I'm starting to think we should just stand aside and let them "occupy"...
The Organizers vs. the Organized in Zuccotti Park (http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10/occupy_animal_farm_the_organiz.html)
All occupiers are equal — but some occupiers are more equal than others. In wind-whipped Zuccotti Park, new divisions and hierarchies are threatening to upend Occupy Wall Street and its leaderless collective.
As the protest has grown, some of the occupiers have spontaneously taken charge on projects large and small. But many of the people in Zuccotti Park aren't taking direction well, leading to a tense Thursday of political disagreements, the occasional shouting match, and at least one fistfight.
It began, as it so often does, with a drum circle. The ten-hour groove marathons weren’t sitting well with the neighborhood’s community board, the ironically situated High School of Economics and Finance that sits on the corner of Zuccotti Park, or many of the sleep-deprived protesters.
“[The high school] couldn’t teach,” explained Josh Nelson, a 27-year-old occupier from Nebraska. “And we’ve had issues with the drummers too. They drum incessantly all day, and really loud.” Facilitators spearheaded a General Assembly proposal to limit the drumming to two hours a day. “The drumming is a major issue which has the potential to get us kicked out," said Lauren Digion, a leader on the sanitation working group.
But the drums were fun. They brought in publicity and money. Many non-facilitators were infuriated by the decision and claimed that it had been forced through the General Assembly.
“They’re imposing a structure on the natural flow of music," said Seth Harper, an 18-year-old from Georgia. “The GA decided to do it ... they suppressed people’s opinions. I wanted to do introduce a different proposal, but a big black organizer chick with an Afro said I couldn’t.”
To Shane Engelerdt, a 19-year-old from Jersey City and self-described former “head drummer,” this amounted to a Jacobinic betrayal. “They are becoming the government we’re trying to protest," he said. "They didn’t even give the drummers a say ... Drumming is the heartbeat of this movement. Look around: This is dead, you need a pulse to keep something alive.”
The drummers claim that the finance working group even levied a percussion tax of sorts, taking up to half of the $150-300 a day that the drum circle was receiving in tips. “Now they have over $500,000 from all sorts of places,” said Engelerdt. “We’re like, what’s going on here? They’re like the banks we’re protesting."
All belongings and money in the park are supposed to be held in common, but property rights reared their capitalistic head when facilitators went to clean up the park, which was looking more like a shantytown than usual after several days of wind and rain. The local community board was due to send in an inspector, so the facilitators and cleaners started moving tarps, bags, and personal belongings into a big pile in order to clean the park.
But some refused to budge. A bearded man began to gather up a tarp and an occupier emerged from beneath, screaming: “You’re going to break my f**king tent, get that sh*t off!” Near the front of the park, two men in hoodies staged a meta-sit-in, fearful that their belongings would be lost or appropriated.
Daniel Zetah, a 35-year-old lead facilitator from Minnesota, mounted a bench. “We need to clear this out. There are a bunch of kids coming to stay here.” One of the hoodied men fought back: “I’m not giving up my space for f**king kids. They have parents and homes. My parents are dead. This is my space.”
Other organizers were more blunt. “If you don’t want to be part of this group, then you can just leave,” yelled a facilitator in a button-down shirt, “Every week we clean our house.” Seth Harper, the pro-drummer proletarian, chimed in on the side of the sitters. “We disagree on how we should clean it. A lot of us disagree with the pile.” Zetah, tall and imposing with a fiery red beard, closed debate with a sigh. “We’re all big boys and girls. Let’s do this.” As he told me afterwards, “A lot of people are like spoiled children." The cure? A cold snap. “Personally, I cannot wait for winter. It will clear out these people who aren’t here for the right reasons. Bring on the snow. The real revolutionaries will stay in -50 degrees.”
“The sunshine protestors will leave,” said “Zonkers,” a 20-year-old cleaner and longtime occupier from Tennessee. (He asked that his name not be used due to a felony marijuana conviction.) “The people who remain are the people who care. You get a lot of crust punks, silly kids, people who want to panhandle ... It disgusts me. These people are here for a block party.”
Another argument broke out next to the pile of appropriated belongings, growing taller by the minute. A man named Sage Roberts desperately rifled through the pile, looking for a sleeping bag. “They’ve taken my stuff,” he muttered. Lauren Digion, the sanitation group leader, broke in: “This isn’t your stuff. You got all this stuff from comfort [the working group]. It belongs to comfort.”
And as I spoke to Michael Glaser, a 26-year-old Chicagoan helping lead winter preparation efforts, a physical fight broke out between a cleaner and a camper just feet from us.
“When cleanups happen, people get mad,” Glaser said. “This is its own city. Within every city there are people who freeload, who make people’s lives miserable. We just deal with it. We can’t kick them out.”
In response to dissatisfaction with the consensus General Assembly, many facilitators have adopted a new “spokescouncil” model, which allows each working group to act independently without securing the will of the collective. “This streamlines it,” argued Zonkers. “The GA is unwieldy, cumbersome, and redundant."
From today’s battles, it’s not yet clear who will win the day: the organizers or the organized. But the month-long protest has clearly grown and evolved to a point where a truly leaderless movement will risk eviction — or, worse, insurrection.
As the communal sleeping bag argument between Lauren Digion and Sage Roberts threatened to get out of hand, a facilitator in a red hat walked by, brow furrowed. “Remember? You’re not allowed to do any more interviews,” he said to Digion. She nodded and went back to work. But when Roberts shouted, “Don’t tell me what to do!” Digion couldn't hold back.
“Someone has to be told what to do," she said. "Someone needs to give orders. There’s no sense of order in this f**king place.”

