UPDATE -- "Employ the 99%" has canceled their counter-protest to Occupy DC on Thursday. (http://wmal.com/Article.asp?id=2315213 - broken link)

Sounds like they've been taking lessons from "half-term governor" Sarah Palin!

Or to use Woody Allen's old quote: "90 percent of life is just showing up".

LOL! What a joke. Looks like these right wing nutcases bailed after they found out they actually had to get off their lazy rears to spread their trash, not just to keep trolling internet forums

Great idea. Of course, most of these miscreants and malcontents already have jobs...or had a job before deciding to join the "revolution".

But let's see how many of them are interested in applying for work if they need a job.

You know, everytime I see this on the news I think one thing. All these people who have been standing out there protesting and sleeping in tents all this time, COULD be out there looking for JOBS.

Think of all the time they have missed, and possibly the opportunities!

Talk about Ironic.....

Many of them have jobs.

My job didn't help getting cancer 4 months after starting my first professional job at 23. And I was one of the lucky ones - I had a job, health insurance, no debt, and a little savings and I'm still concerned about to pay rent and bills.

Most people, even the middle class, are one medical emergency or diagnosis away from devastation. OWS is standing for them too.

In other words, undercover Republicans who think it's patriotic for the Tea Party to protest the government but treasonous for liberals to protest Wall Street.

Well jeez, it sure must be nice to have a job that will allow you to take time off to go protest and sleep in the streets.

They aren't right wing they are the left wing nut cases. They want the government to give them a free ride. They think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. Right wingers will at least work if given a reasonable opportunity.
