinion on the newscast. Who gives a damn if someone made a spelling mistake on a post? Really now. That is no reflection of intelligence, just of your own immaturity.

The reason all of this is happening is because people have the freedom of speech and opinion, and by laughing at or directly insulting someone’s opinion, you do a better job of making yourself look like a fool than whatever “funny” thing the person you felt the need to insult did in the first place.

The reason this newscast is “going viral” is because people often find humor or debate in a person of professional merit making themself look like a fool on pubic television. A few of you deserve to have your comments made viral. There’s a reason few people use their name on the comments; would you say the same things if the words could be traced to you?
