As has happened all over the world, perhaps a “Families occupy Wall Street” in its own environment would be appropriate. I am glad that families want to be involved. Your points about the risks are valid. Although EVERYTHING is risky — there is right now a missing baby that was supposedly merely sleeping at home — if something happened to a child at an Occupy Wall Street event, that would be used as an insurmountable trigger for those whom OWS fights against. This would have to be, as I see it, something that families would have to create on their own, since it appears the General Assembly might be loathe to create restrictions such as minimum age limits for the protest sites.

GO FOR IT! Adding the voices of young families would help make it clear that the 99% is fed up with being controlled by the 1%. The logistics of not being able to attend protests is, of course, presumed by the enemies of OWS to be acquiescence of the status quo by young families.

I think we should take all the money from the 1% and spread it all around just so we can all see that it wont make a dent in all our issues and we can move on.

The picture above tells you all you need to know about the inbreds that comprise OWS: A teen-age girl with Coke-bottle glasses wearing a shirt saying ‘Parent Security.’

Gee, I wonder if the White Shirts will pepper spray the kids too?

The wonderful Fox Nation tactic of putting a question mark at the end of the sentence fools no one.  You’re still Fox Nation.  Here’s what one of the parents had to say about the evening.

I cannot speak for other parents in attendance but I didn’t feel I had to ‘brave’ any chaos. The weather turned out to be just right for snuggling down for the night. Kirby, Mark and all the wonderful parents who helped organize the event provided a lot of activities for the children to participate in. They had something for everyone, all age groups. Come nightfall they all went down and slept very well. Come 1-2am a lot of parents were asleep as well. The children managed to sleep without a problem in the middle of a very busy trafficked area, bright lights and even with the GA going on next to them. I don’t think that would have happened if there was really any ‘chaos’ around and about for the parents and children to be worried about. My 3 month old slept the whole night, for the first time in 3 months. I don’t think that would’ve happened if he felt I was anxious about being there.  Hecklers and people singing in the middle of the night? Those typical NYC going ons-not representative of the family sleepover at all.The worst thing that took place happened the next morning, if not for that one individual, the whole event would have been almost perfect. The only regret I heard expressed came from some parents who were hoping to get together the next morning over some coffee/tea and talk about our goals but were unable to due to the guy on the sculpture and the NYPD’s seemingly over the top demonstration to get the guy down. As for the children? Even in the morning with everything that happened none of them seems worried or anxious at all. They were in jovial spirits talking up a storm about the day before, what was going on around and about them. I would say the night was a success and a wonderful testament to what people can do if they take the time to get together. Parents for Occupy Wall Street is taking the night as a positive sign of things to come.

isn’t the definition of ‘extreme’ when you take your children to a filthy park filled with drugs and strangers in weather in the 40′s.   Adults get to choose to be unsafe, but kids do not. 

40 degrees is very cold.  So in solidarity, tonight turn your thermostat to 40 degrees in your house and see how long you last.  Also, leave the doors unlocked.  Unless you have kids, then don’t, of course.  

parents can  choose to be dumb.  Once you bring your kids in, then the cops and mayor need to step in to protect the children.

Duh.

Brainwash them early

it shows the “for real” protest is about over.  I wouldn’t bring my child to that filthy environment.  Then again I wont even send mine to public school either. 

A teen-age girl with Coke-bottle glasses

Ah, to see the world through the rosy colored glasses of the (R)egressives

Two Occupy Boston members have been arrested on drug charges, Boston police said yesterday.Bostonians Isaac Bell, 34, and Charlene Dumont, 31, were both charged with distribution of a class A drug (heroin) and possession with intent to distribute a class A drug within 1,000 feet of a school zone, police say.The 6-year-old child who was living with them in a tent is now staying with family members, police said.

Yeap, and everyobody who is irresposnible and stupid with their finances will soon be back to where they were with nothing to show for it, before they were flushed full wall street funds

See Kids , a teachable moment :

If Mom And Dad are trying to sell 5 bindles of heroin to other righteous protestors within 1000 of a school zone , how long will the state have to raise and support the children ?

Will this lovely human being , this “mother” bring her kids ?

