    You are right about one thing.. the useful idiots have no clue about what they want. Which brings us back to the OP.
    The NY Post and the Daily Caller investigated the backgrounds of the protesters arrested for shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge (and screwing over working class commuters in the process) .They found almost all of them to be trust-fund pampered "screwed over ""youths "from well-off homes.
    Here is the common chant :
    What do we want ? We don't know ! .....When do we want it ? Now !

    If you don't listen now, instead of nit-picking individuals and broad brushing the whole by the ones you don't like, then of course it gets louder, and uglier. But the right rather wait for them to go home, or call out the national guard. To bad you guys can only see this through tunnel vision, but when faced with enough anger by your fellow citizens, maybe you guys will figure it out.

    They don't have a right to burn, loot, and destroy. But they darn do have a right to assembly. Just because you don't understand what they are hollering about NOW! You will because I doubt they go away, despite your denial.

    But conservative republicans are hardly famous for having an open mind, or good listening skills, especially when there own self interest conflicts with everyone else's.

    Shame really, that it takes so much energy just to get your attention. Because most of the problems come from not being able to acknowledge the fact there is more than one way to skin a cat, and they way you want it done doesn't WORK for everybody. That's where the lack of good listening skills come in, so you can at least LEARN a better way.

    Or maybe you don't want people to know you ain't going to listen to anybody else because you have another agenda that motives you. Like tanking everything because that makes this a one term presidency for the guy in the white house, whom you hate more than you love your own country. OR, you will protect your masters, corporations and banks, no matter how they screw you, and everyone else.

    OR, are you afraid of what GROVER will do? OR all of the above.

    I'm perplexed, too. He didn't shoot anyone so I have no idea what you're talking about, he was defending his property.

    These people have every right to protest, but they don't have the right to "occupy", they don't have the right to violate property rights, they don't have the right to violate the law of the land.

    I thought you were one of those "your rights end where my nose begins” kind of guys. No?

    How about that Jon Corzine! The perfect example of everything wrong with the country... the Democrat elite oligarch who steals when he's in the private sector and spends recklessly when in a position of public power.

    THE OWS crowd should string him up in effige but the news about his chicanery is over -shadowed by allegations about what Cain might have done to unnamed staffers.
    When these clowns marched up to the Upper East Side they conveniently ignored Soros home on their way to the Koch home.

    They have to ignore Soros, he's probably the one feeding and funding them... while that 1 percenter Michael Moore joins in the protest against people like him.

    By the way, I say Cain is a victim of a racially motivated attack.

    LOL, I thought you righties were free market traders, and believed that the markets choose winners and losers? Corzine lost.

    Oh, that's right, its only a story when democrats lose. Then repubs call for "investigations".

    Investigate the DONALD, why don't you. Or why congress wants to cut food stamps, instead of making jobs! Will they cut corporate welfare while they are at it? I doubt it.

    Read the Daily Digest from that day... or any day. Congress does multitask and they took up jobs bill that day. Give me a few minutes and I'm sure I can find plenty of time wasted on goofy stuff by Dems.

    In fact, yesterday Diane Feinstein et al introduced the America's Cup Act of 2011, I'm sure that was important.

    Barbara Lee et al introduced a resolution "Recognizing the disparate impact of climate change on women and the efforts of women globally to address climate change." My God how can we live without recognizing that?

    Doris Matsui et al were busy "Supporting the goals and ideals of National Community Gardening Awareness Month." We have a community gardening awareness month?

    Nope, Corzine was peddling influence to write his own regulatory rules, exactly the kind of nonsense that Obama (hypocritically) and the occupiers are so pi$$ed off about right now.

    They are certainly 99% of the worst behaved people of the country.

    Badly behaved? It seems the southern variety would disagree with you. They call for motions and vote on them, quite strange behaviour for the great unwashed

    Up here at just one of them, in California, forget what one, there has been 20 sexual assaults, and at least two reported rapes. They themselves have admitted there are more unreported ones.

    One of the People raped was a young Deaf man.

    Nice bunch of people those protesters are here. Its unlikely the others are much if any better.

    I heard the tea partiers were corn holing each other at their gatherings. It was on the internet.

    Not one case of that happening... not one case of trouble or mass arrests either... and not one example of them creating bio-hazard superfund sites in their wake either. The parks the Bowel Movement have been trashing won't be safe for generations from the extensive fecal coliform contamination.

    Schizophrenics hear voices in their heads... don't mean there really are...

    Difference here is there are actual police reports and arrest records to back it up the depravity and illegal behavior of "The Bowel Movement"... And those are just the reported incidents... nobody knows how many unreported ones...

    Hello smoothy:

    I heard there were actual police reports and arrest records of the corn holing going on in the tea party... There's no telling how many people got corn holed and didn't report it.. It was really ugly, I heard. It was on the internet. Really. It's true.
