These reporters might as well be the PR dept. for the Occupy hippies.

The powerful International Longshore and Warehouse Union, which represents most of the port workers whom protesters say they are supporting, has publicly rejected the blockade effort.

I'd pay real money to see some of our Seattle longshoremen take a few of these hippies out.

LOL

Yet another Brilliant mind.

A reasonable country would regard this as an act of treason, and respond accordingly.

“It’s going to be minus-6 degrees tonight,” Hartley said, “and we’ve got people camping.”

Enjoy hypothermia, oh and make sure when not to do ANYTHING when your fingers and toes turn black, that is like, totally like normal for like hipsters like you who work at like Starbucks! When your like fingers like turn like black, well, that just means that you are sticking it to the 1%!!!

/SIGH, can't wait to see the babies demand free medical care when frostbite ensues...

2ndDiv. You got it right.

Just guessing 2nd Marine Div? I was in there in 1964, 10th Artillery Regiment, 105 Howitzers.

A reasonable country would regard this as an act of treason, and respond accordingly.

A real CIC would call out the military and lock them up as National Security Threats. These ports aren't just used to import crap from China. I'm sure there are many vital shipments such as medical supplies which are vital to the country.

These hippies need to be rubber hosed.

Shhh - the word treason is politically incorrect. Jane Fonda will tell you so.

I Dare Call it Treason.

On Dec. 12, Occupy movements from Seattle to San Diego say they will shut down their local ports, temporarily stopping the flow of capital on the West Coast.

Great idea! That is sure to win lots of support from the folks here in Hawaii. Especially in about a week when there is no more food in the grocery stores.

Nope, 2nd United States Infantry Division, although my late father was a Marine in WWII, Korea and early Vietnam. BTW, the 2nd was commanded by several Marines during WWI and had a Marine brigade, the only Army division with that distinction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Infantry_Division_(United_States)

ZOMG LOL!!! That hurt my stomach from laughing too hard!!!

Excellent! When I read "barista" I had a similar thought, but my language was much cruder than yours.

By the way such ridicule works on these occupiers. I try to attack the local occupy group (Occupy Harrisburg) in the comments section of the local paper's website. I found out that one occupier, who used his full name on the website, temporarily left Occupy Harrisburg because he was receiving so much heat from other people. (He just happened to invite Bill Ayers to speak to Occupy Harrisburg.)

We should steal a page from Alinsky ... Identify, isolate, freeze and escalate. It is like fighting fire with fire. There is zero need to provide logical arguments. They are too brainwashed to think. So bar bitches, smelly hippie freaks, crapping in the streets really hits home. At the same time it discourages others from joining their movement.

Mine too! (well actually Late WWII, Vietnam)...

[Doctor 2Brains]

Something tells me these guys don’t realize the size of the ports in question.

Although, perhaps a bit more alliterative?
