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

43 pages and counting on these guys?  Really?

Quit giving them publicity good or bad and they will eventually go away.

There are some in here that want them to stay.

Neither could I. I didn't include the link to make any point. Since you're a vet I was interested in your response. Vets aren't any more uniform in viewpoints than anyone else. Some of them loved the service, some tolerated it and some hated it. Most look back with some reverence later in life.

That's right.

Look at a flier found at Occupy Phoenix.

Pick any example of abuse of power, whether it is the fascist "war on drugs," the police thuggery that has become so common, the random stops and searches now routinely carried out in the name of "security" (e.g., at airports, "border checkpoints" that aren't even at the border, "sobriety checkpoints," and so on), or anything else.  Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question: If it is wrong for cops to do these things, doesn't that imply that the people have a right to RESIST such actions?  Of course, state mercenaries don't take kindly to being resisted, even non-violently.  If you question their right to detain you, interrogate you, search you, invade your home, and so on, you are very likely to be tasered, physically assaulted, kidnapped, put in a cage, or shot.  If a cop decides to treat you like livestock, whether he does it "legally" or not, you will usually have only two options: submit, or kill the cop.  You can't resist a cop "just a little" and get away with it.  He will always call in more of his fellow gang members, until you are subdued or dead.

    Basic logic dictates that you either have an obligation to LET "law enforcers" have their way with you, or you have the right to STOP them from doing so, which will almost always require killing them. (Politely asking fascists not to be fascists has a very poor track record.)

Occupy Madison Loses Permit Because Protesters were "Publicly Masturbating"

Paul Streeter, an OWS spokesman, responded to the situation: "[The protest] is indeed a work in progress," he said. Bwahahahaha!

So that's what it means when someone says they'll PM you.

Perhaps we should hit Zuccotti Park with a black light.

Wow.  That's a reliable news source if I've ever seen one.  

So are you getting ALL of your OWS coverage from outlets like that?

The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a "counter" revolution yesterday -- because they're angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for "professional homeless" people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.

Let's total your post count vs mine in this thread and then we can talk about who's flogging this issue.

'Occupy' memo could discourage victims from reporting assaults

Efforts by the Occupy Baltimore protest group to evolve into a self-contained, self-governing community have erupted into controversy with the distribution of a pamphlet that victim advocates and health workers fear discourages victims of sexual assaults from contacting police.

The pamphlet says that members of the protest group who believe they are victims or who suspect sexual abuse "are encouraged to immediately report the incident to the Security Committee," which will investigate and "supply the abuser with counseling resources."

Those of you wanting this to go away.

Do you feel they are attacking your way of life?  Do you feel as though it's an attack on you?

Other than the opinion journalism you watch, is it effecting you in any way?

I'm not seeing a difference with my life other than the opinions on a forum and some wasted air time on the news in the morning.

I don't hear much of squat on NPR about it.

I'll admit, I want these peaceful protests to last FOREVER!!  Or at least until after the elections.

These are the children of President Obama.
