1. The sarcasm was sorta wrong headed,.
He makes some great points about how BankOFAmerica and corporations in general operate,. however the sarcasm was a bad move, as he has the crowd cheering and saying yes to some stupid stuff. Would it not be better and more positive to get people to say what they are for and clearly what they are against?

3. good points
can't say i'm a fan of the sarcasm style either but I do think that the idea of asking corporate America to 'pay their fair share' is one that could appeal to a wide spectrum, including tea baggers...did you see the guy speaking in Tennessee? I think he won the tea baggers over...and any group that Glen Beck hates after only 2 weeks of organizing,has to be doing something right.

2. Worth viewing.
As for the end, while responses were weak (do we want to be underhanded, greedy, untouchable, uncivilized thugs like BOA?), it stayed in the original theme of the piece. He had a good thesis. Thanks to the person documenting this.
