Wow, even though no main reason has yet been stated for the protest, The numbers of protesters has surpassed the number of US troops stationed in foreign countries, that's not a small #.

No definition of why the protest is being done just to keep the gun nuts from having something to set their sights on. Bangbang!

"According to Addicting Info, two women involved with the Occupy Santa Cruz movement in California walked into a Bank of America branch earlier this week and attempted to close their bank accounts. In response, the bank manager threatened to lock the doors and call the police on them. Her reasoning? You can't be a customer and a protester at the same time, the manager said." HuffPost

We know that Obama is embracing them too and it's all orchestrated by every one of Obama's allies. Van jones, SEIU, ACORN and Wade Rathke, code pink. Come on dood, you can't hide this stuff these days because we have all the video of these people planning this thing for the last year or 2. It's all the same old croud and all you have to do is inform yourself. You can't deny it when you hear them say it. Most people are too busy to look into it and the state controlled media isn't goin to tell you. Read Drudge and the Blaze. Glenn Beck's been talking about this for 2 years now, showing us the tapes of these radical revolutionaries talking about this in their own words. Obama's right in the middle of it

This guy's name is Edward T. Hall III. He is what is commonly known as a "trust fund-baby." In other words, his wealthy relatives set up a fund for him and all he has to do is sit pretty without ever having to work.

In other words, everything this kid has ever gotten has been handed to him on a silver platter. He is part of the "1%" that he is supposedly protesting.

You may also know that Hall was arrested for trying to "crawl through the baggage carousel" at JFK airport.

I have no doubt you could get a real picture of a Democrat office holder and a communist party member in the same frame. Maybe even talking to each other, but that picture sure looks photoshopped.

“You'd be amazed to see how many communists and socialists were actively supporting civil rights, and opposing lynching back in the day. Radical professors were holding forums and teach ins against segregation laws, opposing child labor. Communists and socialists even supported Martin Luther King.

And - socialists and communists were among the most vocal and early voices against Adolf Hitler and the KKK.

Back in the day, people used red-baiting to try to discredit anti-facist campaigning, Martin Luther King, the civil civil rights movement, etc.”

This whole episode to me underscores an unpleasant development for OWS. There is going to be a fusillade of attempts from many different corners to force these demonstrations into the liberal-conservative blue-red narrative.

This will be an effort to transform OWS from a populist and wholly non-partisan protest against bailouts, theft, insider trading, self-dealing, regulatory capture and the market-perverting effect of the Too-Big-To-Fail banks into something a little more familiar and less threatening, i.e. a captive "liberal" uprising that the right will use to whip up support and the Democrats will try to turn into electoral energy for 2012.

Tactically, what we'll see here will be a) people firmly on the traditional Democratic side claiming to speak for OWS, and b) people on the right-Republican side attempting to portray OWS as a puppet of well-known liberals and other Democratic interests.



This sounds oddly familiar....almost as if something very similar has happened in recent years.

So when I see the mostly young people of Occupy Wall Street – a mixture of the bored, the nihilistic, the seekers of excitement, the left-wing true believers, the confused idealists and those hoping to engage in violence – railing against the rich capitalists on Wall Street, I get worried. Because the hatred they express toward the rich is similar to that expressed against the rich by Stalin, Mao and Pot Pot. Of course, these people are not comparable to those killers. But class hatred must lead to bad things. That is why President Obama is playing with fire with his attacks on the rich.

The rate on the top tax bracket was never below 70% from 1940 to 1980.

We had a growing middle class and sufficient infrastructure investment to build an economy that was the envy of the world.

Can you define what you think is a "fair share" or are you afraid to take a position on anything?
