This is ironic, hilarious and just what you'd expect from this bunch.

What's wrong?

The little tent city, with it's own rules and regs not quite working out for these anti-capitalists?

I hope Mayor Bloomberg gets an injunction and demands to see the movement’s books.

Oh, it is indeed.

Organizers hoped it would attract new recruits -- even as some long-timers complained that the movement was getting too diffuse after yesterday’s lackluster showing at a police-brutality event in Union Square that barely attracted 50 participants.
I'd say the novelty is wearing off and THIN.

Lord of the Flies

So when is Bloomberg going to turn "adult" and end this fiasco.
Protesting is one thing and they should be able to do that but taking over a park like a bunch of squatters is another matter and should not have been allowed.

Since this is from NY Post, doubtful there is much veracity to it. But, I can see it might be more difficult with this group. If it were a group of, say 100 Repubs, no problem. 50% to one, 30% to 2 more and the rest strewn about to 97 of them. Simple.

Darlings who are 18 years old and grew up in pink bedrooms .. all hate their parents. They (their parents) don't have tatooes on their crotches and just don't understand how Socialism is the best way to move forward.



I'm for Lady GaGa politics. All people will be able to live comfortably. Mom will you pay my cell phone bill?

It's good that people in their twenties don't want to pay for anything. That's a sure fire way to get the economy going.

They have nearly $500,000 in the bank.
They are reluctant to share.
As Pogo said; "We have met the enemy and he is us.".

Right, right. Even though there are actual quotes from some and this is not the first newspaper that has published the trials and tribulations the OWS protesters are having in setting up their own economic system.

Don't like the message, cast doubt on the messenger.
The numbers you stated seem to be working for OWS protesters as well.

It's getting to be that Huffpost is the ONLY site that prints facts these days.
Every other news site is making up stories.

Got to love it.

Yikes!!!!! Sounds like the Finance Committee is acting like part of the 1% and creating its own little bank.

The need and support for stopping corporate America from dominating politics is diminishing?
