Their choices are someone like Obama who implicitly endorses many of these problems, and a Republican who enthusiastically endorses them and pushes to make it even worse. Of course they will vote for Obama, what other rational decision would there be?

Would you include Ron Paul among the Republicans who would "make it worse" versus Obama?

Protests against corporate greed turns violent

The "Occupy Wall Street" protests that began in Canada and spread to cities across the U.S. moved Saturday to Asia and Europe

Police were out in force in Rome as some 100,000 protesters were expected

Protesters nicknamed "the indignant" also marched in other cities across the world.


In Frankfurt, continental Europe's financial capital, some 5,000 people protested in front of the European Central Bank, while in London, around 500 people marched from St. Paul's cathedral to the nearby stock exchange.

I'm glad in this country we're not hesitant to bring rubber bullets to a rock throwing fight. The people in lower manhattan are exercising their constitutional rights, the people in rome are assholes.

I'm pretty sure that's gotta be some tea party idiocy, they have a tendency to email retarded chops around. Most of them think photoshop is a highschool home ed class.

case point

It could also be Halik that they don't want their picture shown on the internet, kind of like anonymous forum posters.

So 3 people who want really radical ideas, and a couple idiots thrown in, out of thousands of protesters. Meanwhile, if you actually look at the signs in the background you will see the real message.

I don't really understand people who are against it. The main goal seems to be ending corporatocracy/kleptocracy. But I guess those opposed are happy the way our government serves corporations and money?

There may be secondary things that people want, such as a fairer economy as per this guy:


But if you think they want communism or anarchy as a whole, I am pretty sure you are delusional, and that is a lot like saying Anarchist420 speaks for all of Anandtech P&N.

Some in the 1% are in the right supporting the 99%, just as some in the 99% are suckers fighting against their own interest for the 1%.

So if you dont support the OWS crowd you are figting against your own interests?

I dont support anyone that claims they speak for the '99%. esspically those that as idiotic as I've seen as part of this group. A group that inculdes communists, anarachists, soicalists, and anti-captialists.

A group who brilliant ideas include abolished the federal resreve, outlaw banks, forgive college loans, forgive any other loans they feel like. And spend trillions on projects they want.

I'll figth for my own interests, not those of a group of people that feel/think someone owes them something.

There are tons of anti-captialists and communists part of this movement. This group has no focus so how can you claim that what they want is a fairer economy like the poster of one guy?

I love these people. They want to make a statement by pulling their bank accounts but they can't do it by simply shutting down their accounts. They need to go into the bank in a pack of 15, grandstanding and making a scene then act surprised when they get arrested.

I like how when the movement has popular ideas you claim it is unfocused, but when it has unpopular ideas you claim those are indicative of the whole group. It's really clear that you've decided that it is against your ideological football team, so you need to find reasons to oppose it.

I was in times square last night, it was pretty cool. So far the reaction from right wing people shows me more the power of right wing opinion makers to affect people's opinions than it does anything else.

Fair enough but the left here has been bashing the tea party for a year and your description could easily be for them. IMO the occupy people have some legitimate complaints but they are much worse than the tea party in terms of stupidity/radicalism.

That's because OWS is a mishmosh of anarchists, socialists, angry liberals, disenfranchised, unemployed, unemployable, homeless, deranged, etc.

The tea party kinda/sorta had their shit together. The seem tight as a drum compared to the kook stew that is OWS.

Hopefully some of those idiots will wake up and support the side that actually stands up for their own interests

I don't see you calling those 1% supporting the 99% "suckers fighting against their own interest." I don't see you calling people who donate to various charities "suckers fighting against their own interest." Seems like a 1 way street.

Ok that does it you have me convinced that ALL the protesters are Socialist that's like me saying that EVERYONE in the Tea Party are White supremacists.

.... I would come up with a better analogy.

no.

how easily people forget the early tea party rallies.

Everything from

GOd hates Fags
Obama = Hitler
Dont tread on me
Confederate Flags waving
Abortion is murder
Obama = devil

all sorts of fringe right-wing crap showed up at the original tea party rallies.

I remember, I was there in Sacramento. Mark Williams was running the show back then.

The OWS and the Tea party movement are the same thing. too bad people don't see it.

I do so enjoy the guy with $25,000+ loan who thinks it should be paid for by others. Did someone force him to borrow money?

Thats a good way to try and prove a point

"I'm one of the 53%...but I'm going to lie about my identity."

sure....we believe you.
