Good for you, Alec. He did very well.

@Sagemind, I don't think your description is accurate.

This would be more accurate.

Alec Baldwin showed up Tuesday night at Occupy Wall Street and was pursued and pestered by Ron Paul supporters about Ending the Federal Reserve Banking System.

Let's grill the celebrity who is there to show support and bring some attention to your cause. He did manage to make a good point about the banks being regulated, instead of just tearing down the system, if that's what some of these protestors want.

THANK YOU

Please get people thinking rationally instead of knee-jerk.

Props for Mr. Baldwin for cleaning up Occupy, broom and dustpan in hand!

Love the idiot who starts giving Alec a definition of what the federal reserve is, right after he's clearly demonstrated he knows exactly what the fed is. And the guy doesn't stop after Alec tells him once "I know what the fed is, what I don't know is how shutting down the fed affects capital markets in this country" ... the annoying idiot with a mic just goes back into his goddamn narcissistic routine of explaining it. I think it's the same guy at the end trying to cram his worldview into a new binary paradigm (asking him to "endorse ending the fed" even though Alec has just stated three times he doesn't see why it'd be a good thing... asking him to confirm support for Ron Paul, which is kind of an obnoxious question if you're talking to Alec Baldwin). FUCK THAT GUY.

I'm sympathetic but I think many many of the actual OWS protesters are, at best, little wannabe dictators. And: Grassroots movement, MY DICK.

These 'Ron Paul supporters' are so goddamn unbearable. It's clear they're well versed in their theory, but the way they preach seems really closed minded; they'll not hear any other viewpoint. I'm wary of anyone who pushes their ideology with such zeal. You don't know quite how they're going to act when they don't get their way...

1. Who owns the Fed?
2. What is the Fed?

Answer those 2 questions and anybody that is protesting Wall Street that isn't advocating ending the fed is either politically blinded or disingenuous.
