Why is it so difficult for the left to understand that a lot of conservative do not see the OWS as a threat? We are not wringing our hands in agony or fear,.....just laughing at the childishness and ignorance of the protesters.

I can see why Obama would feel right at home with OWS,....he's thinking about ways to get it "organized".

All the protesters want is a bigger, more intrusive government. Thankfully there are no protests around our area, so we don't have to avoid a bunch of liberal malcontents.

Are you done tripping over the Tea Parties?

Really, how did Obama get elected?

How can I "trip" over something that is not there? Not a Tea Party member,....but keep on swinging that club. Maybe you'll get lucky and hit something after a while.

First of all,...there wasn't much of a choice. Secondly, Obama made some really great promises,....that he hasn't kept.

The rats have been leaving the Obama ship for months now. Watch and learn.

Those people are not out there for either Left or Right purposes. They are there because they feel they have no Representation from either Party. They blame Wall Street for buying the Politicians and the Politicians for eagerly allowing it. Get used to it, I have a feeling it's going to grow.

Their demands sound far-left-wing though.
