That's a good point. "They will win" is very vague. I'm honestly thinking he meant for it to be ambiguous, so that different conservatives would take it different ways. The ambiguity seems to be there to evoke a sense of fear.
Peter King took an phone interview and went over the edge. What you ATS make of this?

A few days ago I would have agreed with you, but over the past 70-something hours OWS has turned from a bunch of people complaining about nothing to more of a cohesive protest against corporate greed and fake liberalism, in other words, against the Obama-types, and anyone else who doesn't want "wall street" to be held accountable

He says he remembers the 60's and is afraid we will win?
What, was the civil rights movement of the 50's and 60's a bad thing or something?
What a moron.

A manufactured battle between "the establishment" and the "anti-establishment" will draw plenty of attention and grant those bread and circuses so many of the populi crave. Individuals actually, and quietly living their lives as free People isn't as entertaining to the woeful, miserable, masses.
The protests escalated into prolonged violent confrontations between the protesters and the military, and attempts to negotiate a ceasefire failed. More than 80 civilians and 6 soldiers were killed, and more than 2,100 injured,
Video footage from the international media showed soldiers firing assault rifles in fully automatic fire mode in the direction of protesters. Protest leaders claimed that a number of protesters were hit by army snipers from nearby buildings.
Protesters seized a large amount of military equipment left behind by retreating troops, including nine M-16 assault rifles, 25 Tavor TAR-21 assault rifles, six .50 caliber anti-aircraft guns, 116 riot shields, 105 batons and 80 suits of body armour. Troops also abandoned six personnel carriers and three high-mobility multi-purpose vehicles. Ammunition also went missing, including 580 rubber bullet rounds, 600 .50 caliber anti-aircraft rounds, and 8,182 5.56 mm M-16 rifle rounds
The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations have been supported by labor unions and Democratic lawmakers and their party leaders on Capitol Hill. “God bless them for their spontaneity,” said Nancy Pelosi of the OWS protesters to reporters. She then added, “It’s young, it’s spontaneous, it’s focused and it’s going to be effective.”
