Seriously, does anyone know what the majority of these people
are protesing for? Everytime I see them interviewed each
one has a different reason to be there.
What solutions are they offering?
""Continued missed shifts represent economic hardship for maritime workers, truckers, and their families, as well as lost jobs and lost tax revenue for our region.""
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&S have no clue they are hurting independent people and businesses.
Well when your next pair of underwear is newspaper you'll know why.
NAPALM and F16's it's the only choice. Clear all of them out now or it's going to get much worse later.
enough is enough. Sure you have a right to protest but you DO NOT have the right to live on public land, shut down businesses or disobey police orders. No one has those rights. All the occupy "camps" should be shut down.
Just wait until Boston complains it has no budget to handle clearing the roads but yet we have budget to supply electricity and police to the occupy camp. The tax payers should file civil suits against the occupyers.
Oakland, California (CNN) -- Authorities used tear gas early Thursday on anti-Wall Street protesters who defied orders to disperse after earlier shutting down the Port of Oakland, California, police said.
A crowd of several hundred people threw rocks and shot fireworks at officers after being asked to leave the scene, prompting officers to fire tear gas, authorities said.
After the port protest, Occupy Oakland demonstrators returned to a city park and nearby streets, where the violence broke out.
Hazy video from the scene, posted on the Internet, showed a fire burning and fireworks exploding as at least one protester threw objects.
Police said in a statement that after a day of "primarily peaceful" demonstrations, they responded to a late-night call that protesters had broken into and occupied a downtown building and set several fires.
"The protesters began hurling rocks, explosives, bottles and flaming objects at responding officers," the statement said. "Several private and municipal buildings sustained heavy vandalism."
Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested, police said.
Police issued their first order to protesters to clear the area about 11:55 p.m., the statement said. After "repeated orders" were issued, police were then ordered to fire tear gas and bean bags at the demonstrators.
Saul Alinsky ..."A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism."
OBAMA.....“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,”
PELOSI.... "God bless them," Pelosi said, "for their spontaneity. It's independent ... it's young, it's spontaneous, and it's focused. And it's going to be effective."

LOL, just like the Tea Party, all the arrests,the drugs, police needing baricades to allow chidren to get to school, threatening to use molitoff cocktails and burning down New York.
I'm glad Qbama and Pelosie are speaking up supporting the Occupiers,that dam Tea Party is nothing more then a bunch of anarchists.
"-- At about 1:40 p.m., police started forcefully clearing Zuccotti Park, shoving protesters with their batons and making more arrests. The fracas became bloody after a cop's hat was flipped off his head.
Witnesses said they were unsure what sparked the police action, but said no warning was issued. Protesters were penned inside the park as cops allowed no one to enter or exit the area.
-- At about the same time, a contingent of protesters decided to storm City Hall, but unknowingly ran to the Department of Education building on Chambers Street. Once there, they comically chanted, “Bloomberg must go! Bloomberg must go!”
Finally, one of the clueless demonstrators realized the mistake and told the others: “This isn’t City Hall?”
They then ran to 1 Centre Street, where one exclaimed: “There it is! That’s City Hall!” and the chanting resumed."
If Liz Warren is the Dem candidate in MA, I want produce an ad for Scott Brown.
Opening shot would be the occupy camps with drum cirlces and hippies, etc. Then the shots escalate to scenes of violence and injured cops, super imposed over the scenes will be Warren's comments that she is mentor or catalyst for the occupy movements. Next show hard working people, families, etc and have Scott Brown say, this is who I repesent and were I come from.

This is ridiculous and the exact opposite could be done against any Republican politician that supported the Tea Party. Use images and video of the extremists to misconstrue the founding principle.

Your comment is even more ridiculous. Are you trying to compare the tea party gatherings to the Occupy Protests? You need to have your head examined. Your hard on for the tea party is really affecting your judgement.
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Come on Johnny. Ar you going to seriously suggest that the occupiers are presenting themselves in a similar fashion to tea partiers? You see no difference in the behavior of those 2 groups?
How many tea partiers got arrested?
How many cops did tea partiers send to the hospital?
Ho many public parks did tea partiers use as personal toilets?
How many small businesses were negatively impacted by tea partiers?
Lots of people don't agree with the tea party agenda, and that's fine. But the tea partiers weren't a bunch of annoying anarchists. The tea partiers, by and large, didn't bother anybody.

You show me ONE, ONE police office injured by the tea party? You show me ONE repuplican who BOASTED that they were the catalyst for the tea party?
Seriously Johnny, if you really believe "the exact opposite" can be dont to a repub, your'e clueless. Out of your mind.
You do know what warren said, right?
“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she told The Daily Beast.
Hmm, what they do? Interesting. Well Johnny, tell me, what are they doing?
