Joan Walsh: "The new e pluribus unum: We are the 99 percent” (with video)

Joan Walsh (Salon) with video (14:42) from The ED Show:

Wow, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is running a little scared now. Ten days ago, he denounced Occupy Wall Street as a “growing mob.” On Fox News Sunday, he softened his stance, agreeing “there is too much income disparity” and promising to work on getting the top 1 percent to create jobs and opportunity for the rest of us.

In fact, Cantor said Monday that he’s going to deliver his very own speech on income disparity “and how Republicans believe the government could help fix it” on Friday. A spokesman elaborated: Cantor will talk about on how Washington can assist “a single working mom…a small business owner..and how we make sure the people at the top stay there.”

But what about the Democrats? Is it a given they’ll benefit from the organizing of OWS? I don’t think it’s a given, and I don’t think it should be. On MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” I had the honor to follow Van Jones, founder of the Rebuild the American Dream movement, who expressed progressives’ chagrin at being ignored by the Obama team, if not dismissed as “retarded,” over the last three years. OWS is very wary of being co-opted by Democrats, Jones noted, and he suggested a better outcome was for the Democratic Party to be co-opted by OWS. MORE...

"The Last of Wisconsin's Recall Elections" (with video)

Anna Lekas Miller (The Nation) with video (04:44)from MSNBC-ED Show:

After a summer of outside money and fake candidates, Wisconsin's historic recall elections are finally over. Despite the media's coverage of the "failed recall elections," the actual numbers show that Democrats won five seats while Republicans won four...an overall victory for Democrats. Not only is the state Senate only one seat away from having a Democratic majority, but one of the moderate Republicans currently in the senate was against Scott Walker's union busting agenda. In other words, Wisconsin has a pro-union state Senate.

The Nation's John Nichols joins The Ed Show to discuss what the victory means for Scott Walker's anti-union political agenda.

Gaius Publius (AMERICAblog) with video (15:54) from MSNBC-ED Show:

This is a terrific piece from Ed Schultz on Obama's non-involvement in the Wisconsin recall elections. Ignore for a second the "bad advice" framing that gives Obama a public pass (my notes on that are below).

The rest is pure calling-out. Watch and learn (and enjoy John Nichols at the end; always a treat): MORE...

On Obama, Cornel West and Melissa Harris-Perry (with video)

HuffPo with video (09:02)from MSNBC-ED Schultz:

Ed Schultz sparred with Prof. Cornel West about President Obama after a day after the high-profile scholar and leading black intellectual gave a scathing interview condemning Obama's term in office.

On Monday, an interview with West appeared on the website Truthdig. In it, West called Obama "a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it." MORE...

Howie P.S.: Melissa Harris-Perry has her own disagreements with West:

Professor Cornel West is President Obama’s silenced, disregarded, disrespected moral conscience, according to Chris Hedges’s recent column, “The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West went Ballistic.” In a self-aggrandizing, victimology sermon deceptively wrapped in the discourse of prophetic witness, Professor West offers thin criticism of President Obama and stunning insight into the delicate ego of the self-appointed black leadership class that has been largely supplanted in recent years.
