Putting an X beside the Tea Party and racism is highly amusing.

Actually it is very true. There hasn't been a shortage of people willing to run up to the camera and spout their stupidity to a camera about Jews controlling the world, etc... at the occupy camps. Now that the occupy crowd has jumped over the edge it seems there are alot of people trying to draw parallels between the two groups.


At the Tea party events whatever racism there was was either trumped up bs from
  1. hate mongers trolling for hate and finding one loon in a crowd of thousands.
  2. people associating any criticism of Obama with racism
  3. people immediately associating anything conservative with racism
  4. people who deliberately went to the event with racist signs to make the Tea party look racist.

The only thing that these two groups have in common is they feel government has let them down. The Tea Party, on the other hand, organized a political movement and the the totally bat#### crazy thing of voting for candidates they wanted in an election. Several of whom were not white. CRAZY!

How can you seriously say any of that and not consider the same to be true for OWS? Do you really believe that all the movements are occupied by only WASPs? Ridiculous.

The last point "people who deliberately went to the event with racist signs to make the Tea party look racis," really makes me laugh. Oh yeah, for sure. All the obnoxious racist people are just liberal conspirators trying to make us look bad! But all the OWS dudes are true to their anti-semetic beliefs. I realize I'm putting words in your mouth, but that's exactly how that point comes across.

There are extremes on both sides, to suggest that the Tea Party is void of all things involved in that infographic is naive. Even for you, HOZ.

Dr. Thomas Sowell

The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barrack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.

It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.

It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals : defacating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenents of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.

It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor.

It is an America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.

Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning o fwhat he and his comrades are capable of.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America.

Socialism in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

Sam the Eagle flashbacks

The Muppet Show: Episode #3.7" (1978)Sam the American Eagle: Mr. Cooper.
Alice Cooper: [turns abruptly to face him, wearing much goth make-up] Yes?
Sam the American Eagle: Oh, good grief! Let me come right to the point. You, sir, are a demented, sick, degenerate, barbaric, naughty freako!
Alice Cooper: [smiling] Why, thank you!
Sam the American Eagle: Freakos: One. Civilization: Zero.





"The Muppet Show: Elton John (#2.14)" (1977)

Sam the American Eagle: Kermit, about this Elton John.
Kermit: Yeah?
Sam the American Eagle: I have seen some pretty WEIRD guests on this show, but this Elton John borders on the revolutionary!
Kermit: Sam, Elton John is a very important musician.
Sam the American Eagle: Then why does he dress like a stolen car?

Zuccotti Park Closed After Judge Orders City to Allow Occupy Wall Street In

I think Bloomberg has actually made the intelligent decision here in not allowing protesters back in prior to the hearing (about an hour away). If the order is reversed you have to go through the whole ordeal of clearing the park again, which is clearly a major public safety issue. It's much easier to keep people out and then let them in then it is to re-clear the park.

I agree. Will be interesting to see the outcome.

I'd be surprised if they're ordered to reopen it. It looks like it's a 'show cause' type of hearing, and the city could run down a list of dozens of reasons why tents, tarps etc. should be permanently removed. We've already had assaults, there's obvious sanitation issues, the local community is being negatively impacted and most importantly there are clear ongoing safety hazards when you setup a tent city in a public square.

The funny thing is I'd likely become much more supportive of the whole movement if they were showing up to protest every day while respecting the fact that people live and work in the community. As is they've shown themselves to be self important twits who think their cause elevates them above the interests of everyone else. The judge could be doing them a favor by preventing them from turning the area into a shanty town over the winter.
