(Occupiers out of parks! Go occupy Qom.) Since when does the local populace like the occupier?
I would suggest that local media outlets hither and yon making a meal of a few hundred malcontents is wearing thin by now.
They were going to need cigs like after sex on MSNBC the other night because OBAMA was doing GREAT in the polls LOL he went up 6 points for a day maybe...
I worked across the street from Zucotti Park/Liberty Square for years, in the WTC, in Liberty Plaza, and on Rector Street. The people who are being inconvenienced most by the “Occupiers” are not the “1%-ers”. Those guys eat lunch in their offices, on their trading desks, at a meeting in a conference room or they go out to lunch. The people who were using the park before all of this were the secretaries, mail room guys, and back office types. Now they have to schelp their falaffel the better part of a mile around Ground Zero to the World Financial Center if they want to eat their lunch outdoors. I’m just saying.
Watched a few minutes of the PBS Newshour last night--they had a report on "Occupy Oakland" that was pretty sympathetic...they must think their core viewers (upper-income Democrats) are still favorably-inclined to the movement.
They obviously didnt start enough fires...
This whole thing is so bizarre after a while.
We can say that 1% have a disproportionate amount of wealth and all that. So that means 99% of us are not in that group.
But what makes these protesters think that the 99% support them? I’m in that 99%, but, I also value the social, economic, and political stability of the United States. I absolutely do not want these radicals to stage some sort of revolution to overthrow the existing order.
I’ve done ok in life, but not nearly enough to get into that top 1%. But I think our existing economic and social order should be preserved, not destroyed in pursuit of some mythical utopia. And I value the contributions of the 1% in terms of their creating businesses, which creates jobs for all of us, and contributing to charities. I do not demonize people who have greater wealth than I do.
If their poll numbers are going down, look for this to be escalated QUICKLY. Union leaders will see to that.
Might have something to do with most people aren't perverted homosexual fecalfiliacs.
A group of stoned stupid citizens that smell of excrement. What's not to like?
As I recall nearly 30% wanted to keep king george as the leader

What are the OWS people in FAVOR of?
