Obama hatched this egg with his anti-capitalist re-election campaign.
He is the father of the OWS movement. He owns it, lock stock and barrel. Whatever happens at either convention is on him.
You can only be as cohesive with a group as far as personal hygiene permits.
When they recreate Chicago ‘68 it will cripple the Democrats. Where do I contribute to the OWS movement? After all they might know what they want, but they DO want us to pay for it when they decide.
This is yet another of a bizillion bogus “balance” articles that desperately try to make two things equal when it’s clear that they are anything but: like our government schools trying to pretend that a bully and their victim are equally at fault.
Yep, the Democrat’s OWS protesters are exactly like the Tea Party except for the rape, riots, arson, drug overdoses, deaths, shootings, tuberculosis, assault, theft, garbage, filth, feces, urine, anti-Semitism, actual demented lunatics, demands to replace capitalism with communism, arrests, assaults against police officers, property damage, flaunting of local ordinances, and failure to obtain permits.
They’re pretty much the same, right? At least that’s what the alphabet networks and bird-cage-liner press want you to believe ever since they were given their marching orders to add that fiction to their alternate reality.
The ILWU once had a real commie at the helm, Harry Bridges. And many that worked the docks and in the merchant marine did their best to run him and his kind out of town. Those were the days when everyone inside the unions and outside them would immediately go after commies. They knew them for what they were and are - anti-American bastards. just like Obama.
Generally speaking, any article or editorial that puts "Occupy Wall Street" in caps, and the "tea party" in lower case is going to be biased against the Tea Party. This one however, is surprisingly balanced.
“Could Charlotte in 2012 be a reprise of Chicago in 1968?”
Not likely.
The Dems have lots of advance warning, so they will figure out how to make the protesters keep their distance. There are lots of ways to contain malcontents if you have advance warning.
Bike Week celebrations are good examples of this: some communities create traffic corridors in such a way to keep the people moving out of town and into areas where they are not as likely to amass.
