What an idiotic move by Obama. Michael Moore let this cat out of the bag tonight on Olbermann.

Speaking of which, Olbermann had the most hilarious Special Comment of his career tonight.

First of all, despite making a shitload of money, he leaves MSNBC, why? Because they were not paying him enough!!!

Then he wants to go on the air and talk about how great the OWS crowd is for opposing GREED!!!

What a hypocrite!!

BTW, since he seems to thinks all protests are really good, he must be a big fan of those old Nazi protests when they railed against the Jews!! His viewpoints are moronic!! It's not the protest, it is what you are protesting!! Civil rights in teh 60s. HELL YES!! Wanting others peoples stuff because you are too lazy to try to earn it for yourself. HELL NO!!

Mayors actually talk to each other?  Cites actually consult with national agencies about law enforcement issues?  What will you reveal next, Willy?  Isn't the moon made of green cheese?

Is stripping away first amendment rights of free assembly a "law enforcement issue"? Suppose instead that federal agencies were coordinating to take away another first amendment right such as the freedom of religion? Suppose in city after city law enforcement officials stormed into churches on Sunday and tear gassed the place and beat the church goers with battons and rubber bullets. If you found out that if this was happening in city after city and the federal gov't was coordinating it, then would that not concern you?

All it says is federal agencies were consulted by city administrations.  There is no evidence cited in the article alleging a conspiracy led by the feds to oust the demonstrators.  Find that, if you can. And again, you and I disgree whether OWS protesters' First Amendment rights have been violated.  They are being permitted to march and assemble.  They are not being permitted to occupy and befoul a public park for months without end.  Not exactly like storming churches.  You really need to find an analogy that holds water.

They are just not allowing them to camp out and sleep in the public areas.

They can assemble and peacefully protest all they want as long as they do not camp out, create disorder, and interfere with the businesses and lives of others.

Why the fuck can't you get this through your thick skull????

Mr. Wonka is opposed to federal government forcing it's will on us just because they can.  Obamacare represents the government forcing its will on us because they can.  Mr. Wonka therefore is against Obamacare.  I love logic!!!