A married mother of four from Florida ditched her family to become part of the raggedy mob in Zuccotti Park — keeping the park clean by day and keeping herself warm at night with the help of a young waiter from Brooklyn.“I’m not planning on going home,” an unapologetic Stacey Hessler, 38, told The Post yesterday.“I have no idea what the future holds, but I’m here indefinitelyRead more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/she_plans_to_stray_awhile_opuo0dDOjE39dfRDdUZ1sM#ixzz1bi9OEbyh

Good call.  With that all said, your kid is probably going to grow up grounded, responsible, educated, and will probably be employing and acting as a manager for all the liberal kids who grew up thinking everyone is special, everybody is a winner, and everyone gets a gold star.

Wow…these are the types that I want to associate with..

It’s funny how this stuff didn’t go down in Tea PArty Ralleys….Im sure its pure coincidence.

Usually women (free spirits) abandon their family and move to Florida not away from the place.

Child abuse.

Absolutely disgraceful.  Though you can’t help but wonder if they aren’t better off if this is the kind of mother she is. 

Um, the guy who tossed the roll of duct tape was responding to someone shouting “hey, does anyone have any duct tape.”  What were they using the duct tape for?  To tape American flags up around the area.  

Also, Kirby isn’t a teenager; she just looks young.  And, um…she wears glasses.  So the hell what?

And their hands will be right back out while their complaints of injustice echo through the land.

Life is hard. Wear a helmet. And learn to look out for yourself, because no one else will do it better.

I would say the night was a success and a wonderful testament to what people can do if they take the time to get together.

How is success defined? What was the testament to what people can do? Spending the night together without catastrophe?

This is the woman who’s married to the banker that is now taking care of her kids while she’s off saving the world being voluntarily homeless, right?

lol…..children at the tea party run the risk of getting teabagged.

Seeing that no old perv like you got to the children is proof that the OWS can be a very safe environment

Thank you for that asinine non-sequitur. It’s good to get those things out of the way early.

“filled with drugs”?

Okay, for once, you are right!

I was just joking with my last comment. Sorry 

However, it doesnt change the fact that the OWS movement is getting stronger and if families with children can get involved, its going to eclipse the tea party by miles and have some serious effect on the next elections!

I’m actually 30 years old, legally blind hence the large glasses, with a daughter, and have owned my own business for 5 years and married for 4,  thanks for thinking I look like a teenager though…..

I meant “almost” 30 not there yet…….sometimes my fingers go faster than my mind when typing. 

Using children to push your agenda, a leftist past time :-)

The park is CLEAN, go see for your own eyes, hell look that the photos from the event. I have NEVER seen one drug the entire time I’ve been down there, again go down yourself before you judge. The weather didn’t drop down till late after everyone had went to sleep in which everyone was in appropriate cold weather sleeping bags and clothes. Of all people parents plan ahead for their children, I’ve never heard of camping as being called “extreme” 

Did you even watch the video?! There was security around the children all night and again LOOK at the video everyone had camping gear which was preplanned. DO you sleep with overnight camping gear in your bed at home????? No, because you don’t turn you thermostat down.  Everyone is leaving out the fact about how well planned and safe the kids are making judgements without even looking at facts. 

Parents have always brought their children to these kinds of protests, marches, etc.  There’s nothing unusual about it, nothing dangerous or unseemly.

The reason the author is trying to make a big deal of it is because the author knows Republicans are stupid people who can be easily manipulated (as evidenced by the responses).

The girl in the video can not be 29. If I am wrong, then she should stop protesting and start modelling for anti-ageing creams…..she will make millions and then sell her own creams then and make billions and then be the one percent!

Jokes apart, if that’s really you, keep up the good work because if families with children can join the OWS movement safely, it would create a positive image for the protest

It’s a falicy that if you repeat something ad nauseum it becomes true. The Tea Party is closer to the 99% than you may wish to admit: http://www.gallup.com/poll/127181/Tea-Partiers-Fairly-Mainstream-Demographics.aspx . Just because some spoiled brats take basket weaving, or 4th century interior design, as a major and then are shocked that there are no jobs in their chosen field to help pay off their student loans are getting a very valuable education. Hard knocks, baby, hard-mother-lovin’-knocks, time to go to plan B and become productive.

Friedfish,

The point is that the tea party is being or going to be eclipsed by the OWS movement. 

actually, basket weaving is a very useful endeavor

No, nothing dangerous or unseemly at all.  Just incidents of rape, public sex, urination, and drug dealing.   Please tell me you haven’t procreated.

More proof of how easily Republicans can be manipulated. Thank you.

More proof you liberals are willing to look the other way at what’s happening down there. 

