This is the kind of crap that drives me nuts.

While I'm sure there are some people amongst the protestors who feel this way, I'm equally certain they are the minority of the group who are being used as a crutch to advance a narrow agenda of some special interest group and scare away potential support.

At this point, for all people with their hands in the pot, nobody knows what this movement will be or even if it will be anything. But I'm sick and tired of the media trying to kill everything in this country with this incessant left/right narrative.

As I watch my facebook friends, I see them parrot this story like gospel and so the division continues. Utter reflexive crap.

OMG! Anti-Alex Jones on ATS!

The end of the world is nigh! I can feel it!

While i share the protesters anger toward the banking establishment, most videos I have seen, many by the protesters themselves, advocate socialism and large government. They are fighting for big government as they rail against the police state policies that will most definitely come with big government.

They don't seem to get that the elite establishment needs and thrives off big government and big government is fed and controlled by elites - in all examples throughout history and inevitably in the future.

Most of these folks mean well, and I think it's great that they are letting the power elite know they are angry. But, getting down to it, the tea party people and these more lefty protesters are mad about most of the same things. They just have different rhetoric, and in some cases, different solutions.

When the markets come to full collapse and different global factions begin to vie for resources, that is when the full on global hot wars will begin, both external and internal.

As much of a valve and release this movement is for many people, in the end, what will bring the bankers down is their own incompetence and hubris. Until then, they will simply see the protesters as something to laugh at while they drink bubbly.

There are a list of demands that they've come out with- after vote- and NONE of them are anything about socialism or anything like that. My republican friend was reading the list earlier and agreed with every single one of them- except the one about taxing the rich fairly.

Republicans don't want the rich taxed, only those that have been poverty level and exempt from federal taxes. Those folks they want to tax.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter and as a left libertarian- I feel pretty independent right now from US politics. Don't like Obama at all. Like Perry even less. I personally do NOT see anything partisan in the demands from the 'general assembly.'

If liberals are showing up in bigger numbers, that's no one's fault but the republicans that are scared to go join in.

How about a link or source so people know what the hell you're talking about?.....

No suprise here.

Michael Moore, Roseanne Barr.

When the idiot left got involved, you knew who was leading it and what it was about.

The N.C. gov is even calling to postpone the elections!

Anyone familiare with the phrase . . . Divide and conquer.

'nuff said.

The #1 think they want is for corporate personhood to be ended and/or redefined.

What I think we are seeing is an attempt to paint the movement as a democratic party sanctioned one - that would turn the 99% right there into the 49% or less.

Divide and Conquer.
IMO, the TEA PARTY is mad about the same things when they started - they need to get out there and JOIN IN with their democratic brothers and sisters and everyone needs to FOCUS on the abuses of the finanicial system on every day Americans.

But the divide and conquer thing worked with the tea party, so they are trying it again. I am sad that Alex Jones has decided to become part of that.

The story is not over yet, but he's decided to write it. Just like Fox showing only the republican signs for the first tea party rallies wrote that movement's script. Drudge has picked it up. Sad.
