#OccupyWallstreet

[IGBT]

And that is a situation engineered by the CEO's and Wall Street and US politicians that personally benefit from a. selling US jobs overseas and b. encouraging illegal immigration in order to undercut US workers.

and if you belly up to the honesty bar you will realize this pitiful situation was brought about by BOTH sides of the political isle. There are no innocent politicians in America's job/economy/banking/real estate quagmire. The existing whitehouse "regime" is choosing to step on the neck of the economy with reckless social engineering stunts and hoax inspired "change".

And now its time to undo this trickle down BS, not double down on it.

OWS is a tip of a much bigger island of anger at the current politico-economic system. There are a lot more people who don't like protesting, but just about had it with the corporatists. Politicians would be well served to not wait for that anger to explode.

Politically assisinated for his fondness of hookers.

 

[the DRIZZLE]

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 call bullshit. Show some proof.

ROFL
So that's how his public career ended, not an FBI investigation of a prostitution ring during which he got inadvertently wiretapped as a pay-for-sex enthusiast.

But keep on keeping on with that narrative, if you post it in enough blogs it becomes true... amirite?

Why are we insulting these people? You can disagree with them but this is how democracy works. this is how you get your voice heard. I respect that.

you cant get your message out just by voting for the same old shit. You need to activate a large body of people.

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.

Seek to ~1:30 for the good part.

Why do they all think that the stereotypical hippie idiocy will get anything done? Attention whore grandstanding has absolutely no impact on what they want to accomplish (withdraw money) aside from the "sticking it to the man" circle jerk they've got going.

Want to move your money form citi elsewhere? Great, go for it. None of that involves bongo drums and a sit-in at a bank branch.

Those wall street protesters should be handing out charts like these, instead of dressing up like zombies for Halloween:

But that doesn't involve sticking to the man and getting arrested for sit ins / disregarding police commands / trespassing etc.

Why make cogent argument for policy when you can be an "activist"? Got knows that getting arrested for being a jackass is the only way to tell your cause is having impact.

Because we hate America. And freedom. Duh.

So what do the small crowds of perennial protesters do after they've been sitting around for a few weeks and the news agencies are getting bored covering nothing? Declare victory and all go home. Mission accomplished!

Who's insulting them? I'm just making fun of them.

What's Bernie Sanders guilty of?

The progressive faction of the Democratic Party is quite a bit different than the rest.

Hes a Marxist commie!

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Bernie Sanders isn't a Democrat.

We all know where the God hates Fags sign came from, and it wasn't the Tea Party. The only sign really prominent at the Tea party rallies was Don't Tread on Me. The rest need to be proven. Kinda like I'm doing with the Occupy LA, check out the anti-semitic rant by someone who works for LA Unified.

Nope, he's a socialist. Which explains Craig's undying love for him.

Probably for the same base reason people bash the Tea Party.

true. I guess I just couldnt figure out what the teaparty message was.

 

[irishScott]

The difference is the Tea Party actually influenced voting. What votes are these morons going to influence? In a few weeks or maybe months these protests will be dead and nothing will have changed because of them. In fact people will be more pissed off at the protestors disrupting their business and less likely to listen to them.

This is not some grandiose political movement like the civil rights March on Washington in the 60s. It's a mob of frustrated people, many of whom have gone online and proven that their current predicament is a direct result of their own stupidity. They don't want to change things, they want things to be changed for them. Not the best formula for winning respect or votes.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. - john f kennedy

^--- Literally every politican should have this quote taped up somewhere in their offices so they have a constant reminder. If they keep kicking this problem down the road, at some point, the people will grow so desperate with joblessness, homelessness, hunger, etc. that the London riots will look like a walk in the park.

Hahahaha, Fox News had their asses handed to them interviewing this OWS protestor:

Not surprised they wouldn't air it

Very well spoken (and his union kepi hat OWNS)

Edit: hahahaha, yep, they only wanted footage that made OWS protestors look bad, this was obviously left out of the show they were going to air it on:

It won't be just 'marxists' who bring violence if you push the people far enough, you retard.
