Occupy Rose Parade Protesters

[chillaxer1993]

what is the goal of the occupy movement? do they want a free handout? I'm sorry but you have to work to get what you want. when i was at the rose parade i went up to one and said what are you protesting and they gave me some vague rambling. the occupy constituents are lazy fucks who have all the right in the world to have free speech but they are just making asses of themselves. nobody really cares about them.

[l3urns1]

the media does not want to encourage people empowerment. they want you scared so you consume what they advertise

[ShiverTimbers]

lame



[thepolice911copeland]

they make it sound like there was no problem with thousands of people living inside a private park.

[Cloudhopper4]

@thepolice911copeland It's not a private park. Do your homework. And there is nothing wrong with people exercising their first amendment rights. Unless you are communist or fascist.

[AlexTheMartian]

I love you Cenk, but please stop calling it the "rose bowl parade", it is the Rose Parade (or technically, Tournament of Roses Parade). The game was added in 1902 to help fund the cost of the parade, which started in 1890.

[daboogalooghost]

Douchebags

[ReefThinker]

If $5m is a non-issue, why argue with it? And I'm pretty sure Obama had a part in leaving the Bush tax cuts in place. 

[toxi87]

hahahaha....

[toxi87]

There would be a sluggish zero.

[pinochska]

did ana get a nose job??

[fakesmith797]

/watch?v=9FLg2eZstno&feature=r­elated

video of the rose parade.

[0prahTV]

As long as those fucking hippies don't shit in our parks, it's cool.

[iamtheplauge]

There's rarely a TYT video I have to thumbs down. This wasn't it. lol

[Kariakas]

Mainstream media coverage is a joke. I watched ABC during the Iowa and the only mention of Ron Paul was when they'd show the numbers. They had segments on everyone else, even Michele Bachman who got a whopping 5% of the votes and they fail to cover another who got 21%. What terrible journalism, so much coverage of non issues and so many issues ignored or badly reported. At least they don't outright lie like FOX does but they aren't far off.

[doublecrosserfm]

why did ana say garbage like us english people do?



[waswestkan]

@doublecrosserfm Of of course in the way Ana pronounced garbage, her intent was to show disdain for the so-called 1%. As apposed Cenk's way over the top depictions of the stuffier 1%. Nothing personal to the English intended.

[lestliness]

It's true, local news will cover stupid shit like jesus's face in a peace of toast over anything really newsworthy.

[Roeshamboe05]

I hate the way these clips are being edited. Can we change the editing format please, it feels so set up and staged this way. Go back to the unedited versions.

[Clanki]

@TheYoungTurks

Cenk don't you mean got paid NOT TO cover it?

That seems more realistic somehow.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

Haven't even seen the video yet, but that description is awesome.

[dextertheninja]

I never understood why the have "Imagine Peace" signs when they are occupying over taxes

[philosophermike]

love the CC "They decided to create a human slug"

[gekapat]

They are finding new ways of being ignored by the corporate media

[brlknmz]

its news worthy because its occupy movement in a family event. if the parade is news worthy then so should the occupiers.

[AssRapingHorseCock]

What about America isn't commercialized at this point?

[PyROphantasie]

Republicans: Penny wise, Dollar stupid.

[Relyt22]

The media didn't cover it because it wasn't interesting. It had nothing to do with who was paying them, it had more to do with what gives them ratings.

[Relyt22]

Rose Parade is a family event, not a political event. Rose Bowl would be better because it's not serious and they wouldn't really give a shit who marches in their parade.

[EdM021]

The Revolution will not be televised and it probably won't happen in my lifetime or a long, long, time. It'll happen when the top 0.1% and their politician lackeys screw the rank-and-file military and the police, laying off half the officers and leaving our troops stranded overseas. Then there'll be an off with their heads moment.

[CATSASS1117]

GOP assholes ... just wait for the "long hot summer"... streets will be on fire... better trade in your convertible cars before the hippies shit in them.

[TheCreeperhunter]

OWS FTW

[Vsago]

Vampire Squid? Or Octopi-Wall Street?

[SpikeyJamez]

Occupy Wall Street>Presidential Candidates 2012

[Monrovia92]

When Cenk pressed the "I jump in it" button, the CC translated it as "Made young teenage butter".

