And On May Day, Bash In Workers Heads

Here was the white guys tax protest day. The guy on unemployment who lost the 401k, lost his retirement, lost his job and can't see that the people responsible for this are still in their cushy offices and on their yachts in Florida and exiting Nieman Marcus with Hermes gear in unmarked bags. Now come May 1, the day the not quite so white protestors come out to shout out about the substandard wages, lack of healthcare, lack of opportunity to organize and form a union-items imposed by Alan Greenspan and his ilk- these people will be greeted by police in riot gear ready to bash in their heads. Fox will only show the worst moments, call them troublemakers, and make some reference to Dems and Obama.

We're being Duped and Smokescreened again America!

Old White Geezers in Red White Blue Sweaters

being politely told to stay within the protest area so Fox News can get them in the shot. In 16 days on May 1st, these same police, members of THE most powerful UNION in California, will defend corporate America by bashing the heads of people who are trying to organize their own unions. The difference is of course that the May 1st organizers will be mainly brown skinned. Hispanics, Filipinos, Asians dressed in pro union t-shirts, carrying signs protesting unfair policy will be bullied and bashed and treated as terrorists because they want to organize themselves, just like the police. And good old Bill O'Reilly and Laura wil be right there calling them unpatriotic Americans undermining the fabric of our flag.....

Where were these Bozos for the G8 Protest??????

These bozos should have been out there burning banks and protesting the G8 summit. Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve, the IMF and the banks were behind this fiasco, that and the BUSH administration and their never ending WAR.... The very Rich still rule the roost and are calling the shots. These same bozos were out there kissing Bush's ass and doing everything they could to promote his agenda. They wanted Sarah Palin for their president! Americans have become blithering idiots with no sense of history and without the sense their God supposedly gave them. We are getting just what the very rich have paid for.

Idiots

These idiots should have been in front of the big banks and brokerage houses screaming at them! The greedy banks and Wall Street were the ones touting themselves as too big to fail. Very rich people screaming poverty. These idiots are right in one sense- the rich and the banks have been trying to destroy the middle class-- since 1932 and the first depression. People like Prescott Bush tried to overthrow the government so FDR couldn't help the middle class by raising taxes on the rich. Wake the fuck up stupid White America. Your own kind are robbing you blind from their country clubs and yachts while broadcasting the events live as your family has to give up the fundamental necessities like Caller ID!

Fox Is Wet

Rupert Murdoch certainly enjoyed his day of teabagging. He made tons of money from his advertisers. It is a dangerous thing for sure. He's playing a dangerous game with society and his viewers are too stupid to see they are being duped and lied to by their precious news gods.

I can guarantee that Fox News will have every anti-union, anti-hispanic hate monger up there calling American citizens terrorists and gang members when they broadcast their 2 minutes of May Day protests in a couple weeks. O'Reilly will devote a whole show with images of hispanics in pro union t-shirts being beaten by the riot gear clad armies of police. Fox will somehow manage to tie all this in to the drug war in Mexico, border security and the terrorist threat the people washing your dishes and emptying the trash in your office buildings pose to the nation's security. How dare they ask for a living wage and the right to organize?!?!

Hypocrite

She suddenly becomes concerned when SHE's being invaded. I'm sure the Repugs were listening so they could get dirt on her and finally get her unseated.

I hope she shrieks and bitches and moans and deafens everyone in Congress over this. We need to find out what kind of damage the Bush Administration and the Repugs in Congress did before any statue of limitations is hit on some of these crimes.

We need real accountability for our government. Maybe now that this bitch has been hit, she'll be more inclined to vote for some.

Can't we do better?

Well we already have Scum of the Earth Arnold- the Governator who is incapable of governing.

Geez, isn't there any decent individual out there who can run?

'Mrs. Feinstein and Mr. Blum' as they were referred to after the report of his receiving a nice cool 25BILLION in TARP money are thinking of robbing the State of California blind- I mean Dianne Feinstein is thinking of running for Governor. I hope she is finally exposed for the greedy war profiteer she is via her husband.

Compared to those goons, Newsom isn't so bad, is he? I wish we had another Jerry Brown (in his youth) who scares the hell out of the wealthy in this state. The middle class is drowning- unaffordable housing, crumbling infrastructure, no mass transit that relieves congestion. The very rich won't allow children get decent healthcare let alone fund a decent education system! We're only going to be given the choice of pondscum versus raw sewage. Fox News and the media will be covering us with raw sewage in order to elect the man who will keep the wealth for a few while the rest of us struggle. So now it will be another anti prop 8 or some anti hispanic bill to get out the 'conservative' vote to put some putz in power. Screw them all.
