Keith Olbermann Special Comment On Michael Bloomberg

[Indepeoplemusic]

Wowww. Olbermann should teach politics, journalism, critical writing, broadcasting and communications among other subjects at Columbia on the side. Smart, smart dude.

[Indepeoplemusic]

I like fixed news channel.

[dthomas9444]

I don't care if you're a liberal or conservative, please tell me that you understand what a colossal idiot this man is

[vashthestampede11]

Too bad for all you viewers of CurrentTV (yes all 30,000 of you, it looks like he won't be working here much longer either

[Maxpound]

I LOVE the all star batman and robin reference he makes during this speech.

[tomitstube]

keith is as good as ever.

[mikedd56]

Pretty sure that GODDAMN Batman movie only blocked things for a weekend & I bet a lot of people who worked on that movie werent in the 1%. The only people this protest is truly hurting are the surrounding small businesses that no one can get to. B/c the hippies certainly dont spend any money in these places they only want to use them as their personal toilet & when they dont comply the protesters get all aggressive. What about the rights of these business owners

[tomitstube]

@mikedd56 ~ lol, small businesses in manhattan? i'm pretty sure the hot dog guy and cigarette vendors are doing fine. poor wall street and the bankers, we wouldn't want to rain on their ponzi scheme now would we?

what a pathetic tool you are for the robber barons. congratulation mindless dupe.

[gryphonshire]

Keith Olbermann is a Statesman, unafraid to state the Truth. He speaks for those of us who share his opinion, but have no platform from which to speak. May Keith always find a microphone to speak to those ears and minds open enough to receive the Truth. 

[GiacomoKnox]

"A protest that (sic) grew a little stale around the edges?" Did you get hit by a football on the sidelines, Slobberman? Local businesses lost around $500,000 because customers couldn't get past the screaming, smelly OWSers. Some of these losers and cowards confronted people walking their children to school! And that G-ddammed Batman movie brought more $ to NYC than wasted cleaning up after OWS. OWS and everything out of Keith's mouth are movements, all from the bowels.

[larryw90]

What gets me is that they're are people out here who are not the 1% totally against the occupy movement. The 99% is taking pepper spray, billy clubs and tear gas to the face and all some ignorant people can say is they are dumb and stupid. Well look it the mirror dummy cause you're looking at the image of stupidity. Get your mouth off Fox News nuts!

[brwneyesaz]

Good job Keith I will keep watching for your great insight.

[trannyniggr]

nice rant. keep goin!

[EvilWhiteMale]

I think Olbermann is back on the sauce. Bottoms up fuckface!

[EvilWhiteMale]

Sure, we're all talking about OWS. And most of us are talking about how stupid it is. Well done hippies!

[briancooney12]

More people have viewd this video than all programming ever aired on "Current."

[itsallthesametothem]

Does this man really go on for eight minutes regarding this bullshit? Keith, you are foaming. You and your thesaurus need a long vacation since nobody is listening. Up the meds pal, you're irrelevant.

[mbuckminster]

@itsallthesametothem Or maybe you just can't understand what he's saying because as your name implies, "it's all the same to you." You're simply a mindless wanderer in a country where you are being fucked right up the ass. Or maybe you're the 1%.

[itsallthesametothem]

@mbuckminster So you have the exclusive on what people should know and the pusle of the country is that it? Believe me my friend, if I am a member ofthe one percent it is because of hard work, paid student loans for years, company started with one person and a ton of my own effort. I can understand what he says, but if you go back two years it's the same mantra. Anyone who aligns themself with a failed commentator or a politicalparty is delusional. Be independent and don't defend this sort.

[itsallthesametothem]

@mbuckminster Let me also ask why this hatful man who pretends to be for the downtrodden is really another gasbag with a large contract and pretends he understands the pain of the common man. Do you think Keith can sympathize simply because he can look through his binoculars and see an area of blue collar workers? I live in the home my family built and in a place as diverse as anywhere you might find. Keith is a pompous gasbag and reads others' writing - without belief I might add.

