Viral Video: Perry's Cornerstone Speech Highlights As He Goes Off Script Badly |
| Also See: Rachel Maddow: Rick Perry’s Weekend Speech Was ’25 Minutes Of Dean Screams’ That Will End His Campaign: Rachel Maddow: Rick Perry’s Weekend Speech Was ’25 Minutes Of Dean Screams’ That Will End His Campaign video by Frances Martel | 10:33 pm, October 31st, 2011 » 75 comments Rachel Maddow does not think the sexual harassment charges against Herman Cain are the most devastating development to a candidate from this weekend. In fact, she thinks his campaign might survive. But what won’t see the light of day for much longer, Maddow concludes, is the Rick Perry effort, after a 25-minute speech of bizarre, excited, slurred, and manic display at a Cornerstone event in New Hampshire this weekend. RELATED: Joe Scarborough Sees Rick Perry Speech And Thinks ‘Valium, Vicodin and Vodka’ “There is not an empirical means by which I can explain why this footage may be the end of Rick Perry’s campaign this year,” Maddow prefaced, but noted that the speech “does not count as a gaffe,” and added a caveat that there may be “some sort of physical explanation” for his behavior, or a medical problem with which he could explain away why he was behaving strangely. Then she played the tape of Perry’s exaggerated gestures, of his whispering “awesome!” at a bottle of maple syrup (Maddow also had a bottle of maple syrup with her, which she held onto a bit before apologizing for being “unprofessional”). “It’s sort of like the ‘Dean Scream’ moment,” she recalled, playing that now-famous clip that sunk the Howard Dean campaign. But “it’s not one out-of-context segment, this is 25 minutes… and every one of these moments was a Dean scream.” RELATED: Watch: Rick Perry Goes Off-The-Cuff During Unconventional Cornerstone Speech For historical context, Maddow looked for another example of a weird quote that sunk a campaign, and found the 1968 effort of George Romney, father of Mitt, who argued that the only reason he ever supported the Vietnam war was “because he had been ‘brainwashed,’” and thus ceded the primary to Richard Nixon. Similarly, Perry had destroyed his image, Maddow argued, that went from “Rick Perry posing for Mt. Rushmore” to “Rick Perry cuddling with syrup.” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rachel-maddow-rick-perrys-weekend-speech-was-25-minutes-of-dean-screams-that-will-end-his-campaign/ |

WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Loses Appeal To Stop His Extradition to Sweden -Interview with Assange`s lawyer |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Nov 2, 2011 www.democracynow.org - London's High Court has ruled Julian Assange, WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief, should be extradited from the United Kingdom to Sweden to face questioning over alleged sex crimes. Swedish authorities want to question Assange over accusations of rape and sexual assault made by two women. Assange's lawyers have argued the Swedish demand is legally flawed and that the sex was consensual. They are also concerned that the U.S. government will pressure Sweden to extradite him to the United States where an ongoing investigation is underway about the source(s) who leaked classified U.S. diplomatic cables and Department of Defense files to WikiLeaks. They are now considering an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and the European Court of Human Rights. For more, we speak with Helena Kennedy, an attorney on Assange's legal team We also air a statement made by Julian Assange made this morning in London. |

Young Homeless Man Who Died at Occupy OKC - the Street Poet |
| Uploaded by morgenr on Oct 31, 2011 Recorded at Occupy Oklahoma City - date unknown. Source: http://oklahomacitizen.org/2011/10/occupy-okc-saddened-by-loss-of-participant/ Via The Raw Story:One protester dead in Oklahoma City, nine arrested in Portland By David Edwards Tuesday, November 1, 2011 Print ? Street Poet at Occupy Oklahoma City Topics: kerr park ? oklahoma city police ? street poet In what was an otherwise calm night across the country, one Occupy Oklahoma City protester was found dead and nine Occupy Portland protesters were arrested. In a press advisory Monday, Occupy Oklahoma City organizers expressed their sadness at the passing of a homeless protester who went by the name “Street Poet.” “The Poet was found dead in his tent at Kerr Park earlier this afternoon by other participants,” they wrote. “Police and emergency personnel were immediately contacted. Occupy OKC is withholding information concerning The Poet’s identity pending notification of his family by authorities.” Oklahoma City police Capt. Dexter Nelson said that although the man appeared to be in his 20s, the death was not suspicious. In a video posted to Facebook, Street Poet explained that he had been “traveling the road on foot doing poetry” since his dad kicked him out at the age of 16 or 17. Another video posted to Google Plus shows the man performing poetry. “I’ll tell you right now, unless you crawl under that bridge and huddle up against the wall, take off them busted-ass shoes then you don’t know what I’ve been through or where I’ve been,” he said. “Knowing tomorrow, I’ll be in the same place again, drying my tears in the wind. You save me from my pain, but you don’t even know what pain is.” Early Tuesday morning, police cleared an encampment of Occupy Portland protesters from Terry Schrunk Plaza. Nine protesters who refused to leave will face federal charges. Officers with helmets and nightsticks surrounded the plaza to make sure protesters didn’t return as the camp was dismantled. Protesters shouted “The whole world is watching” and “”The tents will go back” as they looked on. “It definitely got a little tense, maybe heated,” Portland police spokesman Lt. Robert King told The Oregonian. Other protest sites around the country were largely quiet. The roommate of Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, who was wounded during clashes with police in Oakland, said the former Marine “seems to be doing well” after a hospital visit yesterday. Keith Shannon told The Associated Press that Olsen still can’t speak but doctors expected him to make a full recovery. He is still suffering from a fractured skull caused by a police projectile. Occupy Wall Street protester Felix Rivera-Pitre, who was videotaped being hit by New York Police Deputy Inspector Johnny Cardona, met with the District Attorney yesterday in hopes that assault charges will be filed. “Had it been any regular white guy, instead of any angry white shirt, had committed that attack, that person at best would be able to plead out to assault,” attorney Ron Kuby said after meeting with the DA. “Three years’ probation and some serious court-ordered anger manager.” Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings is still refusing to push law enforcement to arrest peaceful protesters camped out across from City Hall. “If people don’t like it, they can vote me out,” Jennings said on his Talk 1300 radio show. “That’s the way it goes.” |
