I will admit OWS got out of hand at times, but I think there were a lot of homeless people,etc. mixing it up. I think their frustration, namely that we are being fleeced by the financial sector was very understandable.

How about just acting like sensible people for a change. Enough of the squatting, bong smoking, and phony patriotism.

That was my point.
Lol Aren't homeless people part of the 99%? In fact, aren't they the 99% of the 99%? Do you not care about them? Unlike the Occupy terrorists, they do not have their parent's basement or dorm rooms to go to at night, or pcs and ipads to play with, and can not afford that daily dose of Starbucks.

Did you not know that it is politically incorrect to mention the "homeless" while a Democrat occupies the White House?

The "homeless" are only to be mentioned when a Republican occupies the White House. I am certain NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN sent you copies of the memorandum.

The Tea Party is majority about real America and Americans.

OWS is a minor group of bums who like their hero who stuck a cameraman in the neck with a pencil are mainly losers who are just a bunch of slobs who wont even take a bath.

The OWS is what Obama described them as yesterday. A bunch of lazy asses who are criminals, thugs and welfare cases who just want hand outs.

You did not see rapes, killings, drug overdoses etc at the TP Rallies.

The homeless are below the standards of the occupiers. They tried to get some food from the collective and all hell broke loose. The liberal utopia unless your not one of them of course.

That's why they're not in the news.

Right. No violence, no throwing rocks. no breaking laws, no defecating and no rapes w/Tea Party

I opt for the tea party anyday over OWS andf a bunch of children who are probably supported by mommy and daddy. [I bet they'd even feed the poor.]

No lice, no ringworm, no TB, no shingles, no STDs, no turning public areas into cesspools. Very boring for the media to cover compared to a OWS landfill.

Can we just get back to being sane, informed citizens for while?

I am getting annoyed with all this outrage.

Moderates rule, radicals drool!
Lol, I have yet to meet a moderate. Please give me the moderate position on abortion, death penalty, same sex marriage...........

A lot of the OWS here in New Orleans are the same drug using gutter punks I've seen running around the French Quarter for years.

I see one on St Claud Av everyday holding a sign asking for money to travel home. She's been on this corner over three years. The only traveling she's doing is to her heron connection after getting money from idiots who fall for her BS.

I always question those who consider themselves to be "moderate" or "in the middle".

Being in the middle of the Republican and Democratic parties is useles. How is taking some things from a terrible party and other things from another terrible party beneficial? Its time so called moderates to look to the third parties in a serious manner. It is time America does things differently.
