The problem with the 'job creators' stratagem is that, with record high wealth/corporate earnings, record low taxes and record high unemployment, it has no obvious basis in reality. It is also delightful to see these protesters dodge his obvious trap, forcing him to awkwardly offer up the payoff without an organic set up. His karma ran over his dogma.


You seem to be oblivious to how we got here. Your argument/position has no obvious basis in reality. Raising taxes doesn't fix anything. It doesn't break up the big banks, stop corporatism, or end the magic money tree called the federal reserve.

It's a delight to frame these serious problems into false partisan arguments?

Nice joke though. But the 90s called and want to know wtf you're talking about.

I thought it was pretty well known that the Kennedy era changed the polarity of the Democrat/Republican opinion in regards to social issues.

That should mean that appeals to pre-1960's inconsistencies are pretty much baseless. Maybe this is too complex a notion.

So the poor are poo because of wall street? What BS.
Herman Cain is a bad apple because he not a Democrat. IF he was a Democrat and speak the raciest democrat trash that Democrats use to keep blacks down then he would be a good guy. Blacks have been Republicans all the way up till the president Kennedy. Dr. Martin Luther King was Republican. The Democrats have done more harm to the black man than any other group through social enslavement. Not to mention that Democrats started the KKK. If I were black why the heck would I be a Democrat? Herman Cain is a black man who sees through such bunk.

Old Man Bill calls Dr. Cornel West "Tavis" at 13:30.

At least you're not a fan of violence. Well... unless it's necessary, which means you should be condemning these cops, as this was definitely a peaceful protest. But I doubt you will, because it's acceptable to assault "dumb kids", right? Especially if they don't think the way you do. If the cops assaulted them, it must be the fault of the protesters, right? Marxist radicals? Really? Really? Do you even read the dross on your screen before you hit the submit button? Your comment seems to be nothing but stream-of-consciousness prattle infected with Foxisms, ditto-head mantra, and the voices in your Cheerios.

EDIT: Why no pretty quote box?


>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:< br />I'm no fan of unnecessary violence. For shame.
But these dummies at the protests need to dial it back, and stop doing things in such a way as to make a police presence necessary. If they would conduct a peaceful prostest that didn't interfere with business and daily traffic then cops wouldn't be needed. If cops weren't needed, then no one would get pepper-sprayed. Takes two to tango, and if protestors don't want cops giving them a hard time then maybe protestors should not be doing crap that gets police called to the scene. Use common sense. Just because you're protesting doesn't mean you need to be a dingus that requires cops around to keep you in line.
And these NYC bozos are tools. Cornel West, and a bunch of other marxist radicals are there and they aren't there to peacefully protest Wall Street excess. They are there to stir people up. These dumb kids going there need to wake up and realize they are being used as someone else's 'useful idiot'. I'm sure this chick didn't go there thinking she was going to end up in a scene where pepper spray got used.

I'm soooo in love with Cornell West.

God, I dislike Cornel West for a lot of reasons irrelevant to this video, but he's damn right in this case... sigh.

I just feel like the office of the president is just corrupted to the point that it just cannot be effective anymore. Prof. West's criticisms are right on the money, and I LOVED the way he exposed Fox New's lack of imagination in the way they attack him for things that just aren't true while there are LEGITIMATE problems with the presidency which they just don't address because it is part of their interests.

Well played Prof. West... I still think your rap album sucks.

Cornel West is so loveable, I could listen to him talk about paint drying and I'd still be enamoured. Plus anyone who makes that cunt Morgan look like the douche he is, wins in my book. I hope to god he gets taken down in the News of the World furore at some point, I would die a happy girl.

it's a 2 hour thing on a new malcolm x book. with some great words by cornell west

He's got a great world view in that he's open minded and sees the best of a person first, even if that person is a bigoted asshole. It must take a lot of intellectual charactor to be so generous to everybody, especially those that treat you like an enemy.>> ^Aniatario:
