Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small

A loose-knit populist campaign that started on Wall Street three weeks ago has spread to dozens of cities across the country, with protesters camped out in Los Angeles near City Hall, assembled before the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago and marching through downtown Boston to rally against corporate greed, unemployment and the role of financial institutions in the economic crisis. With little organization and a reliance on Facebook, Twitter and Google groups to share methods, the Occupy Wall Street campaign, as the prototype in New York is called, has clearly tapped into a deep vein of anger, experts in social movements said, bringing longtime crusaders against globalization and professional anarchists together with younger people frustrated by poor job prospects. “Rants based on discontents are the first stage of any movement,” said Michael Kazin, a professor of history at Georgetown University. But he said it was unclear if the current protests would lead to a lasting movement, which would require the newly unleashed passions to be channeled into institutions and shaped into political goals.

Idiots like this are not what this movement needs and are doing it more harm than good. They should stay home if this is how they want to support it. They make it too easy for the media to put these morons on TV and portray the whole as the hippie moron stereotype. They forget who they're fighting against - the corporate media, the masters of spin and image.

Good ideals, misplaced energy and execution. :nope:

Have you seen these retards? bunch of rejects with nothing better to do.Every one they try to talk too are incoherent idiots with no real idea, its mostly one big party.Sure the occasional dumb, naive hot girl is there but most of them are hipster scum.Should have seen the inarticulate retard they just had on the news lol, he allegedly just graduated college and found a job.Guy looked like a moby reject.

Basically a lot of trash on the streets of various cities.One time I kind of would not mind police doing some sweeping:arrgh!:

The same thing was said about the wretched tea party when it started. "A bunch of rascist rednecks" Now look at the repugnant-can party infested with them.

A Martin Neimoller quote... fits your blind kind perfectly. One day they will come for you, and no one will be there to stand . I suppose they are dirty hippies just like the Vietnam protestors were. Joey Goebbels would love to be in America, lots of silly willys around here. He wouldn't have to work as hard.

Keep letting the media skew your views, they ignored it for 2 weeks. Videos on you tube of cops macing sitting people put this in the spotlight. Is that what we do to peaceful-nonviolent protestors? Should we firehose them like we did the blacks in the 60s? Should we kill them all? How about internment camps for people you don't agree with.

This affects you too, your future may be secure, but your grandchildren will be slaves if this current cronyism between banks/insurance companies/wall street and government continues.

Do you know what the Citizens United decision is, and what it will and is currently doing to our political system?

And you call them rejects?

Oh buddy, the media does not skew my views, I just do not care of the trash gathering and people trying top paint it as a legitimate social movement when it's a bunch of losers with nothing to do for the most part.I said nothing about we should firehose them, kill them etc, that would not right unless they began attacking or really causing trouble.Notice I said that I "kind of" would not the police doing some sweeping but my principles would prevent me from being for that.

Well I will be fine and my grandchildren will be fine if they do the right thing, it is called personal responsibility.The real enemy is the government trying to take from certain people to provide for people like the wall street protesters.Instead of being bitter, they could get their crap together and move up but they would rather blame those "evil bankers" etc and condemn a system that really has worked for majority of people because they are ignorant or just too stupid to understand how things work.

I am well aware of the Citizens United decision, and agree with it because the constitutional reasoning(First Amendment) was correct in that case.I along with others, spent several classes last year arguing with idiot liberals in my class about this.Bottom line, this was about the First Amendment and they could not offer any legitimate response other than "oh now those evil corporations can blah blah blah"

So corporations using the billions they are sitting on (from outsourcing jobs to China and India for slave wages) to "buy" elections openly? You ever wonder why lobbying is illegal in most European countries? They call it what it is...Bribery...

You know why Obamacare is bad? Because single payer was killed by insurance company lobbyists to get a mandate for a whole bunch of new mandatory customers on the taxpayer (me and you, I bust my butt for a living) dime.

Do you think it is fair that massive banks should privatize the profits but socialize the losses, your a bigger communist than any of them filthy reject,scumbucket hippies down thier fighting for their future.

So keep on shilling for the people who would bury you just as fast as they would bury those "dumb kids"

ORRRRRRRR, we may have to agree to disagree:salute:

oh bubbles, you parrot the mainstream media opinions on a regular basis, its almost like you got plugged into newscorp at birth with a later infusion of Rush and a Beck irrigation process.
BTW how did you find time to tell all the students they were wrong, I thought you was spending your time in education telling all the teachers they are wrong:rotfl2:
