Mike Myers on Occupy Wall Street: ‘Civil … Articulate … Democracy in Action’
by HollywoodlandIf Mike Myers makes a few more movies like “The Love Guru” he could become one of the 99 percenters.
For now, the “Austin Powers” star is all about Occupy Wall Street regardless of the zeroes in his savings account. He is a newly christened American, and what’s more American than supporting a movement that vows to tear down the economic structure and rebuild it in a more distributive fashion?
—–
“I’m a new American,” the Canadian-born funnyman explained to a fellow marcher at Occupy Wall Street, “and I’m interested in a level playing field. I’m not an ideologue. I grew up working class…I think [OWS] is remarkably civil, remarkably articulate, it’s democracy in action and it’s fascinating to watch.”
By civil, does he mean this? Or this? Or perhaps this?
And he’s probably thinking about this when he called the movement articulate.

Just like the others, he chooses to ignore those events to push foreward this destructive agenda. Canucklehead.
Mike,
I love your SNL material. Thanks for becoming an American, but please make sure you do your part… if you want the OWS folks to be articulate, speak for them. If you want OWS folks to be peaceful, lead them in peaceful action and call out the violent jackasses publicly.
I am philosophically opposed to (probably) 99% of the so-called 99%… but maybe they'll do something good. Maybe they will get the classic Democrat party to oust the Socialists lurking in their midst and we can get a real Loyal Opposition party in the USA once again.
Good luck, Wayne.
Badda.
Meyers: "Cor! This crowd smells like sh!t!"
Reporter: "It is sh!t, Mike."
Meyers: "….Oh, good, then it's not just me."
Apparently, no one has told him about the rapes, murder, suicides, disease, or defacation.
He should go to Breitbart more often.
Great note to him. I hope he reads it, but I expect that Mike Myers has only watched MSM programming on OWS..
These hollywood airheads are completely detached from reality. You have actors with an IQ three degrees below whale shyt making tens of millions for reading lines others have written for them while those on Wall Street who make less are demonized as the greedy rich. Wall Street has contributed far more to society than the dreck produced by these drug addled liberal idiots who can be found passed out face first in their own vomit on a Saturday night.
OFF TOPIC:
In what appears to be a legitimate press release on the blog of the official Atlas Shrugged Part I website, the producers of the film have announced that they will "replace more than 100,000 title sheets appearing on the Atlas Shrugged Part 1 DVD and Blu-ray versions."
You can go to http://www.atlasshruggedpart1.com/title-sheet to get a replacement title sheet for your DVD which will replace the offending text "AYN RAND's timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice comes to life…" with the proper "AYN RAND's timeless novel of rational self-interest comes to life…"
Sure glad they cleared that up. Self-sacrifice is for dupes.
Austin Powers: "This crowd is kind of nutty!"
Sounds like Wayne got into Steven Tyler's stash.
So what he is saying is "Now that I am an American I don't want anyone else to have the same chance I had to make it big"…
Myers, like the rest of the sellouts in Hollywood, have to kiss up to the young fans. Can't have them losing millions in box office revenues, now, can we? Anything that has big money attached to it is corrupt.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
do you know anyone who sacrifices their own self interest for that of others? Did Layton refuse his parliamentary paycheque and perks?
Is W Buffet paying himself $100,000 in salary and $15 million in dividends and capital gains so that you can add nothing to any discussion in which you participate?
The degree of your bottom feeding Eastern Canadian scumbag ness cannot be overstated.
Either he is dumb or has been watching MSNBC (wait, those are not mutually exclusive, are they?) How can anyone not know about the violence that has been taking place at the Occupy sites? "Civil?" "Remarkably articulate?" What is he talking about? The man's ignorance is astounding!
I couldn't bring myself to watch the clip, but did he do the interview in a Scottish accent? He uses it in most of his movies, so he must think it's funny. I certainly don't.
So why did he bother becoming a US citizen?
I'm going to assume that he was trying to be ironic and sarcastic…or just really really f***ing stupid.
