I think the national media are the only people taking the OWS “movement” seriously.  It takes about 5 seconds of listening to one of these people to realize they are a bunch of incoherent idiots.

Ha…If I want to hear a bunch of anti-American lame commentary I’ll listen to an Obama speach.

Until they come up with a mission statement, they are just a bunch of nuts that like beating on drums. My two year old grandson likes beating on pots and pans.

The media doesn’t know either. They think it’s about income inequality, when clearly it’s in favor of the dissolution of capitalism. If they knew, and in turn let the rest of the public know, dissaproval would be a lot higher.

Same reason this site didn’t post Samantha Bee’s/The Daily Show’s brutal piece on the have’s and havenot’s of OWS – they just don’t get it.

Heres a pretty well known fact that for some reason gets ignored

the media covers this because they have to, but that doesn’t mean that everyone pays attention or cares because it doesn’t impact their life and there has been no concrete goals set by the occupy movement

Or to put it more bluntly when it comes to protest movements, political pundits, etc the avg American doesn’t get involved because

1. they have [stuff] to do
2. it doesn’t affect them a good portion of the time
3. most Americans who are old enough to care and have an opinion are jaded by the political process at this point

What more do we need to know about a bunch of out of work losers? They don’t even know what they want.

Maybe you should spend 5 minutes.

The Occupy movement has the elites running scared so they are running a 24/7 loop demonizing the protestors in the MSM. Pretty good numbers considering the constant attacks including on this website.

Anything that has the elites scared is okay with me. Ron Paul approves.

If you believe the hype, they seem to have some worthy complaints. Then you notice that their leader is a Canadian who openly (in the WaPo no less) promotes a revolution inside the US. You notice that 99% of the people at their events are clueless. You notice the Ron Paul-style hyping and cult-like behavior. You notice that they’re chummy with anti-speech criminals. You notice their attempts to stifle speech.

We need a group to challenge the elites and to counterweight the TP co-idiots. OWS isn’t it.

P.S. If OWS were smart, they’d do what I suggest:

24ahead.com/s/occupy-wall-street

Instead – just like TP – the more people see of them, the less they’ll like.

Pretty sure 59% of people who don’t now enough about OWS post on Mediate

Banks, Wall Street, Oil companys, corruption in politics, Lobbyist, Financial Inequality, Police State, and jackasses posting without listening to the needs of the masses.

There is no leader.

what was there like 1000 OWS in the street last week and you would think the way that the MSM covered it there were 100,000. The people who are left protesting are the typical far left wing, anarchists and hippies who hate the way this country works.

Well thats still about 40% less then the actual OWSers

What about the dog?

 Spin it Mediaite- but you recently posted this

“but according to a new survey by Public Policy Polling, the appeal of the protests seems to be wearing thin with Americans. Their favorability has only decreased slightly in the poll, from 35% in October to 33% now.”

“

Here lies the problem with my fellow Americans. I would think that those 60% would take time to look them up, rather then say “i don’t know”. They may not even agree with OWS views, but at least they know about the movement to make an informed decision. We the people need to start finding out more about the issues then just voting along party lines.

I would venture to say 59% of OWS protesters don’t know enough about OWS to have an opinion.

you forgot to mention their mothers, them being gay, or them being pedophiles.  Sorry, was expecting your normal debating technique.  I think you learned that from Plato.

99% of the posters on this site (or any other for that matter) don’t know enough, yet have opinions and feel the need to post.  Its quite sad actually.  So much desperate need of attention. 

Hey Dustin…There is only ONE incoherent idiot around these parts. Guess who it is?

I know all I need to know, they pushed a Cop of his bike here in Denver and have tried to start riots!!

They have hurt businesses and forced some of them to get rid of employees!!

They make a mess and make no attempt to clean it up!!

And most important, the fat hypocritical idiot Micheal Moore endorses them!!

Let’s get this straight.  This is the most asinine story ever.  The OWS had no idea why they were protesting but they were out there.  Finally, someone decided to “help” these fools and focus them.  The statements started coming out on what they were protesting – still not a cohesive voice, but at least some semblance of sanity.  The voices were still pretty much all over the map but suddenly the MSM decided to give them a more credibility by again “helping” them voice their disjointed mission.  

We don’t know exactly what they are protesting?  Yes, we do.  This is another attempt by the left to make these fools worldly and we are just too freaking stupid to know what they want.   They want socialism.  They want no responsibility.  They want student loans to be forgiven.  They want to terrorize cities.  They want to disrupt life.  In other words they are our worst behaved children throwing an extended temper tantrum.  

I get the feeling that a lot of people support OWS, but the general ruckus that they cause is discouraging a lot of people (like me) from being behind them 100%. Hence, the “I don’t know enough” bit.

It’s a shame, but this sort of activity was inevitable, I think. You have a protest with this many people for as long as it’s been going… it’s bound to attract unsavory people. Plus, what does a protest accomplish if it doesn’t attract attention.

99% of OWS doesn’t know anything about OWS>

That isn’t a mission statement, that’s a list of things you’re against. You say you want a revolution, we’d all love to see the plan. That’s not it.

Yeah, but I’m willing to bet your grandson has a better grasp of economics.

An Alternative to
Capitalism (if the people knew about it, they would demand
it)
 
Several decades ago, Margaret Thatcher claimed: “There is no
alternative”. She was referring to capitalism. Today, this negative attitude
still persists.
 
I would like to offer an alternative to capitalism for
the American people to consider. Please click on the following link. It will
take you to an essay titled: “Home of the Brave?” which was published by the
Athenaeum Library of Philosophy:

What do we want?!?

WE’RE NOT REALLY SURE!

When do we want it?!?

NOW!!!!

Yeah, but their numbers really started to swell once the schizophrenics started showing up.

On any given Sunday, more people are walking into a Steelers game; why not wall to wall coverage of what they think? At least they know what they’re doing and don’t buy Che Guevarra shirts made in China from illegal aliens.

Oh wow, this “movement” is supposedly sweeping the globe, but not America where it actually matters. Great job, chumps! But that’s what you get from taking marching orders from foreign communists.

Now go take a shower and occupy a desk.

No, a lot of people don’t support OWS as the poll indicates. The astroturfed “movement” from foreign communists has resulted in apathy and disgust from the America people. You’ve lost in the marketplace of ideas, get over it.

You

Theirs nothing to know about the freeloader nation. We’ve seen it all before with the 1960′s cowards.

I’ve got a few ideas… the99guide.com

Explain what they are protesting and that 59% will be against them.
Hell….They don’t even know what they are protesting.

To an extent that’s true: they’re a leaderless, brainless group.

However, their real “leader” of a sort – the person who kicked it all off – is the Canadian head of Adbusters. That’s who my comment referred to.
