Occupy Oakland: Quan booed off stage; Michael Moore to visit

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore plans to visit Occupy Oakland's re-established tent city today, according to his blog. At the end of an Thursday blog post entitled "Life Among the 1%," Moore writes "P.S. I will go to Oakland tomorrow afternoon to stand with Occupy Oakland against the out-of-control police." Moore is among a growing list of celebrities and organizations critical of the city's actions and Mayor Jean Quan's role in evicting protesters three days ago, when police moved in using tear gas and other devices. Injuries sustained by Iraq veteran Scott Olsen in the melee have sparked criticism from many corners.

Now they really have some stench in the park to complain about!

Hey Mikey, when do the people of Michigan get their million dollars back?

Can we pick it up at your $7 million cabin at exclusive Torch lake or will you bring it to us in person?

“P.S. I will go to Oakland tomorrow afternoon to stand with Occupy Oakland against the out-of-control police.”

That fat opportunist doesn't even understand out-of-control police. If Obama gets re-elected, tubby will be screaming for police protection at one point because there will be law and order in his majesty's realm.

A former Marine and Iraq War veteran, Scott Olsen, was hit in the head with a tear-gas canister and suffered a fractured skull. His condition is improving. Olsen is the first member of the Occupy Wall Street movement sweeping the county to suffer life-threatening injuries in a confrontation with police.

Boy, I feel 40 years younger! The 1960s "anti-war" protest all over again.

I saw an article reporting that Marine veterans (my question remembering the 1960s: Are they really veterans?or even served in the Marine Corps?) are massing to confront the Oakland police for doing that to their "brother."

What's next?

Headline:

Senator John Kerry testifies to Senate subcommittee
"Oakland Police Crimes"
Oakland policemen "cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed encampment in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the camp site. . . ."

Michael Moore is Jughead’s Leni Riefenstahl without the cinematic ability.

[Pecos]

You don’t understand. Mike’s going to meet with those folks to completely distribute all his wealth to them. /s/

[MEGoody]

If anyone needs to be tazed and arrested, it’s Michael Moore.

You know this voluminous tub o’ quivering liberal lard and bile will make a movie about Scott Olsen called something like “The Massacre at 14th and Washington”.

It will get all kinds of awards at the Cannes Festival and never touch on the fact that Olsen probably has a tramp stamp of “Eat the Apple, F@#$ the Corps”.