I agree that we should let it pass. The Occupy crowd is part Animal Farm, part giant group therapy sessions for those suffering from serious hope-over.
Here's a glimpse into what I mean by group therapy written by the author of the Vajayjay Monologues (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eve-ensler/ambiguous-upsparkles-from_1_b_1022482.html)....
There was something so generous and receptive, as if the words, the stories were visibly permeating and engraving themselves on each person's soul. No one could leave. It went on for hours. It was a feast. We were feasting on each other. Stranger devouring the stories of stranger.
........ from the plights of refugees living in New York to the struggles of artists reckoning with creativity, success, and the fragile bond of friendships. I am hungry for these stories because they all contain the stories of my family -- each story is a fight for recognition, for progress, for the freedom to work, to create, to transform. And it is for that fight that I am occupying Wall Street. America nurtured the creative community that gave me my voice and the opportunities for that voice to resonate However, recent history is proving that voice has no audience, no reverberations worth a damn.......
..............The ground is hard, but the atmosphere is electric. It's the greatest school of democracy I've encountered. People are excited and open and kind and articulate and smart. Everyone is conversing all of the time, and everything seems to be happening at once. We have a month before our return flight takes off, and I have a feeling we might have a hard time leaving.
...... When they heard that someone spoke up, they were relieved that they are not alone. They were assured that they were not mad.....
Meanwhile, the cause is still nothing but an intense emotion that is beyond words........... The serene feeling i get while re entering the park from a long day of school is absolutely indescribable. .

The lefties wanted us to be indignant. When we weren't they astroturfed (made up 'our' opinion and projected it onto us). Naturally that didn't go over because that wasn't our thinking.
I mocked OWS because it is classic lefty theater - complete with a multitude of court jesters. They are playing at being Big People using all the idiotic Big People skills that they learned in the government indoctrination centers. In other words, they haven't a friggin idea what they're doing, why they're doing it, or what consequences their foolishness will have.
Whatever legitimate concerns that any of these fools may have is lost in the Theater of the Absurd.
The hardcore agitators are getting frustrated and whenever thugs get mad they get violent. When that happens the sunshine players will melt away back to the safety of their parents basements and dorm rooms.
And in the final analysis it will be "Bush's Fault"... ::whatgives::

I mean seriously, what can you really say about a bunch of people who think the concept of "property" is merely a contrivance of the capitalists, something that can be educated out of existence?
Have they not made even a cursory observation of nature? Even the simplest single cell organisms manifest the concept of property when one of them engulfs and eats another one. Anyone who has ever watched two dogs at feeding time, pacing back and forth from one to the other's bowl in an effort to acquire what is in reality an identical portion of identical food, will know that property is a concept inherent to existence.
It is seriously guffaw-inducing to read of their genuine outrage when it's their own property that is forfeit.

But see Glock, we're not animals, we're humans, so we're better than that. We can overcome the instinct to define what is ours - and for those who can't... mass graves are the perfect antidote. 100,000,000 have died in the last century alone to prove just how the instinct for property can be overcome.

Face it: Revolution is a dirty, nasty and sometimes bloody business. The Iranian Revolution is a recent example of the insanity that accompanies mob rule. Every night on the news during "America Held Hostage, Day ____" we had to endure the sniveling face of the "spokesperson" for the Revolution, Mr. Sadegh Ghotbzadeh.
I was fascinated by Sadegh Ghotbzadeh. He was all over US television in the late 70's, urbane, witty, perfect English and the Iranian face seen by most Americans.
He was spokesman for everything.
He was also consumed by the revolution, tortured, forced to give false testimony, tried and shot. He has no grave and precious little video to recall who he was.

Revolution, she is a bitch. A crazy, blood lusting. psycho, murderous bitch. And these little pillars of intellectual superiority think that there can be order without chaos, without rules and regulation in a leaderless collective.
Worked just great for Mr. Ghotbzadeh.

If I understand these idiots (arguably an exercise in futility), they want to do nothing and have other people supply all of their needs.
I would be perfectly okay with herding them all into one of the wilderness areas, putting a very big wall around it and then shipping in food and water. Let them have their utopia. But then don't let them out. Put it on pay-per-view. It would be illustrative.
Or stick a couple of dozen of them into that bio-dome place in Arizona. Again, provide them with all of the food and water they need and watch what happens in their perfect workless society.
Or put them on an island. I wish Australia wasn't already taken. Madagascar would work.

Sorry, no, I came factory equipped with a brain.

Others, apparently, are sadly lacking in this basic facility. (The artist may well have been to this pus pocket and is simply lying (libs do that) about it.)
So, no, I need not personally experience filth and squalor in the name of socialist propaganda in order to realize the utter ridiculousness of that particular situation. I remember the sixties quite well.
Here is someone who may or may not come to the same conclusion the hard way:

