THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND: "We're back and We're Proud!" in Occupy Oakland

[gaaraman082]

@TexasBeaner214 How does one 'stick' his grammar?

[ThereAreNoUnionThugs]

Ya, SDS is weather underground just like MSA is Muslim Brotherhood.

But Tea Party is John Birch Society? That goes to far.

Weird how they're all homophobes but they all love the "Koch"

[TeaPartyTelevision]

@ThereAreNoUnionThugs

What is "MSA". And who is "homophopes"

[brmcint]

@TeaPartyTelevision If you watch the video you posted, you would discover that "MSA" is Movement for a Democratic Society (for non-students). You would have also discovered that this gentleman was never in the Weather Underground or even SDS. The title is deceptive and the interviewer asked clearly biased and targeted questions. The entire video was devoid of professionalism and kudos to the interviewee for his patience and clear answers. "Homophobes" is plural.

[YOURpervertexposer]

By the way, this is the result of us caving into perverted, homosexual, and mentally ill psychologists and obliging their demands that we release the people and close down all our state run mental institutes.

I think the first program to garner support for, is the reconstruction of those important facilities, because once done, the welfare rolls will literally vanish, of course, the democrat/homosexual party would also cease to exist.

[YOURpervertexposer]

Well I'm glad this wannabe Hitlerist claimed "The Bill Of Rights - is something we do stand for," because in proclaiming that, he destroys his own movement. ALL of them, but most importantly, 3, 4, 5 would literally and physically DESTROY Socialism, Communism, Anarchism in EVERY WAY. Apparently, he's thinking with remnants of his drug crazed/infected mind. Let's just hope that he and all his Obama communists are quickly imprisoned as the anarchist enemies of our Bill Of Rights that they are.

[brmcint]

@YOURpervertexposer It's hard to follow much of what you're saying here. Referring to the gentleman in this video as a "Hitlerist" is bizarre and desperate. Referring to Obama as both "communist" and "anarchist" is irreconcilable. Calling this man drug-crazed and infected is random and a poor exercise of rational dialogue and proper behavior.

[brmcint]

@YOURpervertexposer As for the Constitution, if you follow the contemporaneous debates, the federalists intentionally included the "supremacy" and "general welfare" clause to keep the constitution living and environment-based and the federal government, and especially the Executive, less constrained by strict interpretations. Violations of the Bill of Rights occurred immediately. See, for example, John Adams' Sedition Act. Hamilton wanted an income tax. What are these Founding Fathers?

[brmcint]

@YOURpervertexposer Also what do Amendments 3, 4, and 5 have to do with socialism?

[voodoolife]

Therefore, instead of encouraging slavery, the Constitution encourages freedom by giving an increase of "two-fifths" of political power to free over slave States. So much for the three-fifths clause; taking it at is worst, it still leans to freedom, not slavery; for, be it remembered that the Constitution nowhere forbids a colored man to vote.

[voodoolife]

But giving the provisions the very worse construction, what does it amount to? I answer — It is a downright disability laid upon the slave holding States; one which deprives those States of two-fifths of their natural basis of representation. A black man in a free State is worth just two-fifths more than a black man in a slave State, as a basis of political power under the Constitution.

[voodoolife]

As for the 3/5 clause, I'll let Mr. Douglass explain it in his own words:

Let us grant, for the sake of the argument, that the first of these provisions, referring to the basis of representation and taxation, does refer to slaves. We are not compelled to make that admission, for it might fairly apply to aliens — persons living in the country, but not naturalized.

[rowan2garcia]

We can criticize this man's hygiene and make other slurs but we absolutely have to take him seriously. He's articulate and definitely passionate. Nobody gives a crap what you look like if you think you're at war. From what I can tell most of the conservatives and Tea Party don't have even 1% of this guys 100% commitment. Unless We The People ratchet up our Dedication and Leadership (Douglas Hyde, anybody?) these guys are going to burn down our cities.

[B1GR]

I'm floored, I don't like the guy, but I have to say, he has his thoughts together, he flippin rolled that stuff off his tongue w'o prep. I hate socialists, but at least can respect that guy...to some degree. Its obvious he's dedicated...totally misguided...but dedicated. I also like him cause he doesn't like O'bama.

[sockmess]

Damn I thought he was the hedgehog. Ron JEREMY

[shikamoo]

The latest WSJ/NBC poll shows 63% of America does not support OWS and only 28% does. You are NOT the 99%.

[brmcint]

@shikamoo "Support" to some means to actually give something to it. Notice that 32% have a positive view of Occupy in the same poll. 35% have a negative view. The rest are either neutral or don't know. Sounds like America is split on the effectiveness of Occupy, but not the grievance, especially considering that over 75% in the same poll think there is too much economic inequality.

[AynManRand]

This guy talking is organizing out of Diablo Valley College and apparently is real trouble, has problems with women and is rejected by the Bay area MDS

[MrMalcolm900]

Can't call it the 99% if you only invoke liberal views and ideologies. These people are completely anti-conservative besides the very few libertarians in these OWS movements. My question is how the hell are they still calling themselves the 99%?

