"...Kathy Bates speaking from the heart.Who is the bank,who is behind all this..?


.

[Scuba]

1. Atta girl, Kathy!

[INdemo]

2. We all know someone or many on Wall St should be in prison for the

trillion dollar heist.But as long as Geithner keeps protecting these criminals(I cleaned it up) he is just a guilty as they are.
We Could start with the CEO of Goldman,then AIG execs.
The Lehman Bros default was just a decoy to get the attention off of others..

[Stellar]

3. What is the President, a dog?

He's got hind legs?

[tavalon]

5. Silly

We all have hind legs - granted, we just call them legs but that's just because we want to pretend we are different from "animals" when we are not.

[nilram]

13. Primates

have arms and legs, not front and hind legs.

[truth2power]

16. nitpicking. I've heard that term all my life. It's about not being subservient,

being assertive etc. There's no hidden meaning there.

[tavalon]

18. That's exactly what I was thinking

Nit picking.

[xxqqqzme]

20. It is about not cowering in the corner,

rolled up in a fetal position, quaking and scared.


It is about standing up and roaring!

[Divine Discontent]

21. I knew someone would say she was calling him a dog. It's an old term, I've heard it before.

It is nitpicking. He needs to stop catering to the wealthy and stand up against them, that is the point here, not some game of damned semantics, there are some people dying in the cold every day in America, and millions going to bed hungry, and thousands with no bed at all!



Get it here now, or one of a million other designs! http://www.zazzle.com/republicans_2012_keeping_millions_out_of_work_bumper_sticker-128659602907896843?rf=238107662556833486eping_millions_out_of_work_bumper_sticker-128659602907896843?rf=238107662556833486

[Enthusiast]

12. Clearly it was not meant

with those sentiments in mind. She was repeating what her father said. What is your motive?

[MrMickeysMom]

15. He has... and a spine...

... but, alas..... he caves into Wall Street

So, what the fuck good is any of that?

[Autumn]

4. That was an excellent interview

She id a great job.

[ananda]

6. She's so great in Harry's Law too!

A lawyer with a heart... to match her own real one.

[seacaves]

7. Every time I see her I recall that movie

where she hid the author in her home --breaking his legs at one point to keep him there. She gives me the willies every time I see her pic.


But good for her for saying this.

[SidDithers]

9. In Stephen King's book, she cuts off his foot...

and then his thumb.

One of his scarier stories :)

Sid

[Politicalboi]

29. I'm her number one fan

Cock-a-Dootie. The movie was Misery.

[jberryhill]

8. Or she'll hit him with a rolled up newspaper?

[nilram]

39. and make him sleep in the garage, I guess.

[certainot]

10. a lot of americans are saying that but his supporter as whole are not getting his back

good on her, but for 20 years the talk radio gods, on que from the think tanks, have been taking free potshots at our candidates and causes, and lying us into wars, obstructing everything progressive.

and there still is NO organized opposition to the right's best weapon.

[certainot]

11. and PS, when limbaugh gets a few thousand dittohead teabaggers to threaten bates, will the left

even know he called for it- all he has to do is mention her a few times- always works.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

14. "And it's like Steinbeck said in Grapes of Wrath...

...Who's the bank?

When everybody was losing everything, who's behind all this?

Who's REALLY running the country?

Who's REALLY pulling the strings?"

------------------------------

Wow. She's certainly asking all the right questions.

[defendandprotect]

30. Wall St./Goldman Saks/Citibank running our government -- Wow ... what a surprise -- !!! ROFL

[DeSwiss]

17. Agreed Kathy.

However, unless and until we repeal the current corrupt election system, they'll just buy themselves another one. The problem is systemic. Capitalism is CANCER. You can't make it pretty with lipstick. You can't make it smell better with perfume. It is a deadly rotten disease through and through and will kill people in order to survive in the end.

- When we come to truly understand this, then "fighting the rat bastards" might actually work.......