[genocide98]

@itsallthesametothem

This sort? He might be a pompus gasbag, what he reads may not even be his own work, I can't comment on that. So what? there is truth in these words, and he is televising it for all to see. People should hear about these things.

[itsallthesametothem]

@genocide98 Well, I would agree that people should hear a diversity of opinion. By the way, I am no Fox news junkie. However, how do you know their is truth in what he says. Keith is a limo-liberal and has little or no connection any longer to those of us who live with financial issues. He is a millionaire spouting some partisan crap and most of you truly need to drop the political alignment and help each other.

[dondebar]

Hahahahaha! This is hilarious! And he's right - as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King pointed out. By reacting to the peaceful protests of African Americans seeking equal rights with violence, the nature of the system was laid bare for all to see. King thus considered racists in the power structure like Bull Connors important tools in the struggle for freedom. In this current struggle, Bllomberg plays a perfect Bull Connors.

[millerlois23]

he is a Zionist. this means he's a Talmudist. leading gentiles to their death is a religious rule for these people.

if it looks like the devil, it's because it is the devil.

[millerlois23]

this man allowed many New Yorkers to die last winter by neglecting to organize snow clean up after the storm which prevented ambulances from reaching people with medical emergencies.

he is a Wall-Street Luciferian Zionist.

[millerlois23]

Luciferian Wall-Street Zionist "jew" wants the white house. The leasure class' enslavement of the American Christians is almost complete.

[im52xmax]

This guy is my new hero.

[slidadog]

BLOOMBERG NOW, BLOOMBERG TOMORROW, BLOOMBERG FOREVER! LMAO

[vaatc]

Well the protestors obviously forgot to file their papers with the Department of Transportation or whoever the City of New York requires you notify to deviate traffic.

[Natapier]

Well said!!!

[choirboyfromhell1]

"Another GODDAMN BATMAN MOVIE"....LMAO!!!

[liddysmile]

omg awesome

[RustyKnightX]

We'll let the GOD DAMNED BATMAN settle this one.

[dadreamzworld]

the New Yorkers are stupid for steady voting this, nuisance in!

[bbmyls2go]

Keith : tell us how you REALLY feel! Go get 'em! GOD DAMN Go get 'em!

[OneSmileyDude]

I can't stop laughing......holy shit Keith, that was EPIC! I'm sharing this with everyone I know. My sentiments exactly...I only wish I could express them as eloquently! Bloomberg for Mayor!

[butchermachine]

KEITH OLBERMANN FOR THE WIN!!!!!

[KuroroLucifer21]

refefe^^

[DeadlyDad]

He's right, you know; in the long run, people like Bloomberg are *good* for America.

[BuddhaBebop]

@DeadlyDad But oh the damage they wreak on us in the short term.

[frankgiarra]

Keith is so great - I miss him! My cable system doesn't carry CURRENT. I miss Cenk' too!

[proud2bpagan]

@frankgiarra Mine doesn't either. It also doesn't air Logo. I can't wait to move so I can get both back.

[parchementandquills]

I love him.

[YennaBaronee]

Fuck yeah!



[strangeyoungman]

But tell us how you REALLY feel, Mr. Olberman....

[agatelicker1]

I love everything this man said! You go Keith Olbermann!! Give it to him. And you're right we do need him. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING THESE WORDS!!!

[abr4]

He's talking in a very obnoxious way...

Even if I agree with his message.

[alkqnmuneka]

Let's make a list and vote those bastards out please sign the Bloomberg resign petition

[twowheelsgood28]

Awesomely put.

[MultiSamTaylor]

Olbermann is the man!!! Best speaker in the business!

[apothead]

I think he's right.

[meratify]

THIS IS EPIC!

[NealArbic]

I wish we got this channel in Canada.

[DillAvery]

THAT GOD DAMNED BATMAN MOVIE!!

[popesnose]

thank you

[progresIVOMind]

Tellem' Keith!!!!

