Hmm. Now I regret not going. I would have relished the opportunity to take that tool to task.

They arrested a bunch of the protesters over the weekend. Our parks aren't 24/7, and people were trying to stay overnight.

BWAHAHAHAH

I wonder when they start claiming that space aliens are really behind OWS?

Cythraul: I wonder when they start claiming that space aliens are really behind OWS?

We have to get through blaming gays, feminists, the lizard people, people with annoying cowlicks, and people who wear ill-fitting shoes before we can get to blaming space aliens.

I thin we are still through the looking glass here, people.

/what about the saucer people?

La ilaha ilaa hippies.

The anti-semite guys at Zucotti Park were there before the Occupiers showed up.



I took this on 9/11/2011. The Occupy stuff didn't start up until the following week or so.

People were hollering insults at the guy. Good times.

make me some tea: I took this on 9/11/2011.

So OWS is planning another 9/11.

Yes, obviously!

9/11_2.0: You Gon' Get OCCUPIED

the GOP still can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea that there IS nobody behind this movement. the fact that a bunch of people got fed up and started protesting on their own just blows their minds. it is literally inconceivable.

I have a feeling that I shouldn't google that.

WTF Indeed: Weaver95: the GOP still can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea that there IS nobody behind this movement. the fact that a bunch of people got fed up and started protesting on their own just blows their minds. it is literally inconceivable.

They do understand. But it's a threat to their political future so you attack it in hopes of killing it early. Come on man, you know this.

if the GOP wanted to kill this movement early, then they missed their chance. this thing is coast to coast now. what I don't understand is why they GOP thinks they can still ignore and mock it when it grows a bit bigger every day.

Has the GOP tried to link OWS to the homosexual agenda yet?

impaler: Has the GOP tried to link OWS to the homosexual agenda yet?

They're one picture of a flamboyantly gay OWS protester away from doing just that.

impaler: Has the GOP tried to link OWS to the homosexual agenda yet?

I think right now they're still trying the communism angle, with a bit of antisemitism for flavor.

Not yet, but that's likely the next thing they'll try.

I don't think they could have killed it. Frankly I don't think they can do anything, The GOP is not a political force anymore. It has no internal structure. It has no platform that rests on anything real. It's all lies and moral posturing and that will only take you so far in the face of hard numbers and empty bellies.

Yeah but neither of these will work either. They are used to pandering to their own base and they came to believe their own BS. They really really believed they were in the majority in their concerns with gay marrieds and overturning roe v wade. They really thought we, as a country, were worried about Obama's birth certificate. They thought they were speaking for the silent majority and that anyone who expressed a counter view was part of the lunatic fringe.

Hopefully this will all go down in the history books as a time of temporary madness. Like the tulip craze.

It's kinda hard to kill a following that has no leaders of any kind. One of the reasons the Tea Party has lost support is because it's leaders decided to speak their minds about the world and what came out was an endless stream of stupid and ignorance.

Trying to "kill" the Occupy movement would be like a good ol' fashioned game of Whack-a-Mole.

While I wish this were true, I just don't think it is... They keep rebounding again and again, and there is the very real chance they could do so again in 2012.

You're just afraid of the truth.

Wait, not truth; the other thing... crazy talk. That's it. You're just afraid of the crazy talk.

If it was Occupy Dearborn, I might believe you, but those guys, in my limited experience, tend towards not being Muslim extremists, many being individuals fleeing said Muslim extremists or dictators like Saddam.

Diogenes: Cythraul: I wonder when they start claiming that space aliens are really behind OWS?

We have to get through blaming gays, feminists, the lizard people, people with annoying cowlicks, and people who wear ill-fitting shoes before we can get to blaming space aliens.

And who's in charge of all of them?

Yep, you guessed it:

EWreckedSean: Because the American left didn't do that with the Tea Party?

In the end, the Tea Party and OWS want very similar things and are making very similar claims. I'm sure if either group were to just engage in civil discourse and would stop shouting epithets at each other, something would get done. But nobody wants anything to get done anymore, because they're worried the other side might be able to take credit for it.

Master Shake is on the case.

El_Swino: It's been fun watching the narrative change week to week. From "Dirty Unemployed Hippies" to "Professional Protesters", from "Adbusters Astroturf" to "Soros Financed" to "Muslim Brotherhood"...these guys are flailing around madly, trying to find a demonization that sticks.

Don't forget union thugs. I think that was one of the earlier derps.

Yeah I thought about checking it out too. Are they camping out at that park by Wall Street Plaza with the fake gators?

Senator Beth Johnson Park according to the news. Up by Ivanhoe.

lordaction: From Audacity of Hope:

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds
shift in an ugly direction."

Our Dear Leader has thrown his support behind these protesters. He did warn us so I am not really surprised.

You're derpy as hell.

/Grey 1 for you.