[Jakes Progress]

19. K&R It's what all decent people are thinking.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

22. She's normally fairly quiet in interviews. I see why now. She is not superficial in the least.

[snot]

23. I still harbor hope he'll have his "Lincoln moment."

[Guilded Lilly]

24. In Primary Colors, Kathy Bates' character still makes me cry

every single time I see it. I know characters are separate from the real actors portraying them but since that movie, I have held Kathy Bates in extremely high esteem. She is totally *kick ass*

For those who haven't seen it...you must. I won't give away any spoilers. She was amazing.

And it is great to see the really wonderful term Rat Bastard resurrected! It is spot ON.

[Charronxyz]

25. Obama has sourrounded himself with Rat Bastards...

...and now he is supposed to fight them! people are in denial. Obama is a politician who said what he had to say to get elected, but like nearly all politicians he serves the 1%, the "change" thing was for suckers, end of story, get over it, learn from it and lets move on.

[davidwparker]

26. What was learned? The candidate who wins the Iowa

caucus will not get my primary vote. Period.

[lib2DaBone]

27. Obama will never stand up and fight.. never support his base...

After 3 years... no chance that he'll start now.. or anytime in the future.

Why Should he?

People will support him no matter what his record. Because the voters have no choice.
That being said.. is he better than Herman Cain of Michele Bachman?

I guess so.

[defendandprotect]

31. True -- and it's the policy of the THIRD WAY which runs the Dem Party now to "ignore the base" and

that populism and populist discussion/debates are "the equivalent of Karl Rove

propaganda of extremism" -- !!! *


So we've had more than 20 years of Koch Bros. funded DLC influencing the party and

its candidates and agenda -- and now we have their Third Way pulling it even further

to the right!!


Are they kidding -- do they really think that liberals will support/$$$$$$$$$ this?




Some info on the Third Way --

http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/07/third-way-document-proves-democratic-party-supports-institutionalized-looting-by-banks.html

And make no mistake about the role of Third Way. Third Way runs the policy apparatus of the Democratic Party. In Congress, staffers attend regular Third Way policy briefings, where the group hands out pre-packaged legislative amendments in legal form, generic press releases, polling around those policy ideas, and talking points. It’s a soup-to-nuts policy apparatus. Most of these ideas are harmless – like increased volunteerism – but some are not, like various tax proposals.

The group has enormous juice. On the Congressional side, it has six honorary Senate co-Chairs, and seven House-side co-Chairs. Jim Clyburn, a co-Chair, is in the House Democratic leadership. Two current cabinet members are former co-Chairs. Steny Hoyer, the House minority whip, held regular briefings for the freshmen member staff in the last Congress.

On the administration side, former Third Way board member Bill Daley is now White House chief of staff. Ron Klain, who was Biden’s Chief of Staff, is now with Third Way. The White House is pretty much full of Third Way-style apparatchiks.

Third Way also echoes, nearly entirely, the White House’s political line (though it is slightly ahead on gay rights). Here’s Third Way praising the Gang of 6 talks, opposing cut, cap, and balance, encouraging entitlement cuts, pushing various free trade agreements

* That was according to Jonathan Cowan, Pres. Third Way in his appearance two weeks or

so ago on C-span/Washington Journal

[UnrepentantLiberal]

28. Right on!

[burrowowl]

32. You go Kathy!

She's goos in Harry's Law too!

[orbitalman]

33. K & R

[Cali_Democrat]

34. She speaks from her heart

Very powerful!

[Skittles]

35. PREACH IT, SISTER

*AMEN*

[GreenTea]

36. Rat Bastards love it must listen to the great Mike Malloy show he knows what fucking republicans are

http://www.mikemalloy.com/

[Roci]

37. So would I, but there appears to be..

one salient problem. I simply no longer believe the Barack Obama can "get up on his hind legs".. To stand on hind legs, one needs a spine, you see...

[AsahinaKimi]

38. Love it..thank you Kathy Bates!

Rat Bastards indeed! ^^