[rafelingd]

@Monrovia92 butLer actually

[dooooodeses]

@Monrovia92 I love the CC haha

[jamstrat]

@Monrovia92 butler

[kellygurl5]

how can people have millions, even billions of dollars and still think they need more and more. after paying rent and bills, I'm lucky to even have $5 on me. what the hell could I be spending billions on? if I ever won a million dollars, my first thought would be ' how much will I give to my family and friends' ? if I had billions of dollars, I'd make sure everyone in the world had enough to live on!

[TheCreeperhunter]

@kellygurl5 Yes but you actually realize what it's like to be broke. Most of those rich assholes couldn't comprehend it if their lives depended on it.

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

@TheCreeperhunter i'm not rich, but I have been broke a couple times in my short life - didnt like it, dont do it, not enjoyable. however, being rich doesnt make you an arsehole, and similarly, possessing the necessary life experience to contemplate being broke - or just being poor all the time - does not qualify you as a saint

[TheCreeperhunter]

@CHEESYhairyGASH You do realize I said MOST of those rich people, not all of them, right? Keep in mind I was replying to a comment about the people who want more and more. And I never said anything about what I think of poor people in general. If you're going to reply to me, please reply to what I'm actually saying and not your own assumptions about my way of thinking.

[dEdGrimley]

The Occupy Movement has GOT to get some sort of organization. Don't get me wrong - love them and everything they're doing, but the people they're trying to reach just aren't getting the message like this.

[BoDiggety]

"Occupy Rose Parade...I jump in it" LMAO

[Mojave706]

I live in LA and the only thing on our news is weather, death, traffic, death, celebrity gossip, death, weather.... -.-

[CropDuster33]

Its because the media is owned by the same corrupt corporations these protesters are protesting.

[Burghlax]

OF Coooouuuurrrrsssseeeee

[TreBeatzPromo]

Did anyone else notice the miskake in the subtitle at 0:26 I love their "african" lol

[Quickblood1]

@TreBeatzPromo the subs are wrong 90% of the time on Youtube. I think it's cause they use voice recognition & it's often hilarious.

[supraguy2jzgte]

if ana started speaking french i swear i would lose it!!!!

[GenghisCohen1]

Take Cenk's buttons away.

[bulbinking]

So nobody is going to court over the fact they were unconstitutionally evicted from public property? This should go to the supreme court! It wasn't until soldiers opened fire on unarmed protesters in the 60's that people FINALLY got off there asses and fought the system. Is that what its going to take? Does somebody have to shoot at you before you realize whats at stake?

[br6nf75]

@bulbinking usually, yes. but dont think for a second that thats a problem found only in america. all around the world people are too lazy to do anything at all. until your life is treathened, you dont even roll over to the ground to take a shit. you just shit yourself. and then complain about the smell.

true story

[bulbinking]

@br6nf75

People in both france and greece know how and when to protest...

[MSilverKatana]

@SmallFries01 no1 cares, ppl do it all the time with spanish and other languages and no1 is complaining

[jinkiju]

Cenk really needs to stop with the sound board. It kinda makes him seem less a someone i want to take somewhat serious.

[Preetima1125]

"octopus" in Japanese is Taco, which strangely is an insult.

[BorgKing001]

Occupiers are last years news

[ERICAsamERICA]

thank you for giving me real news. THANK YOU

[adolfarrakahane]

cenk is full of shit as usual. i mean what the hell are the tv broadcasters supposed to do??? turn the event into a political circus by having to provide each political cause with equal tv time??? yeaH RIGHT!! TYPICAL LIBTARD ABSURDITY.

[DarthCadeous501]

@adolfarrakahane

If you're going to insult folks, you might want to learn how to spell correctly. Now that is absurdity right there.

[adolfarrakahane]

@DarthCadeous501 stfu ya stupid commie libtard grammar cop

[DarthCadeous501]

@adolfarrakahane

*yawn* Ad hominem eh?

[adolfarrakahane]

@DarthCadeous501 just cappin on da grammar cop nigga an dats da troof

[GreatBigBore]

Cenk, I'd like to suggest a better word for you. You say that the Occupiers did nothing "wrong." It's better to say that they were doing nothing ILLEGAL or DISRUPTIVE. The Occupiers in general (not counting the very few bad eggs) have not been doing anything WRONG from the beginning. They've been trying very hard to do what is RIGHT, standing up to corrupt power.

[kmelfina]

@GreatBigBore I sympathize occupies efforts fighting against corporatism, but the bailouts to the banks are 1/2 the equation. It's like fighting against hydra heads where the government is body, and occupy is just asking for more government to control the hydra heads (those banks that got bailed out).

[lifestandstillhere]

@EdgarD8387 Yes, because if YOU don't care, no one does. Here, have a tall glass of Logicola and sit in the corner.

[DanimalCollective]

CBS covered it in an online article calling it a "scruffier parade" highlighting that four people were arrested for felonies that night (people unassociated with the movement, but the article made it sound like they were). It also highlighted that three truckloads of LA County sheriffs were following them in full riot gear, but the article is written as if that is a normal thing and deserved by the protesters because they were "noisy." At least it gave one quote about campaign finance reform.

[GMATveteran]

Wow... the very fact that people have to "find creative ways to protest" - so as not to be arrested or otherwise restrained by the police - is quite informative about the true state of American democracy...

[greenjelly01]

To compare 5 million NPR budget vs 800 billion in bank bailouts:

if each spent a million dollars a day, NPR would last 5 days, while the banks would go on for over 2000 years.

[zaurtrien]

"garbage" with french accent? love it!

[DONLEOGON]

Thanks for checking in on me youtube.

[NTtheLion]

God damn I'm immature...

[NTtheLion]

PAYNESS!

That is all....

[JackSamuelMusic]

translation thingys shit lol

[TheUSMetalhead]

Big media is bought and sold, it would be like a politician publicly supporting the Occupy movement, it just doesn't happen.

[gulbirk]

@TheUSMetalhead Yeah, apart from the fact that there are many politicians that support them.

[IslamicGamer]

I love when people protest! Freedom Is the sh*t!!!!!

[OneManDreaming]

@IslamicGamer Until everybody starts to get locked up.

[TheLyricalmotion]

ur shiny long hair is distracting me from the real issue

[SmallFries01]

garBAge. that's not a french word! Dont say that like that Anna please. It sounds absurd when someone tries to sound intelligent by butchering the french language. It's "vidange" or "déchet"

[Lpoolboy]

@SmallFries01 She wasn't trying to sound intelligent, she was being funny. She was doing a typical 'fake' hollywood drone that Madonna does or whatever.

[bossmarion]

@SmallFries01 Sorry, she meant to say LE Garbage!

[bongobanjo]

@SmallFries01 Who cares if it's actual French. It's a fun butchering of a word and I love it. It's just a joke, not a paper on French.

[mert828]

I'd love to see you even try to play the banjo, bitch.

[UDSS]

That is why capitalist politicians win elections. They have the massive support of the media. All pro-capitalist parties, either social democrats ( social liberals ), liberal democrats and conservatives, all are supported by the media. But revolutionary socialists and communists not. They don't have a pro-capitalist agenda, that is why the media pays little attention to them. Left-wing people in the USA have no change of winning elections, because they have not the money or the media for it.

[LiBlub1]

@UDSS Word! That's why Occupy needs to organize, revolutionize.

[surfjerr]

welcome to the new and improved Amerinazi land

[cgartsenal]

TYT in currentv... little clips get cut up unlike before.

[bobbytiger]

Ana. "Actually newsworthy"?

I don't think so sweetie.

[fingrid]

The news story would be too positive. Those stories are hard to use for irrelevant political agendas.

The police being as financially ill-equipped as they are now, I'm afraid that once the pay days start to get postponed, the policemen will take their last step towards becoming rogue militia. Then it's the Soviet States of America for everyone.

[zebraluna]

The octupuss can also refer to a novel by a great American activist, Sinclair Lewis. It's a book title.

[CountJimbo]

Garbage?

[Paulsasleepwalker]

You have a better chance of getting hit by lightening than have your tax dollars go to NPR. No joke either.

[xxcrossed]

spring time is not far away ! the 99% are coming get ready !

[cpufightclub]

@xxcrossed yeah right. oh boy america revolution... woopteee doooo

[ghotidude]

@xxcrossed I am so ready for you fucks!

[MAXSTA666]

OCCTUPY THE FLOAT!

[MAXSTA666]

we are the 99% We will OCCtopus the parade!

