Keith's Special Comment: Why OWS needs Michael Bloomberg

[starrra1]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST COMMENTS ON MICHEAL BLOOMBERG

EVER ! !

THANKS A LOT Keith

[antiprocon]

Really like the Special Comment - but what's up with the reference to John Brown? Was he referring to John Brown the abolitionist as a "moron of history"? Seems to be way off the mark.

[SpiritHippie]

I love Olbermann!!

[celainea]

Great sarcasm!

[okorojnr]

Excellent as always! Corporate greed will destroy America if unchecked.

[koekaiking]

@okorojnr I think it already has : (

[EddieLandsberg]

Wait, Keith Olbermann has a net worth of 35 million dollars. 80% of people in the world make less than $10,000 a year, over half live in poverty. Wouldn't 1 million dollars put him close to the 1%??? That said, although I agree with a lot of the the points made by #OWS, there are a lot of apple and oranges comparisons here. For example, did the people have a permit to film on the Brooklyn Bridge? Did the protesters apply for a permit? What if a RW group occupied a park & set up a library?

[beteck123]

@ronpaul2012boss People who dont understand that people vote for only laws that favour them and they have to look for people who are in the same situation as them and that a billionaire has nothing in common with them. Having said that,in America, people vote for the dream to become billionaires thus vote for those the hope to become. Needless to say its a wrong move and never works.

[PbartonP]

So true about Movie-making constantly shutting down parts of the city and yet peaceful protests are met with police brutality and over-reaction.

[F3udF1st]

Americööööeehh, fuck yeah!!

[catquack]

"suppression always creates the opposite effect desired" -- powerful words!

[ReiGrim]

Is Bloomberg a Nazi?

[mattofthedead999]

They're making another Batman movie? Sweet!

[RebelAlaska]

You are my HERO!

[IdTheDemon]

Big props to Keith for saying "GODDAMN BATMAN".

[Ravel87]

amazing atheist....

[heavytransit]

this guy is amazing, subscribed

[johnphones]

real talk

[ArcesitorGmail]

GOD DANM!! =D Love it Keith!

[Akrim10]

Fuck you Keith, I cant wait to see the next Batman movie. OWS can get fucked for all I care.

[WhereisZEMBLA]

@Akrim10 you give batman fans a bad name. And Batman stands against everything that is wrong and corrupt and dedicates his life to helping out those who are in need.

[beteck123]

@WhereisZEMBLA Dude,right there is the problem - Batman aint real. They are happy to have you believe in fictions like that and sit back and keep waiting for batman return.

[WhereisZEMBLA]

@beteck123 Batman is Real and hes called the 99% and it has just begun friend

[FoxvoxDK]

Someone just got anally violated with a stellar object :o

[dizzymasekela]

Daaaaaamn. Keith just brutally pwnd Bloomberg.

[MisanthropicMarxist]

This is why I love Keith Olbermann

[EnthalpyH]

Now the right wing loves to hide behind their true fascist tenets as fighters for "small government".

[deanc1030]

I hope that Keith Olbermann is right and Bloomberg serves his purpose to bolster the revoloution

that is now being televised despite Bloomberg's efforts to arrest representatives with press passes received by the NYPD.

[deanc1030]

I love NYC, but that megalomaniac Bloomberg is no NYC mayor. Kotch, Dinkins & Julliani loved and love "the City." They were real NYC mayors.

Bloomberg doesn't give a fuck about anyone, but himself and his wealthy friends. He is a true representative for greed and the toxic substance that is the caustic phenomenon dissolving the fabric on which "America the free" was founded on.

[XtraLarge2]

Why did you people elect Bloomberg for mayor? Why?

[XavierMacX]

@XtraLarge2 He changed the law in NYC so he could have a third term. That's why Keith talks about him having a fourth. After that, during the second term he was pretty low key and then bought out all the media (what he doesn't own already) and made it so people would vote for him for a third term. That's why.

It sucks that it's so easy for those with money to manipulate.

[XavierMacX]

@XavierMacX He used the financial crisis as an excuse that he needed to stay in office. Which, if you think back on it, sounds extremely idiotic. I live in Michigan, not NYC, but I visit there often and have friends that live there. I can tell you that he will not be getting a fourth term.

[bahdahdoop]

Haha Olbermann's still a legend in his own mind, demanding resignations on a bi-weekly basis.

[snowwhite923]

so amazing

[RegioLunar]

I think this crap´ll never end.

The banksters got away with crashing the economy.

War criminals´re still haboured and protected by the US.

The judicial system is simply FUBAR for letting the criminals get away with everything (as long as you´re rich enough)....

[TheRickmurray]

I love Keith, I really, really do!

[Thoran666]

Bloomberg forever!

I love stupid people. They inspire us to protect the world from them.

