THIS

Holy hell, from the comments on that site I would have thought I was on Alex Jones forums. Wow, i'm going to have to visit that site more often!

/ no smoking gun here ... meh

They have Obama Derangement Syndrome. Their "smoking guns" never are smoking.

Should have Obvious tag.

This is even more astroturf than the Tea Party ever was. Union organizers, celebrity money and aid, billionaires funding it and paying people to come. At least the Tea party was around a while before the help rolled in, these guys have had it since day one. I live here in NYC and I'll tell you, its definitely astroturf with a lot of trust-fund babies from Columbia and NYU.

Most Fake "Movement" ever

OMG he has PREVIOUSLY worked with a group that is hiring people to be organized activists (not protestors) with nothing to do with OWS.

That's proof!!!!

I expected derp, but I didn't expect...this.

I told you this was coming. This is the second attempt, there will be more.


/doesn't think it will stick

OK, first, that's stupid.

Second, It's not out of the realm of possibility that Obama's gonna wish he was more closely related to this movement than he is. Right now, they're not terribly down on him and Geitner/Paulson, etc.

So the message here is Obama and his administration are standing behind 99% of the people?

Can you list the groups that have donated money and the respective dollar amounts?

ProTip: I know you can't.

"Follow the money" only applies to rethuglicans.

So, this week's right wing talking point is that they're a bunch of paid protestors? That's a complete 180 away from last week's "they're just a bunch of unemployed hippies" talking point. Let's see how many trolls and shills run with this new revelation without questioning it even once...

Skleenar: Right now, they're not terribly down on him and Geitner/Paulson, etc

Yes, this is largely an anti-government protest, in the sense that there's an overall disagreement with the way the government has been dealing with the public (it favors people with money).

So they really are astroturf? I thought they were at least a little better than that.

CommieTaoist: the ad shown in TFA doesn't even mention OWS ffs, it is for legislative campaigns

Obama hired a person WHO IS ACORN TAINT who once worked with a group that DOESN'T LIKE WALL STREET and is HIRING PEOPLE. THAT MEANS OBAMA IS PAYING THE PROTESTORS. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

OWS is a disorganized, uncoordinated, disconnected group of people with no collective message and is organized and coordinated by a group of powerful elites to promote their common message. Well there certainly is no derp in that theory.

OH MY GOD a career political activist is trying to bolster/co-opt a grass roots movement by organizign other career political activists!!! *flips table*

Seriously, the tea party was literally created, run, and funded by guys like Dick Armey, and you're going to argue that OWC isn't a "real" protest movement, because a month after it started, and a week after it began spreading all over the globe, some party hack in the White House has finally gotten off his ass and started trying to place his own operatives in the movement? Too little, too late, subby. You Cons ought to have started your smear campaign on these guys weeks ago.

randomjsa: So they really are astroturf? I thought they were at least a little better than that.

No, you're thinking of the tea party.

I'm sooooo watching the O'Reilly Factor later on. Or anything on Fox for that matter.
After the debates tonight, of course.
GO HUNTSMAN!!!!

Frowns upon such shenanigans. So does his wife, but that totally has nothing to do with his decisions as a justice.

My best guess:

The first side that stops using Rush Limbaugh's "Using absurdity to point out the absurd" debate style, wins

Wow...the link between the Koch Bros and the Tea Party was proven with an undeniable link and THIS is the best you Righties can do for the Occupy Protests? Might as well through in the Elders of Zion and Lizard People if you're just gonna blindfire.
