Gosh--and I thought it had more to do with the millions of dollars the Koch brothers pumped into campaigns, and the millions upon millions more that groups like American's for prosperity put into media/TV time. There's no reason to sugar coat it--it is what it is. Rallies with 100 people at a shot and one or two big protests in DC didn't make diddly squat of an impact on the election--it was all about the money.

Yep. The dirty sanchezers are a distraction from the fact that Obama got the biggest campaign donations handed out by companies like Exxon.

Nonsense. The out of control spending of obama and the dems, shoving obamacare down this country's throat and the failed stimulus were the reasons why the dems lost the House in an historic election.

Possibly.

More likely it'll become all of the below:

A textbook for the school system (nationwide).

Required reading in front of children by presidents.

Purchased en masse by the State Department.

A manual (like 'Rules for Radicals).

A holy book that will create mass killings if violated by the undeserving.

The difference between sophisticated dissent and barbaric anarchy.
The difference between complacency and contempt.

The Left and the media would like you to think this is a big wave movement, a huge deal, but in fact, outside of OWS, where you have a few hundred moping around, the rest of the cites are negligible in numbers.

Occupy Wall Street: The Book -- Daily Intel



Uh..no, you fool. OWS hasn't changed a thing, in fact, it has cemented what we've all known about the far left, socialists, commies, anarchists and anti-capitalists, marxists - one in the same.

Now, if they happen to do what the TP did, usher in a WAVE election of historic proportions, maybe then they can claim something about changing America.

These people are really living in a fantasy world. They actually think the average American is behind them. Funny, I don't see their numbers swelling, in fact, they are dissipating rapidly.

This is just downright embarrassing.
Does it have a yellow and black cover, with "For Idiots" somewhere in the title?

Making money by selling a book about people who hate wall street. It makes the capitalist in me proud.

I wonder if the OWS folks see the irony in this.

Michael Moore had to resort to non-sequitur humor to deflect on that twitter question during Piers Morgan.