"Articulate?" I'm still waiting for the OWS crowd to be coherent.
what a moron ..im sorry but wth… these celebs out making nice nice with a bunch of lawless seeking morons! The want no equality… the have to seperate everyone according to whos got danglers, but dont want them… who ain't got them, .. but do. who ain't got but wants them that don't have one either.. who does and wants someones elses too!!! I mean c'mon!
Hey mike tell them how much money you got and how much of it your going to give them! You ain't got the cajones my friend.
Haven't see much of him since that Indian guru flick, that no one I know watched. Could he possibly be trolling for a new gig?
OBAMA HAS RAISED ALMOST 3 TIMES AS MUCH MONEY AS ROMNEY.
ROMNEY HAS RAISED MORE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN. http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/index.php
Regardless of who the next President is, a Congress held by the other party can neutralize him!
STOP THE SOCIALIST ATTACK ON AMERICA! https://donate.gop.com/
Were you born into this world to serve as a sacrificial animal for someone elses' benefit? I certainly wasn't.
Another name to add to the ever expanding Hypocrite List.
Can anyone in Hollywood be less relevant than Mike Myers?
Andy Dick, Maybe?
so Canada couldn't tax him back into poverty
Go back to the drawing board and try to think of something more interesting to post. Maybe you could tell us everything you know about the Pro Bowlers Tour perhaps? That's off topic.
Wasn't Mike Myers a character in a horror movie franchise?
Yet another idiot from the left who has no idea what he is talking about.
Civil – They have not been civil. They have shouted hate, and then there's the crime, rape, etc
Articulate – They are not even coherent
Democracy in Action – Justify your statement. I have seen nothing democratic about their taking over public areas
I guess people taking a sh## on cop cars is being civil. I think less of Canadians today then I did yesterday.
Another brain deamillionairere liberal . I bet he will not give his money to others. He has millions. Give it all away pal.
Mickey Myers is showing his government reeducation camp roots.
We are NOT a democracy – we are a Constitutionally Limited Republic.
Mickey Myers, like so many ignorant doofuses on both sides of the aisle, (and, sadly that includes the so-called self-proclaimed "doctor of democracy") has no idea what a democracy is or what a republic is. And these morons vote.
Democracies are mob-ruled institutions that always fail wherever and whenever they are tried.
Our Founders specifically rejected democracy as our form of government. http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/06/29/th...
We are breeding morons in America. Duds. Zeros. Ciphers.
Mickey Myers is an illiterate know-nothing. A typical hollywood blithering idiot. A disgrace to his race – - the human race.
Yup. Democracy in Action. Sometimes just reading 'The Lord Of The Flies' isn't enough. You have to see it. Then you can start to understand why the Founders hated and feared it so badly.
Passive agressive isn't your best color.
As I said, rich liberals need do no more than express some solidarity with the sheeple and they are innoculated from criticism as to their 1% status. Mike Meyers has done some very funny work, and it would be the height of madness to presume he is thereby expected to say anything intelligent.
Neither do I
Myers stupidity and ignorance is a disgrace to himself and his country. I will not spend another dime of my money to see anything he has any part of.
Looks like I'm not going to watch any of his movies anymore.
Bingo
I imagine The Shape probably has a better grasp of reality than these Hollywood idiots.
Exactly! Liberals capacity for selective memory and deep denial never ceases to amaze. It really is a thing of wonder.
It's not that he doesn't know — it's that he doesn't WANT to know. As I said to someone else on here, the ability of LIberals to shut out the bad news is truly astounding.
LOL! Thanks for the capper!
I think [OWS] is remarkably civil….
He must have missed the murders, the rapes, the assaults, the stealing, the destruction of property.
Actually, he said-"Its a bit nutty!"
He should of just ate a baby, cause hes just another Fat Bastard!
Mike Myers: ‘Civil … Articulate … Democracy in Action’
translation…
"My career is almost dead. I must say anything to revive it!"
Almost? I don't even think his role in "Basterds" could save him.
It was just waiting there to be said, you set it up, so I just had to finish it off.
I used to like Mike Meyers, but ever since he and his wife, Robin, split up, he's been pretty lame. This doesn't help his cause much, either.
Another useful idiot opens his mouth.
Another living in fantasy land.
Mike Who?
