October 2011 Washington DC: Chris Hedges speech. Very moving!

Powerful words! Could he be the Patrick Henry of the movement?

@ they are protesting goldman sachs. they are wall st. freddy mac and fanny mae were small potatoes compared to the private banks. Protesting washington is pointless cause they are just paid to do a job for wall st. And finally if you think barney frank caused the housing crisis while republicans countrolled the house and senate for a decade you are totally deluded but that seems obvious. and rapes and drug use is just propaganda for retards.

You cannot blame Wall St.. they need to blame the government... why do they not protest Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.. why not Goldman Sachs.. why not our lawmakers who have made themselves rich the OWS are not protesting the right people>> Why not Barney Frank who caused the housing crisis.. Doing this with violence is wrong.. the rapes are wrong, the drug use is wrong..

It's obvious, Chris Hedges is All In. He is not Hedge-ing his bets. He is the best amongst us with his intrepid integrity and corruptless courage.

I've been at Occupy LA for 3 weeks, Chis Hedges understands why I and thousands are out in our tents (if that) to try and make a change.

Chris Hedges has gone off the deep end.

@MrAlienlovechild Your claim that he is opposed to civil rights, however, while not only vague, is disingenuous. Paul's record on civil liberties is better than not only all of the other Republican candidates, but Obama's as well. He opposed the Patriot Act, opposed Obama's ability to assassinate a US citizen without trial, opposes state imposed forms of racism (affirmative action and segregation alike). As for Social Security, it not only is unconstitutional, it is also bankrupt.