Liberal thought leader Matthew Yglesias writes today, “The Occupy Wall Street is a rational response to a system that’s failed.”
Well, except for the racism, attacking police, and the rapes, the trash, the clueless morons, the sex & drugs, the pervs exposing themselves to children, desecrating the flag & war memorials, embracing communism, getting Nazi endorsements, the anti-Semitism, the spitting on people, the mindless chanting, promoting sexual perversions, faking injuries, abusing local business owners, demanding free stuff, the feet sniffers and drinking urine,… It’s completely rational.
Oh, yeah...give me some of that. Or go live in the chimpanzee exhibit at the zoo for a few days. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Admitting? You say that like it's a bad thing.
No, I'm quite proud of having the intellectual wherewithal to not go anywhere near the place.
Come to think of it, I've never walked through any of our nation's burned out urban crime zones with a sign on my back that says, "I'm unarmed and carrying a big bag of money! What are you going to do about it?" But using your line of thinking I would have to do so in order to offer a qualified opinion on crime.
To say that one's opinion on OWS is somehow lacking because they haven't gotten down in the muck and experienced it up close and personal is shallow. Liberals use that technique all the time. They will say that your opinion on the war is invalid unless you have been in the military and served in combat in the infantry. They will say that your opinion on anything affecting, say, women is invalid unless you are a woman and a liberal woman at that. They have said that Herman Cain isn't a bonafide black man (whatever that is) because he did not personally participate in any of the civil rights demonstrations during the sixties. It goes on and on and on.
Why adopt such an absurd argument in regard to OWS?
We have eyes. We have ears. And those of us old enough to remember the sixties have memories.
There is nothing new under the sun. A rose by a different name will smell as sweet. Same sh*t, different day. A liberal is a liberal. A socialist is a socialist. A squalid hippy farm is a squalid hippy farm.
You go there. Knock yourself out. Rub elbows with the Marxists, Nazis, anti-semites, SEIU thugs, anarchists, criminals and the mentally ill. Let me know how it was. Then your opinion will truly be valid or something.
-
In response to this current line of discussion (ie, people can't get a feel for the depravity going on within the sphere of the OWS group), I have bookmarks to very similar stories/video from NBC, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Herald, American Thinker, Pajamas Media, You Tube, Time and Hot Air - and that isn't even all of the various media outlets I have drawn information from concerning this spectacle (those I've listed amount to about 2/3 of the bookmarked sources I have here). Am I to conclude that unless I physically go to New York and see this depravity first hand rather than watching a video of some guy crapping on a cop car or reading the accounts of residents of the area complaining to their local politicians about protestors taking dumps on their front steps, that I can not have an accurate view of what's going on?
Because all these bookmarks I have here are pretty specific about this garbage and many of them have corresponding video, etc. It seems pretty truthful and damning to me.
Am I wrong in this?
-
Gateway Pundit? Please. That's like the Weekly World News of conservative blogs.
Oh, wait...are you offering an opinion on GatewayPundit? Do you know Jim Hoft? Have you met him? Have you ever operated a conservative blog site of the size and reach of Hoft's? Do you have objective experience ranking and rating conservative blogs?
Using your line of reasoning you must either take Hoft's posts at face value or run out there and personally validate or invalidate everything posted there in order to have a valid opinion about them. Merely reading them, checking the links, using your own personal experience as a comparative yard stick, etc. is worthless.

No, according to rickl your opinion on this (and everything else you haven't personally experienced) isn't valid. It isn't authentic or something.
Logic and reason are not on equal footing with personal experience.
"Suspension of disbelief" is what allows people to watch a magic performance and enjoy it. "True suspension of disbelief" is what rickl is asking me to go along with in regard to the OWS freak show. Disregard what you are seeing, forget about everything that you saw in the sixties, ignore what you know about Marxists, socialists and community organizers because all of that is meaningless unless you are actually there and personally smelling the stench of the hippies.
Sorry, but "check your brain at the door" is not a lifestyle choice that I find appealing.
-
I'm just wondering because I thought that I'd been being pretty open-minded about all this. I usually try not to form a solid opinion one way or another concerning something that I haven't personally witnessed until I can verify it from a couple different sources (and preferably ones that are reputable). But if I've been going about this all wrong I guess it'd be good to be set straight now so I can stop pouring over the news from various media outlets each day...would sure save me a bunch of time and effort!

That's why I'm advocating containment. It deals with the problem without that whole messy ethnic cleansing thing that the left would use on the right if given half a chance. Hey, if these creeps were in the majority I would take exile in a heartbeat. We would build a capitalist free market system and kick their ass in a generation. Problem is that they know it and they would just kill us instead. Communist societies have demonstrated a very dim view of dissent throughout history.

Just for fun, here's one more from the Weekly World News of conservative blogs: (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/10/health-expert-ows-dump-is-breeding-ground-for-rats/)
Health Expert: #OWS Dump Is Breeding Ground For Rats
A New York City health expert says besides the smell of urine and the defecating on porches, the Occupy Wall Street dump is a breeding ground for rats.
The New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/health_expert_condemns_park_rats_Vk7kl3EMepB4d2DkeFNmFL#ixzz1bX2RKZIu) reported:
Close this pigpen!
Filth-ridden Zuccotti Park is a breeding ground for bacterial infection loaded with potential health-code violations that pose a major risk to the public, an expert who inspected the area warned.
“It’s like Walmart for rats,’’ Wayne Yon, an expert on city health regulations, said yesterday.
“There’s a lack of sanitation, a lack of controls for hot and cold water,” Yon said. He saw at least 15 violations of the city’s health code — the type that would easily shut down a food establishment.
He noted the lack of lavatory facilities, as neighbors repeatedly complain about protesters defecating in the area and the stench of urine.
Yon also pointed to unsanitary conditions in wash bins for cleaning food utensils.
“It looks extraordinarily dirty, and [the bin] should be changed once it starts to get dirty,” said Yon, who works for EHA Consulting Group Inc. Then he pointed to a pigeon in a tree right above where the protesters were washing dishes.
“There’s no overhead coverings. Pigeons are basically vermin,” Yon said.
Yup. They’re just like the tea party.
Hippies. Can't live with 'em. Can't shoot 'em.