[jimuu1]

Kieth You Are My Hero.

[KarthikSoun]

People dont believe me but both communism and secular democracy where born out of the rebellion against conservative Christianity. Without Christianity there would be no modern world, it has nothing to do with race, most of the European population lived in huts and very humble villages and faced many famines till the cultural meta morphisms of the Christian Renaissance age brought us the modern industrial age. Contradictions are complimentary.

[KarthikSoun]

@RegioLunar Actually i am Atheist but the Renaissance age gave rise to all these Scientists and artists like Lenardo da Vinche the fact that some of them where persecuted does not let down the fact that it created an Atmosphere for them to thrive. Europe was behind the rest of the world for a long time, apart from Roma and Greece many countries like France, Britian, Germany etc., where way behind in haveing large cities etc., The change in culture is what drove them to think Competitively.

[TheRickmurray]

@KarthikSoun Ever heard of the Crusades or the Witch Masacares? Christianity had done nothing for this world good that I can see. It is a parisite that just will not go away that continues to suck the blood from god fearing agnostic people like me.. The hell with Christians.

[KarthikSoun]

@TheRickmurray You did not understand what i said, i did say Christainity is bad but contradictions are complimantry just like there would have been no Gandhi if not for British imperialism or no Churchill if not for Hitler. They create their opposites, those witch burnings and crusades, oppression of ideas etc., is what gave rise to rebellions and created other parallel systems. Just as keith says about bloomberg, thats the point i am makeing..

[TheRickmurray]

@KarthikSoun Sorry.

[WlNDMlLL]

The Dark Knight was only good because of Heath Ledger. He's dead and we're left with that spastic excuse of a Batman. Oh, right-- down with the 1%!

[liquifex]

I wish I was in my 20s and not tied to a half-shit pseudo-life...I'd love to be out there right now. I have mad respect for every protester out there, fighting for themselves and the rest of us that are trapped atm. I don't think most of America, or the world for that matter, realizes how serious this actually is because they're so distanced from it - watching it on TV. This is how true change happens. Unfortunately, it's going to get ugly before that change happens. Stay strong...

[amazinggoatgirl]

@liquifex You can come some days. It's good to be there as much as you can, and for some people that's 7 days a week and for some people that's 1 day a month. I'm a grad student and I've made it out 5 times since it started, and I'm glad I went even if I had to pull some all-nighters to make it happen.

[35TCK]

Well, god damn

[zappp111]

The Christian right wing have condoned every tactic the communists used since Regan. Neighbor spy on neighbor, censorship,goologs, torture,the corporate state has free speech, the individual gets pepper sprayedd, and locked up.

[watchfuleye357]

@zappp111 this is because they follow that which isn't it self actually christ like. Never was and never will be. They are applying prejudice in a so-called non prejudice dogma. Truth be they have no clue who christ was, because they don't know christo's means enlighted. Obviously they are not, and those people who follow this show their degree in their talk and actions.

[sobreiro]

@zappp111 What the hell is a "goolog"?

[Sober182H]

@zappp111 I hope you realize that the "right" implies more freedoms. Libertarians we call them. While the left is more geared toward authoritarian governments. Also, it's kind of ironic: Christian right wing. Considering Jesus was pretty left wing in our context.

[Rogermiler]

This is some of the most brilliant and timely commentary I've heard ever. About anything.

[Amocoru]

GTFO with the batman movie shit talk. You can stay home from work for the greatest movies shot in the last decade sir. Hollywood needs these non shitty movies, BADLY.

[FormerlyKnownAsNopez]

@Amocoru

What? Batman is one of the greatest movies? lol

Are you a ten-year-old boy?

[Equalizer4dagoot]

This is why Keith is no longer on "prime time" billionaire's news stations. Speak the truth and off you go. Not "go" in a bad way...KO has moved on to continue to spread the truth and bring forth the fools for us to enjoy. LUV it!

[pugster73]

I love this video. 303 views with 334 likes.

[jetsonic69]

But Bloomberg isnt a REPUBLICAN , Keith !! YOU SELF RIGHTOUS STUPID FUCK!! Only an idiot like him would take the side of a crazy left wing zealots who cant see that the whole economic mess was PRESIDENT Obamas fault IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF HIS PRESIDENCY!! How funny Mr. Olbermoron seems to not bring that up. NOW THATS A REAL HYPOCRITE .

[HoratioSkulls]

@jetsonic69 lol i really hope ur kidding. the collapse happened during the bush administration. the obama administration promised change but didn't deliver. these protesters are out there for YOU. They are out there for the future of YOUR country. they are out there because the fat cats behind the curtain are trying to take total control with this economic collapse and are damn close to doing so. and unless you are part of the one percent, you are stupid for disliking them. dumbass

[RegioLunar]

@jetsonic69 "the whole economic mess was PRESIDENT Obamas fault "

What a programmed dimwittery and you dare to deliver it?

