Granholm: 'I love the Occupy Wall Street movement' [Mega-barf]
Current TV ^ | 11/15/11 | Current TV

Posted on 11/15/2011 7:19:24 PM PST by Numbers Guy

Jennifer Granholm, host of "The War Room," says she loves the Occupy movement and discusses what she'd like to see come out of it. She also says she's excited to join Keith Olbermann and Cenk Uygur in their coverage of the protests, which balances the mainstream media's focus on scattered clashes with police and other skirmishes.

You really need to go back and read up on what happened. Barry’s gestapo dragged many of the bankers into a room and forced them to take the money. Most didn’t want it and tried to not take it. The gestapo made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. That commie piggy Barry and his clown buddy, Georgie Soros brought on most of this mess.

OWS aren't doing shit to banks. They were protesting the Americans for Prosperity conference and riots. They ignored Goldman Sachs. They ignored George Soros.

Don't be fooled by their title.

Obama is the man who sells pitchforks, torches, and insurance against them.

I’m astounded as well. And I thought she had returned to Canada in a load of garbage. She left Michigan AS a “blown away” state as promised.

I love OWS also because they are the only ones that are giving the banksters hell for what they did to the US and global economies and being rewarded with taxpayer bailout, and bonuses while the rest of the US must suffer from their reckless behavior. Remember no high ranking CEO banker went to jail or firms shutdown. They are too big to fail and the rest of us are too small to save.

I agree 100%.

You’re kind of an idiot aren’t you?

I think people who willingly bend over and grab their ankles are the real idiots.

Wake the hell up! The government threatened the banks to force them to give the loans to people they knew could never pay them back under the liberal socialist “American Reinvestment Act”

Whenever a conservative tried to rein in Freddy-mac and Fannymae, Chris Dudd and Barney Frankenfurter called them “racist” an the liberal socialist blocked all attempts to stop the forced loans to minorities who could not pay them back!

The banks and the bankers did the only thing they could, loaned the money, then sold the worthless paper to someone else in order to stay in business.

Stop spewing your liberal socialist talking points and look at the real facts!

“I hate to say this but I love OWS also because they are the only ones that are giving the banksters hell for what they did to the US and global economies and being rewarded with taxpayer bailout, and bonuses while the rest of the US must suffer from their reckless behavior. Remember no high ranking CEO banker went to jail or firms shutdown. They are too big to fail and the rest of us are too small to save. Let the Tea Party concentrate on making big gov smaller and let the OWS kick the bankers in the butt and make them fear for their lives. Once the bankers are cut down to size we should deal with the OWS movement.”

I know it’s not a popular opinion here, but I see it about the same way you do.
The fact that so many bankers are still collecting salaries and bonuses is IMHO BS. I know one of the arguments here is that it’s governments fault, but I think it’s nearly impossible to separate government from special interests lobbyists anymore and that goes for both parties and a majority of all elected officials.

“she loves the Occupy movement and discusses what she’d like to see come out of it.”

Is she talking about the bowel movement “caught on tape”

So how is going around raping people, smoking pot, refusing to take a bath and leaving garbage all over the place, going to help the situation?

“So how is going around raping people, smoking pot, refusing to take a bath and leaving garbage all over the place, going to help the situation?”

It’s certainly gotten media talking about it.
And while the weirdos living in the parks are mostly just what you’d expect, plenty of average people that I know support this as well. You’re going to believe what you want to believe, but the economic situation is going to hit critical mass. There’s way to many people who did it right for years that are now finding themselves screwed. When those same people look at bankers bailing out with multi million dollar parachutes leaving the economy in ruins they tend to feel angry.
It’s both parties and most of the career senators and congressmen. Imo they’re all on the take and they’re all owned by the same group.

I’ve got a friend of mine who is not political. He’s a musician and hasn’t ever made very much money. He says there’s nothing like a global economic meltdown to make him feel better about his own decisions because while he may not have very much he at least lived the life he wanted and a lot of people he grew up with that took the responsible road are now in worse shape than he is, even after working a steady job for 20 years.

Well it certainly provided me with a teachable moment for my kids.

I was able to show them what will happen to them if they don’t study hard in school.

“I blame the government more than the bankers....much more.”

Like I said, you’re going to believe what you want to believe.
I can’t really tell where bankers, and lobbyists end and where senators and congressmen start.

They're one in the same....yet I don't see these losers picketing the White House. So forgive me if I'm unimpressed.

I didn’t say you should be impressed. I simply pointed out why I don’t find them offensive as some here.
IMO the bankers and the government are the same set of thieves.
I don’t have a problem with anybody pointing that out and if this gets enough people stirred up to get term limits or big time special interests money out of government, well I don’t care who got the ball rolling.
