The movement is about the misuse and waste of money in politics in the US, not about "lack of jobs", which is a petty excuse to protest in a market economy. It would be one thing if we knew where our money was being wasted, but we don't even know that. This is all looking past the injustice seen in NYC, like this lady trying to cancel her account and being labeled as a criminal. Try looking past the shallow area of your brain calling these people "dirty hippies", and look at the rational part t
@sickmoooocow Yes it is but retards will continue to protect the same banks that have robbed and pillaged this country for decades and believe that they are being patriotic or good citizens when in reality they are brainwashed sheep.
Gee OWS supporters (yeah both of you LMAO) why no mass Tea Party arrests or pepper sprayings? Maybe because the Tea Party protests LEGALLY and respects the rights of other people to do as they please while OWS can't even manage to do something as simple as going into a fucking bank and closing an account without getting arrested. That's too complex for occutards to handle. The only thing stupider than an occutard is an occutard supporter. OWS - Overcome With Stupidity.
@mikeah9000 Do you assume someone was guilty because they where arrested? Do you assume the bill of rights is not really necessary anymore? People got arrested for closing there bank accounts, so therefore, they are guilty of closing their bank accounts? Or in reality, they where guilty of being in the bank as a non employee? Do you think that people should not be legally allowed to step into banks anymore, or are you for arresting people for any reason whatever? Trying to understand
@3314adam Of course he does, he is a moron of the highest order. He is a teabagging expert.
...
I love these morons that claim to be speaking for the American citizen while supporting illegal wars & crooked bankers. Teabaggers are the lowest form of life form, their ignorance is vast & their racist attitudes speak volumes about their character. Does anyone take these idiots seriously? What have the teabaggers done lately that warrants anyones attentions? Sad Pathetic Bastards.
@3314adam People did not get arrested for "closing there bank accounts". They got arrested for walking into a bank and causing a disturbance. It's plainly obvious in the video.People like you are just so deluded you ignore what's in front of your face. I closed a citi bank account last week. Didn't get arrested or have the slightest problem. Gee wonder why? Maybe because I didn't act like a fucking lunatic.
OWS vs the Tea Party..... Let's see. Tea Party = hardly any arrests, doesn't block traffic or obstruct other people, has real political influence with seats in congress, potty trained and doesn't defecate in the street or on cars, well groomed and bathes frequently. OWS = Mass arrests daily, blocks traffic/obstructs people's right to go about their business. Plummeting public approval and no real political power at all with no congressional seats. Not potty trained, poorly groomed, smells bad.
While Obama destroys the Economy and gets us ready for War in IRAN. We are still sitting here listening to the establishment! WHO CONTROLS THE MEDIA, WHO IS JOHN CORZINE AND JAMIE DIAMOND? Why did OBAMA HIRE Timothy Geithner?, former NY FED CHAIRMAN. Why did today on CNBC did the establishment tell us the FEDERAL RESERVE gave more money to Europe? Why are the fools in America think their Government is here to save them? WASHINGTON HAS BEEN HIGHJACKED BY WALL ST. GROW UP AND PAY ATTENTION FOLKS!
@LatinLeo86 "While Obama destroys the Economy and gets us ready for War in IRAN" Where do you people get this stuff? Obama is an economic wrecking ball but he is not going to war in Iran. I mean are you kidding me?? He just pulled troops out of Iraq for no other reason than to boost his presidential campaign and Iraq is already imploding.
The tea baggers are desperate & don't realize why they are hated. Here is the main reasons that they are shunned. Number 1, they have the support of Sarah Palin & Joe the Plumber (two wackos and retarded individuals). Number 2, the majority of their members are plain dumb. Number 3. they are dinosaurs & racists who don't belong in the 21 century.
..
There are many other reasons too numerous to list here. If you are a teabagger, go kill yourself & improve the cumulative IQ of the human race.
Freedom to do what? Take over a bank's lobby, which is private property and disrupt the banks operations? Give me a break. If these people came to your house and started this absurd stupidity you would be on the phone to 911 in less time than it took me to write this.
