Thread: Occupy wall street

Not getting a lot of coverage. Not surprising given the corporate nature of the media. Discuss

No one cares about dirty hippies protesting the wrong people.

I admire what they are doing but their list of demands are too scatter-shot.
I believe we need to start with Serious Campaign finance reform. Eliminating corporate money from politics as much as possible, and be willing to take to the streets and burn shit down to prove we are serious...then and only then will the political landscape change

Because of citizens united we will never get campaign finance reform. It's not just hippies. The bankers and wall street are the real enemy.

it was like 150 people. When you do see it on the news, it will be referred to as "the million man protest"

I did here that Susan Sarandon pulled up in a limo to show her support before flying to Paris.

If those people were behaving and going to work like everyone else that would have never happened.

LOLz...

Not at your post - it was unfunny. I do find it funny that people can be as stupid as you, though.

Kind of like the exaggeration of numbers by the rightwing "news" agencies, when the teabaggers marched in DC?

Yeah.

Given the circumstances of their being "slightly naughty" and not apparently gainfully and gratefully earning minimum wage for some mega-corp personhood they can count themselves Xtremely lucky that Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna didn't just pull out his side arm and shoot them in the fucking face.

Buster,
You should know by now most of these people in here don't put any effort into finding actual facts otherwise they wouldn't be off quoting foxnews or cnn all the time.

Right outside my office. Their parents must be so proud.....

There's probably some pro bono work in there for you. Could be good publicity.

Also, that first video is hysterical.

Hard to arrest 700 people with only 150 in attendance.

They are (for the most part) smelly morons. They make liberals look bad. The media doesn't want that.

It's like I've always said - the ability to laugh at yourself will get you through tough times.
