I only caught a Fox spun blurb last night. It seems their peaceful demonstration was squashed by those holding up in their ivory towers.
 
Occupy Wall Street | NYC Protest for American Revolution

It appears several of the rational and logical people posting here could likely assist this group, at least with laying things out for the every day "joes", most of which only know things suck, but, don't really know why.

Skimmed through the various newspaper accounts and I do hope more people open their minds, instead of staying glued to the football game or dancing with the stars when not on their employees time clock.

Here in the small town I live, it's crystal clear that those with the money, own the police, all the decision making and are quite corrupt.

I'll refrain from divulging play by play examples of the how to's and wherefores that this town went from having several factories employing people to having almost none..... how first degree murder is often legal and how even school teachers with mental problems which result in them copping guilty to multiple counts of child rape, result in no jail time and them not even being on the offenders registry... but it's all just more of the same....

Except, what the big dogs are doing is much slicker and not quite so easy to finger.

Are you talkling about when tony bolonga pepper sprayed those protestors?

I'm sure the camera convienently neglected to catch the part where they were assaulting someone or something.

No, those women were just standing there. Stupid old fuck cop should be fired. He should be fired just for having such a stupid name. Who the fuck names their kid Tony Balonga?

How funny are the conservatives support for Tea Party Circle Jerks, but then they turn around and hate "liberals" protesting the banking industry. :rolleyes5:

All the big banks should have been allowed to go under and their top management should have been tortured and put in gas chamber. Oh wait, they're white and rich so we can't touch them. Forgot about that.....

Well, in all fairness, his name is 'anthony' but still... hilarious name.

Now, if that is really the case, that those girls were just standing there, weren't throwing shit, etc... then yeah, he was out of line.

they can protest all they want. They make themselves look foolish... and should be punished to the max for vandalism, violence, etc.

Tea party members generally leave a demonstration area in better shape than it was when the arrived.
 
No, the Koch brothers pay a clean up crew to clean after Koch party events. Uh, I mean Tea Party Events.

Spare me your protest ethics. If a bunch of conservative fucks went and shit all over Michael Moore's lawn, you'd love it. I'm sure you're outraged over anti abortion fucks trying to block access to abortion clinics? Or try to intimidate patients and doctors. Funny how Fox news doesn't cover those things.
 
I think it's great. I hope the group can get a real manifesto and educate the 80%ers. It appears that the "post a comment" function on their site is not functioning so I did email them a few choice links from postings here.

If a nationwide movement of all W2 people started sole proprietorships, learned to file long form fully exploiting every deduction available to them, opted out of SS and maybe decided to defer making any insurance payments for six months....

there would be some changes for the better...

Many "houses of cards" would fall.

The formation of such a group or movement is a first step in "the people" rising up to take back what has always supposed to be theirs, the government.

The paper magicians on Wall Street, and their accomplices in DC, are guilty of crimes perhaps more heinous than those committed during WWII, by anyone.

I'm pro abortion. Well, I should say that I don't think its right, but I'm not for outlawing it, and don't particularly care for the people protesting it.

That said, conservatives typically have more class than to crap on someones lawn, evens someone as ignorant and vain and moore. I wouldn't applaud them if they did, though.
 
Perhaps I should e'mail you some photos of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages all the protesters did in the WI capital building, that place still smells like hippies leaving woodstock.

I'm glad they trashed it. I wish they would have burned it down with the republican mother fuckers locked inside. Send a message about union busting.

Conservatives have class? No, they're cowards. It was the liberals protesting Vietnam. 10'000's of American troops dead for nothing. Same story with Iraq. How much class does it take to wave your fuckin flag while our troops die for nothing? Trillions of dollars wasted and butt fuck 5axis guy has a problem with danange to the stupid state capital?

LMAO! Typical Obama voter. "Well somebody else did something bad, so what we did doesn't matter. Waaaa!"

