Breakfast in America on Thursday, in Chicago, with WI’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker, after Occupiers had recently been rounded up and mass arrested, with the approval of Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel, for exercising their First Amendment rights.
They made up for that on Thursday…

OMFGAWESOME!
Please come to Seattle Scott Walker. Or the many-headed Rick’s. Or Kasich.
I am so there. This is what democracy looks like.
This video made my month. Thank U Stand Up Chicago for showing us how to do it! Brill.
(Thanks for posting this one, Brad. I’ve watched it over and over again…squeeing the whole time.)
There are some scary polls that show the people are ready for a military solution to the social problems OWS addresses.
The next great social upheaval may be the jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Let’s hope OWS can snap the people out of the ongoing trance so as to resist a military “solution”.
Breakfast in America is much more then an album cover or a morning.
It’s a video!
Invest in bongo futures!
Great video, its priceless to see the faces of the supporters of the 1%! Here’s what one of the very few politicians that has stood consistently with the 99% is doing:

We are the 99%…Go Americans… we will not stop!

your mayor is doing the exact same thing as walker and promotes the same economic terrorism.
In WI, it is led by repugs. In IL, the same terrorism is led by dems.
So what is there to be proud of, fool?
BooBoo @ 13 –
You are allowed to criticize other commenters comments, you are not allowed to personally attack them, as per the few simple Rules for Commenting at The BRAD BLOG.
Please consider this your friendly warning. Further such attacks may be deleted entirely and you may be added to the moderation list in the bargain. Thanks for respecting those rules.
It happens here all the time here and you know it.
Add me to your list if you like, delete what you like.
Even when you post viral videos, you have a dozen comments.
It is FOOLISH to proclaim all is well in Chicago when it is ruled by dems that are doing the exact same thing as walker.
The mic-check video clearly points this out and people here are proud of the city and its faux dems?
Give me a break!

What? Personal attacks on commenters by other commenters? If so, it shouldn’t, and we do our best to police it. But we prefer to keep a fully open commenting system as much as possible, so I’m sure we miss it sometimes.
While I think the original commenter was lauding the people of Occupy Chicago, versus Emanuel and the police actions, the point is you may disagree with commenters are you like. But you are not allowed to attack them personally. You called the commenter a “fool”. You could have, as you just did above, decry their comment as foolish without a problem.
See the difference? Hope so. Thanks!
FUCKIN’ AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait until election 2012!!!!!!!!
Obama is running ‘unopposed’ and he’ll win in a landslide even with all the voter suppression by the right wing nut GOTEA Party!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm. yay. I think. “Fuckin’ Awesome”, however, not so much.
In the way that if I head to choose between Obama and hemorrhoidal itch, I’d go with Obama. And if were the GOP vs. the itch I’d be stocking up on Preparation-H.
Hope that sends a clear picture of my valuation of the current administration, regardless of arguments concerning obstructionist congresses (are they in our fucking way, or are they fucking in our way…I can never tell. Probably both.)
Any keeping a tab on the market price of squandered hope? I’m sure Goldman Shackles is paying a pretty penny (of the taxpayer’s money.)
BTW, I disagree that Obama is running unopposed. I do believe his greatest threat is himself.
Now, where did I put that tube…?
Even Senator Sanders, to the best of my knowledge, has not attended one of the Occupies. As far as I am aware, NO Congressman or Senator has done so. Sanders is the best of a horrible lot, but even with him there is a disconnect with the people.
I say the term “fool” is entirely appropriate for this story. The number of Wisconsin citizens that actually support the devastation of their once proud state by Scott Walker and his dozens of ‘czars’ answerable to only him is just shocking!
The fools are the ones that flocked to the polls this summer to keep 4 State Senators who approved of this mess.
Yesterday Senator Durbin was speaking with protesting seniors and occupiers outside his downtown Chicago location. http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Seniors-Politicians-Rally-Against-Social-Safety-Net-Cuts-133375423.html
Caleb,
I’ll take the hemorrhoid itch over cancer any day!
And, of course Obama is running against himself. Everyone does when running for something. The 2008 Obama will be a little tougher to beat than the GOTEA Bags running against him.