This is sort of like eating Lays potato chips, it's hard to stop with just one. I found this quote (http://www.redstate.com/socrates/2011/10/22/the-tea-parties-have-spawned-a-cargo-cult/) and it is indeed profound:
The Occupy movement — with its spiritual roots in the thumb-sucking support group industry – has taken that a step further to try to be truly leaderless. But it’s a cargo cult of leaderlessness, as if competing with the tea parties to be the most tea partiesque.
With a focus on consensus, one group even ostracized their organizer for attempting to lead them. But that may be simply a symptom of impending doom, like advertising for homeless to join and then discovering that some homeless people are that way because no one else wants them around, either.
That's pretty damned profound...comparing the OWS hippies to South Sea savages' cargo cults. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult) Makes absolute total sense.

Yes, these certainly are reasonable and intelligent people...the kind you would want hanging out around your house, eyeing your kids, urinating on your lawn at 3:14 a.m. you know, regular ordinary peeps...
[Dylan] Spoelstra, who had been ticketed by the NYPD for public urination at 3:14 a.m., told his protestor pals that he was going to climb the bright red artwork known as “Joie de Vivre” on Broadway on the west side of Zuccotti Park. Shortly before 6 a.m., after eyeing the ring of cops standing nearby for several minutes, he dashed across the street and clambered up one of the large vertical beams, prompting an officer to call for back up.
The 24-year-old tried to reach the top of the structure but ran out of steam at about 30 feet, witnesses said. He perched on a beam and shouted out a list of his demands, until the NYPD hostage unit was brought in to deal with him.
Spoelstra initially demanded that 15 percent of staffers on the FDNY and NYPD be bisexual, witnesses said, but then changed his mind and said he wanted 15 of the police officers on scene to leave.
He also told cops he wouldn’t come down until Mayor Bloomberg resigned -- and asked for a cigarette and a jacket to get warm.
Whatever happened to demanding whirled peas? At least they got him down before he had to urinate again.

The Florida mom who ditched her banker husband and four kids to live in Zuccotti Park squalor is a hippie homemaker whose neighbors are horrified by her latest antics -- but are hardly surprised that she flew the coop.
Stacey Hessler, 38 -- a self-described “vegan freak” who’s into dreadlocks, roller derby and “unschooling” her kids -- acts like a self-obsessed college sophomore who never grew up, said a neighbor in her hometown of DeLand, Fla.
“I’m not disgusted she took off [to protest] -- because I’m not surprised,” seethed one next-door neighbor who asked that her name not be published.
One angry neighbor said yesterday it was hardly surprising that Hessler would leave her kids behind and go radical.
“She’s very bizarre,” the neighbor insisted.
On her Facebook page* (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1128079000&sk=wall), Hessler wrote about being a surrogate mom. She also boasted of a panoply of California-style beliefs.
She called herself a “radical unschooling mom of four, midwives assistant, roller-derby queen, rock-star musician, activist, dreadlock princess, African-bee keeper, organic vegan freak and a surrogate for the second time.”
Hessler has gotten even more hippie since she arrived in New York. In Zuccotti Park, she’s been sharing a tarp with a Brooklyn waiter and plans to stay “indefinitely.”

*From her Facebook page:
I have a plea for my friends. I need your help and support. I want to stay occupying wall st. I feel my presence is very important in the support of non-violent communication and sanitation(keeping the park clean) I am willing to work tirelessly on these efforts. I need help with getting my kids to activities and stepping up with the things I help lead, such as one small village, jr roller derby, bee-attitudes, 4H, for his glory co-op. Please respond if you are willing to help my kids so I can stay here and help this movement. I have a train ticket for tomorrow that I want to change but I need to know I have support from my community back home for my family in order to change the ticket.
and:
I am going to be here for a long time, I am not planning on leaving, they need my help to support this movement and I cant leave or I should say I just cant in my heart

Maybe, but ..... no. Relative to the times perhaps, but ........ no.
At 24 years old, one is no longer a youngster, equipped as he is with a brain reached maturity, at the height of physical development before beginning the long descent into decrepitude, and as fertile as he will ever be.
He's a "youngster" only because we've permitted the extended adolesence .... to our detriment ..... and pronounced it good with a benign term.
At 24, no one would have called our parents youngsters. Mine had a three year old and a two year old, held a part-time job notwithstanding, and used to upend and roll the tires out of the garage to sweep in there thus relieving her 27 year old husband of the need to do so when he got home from work.

" . . . roller derby queen . . ."
Oh. I wondered what happened to her teeth.

After seeing literally HUNDREDS of similar stories in the media lately (and other stories that are way worse; like the anti-Semitic rants, the calls for the deaths of 'bankers' when the bankers are simply following the laws installed by the politicians and the 19 year old 'alleged' rape victim at the Occupy Cleveland 'protest' for example) none of this comes as any surprise to me.
What is a source of outrage for me is how they are attempting to link the Tea Party to this garbage. In my opinion it's an effort to tarnish the Tea Party by association and it is sick. It doesn't appear to be working and is rather working against the democrat party from what I can tell. But just that the democrat party tries to do this sort of thing nauseates me and is a reason that is at the top of my list concerning why I absolutely DESPISE democrats.
I recently had to stop attending my church because my Pastor said that he was a proud socialist - no matter that leftism has destroyed and murdered so many people over the years - literally hundreds of millions! It's this sort of twisted mind that absolutely repulses me and I see it in practice here with the democrat party pulling the strings of OWS in an attempt to beguile the ignorant and gullible. When the supposed president of the United States stands at his bully pulpit and encourages racial violence and riots, not only does that illustrate the desperation of the democrat party to retain power, but it also illustrates the depraved evil that is the democrat party. Comparisons to Hitler, I don't believe, are out of order when it comes to these people.
-
Where is the Tea Party answer to this? What the nation needs right now is a demonstration on the DC Mall, permitted, organized, so the whole world can see the difference. Of course, great strides would have to be made to identify and eject Leftist disruptors. But still, there needs to be an answer to this degenerate demonstration.
-
This is sort of like eating Lays potato chips, it's hard to stop with just one.
I love it , Trap, when you eat the whole bag!

