Obama made $5 million in his first year of office through capitalism. Book sales.

I would love to see how 'OWS' rationalizes why they support him.

Neo96 it is very clear that you do not understand the issues here. It's OK to be rich. It's OK to be a 1 percenter. What is not OK is the means by which many of these get their riches. Far too many in our times are acquiring wealth by hurting others. It is this hurtfulness that we aim to stop. Now consider that Moore is also a millionaire. OK. How did he become one? By taking advantage of others and hurting them? No. Nothing like that at all.

Now do you understand? If you cannot then you either are grossly inept or just plain stubborn. Moore is not an enemy of the down trodden masses but many big shots are clearly just that.

Simply put, we do not support Obama as we see him as being apart of the problem. We are not an Obama rally, the only group or individual we stand for is the American public and The American people and that is that!

If 'Occupy: America' was not a Democrat rally geared up to re-elect Obama, why has the group accepted the help of Democrat lean establishments. ACORN, unions, etc...

'Occupy: America' is a Democrat leaning social group.

I have mixed feelings about Mr Moore. While I think he serves an invaluable purpose in bringing very relevant social issues to the forefront, issues that the corporate media largely ignore, I do believe he has sort of rode to fortune on the wave of discontent that is sweeping the country and the world right now. Whether or not that ride is out of a sincere idealism or seeing the opportunity to reap millions off the angst of the working class, only Mike knows. There is no doubt though, that his directing has paid off big time.

Ok, I looked it up. Mr Moore is not part of the one percent, he is part of the one tenth of one percent. Michael Moore's Net worth= 50 million.

Who cares, his speaking is in alignment with the 99.

What's your problem? Don't believe in social economic justice?

Obama's been in bed with Wall Street from the get-go, and most people know that.

They don't support Obama, as much as oppose the Republicans who were responsible for removing the controls and regs like Glass-Stiegle which precipitated this whole mess. Cronyism, that's the ugly side of Capitalism.

To those that know the truth I apologize for re-posting this constantly but apparently the message seems to get lost because certain nameless individuals cannot see the truth for themselves!

There is no individual founder. We are not representative by the political beliefs of our partner firms and are in NO WAY, SHAPE, SENSE OR FORM a declaration of political allegiance.

I give not a toss for what you or anyone thinks about this as this is the only thing that matters. If we wanted to be a leftist group we would've aligned ourselves firmly with the Dems but that has yet to occur and will not occur.

WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY BILLIONAIRE AS WELL AS ANY POLITICAL PARTY!

You are not a billionaire or a trillionaire so to the people you are sitting here defending do not give a toss for you, your family, your friends or anyone you know. They see you as collateral damage. They own you and by refusing to join up means you've already surrendered your Constitutional rights to The SCUM! To them you are their slave. More then 150,000,000 Americans stand united with this group and the numbers grow by the hour.

No other movement in recent memory has ever been this large. This movement has totally eclipsed that of The Tea Party, The 9/11 Truth Movement, The Anti 43 Rallies, The Vietnam protests combined. This is the largest protest since the Civil Rights Era. Every single time one of our camps is attacked our numbers grow, every report of police brutality this movement grows. Day or week long campouts have occurred in the past but none had the impact nor reach of this one.

STRONG EMPHASIS UPON THE FOLLOWING AND CANNOT BE EXPRESSED ENOUGH :
Unless it comes from Occupy Together, Occupy Everything, #Occupy Wall Street, NYC General Assembly or any of the countless official "Occupy" family of sites it does not speak for this movement and the movement will not endorse any site outside of our family of sites. Got it? Adbusters does not speak for us, Tides does not speak for us, no union speaks for us, The American Socialist Party does not speak for us, The Communist Party does not speak for us neither does any group you dream up of tomorrow! We speak for ourselves!

I don't suppose you can back that up, now, can you? In the disinfo handbook, that's called deflection.
Try again...maybe with some facts this time.

Next time you are in the market for a used car, give me a call, I won't lie, but I might "creatively edit" my words.

But if you want an outright lie, ok.

He said Canada had the 2nd highest per capita gun ownership in the world.

Of course that's a lie, they are 13th behind such conservative states like France and Norway.

In Sicko he said that all of Europe got free healthcare, 100% coverage. When in fact there are many countries, like France for example, where 20-40% co-pays apply, forcing most of the country to buy private insurance.

I could go on all day but you'd probably just say he didn't ever lie again.


Seriously though, look me up about that car. I have some junkers, excuse me "classics" that were once owned by little old ladies who only drove them to church.

The Pic says otherwise. Some of the protestors say otherwise. My question is this.....When Protesters with an AGENDA come to pay their respects,and preach their political ideology's,do the MAJORITY of OWS tell them to GET OUT,since they do not speak for you? Or does common hatred for the Financial system(BANKERS,CAPITALISM),bring you to one purpose?

Michael Moore has made good money in his lifetime. How he spends it is anyones guess. If he has alot of it left he better keep singing to his choir because if he don't President Barack Obama at a time he's picking winners and losers could take that well fed man broke quck and sure.

The fringe didn't matter in other country's either.Once in Power though,the fringe became the worst thing imaginable.

Check your history.

Where exactly did Moore say that Canada was 2nd highest per capita in gun ownership? (Not to mention what a major major point that is in the scheme of things! IF what you say is true it sure blows his whole argument out of the water now doesn't it?


As for "free" health care - thanks for YOUR perfect example of twisting things around. Do you really think he meant to say that all the healthcare workers in Europe do their jobs without pay? That they do it for free? What he meant is that the United States is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not provide universal health care. Since you seem to like Wikipedia go educate yourself here. Do you think that people in those European countries lose their houses and everything they own because they get sick and can't pay the hospital bills like they do in the US of A? Have you ever lived in a country with Nationalized Health Care? I have lived in several.

Here's the point that Moore was making in his film and that mental deficients think are totally invalidated because a couple insignificant details may be mistaken...

Some people think that certain fundamental, human services - like putting out your house when it's on fire, or catching murderers, or educating our children - are basic requirements of a civilized society and should be provided as a matter of course by the society itself and not run on a for-profit basis. That is why we have government run Fire Departments and Police Departments and schools. All of the other wealthy, developed countries in the world include saving your life if you are dying from cancer or other illnesses in that same category. However NOT in the USA. Over here, people like you like to pay private Insurance Companies hundreds of billions of your hard-earned dollars for doing nothing more than pushing papers around between them and the medical people who actually do the work. You LIKE grabbing your ankles and having them give it to you!!! You ARGUE with people to let them KEEP DOING IT!

Who exactly is the idiot...? Are you really that blind?

This to us as a whole. We will not and do not allow minority groups to speak on behalf of us as this exact stance shuts down the wills of the fringe from being misconscrewed as official stances of this movement!

This is how you control what or who speaks for your group in order to prevent a hijacking by external entities!