Has to be one of the most disgusting posts on Mediaite.  Can’t believe it has not been removed.

Everybody look at what Michelle just said.

She said the liberals are the ones refusing to see what’s going on down on Wall Street.

You can’t write this stuff. You just can’t.

Don’t feed the trolls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEe7JqBgvg

drug dealing, public urination, public sex, stealing, lack of sanitation,   what a nice safe environment.

Eclipse the TEA party?   Not a chance.

Sorry, I keep telling myself that.  It really is like banging your head against a wall. 

It wasn’t Republicans that voted for Barry.  Those that did were the naive, easily manipulated and if asked today why they would display such complete ignorance you would get the same blank empty stare as those Drones give at their camp out.

Yeah, we were tricked. But why are you pretending to have a problem with the drones? Can’t you tell the truth for even a moment?

Maybe the children will be offered toke while mingling with the Drones.  How nice.

Mommy, what is that smell?

I’m on board with OWS and I represent the Tea Party section of the OWS.  There needs to be more accountability of what is going on with Wall Street.  

The truth is the Drones are Useful Idiots that have little or no skin in the game and have been incited by the Street Agitator in the White House and his organized minions.   They are incoherent brats that are getting way too much attention.  Attention that apparently they desperate seek as they grapple for  a cause to latch onto.  Useful idiots that are easy pickins’ for the Communist Party.

I see. Well said.

Shootings are up 154% in NYC since the OWS loons have been diverting the Police from doing their jobs. Joe Biden must be really upset about this:

Have you heard the latest news??? The US taxpayer is going to bail out Bank Of America to the tune of $75 Trillion and $79 Trillion for JPMorgan Chase. Yes, that’s $154 Trillion that the American taxpayer is on the bill, to help out the wealthy.
http://dailybail.com/home/holy-bailout-federal-reserve-now-backstopping-75-trillion-of.html?printerFriendly=true

Why are we trying to cut $1 or $ 2 trillion from the Budget? Why are we trying to deny the passage of the Obama’s administrations Jobs Bill. it’s only $447 Billion…So the GOP/TP is against $447 for American Jobs but is for $154 TRILLION for 2 American banks. Sorry, I’ll never see why they are against the American people who want and need jobs. Those jobs that would be created would spend their money on things that “move” the economy “Food, Shelter & Clothing”. Note the Poor & Middle Class are the ones that spend between 80-100% of their wages to move the economy. The wealthy….I don’t know if they even come close to spending almost all of their money annually.

What ever happened to the concept of personal responsibility?

Spending the day together enjoying one another’s company, learning what others want and what their concerns are. Meeting with other parents (not all like-minded by the way, there were parents from all walks of life. Not all Liberals either.) and their families, being open about what we want the future for our children to be like. Many of us, like most of you, have only seen what the media has provided us with in regards to Occupy Wall Street. Some of us decided it was best to see first hand what the truth really is. This wasn’t a random whim that was just put together over night. A lot of planning and organizing went into making sure the event was a good place for the children.

There was no fornication, no drugs, no stealing, no violence. You can see clearly in the video provided by CNN that the park was clean. 

Yes as with any public event there were issues, all dealt with and of no danger to anyone there. 1 heckler, 1 guy singing obnoxiously at 2 am and 1 guy who decided to climb up a sculpture and was not of any danger to anyone-except himself. <===All things NYC residents deal with on a daily basis and yet we all choose to raise our children here.

I understand this event may be outside of the comfort zone of many parents but if you weren't there? You really can't say how it was.

You may need to define that for our liberal guests. 

The “White Shirts” are “OFF DUTY” Police officers that are being paid approximately $270 an hour by businesses such as those on Wall Street. They don’t take their “orders” from the NYPD but from those that hired them. You’ll see that they are the ones that pepper spray protesters.

It wasn’t very cold. I’ve been camping in the dead of Winter, now that is cold. The weather was fine. The kids were more than well bundled up.

Yes and the fact that the 99% will most likely waste it and it will be back in the hands of the 1% in less than a year.

Have you spent any length of time down there? At first I was like everyone else thinking ‘What the heck are these people doing? Desecrating the land there like this.” I went to high school down there. I was greatly upset by the reports on the news. Then I shut off my television, backed away from the internet and took a train ride down there.

I spent hours over the span of a few days during the day and in the evening and saw not a single indication of anything reported on the news. I spoke to the officers and they said that overall its pretty easy most nights. It gets a bit crazy when marches pick up but outside of that there aren’t many problems.

