Thank goodness New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg deeply understands the meaning of free speech and what it does and doesn’t look like, or else his forced decampment of Occupy Wall Street’s Zuccotti Park HQ would look like a completely overstated and egregious abuse of political power. Also, as Stephen Colbert points out in this “Colbert Report” clip from Tuesday’s show, at least one guy in Berkeley knows how threatening the protesters’ practice of linking arms actually is.  —KA

The OWS definately needs a singular voice to help
get it’s messages across, but I don’t think
Bloomberg is the right man for the job. He’s part
of the 1% and couldn’t possibly pretend to know
what the rest of us are going through. Just my
opinion.

Bloomberg is a despicable zionist twat.

He would more use his largesse to create work in Israel than provide employment in the U.S.

I hope the electorate show him the door next election and raise his taxes…..alot.
