Wood bought from Lowe's and poster board bought at CVS and brought to you by Twitter.

The war would have ended even if hippies did not show up to cheer for the North. Had they not supported our enemies, the outcome would likely have been better for the millions murdered on the peninsula following our departure.

I don't understand what the protests are able to accomplish. Standing in the street with a sign in your hand doesn't take a nickle out of the elite's pockets. They are probably laughing. The time and place to effectively protest is at the voting booth in November 2013. Vote out ALL incumbents. Every one of them.

The only thing I support is their right to peacefully protest.

Are these people using their vacation/sick time to be able to take off work?
How can those that are students be away from class this long?

I have yet to read their manifesto, only the "list of demands"from that crazy guy.

hell, it looks like the Russian Revolution of 1917 where the have nots were taking it out on the haves, wanting an end to the current political and financial system in favor of a more equal system.
LOL study history much? If this looked like the Red revolution they'd have the support of the Military and lots of guns....Lets see what happens when the get a Kent State redux!!!!!!! That will get some things to pop around here!

Maybe, those not so young are reminiscing their good olé' days in the 60's, when they hated government. Now they love their President Obama and hate the rich...........some how they are leaving out Hollywood.

They are protesting "The Man"...but they don't know who "The Man" is, or at least can't agree on who he is.

A bunch of spoiled trustafarians that's why this movement has little legs beyond the loony Left.
Most Black folks cannot afford to sit on the street for weeks at a time.

Absolutely. She is simply a horrible human being.

Default Occupy Wall Street is and astroturf operation!

"TheDC asked that organizer whether he was paying the group to attend the protest, and he conceded that some protesters “aren’t” volunteers.

“Some of them are volunteers. Some of them aren’t,” he explained. “I can’t identify them. I’m not going to get into an identification game.”"

Is there any doubt this scam is part of Obama's re-election effort?
