For Those few OWS supporters that Don't KNOW HOW OWS appears to MOST Americans!

[daveman]

Seems to be a common theme among conservatives. How can we take them seriously? They don't even have jobs

Because someone with a job is invested in society. They're contributing.

Someone without a job is not. Someone with no intention of getting a job cannot be taken seriously when they complain.

They want jobs. As usual, you have missed the point.

They want jobs they haven't prepared themselves for.

The Right demonized the anti-war movement in the 60's in exactly the same way they are demonizing the OWS protests.

hahaha just like you guys called the tea party terrorist ..

They have to come up with more than just "We hate Wall Street!" What do they want specifically? I just don't get them at this point. Are they Anti-Capitalism? Are they Anti-American? Are they just Anti-Republican? Who knows? They just haven't been clear enough. They need to just state what they want or go home. Because now they're just pissing most Americans off. Their support is dwindling.

There are NO FACTS supporting my assumptions but using the OWS statements:
80% of the OWS protesters can't give specific reasons for protesting and therefore can not offer solutions for something they can't describe!

15% of the OWS protesters are the organizers that KNOW the reasons for the protests as WELL as KNOWING how to manipulate mobs.

4% are anarchists who's ONLY objective: destruction.

The remaining 1%

Soros and the protesters deny any connection. But Reuters did find indirect financial links between Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada which started the protests with an inventive marketing campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring type uprising against Wall Street. Moreover, Soros and the protesters share some ideological ground.
