This is the only the beginning of things to come?
Since “Occupy Wall Street” began, Faux News, the corporate media and those in the top 1% have tried to paint the protests as nothing but a misguided rally of anarchists, simply looking for an excuse to sleep in a public park. Contrast that depiction with the framing of the Teabag Party movement – drawn as well-meaning, “average Joe,” political neophytes… finally awakened to action by the frightening “Socialist” takeover of government spearheaded by the Obama Administration. To live in the Reality-Based Community, is to know how laughable both assertions are.
We’ve seen those like Bill O’Reilly, in the traditional Conservative manor of “fixing the ‘facts’ around the policy,” and his producer-monkey skulk down to Liberty Square, and in their best impression of Andrew Breitbart, selectively-edit a piece making the protesters all look like fools.
As Media Matters reported:
Fox News has begun attacking participants of the “Occupy Wall Street” protests across the country, claiming they are “deluded” and have “absolutely no purpose or focus in life.” Fox’s attacks stand in stark contrast with its relentless promotion and support of the tea party protests of 2009 and 2010.”
Rather than cause for demoralization on the part of working people everywhere, what these examples illustrate is the fact that the establishment elite are frightened and know their days of partying off our weary backs are numbered.
Normal people (non-Republicans/non-Teabaggers/non-transnational corporate sock-puppets) know what those in the foreign press, such as George Monbiot, know: that billionaires and their fake populist astroturf front groups like the Koch Brothers’ “American for Prosperity” have “mobilised the anger of people who found their conditions of life declining, and channelled it into a campaign to make them worse. Tea Party campaigners take to the streets to demand less tax for billionaires and worse health, education and social insurance for themselves.”
They know what Comedian Bill Maher knows… That Teabaggers are “sad, unfortunate people” because they are “corporate America’s useful idiots.”

The also know that the Occupy Wall Street protests reflect a very-real crisis in America – the Conservative-policy-induced decline of the American Middle Class.
That is the difference. One, very real, populist movement is based in fact… and another, faux-populist movement is based in a fiction the transnational corporate Oligarchs need people to believe if they are to continue pulling off the greatest transfer of wealth upwards since the FIRST Gilded Age.
All one has to do is listen to the concerns of the people at Occupy Wall Street and contrast them to those at the Teabag Party rallies to see that while the Teabaggers are railing against mythical “Sharia Law” invasion, demanding Obama’s birth certificate, the OWS protesters are drawing attention to the corrosive influence of money in our government and fighting for the restoration of the America Dream. In fact, as Lee Fang wrote, the Occupy Wall Street protests are the true heirs to the values of the Boston Tea Party. for these 5 reasons:
1.) The Original Boston Tea Party Was A Civil Disobedience Action Against A Private Corporation.
2.) The Original Boston Tea Party Feared That Corporate Greed Would Destroy America.
3.) The Original Boston Tea Party Believed Government Necessary To Protect Against Corporate Excess.
4.) The Original Boston Tea Party Was Sparked By A Corporate Tax Cut For A British Corporation.
5.) The Original Boston Tea Party Wanted A Stronger Democracy.

They want to work, Failias. The Bush tax cuts failed to create the jobs the GOP promised. Try to keep up.

Now I see your problem. With a boyfriend like that sissy dweeb, you're not used to being man handled. Do you look like Margaret Carlson?

I'm not used to being "manhandled". Isn't that revealing?
No no ladies, I saw him first!
Wow. Manhandled.

Other than the fact that she looks younger than me, we could be twins.

And the difference is that it's a national and international movement that seems to be "all-inclusive", with folks from every walk of life.

Most people are totally impotent and powerless to do anything about it, but I think that the arrogant fuckers in Wall Street should at least be confronted with the fruits of their arrogance.

????....I thought the Wall Street dissidents were protesting against their parents for neglecting them.......aren't most of them living off their trust funds and traveling around the world objecting to wealth?........

You post this, yet, you want to be taken seriously. Why don't you do something constructive with your life, instead of masturbating in political debate forum?. Ugh.
