Unfortunately, no one gives a crap about #occupywallstreet. The big news is how they arranged the protest, not the actual views of the protestors.

Agree with OP...it's interesting how the MSM is attempting to marginalize this protest by turning it into a left vs right thing...same playbook they used against the tea party protests.

I support the protests, but to be fair, they are just some hundreds. And for the size of the protest they are receiving a lot of media attention, a lot more than other bigger protests.

The size of the protests are far larger than some hundreds.

Thank you for posting this. I suppose I fell into the trap of thinking the protesters had no meaningful voice.

+1

I have to admit, being as obsessed with BTC as I am, I notice little about anything else in the world, and I am glad the protests became linked to BTC in this manner, otherwise they may have been of less importance to me.

I must be the only person around that thinks that he looks stoned and is repeating cliches.

But I'm happy to see at least one person there repeating cliches that were at least true.

Second on the stoned slogan chanter.

Much like the tea party this movement has all the right outrage but no proper sense of direction. It thus leaves itself ripe for co-option from Moore, a parade of statists and public sector unions. No different than the tea party being co-opted by Beck, Palin and conventional Republicans.

If the cliche didn't have some striking truth or applicability to it, would it ever become cliche in the first place?

Let Moore and Ron and Bernanke and Santa Claus all come down! That's precisely what the United States dearly lacks. COMMUNICATION. Middle ground. Understanding.
