I think this has already been covered by Foreign Policy Magazine, but they compared him to Hosni Mubarak, brilliant article: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/11/15/hosni_bloomberg

Nice article. Quotes:

New York's mild-mannered mayor Michael Bloomberg may seem an unlikely stand-in for Hosni Mubarak, but a case could be made:

He imposed a media blackout as he cracked down on the protests

He has amended the law to allow himself to stay in power.

Like Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, he prefers to remain aloof from the the partisan fray and is no longer a member of any party.

He controls a media empire in addition to his political power.

He's richer than Mubarak.

He's secretly preparing the city for a takeover by security forces. (What did you really think those bike lanes were for?) http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/11/15/hosni_bloomberg

The point system has been misused to make this post almost disappear. All 1st level comments were given -4 or worse points, whether pro this post or anti. This makes the discussion disappear unless one clicks on the + symbol.

Please! You little drama queens are sooo oppressed aren't you. Here's a straw so you can suck it up. It's ridiculous to compare the two; Xiaoping murdered thousands and Bloomberg enforced the law (finally). If you're taking your political and historical analysis from Olberman then no wonder this movement is in the state that it's in. Grow up and get a clue, or better yet a job!

Don't worry, we aren't comparing him to Xiaoping anymore, we're comparing him to Hosni Mubarak... http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/11/15/hosni_bloomberg

What law is higher than the aspirations of young people?

[-] 1 points by DudleyE (94) 13 years ago

Pick one, any one! Young people can aspire to whatever they want, as long as it's within the rules. Your age, aspirations, good intentions, ideology, or the common good does not set you above the law.

You are evil. Please go away.

Keith Oberman did quite the little analysis of Bloomberg recently. I highly recommend it. On youtube somewhere, think its today's. In fact, here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAahSr0afxM

Such foolish remarks will only hinder this movement

[-] 3 points by nomdeguerre (1775) from Brooklyn, NY 13 years ago

Mark my words, Bloomberg will be treated very harshly by history. Check back in five years. He's on the wrong side of history.

[-] 1 points by dantes443322 (148) 13 years ago

Bloomberg was kissing OWS as*. It was Brookfield that kicked OWS out.

[-] 2 points by powertothepeople (1264) 13 years ago

He sleeps with Brookfield. How does one separate the motives?

[-] 1 points by dantes443322 (148) 13 years ago

Then go occupy a PUBLIC place where he has no power.

Was a bad place to begin with. More impact will be done on Thursday.

Get over it. This is an idiotic and childish comparison.

Deng killed thousands in Tienanmen Square. Bloomberg killed no one.

All Bloomberg did was break up an encampment that did not belong there. All he really did was bruise your childish sense of entitlement.

[-] 2 points by australiano (37) from Burleigh Waters, QLD 13 years ago

Fuck up, you wouldn't be saying this shit if you had your house foreclosed, put into debt by banks and lost a lot of money would you? If you were ever born in the era of Xiaoping, I'm hoping you were one of those thousands that were killed for being such a fuckstick. The masses will rise and when they do they will tumble upon you like a tsunami in the night.

[-] 0 points by MeMyselfandI (85) 13 years ago

Put into debt by the banks? Please explain to everyone here exactly HOW the banks forced you to take out loans. What methods did they use to force your signature onto the loan papers or credit card charges? How did they force you to take money you didn't have to spend on things you wanted? Details please.

[-] 0 points by RicoSuave (218) 13 years ago

I have never had a house foreclosed, been put into debt by banks and lost a lot of money. You want to know why?

Because I'm not a Fuck Up.

Go back to smoking your pot .... fuckstick.

[-] 2 points by australiano (37) from Burleigh Waters, QLD 13 years ago

There is a fallacy in your comment, but you are probably too fucking dumb cunt breath to realise where it is. Let me out you out here fucktard. Just because if you weren't or were a "fuck up" doesn't mean those things would never happen to you, have a fucking hard look at the protesters and try and see the middle class there that had jobs, paid of their regular mortage just like a normal citizen would. Then BOOM, the backlash of greed comes and takes it away. If none of those things have ever happened to you, then you must still be living home with mommy, and having her stroke your cock every night telling you its ok, she'll pay of your debts for you and your credit cards to keep you out of debt. Grow the fuck up man, and I don't even fucking smoke pot ya pus infested crack and meth pipe smoking cuntneck. If you are so fucking conservative then here are some points for you to follow:
