It makes sense.  They were trying to co-opt the occupy group the same way the republican party was trying to co-opt the tea party.  The difference, of course, being the occupiers are losers, rapists, and all around degenerates that were better left in the hole they crawled out of and the democrats were more than giddy to ignore it all to try to use them to advance their own political agenda given that they resoundingly had their collectivist-asses handed to them in the previous election.  Unfortunately for them, fortunately for America, the mystery is gone and all the sane people are left to ask: why would you want to be on the side of those defecating in the streets, having sex there, by choice or not, and raising hell wherever they go?

The status quo hates the 99%.  This is a good thing.

Note that the right and the corporate media always have to level ad hominem attacks against the 99% movement.  If they were to address the ideas central to Occupy, they know that they would lose that debate.

…unless you think that being a prostitute for corporate control of government and massive corruption is a winning strategy.

You’re right!  Now, which camp does NYC General Assembly of the Occupiers fall into 
http://www.nycga.net/2012/01/07/nyc-general-assembly-minutes-172012/ ?

From the side that gave us “It wasn’t ‘rape-rape’” now comes “Corporate media is feeding you LIES!” Were they perpetrated by the Jews, perchance? It seems they are equally vilified http://www.theblaze.com/stories/more-anti-semitism-at-occupy-wall-st-protester-calls-jewish-man-dumb-motherfuer/

The DNC owns #Occupy, they embraced it early on, Pelosi, Reid, and Obama all made positive comments about the OWS movement.  Now they OWN it. I can’t wait for #Occupy and the G8/NATO Summit to collide in Chicago on May 19-20,2012. Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago, a dead fish Wimp, is no Mayor Daley. He will not issue shoot-to-kill orders to the security forces like Daley did.
The city will experience a Seattle WTO/’68 DNC Convention Riot. The left is going to tear up that town/

As I said, only ad hominem attacks, no ability to debate actual issues.

Pelosi: Actually, we don’t have much of a connection to Occupy Wall Street

FYI to the clueless: corrupt, crazy pelsoi’s statement is actually a command to her d-cRAT socialist stooges in the lamestream media for them to stop singing the praises of the anti-American #occupy degenerates, since the American public has figured out what a despicable, disgusting, worthless bunch of scumbags they are. So, you’ll never see another mention of #occupy in the socialist media. (Somebody has to tell these mindless propagandists what to say, right?) 

Seriously?

Wasn’t it the “left and corporate media” who championed “TeaBaggers” and still uses that term today?

Doesn’t that show that either both sides do it? Have you complained against that term?

And what’s the issues at hand?  They want a living wage?  That’s stupid.  What point is there in trying to succeed if your success are going to be pawned off to that homeless guy who crapped on a car?  And that’s entirely regardless of their employment.
Universal healthcare?  That’s moronic.  Just ask France how that’s working out for them.  And while you’re at it, ask England how many in their hospitals have been left to die.
Free college education?  Yeah, that’s stupid too.
A trillion more on infrastructure?  I assume that’s because the first trillion was so well spent?
Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all?  Yeah, that’s equally moronic.
One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.  Seriously?

Want to debate the issues?  Be my guest.

I don’t have a problem with the term “Teabaggers,” since it was self-applied.  Personally I prefer the term “Tea Klan” because I think it is more accurate.

The corporate media embraced the Tea “Party.”  Fox promoted their events (back when anyone was going to them) and CNN hosted a Tea “Party” debate.  The Tea “Party” is a corporate media creation.

The Tea “Party” is just a part of the republiklan party, while OWS recognizes that systemic corruption has infected both parties and the entire political/media machine.  This is why the media spends all of its time reviling the 99%.

The Tea “party” is a completely dishonest group of people.  These are folks who screamed about debt…but only after the president they voted for ran it up.  These are folks who shrieked about bailouts, but haven’t done a single thing to prevent them from happening again.  They have no credibility.

“They want a living wage?  That’s stupid.”

Working people shouldn’t earn a living wage?  That’s pretty “stupid.”

“Universal healthcare?  That’s moronic.  Just ask France how that’s working out for them.”

Yeah, I think we should ask the French people or the people of the UK whether they want to scrap their system in favor of ours.  Good luck with that one!