Typical bush voter, let's go after the little guy while we waste trillions on war and the banking industry ass rapes us. :cheers: fuckin retards.
 
Are you really so out of touch with reality that you consider union's "the little guy"?

I don't consider most unions to be little guy or powerless, but they're pretty weak now days compared to Corp and republican power. Takes retards like you to not see that.

I consider wall street protesters to be very little guys. Banks(world) fuckin own this country thanks to republicans and corrupt dems.

I don't really understand why bi-party rhetoric is considered by any rational and free-thinking person to be a remote consideration in the people taking back their government or what is actually wrong.

Both of those parties, and the Teapotties too, pray that smoke screen will always prevent "the people" from standing together. That isn't clear to you? I think it must be somewhat, because at least you are now including "corrupt dems".

For as long as I can recall and with any reasonable understanding, it hasn't made a difference if the person voted in was a republican or democrat. Sure the people have been tossed a placating bone here and there, butt, it's clear where it's been aimed.

Once they were in, it has been clear to me they became part of an agenda which had very little to do with serving this county, other than up on a silver platter for vulgar financial gain, or it's people, other than themselves and theirs.

Our money is backed by nothing and controlled by whom? Our jobs and production have been sold to communists. Lobby money passes laws. Our democratic republic is very likely FUBAR.

FUBAR enough I sure don't see any way to fix it. Maybe if Perot had said whatever needed to be said to get in AND THEN done the things that needed to be done in 1992, perhaps our nation would be on it's way to recovery.

Who knows, but, if something doesn't happen soon, our flag may as well be changed to red with a contrasting sickle and hammer.
 
Believe it or not, I welcome the protesters and their agenda (FWIW). If we can get enough folks bitching about the direction of this ship, maybee it will change.

I am all for the "redirection" of the wall street jugarnaut. Now in what direction it gets turned may be another matter. The POTUS today anounced that the direction of the country is not correct. I say bring on Hillary and Christie. Let the people decide.

The Bamster is toast.

I almost hate your attitude more than I hate conservatives. The difference between the republicans and democrats is HUGE and it's not a "smoke screen". Are there gray areas and piece of shit bastards on both sides, yes.

Democrats are by far less shitty than Republicans.

Who voted for citizens united? Conservatives. That right there pretty much tells you everything you need to know about who they want to protect.

Who is making new laws that make it harder to vote in many states: Conservatives. What does that tell you?

Who is union busting? Conservatives

Who is against wall street reform? Conservatives

The only thing I'll give you that's total bull shit on both sides is all the Pro Israel bull shit.

I hate 90% of democrats but I'll take them any day over republicans. True progressive democrats are the only people I support.
 
At the risk of being run over by the rhetoric, I am given to understand that the "protestors" are the product of an on-line blog community that is attempting to establish a base of communicants that can be turned into LARGE advertising dollars. They are passing the word that here is proof that they can raise a crowd with their 4G network. I guess it is still not a crime to cash in on the passion and enthusiasm of the young before they turn into ignorant, bitter old people who don't know what side their bread is buttered on.

The NYTimes apprarently is having a tough time reporting this. Their first story
about the brooklyn bridge event, had the police directing the folks onto the bridge,
then arresting them for tresspass on it.

After two hours, the MINITRUTH had them revise the story to say the people
were arrested after clashing with the cops, who were dealing with the 'tresspass.'

They blew up wall street once. For much the same reasons.

Wall Street bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Anti-capitalist agitation." Sound familiar?
 
I admire these people for getting out and taking a stand, but I wish they had the balls to say what it is they want. I listened to an interview today with several of them and all they kept saying was we are for capitalism and democracy. Well you got capitalism and you got democracy sort of now what. They are too brainwashed and timid to say the dirty word. Socialism. That is what they want it is the only thing that will get a grip on corporate greed and power, because those pigs will not regulate themselves. Hey I just saw the post above when did they put that out. It sounds good but it is not likely to happen