[braindeadliberals]

You're back, you still SUCK and you smell like you haven't washed since the 70's.

[stabg289]

You can always tell what a marxist is . The losers in society !

[brmcint]

@stabg289 And this comment makes you a winner.

[amerdreamdocs]

. awaken sleeping giant to labour rights; you call that an awakening? that may have been awake 100 years ago when capitalists were using people for labour but not letting them have equal access to profits; the new problem is being declined a job . . the way our system expects us to care is use family and friends for unemployment insurance, and leave the breeding to highly employed families; but the giant is still sleeping on that one; we are still trying to out-breed the next religious nut .

[1835msd]

The 99% are at home working a job or trying to get a job. The 1% are the idiots who are protesting against capitalism, instead of the government employees they claim are corrupt. It is called logic Mr. Spock, congress is accountable to you not wall st.

[go2mikerenzi]

crawl back underground you worm

[saturnn77]

I don't even think that you have a half of a fraction of one percent involved in OWS.

[oldschoolgreentube]

lol back by popular demand. Hahahahahaha. Stupid weirdo. Not even a hippie. Hippies had some flair, some style, a little comportment in the way they dressed. This guy is just a nasty old man with greasy hair and filthy clothes.

[MrMalcolm900]

@oldschoolgreentube What are you talking about? this guy made total fucking sense, by insult the dude when everything he said is a fact. The only thing I disagree on is this idea that socialism will make everything better.

[brmcint]

@oldschoolgreentube Jesus was a nasty young man with greasy hair and filthy clothes. Stalin dressed quite nicely. Personal appearance doesn't disprove anything.

[hydin1]

Newt had it right, a bath wouldn't hurt that guy at all.

The only way to move the masses is too crush the middle class lifestyle, and their savior Barry doing his best.

Some time soon their french style revolution will begin, and they will find out where they stand on Darwin's evolutionary scale. Success has to to with being smart and working hard.

[crashes82]

And this goofy bastard standing on my right is the Vice President. Where do I sign up ?

[johnnycmajor]

Ron Paul is a Repulican for one reason to get heard not sure if that fellow is in love with the Constitution and liberty why he never mentioned Ron Paul.

Get him in so he can help us help ourselves and he will sway congress with our help and expose bought politicians you can be sure of that. One thing as President he has the power to do is get all our troops home from around the world.

[johnnycmajor]

The one percent is not what some of these people think I wish they would get it right.

Go get the federal reserve, big big banks that are taking the bailouts, bought politicians. Just because some people got rich from working and saving and creation jobs for other people, we do not want to steal anything from them. They must start stating which corporations, such goldman sachs.

[Redlegarty]

Please, please, please let me pepper spray his nasty "oppressed" face.

[PlasticCow01]

What the fuck is with these old commie dicktard losers? They look so stereotypical-like some ex postal worker.

[conservideo]

Along with the rest of his idiot rant, he's completely mis-stating on the subject of slavery. The man is a fool.

[gensNormannorum]

Don't worry dude. You don't look scary. In fact, if anything, you look pretty impotent and come off not as an "organizer" but more like an opportunist.

[drquinones69]

CYNTHIA MCKINNEY! BAHAHAHAHA!

[antigreenjacket]

This guy is not smart.

[deepVAroots]

He better hope he doesn't wake the 'sleeping giant'. Because the real sleeping giant will crush them.

[firefly059]

So he believes in the Bill of Rights, but it is ok to take from the 1%. He seems a bit confused.

[VirginaFuller]

Very interesting!

You did a great job Sally and Steve.

[SuperMikekennedy]

u are a blanking bum!!!! AN ALWAYS WILL BE!~!!!!!

[unionjack72]

The needs of the many... LMAO

Hippie BS

[coswyn]

Somewhat sensible grievances, absolutely dreadful solutions.

The corruption of Washington by corporate interests is a very real problem, but what these people are proposing to solve it would be more disastrous than indifference.

[IslamistTube3]

Awaking all TWO of them ! IDIOTS !

[BayProductions]

OWS information has so far always flowed both ways freely, avoiding top down power nodes of information flow.

The Church Council of Greater Seattle affirms the core economic message and

nonviolent purpose of the Occupy Seattle movement. Pastors, ministers, clergy –

friends of the Church Council – have been touched by the depth of thought,

commitment to democratic process and resiliency of spirit of the occupiers.

[jrnyFanInTracy]

Perfect illustration of an occupier who can say things that you will find some Tea Partiers, myself as an example agreeing with. Corporations have too much power in the political process. Democrats and Republicans are bought and paid for.

Also a perfect illustration of how the #OWS and the Tea Party have almost NOTHING in common as far as the solution to the problems! Great job on the video and the interview questions! Thanks

[TprJMc1987]

Knucklehead appears to be a bit long in the tooth to be a "Student".
