Katrina vanden Heuvel & Danny Schechter Speak Out at Occupy Wall Street

By on October 12, 2011 in News 4

Amy Goodman and Democracy Now give the voices of progressive protest an outlet. Note Danny holding up a placard for his disinformation documentary Plunder: The Crime of our Time, which really does seem more timely now than ever.

    This post is fucking lame. Say Amy, what is it like to split $100,000?

    Majestic, your posts are garbage.

    Explain yourself? Why is this post lame? Your lack of explanation reflects pretty badly on your intelligence. The settlement should have been more.

    Katrina Vanden Heuvel from the Nation. She wants electoral energy to come from this? Right there on camera, it seems to me, she can’t help herself. Starry eyed ruminations of usurping the energy from this for menial political gain. She seems to be intimating that “radical systemic change” can only come from the Democratic party. She brings up a bunch of examples of how the Democratic party was a vehicle for change. Obama is just “behind he curve”, if we could only point him in the right direction. Well I don’t have much faith in that, this isn’t the past and the Democratic leadership are almost all neo-liberal now. How many more decades must we endure of this left right, good cop bad cop shit before we begin to doubt that little piece of disinformation?

    Obama turned out to be the bastard son of Bush and she still sees these glittering stars and doves flying about his head, still going back for more.  I saw this video just recently of this documentary maker who insisted on screwing around with a cobra. He was bitten and rushed off to the hospital. A few hours later he was right back screwing with the damn thing. He and Heuvel must suffer the same mental illness I swear.
