D.C. occupiers convene, plot to stay the winter

This week's WaPo featured a scurvy fellow from Occupy DC who, also, plans to live in Freedom Plaza until spring.

He's the supplier of tobacco for all the other scurvs, I mean, strong Americans who aren't going to take it from the rich folks any more.

Interesting.

Writers like Michelle Malkin seized on how "white" the OWS protests were, and for a few days it was all the rage for conservatives to point out the lack of minorities.... and now it's a problem that the protests are trying to diversify....

Please pick a position and stick with it consistentlY!

I don't care about Michelle Malkin, whoever that is...I stick to my point 100%, anyone making decisions to specifically exclude someone based on their race, sex, or any other personal trait like that is a despicable human being.

No, New York City is the gay/minority capital of the US, not San Fran. New York has as many gays as the entire population of San Francisco.

I happen to agree.

But there are many who exploit both sides of the coin on the "face" of the OWS movement.... too white, not white enough, etc.

Since when do large groups of homosexuals actually get anything accomplished in America? Last I heard, you folks were fighting for a voice that you claim you don't have.

What gives?
