Tom Morello at OWS: Interview & concert in Zuccotti Park

Rage Against the Machine guitarist and political activist Tom Morello is just one of the celebrities who has recently showed up in Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park to offer his support for the Occupy Wall Street movement. After performing for protesters this afternoon, Morello answered some questions with RT's Lucy Kafanov about Barack Obama, the state of America, bailouts, banks and the Occupy movement. Morello recently released the record World Wide Rebel Songs on behalf of his The Nightwatchman project.

@pwn00bz4ever America doesn't need any media outlet to make it look bad.

[WearechangeEgypt]

Luke didn't ask him about his views on the FED and ending it! :$

Enclave of human debris that wants to be exempt of reality???

Lmao

Thats one clever idiot.

[muskymod]

Simply an enclave of human debris that wants to be exempt from reality!.....go fly your freak flag!

[muskymod]

@AlmightyNoelle They have achieved nothing!!!....and have turned to violence.....your little movement has been abandoned by its supporters......the remainder of the movement is simply flying the freak flag!

[muskymod]

@AlmightyNoelle How many items on the occupy demand list have been achieved?

[AlmightyNoelle]

@muskymod well for one the city of Berkley is pulling out 300 million of city assets from wells fargo to move to a smaller bank to send a message to big banks, as well as the thousands that moved from big banks during bank transfer day. Oakland police are having power stripped when the judge saw how they were treating the protestors. You'd be surprised how much we have achieved in 6 months.

[muskymod]

@AlmightyNoelle Can you tell me exactly what has been achieved other than a lice infestation?

[AlmightyNoelle]

@muskymod actually it's still going on. the only reason im sure you would think it 'failed' is because you've been watching fox news and they fail to report it. there are hundreds of thousands of people protesting all over the country, you can watch the livestreams of it. If you don't know what you're talking about then don't say anything at all.

@JonasBridgous - typical western idiot who knows nothing about living under dictators for decades. paraphrasing Mark Twain: an idiot should keep his mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. fits you well.

[JonasBridgous]

'Arab Spring' - just an excuse for angry Arabs to kill and destroy. It's not too unlike the England riots that took place. Lowlives and scumbags causing carnage.

@muskymod dude you have no idea what you're even saying
