Yeah he always uses people's own words to make them look stupid which is great.
Jon Stewart is paticularly good at this. He is often spot on and halrious whith his comentarys.
It seems like the TPTB don't even care how they appear to the awake and aware Americans anymore, nothing can stop their agendas in their minds.

They are legends in their own ill minds!
I don't believe they are so smart. They are scary. They always and forever have, banked on scary. And then Dorothy and the lion pulled back the curtain. (Got on the internet...)

Jon Stewart is at it again exposing political hypocrisy. In this video that aired on The Daily Show on 10/18, he shows how some of the very people who were calling for Americans to "rise up", "take back the country" and so on, are now publically expressing their opposition to the occupy protests which have now spread around the country.

It just goes to show you that stewart has no idea what he is talking about and only sees the light through his biased glasses.
Since I guess he is talking about the tea party, it really shows his ignorance or he is purposefully being disingenuous since the tea party and OWS really don't want the same thing. The tea party is about reducing the size of government, cutting burdensome regulations and lowering taxes to name just a few points. The flea party on the other hand want larger government, more government regulation & control and higher taxes to pay for it all.edit on 10/22/2011 by WhatTheory because: (no reason given)

The lack of leadership makes it truly democratic. If there was just one person or a group of people in charge, then maybe they could be corrupted/bought out. All of the people can have an opportunity to say what they want to the group, give whatever speech, idea for an event, etc.
The problem is lack of true organization with Occupy Wall St and other occupy movements.
True, we have a guy at occupykc who flipped off the news crew when they were filming live. People like that might make it look like a group of pissed off anarchists or something, but that's just one guy out of the hundreds.
If they were doing what they started doing there would be no problem - protesting peacefully by sitting there being good boys and girls. The problem is now that multiple of thousands have flocked to the crowds, not all are restrained and disciplined to protest properly.
Dirty, yes that wouldn't suprise me. Peeing in the bushes, well that's a little messed up but I wouldn't doubt it. At occupykc there are several porta-potty's set up, but IDK if those can be put up legally in all places. Littering, again I can only speak for occupykc, but whenever we march somewhere, we always clean up before we leave. It's really a lot more organized than one might think.
That's what a lot of people who were Pro Occupy, are now upset about. Many people are dirty, they pee in the bushes, they do drugs, they litter all over the place etc.
I don't think that's a fair description for all of the occupy protests though. There are dozens all over the country, naturally some will have more people and a higher ratio of clowns like the guy I described earlier who flipped off the news crew.
That's the kind of thing people don't want to see in their neighborhoods and they should not have to.
Nah I think you're overreacting.
I knew this would happen. I said it in many posts. Whenever you get masses of people together like this with no hard rules on conduct and self discipline you get a slow steady decline to anarchy.
With all of the police brutality going on lately, eventually one person might snap and attack a cop. That could possibly turn ugly depending on how the other cops/protesters reacted. Everybody has done a good job of keeping it peaceful though.
Next step is violence.

Sure, the tea party might disagree with them on ideology. But still, they were calling for Americans to "take to the streets" and stuff like that, and when people do it but for different reasons, they're characterized as "mobs". I think that is hypocritical.

So when OWS comes along, spouting the opposite - corporate accountability, government responsibility, and the reinstitution if the progressive tax rates that kept our economy moving - the tea Party people are left flummoxed, flabbergasted, and angry. Doesn't help that OWS has been vastly more popular.
