    Laughable. This coming from Non-OWS people who want to tell everyone else what OWS is about - oh and DON"T pay attention to any evidence to the contrary!
    Funny how you have all scurried from the issues discussed though.

    Honestly, it is blatantly obvious these OWSers, (and their non affiliated promoters) want to throw rocks at a corrupt system and not hit any of the corrupt on the left while doing so. It is why they are not chanting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    "Then 60 years later, the banks and companies that bought and paid for Republican Senators BillGramm, Jim Leach and Tom Bliley..."

    Odd, I thought Mr. Clinton, the Democrat, didn't need any arm twisting for that bill. Not mentioned at all mysteriously by the OP, just the Repubs. ;-)

    I understand it. And so does many others:

    Jewish Leaders Join Bozell’s Demand for Network Coverage of Anti-Semitism at 'Occupy Wall Street'

    By NB Staff | October 26, 2011 | 09:27

    Within hours of NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center (MRC) president Brent Bozell sending certified overnight letters to demand ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC cover the video evidence of racial bigotry at Occupy Wall Street protests, three prominent Jewish leaders joined the call for the TV networks to cover the anti-Jewish hatred.
    "The Left has a long history of anti-Semitism going back to Karl Marx," Don Feder of Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation noted. "In that context the anti-Semitism of some OWS protestors and organizations isn’t surprising. What also isn’t surprising but is disturbing, is the mainstream media’s refusal to report this."

    I'd love to hit those on the left. For example, if I recall correctly, you guys have public financing up there (I could be wrong, I didn't live there long and wasn't very political then). That's one of the things we want. I'd love nothing more than to take away Obama's BILLION dollar war-chest.
    Harry Reid? Love to see him go but guess what? I voted FOR him. The GOP (Tea Party, actually) gave us Sharon Angle. I don't know if you had a chance to see that absolute nutjob but JEEZ! REALLY GUYS? I would have voted for ANYONE that didn't seem like they belonged in a rubber room. And the GOP didn't give me anyone who met that simple criteria.
    Nancy Pelosi? Would love to see her booted! That screech-hag hypocrite makes me sick.
    As far as Clinton signing Gramm-Leach, yeah there were a few Dems and the GOP had a veto-proof majority anyway. So oh well. But I give Newt credit. he agrees with us now. So do you agree with us or are you only interested in pinting your finger at parties and not issues (you know, like you claim we do)?

    What do you find Liberal about ending the Federal Reserve?
    About eliminating the power of unions to pour millions into advertising under Citizens United?
    Hmmm. Issues. Wonder if you'll address these questions as directly as I've addressed your comments.

    I am pretty sure I am more involved with OWS than you are.

    I have written code to unify their communication networks over livestream. http://occupystream.com/

    I have set guidelines for OWS protesters to protect themselves which have been disseminated to all General Assemblies... For example, one beat down that did not get any press was the vet who was trying to leave a protest location where he disagreed with the actions of the protesters... walking back to the camp site alone encountered police trying to corral him back to the group who was damaging a building. Refusing he was beaten badly and arrested. He was refused medical treatment in jail despite the excruciating pain he was in due to a ruptured spleen (well... he was seen by a nurse who gave him a laxative... which may have caused him to bleed out if he had taken it). Once released he went to the ER for emergency treatment which likely saved his life. Because of this circumstance it was my recommendation that whenever travelling to make sure you move in a group with a lead and follow cam, be that 2 or 200 people, and that lead and follow be at a far enough distance to be able to get away, but close enough to stream.

    I also set guidelines which were voted down, to video people doing anything forbidden by the GA and submit that footage to the PD for investigation to help clean up their image. To police their own.

    I also moderate 3 larger movement livestream chats. I do not care to say which.


    So dial it down with the "outsider" bull(*)(*)(*)(*). I am pretty sure I am more inside than you.

    If I tell you something, you can pretty much (*)(*)(*)(*)ing take it to the bank.

    Funny. I remember how you trashed the TEA Party with the same zeal you now display to defend OWS. You sure are selling hard.

    You're absolutely right! Until I went and met with people in person, my judgments based on both - based on what the MSM showed me, were pretty harsh. Firtunatley I am open-minded and independent. So my judgments of both are now based on personal experience.

    I don't think you understand. I hate OWS. I am just fascinated by it. I do all of this for them duplicitously... because of my obsession with rational anarchy. We aren't ready for such a thing yet... and this will all end terribly.

    Yeah, sure. So you have no party affiliation and are therefore clean and unencumbered by any political label. Tell me, did you see as many American flags at OWS as you did at a Tea Party event?

    If you were truly independent which by your posts you obviously are not you would be more aware that personal experience does not define a movement.

    How do you explain away the rapes, attacks on police, attacks on reporters that we have all seen? Are you claiming they don't exist because you personally have not seen them?

    I have noticed a few things I find noteworthy.
    NY is not an actual American Flag. There are 12 stripes, the middle red one being huge.

    That first flag... at Denver... that is a 48 star flag (1912–1959)... and it WAS in really nice shape... which leads me to believe... it is probably a coffin flag... the flag presented to loved ones at a military funeral. It has probably been folded for a very long time... and that makes me very sad.

    Look at those unpatriotic savages. The police or National Guard need to go Kent State on all their asses.

    Or just arrest them all. After all, it can't be that hard -- they are peaceful, right?

    I really should have this ready for C&P because I've posted it so many times.
    Tex, here is the difference between me and you (and most Conservs).

    I acknowledge your point.
    See how that works? I'm not SO afraid of acknowledging a valid opposing point, that I have to constantly change the subject or avoid the original topics discussed. Some day Conservs here may have that kind of courage or character - I just haven't seen it yet.
    I'll go even further. A LOT of people who started the movement a couple months ago, were pretty out there! Whackjobs! Homeless, deranged people.
    Is that clear enough? Direct enough?
    Even more! There are STILL a lot of people like that in the mix! I agree with you about that!

    So someday, when you're not afraid to do so, maybe you can address the various issues discussed in the OP, rather than run away, change the subject etc... But again and as has been posted half a dozen times, I'm not holding my breath. Fear, combined with the necessity of intelligent discussion, seems to be a powerful deterrent to Conservatives here.

    Stephen Lerner of the SEIU started it. It's origins and funding are union based. Some of us have been watching it for over a year now. Audio of the plans. Videos of the plans. Written directives of the plans.

    You have little knowledge of the origins by your own admission above, so don't expect to arrive late and tell others, or assign fear and lack of intelligent discussion to those who have been monitoring OWS much more thoroughly then, and now.