[Nutzername36]

fefe

[0n1n3]

Bloomberg is a dick. He thinks he represents New York but the only thing he represents is his dick. There isn't one person I know of that likes Bloomberg anymore, not in NYC, not in Buffalo, not in Albany. That guy has officially signed his own DOA. He'll never stand in politics ever again. Damn egocentric asshole.

[AdPhobos]

This man is so right.

[shevegen]

Occupy Bloomberg please and his brutal cops.

[SuperbCurmudgeon]

"Asshole, while appropriate, doesn't go far enough, sparrow111260. He is a tyrant, a little man with megalomania. Relative to that reality, "asshole is almost a compliment.

[HumanityWins]

OMG Bloomberg and Raymond Kelly are so going to get it...

also make a video about Clintons, Bushes and Cheney, Rumsfled etc.. ? :x

#¤###

#¤%#

[msandisue]

Thank you Keith - Thank you - Thank you. Nothing else needs to be said - you said it all.

[drdeak]

Bloomberg is a leaning in the direction of the very regime that killed off millions of his kind. He remains a two faced utterly disgusting 1% prick!

[charlesvan13]

Why don't you get a T-shirt with the word "Fascist" on it Mr. Bloomberg.

[charlesvan13]

It is wrong to compare the civil rights movement to ocws, people protesting to camp in a park.

[aenarion81]

@charlesvan13 whats the difference to camp under bridges because you cant pay the debt to camp in the park to protest.

20 years ago we were proud about the rich aunt in the usa, today the american dreamers live in tents and have 5 jobs

[DLCaster]

Certainly an epic rant. Good there are people somewhere in the TV-verse that can get this kind of thing said.

[CheshireKai]

@ForzaJersey Anti-gun laws create a police state? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you suggesting that if these protesters were all armed with guns then the situation would have ended more favorably? In what way is a civilian vs police firefight a preferable situation? In what way is ANY political situation better when you're armed? What a fucking conservative cowboy.

[ForzaJersey]

Hey Liberals! Wake Up! This is Big Government on Parade! Anti-Gun Laws create a police state that stomps out competition. Ah So "Progressive"!

Bloomberg let this get out of control because he could have just kicked the few dozen stragglers out the first night of OWS. But no, they hoped it would become the Left's Tea Party. Now its just become a laughing stock to the 80% of Americans who are not self-described liberals. The impact of OWS as a positive force for change is over!

[DackIsBack]

This is actually a GOOD piece from Olbermann...

He should save the moral outrage for times like these, it just makes him sound ridiculously sensationalist when he's talking about most of the other crap he bangs on about.

[pchtermino1]

I have watched Keith for a few years now and although he is a bit further left than I am I do find him quite entertaining.

This presentation is one of the best I have seen on YouTube.

Thank you Keith.

[knowledgeispowerfful]

Thanks Keith for speaking truth on bloomieberg. bloomieberg look just like my pet turtle, only my turtle has fewer wrinkles then bloomberg. Thanks for posting!

[edalgiere]

LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER

[mexcurmudgeon]

Looks like jackbooted fascism is making a comeback in a big way... this time in America!

[duzinski]

Olbermann's analysis of our painful national progress toward true democracy is excellent. This analysis is essentially what I taught my History classes for decades.

[rockyamstel007]

Well put Mr. Olbermann.....well put!!

[MisterTunemonster]

I must salute Mr. Olbermann for this beautiful, wonderful explosion of choice words at that tool of a mayor, Bloomberg.

[Auntkekebaby]

KING BLOOMBERG. He does what the fk he wants to do! Soft spoken ASSHOLE! SMH

[Filmchica]

Burning books should be illegal.

[Hdtexan]

@kenw215 Says who? Get a life....and a clue.

[tragicmia305]

@kenw215 The movement is over? Really? LOL @ U

[kenw215]

@tragicmia305 What has it accomplished ? It has jumped the shark . Its over as it should be . The only thing this has done is cost cash strapped cities money it doesn't have . Enough is enough . The first few weeks they got their message out now its one big joke . Being there is not changing a thing . Some of the people in the encampments WANT a confrontation with the police thinking it will help the cause .

