I laughed when the local news agency could not broadcast locally on Occupy Portland due to all the IPods and IPads the poor occupiers were using that took up the bandwidth. The city was turning off their electrical car chargers too since the occupiers were converting them to charge all their electrical toys... oops I mean gear.

Like you, I’m not sure if we are labeling the right group with “greed”.

".
Make up your mind please:
Are they hypocrits because they protest for more income equality, and have too much income already?
Or are they hypocrits because theey protest for more income equality, and don't have enough income?

What makes them a hypocrite is when they have enough, but see someone else with more than them and want it, while at the same time criticizing those with more, while at the same time not considering those who have less than them.

You see, most of them are like this..."I have to go to the food bank to get food, but I can pay $32.50 for a carton of cigarettes and pay $15 for a case of beer. But I don't have money for food and I need food so someone else should pay for my food while I spend mine on cigarettes and beer."

Look it up.

Again: I am straight, unmarried.
That should be all you need to know, to judge If my stance on gay marriage (I think yes, gay couples should have the same rights as straight ones) is hypocritical.
Funny, that both you and macman, say you don't know me enough.
Anything particular you need to know? (I was at a gay wedding once, does that help?)

For the record: "That's not the 1% we mean" Is an argument I don't agree with either (and neither does Mr. Moore). The only real hypocrisy i've seen here is the whole non-unionized stagehands for capitalism, a love story thing.

Unfortunately I haven't found a statement by Moore on the issue.

Moore KNOWS hes a 1%,but his ability at deflection,is as good as you defending him.

I am straight also,and I support anyones right to be with whoever they want to be with.Gay,Transgendered,BI.....etc.. Am I hypocritical? Jeez,quit deflecting the original story of the OP,and either agree or disagree. Hes already stated it,so now what are you going to say?

I say hes a Hypocrite. I have the proof to back it up.

I have the exact same proof that you are a hypocrite:
Moore is rich
I knew that before yesterday.
Didn't you?
Didn't winning an Oscar give you a clue, that he made propably a pretty penny from his movies?
I knew that.
Being rich, and supporting people who aren't is just as hypocritical as being straight and supporting gay people.

WRONG!!!!!

Do you really see it that way? really?

Being straight or gay has NOTHING to do about Michal Moore being a hypocrite,no matter how hard you try to deflect it to make your silly a$$ argument stick !! HE HAS MILLIONS!!!! AND SAID HE WAS 99%!! Get it? People fawn over this guy,defend him like he KNOWS everything about the needs of America,while he sits back and counts his money off of people like you. Pathetic. Pathetic that you cant understand it. Pathetic you defend him.

I don't think the issues of the 99% and supporting gay marriage is comparable. A lot of straight people support gay marriage and there are gays who do not support gay marriage. But with OWS, that is a completely different issue.

People can protest whatever they want. They just should not misrepresent themselves while doing it. That is the issue with Michael Moore, he misrepresents his purpose and lied about his wealth while condemning others for having wealth. That is misrepresentation and a lie. It kind of makes his protest not credible.

edit on 28-10-2011 by sonnny1 because: (no reason given)

What country you from?

Do they speak English there?

Answer the question.

Say "what" one more god damned time, I dare you!

Here it is again, because apparently you didn't understand it.

At what level of income do people relinquish their first amendment rights?

Last time you were asked this question, you responded with something unrelated to the thread that I suppose you could chalk up to a mild stroke. "When the people scream..." is not a level of income, and therefore no matter what they scream it cannot be a valid answer to a numerical question. So...

At what level of income do people relinquish their first amendment rights?

I don't want to hear talking points. I don't want to hear rhetoric. I don't want to hear conjecture.

If I so much as hear you clear your throat without giving a numerical answer then we can all assume that you don't understand English and we can move our discussion on without you.

EVERYONE has the right to protest,get it? Protest away!!!!! Get a free meal,while your at it!!!

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

WHERE does it say ANYTHING about income?

NOWHERE.



Back on Topic..........................
The OP was about Michael Moore and his LIES. Can you stay on Topic?

...damn people got really crazy with this percentage (1) is just figurative, one can be millionaire by its own efforts and not directly support the Corporate Machine that owns the world.

Michael Moore, at this very minute, is in Oakland supporting the protesters.

Just wanted to add that in here.

Star for you!

OK, so earlier tonight I posed the story where Moore admits to being part of the 1%....AND, financially speaking, he sort of is; However, he marches with the 99%....he denounces the EVILS of capitalism...BUT, most importantly of all....he is the rare breed of the 1% that says "tax me". You won't hear that often.

I applaud Moore and give him a ADVICE TO MOORE...if you are reading...just know your role and film your "OWS" documentary from the sidelines.

Maybe they protest because they do not know what real poor is and are a bunch of narcissistic a-holes...

Maybe they protest because they have nothing better to do...

Maybe they protest because they don't want to actually work hard for success and the whole idea of redistribution of wealth sounds like an easy way to get some more toys.

Diamond MM if in Oakland will be truing his best to catch what he can on film (may all be useful later for a docu)!

The rigid mind-sets in the comments are on the verge of shattering as soon as the fat lady sings. If I am NOT one of the 1%, and I support capitalism, am I a hypocrite in your black and white worlds? Have you ever considered that some of us believe in human rights and equality or all, rather than a handful?

We don't have capitalism yet. The system is fixed and rigged, the deck is stacked. Being self employed, rather than some corporate whore, I value the concept of capitalism. Sure, the corporate folks get all kinds of goodies and freebies, but they sold out and I didn't. I can still look at myself in the mirror and know that I didn't crawl over the backs of my fellow man to pay for what I have. I didn't do evil deeds for money. I choose to remain on my own, rather than working for the state. I'd consider moving to another country before I did that. I'm far from patriotic. I think nationalism is the root of much evil in this world. We are humans on planet Earth. We need to get over these status games and forming cliques that bully those not in our clique. We need to grow up.

MM has a net worth of 50 million. The 400 richest people in America (not the world) count their money in BILLIONS. Does anyone see how he falls short of being in the .25% yet? He's not got enough money to join that club. He's richer than you, but still a peon. I can't believe I'm writing this. I don't even like MM. I dislike ignorance. Ignorance='to ignore' willfully. Deny ignorance!

Of course he is supporting them because they are the ones buying his movies and books. Of course he wants to keep them on his side. After all, he is trying to usher in Marxist Socialism and what better way than to tell his followers they are being persecuted and subjected to get Marxism accepted.

And they call us sheeple.
