Eta: to date it has not been tried in a court, for that matter that it was in fact an OWS'r that raped anyone. Easy, real easy to make an accusation but hard to prove it.
Just as calling the Tea Party racists is hard to prove. Especially since we placed so many minority candidates in the 2010 elections.

Let's see how many OWS candidates you get elected. LOL

Talk to me when they act peacefully and lawfully.
The koch brothers paid for all that. Its that simple. The tea party has the backing of super rich right wingers. Of coarse they are going to get all those things.

The Tea Party will be a strong voice in the upcoming election and there will be many candidates running as Tea Party candidates.

Where are your OWS candidates?

In the mean time, we're busy working and paying our taxes.
Don't forget the tea party didn't sexually assault others.

And let us not forget how there are some tp groups through the country who have now joined in with ows as they feel there are many similarities.

So let's all reconvene when everyone has the facts and acts together.
Keep reaching.

* The top 0.1% earn as much as 150 million Americans.
* The 6 members of the Walton family (WalMart) earn as much as 93 million Americans.
* The top 400 richest Americans pay about 16% in federal income taxes - lower than most workers.
"Mindless topic of deficit reduction"?! Are you mindless?

Let's say you're right.

Shouldn't George soros be able to recruit someone?

They blamed the "inclimate weather" for no one showing up (it was overcast and drizzling)
Not surprising the teabaggers are a bunch of wusses that can't even risk getting their blue hair wet
Is this discussion about the Tea Party,....or the Occupy movement?

Why can't you discuss the Occupy topic without reference to the Tea Party?

Nothing to talk about?

Leaderless?

Whiners without a clue?

All the occupoopers are takers,....not a giver among them.

Further, if OWS was making no impact....you would not have lobbyists scrambling to shut them up, the gangster banksters whining stop picking on us, the re-consideration of GS act being brought back into law, the in-direct impact they are making on Ron Paul's campaign and his boost.

Nor would the nay-sayers such as here on CD spend some much effort and energy on them.

They are beginning to wake up people as to what is truly going on in this country, people are pissed and now are seeing just why exactly they are pissed.

People whine and cry, where are their candidates......that is what you all/they are missing, the country does not need one more candidate we have enough of those leeches what we need is reform and how politics is run and that is what OWS is about in part.

Forget it alphamale, this guy sees racism in a bowl of cornflakes.
