What, if anything, has OWS actually accomplished?

[Dragon]

Other than a weak association between a desire of the 99% movement and the legislation being introduced, do you have something that conclusively links the two?

The rest of your post is nonsense. There was, and remains, considerably more being discussed by both parties, than just the budget deficit.

Re the first, try common sense. The movement raised awareness of money in politics, polls showed this to be a very popular issue, and Tom Harkin introduced a constitutional amendment (which will probably fail). Clearly the amendment was designed to take advantage of the popularity of the issue, and the popularity of the issue became visible only because Occupy brought it before the public eye. Otherwise the poll showing such strong support would probably not even have been taken.

Re the second, I think you know better.

Seriously. What have they actually accomplished? Anywhere?

Anything????

Please be specific and link to your sources.

If the goal of the Shitter movement was to discredit protests against government, then they have accomplished their goal.

By staging these mock protests, the real ones by the Tea Party are diminished, ensuring that the oligarchy is not threatened by an uprising of the populace.

The OWS Shitters are here to defend the ruling elite, and have done a good job at defending the ruling class, particularly Obama.

Most people in America already know there are worthless over-educated people who want something for nothing. We didn't need to be reminded of that.

They are not done yet, not by a long shot. If you hate them now your head will explode with rage next summer. They are going to make your republican candidate continually defend the banking industry costing Romney votes every single time.

So you admit this is just a fraud perpetrated by the leftist power elite to keep Obama in office?

If you read further you will find what my opinion is on Obama and the ows movement.

They only want money out of politics they disagree with. The obama gets a pass on the billion he's spending trying to buy another term. After he's burned through as much public money as he can get away with first, of course.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Obama will not benefit from defending the banking industry any more than Romney will.

The OWS Brownshirts are out there defending and promoting rule by Obama - that seems like some solid benefit to me.

In some ways he is in an even worse predicament,

Because people will see what hypocritical fools his supporters are?

he will have to defend the banking industry while having to show empathy with the people defrauded by the banks, Romney does not have that problem, still looking for republican empathy with any middle class problem.

The Shitters are campaigning for Obama.

That link simply proves they've raised awareness that they have nothing to show for their 'movement'.

Thank you for making my point for me.

Awareness of an issue is always the first step. They haven't achieved anything tangible, but how can you when there was no defined goal. But the awareness they have brought to the situation has been worth the effort. Despite what you might believe.

We've always been aware that there are slackers and clueless people among us.

If you were paying attention, if you knew ANYTHING about what you're talking about, you would know that that isn't true.

Good lord that is twisted.

OWS is funded by Obama and his cronies, Soros and the Unions. 95% of the bodies at any given OWS march are Obama's Union soldiers. Obama's captive press, MSNBC, ABC, Pravda (NY Times), et all are pumping out propaganda 24/7.

The Shitter movement exists to serve Obama.

So how can they serve him? Discrediting legitimate protests is the first step. Real Americans have been protesting government corruption and abuse since 2006, in the Tea Parties. Using this astroturf collection of communists, clowns and union thugs who chant slogans similar to, but perverted from, the ideals of the Tea Party patriots denigrates protests in the minds of the public, making Dear Leader a "victim" and sympathetic figure.

The OWS Shitters are out there working to keep Obama in power.

Are you claiming that you will not support Obama for reelection?

LOL.

Oh well, I tried being reasonable, guess I should just go around calling the teabaggers nazis and flinging wild theories about like a maniac.

Doncha know ... the minute we started talking about them destroying private property and spreading tuberculosis, they won?

They obviously put the fear of the American people into the Republican Party because the GOP have had their CON$ervative hate media smear machine spewing nonstop attacks against them ever since OWS started. CON$ always telegraph what they fear is good for the country by attacking it.
