Shhhhh...she doesn't want to read, hear or see just how much this bowel movement is pissing people off.

The occupy bowel movement - winning hearts and minds by costing people jobs and income. Great job!

Obviously, you won't acknowledge hearing or reading "words" that don't fit with your.....perception of this runny bowel movement.

So the truckers and other workers upset about losing work and pay are lying?

My god, you are all in here.

When not ONE union organization supports your action...that's big trouble.

Even worse, is they run around shouting "union busting", while they sit there and block union employees from doing their work

Truck drivers are paid by mile, if they block them from transporting work, they are hurting the 99%, not the 1%

stupid, stupid protestors

They are truly STUPID, absolutely clueless. They have no idea what/who/why they are protesting.

It's all good though for next year - a lot of democrats have hitched their wagons to these filthy scum...that should do wonders come election time.

It's pretty obvious these people are losing the PR war, losing the numbers, losing the sympathy they had at one time.

That's the funniest piece of Leftist propaganda I ever read!! All the truck drivers that come through my part of the port complain about all the new environmental laws and regulations that forces them to constantly refurbish or even replace their trucks, none of them whine, "We desperately want to drive clean and safe vehicles. Rigs that do not fill our lungs with deadly toxins, or dirty the air in the communities we haul in ." LOL!!

I just can not figure out OWS. Occupy Cleveland?!? Occupy Allentown!?! The CEO of Key Bank in Cleveland is a big fish in a smallish pond but hes a minnow compared to the sharks on Wall Street.

Outside of NYC and DC... There just are not that many multi billion dollar earning hedge fund managers/ HIGH level bankers/ politician bum kissers of the first 2 I mentioned.

Call yourself something that has fairly high generic appeal then diffuse into every liberal cause in existence.

Awww...cut them some slack. It was raining. Fighting economic injustice just as activists fought for civil rights in the '60s is better done on sunny days!!

20 years ago you might have gotten away with paying 30 to 40K for new truck outfitted. Around 2000 my Uncle purchased a new oil truck and If I remember correctly it was 50K. Today that truck is 100K. These aren't large trucks but small ones. Plus there is the ridiculous amount of expenses to maintain all this new equipment. It's one of the reasons I "retired".
