All of those things you posted have NOTHING to do with class warfare. Gee, so now it's somehow picking on the rich if we don't allow them to give big paying jobs to people who pass their laws?
Do you think investigating street gangs is also class warfare?
Considering the way they reacted to Steve Job's death, I don't think they are against creating wealth - just creating wealth by unethical methods.
In a move that may redefine the term “strange bedfellows,” the American Nazi Party issued an official endorsement of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement on Sunday afternoon. The announcement put the organization, a self-described “National Socialist” political party, in company with the Socialist Party USA, which explained its own support for the left-wing protesters in a nationwide conference call last Tuesday night, crediting organized labor with the protests’ strength and sophistication to date.

“I bring greetings and solidarity from the Communist Party,” Bachtell said to hoots and applause. “We are here, marching side-by-side. We’ll sleep here. We’ll be with this movement ’til the very – ’til we make all the changes that we know we have to make.”
Bachtell also organized the Tuesday evening conference call, with an online call to action that framed the Communist Party’s involvement as one part of a larger movement uniting the “Occupy” protesters with a “Week of Action for Jobs” organized by the AFL-CIO, and with congressional Democrats’ push to pass President Obama’s American Jobs Act.
“A big challenge for the CPUSA and left, progressive movements is to link these demonstrations with the labor led all-people’s coalition and help deepen understanding that the path to progress must be through electoral and political action including defeating Republican Tea Party reaction in 2012.”

The occupying protesters' day got off to a good start. Iran's supreme leader and "new leftists" in the People's Republic of China have endorsed their cause.
During a speech yesterday in Kermanshah, Iran, before a crowd of "tens of thousands," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said:
"The corruption of the capitalist regime has become evident for these people (the protesters)... This movement will soar to completely mark the downfall of the West and the capitalist regime."
In a show of support for the U.S. occupiers, public gatherings have been held in at least two Chinese cities. Both gatherings were unhindered by Chinese authorities. Four days ago, in the city square of Luoyang in Henan province, participants "put up a big picture of Mao and displayed a huge banner with the slogan "To Staunchly Support American People's Great 'Wall Street' Revolution!"".
Norman Thomas, a U.S. Socialist Party candidate for president, once famously said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
Thomas ran for president six consecutive times from 1928. He needn’t have bothered, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and subsequent Democrat Presidents introduced most of the planks of the Communist Manifesto and we live with them to this day.
The Occupy Wall Street youngsters are the latest foot soldiers of Communism, though it is likely most are too ignorant to realize it. They have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in government schools and by Hollywood and the media that they have no idea how they are being used by labor unions and other leftist organizations.
Even more laughable is the fact that some of these protesters are actually supporters of Barack Obama despite the fact that his 2008 presidential campaign was supported by a huge number of Wall Street insiders and Fortune 500 corporate interests. The George Soros financed MoveOn.Org political action group is said to also be getting involved in steering the protests in a direction that will undoubtedly be as favorable to the establishment as possible. Soros is a wealthy billionaire insider and an individual you would think these protesters would be against. It is laughable that the protesters don't even question the fact that their so-called movement is now being supported by an organization that is financed by somebody as closely tied into the elite as Soros is.

Yet you ignore what conservative ATSers are saying about the actual events.
You do realize that you are working real hard to protect the status quo here?

Which conservative ATSers? Oh yah, one guy who went to a local Occupy. Who else? Can you not just see with your own eyes who is being represented in these protests?

I think at this time trying to say OWS is not a Leftist protest is to say the sky is really green, not blue. Denying the obvious.
That doesn't mean that their message is any less valid.. but don't be surprised that many will not line up behind the "99%" because their ideologies will push many away. And not only Conservatives either, the far left and far right make up a small portion of the population, many middle of the road folks may be turned off by the blatant ....... dare I say... hippy-ness of the "camps"

Go to event instead of being a useful tool my friend.
If you get all your perspective from TV or the radio, or ATS members who do... you are going
to have a very biased POV like you do. Many people are being represented, individuality
everyone has an opinion...edit on 17-10-2011 by mastahunta because: (no reason given)
