Jesse LaGreca on Time Magazine's Choice of the Protester as Their 'Person of the Year'
Occupy Wall Street protester and Daily KOS contributor Jesse LaGreca, otherwise known as MinistryOfTruth, stopped by the set of the Ed Schultz show to discuss Time Magazine's selection of the protester as their "person of the year" that Diane wrote about here.
Naturally this has the right wingers over at Fox terribly upset with everyone from the crew at Fox & Friends, to Megyn Kelly and her guest Chris Plante and Eric Bolling during their show that filled Glenn Beck's former time slot, The Five going on the attack and using the opportunity to call the protesters every name in the book.
It was nice seeing LaGreca have another opportunity to push back against the media narrative we've seen from the likes of Fox and their protection of the richest among us and to weigh in on what he thought the exposure from Time Magazine might mean for the movement and how they've managed to change the narrative in the country for the most part where income disparity is now a part of our national conversation.
Schultz and LaGreca also discussed one of the runners up for Time Magazine's Person of the Year, Rep. Paul Ryan and the fact that policies being promoted from the likes of Ryan are the reason why there are people out protesting in the streets to begin with.
You can read more about LaGreca's recent lobbying effort in Washington DC here -- We lobbied Congress IN PERSON to support Sen. Sanders Constitutional Amendment. This is our story.
... or did it sound like Ed said "Brian Kill-Me" instead of "Brian Killmeade"?
Do the frisky folk at fox understand that the protesters Time is referring to are not just the ones here but those around the world. The picture on the cover, according to the editor of Time, was a compilation of faces of protesters here and around the world.
Why is fox so bent out of shape about the US protesters? I would suggest that just about all of their audience is part of the 99%. Only the owner of their station would make it into the 1%. Okay, now I get it, never mind.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
My guess is that the average IQ score of the Fox viewers is around 55 .
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
None of Fox's "The Five Fetid Stools" show would ever go down and interview the protesters because they know that the crowd would just yell "Fox Lies" at them. So they sit in the studio and bash the protesters. Fox's Five Stools are on the wrong side of history again.
Does Bradley Manning count as a protestor?

Good stuff. Jesse rocks!! His rich brain is an aphrodisiac. Hubba hubba.
(PS it's runners up not runner ups) -- (Edit: Jesse got it, but not Ed.)
From Satan. Over and out. :)

Excellent .
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
It was hilarious , Time's choice sent the manure spreaders at Fox into a panic attack . They're deathly afraid that some of their sheep might catch on and go astray .