[tkchrist]

@kenw215

What has been accomplished?

You're talking about it. The president and Republicans are talking about it. Jamie Dimon (CEO of Chase) is talking about them. Bloomberg is talking about them. Hell, even Faux News is talking about them. And before OWS few of these people said anything about growing wealth inequity and debt. That's a start. The longer it goes on MAYBE we can have a discussion what to do about these real problems that have been largely ignored for forty years.

[FunkForTheFunky]

@tkchrist I couldn't agree more! Fuck yeah OWS. Every day it goes on I believe more and more that there's a real change happening in America. Hell, not just America - the world. Did you know there were occupy movements in Columbia, Malaysia, South Korea, New Zealand, Belgium, Japan, and Isreal? We're everywhere now.

[loveofphysics]

@tkchrist I have to agree, fundamental to all our current problems is that the national discourse is no longer capable of even addressing those problems, instead the national news focuses all day on sensationalist bullshit. Finally, the national discourse is starting to take note of the real problems, the financial inequality and the political corruption, no one wanted to talk about these issues, so OWS can feel a sense in accomplishment in at least forcing them to begin the discussion.

[Usernamedeleted]

@kenw215 the whole point is that they won't leave until things change

[tragicmia305]

@kenw215 Yeah, people WANT confrontations with police. That's why protesters have remained peaceful despite the fact that they have been brutalized by police. The problem with people like you is that you watch Hannity and O'Reilly and you Eat, swallow and digest their lies.. Its ok though, the 99% doesn't need 99% participation for it to be effective. 20,000+ people at Foley Square yesterday means that this movement is just getting started. Its not going anywhere.

[420gma]

Respond to this video... I've missed you Keith your rants of the truth are the very reason msnbc let you go.I no longer watch them.And so now cenk will be joining you for the same reason. You've completely expressed how I feel right now .Thank You !

[maidenshadows]

I love you, Keith. I am so glad you are back.

[729Drew]

When TPTB come for the police unions, all these cops better remember which side they chose.

[Obasiliasfilosofos]

throughout the world we are plagued by petty tyrant mayors and moral cowardice of the yes men in uniform.

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

we are serious. This is only the beginning, with the help of the internet, and the free exchange of ideas and instant dissemination of information it affords us, it is just a matter of time. I have noticed such an awakening of people, in just the last 6 months or so. Its truly amazing, the best part is,we are just getting started. Thank you for reading my rant.

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

who is pissed off at this fraudulent pyramid scheme they call capitalism or our monetary system, ur not, there are literally millions of us, worldwide who are. Now all we need to do is band together and TAKE BACK, the power that is rightfully ours, that was stolen from Americans back in 1913, by the privately owned cartel of international banksters. As occupy gains strength throughout the coming months, eventually we need a nationwide strike, a week or so should do it. to let the elites know we

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

in the united states. That is the only way we will ever break the debt slavery cycle inflicted upon the 99% of humans around the world. So again, thank you Keith Olbermann for speaking truth to power. If you do not have current tv thru ur local cable provider, as we in N KY do not thru insight cable, call your cable provider and threaten to cancel cable tv for direct tv so you can have access to current tv, PS, the young turks is also coming to current. If you think ur the only one out there

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

earlier this year. There is a reason why occupy is alive and well in over 80 countries, the world, the 99% across the world is waiting for the American spring to happen. Personally, I think it will, as our financial situation becomes more desparate for more americans. Solution: The death of the debt money system, if you do not know what that is or do not know the fraudulent way in which money is created, learn it, I suggest watching "Money Masters", its on you tube. This revolution has to start

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

for two reasons. first, because no matter how many times the media calls this a recession, economic downturn, etc, its not. This is a DEPRESSION. and freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, and many of us have NOTHING left to lose, and second, this is the first movement armed with INSTANT ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, and the immense dessemination of information it facilitates. I feel, the elite power structure has no idea what they are really up agianst. Look at the Arab spring