Were there people down there I was wary of? Of course. This is NYC! I see people I’m wary of walking down Park Avenue. But did I feel I was in danger? That my children would be? No. No more than walking through Central Park.

Liberals prove how easily they can be manipulated every day. For example, Glenn Beck has been saying for the past two years that this movement was coming, and who would be involved in this movement and what their messages would be. Now, either OWS was created and is controlled by Glenn Beck, OR he’s been right all along and the OWS are proving just how right he has been. Either way, the OWS protesters are doing exactly what he predicted they would do. Weird huh?

Do you sleep with security officers stationed outside your children’s bedroom doors at home? Or live in a place where such practices are necessary?

Every day Glenn Beck predicts that the world will be taken over by Maxist Socialist Communist Fascists. The reason you think he’s a prophet is because you are a crazy person. I’m not calling you names. I’m just letting you know you’re crazy.

I know, that’s just crazy talk when we have a free market capitalist like Obama in the White House.

/sarc

The reason you think that’s sarcasm is because you’re a stupid person. Obama has been the most pro-corporate, pro capitalist president in the history of the nation.

The reason you believe precisely the opposite of the truth is because you are a Republican and all Republicans are programmed to believe precisely the opposite of the truth.

Or it could be all the money that was sucked out of the economy that is causing police and firefighters to lose their job. 

Explain how that is helping the wealthy. Last I checked a lot of Americans have their funds stashed away in those institutions. 

What kind of cretin would expose their kid to that polluted freak show? Anyone who’d bring their kids down there should lose them.

Accusations Of Teen Runaway Sexual Activity At Occupy Dallas

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/10/24/accusations-of-teen-runaway-sexual-activity-at-occupy-dallas/

I have no problem with parents taking their kids into a situation they feel is relevant to their lives, history unfolding- whatever….”enter at your own risk” is pretty self evident in this situation. But a five year old – really?  I hope mommy also explained that to level the wealthy playing field that capitalism is very very bad, a free market society will create evil bad wealthy people. To simplify this to a 5 year seems redundant since half the adults don’t seem to know what they are protesting for other than hating the wealthy and greedy people.

Please take the time to see what real child abuse is. Taking your children to Wall Street is not abusive. I can see why someone may find it to be questionable behavior but it is not abuse. If taking my children to Zuccotti Park is something you feel should warrant my children being taken away (children who are well loved, cared for, never physically and emotionally harmed, pretty happy and healthy kids) then any trip to NYC should warrant a child being taken away. Isn’t NYC often referred to as ‘one big freak show’. Criticize away but the hyperbole? Of comparing what you see as questionable judgment to child abuse? Is absurd.

Finally, I can take my kid?  Awesome.

I’ve spent the past several years looking for places with reported rapes, assault, and thefts; then in the following week I take my toddler to those areas to see what it’s like.. it’s fun.

Who doesn’t get taking children into a high-risk area where people are being arrested… it’s just a good time.  Also, kids make a good face-sheidl when the police use the pepper spray because the crowd got violent again.  Most people don’t know that, but as a human shield even a toddler can protect your entire face.

Kids today are too sheltered; they don’t know the smell of patchouli, BO, open toilets and pepper spray blended into a fine mix… they don’t know when to run as the police unload mace, or water cannons, etc… they’ve never tried to stay with a crowd to avoid being trampled.  They’re soft.

Clearly we need more children here… and hey, it’ll give the creepy perv homeless more underage rape targets too; everyone wins.

What about the “mother” who left her children 3 weeks ago and hasn’t returned?  I’d call that neglect.

Right, because the assaults, the knife fight, several rapes, pepper spray from the police for trespassing; you know everything going on a these protests… and clearly it’s where to take toddlers and small children.

Oh, you didn’t know any of that, you’ve avoided finding out?  Well, you didn’t know, the liberals you expected to tell you the truth were looking the other way.

Weird, just what Michelle said.  I guess reading comprehension is only for the 1% too?

I don’t know about her situation personally. I am going to look up the articles. I don’t want to comment on something I don’t know a thing about. If she left her kids unsupervised for 3 weeks? Yeah that would be neglect.

You described nearly every park in NYC in your first few sentences. Don’t take your kids there.

Their father, A BANKER, is with them, but that’s hardly the point.

Yeah, I’m sure this is exactly what is happening.  A country with a GDP of 14-16 trillion is going to backstop 150 trillion in debt… somehow.

