Michael Moore tweet on OWS - from an AP report on raid coordination

[NRaleighLiberal]

MMFlint Michael Moore
The AP is reporting 2nite that police depts in over 40 cities were on conf calls last wk 2 plan all the #ows raids. What role did feds play?

[kenny blankenship]

1. I'm sure they were just well-wishers

Wishing everybody stays safe and enjoys good hunt- the best of luck.

[woo me with science]

2. It's time to face the truth.

Our government has chosen sides, and it is siding against its own citizens.

[Harmony Blue]

19. Pretty much

Sad but true.

[villager]

25. Well, they sided against their own citizens a long time ago - nothing has "changed" now

n/t

[cyglet]

3. FBI did their usual COINTELPRO monitoring

the more things change

[girl gone mad]

4. This is what a police state looks like.

[cyglet]

5. None of this shocks me anymore

but the UN won't come and help us...

[Exultant Democracy]

6. We do live in interesting times.

I feel weary even posting on this subject in an honest manner. A robust democracy requires a certain degree of trust in order to have a functioning civil society. This type of secret coordinated mass action by a militarized domestic police force is exactly the type of thing which erodes that trust. (not to mention warrant-less wiretaps) A dark day indeed.

8. Michael Moore is the 1%

[WillyT]

9. Oh Please...

:wtf:

[jaxx]

10. $2m house, rich.

[WillyT]

12. Yeah... And If We Are All Paying Attention, This Is Not Solely About The Rich...

this is about the rich people that are buying our politicians, gaming the system, and screwing over the rest of us.

MM does not fit into that category.

Certain Democrats on the other hand...

:shrug:

[jaxx]

14. Nope. If everyone else is the 1% because they have $1m

then so is Moore. He does fit in the category that was pounded into the pavement here by those who despise the rich.

[AntiFascist]

36. How do you explain self-professed members of the 1% who were participating in OWS?

This is not about class warfare, this is about economic justice. Not all wealthy people are criminals, but the criminal element is controlling our political system.

[isuphighyeah]

11. But he's fighting with the 99. n/t

[jaxx]

13. Don't be fooled.

He is telling people not to vote again, like he did in 2000.

[MADem]

15. You might have a point there. NT

[Hissyspit]

21. Nope.

Let Obama earn our votes.

[MADem]

24. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I'd rather have Obama's Supreme Court than Newt's, or Mitt's or any of the GOP field's.

But that's just me.

[Hissyspit]

26. Old tired false argument.

[MADem]

27. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I know the difference between a Sotomayor and a Thomas, thanks anyway.

[Hissyspit]

30. And I do too. Like I said, old tired false argument.

I also recognize bullshit about Michael Moore.

[MADem]

31. And, like 'I' said--that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Others have a different point of view. You'll just have to accept that, because your method of "discussion" is unlikely to change anyone's mind.

[zalinda]

16. Sorry, but Mike is more of a hero than Obama will ever be.

Mike has had his comfortable shoes on for years. He has been making movies to tell people what is going on. He hasn't been sitting on his ass, watching a computer program game the investing system to make his 'millions'. And, by the way, Mike has a lot of people on his payroll, and for most of his movies, they were self financed.

But, go ahead, dump on Mike, won't make me feel any better about Obama.

zalinda

[jaxx]

17. The truth will set you free.

I'm not here to make you feel better about Obama. Refusing to see what is being said by Moore to turn people away from voting hurts everyone, not just Obama.

[Hissyspit]

23. Thank you for your concern.

[Marr]

28. Then why aren't you praising him?

You go out of your way to explain why every 1%er Democratic politician is actually on our side, but not Michael Moore, huh?

How much money do you think Mr. and Mrs. Obama's post-WH home will cost? That doesn't signify anything, I'm sure.

[dana_b]

34. good point!

"You go out of your way to explain why every 1%er Democratic politician is actually on our side, but not Michael Moore, huh?"

Moore puts his whole being into this. Does he make $$? of course but he doesn't have to do the things that he does. He is at OWS all of the time. he's not that good of an actor to fake all that he does. ;)

[frylock]

33. and so is obama

[robinlynne]

18. 40 fucking cities? I just read 18 a minute ago. That is pretty big.

[chill_wind]

20. k & R.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. And it grows

[defendandprotect]

29. Moore on Olbermann tonight ... says Obama's Justice Department involved ...

have been giving "logistical and tactical advice and support" --

"Homeland Security involved -- "

Moore noted that all the tactics of police have been the same --

And that Obama should be asked "WHY?" he has done this -- nation supports OWS!!



Why? Obama is Wall Street -- OWS is anti-Wall Street -- !!

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. knr

[Puzzledtraveller]

35. Not surprised at all

OWS is supported when it's politically convenient, if the winds change, and they have and it becomes politically inconvenient to support or even associate with the movement then they have to be wiped out. They can't have any of this going on when there is an election to win. Afterall, how can Obama win reelection if things are so bad that people are taking to the streets? Don't assume that just because a person has a (D) next to their name means they have your best interest in mind, of course, we all know this. Or, we are getting it now. Just my opinion.