I disagree, IDP. As you allude to in your comment, a Tea Party rally anywhere in the vicinity of New York or DC would be an instant opportunity for the OWC organizers. They would definitely infiltrate the event and disrupt it. I can imagine fist fights to be the minimal level of disruption...anything that would draw the cameras.
What is on our side is time and the time of year. There is a long way to go until the election and a very short time until truly nasty weather clears all of these creeps out of the northeast urban areas. Any prolonged rain or snow and it will all be over. When the number of protesters shrinks, the authorities (also sensitive to local voters) will clear the holdouts from the parks. That will be pretty much the end of the whole issue.
Seriously, for a lot of these idiots it's all about the media coverage. That's one of the reasons that they are driven to ever more ridiculous displays...if it's not new the media won't cover it...not for long anyway, people get bored seeing the same pack of dirty, smelly hippies marching around in a circle. The weather will clear out all but the hardliners. The authorities will clear out the rest. The media will leave, taking with them the magnet that draws the human debris.
Then we will have a break from this nonsense until spring. But when spring arrives the OWS will be old news and there will likely be little to no media available to cover it. The media only has so much in terms of resources and a lot of it will be involved with the primaries at that point. Summer will come and it will be too hot for a sustained protest plus again, the authorities will be motivated to keep their voters happy prior to the election and be reluctant to indulge the fetid hippies.
The spring would be the time to get the Tea Party back in gear as regards public protest. The OWS hippies will not be properly organized since a lot of them will still be in hibernation from the winter. A Tea Party demonstration on the Mall in DC would be very appropriate at that time, too, as it lines up nicely with the primaries...get people energized to throw out RINOs and stuff.
I'm still holding out for youtube videos of hippies knocked off their feet by water cannons, though. Perhaps Christmas will come early this year.

Just to put this extended adolescence into even more perspective, the average age of American troops during WWII was 26 years old. That just so happens to be the same age to which ObamaCare has mandated one remain eligible for coverage by his parents' medical insurance. I recall the same "kids" and "youngsters" language being tossed around during the unveiling of that mandate, in description of people the same age as the average American soldier of WWII.

OWS?! Dave Ramsey has some words for you. (http://www.daveramsey.com/article/dear-occupy-wall-street/lifeandmoney_economy/)
“Wealth Redistribution Is the Answer!”
I’ve heard a lot about wealth redistribution over the past few years, and I’m sure you’ve heard it too. Call it whatever you want, but this is how it usually sounds to most Americans: “We are the 99% of Americans who don’t have as much as the 1%, so we’re mad and think the government should take their wealth and property away so that I can have a piece of it. Wealth inequality is a moral breakdown! We should all spread the money around so everyone gets a fair share!”
I have my toughest critique for those who believe this: You are a thief.

The occupy wall street group needs some competition. Not from the Tea Party, though.
I don't believe these people are too bright. There is a sucker born every minute and I believe a bunch of suckers are gathered in one place. My plan is simple. A few well placed "protestors" with bull horns creating a fevered pitched hatred toward "the Rich" and "wall street"...and as the crowd reaches its loudest, said plant protestor exclaims " I don't need Wall Street Toys!!!!! I will not support thier lifesytle!!!!! Viva la PROTEST!!!! Now, said protestor needs to be carrying a few fake gadgets, so in a fit of defiance, proudly starts smashing his toys on the ground, of course screaming all the correct jargon to have the crowd join in.
make sure the cameras are rolling.

And speaking of the colossally stupid, here is the loud mouthed, leftist, lesbian who pretends to be a personal finance expert spouting off about how wonderful it is that this group is out there demanding that they get free stuff from the rich. Yes, it's the ever obnoxious Suze Orman: (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suze-orman/occupy-wall-street-approv_b_1005128.html)
I want to publicly say thank you to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Thank you for not accepting the status quo. Thank you for not assuming there is nothing to be done. Thank you for rattling the cages. Much coverage of Occupy Wall Street has cast this as the beginning of something new. That's only partly true. What I find so encouraging is that Occupy Wall Street's more important message is that this marks an end point. An end to just shrugging and putting up with the inequity. An end to patiently waiting for government to get its act together and take steps to reduce the pain felt by millions of Americans who are unemployed, the millions more who are underemployed, and the millions more again who worry that if we indeed slip into a double dip recession they will soon become unemployed. An end to letting Washington just continue further down its dysfunctional dark hole without being called out.
I never had any doubt that Suze Orman is a dim bulb but now she can add "useful idiot" to her resume. Way to go, Suze. ObamaVoter and fool. But I repeat myself.

Seen elsewhere... OccupyStarfleet:
Smelly Space Hippies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRewcZXEMb8#)
What's interesting about this (other than the dead-on accurate portrayal of idiot hippies) is the use of the word "Herbert" to shout down Kirk. It was only a few days ago that the exact same Alinsky technique was used to shout down Opie & Anthony (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/sirius-xms-opie-confronted-with-alinsky-like-tactics-at-occupy-wall-street/) using the rhymes-with-Herbert word, "pervert." Coincidence or did the writers know of Alinsky and his techniques?
Also note the "we are one" hand symbol which is the exact same O'Bama "O" hand symbol that was used in the 2008 campaign. Makes you wonder if it was merely coincidence that the hand symbols were the same or did the O'Bama worshipers copy it from the Star Trek episode thinking it to be really cool and hip 1960's crap. (Funny... no one seems to be using that zero symbol all that much now.)
(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/3620/obamabethezero.jpg)
Anyway, as you watch this excerpted episode you can almost (but thankfully not) smell the hippies.
Gene Roddenberry was a visionary in so many ways. I actually saw (and heard) him speak once when I was a teenager. I never would have guessed that he would be so right about hippies being a permanent scourge that humankind will apparently never be rid of.
The Star Trek episode has a happy ending, though, when the space hippies win the Darwin Award. We here on Earth are sadly stuck with the blight.

