Your not at fault the second amendment guarantees your right to possess a firearm. However behavior of the type Catawba is referring to is slightly more indicative of violence than the wall street occupation.

Indicative of violence? What does that mean?

What violence most are familiar with, or threats of violence, have come from Acorn members and Union thugs,

I don't think "those spoiled brats occupying Wall Street" want anything from you. They are the representatives of frustration. No jobs for them. No opportunities. No money to pay their loans back. OTOH that is not likely the majority of persons at the Wall Street prtoests. Their numbers swelled by thousands on the weekend when the working stiffs, with jobs, could get days off to participate.

Have you ever watched these people speak, or looked at the signs they're carrying?

They've taken stupidity to entirely new levels. Who want want to hire any one of them?

It doesn't have to do with whether or not it was reported on; it has to do with how it was reported, i.e. it was treated as a bottom-up mass grassroots movement when in reality it is a top-down, corporate-funded, vertically organized and hierarchical farce.

Who were these corporations and how were MSNBC and the others involved? Where are these 'grass roots stories' from MSNBC?

Please post because I haven't found any site with messed up signs. They actually come across as pretty articulate.

The Tea Party was begun with a broadcast on CNBC. Their first protests were promoted by FauxNews and funded by republican PACs
 
What if...? said:
It was definitely a site for the protest, but the "demands" were a post on a board. And note the word "proposed".

Just like taking a post from HERE and presenting it as the goals of the board itself.

I dunno, it seems to match up with everything else I've seen people present as demands.
 
Khayembii Communique said:
No it's not. I said "real," as in "really". You deny that there is a significant extreme right wing that is mostly white, male, racist and xenophobic?
Click to expand...

Yes I deny it. Just as I deny the left wing is mostly totalitarian, racist, communistic and utopian brain washing fanatics.
 
Since everybody has to make a living to eat and survive, who is paying the bills for these people to stand out there for weeks?

Some of the younger ones don't look old enough to have worked enough time to earn unemployment, so how are these people surviving?

Another thing, if capitalism is gone, how will they buy their next video game? They won't have the money for it nor will it be on sale because the company will be gone.

What violence??? Your article mentions no violence being carried out by protestors. I've not even heard of a threat of violence, like protestors wearing guns, as we saw in the teaparty rallies.

So to you wearing a gun (legally) is considered "violence"?

They are not very bright whiners and complainers having a temper tantrum because daddy government won't give them a job which suits their qualification fantasies. Get a degree in Victorian poetry, psychology, or political philosophy and the job opportunities are going to be slim. But these people don't appear to have much education in any area.

Well, it's largely knid of silly, and I do worry about anyone who would wear one. The head can't be that clear. :coffeepap

They can't refute the OWS protestors arguments, so they have to make up stuff in order to attack the messengers

The fact is, the wingnuts agree with many of the OWS protesters complaints (ex Wall St bailouts, bank foreclosing on houses without having title, outsourcing, etc)

So CNBC should not have reported on it?

Do you feel there was a conspiracy theory here and, if so, where is the evidence?

What an intelligent response.

Do you actually have an answer or is it enough to attack me?

I saw some interviews where that was the message. To end capitalism.

And where are the members of the Tea Party? These are just people carrying signs.

If you want information on the Tea Party you should go to their website.
