I was only saying the people letting the dog chew on the flag did not represent me.

I make no judgements of such a diverse group of people.

Also, it's horrible what happened to the Veteran...I pray for his recovery.

It sounded like a vague general statement. "These people" meaning all OWS protestors.
Sorry if it was my mistake. We just need to remember there are stupid people in every group, and unsavory causes will attach to every movement. Happens every time, no exceptions. The majority of OWS protestors are out there for the good of America and support our country. There are always idiots like that guy with the flag that think hating ones govt or ones countries actions are synonymous with hating ones country which is retarded. Always support your country and countrymen.. your government nah.. don't have to.

To everyone here, ignore right and left wing propaganda. This is a movement for the benefit of Americans.
The left want to claim it and attach it to Obama for election support which most of the protestors are against (against Obama), the right want to paint them as socialist.

It's all b.s. they are just Americans who want to live like they are Americans again.

So much ideology, so little investigation...

Many thanks pianopraze for such fine work. I wish more people would take the time to watch it; but those with a
constipated view of anything outside of Rush and Fox. They won't watch it!

Can you link to any threads that show it was "suspected all along" that ACORN was behind the OWS protests?

Hey TinFoil, I put few of your posts together, from various threads, easy to look up if someone wants to know exact context:


You forgot to mention they wanted to fly the flag upside down like good commie zombies.
Could care less if they did, just proves to me what they are.


The MSM should do a cover story on how pathetic this supposed protest really is, name all the Soros foundations behind its inception just to show that communism doesn't go over well in the US.


You must try harder and veil your commie leanings in many layers of an onion like the professional commies try to do who organize them sheeple herding events.


So, CNN, FOX and the LATimes are not good enough for you?
Where do you get your news Al Jazeera?


Well, I think Im starting to see what your angle is.

Oh, and this:

No news agency is infallible but FOX is probably the most reliable because they are held up to the highest level of scrutiny. Lefties everywhere salivate at the chance to find error in their reports.




Hahahaha,

Attack me all you want with out of context old discussions, I could care less.

I did not create this story, I only brought it to peoples attention here that your Dear Kamrades down in OWS Incorporated land have forever been stained and tainted by the scum that is ACORN.

This flies in the face of all it was billed to be, paying homeless bums $10 an hour to protest, and the $10 an hour is money stolen from honest peoples donations who gave under false pretenses.

This is bad new for honest charity work everywhere, people won't trust what their donations are going to be used for anymore with criminals like ACORN secretly funneling donated money around.

Odd, sort of, how the Fox article quoted in the OP only cites anonymous sources for their story, yet those who counter their claim are named by name. Corporate media understandably would like to put this movement away. The first would be to divide this into ideological factions regardless their commitment to what the movement is about. By what I have seen in this thread it is working.

EXCLUSIVE: Ex-ACORN Operatives Behind the Scene of 'Occupy' Protests


www.foxnews.com

The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities

1st off I believe there are former Acorn people doing things for OWS... that's what they do but they are NOT OWS.

2nd Acorn never did anything wrong. This was proven after the fact they were defunded

3rd OWS is not a Partisan movement. It is a mostly Independant movement,

4th I can't get over the fact the FOX news lies.

5th Why would any American be afraid of this movement. It needs to happen to change Washington and Wallstreet and hopefully the Fed. Thats what most of America is behind by the way.

Stop making this into a Left vs Right thing, because it's not. Only certain channels like MSNBC and FOX want us to believe it. Some politicians have incorrectly labeled the movement. Ignore them. All Politicians are full of it.

People congregating is exactly what they dont want. They want us to squabble with eachother over bullcrap while the Fed and the banks rob us blind. Who paid for these politicians careers.. look that up as well.

My point is simple, we should have been protesting our gov and the banks back when they even brought up the bailout. We need to pay attention to who we elect if we want to prevent this kind of crap in the future because all we have left for now is protest.

This is really what scares the livin **** out of the right wing conservatives...Armed Patriots.
It get harder everyday as more and more real patriots join this movement to fight the corrupt traitors to the 1st amendment and the American working man.

Fox has already shown how they feel about the protests, so of course they will say this. It doesn't matter if it is true, as they have been known to lie in the past. I say this is bunk, unsubstantiated fodder. Even if the paying of people to protest did occur, it was on a very small scale.

The movement, whatever it started out as, has erupted into a national thing, and no one person's agenda is going to make a difference. It will take a collective effort.

Wait what? YOu have to be kidding right? Nice political trolling.......

The "right wingers" were the ones fighting for the 2nd amendment while the liberal left have been trying to shut the right to carry DOWN.........give me a break man......selective memory or blatant hypocrisy?

If you dont recall TPM gatherings were almost ALWAYS armed, while people like YOU and other liberals were screaming bloody murder about it, and talking about how they were just gun toting idiots clinging to their bibles and firearms.....

NOW that OWS is adopting it, all the sudden its ok......

Jesus you guys couldnt be more hypocritical.........

Cute, Here I will clarify for you. I forgot where I was when posting. What we suspected all along = things are not as they seem and forces other than what meet the eye are pulling at the heart of this "movement". I really should have known better but laziness got the best of me. Seems the majority got the drift of what I was saying, but there always has to be one pita out there.

It does not matter who is behind it or why, i am astonished the learned contributers here are so easily misdirected. The real issue is the raising of awareness among the masses that things just are not right. The underling agendas are irrelevant, the relevance lies in the fact that people are waking up, changes have been required and now have a chance of happening like never before.

Its times like this when dis-info, deflection and co-agitation come to the fore and become bkindingly obvious. There can only be one looser in all this, and the people are already enslaved by the system.

So who is really scared? Those that have nothing have nothing to loose.

I wonder.

Are these "paid" "Protesters" showing up as "jobs created" in this weeks reports ?

Maybe the White House missed that


Hey WAIT A MINUTE !

Are these "protesters" still collecting unemployment ?????

Investigation !

I say that might matter !

Paid protesters? Well at least they got a job.


I kid, I kid. I doubt this is true, well maybe. Though I want a little more info from different sources. Fox news has a vendetta against the OWS.

I remain skeptical in till then.

Well, for starters I would require something more than an article that has no sources beyond "un-named", written by a Fox "journalist", who splits her time between writing celebrity "news" and idealogical hit pieces.

I checked the artile carefully...16 times un-named "sources"...not a single actual source.

If she was a journalism major at some community college, this article would earn her an "F"...

but on FOX? Star Power!!!

Climb that ladder baby!!

You won't be relegated to writing about how nude pics of Scarlet Johansan got on the internet forever!

Which - BTW - was this "journalists" last big story!

Fox "News" is a great place for her. Where else can you advance in a news room from celebrity coverage to political correspondant so quickly...all you have to do is write what the execs want to hear, don't worry about accuracy, just cite unamed "sources"...no one checks around here.

Yes, Yes.

But,

it's all about PERCEPTION, not about over thinkng !

The "brains" tend to over simplifiy by assuming everybody else needs to see it one way only.

The average "brain" sees it the way they saw it first......shoot first then maybe ask later


Over-educated thinking always gets it wrong later !

You missed the point....or validated his point.

The video shows that OWS is not simply a "Liberal" movement...and as evidence of that continues to appear in the form above, both the "right-wing" and "left-wing" idealogues, and the media in particular, will have a hard time pigeon holing them.
