It’s just like the TEA Party — except with paid protesters, union participation, Soros funding, anti-capitalist organizers, largely anti-Semitic overtones, and now, finally, shit!
As these astroturfed spectacles gain more and more media attention, remember this: the Democrats, and the Obama Administration in particular, own this. And the problem with enlisting the aid of anti-Semitic Marxist anarchists to try to turn the “middle class” against the banks and corporations (incidentally, a necessary, manufactured and orchestrated step for bringing about a public outcry for socialism, according to Cloward-Piven and Alinsky), is that you can’t spell “useful idiots” without “idiots” — and at the end of the day, your revolutionary foot soldiers are precisely the kind of people who will erupt in violence, gin up race hatreds, give voice to anti-capitalist/anti-Semitic sentiment, and, of, course, begin taking dumps on cars.
— And all for a demonstrable lie.
At which point the American people are going to pin this debacle right to Obama’s chest. Then we’ll see who “the 99%” really is.
Bring on 2012. It’s time to end this national nightmare.
(h/t Drudge)
Let’s see — 99% of 538 (the total number of Electoral votes for president) rounds off to 533.
Nobody’s ever gotten 533 Electoral votes. Right now I’m not sure Obama could get the other five.
Most want to leave a mark in life. OWS has translated that into leaving a skid-mark.
IIRC it was newrouter on another thread that brought up 1968 …
I was 14 and I remember how my parents reacted with disgust at the “youths” that were rioting not far from the Democrat convention. I remember looking at the pictures of it in Life magazine.
The Yippies and ilk thought this would bring main-stream America to their side — and Nixon won.
It seems that either the architects of the Occupation don’t care that they are leaving a lot of fingerprints, or the prog’s are so incestuously inter-connected that they can’t help but self-deal.
So that’s what Nike meant?
Some of the foot-soldiers may have thought that but not most of them and not the leadership.
This (1968 Dem convention protests)had nothing to do with the Republicans or Nixon who was not even on the radar of the left then. It was planned and promoted in the underground press as an action against the establishment Democrats. At that point in time the hatred of the left was directed at LBJ/Humphrey/Daley and their ilk.
The leadership of the left used this action to gain a powerful foothold in an established Party and have used it even since to push the Progressive/Socialist agenda.
I wrote on this here. I was 19 at that time and quite into the left then.
Jeff: love that thread between you, Todd Herman, and that moron MrHortonscycles on Twitter.
The Republic is truly lost.
so far this is all notably less robust than the ineffectual and silly parade of anti-american loserwhores what protested that Iraq War deal a few years ago
Likewise Dicentra, check the comments at Jeff’s Zerohedge link. Just when I start to think there actually is a 50/50 chance of turning back the tide. Many is the day I feel like a fool for living very frugally these last three and a half years so my daughter has no student loans to pay off. I don’t even have cable TV. My arsenal and pantry would be well stocked indeed if I had that $100k back and she could just skip out on paying later.
ensure him a living?? ENSURE him a living???
Somebody drop his ass on an deserted island and see how far his Masters goes into putting food in his mouth.
I fully expect that one of the many bills that will be pushed through the Senate that the House will vote down, will be a student loan forgiveness of some type. Reid’s tactical nuke will, if needed, be followed by a city buster that kills the filibuster.
Obama’s re-election strategy depends on getting bills that offer goodies to his base and to others they need votes from passed in the Senate and killed in the House. Look at the “manifesto” of the OWS for some ideas on what they will push.
I used to dream I could fly. You know, without an airplane even. Damned lying dreams.
Well iron I think the message she could learn from your example would in the long run be worth more than 10x that $100K.
The Progs know they won’t get another bite at the apple so they’re acting up to pressure O-fuck to pass as many give-aways as possible while he’s still in office. No surprise there.
As their support wains things will get very ugly for the Left. None of these “groups” have anything like convictions, just cynical free loading.
The Dems bought the last election with fake houses and such, this time the monry wagon is empty.
BBH, the problem for the Copperheads is that as long as the House stands firm, they can’t do it with laws. EO’s can be reversed by the replacement.
Are the sanitation workers in solidarity with these gabrones? If I were Mayor Bloomberg, I’d give them until sunset on Sunday to clear out. After that, I’d send in the garbage trucks and start throwing away all of the sleeping bags and backpacks.
Jeff also remarked: “The American Dream didn’t lie. She’s just not a slut. You have to earn her.”
I managed to escape college with only about $9000 in debt. Tuition at BYU in the 1980s averaged $600 per semester (for LDS students), so my parents could easily pay for my undergrad. I paid for my Masters degree by being a TA. Then I got a tuition fellowship to Cornell and paid for living expenses by being a TA. I only borrowed near the end when they couldn’t offer me any classes to teach.
Eventually, I folded the student loans into my car loan and voilà, I’ve had no debt but mortgage for more than a decade.
I should probably note that I got a job OUTSIDE the area where I got my degrees, and now I’m making well over $25 an hour.
For now.
I guess the American Dream likes you better if you were raised to treat her with respect instead of disdain. At this point I’d say my greatest accomplishment was to make it through 7 years of grad school without drinking the Kool-Aid.
Inevitable: #DefecateWallStreetMovement
Propriety forbids me from listing the tweets here.
Hee hee hee, #spreadcholeramovement.
I’m surprised they don’t have some clever pun for #bowelmovement in there yet.
WTF? The infantilization of America proceeds apace.
the occupy crowd likes to “repeat after me”. mind numb robots indeed.
It’s like this all over: ‘Occupy Wall Street Unleashes Beast of Radical Progressivism’.
Running off John Lewis is a little more consequential I think, newrouter, if not precisely an indicator of severe mental retardation, than mindlessly repeating spoken English.

Re: #20
Holy Christ. How do these people dress themselves?
Could you, in your wildest dreams, imagine ever participating in in such asininity?
Hey, let’s put brain dead zombies in charge!
To be sure, it’s far worse than the morons booing when a pitcher checks a runner by throwing to first base, which is about as low as I had hoped to see the nation sink.
Speaking of basestealers, that Yadier Molina throw last night was about as good as any I’ve ever seen, and a key to the game, from where I was sitting.
I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still…
“Holy Christ. How do these people dress themselves?”
– That would be demand #2,126. They demand the nannystate dresses them of course.
– Get with the program dude.
– Rush and Roger Hedgecock both focused on this Marxist rabble today. Two of the more telling facts:
– The group leaders in NY had to deliberate for three hours over the issue of badly needed sleeping bags. Apparently their “board” couldn’t come to a consciencious on “buy or make”. Hilarious.
– The Leader out here in San Diego of the three hundred or so slackers they could muster finally responded to the “why are you here” question, posed repeatedly by news reporters, by saying: “We have a steering committee working on that and we will announce that Tomorrow.”
– Well hell, a good dedicated anarchist doesn’t need no stinking reasons.
– One reporter went through the assembled great unwashed asking what political ties people had, getting thge usual spectrum of Marxist, Communist, anarchist ect. One young woman answered “Marxist/Socialist, you know, the same as Obama”.
– When asked where she learned this philosophy she replied: “…Oh that was from my two grad school social science profs, and my boyfriend…”.
– The boyfriend is presently serving 20 years for armed robbery. Not sure about the status of the Professors.
She is. Hopefully the 10X is enough to cover the inevitable inflation though…

They demand affordable hipster douchebag hemp clothing.
I have an idea: how about if a school charges some pinhead six figures for an education and he is still too fucking stupid to provide for himself the school has to give the money back?
A capital idea.
