Jon Stewart Annihilates Republicans Who Oppose Occupy Wall Street

That is not an American flag, instead of having 50 stars it has a peace sign.

You must have a very keen eye to make such an astute observation

Peace is great until you grow up and realize the world is not such a peaceful place...

Refresh my memory, how many wars is America fighting?

I was speaking about occupykc specifically, but I see that some communists/socialists are involved in the protests. Does that mean all of the protesters share the same views? No way.

Look, the people I support are for example "captain midnight", but the thing is, not even he is realizing he is being used.

Let me give you an example.

Take a look at this link, where they state "captain midnight need to be your spokesman"...

occupywallst.org...

But then again look at the closed fist on the top left, which is a logo of communism, and look at how they put in red the word Occupy...

Can you add up 1+1?

The fist represents power to the people.

The funny thing is, his spin is comedy on news. He does his best though, to actually make a point. It's not just all laughs regardless of the facts.

This kind of material can make it on the news... but our real news networks cant even approach this level of honesty.

It's just another screwed up example of media priorities....

The closed/clenched fist HAS ALWAYS represented socialism/communism, more so when the color red is added to the equation.... and they always CLAIM it gives power to the people but it never really does...it gives power TO THE STATE/GOVERNMENT, which is exactly what the left in the U.S. wants to do.

Here, a bit on the history of the closed fist.

...
The clenched fist was first used by the communists in the Spanish civil war, as a counterpoint to the open-palmed Roman salute adopted by the fascists. The clenched fist symbolises strength and unity - fingers which are individually fragile can together make a powerful fist. It became a symbol of communism and was co-opted to many revolutionary causes, most potently the civil rights struggle in the US and opposition to colonialism in the third world. But it is now so freighted with historical associations - the murky faction fighting on the left in the Spanish civil war, the perversion of communism in the Soviet Union, the tyrannies that emerged in post-colonial Africa - that, according to the socialist historian Sheila Rowbotham, it has become a double-edged symbol. "Even in the 1960s," she says, "my generation used it slightly self-consciously. It was connected to communism and post-'56, [when the Soviet army suppressed the Hungarian uprising] using it made you feel slightly uneasy."

Arguing is useless. This is the propaganda arm at work. You can't bring facts to the table because the people you are arguing with aren't here to learn or discuss anything; they're here only to further an agenda.

Arguing may be helpful. Those insulting who desire to change this world are trying to influence a certain susceptible group. Who's to say this group is all of the "smash it with a hammer" variety? They may actually be interested in discerning the truth and cultivating understanding.

The mayority of the organizers, and fundraisers of these events are leftwing, and it includes the Boston offshot of ACORN, now called New England 4 Justice, which has the same employees and director it had when it was still called ACORN, and a whole myriad of other leftwing groups, whose sole intent is to USE people to further their own agendas.

These leftwing groups have ties to SOROS and other rich leftwingers/socialists/communists who want to change the United States into a socialist state, and want to finish what they started in 1913.

Still trying to issue blatant lies about this movement I see! When will you ever learn? Failure to read and understand what I am saying below means you lack common sense and will spew anything the lamestream media tells you to.

To those that know the truth I apologize for re-posting this constantly but apparently the message seems to get lost because certain nameless individuals cannot see the truth for themselves!

There is no individual founder. We are not representative by the political beliefs of our partner firms and are in NO WAY, SHAPE, SENSE OR FORM a declaration of political allegiance.

I give not a toss for what you or anyone thinks about this as this is the only thing that matters. If we wanted to be a leftist group we would've aligned ourselves firmly with the Dems but that has yet to occur and will not occur.

WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY BILLIONAIRE AS WELL AS ANY POLITICAL PARTY!

You are not a billionaire or a trillionaire so to the people you are sitting here defending do not give a toss for you, your family, your friends or anyone you know. They see you as collateral damage. They own you and by refusing to join up means you've already surrendered your Constitutional rights to The SCUM! To them you are their slave. More then 150,000,000 Americans stand united with this group and the numbers grow by the hour.

