I love to hear conservatives complaining that the protesters should be in Washington instead of Wall Street, as if the conservatives were really concerned about the most effective way for the demonstrators to make their case.
This location-based argument suggests a limiting "either/or" mentality that you can't be in both places, and also assumes that there's no reason to be on Wall Street at all.
As Herman Cain said recently, "Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself.
But there's a good reason why Wall Street serves as an ideal venue for the demonstration. Unlike politicians in Washington, who have to answer to voters every few years, corporate executives on Wall Street don't have to answer to the public, even though their actions have a huge impact on all of us. It seems to me, the protesters picked a reasonable venue to launch their movement. In fact, judging by the row of satellite trucks parked outside the protest, I'd say Wall Street was exactly the right place to draw attention to their cause.
Who are you quoting as making that claim? And where?
*She has me on ignore so she won't respond. LMAO.*

I've been down to the Mpls Occupados every work day since it started. I've read their signs and heard some of their moronic chants.Keith Boykin: Everything The Media Told You About Occupy Wall Street Is Wrong
For months, people have been claiming "nobody can speak to the TPM, unless you've actually witnessed one yourself. Okay, turn about is fair play then, right?

The Tea Party, without exception across the country, has clearly stated objectives expressed in various ways: Persuade our elected leaders to cut back on wasteful spending thus reducing the size and scope of government, work toward a balanced budget, stimulate the economy by encouraging the private sector, and respect individual liberties. . . or . . .replace them with people who will.
The OWS has stated objectives of. . . .what?

I let them speak for the movement and have found them nothing more than ingrateful useless idiots more or less socializing and looking for excuses to be assholes and obnoxious to those trying to work for a living.
What have YOU witnessed in person? What have you participated in?

I don't recall any accusations of rapes occurring at Tea Party events either.
You guys realize we have been talking about a protest of nothing more than a couple hundred people?
I'm hearing that no ones there, its all media hype a ploy for ratings and hopefully thats all it will be. Or it will get just some sheep whipped up into a frenzy and who knows where that'll go. Look I think they have a right to be mad, but what has been the reaction from Wall Street? They don't care... This isn't going to change anything....
Myth #1. The Movement Is Violent.
Myth #2. It's Just A Bunch Of Pampered Kids.
Myth #3. There Are No Black People Involved.
Myth #4. They're Anti-American.
Myth #5. They're Just Modern-Day Hippies.
Myth #6. They Don't Know What They Want.
Myth #7. The Labor Unions Are Behind This.
Myth #8. They're Pro-Obama. They're Anti-Obama.
Myth #9. They're In The Wrong Place.
Myth #10. They're Taking Over Wall Street.

I don't know how many people are involved and I don't care. I do know a fair number of them think violence is okay to make a point and I know they're making a huge mess wherever they are congregating and costing honest taxpayers millions of dollars in city assets. That, coupled with the fact that they don't know what they want but they want it now is a royal turn off for honest, hard working Americans. Those who disrespect others are not worthy of respect.
And not to mention personal property thefts from OWS participants...and they make frequent use of soap and water.

And usually the normal police patrols are sufficient at Tea Party rallies, no property damage to report, and clean up already done when they leave. The extra police activity required by OWS is now running into the millions for municipalities where the demonstrations are going on, not to mention extensive property damage and huge messes left for city workers to clean up.
