Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters created a 'human float' at the Tournament of Roses parade and unfurled giant banners of the constitution an a giant octopus made of recycled grocery bags. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks discuss.

Vampire Squid? Or Octopi-Wall Street?

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

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.

@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.

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

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

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.

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.