my god...these arent people there just a bunch of wall street freaks...even this vid is a BS lie about closing there accounts...these sub-humans went into the bank an started to bitch an cry an create a problem (like always) so the bank called the cops an the cops removed these worthless pieces of crap...whats nice about these protests is that it allows real america to see how the left really is, WORTHLESS LAZY CRY BABIES WHO DO NOTHING
@PAprepper1 OWS are nothing but freeloaders wanting a handout. They can't even manage to bathe or remain lice free for any length of time. They are done. Public approval is in the toilet and they are seen for exactly what they are.
Citigroup has corporate ties to these corporations: Time Warner, The Estee Lauder Companies inc, Comcast, AMR, Ecolab, General Mills, HP, Pacific Life, Urban Institute, Raytheon Company, IBM, ALCOA INC, Brookings Institution, Procter and Gamble, Inter-American Dialogue, Target Corporation, Xerox, and finally, Johnson & Johnson
corporate rule what the hell is wrong with you if you really dont think that there is no corruption between the bank and gov't why did they hide a 16 trillion dollar bailout from the genral public and if the occupy movement is such a farce and filled with drug addicts and street trash why is the UN willing to stand up for us. and no show of strength are you kidding me everyday we grow stronger and stronger its time that you need to get off your knees stop blowing the NYPD n open your fuckin eyes
@santos5789 "and if the occupy movement is such a farce and filled with drug addicts and street trash why is the UN willing to stand up for us."
That's your litmus test? Really? The UN? The same organization who's 'peace keepers' are more known for raping the females of indigenous populations than for keeping the peace?
Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs. I will work with Cantor, Paul Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!
The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they can’t be taken away by the government.
@cbasallie "the ZIONIST MEDIA has been INCITING RIOTS" OK now that you've established yourself as an anti-semetic Nazi nut you can go back to jacking off to your picture of Hitler.
CITI BANK is SO BROKE, they should rename it CITI BLANK.. All my people who wish to peacefully protest & change things, HERE IS YOUR FIRST CHANCE TO ATTACK CORPORATE GREED. Explain to your family that there will be no Christmas gifts this year. DO NOT BUY anything from a LARGE COMPANY/CORP!!! IF YOU MUST, buy from only smaller "Mom & Pop" retailers. NOT BEST BUY! NOT MACY'S! NOT NORDSTROM'S! NOT SEARS! NO LARGE RETAILER WHAT-SO-EVER!!! Lets let them see their PROFITS PLUNGE!!!
I was all for OWS until you fucking homo's started insulting Ron Paul on your site. Ron Paul has been fighting this war before you where fucking born. I might add also he did it all by himself, what one of you motherfuckers would have the courage to do that !!! Fuck you OWS.
You silly American People. In my home country Russia. We have no protester. We take them behind building and shoot them. Then we have no protester ever again.
@CodyUSAirmanATC easy for you to say Airman when you're locked in your little military bubble with that guaranteed paycheck twice a month, free medical care, solid job security, etc.
@Annihilate3275 That's irrelevant to my comment. You seem to be jealous that I know how to take care of myself while you beg for everything to come to you for free. Being in the military as an officer allowed me to see things and travel to places I never normally would be able to. Four years on a field trip gave me the financial stability I have now to finish graduate school without having to work. The military isn't a career for most people.You do your time, you move on. Like going to college.
@CodyUSAirmanATC Your entire argument appears completely subjective and full of emotion when you throw out random made-up statistics such as "only one percent of the 99 percenters actually know what is going on." You come off as extremely arrogant, uninformed, biased, and even manipulative when you base your argument on such "statistics."
@Annihilate3275 "Your entire argument appears completely subjective and full of emotion when you throw out random made-up statistics such as "only one percent of the 99 percenters actually know what is going on."" OK, OWS approval according to PPP is 33% and their disapproval is 45%. How do those objective numbers grab you? That said, going strictly by the babbling statements of OWS'ers themselves I think he was generous with the 1% estimate.
@CodyUSAirmanATC And I also served in the AF for six years in a highly lucrative career field (base communications) and am well aware of all the benefits it can provide even if not planning on making it a career. I took full advantage of all of them while still having an educated and level-headed approach to current events.