I think your link has the wrong denomination; unless you think BoA is investing 10 times the GDP of America in one sector.  The Government takes in around 3 trillion a year in taxes, and spends around 4.5 trillion; but you think claiming they’re spending 150 trillion is plausible?

All you’ve done is linked a source I’ve never seen, and made it one I now don’t trust.  You’re going to need a much more reliable source for a claim like that; and a quick google search doesn’t find one.

You’re describing what happens on the streets of New York every single day. You’re just too stupid to realize it.

Republicans have made you believe that the people who fight for America are criminals. They know they can make you believe precisely the opposite of the truth so they make you believe precisely the opposite of the truth.

I don’t see the point then. Would be it be okay if the father left? I don’t see why a mother isn’t allowed to pursue her beliefs. Is it something I would do? Probablyh not.  If she and her husband between the constraints of their own marriage agree that the arrangement is okay than why is that any of our business? I know of a mom who leaves her kids a few weeks every year to go across the US to support anti-abortion legislation. I may not agree with her politics but I don’t believe that makes her a bad mother. Or someone guilty of a criminal act like neglect.

I have been to 3 OWS
sites. They are now keeping the areas as clean as possible without normal
facilities to do so. I have no problem with children joining in these events provided
there is security. One thing I did notice at Zuccotti, Dewey Square, Pioneer
and Westlake Park is the energy levels are receding badly. Visiting each location
twice over a 5 week period it becomes very apparent. Kind of like not seeing
your kids while on military tour and how much they change in your absence. The
Wife says they haven’t changed because she sees them every day but the changes
are there nonetheless. Same dynamic here. Cold weather is now upon us especially
at Battery Park with showers today but will be in the low 40’s at night. OWS
needs to make other shelter arrangements which they’re working on I believe.

Bring kids to Occupy Wall Street events?  Bad call.  Here’s a news story about an alleged molestation of 14-year-old at an Occupy Wall Street event.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/10/24/accusations-of-teen-runaway-sexual-activity-at-occupy-dallas/

How can the same media pundits who constantly made up stuff about tea party “violence” ignore the growing list of ugly events at Occupy gatherings?

Sunny, if you see nothing wrong with leaving your children for weeks at a time, then please don’t have any. 

How is success defined?
Don’t get arrested dearie.

How is success defined?
Don’t get arrested dearie.

At least the kids were smarter than the ignorant parents that brought them. “…the kids to be heard…and seen…” because – what???

This is like a bad drug flashback from the ’60s.

Wow, it’s like a protest, man and the grateful dead don’t tour anymore, so where you supposed to take your kids, you know man…I mean like this HAPPENING, you know, and the guy up on the structure, well like him falling, wouldn’t, you know, ruin our sleepover or nothin man because the kids could like duck or get out of the way and stuff, man
 
You fraction of a percenters (OWS) are functionally BRAIN DEAD!
I guess only crapping on police cars meant it was ‘clean’.
 

I said something similar on another thread, but I gave it five years.

I used to do something like this a long time ago.  I took pictures (still have them) and raged against the machine.  

I grew up and noticed that we all contribute together and the issue was more widespread than I originally thought.

What is right for someone else is not necessarily right for me. Many men and women leave their families for short/long periods of time for varying reasons. Work or volunteer work and so forth. I know several mothers and fathers who work abroad and across the nation doing volunteer work and do not think for one second they are awful parents because they leave their families to do this.

I don’t know what this woman’s motivation is or what her family/marital situation is like. I don’t feel I am in a position (perhaps on a high horse of moral superiority? as I think that is what it takes to decide who is worthy of being a parent and who isn’t) to say she’s a bad mother because she feels participating in a political movement is important enough to be away from her children for a significant length of time.

But like with everything else on the internet it’s easy to debate what we don’t know personally.

All the OWSers are children.

BTW, libs- good news- State Farm has announced a 25% of “Basement” insurance! You better get yours now!

You are the King of that pit, child!

LOL, the media has you fools running scared. I love it.

I’m guessing the “catastrophe” aspects of this event will come along in about 9 months.. in the form of a bunch of liberal babies with arms growing out of their foreheads.

There Felix goes again cherry picking the news.  

You’re in a serious state of denial in regards to your own small speck of dust like presence on this planet.

Way to plagiarize this Mother Jones story with no link. Obvious, since you repeat the same mistakes their reporter made in his notes about Kashner. At least he was there.

