They did have a message it was "No taxation without representation" i take it you didn't learn much in school if you don't know that elementary fact.

Good news, fat fuck communist Michel Moore is at Foley park...your leader has arrived.

save that shit for a softer target

This doesn't help the OWS movement in any way, and this is considered a liberal show...

This again? The shipyard union members supported the general strike as well, they just weren't allowed to join it contractually.

It's amazing how many of the employed are walking with these protesters. The live feed has Verizon workers holding signs saying they are the 99%. News orgs are estimating 20-30k people.

guess they were police agitators.

Oh shit.

We completely agree on something political.

:helpme:helpme:helpme

The unions should support this type of a movement. They are in fact the 99%. But how does preventing them from doing their jobs and earning a paycheck help?

Today multiple restaurants and coffee shops on Wall Street shut down, locked their doors, and send their employees home. Brilliant. In the middle of a financial crisis, let's shut down small businesses and cause employees to loose a day's worth of work.

It's just counter productive to their message.

Those people, those unions, chose not to work and walk with the 99% in protest. So, they didn't cause employees to lose a day of work, the employees and unions chose to protest. How is freedom of choice counter productive to anything?

They are actually interviewing a group of doctors on the live feed right now, if you choose to enlighten yourselves.

...you were laughing to erection?

ADG

OWS claims to represent the 99%. This is completely misleading. If the 99% in NYC was in fact to protest, it would be over eight million people. The truth is the OWS is a very small tiny majority, half of which are college kids, while a large percentage of the American population "supports the over all message". In reality, if OWS never existed, a large percentage of the population would still support the basic message.

Shutting down traffic in NYC is only going to piss off a lot of people.

The only traffic shutdowns I saw were by the NYPD, and oddly timed ones at that. They could of handled it better. But, while watching the live feed, as the protesters were marching by the traffic that was stopped, they were all blowing their horns, chanting with the protesters, and giving peace signs. I'm sure they weren't all happy, but it seemed like the majority didn't mind.

Anyway, did they piss some people off, sure. But, over 30,000 came out on a work night to support and march. It's a good start to a new beginning. Sacrifices must be made for progress of any kind.

Link??????

This is very cool!

From the I.L.A(International Longshoreman's Association) website:

http://www.ilaunion.org/news_occupy_wall_street.html

It wasn't "thirty thousand". It was "thousands", not "tens of thousands". (Estimate from the AP)

I saw entire streets shut down. This is to be expected for a protest of this size.

Just now at CNN Anderson Cooper was interviewing someone discussing this protest and comparing it to other protests. This guy said "protests must always lead to political action". In the Civil Rights movement, early on, they targeted specific easy to understand rules. In this case, the laws they should be discussing are too complicated for most college kids to understand. But they need to target Washington, not Wall Street. Wall Street isn't gong to change a damn thing on their own.

No wonder the progressives endorse this movement.

Just like the Tea Party right?

Revolutionary Organization 17 November From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the airport with the FAA code 17N, see Cross Keys Airport. 17 November

A reproduction of ?17 November? logo that appeared on their proclamations Dates of operation 1975-2002 Leader Alexandros Giotopoulos, Dimitris Koufodinas Motives anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, pro-Marxism Active region(s) Greece Ideology Marxist Status dormant Revolutionary Organization 17 November (Greek: Επαναστατική Οργάνωση 17 Νοέμβρη, Epanastatiki Organosi dekaefta Noemvri), (also known as 17N or N17) was a Marxist urban guerrilla organization (characterized as a terrorist group by the Greek state[1] and the United States[2] and the United Kingdom) formed in 1975 and believed to have been disbanded in 2002 after the arrest and trial of a number of its members. The group assassinated 23 people[3] in 103 attacks on U.S., British, Turkish and Greek targets.

Police were talking to each other over scanners estimating the numbers at 30k plus. But, I don't have proof.

Washington is being targeted, as well. I don't believe they need to do anything but continue to protest, gather numbers, support, and strength. Eventually, Washington will have to pay attention, even if the protest isn't at the gates of the White House. That's just my opinion.

The Obama-endorsed Occupy Wall Street goons terrorized small children going to school.

Just like the Tea Party...Yeah!

Plenty of white nationalist neo-nazi groups attached themselves to the tea party. What's your point? That fringe groups latch on to large movements that they feel might give them a platform to further their agenda? No shit......

What do white nationalist neo-nazi groups have to do with the Occupy thugs going after kids?

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/11/...n-wall-street/

They shouldn't have been on the streets, they should of expected this. Isn't that what you all keep saying about the old ladies and pregnant women? I don't actually believe that of course, but it's amusing to see how you guys adopt beliefs to fit specific news stories.

Kids should not be allowed to cross the street accompanied by there parents as they walk to school...is that what your saying?

Who is "you all and you guys" you give reference to?

You lost me on the old ladies and pregnant women bit, to date ive never mentioned either of them any where and you cant quote me as doing so either.

So I should believe someone who just signed up to GFY, with less than a 1k posts, and no siggie, over the AP? Sure thing.

Jesus fucking Christ, get a map. They shut down Wall Street in NYC not the Capital building. The banks aren't going to make a change..... It's going to be up to Washington.

I was really replying to your first post where you were implying that the entire movement was run by a marxist terrorist group, and that was the reason that progressives endorsed it. I just didn't want to quote all that.

A tip of my hat to you, sir. I wasn't sure if you were smart enough to figure out that join date, post count, and a signature directly correlate with intelligence and trust, but you have!

I will go buy a map and figure out where Wall Street is in relation to Washington D.C. so that I'm able to see that a demonstration anywhere but in the Capital building is just a waste of time and will not accomplish anything.

Listen, thanks for taking time out of your night to explain these things to me. I'm better off and promise to be a better person going forward because of your generosity!

Sorry about that, I was under the impression we were all making generalizations about groups of people. I just lumped you in with some other forum members. But, you're right, that was wrong of me to do so. And, I'm sure because you pointed out this obvious failure I made, you would never do such a thing either.

I didn't imply the movement was being run by Marxist terrorist group, however they did pick November 17th as the date to commemorate and to pay homage to 17N. It clearly says so on the Occupy site and if not they would have went with another date to separate themselves from it and the message of anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, pro-Marxism.

They picked that date for a reason, to send the same message as what 17N's did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolut...on_17_November

You're going to tell me its just a coincidence now right?

of course no proof that is why they choose it, just your delusions and paranoia seeing connections where there is none.

Uh, its posted on the official Occupy website message forums and on there Twitter, no delusions and paranoia needed, they clearly said why they chose that day. Kinda sad i know more about a movement you support than you do :1orglaugh

link? couldn't find anything anywhere. i assume you are lying.

Just like the Tea Party right?

Dozens of hypodermic needles were found at the Obama-endorsed tramp camp.

I do my own homework, so should you.

How is it possible that anyone would even bother to deny that the OWS movement is a Marxist anti-captalist movement??? They loudly proclaim it all the time. Anyone who is even passingly familiar with their rhetoric knows this. I assume amoral hypocrites like Porno Jew deny this because they feel it will make the movement unpopular....... but why not let the ideas stand on their own instead of trying to deny them? If the public is really ready for revolution then they will embrace it.
