Here's something that I found pretty interesting about your links...

We are pleased that the Anti-Defamation League agrees that some random signs “are not representative of the larger views of the Occupy Wall Street movement.”
ADL Calls On ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Organizers To Condemn Anti-Semitic Remarks Made At Rallies
New York, NY, October 17, 2011 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called on organizers, participants and supporters of the worldwide “Occupy Wall Street” movement to condemn anti-Semitic signs and comments that have appeared at some of the protest rallies across the country and around the world.
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement: We are seeing some individuals holding anti-Semitic signs at the “Occupy Wall Street” rallies, and some videos posted on YouTube from the rallies have shown individuals expressing classic anti-Semitic beliefs such as “Jews control the banks” and “Jews control Wall Street.” While we believe that these expressions are not representative of the larger views of the OWS movement, it is still critical for organizers, participants and supporters of these rallies to condemn such bigoted statements clearly and forcefully. There is no evidence that these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are representative of the larger movement or that they are gaining traction with other participants. However, history demonstrates time and again how economic downturns can embolden anti-Semites to spread malicious conspiracy theories and promote stereotypes about Jews and money. As a consequence, these statements must not be left unchallenged.
The League continues to monitor the tenor and messages at the demonstrations to ensure that they do not get hijacked by extremists or anti-Semitic elements.
That doesn't put anything to rest, when I see someone bring racist towards someone face to face it don't need a list of 15 random "Jewish leaders" to approve my feeling for me.
I belong to an interfaith group that was founded to support Occupy DC, we have several Jewish groups that are part of our interfaith group, and I am also onsite at the occupation at several times a week and have never seen anything said or done that would even remotely imply anti-Semitism.
And I'm a supporter of the Tea Party, have been since 2007. I've been to hundreds of Tea Party events and never once saw anyone say or hold signs that said anything remotely racist. That didn't stop the media from labeling the Tea Party a racist movement, nobody cared that it was only a few people out of hundreds of thousands that were holding questionable signs... nobody cared.
Enjoy the treatment that many of the OWS supporters dished out towards the Tea Party, enjoy being labeled something you claim you aren't.
A link to Breitfart's ultra-right wing propaganda site? It's expected.
It's quotes from the anti-defamation league...
Hey *******s, How can we as a country work to educate the urban, ghetto trash of this nation so that they learn to not only read but also comprehend what they're reading?
I fail to see what your video has to do with the occupy movement, you are going to have to do a lot better than that.
I'm sure you can do a lot better than that, but then again maybe not.
In any event don't quit your day job, that is if you do have one.
Slight problem: There is not enough gold in the world to back up all the multi-trillians of fiat paper money in circulatian. If we went back to the gold standard, all of the money people have today would immediately lose most if not all of its value.
