I think this is an opportunity here but there are too many wack jobs in the OWS crowd.....too bad.

Excuse me, but YOU are playing the guilt by association game. You don't like the facts. You have to muddy it up by dragging MLK and the Civil Rights Movement into it, David Duke and your whole diatribe about the Tea Party being racist. Hello...Herman Cain...the 100% black man...yeah...the successful businessman...umm...he's backed by the Tea Party and won the straw poll here in Florida that created the surge he's enjoying now on top of the GOP current fold. Wake up and smell the OWS'ers!

You heard no "denouncement" because there was never anything racist that happened. If you're talking about that congressman that claimed he was spit on and called the "N" word...video of the entire event is out there. He was lying.

To date at the well over 300 Tea Party events across this nation...not one single arrest by someone actually attending an event. There's been some SEIU thugs that were for beating up a black man selling the Gadsden flags which ironically stated "Don't Tread On Me".

When a collective band of useful idiots have no leadership it opens the window for them to jump through. I'd be a bit worried about my message being hijacked if (thank God I'm really not though!) I were a OWS'er. They still do not have a unified message. They're still being used by morons like Sean Penn and our President.

There are two seperate movements both moving further away from center. One right, one left.
As you move furhter from center you start to run closer to lunatic fringe territory.

There are crazy people on both sides. Water is wet. The sun is hot.

I'll agree with that, however the difference is as clear as the nose on one's face...one is legal...one is not.

I can't decide on OWS or burning man this year. I'd do both but I don't have the coin.

Thieves preying on fellow protesters (Occupy Wall Street)
NY Post ^ | October 18, 2011 | LARRY CELONA, et. al

Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011

"Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.

“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.

“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”

Crafty cat burglars sneaked into the makeshift kitchen at Zuccotti Park overnight and swiped as much as $2,500 in donated greenbacks from right under the noses of volunteers who’d fallen asleep after a long day whipping up meals for the hundreds of hungry protesters, the volunteers said."

That being said - it is easier to effect the kind of change they are asking for by working within the system instead of
standing outside of it and shaking your fist at it.

The shame of this movement is that so many people do agree with them in principal but the lack of organization and willingness to work within the system combined with the lunatics hijacking the spotlight will never lead to anything concrete.

With that kind of support plus a little unification of their message, a little centralized leadership, and a litlle self policing and a willingness to work within the system combined with a media savvy spokesperson and this could turn out to legitimate force to be reckoned with come election time.

Until then they are just a bunch of unwashed hippies pooping in a park.