And, true to form, their stupidity is combined in equal measure with that classic leftist smug certainty of their unassailable command of the truth against all comers. Here, even someone who spent nearly 30 years under gen-u-ine communism in the USSR cannot get through their Iron Curtain of dumbassedness.

Yet they show up with their dumness on display for the world to see. Makes one so proud not to be there.

Damn, I crack myself up sometimes. Read Orman's post from the PuffHo (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suze-orman/occupy-wall-street-approv_b_1005128.html) if you haven't already. What a tool.
Look, we want a society where everyone strives to repay their debts. That's clear. But to single out education loans as the one type of debt that our system specifically prohibits from standard bankruptcy is flat-out wrong. We bail out the banks, but offer nothing to American families that borrowed to become more educated and competitive?
Yeah, right. We want everyone to repay their debts. Except when they borrow several hundred grand to get their kid a degree in women's studies and now they don't feel like paying it back. That's what this country was built on. But wait, she goes on to argue that point below:
Financial reform post-crisis has reduced banks' ability to collect as much fee income. So some banks have responded by announcing plans to roll out new fees to make up for the new restrictions on what they can charge for the old fees. Let's be clear, this isn't a matter of the banks being able to make payroll. What's at stake is the magnitude of their profits. They are piling on new fees to keep their outsize profits up. Sure, that's absolutely fair play in a capitalistic society. But I don't think this country was built on the fee income that gouged the little guy. Banks used to rely more on income from lending money to qualified borrowers, be it businesses or individuals. Today, the financial system seems less interested in being an intermediary in financing a growing economy and more interested in collecting fees that have absolutely no connection to participating in economic expansion. Is that really how low we're going to let the target be set? Occupy Wall Street is issuing an emphatic no. To that, I give a heartfelt, "Approved!"
This woman is either a lying shill for the socialist agenda of the White House or she is a complete idiot who cannot comprehend simple cause and effect between liberal legislation and the market. Take your pick.

Okay, guaranteed hilarity. I promise.
Go here (http://occupywallst.org/article/drumming-and-occupation/)(The official OWS website), read the article.
But for genuine laughs you have to read the comments. There is something special about hippies arguing amongst themselves about just how much anarchy is a good thing. And when there's too much anarchy then just what the heck do you do about it when one of the key principles of anarchy is "no rules" and another is "no enforcement." You can just sense their soft little heads getting ready to explode under the pressure of this self imposed conundrum.
Poor, sad hippies.
Just a little sample to whet your appetite:
tallboytooshort 5 points 8 hours ago
the drummers, bless their hearts, need to realize that we have formed a democracy and it is not anarchy down there. Unfortunately (or fortunately as the case may be), you can't do whatever you want in a democracy. We collectively agree upon a code of conduct. While we embrace "a diversity of tactics" there are certain behaviors that should not be tolerated within the camp. Drugs and alcohol and recently excessive panhandling are serious issues, but nothing is remotely as threatening to our fragile nursery community than the incessant drumming. My opinion is that if the people drumming cannot understand this, then they are not so much a part of OWS community that has formed around the GA and the political discourse, but a seperate group of people who happen to be occupying the same park for the purpose of playing drums. Unfortunately we have been too nice to the drummers and have not held them accountable to the agreement we made with the community board. If the drummers are actually part of the OWS movement and respect the GA, they would have had a million oportunities to hash out an agreement with the CB and the GA. However, from what I have noticed, most attempts to incorportate them into the dialog have been unsuccesful. I think we should hold them to two hours a day, no more (and no less?) until the situation has calmed down a bit and then a new conversation can happen.

I am sure the cops would be happy to enforce it. If they don't obey the very rules they agreed to, turn them in. Warn them first, to give them a chance to comply, but if they don't let them know you're serious. The movement must have some order and must be respectful to the neighbors and the fellow participants. Don't get me wrong, I love me some drumming, but incessant drumming is simply selfish egotism.

This should not be a matter of enforcement. This should be a matter of respect. We need to respect the drummers and their right to be drumming but they need to respect those who are sick, tired, or just in general need to rest. But please please please. Don't think of enforcement. Don't do that.

Why not?
The drummers have formed a "working group" to negotiate the manner and amount of drumming that they can do. But then there are rogue, anarchist drummers who won't go along with the working group or the general assembly's directives and pretty much drum whenever they want to which is all the time, day and night. I don't know what all the bitching is about, sleep deprivation is an integral part of brainwashing. The term, "working group" is funny, too. A regular oxymoron when it comes to hippies.
So set the blender speed to "puree." Ahead warp factor seven. Around and around they go. I sure hope that someone is filming these idiots.

