As I said a page or two back, this movement would do well to ostracize the idiots dressing up like zombies or the ones getting violent. In not doing so, they're only giving shills like Fox News ammunition to dismiss the movement and paint everyone as one of those morons. They need to remove that element in order to be taken seriously, or else they get bogged down with that stupidity.

Exact same thing with the Tea Party - by not publicly denouncing folks with the "We came unarmed - this time!" signs and the the racial overtones, they tacitly approved of it.

:roll:
here we go, somehow this was expectable. One group of protestors is legitimate, while the other are either stinking hippies or retarded racists...
And don't forget to pick out the loudest and wierdest of them, with the most bs demands to point out: "See, that's how they roll!"

I find it a good thing when people organize themselves politically and do not swallow everything they get served by the government.
The problem I have with the tea party is the infamous astroturfing, sponsored by people who want to keep their priviliges, however this does not mean that there people with their own agendas and honest issues and concerns.
Now the Wall Street protestors. It's easy to laugh at hipsters who protest the raised prices of lattes, or 25 yr old fimmakers who cry that they have no money; easy pickings.
I find it also disgusting to see the lunatics from Code Pink trying to be spokesmen (hehe) of the protest, as seen on Al Jazeera last Sunday; a group I have only little more sympathies for than for the KKK.

However the protestors are much more diverse. I find it funny when people bitch about the bailouts, but put down people who protest the very real financial system that led to idiotic things like this.


Oh, you are in good company, together with Commies like George Soros. :03:

I guess these folks are democrats, campaigning for Obama, I guess they took off their bedroom slippers and put on thier marching boots that's fine just as long they aren't stepping on anyones neck. Get a haircut and get a real job, that's if the government will let you.

Go ahead and say that to these gentlemen's faces. Go ahead, that is if you have the guts to. We'll wait.

I heard they were bus-ing folks in to protest, so they hijacked some vets, I bet those old guys, don't know they are hanging out with a bunch of commies, if they did know, they would be kicking some commie butt and telling them too get a haircut and get a real job. Liberals will do anything for a photo opt. So tell me what this protest is all about again, was it to perserve the constitution, stop wasteful government spending, stop the growth of government, illegal immagration, illegal government sale of weapons to mexican druglords. Government regulations impede-ing job growth, epa to shut down coal fire electical plants. I'm waiting

I dunno about that..

But I know for a fact the billionaire Koch brothers sent busses to over populate the Tea-farts rallies.

Your part of the poison, putting a liberal/conservative spin on this.

Feeding into faux news.

You know what they want? To not have to pay for the mistakes of the moneyed. To get lobbying (bribery) out of government. An equal voice in policy decisions.

Remember Dick Cheneys closed door secret energy summit with big oil execs? No one knows what was said but policy was shaped behind the Americans peoples backs.

You can hate them because they are kids or because Fox told you they were filthy Obama voters, you can be apathetic because you have yours already, but one day the theives hands will be in your pocket and no one will be left to fight for you.

Because of the passive lazy apathy that has gripped the people of our country.

The first Colony of Britains to win against them in open revolt, now look at us. Being ruined by partisan derpa derps.

Both houses are out to kill us, but as long as your attacking those long haired pinko commies, and them attacking you for wanting to cut rich people taxes to zero because they "create jobs".. The real culprits will never be looked at.

Conserva-tard /Demon-crat

I am American, how about you?

He's a yubba:rotfl2:

Wall Street Protesters Speak!
 

I'm a poor out of work American just trying to eek out a living with one foot in the woods, all our economic whaooos are the results of our government, our government is the real culprit.
I'm also a converted liberal, I have seen the error of my thinking not knowing what conservatism was really all about but I have been Hannitised and Beck ain't to far off, Mark Levin is spot on. If communism is a race, then I'm sorry I'm a racist. Yes the real culprits will never be looked at, you can see that right now in the network media they don't report on how corrupt this administration really is, why don't they look at this job bill , and see what really is inside this, just like Obama care, nothing but a great big tax bill, where did all that money go from the first stimulus????????????

The road I drive on to work every day was resurfaced with money from the ARRA.

That's the point. We shouldn't need "stimulus" for road paving. Geez. The government should quit misappropriating taxes and fees meant for this purpose in the first place.

That yubba!:salute:

The OWS guys are being portrayed bad by the media. Same as the TP was upon their inception by the liberal counterparts.

How did our government get so rotten? Because of PAC's (political action commitees) and lobbying (European countries call this bribery, and it's not allowed)

Obama wanted a single payer system for his Obama care. The insurance companies cried foul, a compromise was enacted. No a federal mandate saying EVERYONE HAS TO BUY IT FROM US.

These politicians know where their bread is buttered, so they bend over and go for it... And still they raise premiums, 9% just recently. In a few years they will have 300 million mandantory customers, so let's raise our rates now.. Government vouchers is free money to them, but not to a taxpayer.

In other words....government got involved in private sector operations and mucked things up in the process. See how it works??? Stop voting for it!

God forbid there should be an honest and genuine disagreement over how to fix healthcare.