[muetter]

I was going to make a comment about Ron Paul as a joke, but there's already a flame war over him on this thread...

[thenewvoice8]

NPR got $5M - in Iowa the GOP mutant candidates spent $12M on advertising alone - mmmhhh

[Snakekilla12]

media refused to cover it... big deal... how about internet civil media? where my videos on it?

[ecwaufisxtreme]

These OWS protesters are TRULY an EPIC FAIL and what they tried to do at the Rose Parade is a clear sign that OWS is going DOWN while the Tea Party already CONTROLS the parade!

[Remus0387]

@ecwaufisxtreme Can't really see it that.

[GnosticAtheist]

@ecwaufisxtreme

Don't worry. Go back to sleep. Your corporate government have everything under control. The American dream, apple pie, guns and heterosexual activity. Focus.

[bla34112]

@ecwaufisxtreme

And INTELLIGENT people WRITE like THIS!!! 

[Riverfishify]

So the general media is as liberal as it gets and you're still saying it's the republicans fault? Not really quite understanding.

[CraigMetalHead]

@Riverfishify Ah, claiming the "Liberal Media" Myth is reality... thats funny.

Let me ask you, who do you think owns those media outlets? Do you think its Liberals? Really? How many Liberals do you know that own massive corporations?

[restlesspride666]

has anyone noticed the youtube blackout on OWS?

[robinvan1983]

Occupy is just really not effective... The teaparty is even better organised than they are. They have more influence on the political system than Occupy..

[rpdlwsk]

Umm... Let's consider that our government is not against us. Let's be thankful for what we have. It's not perfect, but I think its still worth our respect considering the alternatives! When was the last time an anarchist helped you? I can't think of an example...

[jschultzVII]

@rpdlwsk Yes.... we should be thankful for a government that works for the rich and corporations at the expense of the rest of us. They get bailed out, we get bailed on. Fuck them, and fuck the people who pay them to fuck us.

[NessaDreemz88]

There were thousands and not just a couple hundred of protesters, since many joined in along the route from the stands. ~~ Nessa

[unabomberman]

Garbáge!

[rbrtchng]

occupy rose parade? that's pretty creative lol

[helios5868]

The Rose Parade pissed me off, especially the Microsoft Kinetic float. It's a disgusting display of corporate power that pissed me and my little sister off SO MUCH!

[BrokenSp00n]

The ows protesters are idiots -.-

[1980albatros]

@BrokenSp00n You're the real idiot.

[tcdowning666]

this is the first time ever I have to thumbs down a TYT piece :(

[1980albatros]

@tcdowning666 Another idiot.

[tcdowning666]

the pics in the above link from rawstory weren't even taken at Singer Park or anywhere near the Rose Parade! Even NPR put our numbers at 4000

[tcdowning666]

actually there was thousands of us! we stretched for over six blocks!

[EBurwell]

I so wanted to hear the end of Cenk's point on the $800,000,000,000 in tax cuts.

If anyone saw the full broadcast of that segment can you tell me if he said that the tax cuts would have funded NPR for 160,000 years? I had posted those numbers in an earlier YouTube clip and am wondering if I got an atrib.

[sagemakaiserxl]

We are heading into a point where you can't afford to let others do the fighting for you. Stand up and change this country, or stay silent, and face the gruesome outcome of neglecting your own survival.

[cjfilmproductions]

Occupy wants the lobby money out of washington.media companies reap this money in advertising dollars they have no interest in Occupy anything that is why they paint them as rif raf . the media of our country is no better than the politicians they serve.

[russelljds]

I am outraged! Occupiers had a great shot at carrying the messege of a 28th amendment and call for a constitutional convention - and they FAILED! What the hell good is this movement without a solution - ya fucktards.

[crackerkiller89]

@russelljds So you blame them for not succeeding but you didn't help a single bit? And besides, look at the time of year the protests started. Just watch, come summer, when most college kids are on summer break and the weather is much more bearable how much OWS will pick up. I will join it myself when it does start up again.

[unclexbob]

They should have been pepper sprayed, and thereby, they would have gotten media coverage. Ultimately, this is the police's fault.

[TheeeForttt]

You guys are cutting your vids too soon.. Im realllyyy not a fan of this.

[xadam2dudex]

I don't watch MSM ..they are corporate propaganda

[Tharumus]

Has anybody else noticed that they have never mentioned Syria? Are they trying to stay neutral?

