Gotta luv the way that the right fringe demonizes Acorn, as if registering poor people to vote is like the invasion of Poland, or a harbinger of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Poor people are kinda scary- they're just like us, only they're poor. Might give reasonable people pause, reason to thank their lucky stars.

Nah. Fuck 'em. I got mine! Right, Spidey?

LOL, Acorn was shut down. Many of their members were brought up and convicted of voter registration fraud. Obama even signed the bill that effectively cut all funding for Acorn. What a joke.
 
To be perfectly honest, I've really stopped caring about trying to get the hardcore conservative Fox News brainwashed types to see the light. They aren't going to change, and will defend the GOP until their dying breaths. It's not even about finding a solution to them, it's 100% about defeating the "leftist socialist liberal commies".

The reality is this; they don't matter. They are and will always be a minority. It's the massive chunk of Americans sitting in the middle of the political spectrum that need to be coerced into action. One this starts happening the movement will take on a whole different kind of momentum.
 
Lol, "coerced into action" Ya got to love the leftist idea that it's ok to "coerce into action" citizens. I wonder what kind of momentum you get when the extremists like yourself start "coercing" people into some kind of action?

But you have no problems with the hard core lefties that see no wrong with OWS?

Just simple amazing. The shear number of the you OWS supports that cannot stand different pov's. While claiming that you are in some ways open minded. Just keep talking.

And you better crank up the violence, fewer people are caring.

Not quite- some of their former canvassers were convicted, often when the parent organization pointed out discrepancies to the govt.

Obviously, you'll believe what you want to believe. It's the essence of modern conservatism.
 
Should we start posting isolated incidents of us military forces blowing up kids in libya?

I saw a youtube video the other day of a little libyan boy w\ most of his jaw blown off, and a little girl w\ a huge chunk missing out of her ankle and various other wounds.

I mean.. if we want to bring up isolated incidents.

If this was a thread about us military forces. Then maybe.

This is OWS.

The supporters claim that these are all 'isolated' incidents.

Whats the line when they go from being 'isolated', to just being part of the movement? Its like this is the first time OWS destroyed something, or has and 'isolated' incident. This is starting to be happening more frequently.
 
income inequality stems from the government not treating us all equally under the law. special groups and special interests shouldn't be given special treatment.

your right. high income earners pay more in taxes. low income owners pay little to no income taxes, plus some get money back.

SAN DIEGO (CBS) — A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.

“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.

Uhhh, did you read what is on that page? "filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy" and "This domain for sale".
 
A business owner near the Occupy Wall Street encampment claims she has been repeatedly harassed and threatened with bodily harm by protesters after she and her employees refused to give in to their outlandish demands.

“I’ve been told, ‘Watch your back!’ 10 times,” Stacey Tzortzatos, owner of Panini & Co. Breads, located across from Zuccotti Park, told The Post yesterday.

She and her employees are terrified by the constant threats, which she said began after she demanded the protesters stop using her shop’s restroom as a place to bathe every day.

The final straw came about two weeks ago, when the demonstrators broke a bathroom sink, flooding the shop, and clogged the toilet -- setting her back $3,000 in damages.

She put up a sign that said the bathroom was out of order, but they tore it down shortly afterward, she said.

“I have the police in here 10 times a day, [and] I’m the bouncer. I’ve been called the spawn of the devil. “It’s unbelievable what goes on in here every day, ” Tzortzatos said.

And on Friday, she said, a crazed squatter burst into the shop and demanded that workers fill a 10-gallon container of water.

When they refused, “he banged it on the ground and started yelling” and threatened the staff, she said.

“He said he was entitled to have it for free.”

Tzortzatos said the unsafe conditions begin at around 5 p.m. every day, when “they come from the park drunk, under the influence of something.

“They use one of our doorways as a bathroom, and we have to scrub it down every morning.

“I’ve had people come in here and yell, ‘Boycott! Boycott!’

“They unplugged my ATM machine and plugged in their computers,” Tzortzatos said.

Another businessman, who complained to The Post about the squatters’ behavior last week, said yesterday that the situation has since deteriorated, adding, “You don’t know the half of it.”

But the protesters appear to be digging in, erecting three of what will eventually be more than two dozen, 16-by-16-foot military-style tents that will help them stave off hypothermia in the coming winter.