@Annihilate3275 They earn their money, unlike all the professional entitlement sucking freeloading trash that are supported at tax payer expense with nothing gained in return.
People if you have any money in any bank you better withdraw it now and save it under the mattress. Things are not going to get pretty as the Wall Street Protesters movement escalate and affect the banks in ny.
@otsari1 LMAO Now here it is 3 weeks later and OWS is on life support with 33% approval and 45% disapproval. They've finally been kicked off almost all the property they were squatting on like the freeloaders they are. You're so stupid you don't even know that bank accounts are FDIC insured and your money is a lot safer there than under a mattress.
Anyone know who first fought this fight against a corrupt government in this country,Thats right the Confederate states of america,Im glad the war resulted in the freeing of the slaves,but that isnt what the war was fought over,The FED wanted to take the rights of our states away,AND THEY DID,mission accomplished,evil got what it wanted.Have more respect when you see the rebel flag,REBEL=Patriot
Are ows protesters trying to destroy capitalism, banks, corporation, stock exchanges? What happens next? Ordinary people have jobs in corporations, money in banks, they hold stocks, bonds, everything. If you try to destroy the system, many more people will get poorer, it will become unbearable for everyone and a recipe for civil war. If you want to change things, use elections, use democracy. Don't go for drastic measures of occupation and destruction.
The amusing FACT is that these losers think they are going to be "immortalized" in history. In a manner of speaking, perhaps they will be. But it will be for being dirty. They will be known as the "pooping protestors" It will be known as the "pooping protest". What people are going to remember is going to be the public defecation, urination and vomiting; the drunks and dopers, the vandalism and crime. When these idiots are old they will probably be mortified for having been there.
@fiona3637 Mortified for being arrested for withdrawing their money from the bank? if you just happened to be there, you would have been arrested too, are you ok with that?
@TorMatthews You guys need to QUIT LYING. They were NOT ARRESTED FOR WITHDRAWING MONEY FROM THE BANK!!!!!!!! They were arrested for stickin g around and being disruptive and preventing customers and the bank from continuing their business! They were acting like dipwads and deserved to be arrested.
@fiona3637 Whoever told you that, lied. Im sorry that the truth is hard to swallow, but when someone is dragged back inside a bank because they were in a bank earlier, whats going on is obvious. Take that with the tons of unrefutable video evidence of police brutality where nothing is being done, we have to both unite against these disgusting, manipulative, and exploitive organizations that only serve to make your life and everyone else's life harder so they may fly around in a private jet.
Yeash, right, the video lied. The video didn't really show occuloons going into the bank and causing a disruption by babbling like the nuts they undeniably are.
@Annihilate3275 A lot of service men and women support the movement. As I said before, only 1% of the 99% know what the hell they're talking about. The rest are sheep. Like Mr "Herp a derp I go to college, the governement should pay for my art major herp a derp". The idiocy could be compared to the lady who said "Obama is going to pay my bills" a few years ago. Take a loan like everyone else or join the military. I took a loan and repaid it with my paychecks so my kids can use my G.I. Bill.
@fiona3637 "They were arrested for stickin g around and being disruptive and preventing customers and the bank from continuing their business!" Ohhhhh. Now I get it. The customer of the bank was arrested so that customers would not be inconvenienced...... Wow..... How did I miss that? Thanks for cluing me in. Keep spreading the word and making people the people of this world more [insert adjective here]!
@3314adam Using logic with teabaggers is like teaching your dog calculus. Sure he may sit there and tilt his head and look like he understands the concept when in reality he is waiting for a treat or begging to go outside to urinate.
@TorMatthews "Mortified for being arrested for withdrawing their money from the bank? if you just happened to be there, you would have been arrested too, are you ok with that?"
BS they were arrested for doing what they always do: Causing a childish scene and disrupting everything and everyone around them.
Unbelievable! I am taking my money out of the bank! Not only have they robbed us financially in America but they have also robbed our freedom of speech as well.