Your point about the campaign commercials is a good one Trap. There is enough footage of destructive, vile behavior as well as Democrat politicians openly supporting these idiots. The two can be put together easily. I can envision many such configurations of such an ad.
The frikkin GOP needs to fight for this country, now. If they won't, then the country needs a party that will. There should be no question but that they should be seeing the opportunity these scumbags present to tarnish the enemy, and seeing it right now - strategizing right now on exactly how and when they will use this damning video footage.
The fact that we even have to wonder whether they will have the guts to use negative footage of OWS against their "friends across the aisle" shows just how far we have to go with this party, and how important it is that the people who have been pushing the Tea Party movement stay involved on the ground.
-
"The frikkin GOP needs to fight for this country, now. If they won't, then the country needs a party that will."
As long as the GOP is dominated by simpering Ruling Class pantywaists nothing will ever change, and I doubt we have any time to do a shole hell of a lot about it.
But yeah, the situation is screaming for bold action to take the fight to the enemy and crush them utterly. Talk about a ripe opportunity and target rich environment! Obama & Co are all for these moronic anarchists and we just sit around with our heads up our butts...

Moreover, concerns are growing about local complaints over the disturbances caused by protesters — including incidents of public urination and the incessant noise of the drum circle. Organizers claim to have reined in the hours during which the drummers can bang away, though some grumble about wanting to sabotage the musicians' instruments. Occupy Wall Street has the money to rent Porta-Pottys, but protesters say city authorities have so far denied them the right to set those up. “We are doing everything in our power to abide by the laws and respect our neighbors,” says Sherman Jackson, an Occupy Wall Street media representative, who adds that many on the neighborhood community board support the occupation. Still, the threat of eviction is a perennial, invisible presence in the park.

We can illegally occupy a private park, break overnight camping rules, noise ordinances,and sanitation laws, but we couldn't possibly, ever, ever consider breaking a rule about installing port-a-potties. Hey, its almost like they want to make a nusaince of themselves.

'I Lost My Virginity Today. I Was Amped For It' (http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-lost-my-virginity-today-i-was-amped.html)
From the JammieWearingFool:
At least someone will be happy when this OWS movement collapses.
One protester who left his girlfriend behind in California has "shared sleeping bags with... several women" and says, "It’s a natural human thing. It’s part of our support structure. It’s nice to have someone to care about. It’s nice to have someone to hug and kiss." As it happens, the NY Times Magazine had a photograph of two young protesters, and the 19-year-old revealed, "I’m doing well now, though. I drank six Four Lokos with Core, a beer or two. And then we ordered an iced mocha and two chicken fingers and large fries. I lost my virginity today. I was amped for it."
Some protesters are partaking in some donated condoms (though not OWS condoms)—a volunteer medic told Metropolis, "He was concerned with overpopulation. I thought he meant in the park, but I guess he meant in the world. He said, ‘Just make sure people aren’t breeding." The medic also revealed there are requests for pregnancy tests! Imagine—the occupation lasts for eight more months and there's a Zuccotti Park baby!
Well, on the upside no rapes were reported there in the past couple of days.

Much as it is profoundly in the public interest to break up these little Hobotowns, I hope they continue unimpeded. The Left has always had to disguise what it is, because when people catch a true glimpse of it they run away from it. These displays are giving people a daily eyeful of Leftism.

This is the new face of Zuccotti Park!
A deranged homeless man who has been squatting among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in lower Manhattan went on a violent, early-morning rampage yesterday, cursing incoherently and kicking down tents.
The only thing that could stop Jeremy Clinch from his Godzilla-like rampage was a left hook to the face delivered by a paranoid fellow protester who claimed to be an ex-Turkish diplomat -- and charged that his assailant was carrying out a plot hatched by Mayor Bloomberg.
“I’ve been here from Day One! I haven’t got a tent!” the Cleveland-native Clinch shrieked as he furiously kicked down tents onto sleeping protesters at about 8 a.m.
“I’ve been here for three months, and I haven’t been able to sleep!” the out-of-his-head Clinch screamed.

DENVER - Filmmaker Michael Moore became agitated when he was quizzed about his rumored $50 million-fortune during a visit to the "Occupy Denver" protest.
As Moore left the protest to go to a book signing event Thursday evening, a reporter from KCNC-TV asked if his rumored wealth made him part of the one percent the "Occupy" movement was protesting against.
"I do very well," he replied, "Because I do well, I want taxes raised on people who do well, including mine."
But when asked how he is helping the protesters with his $50 million, Moore said, "I don't have $50 million," before growing exasperated and telling the reporter, "You're just punk media is all you are. You lie. You lie to people. Stop lying to people. Stop lying."

The only thing that could stop Jeremy Clinch from his Godzilla-like rampage was a left hook to the face delivered by a paranoid fellow protester who claimed to be an ex-Turkish diplomat -- and charged that his assailant was carrying out a plot hatched by Mayor Bloomberg.
Man that is comedy gold right there, you just can't make that stuff up! lol I'm still gigglin'!
Ex-Turkish Diplomat! ::danceban::

Some activists were outraged, however, that the survey results and the infographic show Occupy Wall Street to be 81.2 percent white, and only 1.6 percent black.
Yes indeed...some Occupiers are more equal than others it seems...

Such statistics would be used ad nauseam by the media as evidence of Tea Party racism, were the statistics applicable to the Tea Party. My hunch that I would be willing to put money on is that the demographic ratio in the Tea Parties is more reflective of the nation's actual demographic.

I remembered reading somewhere before that the racial makeup of the Tea Party was on par with the racial makeup of the country. I was able to find that through Gallup.

In several other respects, however -- their age, educational background, employment status, and race -- Tea Partiers are quite representative of the public at large.
So the Tea Party's racial makeup is 79% white and the Occupy racial makeup is 81.2% white. I wonder when the mainstream press is going to take note that the Occupy movement is 'More Racist' than the Tea Party?