The issues you don’t care to debate are the core issues. 

The repeal of Glass-Steagall led to the economic crisis.  Would you care to debate that one?

Or would you care to debate whether or not Wall Street has undue control of our political process?

Corporations are not people and money is not speech.  Care to debate that?

No, you’d rather talk about poop.  Amirite?

Nanc Pelosi on OWS ” God bless them”

Wait a sec, blizzard: this isn’t Pelosi “distancing herself from Occupy” – this is Neil Cavuto, Fuppet News serial confabulator making up a meme. 

This is typical of Ms. Alvarez. I can’t tell if she’s as gullible as she appears, or if she’s just a willing tool. 

Oh yeah – just like they tore up Denver. 

We’re you even WATCHING in 2008? Minneapolis was run with all the charm of East Berlin before the wall came down.  

But I can understand why you have these wet dreams: your party is full of paranoid thugs & they can’t help engaging in projection.

For the sake of human eyes

Nancy Pelosi should distance herself from television cameras!!!!

No, they shouldn’t earn a living wage.  Those low paying jobs tend to be for high schoolers or people going to college just getting by.  Want something better?  Work for a better job.

I’ll ask the foreigners right after I ask them what the sense of entitlement has done for their nation.  We can already see the hell it’s sending us to.

No, repealing Glass-Steagall didn’t cause the problems.  Want to fix it?  Get rid of the FDIC.  If the banks don’t have a guarantee that the government will always cover their losses, they’ll be better handlers of the money, make wiser investments and on and on.  How about Frank-Dodd?  I really like how my friend who works at my bank told me “Watch the chargers.  They are coming and there are a lot.”  I really liked that.

Wall street may have too much influence, but what I’m more interested are the government unions.  So, a democrat and a republican run for office.  Republican says “Our schools are terrible!  Break the unions, go voucher, and help our children out of this miserable failure of a system!”  Democrat comes up and says “Teachers aren’t being paid enough!  Vote for me and I’ll give them more money!”  Who are the workers going to give to?  Or let’s put this in other terms, the republican says “We’re going bankrupt, we need to get our spending under control.  Vote for me and I’ll do what’s necessary to help us.”  The democrat says “Nonsense!  Spend more and tax more!”  The Republican won and now his ideas are being put forth, saving jobs, money, and even a school district from going bankrupt.  Of course, ask democrat, and Scott Walker is still the devil incarnate.  And, honestly?  Until democrats in mass get on the school voucher program, they have no room to talk about undue influence.

Money is money, corporations are corporations, and you are still ignoring unions who are the worst of all and spend the most.  How are those union run automobile companies doing again?  Yeah…

What were your questions again?

Yes Alex, most people see that the democrats aligned themselves with OWS, not just Neil, but almost anyone who watched/listened/learned.

So those quotes aren’t true?

“Note that the right and the corporate media always have to level ad hominem attacks against the 99% movement.”

Says the person who also says, “The Tea “Party” is just a part of the republiklan party… The Tea “party” is a completely dishonest group of people.”

Got it. Ad hominem against Occupy = bad. Ad hominem against Republicans, Tea Party, FOX News, anyone not on the left = good.

Loud and clear.

“No, they shouldn’t earn a living wage.  Those low paying jobs tend to be
for high schoolers or people going to college just getting by.”

This is pure stupidity.  Anyone who has spent any time in the real world knows that many people work two minimum wage jobs to try and make ends meet.

“Want something better?  Work for a better job.”

This ignores the fact that corporations have outsourced millions of the jobs that people could be working toward.

“I’ll ask the foreigners right after I ask them what the sense of entitlement has done for their nation.”

Yeah, ask the Germans, with the strongest economy in Europe about that.  Abysmal ignorance.

“No, repealing Glass-Steagall didn’t cause the problems.”

There’s a compelling argument!  “No!”  If Glass Steagall had been in place, banks would not have been able to gamble on the stock market with people’s mortgages.

“Get rid of the FDIC.”

Oh great, then we could have a genuine 1929 situation on our hands. 

“Money is money, corporations are corporations, and you are still ignoring unions who are the worst of all and spend the most.”

This is a blatant falsehood.  Anyway, I don’t think unions should be bribing politicians any more than corporations should.

