Amazing that suddenly without warning crowds of people spontaneously appeared to protest Wall St.

The call went out from the organizers and the rabble showed up....oh there is a story here to be told and it will be interesting but not surprising.

Van Jones, move on.org, seiu, the labor unions.....give me a break.

And I think that these "99%ers" are probably 1% of the population. Not only that, they are losers, who would never have a dime no mater what opportunity came their way, because they are lazy.

They call themselves the "99 percenters" - alluding to the supposed one percent of rich people who control the country.

But as Michelle Malkin points out to the Daily Caller, "When Occupy Wall Street activists call themselves the '99 percent,' it turns out they mean 99 percent non-diverse (by their own politically correct measurements)." Malkin notes that:

One thing you won't hear the MSM harp on the way they harped about the Tea Party: The overwhelmingly pale face of the "99 percent" movement. Just like their ideological elders in the liberal media, they are a lot more skilled at carping over lack of proportional representation among conservative institutions and the GOP than they are at demonstrating it in their own ranks.

Is black America sitting out 'Occupy Wall Street'?

Are the Wall Street protests racist and anti-semitic? - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

Occupy Wall Streets organizers admit lack of diversity is a problem for them (http://weaselzippers.us/2011/10/05/“occupy-wall-street”-protesters-share-one-common-trait-almost-all-are-white-organizers-admit-lack-of-diversity-a-problem/ - broken link)
Maybe the nitwit (Malkin) can call Affirmative Action and have some minorities shipped in to a PROTEST!...LOL!

This proposal is not different than any of the others. Example: The Food Safety Modernization Act was NOTHING about "food safety", rather, if you actually READ THE BILL it should have been called the " Government terrorizes small organic farmers, back yard gardeners and lemonade stands to take control of the food supply Act"

There was a major demonstration this morning here in Philadelphia, in front of City Hall in Dilworth Plaza. About 1,000 people showed up by noontime.

Curious, (mostly) all the protestors in Los Angeles are hispanic and black.




It looks fairly diverse to me. It also seems that the protest on the east coast is for different reasons that the protest on the west.
In LA, they want the banks to bail out the poor home owners who got loans for homes they couldn't afford and to rebuild inner city neighborhoods.

Maybe we should be investing in Coleman and LL Bean

Of course they will. These people are getting money from somewhere. They aren't what they claim to be.

I have seen tons of footage from protests in and outside of NYC. There are a fair amount of protesters who are not White.
