I saw an organizer of the event say that they are mostly "anarchists and revolutionaries." then heard him say that they don't WANT reform, they want a totally new system. Hmmm.....they are destructive, not reformers and they do NOT speak for 99% of us.
They clearly are "organized" behind the scenes by the Subversives in the White House. BO needs our country to look as if "average citizens" are uprising against the things he can't stand, like Capitalists, so that focus is on them and off of him and his lame, empty-suit, "puppet leadership."
Most likely, this OWS and other streets is a Van Jones creation, and he is a proud, self-proclaimed Communist.
Ann Coulter is one of the most divisive and mean-spirited political commentators in the country. Most Americans don't like her, so I don't think her opinion means much.
A young belligerent union member hurls anti-Semitic remarks at an old Jewish man. These people actually believe they represent 99-percent of the population and this fool claims to be enlightening people intellectually
I'm confused. The title is plural (protestors), however the body refers to only one person. Are you (and/or your source) suggesting that the one person represents the whole?

It's ok they are on the left as I was told today on the news. There will probably be no outrage from the left either.
I really wish OWS would shut up and crawl back into the woodwork. They are going to be in for a huge shock when they learn that they are only giving Herman Cain a bigger platform to promote policies that will bite them in the rear.
They are promoting class warfare and they are not in a morally defensible position to do so.
It wasn't "protesters", it was one kid out of thousands of people. And that kid, who said he was Jewish, told a Jewish guy to go back to Israel because the older guy told the kid to get a job, when he already had one. Not exactly a Mel Gibson rant.
Well, no, not just one kid. There is another thread with several videos. This isn't isolated.
Anti-Semitism has a way of rearing its ugly head just before the world turns upside down and inside out. History indeed repeats itself.You can choose to deny or be part of the solution. Some people will not let the Holocaust happen again.
The protestors are representing the 99% that are not part of the 1%. The 1% control the politics and wealth in the U.S.
Like it or not if you are not part of 1% you are the 99%. We are in this together. My guess is that everyone who is posting on this board is part of the 99%.
I'm not seeing anyone asking for handouts, I'm just seeing people not wanting the infrastructure their taxes paid for, used by corporate interests that don't contribute to the commonwealth.
The main reason our effective corporate tax rates are so low is because our marginal corporate tax rates are so high.
International corporations realize profits in nations where taxes are low. If you want the US to be the most cost prohibitive game in town, don't whine about jobs going overseas and heavily subsidized corporations like GE paying zero US taxes.

If you paid for 39% of the pie you'd be contributing to the republic.