I made several arguments there.  If I make an argument based on facts, then I can’t be accused of using an ad hominem.

The contention that the Tea “Party” is just an arm of the Republiklan party is easily supported.  How many Tea Party congressmen/senators are not members of the republiklan party?  How much money did the Tea “Party” get from prominent republiklan billionaires? 

Who are the Tea Klan’s leaders?  DickArmy, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, all republiklans.

Tea “Party” members are dishonest.  How many admit they voted for Bush twice?  How many tea party rallies took place during the Bush administration? What have Tea “Party” reps done to prevent future bailouts?

Rex or whatever you’re calling yourself today, you’re just pissed because she calls them as she sees them unlike your mediaite hero who will go unnamed. Alex is the best of Mediaite. Deal.

You almost argued yourself into ‘our’ camp. Replace Glass-Steagall in full. End the Fed. NO to Public Employee Unions.
Gov. Walker IS right. Enforce Sarbannes-Oaxley. End Minimum Wage. Right-to-Work States have the most job creations. Have I forgotten anything?

Duke, you aren’t going to get any help from the republiklan party trying to replace Glass-Steagall.  I have noticed a few Tea “Partiers” supporting this idea recently, after OWS started talking about it.  I also agree with enforcement of Sarbanes-Oxley. I think it’s good that there are areas of agreement.

Ending the Fed wouldn’t do anything but to further privatize our money supply.  What we need to do is NATIONALIZE the fed, so that Americans, not multinational Banks, control their own currency.

Walker is a douche.  Union workers consistently earn more than non-union workers.

Why is it that your ideas to “help” working people are always centered around lowering their wages?

What does this say about our generation where we have a “leader”, three steps from the Presidency, saying about ObamaCare, ” We have to pass it to find out what’s in it”?

That’s CHILLING, that our “leader” would abdicate responsibility in such a blatant and dangerous manner over something so overbearing on our society.

I think it’s about time for the honest, intelligent people to take control in evolving our race -  not Democrats. (lol)

…and I agree!
I didn’t think of it in that light, but very good point.

There are a few talking points that I have picked up on from the #Occupy crowd. Putting Glass-Steagall back into place, and prosecuting corrupt banksters/along with their political cronys, acceptable actions I and the Tea Party can agree with. Ending the FED is a Paulian Idea, after the audit of the fed; there are rumours of $9 trillion dollars ‘unaccountedd’ for. That much money would cross 2-3 presidental terms. The Culture in Washington is not going to change if the American people remain Sheeple, and I am keeping an eye on the corruption on the beltway, as the corruption at 30 Rock.

Good points. 

I made several arguments there.  If I make an argument based on facts, then I can’t be accused of using an ad hominem.

Nonsense. You can use ad hominem, and facts. Why would you think you can’t? You can both be insulting, and have some sort of evidence on your side. That should be obvious.

Now, I’m going to ignore all the “Klan” stuff because the way you use violent racist groups to enhance your own political opinion is both offensive and insulting to all those who have actually had to deal with those groups… and move on to your last paragraph.

So because the Tea Party didn’t form until the Obama Administration, they must be a right-wing group? Does that mean that the Occupiers are also right-wing, because they weren’t around for Bush? Is that the logic you’re using? Nonsenese.

Occupy and Tea Party are very similar. They object to bloated government spending, but disagree on where that spending is located. The Tea Party tend to agree more with the right, while Occupy with the left… but neither are really representative of the mainstream party either. YOU may agree with one side over the other, and therefore see your ad hominem attacks as more valid, but really… you’re exactly the same as you complain about.

Glass-Stegall had nill to do with the housing bubble. Everything they did, they could already do with the regulation in place. The bubble was caused by a mosaic of problems stemming from subsidies, inflation, to centralized banking keeping interest rates artificially low.

Dear Juststupid2012,

Ad hominem is insult used in place of argument.  Let me give you an example:

“The Occupy movement is wrong because they are smelly hippies.”

or

“The Tea ‘Party’” is wrong because they are incontinent and ignorant.”

But if there is a fact-based argument made, then the charge of an ad hominem attack is baseless.

