Michael Moore: There aren't enough castles with moats to protect (predatory capitalists)
Just heard on the Hartmann rerun. Mike was on MSNBC this AM discussing the rage building against capitalists. He thinks the revolution is nigh.

1. JUst wondering if any of the teabaggers will get violent when THEIR health is hurt.
And who will they take their anger out on? I can see one of them going into an insurance company and bringing about the need for more healthcare for people.

Wonder if Fuck Nuze will cover that grass-roots protest.

2. The revolution is nigh?
Coming from where, may I ask? I admire Michael Moore's films and think well of the man, but most of the regular people I know are downtrodden and disheartened but nowhere near revolt. Did he elaborate of this revolution theory?

3. As they say, the difference between a recession and a depression is whether YOU have a job.
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 02:51 PM by T Wolf
On this issue, as more Americans get screwed (and killed) by their insurance companies, don't you think it is inevitable for one of the teabag-types to take their anger out on the insurance company that killed their wife or child?

I also do not think that "the revolution is nigh" but, rather, the (misplaced) anger shown at the anti-health reform riots are bound to spill over to the real villains.

Let Monsterous Health Insurance Company deny care that results in enough freepers' dead children and one of them will snap. Granted, they might insanely go after their Democratic Senator. But I also think that eventually, an insurance symbol (building) or salesman or something similar will feel their "righteous anger."

Personally, I can't wait. Both for the message it sends and the reaction of the media.

4. "Personally, you can't wait"?
I am not at all enthused at the prospect of violence, regardless to whom or what that violence is aimed, or to what purpose or outcome.

7. I am with you T
If there was a chane we could get this country back from HateRadio, Fox "News", and Big Media peacefully I ould be all for it. That alternative being seemingly out of reach, the next best is to do it soon.
