The mask comes off. OWS is misdirection and propaganda in support of Obama 2012.

Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), says Occupy Wall Street “has brought into sharp focus a reality that cannot be denied.”

Wonder what old stuart will say when windows are broken out of Department Stores?

Obama must love this “anti-the rich” chaos

Obama IS the rich...and the powerful and it is his cronies on Wall Street that they're protesting against. It's the classic tactic of dictators - blame everyone else for what you are doing. The slaves on the plantation are fighting for the slave-master.

Trumka appears to be in charge of suiciding the union movement.

Anyone want to join and take part in the violence?

No one will want to go union after this. What a moron.

The Left is all in on this one. They are about to find they are riding the tiger.

All blue state so far. Scared. So not utterly stupid.

Yeah, it’s good for a couple of points or so.

Hardcore FR fanatics like me chose a mom that passed on male pattern baldness so we don’t have much to fuss with.

an expected several thousand labor activists

If several thousand labor activists somehow have time for something like this, you know what the "labor" is NOT about: work.

It’s beginning and it will not be pretty. You will see the grungy kids replaced with bus drivers, iron workers, carpenters, and cops and teachers and their families. The unions may be less than 20% of the labor force, but they have an organizational ability that is a force multiplier or great proportions. If they are not stupid and don’t turn to violence they have a chance to move the country in their direction, unless the Tea Party can mobilize to meet them.

Union membership today is half of what it was a decade ago. Hopefully, when working people see the parasites swarming Wall Street, they will associate unions with those unwashed, obsolete, demented malcontents and membership will drop even more in the coming years.

I would suggest that this is a poor time for sluggish, thuggish agitators to gain adherents to their cause. And a piss poor patchwork crew of misfits to hook your wagon to.

This is no “grassroots-grown protest”.

This is a centrally planned program.

I live in Longview, WA, and the ILWU has been directed from outside the local region to wreck havoc at the Port of Longview.

The union here is losing popular support.

I made that same point to a Commie on Facebook. She claims that they’re all peaceful. Idiot.

Greed goes both ways. Corporations are like any abusive organization or being. They have power thru wealth. They use it to lobby government to protect their interests. They will cheat the taxpayer as long government looks the other way and corrupt gov officials. It is old as history itself. Unions began as a movement, but like all movements it becomes a business and then a racket. Both have been abusive and both have played a role in destroying common sense and trust in America. Now they want to kill each other to gain publicity. As far as I am concern, the best way to get rid of the left and greedy CEO is let come leftist fanatic shoot a banker and we arrest the leftist for murder. Now we get rid of both social pests. IMHO keep out of the fight, the leftist union and corporate bankers deserve each other. It is call God’s justice.
