It's interesting to see how these Socialists run their own Micro-Society.

No place to urinate. Walk around in their own squalor. Poop on cop cars and beat drums.

They hate banks yet they took out student loans.


Utopia is right around the corner.

And $500K in the bank and they won't spend "their money".

It was surely just a matte of time until these kooks turned on each other. The hard core loons pulling the week long duty watch the weekend warriors come in to squat on their squat and all hell breaks loose. Probably upset some uppity college punk with an ipad from mommy and daddy isnt' sharing their internet connection will cause full blown chaos soon.

What's wrong?

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

Tensions grow at Occupy Wall Street as money and power struggles fester behind-the-scenes - NYPOST.com



Oh, it is indeed.



I'd say the novelty is wearing off and THIN.

Sorry that I can't rep you again.

The OWS protesters are a parody of themselves. It is hilarious.

Let's see their "resolve" when the weather turns cold. Protesting and raising hell is fun, but only in nice weather.

Ok, here's a good one...and proof of what the Pollsters will do to convince you these nuts are supported by everyday Americans.

AP-GfK Poll: 37 percent of public back protests - Boston.com (http://articles.boston.com/2011-10-21/business/30306818_1_protests-tea-party-politics - broken link)

AP-GfK Poll: 37 percent of public back protests

But wait!

Look what they had to do to get even that low of a number.

Quote:
It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,000 adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The poll included 384 respondents who said they were supporters of the Wall Street protests.
So.....they had to PAD the poll with KNOWN OWS supporters and even then, got less of a percentage in support of OWS than they included to pad the poll.

Instead of polling "normal" Americans, probably for fear of what the number would look like, they just had to include a THIRD of respondents that were already supporters. Amazing example of smoke and mirrors.

Food for thought--The New York post is owned by Rupert Murdock (of phone hacking fame, soon to probably go to prison) who stands to lose a whole lot if OWS makes gains with working toward publicly financed campaigns and getting big business out of elections--right now he runs 24 hour free campaigns for corporate candidates on FOX. The NY Post makes FOX news look like NPR. Sometimes it helps to consider the source of your information.

Is the IRS there to collect yet? Or, will OWS get a pass just like Obama's Treas. Sec. tax cheat Timmy Geithner? It would seem OWS is turning into a for profit movement and that protestors are recieving what could be considered taxable benefits. Will OWS be issuing W-2s?

Looks as if the lefties see it this way....ALL of the money to those in control and leave the rest to beg for their simple needs.

Sounds exactly like the liberal policies we've been implementing over the last 8 decades to me.