[13loodLust]

Love how it cuts off when Cenk starts getting worked up LOL

[BarbaraJD]

@MANWORKER1 The same way some news outlets get some of their video - amature video. Since every smartphone and ipod has video, OWS actions have been being filmed by hundreds of people and several live streamers. One quick call out on twitter for a clip and they would have got all the footage they needed.

[SuperGreenSmartie]

Good for them! I love the occupy movement, and I think it's awesome they took the time to do this, even if mainstream media doesn't like covering them. If the occupy movement was a single person, that person would be my hero :D

[sancombru]

They made a float of Cthulhu?

[pinochska]

ana looking hot

[pinochska]

@MattLoaf92 HAHA and i thought trolls were smarter too.. !

[MattLoaf92]

@pinochska I'm assuming that you are trying to imply that I am a troll in which case I think you misunderstand what a troll is. Either that or you had no intelligent reply but felt the need to try and win an argument that does not exist.

[pinochska]

@MattLoaf92 hahah sure my friend.. you are just a pseudo-intellectual trying to look smart picking comments to fight about... dont forget you were the first to insult saying you thought tyt fans were smarter.. dude your comments was marked as spam.. you got so pwned.. lol

[MattLoaf92]

@pinochska I just made an observation that your comment was below par to what I would expect from a follower of a political show, if this offended you then that is your issue not mine, insults are taken not given.

[pinochska]

@MattLoaf92 oh is that so? i guess i can say the N word now and when im about to get my ass kicked or put in jail i will just say.. what, why? some idiot on youtube told me insults are taken not given so ALL of you are wrong on taking this as an insult i was just calling you guys black but in spanish... LMAO you are just like gingrich mate

[MattLoaf92]

@pinochska I did not say it was a legal defence nor did I say that it is "wrong" to take something as an insult.

Also notice how you're attacking me by calling me an "idiot" and saying that I am "just like gingrich"? It sure seems that you have nothing with any substance to say. Ignorance is bliss is it?

[pinochska]

@MattLoaf92 want to talk ignorance? haha please google "to imply".. substance? about what? i dont even know you or care about you.. you are the one who aproached me with your first comment which implied something.. your homework assignment is to guess what started this whole conversaition.. me and my ignorance? or your implied insult.. now zip it troll, im done with you. to much of my time you have taken.

[pinochska]

@MattLoaf92 hahah also... LEGAL DEFENSE? seriously? haha dudee also google "Aspergers syndrome" im implying... see what i did there? cheers

[dakotaisgreat]

@pinochska As she always is.

[Kamikaze34]

You know, there are too many sexy Ana comments.

Cenk, I want you to release your kraken all up in my pegasus.

[theallseeingoracle]

I love your necklace Anna.

[BillbertoPerfecto]

ana got a nose job.

[QuantumV3]

First, we will Occupy Rose Parade. Then we will Occupy THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHAH! >:D

[sophiemarissa]

Anna looks so sophisticated in this video. Tres chic.

[BarbaraJD]

Ok, so I was waiting and waiting for TYT to show at least a clip of what they are complaining that no one else was covering....... Nothing. Nadda. Nyet.

[MANWORKER1]

@BarbaraJD How would they have any good footage to show if it was not covered by any major media outlet? NPR is radio so there is no video from them to show. I was expecting to see something as well but they also explained how it was not covered at all outside of NPR.

[TheSuperLib]

Every year, NPR does a Fundraising Drive to get enough funds to stay around

[khetti2006]

Lol at ignorant anti-OWS trolls.

[Yamikaiba123]

The first thing I thought was, 'Aw, man; a parade? Floats? When are you guys gonna stop messing around and pull out the pitch-forks?'

I'm so naughty.

[Yamikaiba123]

Occupy Wallstreet brought to you by... TOSTITOS! Oh-so crunchy freedom you can taste.

[dfg93353]

If OWS wants to win the war they MUST start activist hedge funds!! And protest efficiently! Visit KARMABANQUE(dot)COM

[TheMCBADGER]

Oh no! the media refused to cover the dirty losers who were crashing the parade that many people worked hard on while these people sat on their asses

[khetti2006]

@TheMCBADGER u mad bro?

@khetti2006 no, it just irrit