It’s a safe house from the sex fiends.
Zuccotti Park has become so overrun by sexual predators attacking women in the night that organizers felt compelled to set up a female-only sleeping tent yesterday to keep the sickos away.
The large, metal-framed “safety tent” -- which will be guarded by an all-female patrol -- can accommodate as many as 18 people and will be used during the day for women-only meetings, said Occupy Wall Street organizers.
First point (sarcasm ON):
So now the sexual assault problem has become so bad in the Occupy movement that they have to segregate their people...wonder how the MSM is going to take this? OMG the sky is falling! Can't have segregation! And furthermore, that's blatant sexism too! What if I'm transgendered and don't feel comfortable having to sleep out in the regular yard with the guys?!
Next point (sarcasm OFF):
If this women's only tent somehow manages to stop all the women getting raped out there in tent-land, how are they going to stop all the men from getting raped (http://www.breitbart.tv/do-not-post-deaf-man-raped-at-occupywallstreet-protest/)?
-
If NY were a concealed carry or right to carry state there would be no rape. At least not after the rapists had all been ventilated with a hollow point.
Liberal/socialist paradises.

Next point (sarcasm OFF):

Sarcasm ON:
Not their job. And anyway, men are strong, powerful predators, potential rapists all, from whom the world requires protection, even other men.
Sarcasm OFF:
See? Very little twisting and voila! the "narrative" may continue.
Ironic, actually, but a current irony of which many of today's women (and many men) fail to recognize -- cognitive dissonance strikes again! -- is women are strong and powerful and can do anything ... except when they can't. Then they have to segregate themselves, with women guards, which flies in the face of "it is our right to FEEL safe" as opposed to exercising their options to BE safe, and a further contradiction of their demand to go anywhere and everywhere, alone, at any time, dressed in any manner, drunk or sober.
It's such a muddle, it's difficult to untangle.

On Sunday, October 23, a meeting was held at 60 Wall Street. Six leaders discussed what to do with the half-million dollars that had been donated to their organization, since, in their estimation, the organization was incapable of making sound financial decisions. The proposed solution was not to spend the money educating their co-workers or stimulating more active participation by improving the organization’s structures and tactics. Instead, those present discussed how they could commandeer the $500,000 for their new, more exclusive organization. No, this was not the meeting of any traditional influence on Wall Street. These were six of the leaders of Occupy Wall Street (OWS).
The main obstacle to the creation of the Spokes Council was that the NYC-GA had already voted against it four times. One audience member observed that no organization would vote to relinquish its power. Some of the strongest proponents of the Spokes Council responded that they had taken this into account, and were planning on creating the Spokes Council regardless of whether the NYC-GA accepted the proposal. They claimed that, in the interests of non-hierarchy, neither the Spokes Council nor the General Assembly should have power over the other.
In the minutes of the teach-in on Saturday the 22nd, the leaders recognize that usurping power from the NYC-GA might make people uncomfortable. The Structure WG’s eventual proposal was to keep the General Assembly alive and functioning while the Spokes Council “gets on its feet.” Working Groups could still technically get funding through the NYC-GA, but the “GA may stop making those kinds of decisions because people [will] stop going… To officially take power away isn’t necessary,” especially because the NYC-GA works on the consensus model. A small group of people aiming to delegitimize the NYC-GA could easily attend each session merely to block every proposal. According to a member of the Demands WG, this is already occurring in several Working Groups.
To placate the rest of OWS, the Structure WG amended their original proposal and gave the NYC-GA power to dissolve the Spokes Council. This amendment is irrelevant, however, given the 90% majority requirement in the NYC-GA, and the ability of members of the Spokes Council to vote in the NYC-GA.
Indeed, some are more equal than others! Looks like the less equal useful idiots are getting a crash course in the type of government they're all screaming for...

BOSTON (CBS) – Three people arrested Thursday night inside the Occupy Boston camp have been charged with dealing crack cocaine.
WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Carl Stevens, who spent the night at the camp a few weeks ago, talked to a man who spends most nights at Occupy Boston. He said things have gone downhill.

“The Porta-Potties are overflowed, there’s piss and paper all over the seats," he said. "I have to hold my breath to go in. There are not enough of them for all of us. I’m not going to wash my hands in those water canteens they call sinks. And it just smells awful inside some parts of the camp."
"Look, our lawn is dead, our sprinklers aren't working... our trees are without water,"
“It’s gross, guys are always pissing on any tree within a one mile radius of City Hall. It’s far worse at night where they think that people can’t see them taking a sh*t in public,”
“If they try to move us, we are not going down without a fight,”
BTW, rickl apparently got pissed off with me because I was documenting things about OWS similar to the above. Took his ball and went home. I have no idea why. If you are out there rickl, please consider returning. You were a good member of this forum and your opinion was valued if not always agreed with by me.

First exit question: "Hey, real man of genius...kinda hard dealing with the whole peeing and pooping thing, eh?"
Second exit question: "And how's that head and body lice thing working out with this stunt?"
I just hope the video is rolling when the fire department shows up to deal with this one. Should be a laugh riot.
Maybe everyone will get tired of protesting in a week or two and this loser will be stuck at the park while all his friends are home playing on the xBox. Let's hope so. He probably never saw a picture from the middle ages where someone was locked in the stocks in the public square. Darwin Award nominee.

All I gotta say is...this wouldn't be tolerated on my lawn...none of it.

I'm just wondering when some enterprising person or group of people will get the idea to sue this Occupy organization. People's business' have been negatively impacted...people have been physically hurt...as a direct result of these clowns and their actions. They are known to have somewhere between 500,000 and 700,000 dollars in the bank from donations. That may well go a long way toward shoring up some of the businesses that have lost income or that have to repair damages as a result of the riots, etc or toward paying some medical costs.

Said the same thing in the Oakland thread BMG, gotta hit their support structure, which proglodyte government is a prime enabler!
Sue them into bankruptcy!