@TruthSeekingHuman221 Maybe somebody should show up on your doorstep and start screaming like a complete lunatic the way the occutards always do. I'd like to see how tolerant you are of their 'free speech'.
Yeah there is another video that needs to be posted in correlation to this. The other video clearly shows they were asked to leave, and blocked business operation. When they were asked to leave, they were trespassing when they didn't leave.
The "Trash Capitalism Mob" (TCM) heap up their trash wherever they are found festering. Taxpayers pay cleaners to remove their trash before it stinks up the city. Other people are paid to clean up their faeces. Demented TCM'ers don't even use doggy bags to bag their crap.
They weren't arrested for closing their accounts, they were arrested for impeding the normal business operations of the bank. They asked to close their accounts but then prevented the bank from functioning so that their request could be honored. They should be arrested. All those white criminals should be arrested.
burning your money would sound like more of a political statement, rather than marching into a bank and holding a bitch and whine fest about your personal debt.
"It was about 27, 28 of us. When we got to the bank, we marched in, and clapped, and had a meeting. We had an open forum, and we actually tried to involve the bank employees, if they wished. And a few people talked about student loans and what debt was doing to them as individuals, and what could be changed about that." - from a protester that was arrested at the bank
NYPD are working for the rich and not for the people! I saw too many false arrests I've seen wanton abuse without provocation! I've seen unnecessary intimitation with threats of arrests and running over protesters with horses and scooters! I seen you erect these orange net barriers and pepper spray people who never deserved anything like that remotely! You made numerous false arrests! With such oppressive behavior is why we don't see you as human beings anymore!
@VerseInfinitum You are delusional. I can only hope you are admitted. False arrests? Deliberately disrupting business at a CitiBank is disturbing the peace. The NYPD happens to serve NYC and respond to any crime. Yet when they come after you for being an agitator they're suddenly provoking you and being abusive? How about you tards stop putting yourselves in these situations in the first place. The police are well within their rights to use whatever force necessary against you.
@CarlAsvin Who the hell do you think you are? You're dumb enough to believe in NYPD's lies! Maybe you should check yourself before you make such idiotic suggestions. People went to Citibank to close their accounts and the videos speak for themselves! Maybe you should be admitted. Nobody provoked the cops to do anything but they pushed the one lady and tackled some else outside. Don't you ever call me delusional again!
@VerseInfinitum Yes, you are delusional. Again, if people were just innocently going to close a bank account the NYPD wouldn't interfere. I watched the video. These "customers" are blatantly disturbing the peace and trying to tarnish the banks reputation. I'm surprised Citi didn't toss them a check and kick their asses out personally. I work at a Wall Street firm, young man. These people were breaking the law and got what they deserved. No one is listening. Put the sign down and go home now.
@CarlAsvin No I'm not delusional! I warned you about writing such nonsense! First of all, the bank managers locked them inside before they called NYPD for you information. Second, nobody's tarnishing any banks reputation silly, they were here to close their accounts! Citibank should've just closed their accounts and gone on with their business. But that just goes to show how naive you really are. Working for a Wall Street firm it comes to no surprise that you responded this way!
@VerseInfinitum A group of them walked into the bank in unison likely going up to a teller prattling off something pretentious like "We are the 99%, we are here to close our bank accounts!" Why else would they come as a group? This was protest-related and Citi doesn't want that. I don't work for Citi so it's not in my interest to defend them, but this applies for any bank. It does tarnish a banks reputation when people are going about their everyday banking and a protest group marches in.
Long website address but it's worth every effort to retrieve it. If you ever want to know what the legitimate activists are here for. It would save you hours of interviews and research. Check this video out because it's says it all.
@CarlAsvin: Why do you think it's wrong for people to make a political statement with their money? It's OK for corporations with their so called "free speech" but not for American citizens? I don't understand that. I think it's wrong not to make a statement with your money considering the violently immoral tactics used by the Corporate Elite.