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

do nothing more than to strengthen our cause. Like Olbermann said, we need elitists like bloomberg to keep throwing gas on the fire, because anyone who knows anything about america, our attention span is little more than 30 days at the most, so I join Olbermann in thanking bloomberg for being such a putz and "helping" to keep the movement strong. Whether you agree with me or not, I can say.movements come and go, some, like civil rights, did accomplish quite a bit, but this movement is special,

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

him, IS A TOOL OF THE BANKS. So where does that leave us? the 99% in the "political" process? It gives us a little less than a year, to further organize, and get behind someone of a third party. Obviously the one party, two faction system we have now, is not working. I know this started as a salute to Olberman,m and ended up a rant against our political/corporate/banking regime that has had a death grip on our country since 1913. I apologize for that. I think that the actions of Bloomberg will

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

use force is your own. That way the president has plausible deniability. So, in this way obama's administration can "help" but not actually help. It shows without a doubt, that whether you are a demoplican or a republicrat, you are OWNED by the banks and corporations. I was wondering why Obama was being so mute on the issue of OWS. And now I am seeing it perfectly clear. this also explains why he hasn't fulfilled any of his campaign promises from 08. Because he, like the administration before

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

quite the opposite, he took him to task, stating, he is convienently enroute to Austrailia, also saying there was a conference call between 18 mayors across the country earlier this week, that DHS, among other federal agencies were lending advice and support to the mayors to clear out the occupy movements across the country, while stating that it is up to each municipality to do what they think is right. That is classic politics, I'll help with advice and logistical support, but the decision to

[MrDANNYUNDERWOODky]

Olbermann is definately not afraid to speak truth to power. Nov 15th seems to be a day Olbermann gives very stirring comments, (see Nov 15th 2010). In my opinion, Olbermann is the ONLY real "journalist", in the classic sense, left on the mainstream media, as far as current tv is mainstream. If you remember back to the days following 9/11, O'reiley made a comment saying to disagree with the president, or protesting would be "unamerican", Olbermann is the opposite, he does not dick ride obama,

[astraia1x]

can you say "police state"?? all lawmakers -- local, state and federal -- should be outraged.

[Folderol1992]

I like Batman.

[Graysonisright]

Obama does not care about the demonstrators. He is probably behind the coordinated police raids.

[zippyman818]

So glad I didn't buy in the Financial District.

[VelvetRope1992]

Love this man.

[Tatchko]

Keith Olbermann is the Goddamn Batman.

[Malangsufi]

I sure hope his car does not blow up by accident one of these days!

[Rary113]

What the hell happened to our first amendment, exactly?

[Andyeeee]

@Rary113 I can answer that: since people stopped fighting for the first amendment, it has become easy for the "rich" to shut people up.

[JTlovesDexter2]

It sickens me that 'mainstream media' denigrates the message that the OWS movement is trying to accomplish.

Thank you Keith for putting my words into your mouth!

[IntEngT]

excellent

[julsHz]

Marry me, Kieth.

[rencull]

OMG go get them great

[phillisthebarbarian]

haha this is great material. Keith deserves it!

[snipzor]

All of those movements >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>> OWS

They do not compare, Bloomberg does not compare to Wallace. Those figures did not cause the movement, they strengthened what was already one hell of a strong movement. The concept is that the police action is meant to boost support in the long-term, not the short. What I'm saying is this, Canadians want their fucking park back. OWS, take a page from the Tea Party, and do it right, get rid of the god damn tent cities.

[seamoremonster]

Hey Fixed longtime. Thanks for posting. Excellent. Keith cooks! Bloomberg blows....

What a great editorial. Shame on Bloomberg and Quan and others who are trying to undermine the Occupy movement. Power to the people...long live Occupy.

[SmokeyMcadams]

Olbermann you are the f**ken man!!!

[spazfox]

This gave me a raging liberal boner.

[sparrow111260]

Yep, Bloomberg is an asshole.
