Occupy Wall Street: The Movement Grows

OWS sounds like IBS to me.

I prefer the term Occupados.

Sounds like a well used public toilet. Stinky, dirty and full of shit with lots of stupid grafitti on the walls.

The socialist leaders like Van Jones have their people out demonstrating here and there but it seems more like a bunch of morons milling around and waiting for their next latte. The liberal media doesn't even interview the fools because they can't seem to put two words together without using the "F" word. I hate to give the left any advice but the mob sure doesn't make Barry look good. It just tends to point out how far to the left the administration stands on important issues.

Can any Lib tell us how pulling successful people down will help?

 

[HenryBHough]

So do you agree with the way the police have been treating the protesters? They make it clear they want to stay non violent.

By that theory a bank robber who says "please" and "thank you" without hurting anyone must not be prosecuted. I'd go along with that if he/she stole only YOUR money.

So people should not be allowed to protest peacefully?

I don't see anybody wanting to pull successful people down..

That's what I see when I look at it.

what I really love and always get a kick out of, is the selectivity applied by the media, of late;

Networks Again Trumpet What NBC's Williams Celebrates as 'the Protest of This Current Era'
By: Brent Baker

CBS and NBC led Wednesday night with glowing stories about the growth and diversity of the far-left “Occupy Wall Street” protests, though without any ideological label applied nor any critics allowed, a promotional approach the networks never provided in Tea Party coverage.

“We begin tonight with what has become by any measure a pretty massive protest movement,” NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams announced. “While it goes by the official name ‘Occupy Wall Street,’ it has spread steadily and far beyond Wall Street, and it could well turn out to be the protest of this current era.”

ABC’s Cecilia Vega touted how “it is a crowd that grows daily in size and diversity,” CBS’s Michelle Miller heralded “they’re gaining momentum and new recruits” and NBC’s Mara Schiavocampo trumpeted “the largest crowd yet, and more varied in age and background.”

She assured viewers that “experts say though still largely undefined, the movement has a lot of potential.”



snip-

and not to be out done;

After highlighting, without regard to their size, how “the protests are spreading from cyberspace to streets all around the country -- 50 cities now -- from Salt Lake City to Topeka to Knoxville,” Vega considered it newsworthy that a left-wing Democrat is in favor of the left-wing protests: “The movement now garnering attention from politicians running for office, like Elizabeth Warren, who's vying for a Democratic Senate nomination in Massachusetts.”

Vega proceeded to hail how “observers of social history say the protesters' growing presence could be a major issue in the coming presidential election year.” A white female professor celebrated: “If you can influence the conversation in the 2012 election, then you've done something pretty amazing.”

I don't base "my opinions" upon TV or radio sound bytes, because for the most part...the media sucks. The issue is not about the OWS protesting...it's what they are protesting about that is the issue...economic equality. So tell me, how do you achieve economic equality in a world that isn't equal in the first place. The protests are displays of class evny. OWS is mad because someone has more money than they do. So I guess they want Peter Pan Obama to swoop in and pilage others riches and distribute it to them...we already do that...It's called TAXES. So what else is it?

Remember what the Bible says...Thou shall not covet!

It is obvious that you've been brainwashed and I don't say that to offend you.

Everything you've said is a composite of the propaganda spewed by the unholy trinity of Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity. All three are multi-millionaires and they make that kind of money by convincing impressionable people like you to oppose your own interests, which is what you're doing here.

The first thing you need to understand is the objective of the Wall Street protest is not to achieve economic equality but rather to restore the same level of equitable (not equal) distribution of this Nation's wealth resources as existed before Ronald Reagan initiated what he called "trickle down" economics, which we now know is siphon up economics. The idea you have that protesters are envious and covetous of the super rich is right out of the right-wing playbook. Please consider that there always has been a wealth disparity in America but this is the first time we've been hearing the "envy" and "covet" nonsense.

People aren't envious and coveteous. They are pissed off and have good reason to be. Their jobs are being exported to China, Mexico and India. Millions have been tricked into dumping their savings into untenable mortgages and are living now in cars and on the streets. Millions more have been cheated out of their pensions. All of this while one percent of the population has accumulated the kind of wealth that equates to nobility.

And unless you are in some exceptionally secure financial situation these Wall Street schemers and manipulators will get around to you. They're just getting warmed up now.

That is not a clever oneliner Cal.,because $20 an hour is a pittance from where I'm from...your wages are a disgrace,no wonder everyone lived on CREDIT,CREDIT and more CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!shit thats only $800 for a 40 hour week,our average is $1468.just saying

Great. Perhaps you could answer the question I keep asking of the protest supporters. What would be the economic impact of the 11 demands. If that's too hard.... just answer this one... what would be the economic impact of a $20 ph min wage?

Liar.

How odd. Asking a question is now deemed a 'lie' by the left. The lack of logic is impressive.

LOL, you attended Oxford? How successful were you given your obvious reading comprehension difficulty?

My question was, "Why would anyone defend 'Wall Street'?" A question you decided was a statement that some were defending Wall Street. Clearly my question was based on the egregious nature of wall street, i.e. abject greed, and how no one would defend such behavior.

My educational achievements are your business... how exactly? Jealous? No need to be. At the end of the day, it's just a University - albeit one of the best in the world - and, sure, it has absolutely helped me careerwise.... but it's no big deal.

I asked a perfectly reasonable question in response to yours. Who is defending Wall St. If the question was too hard for you, I apologize. Is that better?

Silly child.

You didn't just say that?


Did he just say that?

Admin note: This is not an official list of demands. This is a forum post submitted by a single user and hyped by irresponsible news/commentary agencies like Fox News and Mises.org. This content was not published by the OccupyWallSt.org collective, nor was it ever proposed or agreed to on a consensus basis with the NYC General Assembly. There is NO official list of demands.

You all can deny deny deny all you want..The cats out of the bag already...
The majority of the people see this so called movement just for what it is..The desperation of the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Please define "our Constitutional Republic."

Our: The United States of America

Constitutional Republic: a state where the head of state and elected leaders are representatives of the People,, governing by the existing Constitutional laws which limit the government's power over the People.

Standard definition of a Constitutional Republic - I find it slightly disconcerting that you need it to be defined for you.

I'm wondering why Dragon finds this straightforward question so hard to answer.... Or maybe he's embarrassed by asking for a definition of 'our Constitutional Republic'. Hmmm.

I guess the question was too hard for Dragon... or maybe he really doesn't want to answer - at least, not honestly.

Which begs the question. Do the left really want to tear up the Constitution and create a new America?
