Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

You seem to be infatuated with the zombie thing: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/virginia-republicans-condemn-graphic-zombie-obama-shot-head-140351979.html At least we are now starting to see GOP/Teabagger leaders coming out and saying these innuendos need to be halted. Not you.

I guess it's who is engaged in this type of vilification. Just because myriads of personalities committing crimes is no reason to condemn an entire movement.

Comparing these two movements is a joke. Apples and oranges....just dial back 55 pages.

I'm infatuated with zombies? These are YOUR people I am pointing out to this forum.

Funny that you're so obsessed with how they dress and how they present themselves, given that you're diametrically opposed to basically everything they stand for.

Over and over...again and again... sabotaging the movement won't work. Call off the children of Lee Atwater.

No one needs to sabotage the movement.  All we need to do is simply sit back and watch the movement sabotage itself. . .and perhaps post a video or two for entertainment.

The children of President Obama are awake.  Let them speak.

I just realized the GOP POTUS contenders are the same way.

We can all sit back and see which has the largest impact for the next 5 years.

Why would he want to hate on frat boys?

It's hard to joke on a 3 hunski down dow day....but you guys continue the fight against civil disobedience and continue to show less concern about the world economy. And it is important to have a worsening economy if it's an election year despite the fact the GOP/Teabaggers have no contenders. The %99 Movement distaste is so much more important than the economy. You proved this out during the summer when your GOP/Teabagger affiliates held the country hostage over spent money. I think this is the %99 Movements motivating factor....bought off politicians putting themselves before country.

Properly identifying yourself as a member of the media is "resisting arrest"

...but they threw in "public intoxication" and "trespassing" just because they could.

Fortunately, a sane judge refused to go along with the charade.

If these folks are going to Iron Gate in the morning then they are just transients to me.  If they are supplying there own food then they are a step up.

How many of the OWS people are really that concerned about the world economy or even understand the workings of it.  For that matter how many know the Dow took a 300 point smile today or care what that means?

It (probably) doesn't mean jack smile. It's just a continuation of the ridiculous volatility we've seen over the past few years.

Plenty....anyone who has a pension fund or IRA.

Why do you insist on making these civil disobediencers out to be poor and stupid? I know, comparing them to the GOP/Teabaggers is confusing for you.

Stop trying.

My first minimum wage job was fueling airplanes at a private airport.  I was 16 and drove a Jet-A truck all night and weekend long.  I worked lots of overtime because the boss couldn't afford another driver.  I had lots of friends that, at that age, thought my job was glamorous. I smelled like kerosene all the time.

That brings back memories.  Teen working a regional airport... I wasnt told that the gallon-per-second Jet A pump didnt automatically shut off when you release the handle, but rather slows down to prevent water hammer.  I ended up wearing about a gallon of that jet fuel, and had to rinse off a loaded Beech 99 before it could take off.   Good times.

Come on.  We all know these are just a bunch of nose-picking n'er do wells.  They don't know what an IRA or pension is unless it's something they expect the government or banksters to give them for free.

I set up a RSS feed from their SMF forum.  They're stockpiling milk and other home remedies to treat pepper-spray injuries.   

They are super.

Good news.  They caught the occupier who raped the 14 year old in Dallas.  Turns out he was a registered sex offender.

Dallas police have arrested a convicted sex offender in connection with the sexual assault of a 14-year-old runaway at the Occupy Dallas encampment.

Richard Wayne Armstrong, 24, faces one felony count of sexual assault of a child and another felony count of failing to register as a sex offender. He is also being held on a probation violation related to a 2009 sexual assault of a child case.
