During last week's RNC convention, it was reported there were few protesters, around 100 people or so from OWS, but that is just a drop in a bucket compared to the DNC.

OWS has shown up in droves to protest against Obama and the democrats, with reports of 800-1,000 people and growing, and the DNC hasn't even started.

It's been well known that OWS has no political affiliation and protests both sides of the isle, however to the brainwashed right wingers, the right wing propaganda machine has spread lies and tried to paint OWS as radical left wing socialist/communist/marxist/anarchist Obama lovers.

I wonder how fox and the right wing propaganda machine is going to spin this one,..

OWS is not trying to be re-elected. OWS is so far to the left, that even Obama seems conservative to them. The reason they are there in force is that they seem to think they will have an impact on the liberal left, where they wouldn't on the conservative right.

Your poll misses a few options. The one I would pick is, "Fox News will Mention once or twice OWS, but will be indifferent to OWS, there are more important things to report on."

I have supported their basic position since it's start. To call others brainwashed though when so many that claim to support their ideas but will vote for someone that is doing the opposite is a bit foolish.

Completely forget to add that one to the poll

"Fox will report that OWS is so far to the radical left, they think Obama is a hard right republican"

Those aren't protesters...they are supporters!

Quote:
With Bank of America’s headquarters and a big Wells Fargo outpost rooted in the city, Wingfield saw the place as being taken over by bankers. “The banks were so omnipresent,” Wingfield remembers thinking when she moved to Charlotte. “I felt like we were surrounded by yuppies.”
Yuppies....is that what she calls people that bathe?

Quote:
“I was in the fetal position before Occupy started,” Wingfield says, only half-jokingly. Her rough acclimation to Charlotte caused her bipolar disorder to hit hard -- so hard that it prevented her from working. The Occupy movement became a relief, an outlet, for her and other local activists.
Bi-polar disorder....explains much.
