Right's Lame Attack on Occupy Wall St. Shows the Poverty of Conservative Ideology

[G.T.]

How many arrests at Wall St.

How many arrests of Tea Partiers??

These folks on Wall St. surely do have theright to protest anything their hearts desire just as the Tea Partiers did. Funny thing is though that the media called the TPers racists, terrorists and you name it. They were viewed as extremists. Guess wanting smaller Govt and a tighter rein of spending is extreme for some.

The folks on Wall St. don't seem to have any clear message other than its all Wall St.'s fault while they are totally forgetting that Wall St. couldn't do anything if the Clowns in DC weren't paving the way for them.

However, that being said, they do have right to protest ala the 1st Ammendment.

Do you think the Gov't paved the way for them by accident? If not, who do you think put them up to it? Exactly.

Another coward who turns off any way to reply to her constant whining:

lol, so he post a whiney post to complain about someone whining...
can't make it up folks.

It's the only avenue she has left open for me to tell her that she's an asshat. I would have been happy to tell her privately.

Conservatives would IMHO be wiser to keep their big mouths shut, perhaps outside of acknowledging the rights to free speech and vowing to work on tax reform. I thought the left looked lame when they bad-mouthed the Tea Partiers, now it appears the right wil return the politial favor.

Application denied. And the baseless comparison is rejected.

The left's "criticism" of the Tea Partiers was premised on liberal dishonesty.

The general conservative criticism of the OWS numb-skulls is based on reality: Specifically, there is nobody who can put a coherent point on the supposed purpose of these "protests."

Not one of the Soros' Bitches can intelligently articulate the basic premise of their "complaint," and they have even less success in attempting to state a proposed "solution."

There aren't really any similiarities between the Tea Parties and this.

This isn't a left/right thing. There is a major difference between those advocating a restoration of the Constitution and the government it gives us and calling for revolution and violence.

Actually, big corporate media craves the low tax agenda. This is why they glorified the Tea Party revolt against Obama's Town Hall. They created the impression that this was a grassroots ("salt of the earth") movement rather than pure "astroturf", e.g., funded and organized by big insurance trough "Freedom Works".

Small government? Are you kidding? The Tea Party defends big health Insurance and Wall Street, which is filled with mega-corporations who are wholly subsidized and protected by Big Brother, who bails them out whenever they need it. The Tea Party protects the collusion of Big Business with Big Government by screaming socialist at anybody who wants to break-up this unholy marriage. The Tea Party is, at worse, a corporate invention (designed to deflect populist rage against their destruction of the economy), and at best, a collection of useful idiots.

If the OWS was attacked the way the Tea Party was the sissie fat kids would be running home to mama a month ago. Nobody is attacking the OWS but the left "thinks" the OWS is being attacked and in their constant emotional state their fantasy world fuels their unrelenting hatred.

Could you please provide some examples of attacks on the Tea Party? I'm asking because I want to know if you mean literal physical attacks with truncheons and tear gas or just rhetorical attacks the way someone like, say, Rush Limbaugh might attack.

And the lunatic fringe weighs in...... Umm....thanks for your contribution. You're a little star and don't let anyone tell you you're not.

And I bet you're very proud of this little nugget.

I'm not comparing nothing and nobody, just saying that the OWSers have the right to speak their piece, just as the TPers did. I don't think it benefits anybody on the right to demagogue them, as the dems did to the TPers. Whether the OWSers are coherent or inarticulate is beside the point, they ain't happy with the system the way it is now and they have a right to say so. I'm saying the right oughta avoid reacting the way the lefties did.

Sallow, mthe person in that one video who got put in a headlock? Was not being peaceful.

You miss the point. Both protests have been treated differently. I don't know how Tea Party protesters got close enough to elected officials to spit on them. None were arrested. They haven't been maced. Yet somehow cops see fit to arrest and mace OWS.

A couple of years ago the Pope came to my block. After work I tried to get into my apartment which was located about 3/4 of a city block from the church he was at. My block, mind you. The police would not let me into my own apartment. The apartment I own and pay taxes on.

So I seriously don't see how that those circumstances are possible.

It looks more simple than that, tbh.

They have an obvious barricade.

She crossed it.

She continues to approach the cops after being pushed away. Ba'am. Subdue the bitch. Totally justified police force, in that particular video.

Mmmm....well, it got fairly contentious at least once here on the Mall when some lunnies wouldn't stay on the path and decided to try to confront the tea party people during a rally.

I don't remember more than screaming and I think someone came in and put the lunnies back on the path and everything settled down.

Now, if you count the town hall confrontations of representatives as "tea party events," then when the unions bussed in (what would be the neutral way of describing them) large men with a pro-Congress attitude to "counter-balance" the tea-party point of view, some of them cracked some tea party heads. I'm sure they meant well though and will be discounted by their supporters as not having been a sufficient number of heads to really matter.

Who are you talking to when you keep proclaiming their right? I haven't seen anyone who says they don't have a right to speak their piece.

Everyone else has the same right to comment on things that make them happy or unhappy. A bunch of people standing crapping up a bunch of parks for reasons they can't articulate, makes me unhappy. I have a right to comment. Stop trying to stifle people 1st Amendment rights wiseacre.

Sometimes one just has to laugh at conservatives. I've been listening to conservative media types mocking the grass roots movement. Unfortunately for conservatives, most of the people involved in these protests have gotten squeezed by the economic turndown. It's conceivable that they could be tempted to vote for a Republican in the upcoming election. But if they're mocked by the right in this country, that's increasingly unlikely.

Here's a question for everyone. Why do you think that no presidential candidate never disses country music? You don't think they all LOVE country music, do you?

You see, there's an old axiom in politics. Don't mock any large segment of the electorate if you hope to convince them to vote for you, or your candidate, or your party.

I sincerely hope that conservatives continue to mock the protesters if for no other reason than it's just plain stupid. Keep in mind that those protesters also have friends and family members who are just as likely to be motivated to vote as they are.

It's conceivable that they could be tempted to vote for a Republican in the upcoming election.

Yeah, right.


But if they're mocked by the right in this country, that's increasingly unlikely.

Don't hurt the babies' feelings, they'll pout and vote for handouts from Obama.

The police must deal with large crowds and assess the threat of the crowd according to the facts on the ground. The tea party protests were large, well ordered events where the crowds even policed up their trash. OWS is the opposite of that. (And, they are the worst kind of guest, they don't know when to leave.)

Police are the ultimate realists. Fuck with them and they WILL fuck you up. Your choice.

Do you think the TPers and the OWSers have acted in the same way, obeying the law and causing no trouble? The TPers held their events and went home, no fuss no muss. When are the OWSers going home?

Hey, Obama, where are the JOBS?