@VerseInfinitum I'm going to follow up with my last comment with this: watch?v=D_S1xA7ihmw which I found directly after I posted. Does this look like casually strolling inside to close an account to you? Citi went easy on them, I'm surprised they don't slap charges against protesters for defamation. Sir, you are obviously a passionate person but a misguided one. Working for a Wall Street firm has nothing to do with my commitment to rationale inquiry. I could just as well be in the peacecorps.
@CarlAsvin WTF??? I saw the video called "Breaking News! Occupy Wall Street Citibank Before Being Arrested Inside" you told me about and I checked it out? He should've voiced his concern at Zuccotti Park like everyone else! Occupy Wall Street is as complex of an issue as the diversity of people who showed up. I met plenty of good willed people. However, this man in particular screwed up and complicated this issue for many of the others who are here to address the issues.
@VerseInfinitum "No I'm not delusional! I warned you about writing such nonsense! First of all, the bank managers locked them inside before they called NYPD for you information. Second, nobody's tarnishing any banks reputation silly, they were here to close their accounts!"
Funny, I've closed accounts at banks before and never had the slightest trouble. Of course I didn't go in screaming and making a scene like a mental patient off his meds either.
@VerseInfinitum "Who the hell do you think you are? You're dumb enough to believe in NYPD's lies! "
He probably thinks he's somebody who watched the video of OWS behaving like the lunatics they are. All you have to do is put a camera on occukooks and they do the rest.
@steve001968 Hey steve001968 what made you think I believe in NYPD lies? Here's a good video for you, check out watch?v=kiQAOqNeYSs&list=PLB8507612A0E4EA1F&index=34&feature=plpp_video and you'll learn what I know. Maybe this video by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks and this whole issue would make sense. By the way, I know what I am and I know what to believe in.
@VerseInfinitum "Hey steve001968 what made you think I believe in NYPD lies? "
I don't need to rely on NYPD 'lies'. I can rely on the video right here which shows OWS going into a bank lobby, being disruptive and generally acting like a bunch of nuts. What more do I need???? If you want to try to fool people about what these kooks are about then you are going to have to keep them off camera and away from microphones. That's really all there is to it.
@VerseInfinitum "NYPD are working for the rich and not for the people!"
NYPD are working for the real 99% who want to use the streets sidewalks and parks without being blocked and harassed by the .001% who call themselves the 99%.
It is clear the #OWS "quack pots" artificially created the situation including the dressed up individuals who got swept away by the cops. I am sure they are on the proverbial payroll. Too bad they had to take all their money out, I hear Citibank is really doing well. Get a clue protesters, you don't make real change by trying to collapse a system. You create violence which leads to death and a larger separation of the elite socialists and worker. Read history, it may shed some light. @Pbizzel
@huntingtonbeachify Heros? Heros aren't arrested for being a public nuisance at a bank. Any bank allows a customer to freely close an account and don't arrest people for that. These people were obviously creating a scene and harassing other bank customers. You are clearly delusional and have some serious growing up to do. If you don't like these "banks" then blame Obama who received millions in campaign aid from them. From the sound of you, I'm sure you voted for the man.
What country do I live in that this happens? A woman clearly fighting for others rights gets picked up and pushed inside by a vigilante & police assist him? Let's hope that footage accomplishes something.
@ak02155 wont do much thats why so many drink, as they get old they learn to much ,the hell is every were they soon learn the bad out number the good.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain:
for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”-Rom 13:1-7
7 of the top ten wealthiest members of Congress are Democrats.
Why is that the leadership of Marxism/Socialism/Communism always from from the super wealthy?
Sen. John Kerry $193 million Sen. Jay Rockefeller $82 million Sen. Mark Warner $76 million Rep. Jared Polis $66 million Sen. Frank Lautenberg $55 million Sen. Richard Blumenthal $53 million Sen. Diane Fienstein $43 million
