Former "Saturday Night Live" actress, conservative columnist and avowed enemy of both "Glee" and gay people, Victoria Jackson took a video camera to the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, predictably trying to inflame the supporters camped out in Zuccotti Park.

She dove right into her particular brand of hateful commentary early, pointing out Ground Zero from her car window and saying "some Muslims flew in to" the Twin Towers.

Once Jackson got down to the protests, she began interviewing both the protesters and those that happened to be passing by. She began by asking what they were protesting, then seizing on their responses. She often brought up President Obama's connection to GE, calling him a Marxist and socialist.

p.s. First of all I will preface this with: "I am a democratic female."
I do not understand why there are so many NUTTY/DINGY FEMALES in the Republican Party!
Victoria Jackson, Sarah Palin (AK), Michele Bachmann (MN), Orly Taitz (CA), Sue Lowden (NV), Virginia Foxx (NC), Jan Brewer (AZ), Sharron Angle (NV), Debbie Riddle (TX), Nikki Haley (SC), Christine O'donnell (DE), Ann Coulter, etc.

You're expecting to find cultured, intelligent, rational females in the Republican party? :shrug:

3. Holy Christ is Victoria the poster child for everything conservative. Dumb, misinformed, and
Completely BRAINWASHED. This lady is about as looney as someone could get before being admitted to a mental hospital. She's like an adult trapped in a 4yr old's mind. I can't believe she even let this video out being it makes her look batshit INSANE. The first person she interviews smacks her down completely by being incredibly SANE. The contrast between the sane guy and her insanity is frightening to a point that I'm worried about her mental health.

4. She sounds insane in all the videos I've seen of her over the past few years.
I remember an online discussion a year or so ago where folks were wondering if it was 'just an act' - but it is NOT, she really believes all the nutty things she says!

20. All this time I thought it was an act
It's a very uncomfortable and a bit sad of a feeling when you realize her "dumb blond" routine isn't a routine :-(

5. G-d help us. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard and she's
dumber than a box of rocks! I cannot believe I use to like that woman. What the HELL happened to her?

6. I LOVE this!
Is it just me, or does she excel at making her own arguments sound asinine, made up, and insane, while showcasing two rational, well-informed individuals who represent, and can explain in simple terms that even she should be able to grasp, the valid reasons for OWS?

Thank you, Victoria, you are the gift that keeps on giving!

Hey, guy from University of Md, well done! You make me proud of my school.

And Van Jones--- keep pissing them off!

35. Not just you, no
I got the same vibe. This is the clearest, most direct presentation of OWS that we've had so far. (And I love that: these demonstrators are not packaging a message, they are protesting a systemic failure. I am very glad they are ensuring nobody hijacks this movement by defusing hierarchy.) But this is an entirely sincere, entirely organic presentation which is insanely, unbelievably concise and clear.

Fox news won't touch this: it makes too obvious that these demonstrators are not angry or violent. They are calm, and they are determined. I loved the response to the question 'Were you inspired by the Arab Spring?', which was, iirc, "hell yeah!" ;-)

I'm looking forward to hearing what it is that Van Jones said that the right wing is twisting into "encouraging violence." If I could only love one black male Democrat, I wouldn't be able to choose between him and President Obama.

She's trying out for a role of a has-been bleach blob with tits and no brains.

9. My GOD . . . I'm 30 seconds into this and Christ, it's BRUTAL.
Her voice, her rhetoric, her hamster-wheel brain . . . PLEASE tell me this is the longest running performance art ever. PLEASE tell me this. This woman CANNOT be THIS destructively stupid. This is the kind of stupid that can shatter glass. This is the kind of stupid so powerful, it can cause faultlines to crack.

18. Hugh, I keep thinking that, too
Is Jackson working on an Academy Award performance for best actress? It almost seems like she's acting. But is she? Really, how stupid can you get?

11. She provided a platform for some eloquent people to state their case.
She's foolish to think she's harming the OWS cause.

14. Sorta strange that she uploaded Part 1 of the video three days ago and not Part 2 yet ...

here's her page: http://www.youtube.com/user/vickigoes2washington

I'll check back in a day or two

p.s. She did a great job of making the protesters look like THEY are the ones with the brains and not her :)

26. YES, and that's why this video needs to go viral...
OWS should use this video and Victoria Jackson to demonstrate what "the other side" is all about.

I've had conversations with people like this. It's rare you get a live specimen who will actually have
a fair discussion. Usually, it's the radio charlatans who are in charge of the conversation and the microphone--who
goad people into circular arguments.

Here we have a REAL example of the kind of person who listens to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc--and laps
up this stuff. In reality, they're not that smart and when faced with real, rational discussion--their talking points go
up in flames--and sound ridiculous.

OMG----Anyone who loves OWS and wants the world to know what hard-right neocons stand for---this is the video to
disseminate. Far and wide, in my opinion.

This is a gift.

Chances that a random person Occupying Wall Street is smarter and more well informed than the best and the brightest at Fox News? 100% HTH

33. SNL
She's an ex-cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL).
She was on the show from 1986 to 1992.

22. If Victoria Jackson had any brains she would have destroyed this video.
Instead she puts a video up that shows her total ignorance, her racism, her lack of true Christianity for all the world to see?

What an idiot!

Kudos to the well-informed and articulate guy who endured her god awful screeching to do this interview. His patience in light of her stupidity was amazing.

I would have been screaming, "Victoria, you dumb ass, Obama can't be both a Marxist and GE's best friend!"

25. We need more Victoria Jackson!! I'm blown away!!
Seriously. This woman just got stomped by a couple of very articulate OWS protesters that she
randomly selected to interview.

OMG...the protester who did the majority of the speaking was articulate, sweet, intelligent and he
made such salient points--to which she had no retort. Plus, he was kind and patient.

THIS video, my friends--should be spread far and wide. I hope she continues to represent conservatives
everywhere--because her videos represent and shine the spotlight the lunacy and hypocrisy of neoconservatives.

This should be spread far and wide.

So proud of the protester who did most of the speaking. He was amazing!
