| Lawrence O'Donnell's 10/14 guest Michael Moore solidified Occupy Wall Street's street cred with his strait forward commentary about the meaning of this swelling spontaneous coast to coast non violent protest movement, the likes of which we have not seen since the dark days of the Vietnam War. Moore's comments plus a quick tour of the You Tube clips sent out from these protests are testaments that the ordinary citizens of this country, no longer willing to suffer in silence, want America restored to a government of, by and for the people. The war protests of the 60s too fell victim to caustic, often violent critics on the right, a situation that steadily escalated to the 1968 Democratic Convention. This time its about the increasingly dangerous corporate state that America has become, a condition that has rendered our very own U.S. Congress, bought, paid for and irrelevant. As creator of Taowriter5000 I appreciate msnbc and Mr. O'Donnell's embed and am glad to relay the interview to visitors to this site. M.Malsbary |