When people bring very young kids, like babies or toddlers who are clueless about the protests, they are doing it so they can show the movement is represented by a wider spectrum of society than the worried Koch-Ailes folks would like you to believe. (They also save on babysitting.) This isn’t unique to OWS. You’d think by now people would have figured out these weak and typical attempts to attack everything left of Reagan as drug-addled hippy talk, but I guess the classics are classics for a reason. The OWS people around the world are no more monolithic than the tea partiers, and no more worthy of facile dismissal. Unless you think calling all the tea party folks racist religious nuts being exploited by Fox and the Kochs is fair. They all have a raw deal, and they’re all angry about it and unsure how to go about expressing it or doing something about it.

It’s just a shame that so many working class and poor people with the same basic needs and interests — jobs, healthcare, education — have been so successfully divided and set upon each other by the extremely wealthy, both in govt and private. The class war was lost long ago. You can blame the government or you can blame the billionaires who buy and sell the representatives of that government, but there’s little difference as long as the game stays rigged.

“A billionaire, a tea partier, and a union guy sit down at a table with a plate of 12 cookies. The billionaire grabs 11 of them and turns to the tea partier and says, “watch out, that union guy is after your cookie!”

tyler dear, it isn’t wall street, its freddie mac and  fannie mae , dodd and  frank.

“Two Occupy Boston members have been arrested on drug charges”……………..Just wondering.
Were the people arrested carrying their Ocupy Boston Membership cards on them?

Where do you get the “take all the money from the 1%” from. All that is being asked is that their tax rate goes back up to where it was before the Bush Tax Cut.

Also of note.
1. The US taxpayer is now on the hook for $154 TRILLION dollars of bad dirivitives from Bank Of America ($75T) and JPMorgan Chase ($79T),
2. The Bush tax cuts that were supposed to create jobs…Those jobs that were “created” by those tax cuts cost the taxpayers $329,000 each. Since the top 1% now pays a lower tax rate than the Middle Class. It’s the Middle Class that is paying for those jobs.

Yeah…Usually the 99% need to spend it on such things as housing, food, clothing…Those things that actually put Americans back to work.

The OWS movement is going to be eclipsed by snow. The TEA party has the good sense to go home at night. Plus, jobs to go to and stuff like that.

Yup. From Gloves’ link above:

And her husband, a former Bank of America financial
adviser who now works at a local Florida bank, is perplexed. “He says
he’s working for ‘the Man,’ and I’m fighting against him,” she said.

I suspect he’s rapidly progressing beyond perplexed.

This one is an especially thick wall.

Also, kids make a good face-sheidl when the police use the pepper spray
because the crowd got violent again.  Most people don’t know that, but
as a human shield even a toddler can protect your entire face.

Boy, that will look totally awesome on YouTube! POLICE BRUTALITY ON TODDLERS!!! Definitely do that. Make sure to stick the kid right in the cops’ face though. Maybe a few head butts will do the trick.

Now you’re protesting!

Fact: Please perform a courteous flush before
posting crap like this liberal lunacy!

The word is out,Obama issued a report to OWS Robots please go home, please take your trash with you our plan is effectually not working. The real Americans are smarter then I thought.

Fact: That’s why they call them yankies up north because they yank on little kids!!! UUURRRPPPP ………UUURRRRPPPP…………..UUUURRRPPP…..

Fact: There are just places were children don’t belong like a baby at a bar with loud band playing on a table with a bottle hanging out of their mouth. People of trash are just trash!!!! OWS with kids at a cult rally are trash!!!!

Fact: Look at what you type in your post. No wonder you want everyone elses money because you got short sided when it comes to brains!!!!

Fact: Why reply to your own post when you can have fun blasting liberals!!!!!

When people bring very young kids, like babies or toddlers who are clueless about the protests, they are doing it so they can show the movement is represented by a wider spectrum of society than the worried Koch-Ailes folks would like you to believe. (They also save on babysitting.) This isn’t unique to OWS. You’d think by now people would have figured out these weak and typical attempts to attack everything left of Reagan as drug-addled hippy talk, but I guess the classics are classics for a reason. The OWS people around the world are no more monolithic than the tea partiers, and no more worthy of facile dismissal. Unless you think calling all the tea party folks racist religious nuts being exploited by Fox and the Kochs is fair. They all have a raw deal, and they’re all angry about it and unsure how to go about expressing it or doing something about it.

