    • This is the first time I've seen this. I fucking loved it! Anyone who gives half a shit about what is right and wrong and understands what is going on right now should be saying this.

    • I loved this when KO first did it and I still love it now! Great rallying cry. It looks to me the people have listened and this movement will grow!

    • KO in rare form! This is why I love this guy! But, I don't understand why, if we invented money, why we can't develop a working alternative? We invented Wall St and banks, why can't we 're-invent' them?

      I totally agree. Money is a tool. It is merely a concept. It is an human construct. The purpose that this money tool serves currently is to give a tiny minority of the people privileged lives and control over everybody else. It makes this elite minority's lives easier, while it makes it harder for those who struggle to make ends meet. Money serves to make us slaves. It does not serve what I believe to be the function of any civilization -- for people to live and work together for mutual benefit. Surely there is a better way.

    • Actually, Colbert did a damn good job of uncovering the details of how the bank robbers are getting away with the cash when he interviewed Karl Rove on the workings of Super Pacs and the 501 c4. The interview is hilarious, but the facts are disturbing and very lucidly uncover how corporations and billionaires are financing campaigns and elections without being traced back to things their shareholders or the public might object to. Definitely worth watching....nice photo of Karl, isn't it?

      Sometimes you can get lost in the hilarity of his presentation, and not realize, this man is Colbertly peeling back the layers. The 501 c4 is just not something you hear about on the evening news, eh? He is a genius.

    • All you mame-pammi pacifist...oh we can't fight back like they do....to show anger would be (intolerant behavor towards people who only have a different opinion), can kiss my ass.
      You want freedom, you want peace, well..you damn well better start fighting back or learn to march goose-step to the Teabagger Fascist.

      I think it is good to be angry and fight , but not without discipline .... and be very sure to strike the enemy in a productive way . Strategically , with precision . You can waste a lot of energy and defeat your own purpose . Use the anger , but , with self control and calculation to guide it . Other wise we would be as easily manipulated as the tea baggers , who i do not envy ....

      As soon as the movement becomes violent, we lose our cause. Never play a man at his own game. Fear and violence is their game. We can win with knowledge, understanding, and an unbreakable spirit.

    • People of earth you still have time to release yourselves from the mental infraction known as a “wrinkle in time!” Come back to reality and show these jokers that…

      When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

      We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

      That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

      Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

      Now, is the time to stand up and make you voice heard and remind decision-makers that it is their job to represent YOU! If you can boycott or protest... and then boycott, protest until it hurts.

      sorry lady, you are not that damn powerful, and if you are you would use it for good not to threaten the President. So, you will conjure up a better progressive president, rather than conjure help for this president. you will conjure us into a republican Christian idealogue? great. I resent you claiming "to be a witch" obviously you don't know the tenant. DO NO HARM and everything you do will come back to you ten fold.