I adore Cavuto.  That said, Pelosi is the most vile woman on the planet. She doesn’t know how to tell the truth. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a partisan hack lie.  So glad she lost her air force jet.  She should only retire and take Wasserman shultz with her.  Wonder if Debbie is related to ed?

Lmao, LewRockwell!  Note that the author doesn’t actually talk about JPMorgan, Citigroup or BofA, which are exactly the kinds of institutions to which Glass-Steagall would have applied.  These three alone hold HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS in toxic derivatives.

The repeal of Glass-Steagall had everything to do with the housing crisis.  With Glass-Stegall in place it would have been ILLEGAL to mix commercial banking with investment banking. 

The other part of the problem was the Commodities Futures Modernization Act, which allowed for derivatives trading.

Dimentia

Say whatever you want about OWS protesters, they actually have the will to go out and protest.. and guess what I don’t give a **** if some shit on the street. I really don’t care, happens at concerts all the time, especially when people are outside with limited access to toilets. They were out there for months and they are still out there, so yeah, I don’t care if they couldn’t find toilets, shit happens :)

The reason these people were attacked is cause they actually care enough to do something.. and of course, losers like you attack them, as you and your fatass sit on a couch somewhere watching Fox News having your opinion fed to you.

OWS is so out of your reality you can’t comprehend it.. and that’s fine, you’re a sheep a pathetic unaware sheep.

hahah dumb bitch one minute she is all for supporting the 99% now she is having second thoughts dumb progressives

They wanted it, they got it.

Democrats Seek to Own ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Movement

“I support the message to the establishment,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Change has to happen. We cannot continue in a way that does not — that is not relevant to their lives. People are angry.”

Pelosi Supports Occupy Wall Street Movement

House Democrats Ask For Support of Occupy Wall Street

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an email this afternoon asking supporters to sign a petition backing the Occupy Wall Street protests in Lower Manhattan.

http://www.politickerny.com/2011/10/10/house-democrats-ask-for-support-of-occupy-wall-street/

http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-spokane/democratic-lawmakers-express-support-for-occupy-wall-street-lawlessness

Leading Democratic figures, including party fund-raisers and a top ally of President Obama, are embracing the spread of the anti-Wall Street protests in a clear sign that members of the Democratic establishment see the movement as a way to align disenchanted Americans with their party.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/us/politics/wall-street-protests-gain-support-from-leading-democrats.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

That can’t be hypocritical Nan Pelosi standing in front of a ‘One-Percent’ Bank of America sign, can it? The ‘eeeee-vil Rich’ BofA? The ‘millionaires & billionaires’ of BofA?

Botox is the only thing keeping Nan Pelosi upright, we can all correctly conclude.

Not only do the Dems own OWS, so does the Obama ran media!!

Once again, they step in it!!

I knew this would come back to bite Pelosi and my fellow Democrats in the @$$. She so needed to go after the 2010 elections in favor of Steny Hoyer.

“Occupy Protesters Throw Smoke Bombs at White House!!”….Buk…buk…buk,,,!!!
S’matter…Nancy?
Chickens coming home to roost?….Buk….buk….buk…!!!
LOL!!

Is Pelosi still alive? I thought she was Mummified years ago and Entombed in NAPA Valley somewhere.

I’m not impressed with Socialist, Communists, Nazi’s, Marxists, Liberal Progressives even when they are protesting in the streets.  

Actually, the article was written by Tom Woods, a Columbia historian. You can poo-poo my source, but he is well a respected academic. Canada didn’t have anything that resembled Glass-Steagall, yet, no housing crisis. As to the fallout from Glass-Steagall, it is entirely possible that those toxic liabilities loaded onto the FDIC program will completely destroy and ruin our economy. However, the problem lies in the socialized losses aspect of the FDIC itself, not a regulatory loophole. Large corporations love regulations because they have the financial means to overcome them, while the smaller businesses are forced out of the market, eliminating competition. All in all, you and I lose because inflation forces us to speculate in the markets through our 401k’s and IRA’s, instead of taking the ultra conservative approach and shoving money in our mattress. Money that would be worthless in 10 years. More money in the market means more profit for all these people you dislike.

It is way to late for Obambi and Nancy, they are neck deep in the OWS feces!
