This is a movement of emotion and the people are pissed. We've taken it from the big money influences in our government for too long and now it's come to Jesus time.

And I'm glad as hell that this has pissed you off so much. It only makes us stronger!

We ARE the 99%!

Redwing, you and the rest of the OWS aren't in charge, and you certainly don't control the debate. You don't have any answers, and FFS you don't even know what the questions are....

You just know what you don't like. And what you don't like is that someone else has it better. Oh, but "This is a non-violent protest." No, it's nutin' but a dirty party.

By the 99%’s own admission, you (collectively) are mostly comprised of people who can't make it in this system, and you are surprised and appalled by a level of "corruption" that has been in place since the founding. Of course the American economy is unfair. That was the whole purpose of the country in the first place, to be unfair. You already know this, because we all took junior high school civics. Two seconds after Thomas Jefferson wrote "all men are created equal" he demanded a slave bring him some tea.

The only way you are going to get anything is by being a threat to the establishment. It's nice that OWS recounts on their sites how many protestors have been arrested or pepper-sprayed. But how many bond traders have the protestors put in the hospital? How many M&A deals have you screwed up, blocked, or interfered with? All your side has done is do drugs, bang on drums, sexually assault women and break the glass at Starbucks. You put yourselves at "risk," for what? To get the word out that the system is rigged? WE ALREADY KNEW THAT.

You want me to be the 99%? You want me to protest with OWS? And do what? Fail? ***** and moan? You want me to join you to effect change? No, because you can't change anything. I'd rather join the guys who started the Tea Party and are the 1%. Why? Not because I buy their bull**** any more than yours, but because they are my kind of people. They are the hustlers, not the rubes.

Wow. Lord Stanley, that was totally f:censored:g awesome.

99% of the population? Aren't there over 300,000,000 people in the USA? So shouldn't the protests have oh I don't know 270,000,000 people there.

That would be 90%.

Math doesn't lend itself readily to propaganda. Besides, math is hard. Especially for those who "feel" and don't think.

There really is no 99% and you know that. If these idiots had jobs or classes to attend they'd be there and not freezing their asses off in some park. Some of the people are just curious onlookers, tourists, or bums looking for free food.

Anyone with a job, family to care for, and a sense of accountibility and self respect would never associate with those loons. Oddly enough, Pelosi does, what does that tell you?

i find tom's comments amusing...

The TEA party is a false movement, though it elected a significant number of officials to federal and state offices... OWS has elected nobody, but it is real...

okay

He probably thinks there are swastikas and guns all over the place at TEA Party meetings. After all, that's what Nancy Pelosi said.

As normal, Simpletom has his as$ handed to him. The OWS are a bunch of losers and Obabba and Simpletom are included. Very amusing, The theater of the absurd.

That movement is the new Republican Party bought, paid and controlled by the Koch's, Karl Rove and Dick Armey with the sole purpose of defeating Obamacare for their own special interests...and you're a damned fool if you can't see that.

And no, it didn't start out that way.

When your sole contact with the TEA Party is reading about it in, or hearing about it or watching it on, the (decidedly biased) mainstream media (and they're all biased, just some like Fox in a somewhat different direction from the rest), I can see how you can form that opinion.

On the ground, with the TEA Party itself, you would be a damned fool if you continued to cling to that mistaken opinion.

At least you agree that it didn't start that way.

Dude, you damned well know I'm not talking about the local tea party groups. And as I've told you in the past, I was basically on board with the original local tea party groups, but they aren't the ones propping up these Congressional candidates with the main purpose of repealing Obamacare.

And it's the same thing with OWS. The local groups aren't hippies living in their parents basement just wanting a damned handout. They aren't rioting and they aren't stupid lazy losers or whatever the majority of the clueless on this board dismiss them as. They're regular folk like me who are tired of the special interest running everything but are looking for a way to change it.

And they can't be bothered with the small things like KICKING OUT THE COMMIES, HIPPIES, RAPISTS, DOPERS, FIRESTARTERS AND TROUBLEMAKERS.

Yet another soft, respectful media puff-piece on OWS:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/stor...titialskip

Interesting lead-in paragraph:

Quote:It is not your typical cast of protesters: 66-year-old Nancy Pi-Sunyer, a retired teacher from Long Island; numerous 8-year-old school children; and a Christian high school dropout in Boaz, Ala., waving a sign that reads, "Do not rob the poor just because you can."

The journalist immediately attempts to present the Occupy protests as "diverse" by cherry-picking three protestors across the entire country who appear to have different backgrounds, thus creating the illusion of a movement with a wide spectrum of people. But even this is a bit of a fail... Among these three examples, I see someone who used to work in a public sector, likely unionized, and someone who is a high school dropout. Both likely candidates to participate in a leftwing protest and have plenty of time on their hands. Not exactly diverse. The "numerous 8-year-old school children" likely have no clue what's going on, and were simply herded there by public school teachers. Nice try in your attempt, Associated Press journalist.

It's bought and paid for by the Bush crime family, The John Birch Society, and the cryogenically preserved brain of J Edgar Hoover.

Don't forget the newest member of the Triumverate, Robot Nixon:

Tom.
The tea party was NEVER as disorganized, prone to violence and disrespectful of private property as some "occupy" groups, but I digress.

Thus far, the occupiers are malcontents with an unclear purpose. TEA partiers were NEVER unclear. When someone or some group significantly more organized and better funded comes in and turns them into an effective political voice on any scale like the Tea Party, I am certain it will be as a result of a special interest group... though perhaps one you agree with more than those that funded and organized the tea party. That doesn't make them any "purer".

At this point, you're comparing an infant to a teenager... and marveling at the potential of the infant while cursing the acne on the teen with an opinion you don't agree with and ignoring the dirty diapers AND the probability that the infant will also develop acne and an opinion you may not agree with.
