Happening Now: Susan Sarandon Talks To Protesters At Occupy Wall Street Site

Occupy Wall Street is streaming footage of Oscar-winning actress and activist Susan Sarandon at the camp site. Via Christie Rotondo, Sarandon said, "It never changes from the top, it only changes from the bottom, and this is great."

Sarandon is no stranger to protests—or being arrested: In 1999, she was arrested during a protest of the NYPD's shooting of African immigrant Amadou Diallo. One commenter on the LiveStream page notes, "She's friends with Kevin Costner. If you build it, they will come." Rotondo also took a picture of Sarandon:

Last night, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore encouraged the protesters.

Just another dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers, dumb-ass actress type- with absolutely nothing to say. . . but unfortunately for her (and the rest of us-) feels the inner need to say it anyway!
How sad is this insipid moronic woman?!

You are a jackass, go back to mommy's house for dinner.

. . .and you dear foolish woman- need to see a good Proctologist as soon as possible!

JoanAngelson

And you should be shoved up Chris Christies ass, you racist pig.

JacksBack72

You know- (. . .you dear sweet thing, you. . . -so articulate and well spoken-) It is certainly not easy to be a 'Racist Pig' on the Gothamist/Disqus Comments website-
But I do thank you for offering your insightful blather-babble. . . such as it is!

Has anyone here have even a concept of what "money" is it's paper debt we owe its not even real let me print the money and collect it's ever varying interest and I'll be the richest man in the world,read your history and you will see that money is a construct created by the same people who claim the devine right of rulers. There is nothing devine about any of them! We have been scammed for the last 4000 years and it's time for tis system to go away!!!!

Susan Saradon and Michael Moore's net worth is $50MM each. Are they both willing to pay more in taxes?

On a side note:
Michael Moore is the white man's Al Sharpton and neither is cute or cuddly.

The "hip" from the word "hipster" comes from the word "hypocrite".

Just solved the puzzle!

The "Rep" from "Republican" comes from the word "Reptile."

See how stupid you sound?

Roger_the_Shrubber

In that case, the democrats are demonic. No offense to the prince of darkness.

BrassMonkeyBallz

that actually makes sense. They're cold blooded too.

kudos to you.

Protesters from Sarandon's generation got what they wanted, and the result is this mess we're in now.

I wonder if she was trying to sell them on the wonders of ping-pong.

CurmudgeonNYC

She is teaching them about "Spin"ing a story in the media. Har de har har.

Roger_the_Shrubber

When this is all over, the protestors will go back to their squats, parents' basements and studio apartments shared with 4 people. Susan Saranwrap will go back to her luxurious Hollywood home.

JoanAngelson

She earned it, she is beautiful!

and yet, magically, you will have managed to change the world from the cozy confines of your parents basement....

Is there anything inside your brain other than facile stereotypes?

You can't tell me that the guy with the colorful hat and stoner eyes is going back to his job as a doctor next week. Well, not unless he is Dr. Lexus scro.
