Nice to know that someone actually realizes the Occupy Movement is an actual threat to the stagnant status quo, enough to lie about their reasons for attempting to silence it, anyway....

Ya don't say.

I politician lying to support a corporation's agenda? Unheard of.

I guess this means the filthy occupiers can go back to pitching tents and not accomplishing anything aside from alienating themselves from mainstream Americans?

So now all of a sudden it's a great thing that a government is mandating health standards for the people?

Or is this only OK because it's LA?

They got your pannehs in a wad. Otherwise you'd never bring it up.

The fact that their actions make Americans defend this bullsh*t corporatist system is accomplishment enough.

Yeah, OLA posted this article to Facebook a while back. Of course they're lying about Occupy to shut us down. Occupy can't be turned into a profit center or a vote-getting apparatus. The very idea is threatening, never mind that very powerful political ideas that are inherently threatening to the aristos are being built within and around it.

That's the whole point of the article, silly whidbey. The "lie" was that the mayor of LA used sanitation as the reason for closing down the encampment when really he just wanted them gone.

oh geesh, the OWS are still whining?

I thought they were done in 2011?

Oh god, my arm . . . call someone I think I'm having a heart attack

Yeah b-but YOU. Come on. Call them "dirty hippies" just for old times' sake. Remind us how impotent they are as a force in today's happening now a-gogo world...

Well, actually, the whole point of the article is that your trollery is the exact opposite of reality. But, uh, what else is new.

meh.

they close down kids running lemonade stands for sanitary reasons, waiting so long before closing down an illegal camp that was serving food from an uninspected source and had non-code sanitation seems like they were being really generous to the OWS hipsters.

Besides, where are they now? Is a new iphone coming out?

Yeah, they are still relevant.
Have you seen the OWS new york camp lately? Impressive!

A politician LIED???!!!

I found the whole episode humorous at the time. It's actually still humorous now, the way a bunch of people turned a noble cause into a fight about the right to camp in a camp with little to no long-term political effect. Say what you will about the tea party, at least they moved the national dialogue to the right. What is the legacy of the occupy movement? Who is going to get elected thanks to them?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*shrugs* The "national dialogue" was already to the right. Poking it along lovingly with $$$ was actually a pretty easy task.

As for the Occupy Movement, it's definitely planted seeds. It takes a lot more effort to topple a giant than feeding it the way the Tea party did.

I saw those numbers this morning, actually. Interesting that all of a sudden white middle class people are starting to feel screwed by the power elite. Makes you think the minorities in this country have to look at it with a bit of schadenfreude - it's like "yeah, welcome to the club".

if anything it's a testament to the stubbornness of whitey.
in how they/we view ourselves and our "place" in society.

Be specific. What are they trying to ACHIEVE?

I know they whine a lot, but I haven't seen what specifically they want to have happen and at what cost.

Are they even still around? I saw that they marched on Mayor Bloomberg's mansion, how did that achieve something for me (besides paying the cops overtime)?

Shut up, troll.

Ok since no one wants to enter the obvious I'll just have to go ahead and do it.

Q: How can you tell a politician is lying?

A: His lips move.

if at the very least they are trying to make you me and the majority of our populace AWARE of the unfair & unethical practices of the "wall street" community. the laws that have been implemented and overturned to their benefit & the regulations that have been absent to their benefit.

I know they whine a lot, but I haven't seen what specifically they want to have happen and at what cost.

I know it's hard, sometimes you have to fill in the blanks so to speak, don't you want to be part of an equal society? and i see you have concerns about costs, so does the Occupy crowd.

Are they even still around? I saw that they marched on Mayor Bloomberg's mansion, how did that achieve something for me (besides paying the cops overtime)?

did you RTFA? still around, upthread you mentioned the OWS camp conditions.... and how impressive they were.
oh man, that's like... Eleventy pounds of cheese.

Someone get the salts!
