Mmmm, smells like a miscarriage to me!

To be fair:

Ms Fox has not filed a complaint with the Seattle Police Department nor provided any medical records to back up her allegations.

To be fair is to know that she willingly put herself and her spawn at risk by going to protests when we have had a month's worth of evidence that police are actively pepper-spraying the public at these events. She had no business being there.

But I gotta be seen at the scene!

...and cue youtube videos of people acting like jackasses at tea party rallies in 3... 2....

They've already been posted repeatedly in the Tea Party thread. I'm doing the same to the OWS thread.

Well we could take a cue from you and;

A. Pretend it didn't happen.
B. Defend and pout that it's only a small minority.
C. Blame AstroTurf
D. All of the above

How very literate of you, Kieran.

The moderates, I would suggest, are those that wish to replace the current bankster bailout system with the normal democratic system.

The super-rich, the uber-wealthy, the thieving robbing scumbag bastards - they declared war on us. And in return, we will give them both barrels.

And, in the long term we shall win, because we have the numbers.

I'm confused.

Who exactly are you arguing with here?

The overwhelming majority of the posters on this forum have been critical/skeptical of the OWS movement.

I was referring to 'moderate' (as opposed to hard-core) GOP figures, ok? You have no idea what I was saying in my post. Just complete misunderstanding.

The 99%'ers in the youtube video taking down the racist, capitalist, imperialistic, corporatocracy one security guard at a time.

Calm down now . . .note I said the "overwhelming majority" not "all". And even your support has at the very least been analytical no? Rather than blind and unquestioning?

So is it that your suggesting that most of FYM given their views SHOULD be supporting OWS blindly?

If so that only reveals your willfull insistence on creating straw men rather than debating real people.

But..but....anarchists!!! University students! Socialist community groups!

Please...nothing more than a distraction to keep voters fighting over the scraps while politicians rob this country blind. Go back to worrying about inconsequential shit like gay marriage because your conservative media overlords tell you it's an important battle in this day and age.

This chart sums OWS vs Tea Party succinctly. I'm putting it under a spoiler tag because it's reaaaaally long, albeit colorful and entertaining!

at least
that is an objective chart

[INDY500]

1) What do Occupy protests in Spain, Italy and Germany have to do the stated beefs against American bank executives, American campaign laws and the American tax code? Foreign protests don't count.

2) Those arrest totals are woefully out of date.

3) Where's the stat on positive vs negative news coverage as presented by the MSM? Let's just say they were very sympathetic to OWS.
