In other news, Timothy McVeigh wasn't really a Libertarian, and David Koresh wasn't affiliated with the Religious Right.

Ted Haggard totally sucked those cocks while high on meth, though.

That being said, who said I had to like either the Tea Party or OWS.

Can't I just not like the Tea Party but also think that OWS is run by morons?

"We have a person facing terrorism charges on the lease of our warehouse," said one of the leaders. "If this gets into the media, it would be a disaster,"

on Occupy Cleveland's website. What a bunch of 'tards. Yes, this "would" look bad if the media got hold of it, or if anyone outside your group found out about it. You can make that harder for them by not discussing it on your farking website, 'tards.

I'm mostly laughing from the sidelines at the Occupy vs. Tea Party sideshow we have going on, but this I can't condone. Not cool, Occupy.

Zitt said Saturday that Crazy Larry was upset about the bombing.

That's hilarious.

First, that's completely irrelevant. If one of you does something idiotic, your subsequent idiocy draws no justification from past history.

Secondly, when did the "Occupy" movement become generally accepted as the "leftist" political equivalent, and opposition to, the Tea Party? Is this another one of those instances where liberals just kind of accepted the framing of the issue devised by conservatives? Seems so, if all of you guys are on board for that characterization.

So.........this means that Sarah Palin is now president and she has chosen as VP a bald eagle named "Small Government".

B-B-But Tea Party...!

If you're looking for racists then you need look no further than the OWS groups that contain no shortage of anti-Semitic ideas, unless you'd like to be an absolute laughing stock as you try to insist that not a single solitary OWS person could be racist in any way. I'll give you a big old hint: Racism is not a left wing or right wing thing, it's a human thing, and crosses all political, social, and economic boundaries.

But really here we have yet ANOTHER "isolated" case. How come there are no "isolated" cases of Tea Party people trying to be terrorists in spite of the fact that liberals on fark kept trying to label them as "Tea Queda" or something? I'll even give you the line the liberals would use.

'Even if this was an isolated case, it's clear that the Tea Party movement is inspiring terrorism, without their rhetoric and hate, this NEVER would have happened!'

But how could I possibly know that's what the liberals would say or do? Because that's precisely what they tried to do with the Gabriel Giffords shooting. The moment that happened liberals were tripping over each other to be the FIRST to scream that it was all those hateful right wingers fault that this had happened!

And when that turned out to be completely bogus? Well, let's just say we're still waiting for liberals to admit they were completely, totally, and utterly wrong about that.

But now we can honestly say that OWS inspired an actual attempt at domestic terrorism, and this is after we can already put out a laundry list of other crimes, diseases, and problems directly associated with OWS.

In the meantime the Tea Party never had any problems getting out there and putting their message out there in a peaceful fashion, but they're the dangerous ones while instance after instance, including an attempted terrorist attack, are only 'isolated cases' for the OWS movement.

I'm not sure what people think will happen when peaceful protesters are beaten, tased, gassed, and otherwise subjected to violence at the hands of authorities.

The authorities certainly knew what the eventual reaction would be.









BTW, the pepper spray dispenser Lt John F. Pike of the University of California Davis police force is using is non-issue. The report of the UC Davis investigation panel said the pepper spray Pike used was in a larger can with a more forceful nozzle than the variety officially approved for the police department.

So when you find a bad element contained within a group you don't like (∃x∈S:φ(x))→(∀x∈S:φ(x)), but when someone else points out numerous bad elements within a group you do like (∃x∈S:φ(x))→(x∈S^c)?? Solid.

Yes honey, we see you up there on that cross that you nailed yourself to.

I condemn this and this is why I don't take OWS seriously.

cman: That is exactly my point.

You have a point, but OWS is not strictly analogous to the Tea Party. I will say that there are some surprising similarities in the (purported) goals of the two groups, mostly with regard to how "justice" has been done relative to the banks who were responsible for the financial collapse. Both groups arise from legitimate complaints about the state of the US today.

But here are the 2 differences that (at least for me, and maybe some other farkers as well) makes it a lot easier to respect the position of OWS:

The tea party (or since it didn't exist yet, the folks who would later become members of the tea party) was JUST FINE with massive government spending and over-reach during the Bush administration. The people who would one day complain about government rescues of industry and claim that Obama overstepped his authority with regard to Libya had NO problem at all with the two wars and legitimate squandering of our budget surplus by the Bush administration. It seemed like these guys were farking SILENT about government waste until January of 2009. Then is suddenly became a huge deal. And when the government sat down to reign in the budget, tea partier congressmen turned down deals that offered as much as 10-1 ratios of spending cuts to revenue increases-----a spectacular triumph from the GOP standpoint. So to sum up:

-Tea partiers didn't give a shiat about the debt until the moment Obama took office. It might not be racism, but these people REALLY hate the guy, on a personal and less-than-reasonable basis.
-Tea partiers proved that they didn't give a shiat about the debt at all when they refused to negotiate in good faith on the debt when the debt ceiling debate happened last summer. If they had really wanted to shrink the debt through spending cuts, they could have had all they wanted in exchange for modest tax increases-----no, not even increases, expiration of temporary tax cuts----on the wealthiest Americans.

OWS on the other hand, didn't materialize suspiciously close to the inauguration of one politician, and they seem (generally) willing to compromise. They also don't appear to take their marching orders from a small cadre of leaders at the top, the way that the TPers do with Sarah Palin, among others. As for their ability to negotiate, one can only speculate on how well they would represent themselves in congress if given the same opportunities as the TPers. However, it is fair to say that OWS has faced a much higher degree of police brutality than the tea party has, and they have, if anything, been less prone to threats of violence in spite of that.

I don't expect you to agree, but I hope that you understand that it is not just blind partisanship that is causing most farkers to take OWS more seriously than the TP.

Exactly how I feel about the Obama administration, except that since they've managed to attain power I have to take them and their extremism very seriously indeed.

I think any of the people who have taken "occupy" to the point where they're living communally in a warehouse are by definition the fringe. They might claim the moniker for the local group but who in their right mind would ever want to be associated with such nutjobs? This shiat just frightens away people who would otherwise support the movement. Idiots.
