This is the equivalent of me making a list of demands and proposing to speak for all of City-Data.

Also in the same link they show: "Far from exposing an unseen side of the “Occupy Wall Street’ demonstration, the unaired interview exposes a new side of reporter Griff Jenkins, who just two years ago was quite literally cheerleading protesters as he traveled cross-country with the Koch brothers-funded “Tea Party Express.”.. Where is the tea party now?

Great to see this. It is becoming more evident by the day that the Right have been nothing more than THE problem. They lose every argument, don't have a record to promote, and the results of their influence show that they hurt the country mightily.

Great to be among the most enlightened, and so glad to finally see the Right get slammed nationwide for their inferior nonsense.

I think she was roundly cheered for that one and then it turns out that the Simmons rebel is worth over $340 million dollars. I wonder how much Roseanne is worth.

Who is going to do this uniting? A bunch of 20 something people looking just like their teachers did in the 60s or members of the Tea Party. Of course, there are those who think those two groups should unite in these demonstrations. Yep, one group wants to destroy the US government and the other just wants to clean it up.
ROSEANNE BARR?
She has no place in any logical, rational discussion of just about anything!
She is nothing but a brain-damaged big mouth who appealed to some base instincts and made lots of money doing it. I think you lose credibility by either agreeing with her or criticizing her, and certainly by using her statements to make a point - ANY point!

Apparently it wasn't clear why there were protests for the media to report.

Oh wait, we did that.

Still, the main points most people can support is getting rid of the criminals on Wall Street and in the Government, and separation of Big Business and Wall Street from the government.

Letting Big Business, Wall Street and Government unite as they are now is Communism for them, but not for everyone else. That is what happens in Communist Countries, everyone at the top that dictate to the masses lives the highlife while the other 99% suffer.

The protests should not be hijacked by the communists, just as the Tea Party should not have been hijacked by the Wall Street Banks and Mega Corps.

Keep the main message going so our voice is louder to end the corruption and get rid of the criminals.
Yes they need to keep a laser focus on corporatism. The desire to end crony capitalism and stop bailing out Wall St has broad appeal and cuts across the entire political spectrum, it's a winner. Though I agree with a few of those "demands" this isn't the time to debate those. The most pressing matter in this entire nation isn't healthcare, the war, the debt, etc., it's the separation of business and state. Until we get the money out of politics we can never begin to discuss those other issues. There will never be a real debate on the issues until we end the reign of corporatism in this nation.

Nope, out of the hundreds of interviews FOX do they pick out the top half dozen dumbest and
continuously air them over and over. There will be more like this one showing up though!

It's the "demands" of ONE person! One single person! Give me a break, I'm sure the, quite sure, the Tea Party attracted more than one "loon." Why should I stop with the "corporate media stuff?" When it ceases to be true I'll readjust accordingly. But no, by all means keep burying your head in the sand and pretending that the mainstream media isn't owned by giant corporations and passing out (weak) insults that only make you sound intellectually inept.