This must be a fake as no one can actually muster such an incredible load of dumbness.

[299LCS]

@RegioLunar The whole economic mess was W's fault - anyone who believes otherwise is an ignoramus. So much for no child left behind and all that crap. But it traces even farther back to that senile Ronald Reagan!

[amazinggoatgirl]

@jetsonic69 You do such a service demonstrating the idiocy of the conservative movement. Bravo. I hope for your sake that you're a satirist.

[B1ackHayabusa]

Holy shit. Bloomberg just got fucking pwnd

[mrfreedomdemocracy1]

Sanitize Bloomberg office, Fox News and the Stock Exchange .... it's full of rats and roaches

[PaulPradaShow]

Wow, I didn't even realize Keith Olbermann had a show anymore. Wasn't he suspended or fired? Oh well, only like 4 or 5 people watch his show anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

[PlanetTango]

@PaulPradaShow I know I maybe wasting my time assuming you're not a little asshole pretending to be sarcastic, but just in case you're simply a typical American moron, Keith moved to a new cable channel. A smaller one, owned by Al Gore of all people, but perhaps important enough that even important people like you take notice of his presence.

If out of the 4 or 5 people who watch his show there is a moron who can be taught how to get his head off his rear cavity, then there is hope.

[PaulPradaShow]

@PlanetTango - lol, on a network owned by Al Gore? LOL, that's perfect, right where he belongs, along with all the other programming no one watches.

[Rationalific]

Funny... I didn't hear anything about this on the Bloomberg channel.

Anyway, it's sad that people are trying to take away our fundamental freedoms (although that makes our resolve stronger), but hey, on the bright side, I learned that a new Batman movie should be coming out soon.

[anefertitirae]

Love. This. Guy. PERIOD.

[PabloFerroDesign]

THIS IS GOLD

[RedSkiesAwaitUs]

I say if every protester donated 20$, we could have bloomburg and Brian Moynihan whacked plus a couple hundred members of the NYPD...

pm me for the paypal link... j/k

[locutus94]

Keith Olberman = Our own modern day Edward R Murrow. Tell them like it is Olby.

[LobsterPotsticker]

lol the GOD D@MMED BATMAN

[LasagnaIsGood]

comparing OWS to the civil rights movement!?!?! Have you seen the OWS demonstrators!? They are ignorant fucks that don't know anything about basic economics, fucking amazing.

[gerri577]

@LasagnaIsGood this movement you dummy is a GLOBAL uprising. Where the hell have U been? Go to: livestream . com / global revolution (Omit all spaces) to get the REAL jist of it. You can also chat live there w/people all over the world. Come on, you know you want to check it out. The occupyer's (the ones who camp) might be what u would call "hippies", but the marchers and those behind the scenes are regular everyday people. Get informed before you jump to conclusions!

[Metal4Truth]

i dont watch ketih olbermann, but i think i might start. is he always like this?

[XavierMacX]

@Metal4Truth Every once in a while. You can watch a lot of his special comments on the Current Countdown website. Even when he's not ranting though, he's great. Also, check out his Worst Persons series.

[GomersRevenge]

For all of Olbermans accuracy on the surface one wonders why when digging deeper that he supports funding the very structures against which he rails. Go figure.

[LobsterPotsticker]

Too much noise?

SEND IN THE SOUND CANONS

nice..

[CanNotType]

-slow clap- (:

[PinkPantherFan102]

Uh, Keith, did you forget that George Wallace was a DEMOCRAT and that it was the DEMOCRAT Party who was against the Civil Rights Act, not the Republicans? God, this guy's getting dumber and more hateful every time I see him!

[ScissorHand26]

@PinkPantherFan102

Who the fuck cares about democrat or republican? It's really fucking obvious both sides are bought out anyways.

[Seraphim727]

@PinkPantherFan102 Then Southern Democrats wanted to maintain the status quo and maintain society segregated making them conservative. Northern Republicans were fighting for a change in society and the status quo allowing minorities to be integrated into society making them a progressive liberal party at the time. OWS is fighting for a change in the status quo by stopping money from being placed before people, so they are a progressive liberal movement. Just adding context to Dem vs Rep.

[LordHannigan]

@PinkPantherFan102 JFK a Democrat mobilized the Alabama National guard when Governor Wallace was standing at the University of Alabama door prohiting two black students from entering. JFK would later go on to address the nation that the civil right movement was legal and constitutional. An LBJ used his political connections to make sure the Civil Richts Act was passed in a way to honor president JFK. Kieth's not stupid he's pissed off rightfully and he doesn't share the opinion of the 1%.