@Freedom3777 Socialism and communism always benefit the wealthy and most politically well connected in practice despite all their BS to the contrary. When you have the government controlling wealth do you really think it won't go to those in political power and their allies? Only an occukook is stupid enough to think that.
@AnarchistMonk Capitalism depends on free markets and competition. Government control is exactly the opposite of a free market and no, sorry we are not adopting anarchist stupidity. It's not happening. You might as well forget about it.
@steve001968 I agree with your point and am glad you see the difference, but I will maintain the hope that somewhere mankind will be allowed to live freely. Intelligently or otherwise.
Look at this double standard. Why aren't any police policing the police at protests. Watch this on Youtube: "Thousands of Chicago Police Surround City Hall" or "NYPD tix-fix - New York Post" or16 NYPD officers charged in Ticket Fixing case with Ties to a Drug Dealer". What's that saying again "Do as I say not as I do".
The top bankers have committed crimes,frauds and stolen.Why are people just sitting there watching? .Lets demand that they be put in jail! Politicians aren't going to do it .It's up to us to get the job done. Lets demand it.Put it in your list and tell others.
Simply by getting this done we'd solve a grate part of the problem.
@smash1man "The top bankers have committed crimes,frauds and stolen.Why are people just sitting there watching? .Lets demand that they be put in jail!"
You just demanded it. How's it working? Any in jail yet?[snicker]
These people did not go in there to close their accounts. They went in there protesting and were warned several times to leave as well as being told that they could continue to do what they wanted to do as long as they were outside and they still refused to leave. Get your facts right
@christopherlamm1 The OWS crowd and their supporters don't have facts, just feelings and emotions. They've thrown out rationality and replaced with whatever "feels" like they should do. Same as what happened with the peace, sit-ins in the 60s. Just repackaged.
The Anti-War and Civil Rights movements were stupid and a waste of time.
Everything was just fine before certain people started getting uppity and messing around with the status quo.
These Occupy Wall Streeters need to just create manageable jobs with livable wages out of thin air and then use those jobs to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, the way they do on sentry221's home planet of Moronixia VII.
@VysetheTard You like to twist facts. Typical of a liberal. I never said anything about the Civil Rights movement. I said "Hippie movement" of the 60s which was about anti-establishment, pure feelings, no brains. They failed to understand like Hanoi Jane that Communism was an evil attempting to take over as many countries as possible. So Vietnam was not a stupid war, but it was stupid to send our troops in there with 1 hand tied behind their back.
You didn't say "Hippie" anything. You said "peace" and "sit-ins". The peace movement was against the Vietnam War; the sit-in movement was for improved civil rights.
Say what you mean next time.
Also, Communism has nothing to do with Occupy Wall Street, so you can dispense with trying to conflate the two. You needn't be a Communist to want to restore balance to a tilted table.
@VysetheTard "You needn't be a Communist to want to restore balance to a tilted table."
I agree, it's time to restore balance. It's absurd that the wealthiest 1%, who have earned their wealth while the welfare class sits on it's collective butt doing nothing, pays 28% of all the taxes. It's time to end welfare and make the welfare class start pulling it's own weight instead of simply mooching off of everyone else.
@VysetheTard "These Occupy Wall Streeters need to just create manageable jobs with livable wages out of thin air and then use those jobs to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps,"
Yep. Pretty much that's exactly what they need to do. It's amazing how little wealth is created by whining about everyone and everything.
Occupy Wall Street was started by communist groups, including the Tides Foundation, the American Communist Party, the American Socialist Party and the Communist Revolutionary Party. Google "Occupy Wall Street Poster," to see their official recruiting poster. You will see the picture of a man, using a hammer to beat a sword into the shape of a sickle.
The paper trail -> House of Rothschild -> George Soros -> Open Society Foundation -> Tides Foundation -> Adbusters -> Occupy Wall Street. WAKE UP! 1) Fix the Demands. 2) Keep Occupying, but branch out to the PRIVATE Fed, WH, House, Senate. 3) Stop crying about Capitalism - Free Market is FREEDOM! 4) Stop using Occupy to push your insane progressive agenda(NWO). 5) Vote Ron Paul.
This has been flagged as spam show
Occupy Wall Street is trash. RON PAUL 2012!!!

