George Will: ‘I wish the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators long life and ample publicity’ Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 44 mins ago

Conservative commentator George Will wished the Occupy Wall Street movement “long life and ample publicity” Sunday while explaining how the movement could hurt Democrats’ electoral prospects.

“[T]he tea party was the bourgeoisie in revolt and they immediately went into the business of winning elections and running candidates,” Will said on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour.” (RELATED: George Will: Cain’s Florida straw poll ’caused liberals’ heads to explode’)

“I disagree with some of the Republicans. I wish the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators long life and ample publicity for two reasons: I think they do represent the intellectual spirit of the American left, but also I remember 1960s. We had four years of demonstrations like this led up to 1968.............

Who wouldn’t want to hang out with people who haven’t bathed in weeks and live in their own filth, scream incoherently and curse people who won’t give them things for free?

Exhibit "A" for those who think marijuana is a "harmless" drug...

Although to be fair, his condition might also be due to a 40-year vacation from soap.

These protesters are having growing problems with sanitation, and, how to say, bathroom issues.........

Some of the protesters don’t see the ironies, of them using cellular phones and computers, developed by evil capitalists, to organize their efforts.

Nor do they see irony of wolfing down the pizzas delivered, by such companies as Pizza Hut and Godfather and Papa John’s. Evil capitalists all.

Heck, Godfather’s has to be rejected and boycotted, due to Herman Cain having been CEO of that company.

Is that from Occupy Wall Street or from a Grateful Dead concert?

I agree with his take.I think the majority of Americans who are independents are appalled by what they see in the streets and are quietly resolving to vote the deems out in 2012.

Wait until this crowd shows up for the conventions.
That should be impressive. ;-)

This has been going on for years in and around Seattle under the moniker of “Tent City.”

The goals are identical.

The people “organizing” these “non-events” are of the exact same cloth.

It is all a device of the left to ensure the left retains the White House after 2012, whether it is Obammie the Commie, Hillary the National Socialist, or any of the Watermelons of the green party. All of them have the same goal, just different characters they pretend to be.

I think sooner or later, there will be a massive health problem - rats, other rodents, diarrhea due to contaminated food, dysentary, flu, pneumonia, spread of other dangerous viruses - and then the city will have to clear them out
