the guy at OWS who could slap down Fox so beautifully. When I found out who he was, I was not surprised though.

Did you see where in that video, he mentioned that he was probably the first and most likely the last working class person who would appear on that type of show? He is so completely honest, they do not know how to relate to him. And he was so good at honestly without hesitation, answering Wills' questions.

I would like to meet him too and I think he should run for Congress, but then I think he can do more good outside the system. Seems when they get to DC no matter how good they are, they are basically marginalized if they really want to work for the people.

I'm disappointed in Amanpour, who I met btw and found her to be very real and down to earth, for not making him as regular a guest on her show as the rest of the boring pundits who do get regular spots.
