Progressives Launching 'October Offensive' To Rival Tea Party

[Lakhota]

Former White House adviser Van Jones says that progressives are going to launch an "October offensive" to rival the Tea Party, in the spirit of the Arab Spring protests across the Middle East.

"Everybody should hold onto their seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back. You can see it coming," Jones said this week on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell.

"You are going to see an American Fall, an American Autumn, just like we saw the Arab Spring," Jones continued. "You can see it right now with these young people on Wall Street. Hold onto your hats, we're going to have an October offensive to take back the American dream and to rescue America's middle class."

What are they going to call it, the Leach Party?

I thought the TEA Party was already dead. Why does anyone need to counter it?

No, the House is the looney right... Wisconsin is the looney right... Ohio is the looney right... Indiana is the looney right...

ABC News’ Olivia Katrandjian reports:

The Occupy Wall Street movement, growing to more than 1,500 people in its second week, called for a march in lower Manhattan today at 3 p.m. to “show that it is time that the 99% are heard.”

“We are unions, students, teachers, veterans, first responders, families, the unemployed and underemployed. We are all races, sexes and creeds. We are the majority. We are the 99 percent. And we will no longer be silent,” read a post on the Occupy Wall Street website.

Wow, they must want to be really, really certain obama isn't reelected.

Again?

First they tried the 'Coffee Party'.... Epic Fail.

Then they tried the 'citizen journalists' (via the HuffPuff).... Epic Fail.

So now they're trying an 'October Offensive'.... Who gives a fuck? Bring it on. This country is, by nature, center right. Live with it, Lefties. Your constant fails are fun.

Congress has Obama's hands tied, so he may even have a hand in this...

Funny how when it's a Democrat in the WH, Congress has 'tied his hands', but when it was Bush, he alone was responsible. That shows an interesting 'thought process'... in that it clearly shows an absolute lack of any thought whatsoever.

Must be hard to be that dumb.

I especially enjoyed their attempt at talk radio. That was fun.

If that is still true, then maybe that's the problem.

Didn't Bush have total control of Congress for SIX of his EIGHT years?

So, Americans are 'the problem'. Well, it's their country. If you don't like that, fuck off and move... and take your commie buddies with y'all.