No other movement in recent memory has ever been this large. This movement has totally eclipsed that of The Tea Party, The 9/11 Truth Movement, The Anti 43 Rallies, The Vietnam protests combined. This is the largest protest since the Civil Rights Era. Every single time one of our camps is attacked our numbers grow, every report of police brutality this movement grows. Day or week long campouts have occurred in the past but none had the impact nor reach of this one.

STRONG EMPHASIS UPON THE FOLLOWING AND CANNOT BE EXPRESSED ENOUGH :
Unless it comes from Occupy Together, Occupy Everything, #Occupy Wall Street, NYC General Assembly or any of the countless official "Occupy" family of sites it does not speak for this movement and the movement will not endorse any site outside of our family of sites. Got it? Adbusters does not speak for us, Tides does not speak for us, no union speaks for us, The American Socialist Party does not speak for us, The Communist Party does not speak for us neither does any group you dream up of tomorrow! We speak for ourselves!

Hook, line, sinker, SUNK yet again!

Care to try again?

But it doesn't matter what you think. You're not one of the protestors. It seems a lot of them would have a problem with someone having that kind of personal wealth; Do you think their only gripe is about the rich influencing politics? Again, Jon Stewart is a hypocrite for supporting these people, but at the same time sitting on loads of money... I wonder how much tax he does (n't) pay...

Mr. Stewart is a member of The 99% as he is not a billionaire!

How about this, go down to the nearest occupy protest one day, and ask a bunch of people if they are communists or socialists. After you take your survey, share your results with us and tell us just how many of them really are communists.

U.S population is about 300 million... 1% of that is 3 million - are we to believe that America actually has 3 million billionaires ?? I think you might find Jon Stewarts 80 + million puts him into the top 1%...

Yeah I've been going up to occupykc lately, and I'm heading up there for the march tomorrow around 3:00pm. Here's my sign:

Everyone that makes over $3.7 million a year is considered a part of the top 1%.

Everyone from politicians to small business owners to stock brokers to some doctors.

The idea behind the top 1% is more along the lines of the top .001%. The people with that kind of wealth horde it in such a way that multiple generations could spend and spend and spend in such a way not seen since the Seven Years War, and still have billions left over.

I am not a communist or left wing. I think the people of OWS ect... are raising awareness of the major problems in America and putting them to words. They are not perfect but their tryin. We need to realize that by focusing the spotlight on themselves they are causing these needed conversations and actually clarifying the issues that need addressing. The response from various political leaders are very telling also. I never paid much attention to politics, I have always been one of the silent majority, but I feel our country is going done a slippery slope that will be impossible to get out of. I have even wondered about the predictions in the Bible. We have to stop the stupidity, extravagance, and non accountability of the business and political leaders. I am not Jewish, I am not black, I am not gay, I am not left wing. But the people at OWS are as much as American as I am. I actually thought the differences in this country was one of the things that made us great. Or as my brother, who was a lifer in the army would say, " I will defend to my death your right to be wrong" We are the 99% We can be different and still be strong together.


Vote for Ron Paul

The only one blatantly lying is you. I gave direct evidence, even from one of the pamphlets of who is organizing these events, yet all you do is keep telling lies, and lies, and more lies.

No matter what evidence I or anyone else gives people like you will continue to claim "these are lies", but the truth is there for EVERYONE to see, which is why your protests haven't gathered as many protesters as your organizers would like...

Out here in Miami there have been at the most about 100 or so protesters. Not One city has gathered hundreds of thousands of protesters for your movement WHICH SPEAKS VOLUMES...

The OWS movement have been either taken for fools by the organizers of these events, or they know exactly what they are doing, and the mayority of those people who attend these protests know very well that these are protests being gathered by leftwing organizations and groups. As i have said countless of times there has only been a minority of people who are not leftwing in these protests.

BTW, let's look at the logo of the "Occupy Miami" movement...


occupymia.org...

Humm, so the clenched fist popping up again, and the word "REVOLUTION" in RED... I wonder why?...

Let's see how TheImmaculateD1 now claims "it is all coincidence" and how their goal is not really another red socialist revolution around the world...
