4. Love her! She really ripped a strip of the tax payer alliance rep when he said that if the
protesters would only get jobs, it would start the economy going again. standing :applause: :applause: :applause:

She summed it all up in a nutshell and served it to pouty rich brat with a side of elegantly righteous indignation.

10. Hilarious
I love how he makes sweeping generalizations against the protesters, accusing them of making sweeping generalizations such as them being "against capitalism" and says they should be getting a job. Talk about clueless.

Here in the US, there are 4 people for every 1 job opening. People CAN'T all get jobs because the "job creators" spend too much time swimming in their Scrooge McDuck money vault swimming pools and can't create any jobs.

16. She would be blacklisted by American cable news
Just like Cenk, Spitzer, Michael Moore and anyone else who lays it down concisely.

At 4:57 he back tracks and contradicts himself. Having spent his first volleys declaring that the protest are "anti-capitalist" he gets cornered by her and then talks about a need for specific reform. he changes his criticism to 'the protests need to be more specific' and 'capitalism needs reforming.'
