On October 6, 2011, (sorry, folks... the video says "October 6, 2001... but I can't change it now... ) liberal talk show host Mike Malloy kicked off the Occupy D.C. rally with a rousing and inspiring speech that put the 99% movement in historical perspective, while calling for resistance to greed-centered corporate thugs by heeding the call to action, joining the occupation, & reclaiming the government for the people.
This is a MUST-HEAR SPEECH!

@DMaster81 Considering that Obama had more than doubled the Nat. Debt in his first two years, I can see the confort you take in your false argument that no one was sounding alarms over the spending that Bush and the Rep. Congress was making. Unlike you, I've been consistent on spending & taxes under both Bush & Obama; $16 Trillion Debt, $9 Trillion since Obama came to office.
One can't tax enough to pay it off, not even the "1%" has that kind of money.

@DMaster81 Selective memory you have there that no Republicans were ever critical of Bush; on several spending issues he was a regular pinata by Liembaugh, Beck, and other pundents (Not that you would care to remember any of it)
On Headline News, Beck repeatedly critizied Bush and the Congress for having more than one set of books; so you have either proven yourself as dishonest or ignorant.

And just to clarify further, the last month of job creation was Dec 2007. In 2008 when Bush was still in office we lost 5 MILLION JOBS. Obama's 1st 3 months in office lost 2 million more. Now we could be getting them back quicker probly, but more jobs were lost in Bush's last year than Obama's entire presidency that Repubs refer to as "job killing".

@Surmar01 yes Obama created all of this mess himself, he is the 1 solely responsible for the current state of the American economy. As someone else noted, he actually put the wars on the books. Had Bush done that for 5 yrs those deficits he was running would've lookde alot worse. And funny that Republicans suddenly cared about the debt as Bush was running 500 billion no one stood up and called for a balanced budget amendment.

@Surmar01 Faux News victims bring to mind the quote: “To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.” - Thomas Paine - who wrote "Rights of Man" as a rebuttal to Edmund Burke's (the FATHER of CONservatism) assertion that the masses needed to be ruled by a small, rich, elite. That's STILL the CON agenda. As Louis Brandeis said, "We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

@Surmar01 You SERIOUSLY must TURN OFF FAUX NEWS. Your ignorance of history is JUST what CONS LOVE. "Opinions" ARE NOT "FACTS." Liberal policies gave us the "The Great Prosperity." CON policies crashed the economy 2x in 100 yrs, turned the middle class into the working poor, & transformed America from the MOST to the LEAST upwardly mobile of all industrialized naitons. As the Bible says, "know them by their fruits." If those FACTS don't fit your propagandize mind, you're lost cause. BYE!

@Dacktyl It seems to me that Liberals project what they don't like about themselves onto others. Having grown up in a progressive home, I've never met a Conservitive that fit the mold that my parent cast them in; but I have met more than one Liberal that fitted said cast perfectly.

@Surmar01 WOW. You're clueless. "The GREAT PROSPERITY" was the period between 1947-1979 - it was also called "THE GREAT COMPRESSION" -meaning the gap between rich & poor was SLIM. It's not a book - it's a time in history. That's like asking for footnotes for "The Dark Ages." I mean, seriously. PLEASE turn off Faux News. Why don't you read a Thom Hartmann book? He's kind to tedious CONS, & has a lot more patience than I do as he tries his best to penetrate decades of programmed lies.

@Surmar01 OBAMA finally put BUSH'S ILLEGAL WARS ON THE BOOKS, you tedious, non-reality-living, tool. Then..."SUDDENLY" the budget exploded. Repugs KNEW you tools wouldn't pay attention to their little bookkeeping trick as you were silently glued to Faux News while they raided the treasury. Frankly, you're making me weak with your programmed talking points - a true testament to the power of propaganda - & a window into the world of what normal people (non-Republicans) are up against.

@Dacktyl Maybe I should have been clear-er, how many pages of footnotes does "The Great Prosperity" have?
