You have to ask yourself, why THIS video outraged Rush Limbaugh

Late to the game here, but a direct answer to your question of the subject of your thread follows:

I guess you didn't see Asner last week on the Fox O'Reilly show where he admits that he is a strong socialist. So strong that he thinks Obama is not doing enough to this country.

I'm thinking that Limbaugh probably secretly hates O'Reilly and wouldn't want to directly refer to that episode.

I'm a poor person and I survive on less then $10K a year. I despise rich people not because I'm jealous but because their greedy. I don't need money to be happy. I could be making a lot more money then I am now but I choose not to. happines is more important to me then money. Seriously how much money does one person need? Some people in the country have more money then I could make in a million lifetimes. But it's never enough they always want more and they want it at the poors expense.

Yeah that's usually the case with the right, they'll say just about anything to smear someone but do it to them and they act like a crime has been committed. I honestly can't wait for the day that Rush, the fat bastard, is dead.

You have to ask yourself, why the government doesn't already have ENOUGH money, to terrorize the world and destroy the American people's liberties and economy. I'm pretty sure they don't need any more tax money to ruin our lives.

Unbelievable how you lemmings fall for this class warfare scam from the Republicans and Democrats.

How ever much the individual deems.

It is not your choice to state how much someone can or should earn or have.

edit to add - Signals - that I jumped in before that I saw several people take you to task for this - and more thoroughly than I did - so, I'll rearrange a bit:

Why is this so often the argument thrown back at people in this sort of situation - Ed Asner has money - so he's a hypocrite?

There's nothing wrong with being wealthy. There is something wrong with being dishonest - especially criminally dishonest

I wonder if Ed pays his taxes...

What do you think?

What kind of man is Ed Asner?

:-)

Pretty much spot on I'd say.


I was just trying to find "Poor us: An Animated History of Poverty" which was shown globally a few weeks ago.
It was an absolutely fascinating and amazing documentary and really shows how poverty is still allowed to happen and how all the wealth is funnelled out of poor countries and from the poor and working class everywhere and to the rich.

Here's a Trailer

So you hate people based on them having more posessions than you?

Then you weren't looking at the proper sources. Tons of lies about Occupy came out of the Right, the sad thing is that simple searches PROVE them to be just that, lies. Why would there be anti-Bush signs at Occupy? It didn't exist til Obama's 3rd year in office. If you want to have a serious discussion on Occupy PM me. Oh, we don't like moveon either.

you are more correct than you realise my friend,


the facts speak for themselves,
the rich are not paying their way,

its very simple maths



for every 1$ spent on infrastructure projets 2$ is created in the real world were people live.

everything else resembles bluster to sway opinion.

if trickle down economics works explain the recession?

why is there trillions of us earnings in "tax havens" that are ligitamite "tax avoidance" and instead of illegal "tax evation"

can we set up a banking websight in the caman islands to achive the same thing for the 99% and then nobody would be paying taxes and it would be fair. i cant help but think everyone should pay their FAIR share.

I saw plenty of anti-Bush signs at OWS DC and Philidelphia. A lot of typical anti-capitalism, and pro socialism signs too.

I thought the left was the side of "tolerance" and "diversity." I guess free speech is not a thing that the left likes, apparently.

Seems kinda silly to have anti signs for an ex President. What did they say?

BUsh=hitler. Bush lied people died. War criminal. Typical stuff. I saw a lot of anarchists and a lot of Marxists. A lot of Che t-shirts. A lot of anti-Jewish stuff. Some PETA stuff. Legalize pot was a big theme, but as a libertarian, I'm for that anyway. A lot of hate for people who make more than others, to the point of being scary violent and a tad bit irrational. A lot of blaming everything on everyone else but not a whole lot of individual responsability. A lot of "someone has to pay for my degree" type stuff. A Hell of a lot of littering. Of course this was when the crowds were much bigger. A lot of signs about Gates and Buffett, nothing about Soros. One about "school of the Americas" which is almost as old school protest as the Vietnam war. A lot of asking for governmental intervention and control, which I thought rather ironic.

Less anti, more history.

I saw a lot of anarchists

So? You're a libertarian and take issue with Anarchy? lol

and a lot of Marxists.

What do Marxists look like?

A lot of Che t-shirts

Oh noes not Che.

A lot of anti-Jewish

Highly, highly doubt it.

A lot of hate for people who make more than others, to the point of being scary violent and a tad bit irrational.

Yeah. Sure.

A lot of signs about Gates and Buffett,

Maybe.

nothing about Soros.

Again, why should there have been?

more taxes=bigger government that video is stupid

I can only tell you what I observed. If you wish to call me a liar, that is your perogative. Considering how active Soros was in the Obama campaign, I think his absence rather telling but, as I posted above he was a financial supporter of OWS, so this is not surprising.

Libertarianism does not equal anarchy. A tenant of
Libertarianism is respect for the property and pocket books
Of others. Libertarians believe people should be unmolested, anarchists want to tear everything down.

One can tell a Marxist by the signs they hold. Clues include phrases like "socialist worker's party."

Che shirts are almost a uniform amongst the university left. Lawyers have ties, doctors have white coats, and lefty undergrads have Che shirts.

Jewish banker charactures abound. You'd think they'd come up with something original.

The whole thing was an Orwellian 5 minutes of hate agsinst the evil 1%. Remind me to tell my orthodontist just how evil he is.

I don't know if it's so much that you're lying as much as it is that you have so little and very incorrect understanding of anything 'left'.
