Can someone here tell me how they got so organized and where they got the money to print that newspaper they are passing around? Somehow I don't see how all those unemployed kids with all that debt bought a printing press that could print in 4 colors.

This is coming through on the internet as we learn more:

‘Economic terrorist’ Behind Wall Street protests? Radical’s plan: ‘Bring down stock market’ ‘Literally cause a new financial crisis’.
Stephen Lerner, a controversial anti-Capitalist SEIU organizer, is one of the forces behind the protests on Wall Street and nationwide, according to quotes obtained by a socialist activist who doubles as a Washington Post columnist.
KleinOnline was first to report, Lerner was the brainchild of some of the economic protest templates being used by the Occupy Wall Street campaign.
Lerner recently laid out a mass economic protest plan intended to bring down the stock market. Lerner boasted his plan could be used to cause a new financial crisis. Lerner’s ideology prompted some conservative critics to go so far as to label him an economic terrorist.
Writing in the Washington Post on Tuesday, columnist Harold Meyerson, Vice-Chair of Democratic Socialists of America, quoted Lerner describing how a coalition of various groups are fomenting the current economic protests. Lerner described himself as part of those groups, referring to the organizations behind the demonstrations as “we.”

Just think how furious Jesus must be when he views the activity on Wall Street. I bet he's jumping up and down in rage, tearing the hair from his head, and promising to send all those protestors to hell.

I don't, but their parents probably have to. I feel sorry for the parents.

So, if we divided all the money equally, how long do you think that would last? Those with the drive would still push forward and those without would again fall behind.

Default Stinking up Wall Street:demonstrator defecating on a POLICE CAR

Quote:
Exclusive pictures obtained by Mail Online show one demonstrator relieving himself on a police car.

Elsewhere we found piles of stinking refuse clogging Zucotti Park, despite the best efforts of many of the protestors to keep the area clean.

The shocking images demonstrate the extent to which conditions have deteriorated as demonstrations in downtown Manhattan enter their fourth week.

Filthy liberals. That is just disgusting. I should be shocked but this is exactly the kind of behavior I would expect from the Marxists in the crowd. Liberalism is a movement; a bowel movement quite literally.
