Eric Bolling, Fox News' Peter Johnson Mock Occupy Wall Street (VIDEO)

Fox News host Eric Bolling added to his history of mocking Occupy Wall Street during an appearance on Friday's "Fox and Friends."

Bolling previously appeared on camera in a tin-foil hat to lampoon the protests. On Friday, he spoke to contributor Peter Johnson about the movement. Both seemed to view Occupy Wall Street in fairly apocalyptic terms, with Bolling hinting that the protesters were "really just trying to shut down the economy," and Johnson calling the Occupy Oakland general strike an "alarming event in America."

Johnson also took an unnamed but clear swipe at Rachel Maddow, who connected the general strike to another one that took place in Oakland in 1946 on her Wednesday show.

"I saw one person talk about this as if it was a nostalgic reverie, looking back at what happened in 1946 as if they were summer camp movies," he said.

As the segment ended, Bolling said, "How about occupy a job? how about occupy reality for a minute?"

Here is more proof that the Anchors at Fox are so out of touch with reality and the average American by making such stupid unfounded comments, yet, the dim-witted and the mentally handicap neo-cons watch them daily with such reverence.

First off......well said Eric Bolling. OWS has become an agenda for Socialists and Communists and thank you for having the guts to acknowledge their agenda has changed. It has become a far left movement. For whatever Rachel Maddow says, who cares, she has proven over and over that she is nothing but a hypocritical idiot that is so far left she has no audience.

First off dear Huff Po fellow member, you have probably never opened your mind to a real news person or program such as likes of the Rachel Maddow Show because you're too in tuned to the bobble heads which are paid personalities on the Fox News Network which, has proven itself over and over that they are the "Agenda" based news network.

Unlike the Fox Network Personalities Rachel Maddow spends hours ahead of time researching and fact checking her show's topics, and will on air recant or apologize for any erroneous information or errors that she has made, UNLIKE those at Rupert Murdoch's/ Roger Ailes FOX (Fixed) News.

With Regards to OWS, you don't really know Jack of what your talking about because you fail to independently seek out the hoards of information readily available on the net if you have you would certainly know that it has nothing to do with any Socialist Driven Agenda and more about accountability for those CEO's and Wall Street'ers who after years of Republican De-regulation have totally Fkd! up our economy and NOT a One has been brought to a real trial for accountability for their actions but rather Bonus-ed them selves millions of dollars funded by the American Tax Payer.

Where are Randolph and Mortimer Duke when you need them? These guys should be Winthrop'd for $1, so they can see what it's like.

The Fox News article was quite accurate, revealing and sober. Too bad RMaddow had her feelings hurt.

Really? Maddow said her feelings were hurt? Or are you lying?

She didn't need to. Her reaction told the real story.
