The Occupiers are real, powerful and are growing.

The Tea-Baggers are a racist tool of the Right
Talking out your a$$ again.  Come and see a Tea Party protest, then see if those gays are racist.

I heard an interview on the radio this morning.  Some young chick at OWS was asked what her goal was for being there.  After heming and hawing for a few awkward moments, she finally blurted out something along the lines of "I think we should do away with money.  I mean, there's enough food and stuff for everybody.  We just need to all share it.  You know?"

Yes.  I know.

Communist China and Obama are behind the occupiers.  It seems like they all want the corruption that comes with communism.

It goes along with the "class warfare" that Obama has been seeking by keeping the poor down and just have the elite get the goods.  (see Obamacare single payer vs Congress healthcare)

A few losers singing a loser song, with apparently no one at all paying any attention to them (aside from the guy holding the camera).  Yeah, I guess that proves the OWS movement is full of crap.  Glenn Beck's website with yet another journalistic coup!

Here's Tea Party spokesperson Victoria Jackson with some more awesome right wing journalism:

If you think it's just a "few losers", pay closer attention. 

When no one knows what you want, it's hard to take your protest seriously.

Yeah, it's hard to figure out what a movement called Occupy Wall Street is about.  I've been watching The Foxy Five & Friends (or at least I keep it on in the background while I post online all day), and even they can't figure it out.  Therefore, the protesters are losers.

But yes, there's an absence of specific "demands," that's true.  At this stage, the movement is about (to borrow a headline from Paul Krugman) confronting the malefactors.  In fact, I'll just go ahead and post that here.  It's perhaps a bit more informative than your Glenn Beck link.

Well, at least it wasn't biased. 

So they are seeking "economic justice"?    If so, I think we've covered that.

What a bunch of horseshit this column is.  Basically, what he's saying is that because the OWS protesters don't have demands of their own, we can think up our own demands and pretend that the protesters are there for us, representing us.

Mike, you're not an ignoramus.  You're an Internet troll, but you're not stupid.  You know that's not what the majority of protesters are doing.  Or even any kind of a significant minority.

I'm quite sure that some people doing it have legit beliefs and "demands".   Unfortunately, you get the lunatic fringe who have nothing else to do.   And that's who gets the media coverage.  Because they're more "fun". 

The only term that seems to stick is "economic justice" and no one can clearly define what it is.    But, if it's something that would allow some jerkoff in a jester hat to jam all day on the street corner while I work, I'm not for it.

And yet even with professors Mike and tecwrg and swampy educating the WIS masses, a recent Time poll shows 54% of Americans viewing the OWS protesters very or somewhat favorably, compared to just 27% viewing the Tea Party very or somewhat favorably.  It must eat you guys up that dope-smoking ****-the-USA singing police car shitters are so respected.

My guess is that around 25% of the people there are there because thay believe in what they're doing, even though they are unable to really define it.  Another 25% are there trying to get laid (with only 5% being successful).  And the other 50% are there because of "****, YEAH!!!  I'M PROTESTING!!!".
