SNIP:
Here is the Axelrod/AstroTurf connection.


Longtime Democratic political consultant
President Obama’s closest advisor



In addition to scores of Democratic politicians and other organizations, Axelrod and his consultancy were hired by the Democratic National Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, the AFL-CIO, the AFSCME, the SEIU, and the Working Families Party. Axelrod also came to advise the top echelon of politicians in the Democratic Party. He worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate Campaign, helped Rahm Emanuel win a House of Representatives seat in 2002, and directed John Edwards' 2004 presidential campaign.

Looks like a pretty clear pattern emerging here, with the usual Left wing groups working through a variety of front organizations. Looks like this is Van Jones' "October Offensive"-pretty transparent so far, and mostly ineffective to this point. This strikes me as either testing the waters to see how much traction they have, or a dress rehearsal for something else.

A classic case of misplaced anger. The protesters should be saying this...

Well, if not, his campaign organization is, which amounts to the same thing. This is going to be a very long and dirty year. The real question, is what his more extreme supporters may do, should they lose the election, or whether, if they believe they will lose, they will try to prevent the election from taking place. I do NOT trust the Left in this country, not at all!

I said that Obama's parting "Gift" is going to be stop making the dollar the world currency. He downgraded our credit and there wasn't much of an immediate effect because the world still needs a place to park their money so its USTreasuries, but it's gets real ugly when the dollar is no longer the world currency and Obama has his legions of mindless zombies prepositioned to wreck additional havoc

There has been a VERY - VERY - VERY successful protest movement against Wall Street interest for well over a year now.
It is called - The Tea Party.

The tea party is not against Wall Street they are against big government spending us into bankruptsy, they are clear and concise about what they want and that is a smaller more efficient government that lives within it's means and gets off the backs of the American people. That's it. They are also free market capitalists, not the socialists these loons are. There is no comparison.

These morons can't even tell you or define to anyone why they are there, some are saying global warming others look like a deer caught in the headlights when asked. They just joined the crowd.

They complain about corporations, yet all have fancy cell phones, I pads and all are wearing clothes made by the very corporations that they profess to hate. They are a bunch of dummies caught up in a party and they don't know what the party is even about.

What this protest movement proves is there is movement. It is real, it is significant and it is increasing. Not only in New York City but all over the U.S. And because some of the participants cannot respond cogently and articulately to questions is not nearly as relevant as the fact that they are there in support of a massive anti-Wall Street protest. And by Wall Street they mean an emerging plutocracy which is changing the very nature of America.

It is 1:25 AM, Monday, 10/10. My tv is tuned to Fox News. Geraldo Rivera is interviewing protesters. So far he's talked to five, each of whom has articulately explained why they are there, what their grievance is, and why they believe this movement to be the vanguard of an imminent political revolution. And I agree.

Just the past half hour of taped television interviews is manifest evidence that what you are saying about "morons" who don't even know why they are there is parroted right wing propaganda. As I recall from the Vietnam era protests, the media commonly estimated that every individual who shows up at a demonstration represents the thinking and the political position of at least a thousand more who for one reason or other do not show up.

The anger of the OWS movement isn't focused enough on the real villians.

Their anger is justifed, just as the anger of the TPM wa justified.

But like the TPM they basically don't appear to really understand specifically who to blame.

Not untypical of populist movments, I note.

Do you not know what the AFL-CIO is, Maple?

The AFL-CIO is a monopoly.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Wall St has a tonne of functions. Not only raising capital, but in some instances trying to get something for nothing - just ask Bernie Madoff....

So you're saying Wall Street and SUEI have a LOT in common!

She said Labor is under attack from Corporate America......

A little dose of reality here.

The reason Labor is feeling attacked is because businesses are having to move to non-union Right To Work* states because of the tremendous costs Big-labor has imposed on them. The fight is between taking care of unions or providing an affordable competitive product. The unions believe that the primary purpose of the rich is to provide jobs and to pay exorbitant taxes. The reason the Dems support unions is because Big-labor donates exclusively to the Democrat National Committee or the DNC.

So when you boil it all down, this is all about money for the Democrats.....not jobs nor a strong economy.

*Right-to-work laws are statutes enforced in twenty-two U.S. states, mostly in the southern or western U.S., allowed under provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act, which prohibit agreements between labor unions and employers that make membership, payment of union dues, or fees a condition of employment, either before or after hiring, which would require the workplace to be a closed shop.

CBSMoneywatch's Jill Schlesinger points out that, according to economists at Northeastern University, corporate profits represented 88 percent of the growth in real national income between the 2Q of 2009 and 4Q of 2010, during the same period aggregate wages and salaries accounted for just over 1 percent. "The money that companies have earned during the recovery has mostly stayed within corporate America," writes Schlesinger, "and has not trickled down into higher wages, nor has it created enough jobs to put some of the 14 million unemployed Americans back to work."

Goldman Sachs owns Barack Obama - 100%

Only a slight exaggeration, and that is why the idea that he is behind OWS is sheer nonsense.

99 percent of Americans continue to struggle daily since the recession began while the richest 1 percent of the country prospers.

99 percent of Americans continue to struggle daily since the recession began while the richest 1 percent of the country prospers.

Let's say that's true. There are no real figures to support it, but let's dispense with asserting facts that are subject to verification. Let's just assume for the sake of the discussion that that contention is true.

What follows?

Premise 1: The 99% continue to struggle.

Premise 2: the top 1% is the only group whose members are prospering.

THEREFORE, ----- [what follows?]