Do you think that people should not be legally allowed to step into banks anymore, or are you for arresting people for any reason whatever? Trying to understand

Tea Party = hardly any arrests, doesn't block traffic or obstruct other people, has real political influence with seats in congress, potty trained and doesn't defecate in the street or on cars, well groomed and bathes frequently. OWS = Mass arrests daily, blocks traffic/obstructs people's right to go about their business. Plummeting public approval and no real political power at all with no congressional seats. Not potty trained, poorly groomed, smells bad.

The tea baggers are desperate & don't realize why they are hated. Here is the main reasons that they are shunned. Number 1, they have the support of Sarah Palin & Joe the Plumber (two wackos and retarded individuals). Number 2, the majority of their members are plain dumb. Number 3. they are dinosaurs & racists who don't belong in the 21 century.
..
There are many other reasons too numerous to list here. If you are a teabagger, go kill yourself & improve the cumulative IQ of the human race.

Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs. I will work with Cantor, Paul Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!

You create violence which leads to death and a larger separation of the elite socialists and worker. Read history, it may shed some light. @Pbizzel

Why kidnap the customers? Let them go if you dont like them.

@huntingtonbeachify Heros? Heros aren't arrested for being a public nuisance at a bank. Any bank allows a customer to freely close an account and don't arrest people for that. These people were obviously creating a scene and harassing other bank customers. You are clearly delusional and have some serious growing up to do. If you don't like these "banks" then blame Obama who received millions in campaign aid from them. From the sound of you, I'm sure you voted for the man.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain:

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”-Rom 13:1-7

7 of the top ten wealthiest members of Congress are Democrats.
Why is that the leadership of Marxism/Socialism/Communism always from from the super wealthy?

@Freedom3777 Socialism and communism always benefit the wealthy and most politically well connected in practice despite all their BS to the contrary. When you have the government controlling wealth do you really think it won't go to those in political power and their allies? Only an occukook is stupid enough to think that.

Look at this double standard. Why aren't any police policing the police at protests. Watch this on Youtube: "Thousands of Chicago Police Surround City Hall" or "NYPD tix-fix - New York Post" or16 NYPD officers charged in Ticket Fixing case with Ties to a Drug Dealer". What's that saying again "Do as I say not as I do".

These people did not go in there to close their accounts. They went in there protesting and were warned several times to leave as well as being told that they could continue to do what they wanted to do as long as they were outside and they still refused to leave. Get your facts right

@christopherlamm1 The OWS crowd and their supporters don't have facts, just feelings and emotions. They've thrown out rationality and replaced with whatever "feels" like they should do. Same as what happened with the peace, sit-ins in the 60s. Just repackaged.

The Anti-War and Civil Rights movements were stupid and a waste of time.
Everything was just fine before certain people started getting uppity and messing around with the status quo.
These Occupy Wall Streeters need to just create manageable jobs with livable wages out of thin air and then use those jobs to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, the way they do on sentry221's home planet of Moronixia VII.

@VysetheTard You like to twist facts. Typical of a liberal. I never said anything about the Civil Rights movement. I said "Hippie movement" of the 60s which was about anti-establishment, pure feelings, no brains. They failed to understand like Hanoi Jane that Communism was an evil attempting to take over as many countries as possible. So Vietnam was not a stupid war, but it was stupid to send our troops in there with 1 hand tied behind their back.
sentry221 3 months ago
@sentry221
You didn't say "Hippie" anything. You said "peace" and "sit-ins". The peace movement was against the Vietnam War; the sit-in movement was for improved civil rights.
Say what you mean next time.
Also, Communism has nothing to do with Occupy Wall Street, so you can dispense with trying to conflate the two. You needn't be a Communist to want to restore balance to a tilted table.

@VysetheTard "You needn't be a Communist to want to restore balance to a tilted table."
I agree, it's time to restore balance. It's absurd that the wealthiest 1%, who have earned their wealth while the welfare class sits on it's collective butt doing nothing, pays 28% of all the taxes. It's time to end welfare and make the welfare class start pulling it's own weight instead of simply mooching off of everyone else.

Yep. Pretty much that's exactly what they need to do. It's amazing how little wealth is created by whining about everyone and everything.

Occupy Wall Street was started by communist groups, including the Tides Foundation, the American Communist Party, the American Socialist Party and the Communist Revolutionary Party. Google "Occupy Wall Street Poster," to see their official recruiting poster. You will see the picture of a man, using a hammer to beat a sword into the shape of a sickle.

The paper trail -> House of Rothschild -> George Soros -> Open Society Foundation -> Tides Foundation -> Adbusters -> Occupy Wall Street. WAKE UP! 1) Fix the Demands. 2) Keep Occupying, but branch out to the PRIVATE Fed, WH, House, Senate. 3) Stop crying about Capitalism - Free Market is FREEDOM! 4) Stop using Occupy to push your insane progressive agenda(NWO). 5) Vote Ron Paul.
