This is propaganda in its purest form. Grandma Piven knows the game well, and plays her victim card very competently – Beck plucked HER out of tens of thousands of people – she wrote a “little article” 45 years ago, she’s getting “death threats” etc… Alas, she gives the game away at the end when she starts down a forbidden road and then abruptly stops…Watch her closely at the 4:07 mark.
Oops…I don’t think she was supposed to go there. Do you think she was wearing an earpiece, and someone told her to cheese it?
In her December 2010 Nation column, Piven wrote: “Local protests have to accumulate and spread — and become more disruptive — to create pressures on national politicians. An effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece. . . .” Given Piven’s strategic stance, it’s clear that she and The Nation are in fact calling for violence. Her denial of this lacks all credibility. Similarly, when The Nation’s editors defend Piven by referring to her support for “civil disobedience” and “street protest,” they are attempting to create the impression that Piven is a virtual disciple of Martin Luther King Jr., when in fact her longstanding strategy has little if anything to do with nonviolence.
Progressive radio host Amy Goodman recently invited Piven to appear on her show to speak about Beck and her other conservative critics. Goodman played an excerpt from my appearance on Beck’s show. There I noted Piven’s prominent role at the Socialist Scholars Conferences that Barack Obama attended in the 1980s. Commenting on my statement, Piven said that it was “crazy” to call her a socialist.

Very interesting.
Also more here!
what she say at the ned?
Lying, evil b****.
She can’t even lie well on socialist Regime Media MSNBC.
bump for later viewing
These people know what they are doing.
Another leftist philosopher who flies under the radar is John Rawls, a lot of social justice crap comes from his work.
I watched that a few times. That was truly remarkable. It was a “holy sh!!” moment for me. Especially considering where she was going. I think the reason that the government increases the time period for unemployment benefits is to avoid exactly what she was starting to address.
And then she OBVIOUSLY realizes, via off camera prompting, or from within, “I need to stop talking about this.”
That figures, she would go on PMSNBC the most left wing of the mid stream media. Commies of a feather all flock together! She must be like an idol to these whacked out whackos!
Earpiece: "FRANCES! SHUT THE F*** UP ... NOW!!!"
The “V” word was next. Overloards yelled stop! She stopped. As transparent as it gets.
And don’t forget this memorable slap-down of Frances by Thomas Sowell! (Milton Freedom: Free to Choose, 1980):

Ha! That was great. THanks.
I don’t know. It could have been a sound lead-in for the break, but rather than be “brief”, she “stopped” altogether.
After her awkward reaction to what she did hear, there was plenty of framing accomplished by the tank moderater, for her victim status, that took them into the break.
“Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the intelligent minority?”
I can’t believe the host asked that question. I think MSNBC has one more host to sh*t-can ASAP!!!
Why?why?why?....huh...that guy is terrible...i give him 3 months.......bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. she was so funny....had no clue. When he was talking you can see she is trying to listen to what she is being told in the earpiece...she was completely lost...he was like...”i hope your alright(meaning from the threats), but i think he was hoping she was alright, because she had a major brain fa**......bwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...priceless.
That was the most amazing verbal full-stop I’ve seen in quite a while. Shelia Jackson Lee’s “we will take over your companies!” gaffe a year or so ago isn’t even close.
I wonder what she was about to say, something along the lines of “I wonder why they’re not rioting, burning down the legislature, shooting policemen...” ?
I hope this video gets distributed far and wide to her students in NYC.
