Michael Moore wants you to know about some of the great things going on in Michigan, especially when it comes to the state’s students. On his YouTube channel, he’s posted some of the “best” protest videos taken at the Capitol during recent budget protests there. And the stars are the youth.
For example, there’s a video, which Moore dubs “the best,“ of students chanting ”Youth revolution!”
There’s also “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!”
Or how about that great cult classic, “Solidarity forever! The union makes us strong!“ sung to the tune of ”Battle Hymn of the Republic:”
And who can forget the ever-popular “Show me what democracy looks like!”
And finally, a new one: “No cuts, no fees! Education should be free!”

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:29amI wish Michael would buy an island, take his youth and free everything and show us how his Utopia works. Maybe he should be Mayor of Detroit and show us the great Socialist potential Detroit has.
Side note, the banks sold us out? Why did they do that kiddies? Sub prime lending? Instituted by Frank and Dodd, Fannie, Freddie? How about tracing this back to Clinton and all the way back to Carter.
I notice “progressives” always look for the quick fix or the band-aid fix. Why bother understanding a problem when you can just blame an easy target like the Koch bros?

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:26amLooked at the “children” who think they are entitled to something for nothing. I give ‘em 10 years. They will either be disillusioned unemployed or on welfare. As a future employer, I may have taken a look at this stuff especially if the kid I am about to hire is from Wisconsin. Suddenly, a good candidate goes to the bottom of the pile. These young jerks don’t get the message that their actions can have long term consequences.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:26amM Moore concentrates his propaganda on the youth because they are no longer taught to stand for something by their parents. No moral fortitude, no social conscience, no understanding of our political process. If we don’t stand for something, we fall for anything. That lack of foundation for our youth could lead to a collapse of the system the hippies in the ‘60’s were hoping for, ala Fox, Piven, Ayres, etal.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:17amChanting, drumming and anything associated with Michael Moore are poor methods of protesting and are just substitutes for having a message.
I disregard anybody at a protest with a drum qhile stoned out of their mind.
I ignore sign carrying chanters as ignorant special interest hired ideological robots
I tend to respect anybody that has an informed, insightful perspective that may be different than my own as long as they respect my right to have a different and equally insightful perspective
I will however push, shove, punch, pummel, and assault any union thug that decides that their protesting is defined by pushing, shoving, punching or pummeling me while I peacefully demonstrate against them.
Michael Moore somehow seems to have the good sense not to push, shove, punch or pummel his political opponants in person. One look at him will explain why.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:54amTalk about expoitation, students have very little knowledge of the system to which they are partaking in. They were told to be there, told what to say, and told how to say it. I went through this crap in the early 90′s during the war protests and kids were led around like sheep since none of them knew the whole story. You get a select few that took an extra 5 minutes to read a slanted article and then they do what they do best….rebel! All kids think it is cool to snub their nose at authority from time to time as they feel this is their right and evolution to adulthood. Let’s see, protest and be on tv or hang out at Sonic tonight….hmmm, what’s cooler? I can post my coolness on Facebook tonight since I am so informed and “making a difference”.
Moore is grasping at straws to include that douchebag Steven King. Since Moore has no backing from the informed, let’s go ahead and setup the youth to bellow out a message of ignorance. Better yet, make sure that ignorance rhymes while they are wearing their skinny jeans and Lady GaGa sunglasses.
