    Does anyone know if Ron Paul commented on OWS? if RP is not in full support of OWS (which I definetely think he is, but according to some here who pretend to be his supporters it seems he is not) then I would permanently say F U to Ron Paul movement.

    Ron Paul supports Free Markets, Capitalism, Limited Government, Private Property, The Right to the Fruits of one's own labor, and The Constitution.......

    .....which goes against the views of the majority of OWS trash.
    .
    .
    .....ending The Fed and ending Crony Capitalism may be the only common ground.

    if OWS does not even know what they support, how could Ron Paul know?

    Just because the elites infuse retards into the crowd and interview them, does not mean that OWS protests are about those retards. CNN tried many things starting with showing asian woman with a masked man looking like a terrorist behind her, as if that is the OWS crowd. but looking at a whole thing reveals a completely different thing.

    RP supports it. Here's a terrific video showing Ron Paul and Norm Chomsky in agreement for a change!!

    “I can’t speak for the people out there because I don’t know who they are or exactly what they are demonstrating against”

    ----Ron Paul on OWS


    ....a mob of Statists, Democrats, Liberals, Communists, National Socialists, and Marxists isnt exactly a Ron Paul Fan Club.

    I am a Ron Paul fan and I'm going. That kind of puts a damper on your attempt to label and demonize this movement as Marxist or statist. Besides, I find it difficult to see anyone who is protesting the collusion between our government and the corporations as a statist. :roll:.

    .....no the damper will be realized when you enter the mob of Free Market Hating Anti-Capitalist Statists.....and realize Ron Paul and that mob have little in common.

    The problems reside in Washington......and thats where Ron Paul protests.

    .....when you realize their solutions involve MORE GOVERNMENT.....you will.

    The government is abusing us, not serving us. That is an enormous thing we all have in common, Badmutha, regardless of political orientation.

    I agree 100%, and if I can get to the microphone tomorrow, I intend to say a few words about that. :)

    OWS and its leaders are calling for MORE government control. Just cause there is one element in the OWS crowd that says "stop foreign wars" who also believe in dismantling of the military (Ron still wants our military, just not overseas) doesn't mean Ron is with OWS.

    Ah, those are plants. But those that had racial signs and dressed as hitler at the TEA party rallies were typical TEA partiers. Please, liberals just hate the truth.

    This is an extreemly edited video taken out of context with no reference to the OWS crowd at all. The fact is, the OWS is marching on Wall street, Ron Paul doesn't disagree at all with wall street.

    Lol, you can't play the same teaparty card

    You have 700 people arrested in a single incident

    I've been invited to a facebook page to protest the arresters getting protested.

    The facebook page includes bull(*)(*)(*)(*) such as "why is there even a law that you cannot be in the park past 10pm? We need to figure out the real nature of these laws.

    And this letter to the Mayor full of threats of violence:
    "Dear Mayor,

    -8 protesters were arrested for peaceably assembling and this is morally and constitutionally wrong
    -SB is the first city in the COUNTRY to have arrested supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement in a public area -- you will look worse and worse until you publicly state that you are in support of us, and show through actions instead of cheap political words
    -The LA Mayor is in support of the LA occupy movement and soon the LA City Council will vote to amend the municipal code so that peaceably protest and assembly over rides curfew and camping laws -- we recommend you do the same
    -We are in contact with lawyers and looking into suing the city, which is another mess that will make you look bad unless you support us
    -Once LA is on board there is discussion about them coming up here in the hundreds to occupy De La Guerra Plaza. Do you really want to deal with this? We're not criminals, we're fighting to end corporate control of our lives! Please support us!

    Please support us! Please support us! Please support us!"

    An earlier letter threatened to slam on his home door.

    These guys are insane bat(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy violent.

    I mean REAL violence, none of this o wow a tea partier yelled. These guys are handcuffing themselves to benches, fighting off police officers, and making threats to the mayor! All of them! not just some fringe.

    Do you have proof or do you believe this because it reinforces your failed belief system?

    What i was trying to get across what that these people know what they are upset about, and I cannot say I disagree with them, but they have no plan of action and I am not sure what they want to do about the problems.
    It is not yet clear. They should make it clear so that the proper changes can be made when/if they are finnaly heard.

    Before jumping to conclusions, you have to understand that OWS is not what it appears to be on the outside. Adbusters, the guys who initially organized it, are funded by the Tides Foundation, which is funded by George Soros. MoveOn.org is also funded by Soros. ACORN is involved. And not only the unions, but many Socialist and Communist political parties as well. The whole thing is a controlled opposition movement. These organizers all have one common goal: the prevention of true banking reform. Obviously many of the protesters are calling for the death of capitalism but they do not realize that capitalism has been dead in this country for almost a century (most of them probably don’t even know why they’re protesting). Controlled opposition always happens with large popular movements like this.

    I'm sure there are a lot of pro-free market protestors as well. That Anonymous group are right wing anarchists, for one. Ron Paul is in favor of banking reform, which I'm sure alot of the OWS protestors are. But he does not support the socialist protestors who are calling for the downfall of capitalism. It is the anti-free market attitude which has gotten us in the mess we are now, and subversion of the free market is what has given Wall Street the power it has today. He supports true banking reform (ending the Fed, installing a free banking system), which really would cripple Wall Street and severely limit their power.

    I expect RP is fully aware of these facts, so the wisest thing for him to say would be to explain that he doesn't outright support the movement, but that he's not against it either, and tell why. It's not about supporting the movement, it's about supporting the message.

    What is the message? A lot of supporters don't know what they want.

    Oh please....you already did, and you know it. Clearly you have absolutely no clue as to what the Ron Paul movement is, or you wouldn't even be asking this silly question.

    "Full Support of OWS"...what a joke.

    LOL! And what message would that be? If these people want to be taken seriously...then protest for the day and then go home, and come back the next. This is a disaster. Costing the people of NYC I hear in the millions already for police overtime alone.

    Is that fair? Of course to them it is, because THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!
