It changed to the national discussion somewhat.
It rallied those who see the economic problems as coming from Wall Street's excesses.
That's about it far as I can see.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Republican Governors Association met this week in Florida to give GOP state executives a chance to rejuvenate, strategize and team-build. But during a plenary session on Wednesday, one question kept coming up: How can Republicans do a better job of talking about Occupy Wall Street?
"I'm so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I'm frightened to death," said Frank Luntz, a Republican strategist and one of the nation's foremost experts on crafting the perfect political message. "They're having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism."
Luntz offered tips on how Republicans could discuss the grievances of the Occupiers, and help the governors better handle all these new questions from constituents about "income inequality" and "paying your fair share."
That's not entirely true. The movement exists because they are unhappy with Obama and the rest of the democrats. That is a given and if you do not understand that then you have not been actually paying attention. The fact is they are going to vote for Obama simply because they have no other choice. They are democrats after all.Oh well, I tried being reasonable, guess I should just go around calling the teabaggers nazis and flinging wild theories about like a maniac.
There is nothing reasonable about you. The use of "Teabagger" as an epithet is sufficient to warrant the moniker of "Shitter" for the OWS astroturfers.
In the end, I just pointed out the fact that the Shitters are a 100% Obama centric group, with one goal, the reelection of Barack Obama.

February 1st a packed crowd turned out at LAVA to hear Alex Knight and George Caffentzis do an introductory breakdown of capitalism, event one of a 10 week series on Dissecting Capitalism.
George Caffentzis, who some may know from his writings with Midnight Notes (including Promissory Notes, much discussed around LAVA circles a couple years back) started it off giving a historic breakdown of the development of capitalism.
Next up, Alex Knight, blogger at End of Capitalism and protagonist at Occupy Philly spoke on capitalism as an abusive relationship, his theory on the impending end of capitalism and what he sees as our current mode of Zombie Capitalism.

They are a bunch of virulent, anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Free Enterprise disgraces and have marginalized themselves in record time even with backing from the White House and a pliant LMSM
Tell us how you really feel.

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.

Less for the crooked politicians and their cronies to steal.Draining city coffers of millions of dollars.
Not nearly as much as the phony War on Drugs has done and continues to do -- without comment from such astute right-wing observers.Distracted police so that countless other crimes occured.
But not nearly as many as those far more significant crimes they are calling attention to -- such as crimes which have looted our Treasury and caused the near collapse of the Nation's economy.Committed a number of crimes themselves.
USA TODAY's editorial is right to say that Occupy might lack clear goals on how to move forward, but the movement has accomplished its main original goal: to protest these injustices, not by simply holding a rally and going home, but by keeping the rally going to underscore the seriousness of this problem. Your piece accuses the protesters of sitting around and doing nothing. So maybe they should take up their Second Amendment-sanctioned guns and storm Wall Street and our nation's capitals. If our country doesn't change, it could very well come to that one day.
