It is funny how many people who use the term teabagger, a sexual slur meant to stigmatize a whole group of people, who claim to be anti-bullying as well. It is like rain on a wedding day, a free ride when you are already late...

Yes, because making fun of people for being hatemongers = bullying.

OK, so it is ok to use sexual slurs to denigrate a whole group of people as long as you do not agree with their politics. Gottacha. Just wanted to get the rules straight. So do only liberals get this exception when attacking their political opponents or is this something all people of all political views can invoke when trying to intimidate those they disagree with to shut up?

Churchy LaFemme: OCCUPY *not valid Nov 1 - April 30

Fairbanks, Alaska, Occupy group stays in park all winter. It was the coldest winter since the 70s, btw, with one lovely 5-week stretch where it didn't get warmer than -35 f.

I'm afraid you're thinking of the Teabaggers, tardmitter. Their Hoverround batteries tend to freeze up below 10 degrees or so. AND there are seldom charging stations at rallies...


"The protesters, a local spin-off of the Occupy Wall Street movement started last October, are a core group of about 15 people who took turns staying at the park. They began occupying the park on Oct. 16."

I too associate Occupy Wall Street with 15 people in Fairbanks, Alaska
 
2012-05-01 01:28:21 PM
moops: Ya know, I empathize with the Occupiers - I feel their grievances have merit.

I don't, however, agree with their tactics and their entitled attitudes. The "1%" should be held accountable, but don't you dare suggest the Occupiers should be held accountable for their own actions. Camping in parks? That's our right because we don't agree with that law that says we can't. Drug use and overdoses at our events? Well only a few of us, that's not our fault. Vandalism and destruction of public AND private property during our marches? Well it's society's fault for not providing everyone with mental health support.

Why does it not occur to occupiers that the only way to change things is to get jobs in these places and TRY to change things? Maybe take a look at what kind of effort this really is?

you do realize that the tea party idiots are the ones who show up to protests armed with assault weapons, right?

not to mention the fact that in this thread alone, you've mocked the OWS protests for being weak, disorganized and powerless AND at the same time, you accused them of being smart, organized and terrorists. so which is it? OWS can't be both weak AND strong at the same time.

I know at least one of my coworkers took off today to go protest in NYC. For some reason it seems ironic to me to use a paid day off from your job to go protest the fact that there's no jobs... but maybe he's got another reason for going.

If you're referring to the story about the cops raiding OWS, so what? The NYPD aren't "powerful people" with any type of control over the stock market, banking system, or lending institutions.

Unless the goal of OWS is to commit a crime and then get investigated by the local municipality, I don't see how the raid has any bearing on anything.

They've doubled down on their police presence, and are coordinating with area banks with major video surveilence. For a farking "hippy drum circle". So either OWS is being falsly portrayed as "Hippies" and the police are actually scared something could go down. Or it could be to intimidate others to not get involved and to "Just move along Citizen". Either way, yes, the police are scared.

and they used them how often? were the guns even loaded? And you compare that to people who attempted to blow up a bridge, used Molotov cocktails, damaged businesses and cars? Seriously.


not to mention the fact that in this thread alone, you've mocked the OWS protests for being weak, disorganized and powerless AND at the same time, you accused them of being smart, organized and terrorists.

I NEVER accused them of being smart or organized. I pointed out all of the violence they are responsible for. That just shows them to be DUMB terrorists, not smart terrorists.

so which is it? OWS can't be both weak AND strong at the same time.

they are weak cowards who destroy shiat because that is all they can do. That doesn't make them strong.

that is great.

So the tea party protesters just sitting around posed no threat and did no damage.
While the 0WS crowd used Molotov Cocktails and bricks and damaged cars and other property and were stopped by the police.

A perfect example of the difference between a peaceful protest and a violent protest.

Actually as someone who had these idiots camped out infront of their office for a few months last year, OWS spent their time goading and instigating the cops, who showed what I thought to be surprising restraint, considering they had a giant farking encampment that was breaking the law right infront of them.

You can hardly expect Weaver95 to actually know what's going on with OWS, he'd have to leave his computer and actually show up for that to happen. Much easier to sit on the sidelines, let other people do the work and just make baseless comments about the success of the movement.