It’s just a shame that so many working class and poor people with the same basic needs and interests — jobs, healthcare, education — have been so successfully divided and set upon each other by the extremely wealthy, both in govt and private. The class war was lost long ago. You can blame the government or you can blame the billionaires who buy and sell the representatives of that government, but there’s little difference as long as the game stays rigged.

“A billionaire, a tea partier, and a union guy sit down at a table with a plate of 12 cookies. The billionaire grabs 11 of them and turns to the tea partier and says, “watch out, that union guy is after your cookie!”

spoken like a true socialist.

p.s.  the billionaire brought the cookies.  His wife made them for him to pass out as he went to his office instead of giving change to the street pedlars.

Fact: What is the first thing one must do when followed by a liberal? Move your wallet to the front pocket!!!

a variation of bring you kid to work.  A day or two camping out may teach them something. Certainly won’t spoil them. 
“Occupy” Campaigners Set Up Second London Camp  

Bloomberg’s Olivia Sterns reports from Finsbury
Square in London’s financial
district, where around 100 protesters set up camp as part of a widespread
international anti-capitalist campaign. http://www.newslook.com/videos/364467-occupy-campaigners-set-up-second-london-camp?autoplay=true

and spelling class

nice pottymouth

That was Stonepark3

Where one takes their children says alot about them. Like taking a toddler to a R rated movie – just because they may not understand the dialogue doesn’t mean the images and words won’t leave an impression.

Hard to believe that a liberal would make excuses for covering up the rape of a minor.  But you just did. 

Have you even been there for yourself? What filth? You seem to be another person that has been brainwashed by the media. 

Felix, You have to wonder whose in the Tea Party too.

Right, the billionaire harvested the wheat, built the mill, the oven, everything from top to bottom. This line of thinking, that if it weren’t for billionaires we’d all be unemployed, ignores everything about economics, as well as everything about the last 20 years. By your logic, the dramatic rise in the number of billionaires and the steady drop in taxes on the wealthy and corporations since Reagan would have us all living in a paradise. Instead, darn it, those billionaires just keep on keeping the money. Same goes for the biggest corporations. It’s in their best interest, of course, so why begrudge them? Why shouldn’t a top company take cheap loans and sit on $50bn in cash and pay out big bonuses instead of hiring and building things? I wouldn’t dream of forcing them or anyone else to run their businesses differently. But public pressure is not the same as heavy handed legislation.

This “you’re a socialist!” stuff is cute because my leanings are far more libertarian. I’m for low taxes, no misuse of the Commerce Claus, etc. I heart billionaires, even know a few. But when the game has been rigged so far in the favor of capital that you have catastrophes like the financial crisis, and soaring Dow with 9% unemployment, something is very wrong. I’m against over-regulation, but if we’re going to make these amazing financial tools we need to have rules about using them, the same way we made amazing nuclear weapons but don’t think the 2nd Amendment gives everyone a right to build one in his backyard.
This critical mass of a generation of low wages and now chronic high unemployment is why I don’t think the tea party and the OWS happening around the same time is a coincidence. It’s popular resentment with no clear political path to resolving it.

Sorry – didn’t read the bull crap.  

No, he bought the ingredients at Walmart.

I dont need to stick my head up a cow’s butt to know if the T-bone is going to be good.  Been to NY 2 dozen times.  A glorious modern crap hole filled with self important over read Libs who have trouble lacing their boots up.  Any questions?  …and I was gentlte with you. :)

OWS:  they dont even know who their kids are or fled.   All is mute.  There still living in mom’s basement and when its cold and snowing back to the Xbox and oreos.   …and mom could you wash my not so whites?

Liberal filth get a few more rights…their special.  Their mom said so.

yes, it’s easy to buy and find drugs at the OWS.  Is that news to you?

security is not a bunch of volunteers you’ve just met. There’s a reasons why when I need someone to watch my kids I don’t ask the stranger on the street to watch them.  Unsafe and unbelievably stupid. 

I tell my kids don’t talk to strangers.  Apparently, you folks are telling them to rely on strangers for security.  Crazy.

They base the police reports on WHERE the arrest occurred, of course.   

Though predictable, it’s laughable the extent to which the mainstream corporate media (and most of the commentators on this site) will go to avoid addressing the actual injustices that OWS is protesting.

Children. The ultimate Political Lifestyle accoutrement.

It is easy to buy and find drugs ANYWHERE in NYC.