[LobsterPotsticker]

@PinkPantherFan102 Everyone knows that fool. They basically switched rolls half a century ago\

keep up

[PinkPantherFan102]

@LobsterPotsticker NICE TRY! YOU'RE A LOSER! BLOCKED!

[LobsterPotsticker]

@PinkPantherFan102 you can't block me, this isn't your channel

unless you mean blocking me from your channel.. which is fine since you've got nothing

[michaelaurand]

@PinkPantherFan102 It's not about Democrat vs Republican. It's more about conservative vs. liberal. And liberals fiercely advocated the civil rights movement while conservatives vigorously fought against it. 

[PinkPantherFan102]

@michaelaurand SORRY! THAT'S BULLSHIT!

[michaelaurand]

@PinkPantherFan102 Nope. It's the truth.

Liberals freed the slaves, fought for antitrust regulations, stood up for women's suffrage, and advocated ending segregation, and conservatives did nothing but stand in their way.

[aar0n262]

The more the government goes against OWS the stronger OWS gets.

[lulz1978]

feels bataman

[azmirreader]

I'm not even an American, but practices like these (freedom of speech whether it's this fantastic comment or the protests at W.S.) and people like Keith are why America still got some greatness.

[TekaDon]

Really Keith? Why you gotta rag on The Batman?

[N89J00X]

Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith! Woohoo!

[whytepirate]

Come on Keith don't sugar coat it, just say it like you feel it....Keith Olbermann for President 2012....REAL America is going to raise her head soon....The 99% is going to restart this country's engine again...Bigger Better and more Liberal than before....Time for all good Patriots to stand up and face Wall Street....Cuz it's coming with a roar!!!!OWS99%RULES!!! :)(:

[SinnermanJ]

Sometimes....I love you Keith

[JohnWoo]

Epic ending!

[Sirenhound]

It's like an extended worst persons in the world, but without the runner's up.

[FormerlyKnownAsNopez]

Yep. It looks like Bloomberg became a lifetime dictator of the Gotham City.

[FormerlyKnownAsNopez]

Bloomberg might be a Batman movie character... Craven and conniving little troll.

[vitradesk]

GOD DAMN BATMAN MOVIE

[auritone]

Love it when Keith gets offended!

[barkwindbat]

XD

[MzProgressive]

Liked everything but the three G Ds. What was the purpose? Has Bloomberg perchance used such epithets in his own references to the OWS?

Hell no! We don't want him for ANOTHER UNLAWFUL TERM - We want him Impeached - and NOW!

[moonmilk15]

I felt it.

[3108711289]

shhhhh dont say too much keith!

[rayjrsheen]

leave the batman movie ALONE!!!

[shkotay]

I hate to say this but the corporations are going to win. Ppl just arent going to really care until its too late an the whole thing comes down. Only then will ppl ask what they can do to save it.

Keith you and other small agencies are doing fantastic, but ppl on the large scale just dont care and the MSM merely wont say anything. They are being ordered not to feed this most necessary fire. You wouldnt believe the contempt most general ppl have for the OWS movement cause of the MSM.

[TheYounghector]

That... was beautifull... (sniffle)

[azuredivina]

go, Keith!

[lolcup]

I wish he was my father

[Sorrento1969]

Just a few fatalities and it would be right to say it's the United States of Syria... a lot coming from such small mayor

[NightMoves00]

finally some honesty, thanks.

[ava0000]

GOD DAMN BATMAN MOVIE

[DonSSanders]

Damn! That was awesome! The plutocrats have overreached...they will soon be history. THEY ARE FORCING THIS COUNTRY TO REPUDIATE THEM WHOLESALE.

[defect530]

mayor quan is up there with bloomberg

[MadPuppets1]

this is why i love Keith Olbermann

[moverling5]

I wonder what Mayor Bloomberg's reaction is, to Keith Olbermann's Special Comment on Countdown with Keith Olbermann?

[hoosierhiver]

Boomberg will go down in history and it won't be flattering.

[RaminHAL9001]

I don't know Olberman, you seem to presume that Democracy even actually exists in the US anymore. I would love it if you were right, but I don't want to set my hopes too high.

[AmishRakeFight85]

I agree. Bloomberg and those like him have become faces for the injustice that OWS protests against. Every good story requires a villain. He fills that role, making it easier for average Americans to sympathize with and understand the motives of OWS, which further strengthens the movement.

[DownLowProductions]

i dont want to say, hang em.. but i'm getting close...

I haven't been to a good lynching since.. ever..

[defect530]

@DownLowProductions bring the family :D

[nvieira100]

@DownLowProductions I'll say it for you ... HANG 'EM ... HIGH!!

[eBe4IXcept]

Well, yeah.

[pfreddyp]

One word for Bloomberg: guillotine!

[RichoRosai]

@pfreddyp And if you add a second word: spikeyblackdildo
