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.

How would they march and 'write books and poetry' if they had to have real jobs and contribute to their own health care?.

Could you see Pelosi and the leftist and hollywood elite sharing a $30,000 a plate Obama fund raise with the scum in the Occupy crowd? Pelosi wouldn’t even let one of those Flea Bags server her food.

Those that are appalled by what they see were not adults during the 60’s...its all old news to us oldsters...The 60’s were worse, but these dirty rags still have time to catch up to the 60’s repulsiveness...(those 60’s hippy’s are now in power in some places, thats why we are in a mess)

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

Is there a difference?

People should phone Brookfield Properties, which manages this “public park” to demand that the feebaggers be removed. They respond that it is a “public park” - all the more reason to remove them!
