This seems more like a recipe on how to totally destroy the country!! And just think.. Obama and the democrats support these loons!! WOW

[Pan_Yan]

It’s not worth the time it would take to comment on all the stupidity, however i do have a question:

What political prisoners?

[Vendome]

And I demand you GFY...

[agrarianlady]

I couldn’t figure out if this was a troll posting. It almost seems like it. If not, I would care more to the point of posting it everywhere. My friend put it on facebook.

[mnehring]

Create a maximum wage of $90/hr to eliminate inequality.

I love these idiots calling for maximum wages. That is under $200K per year. Do they know how many home builders, car dealerships, etc would immediately go out of business? How many neighborhoods would be abandoned? Of course, those all employ peons like the 99%ers. This stupidity is why I've promised to never hire any of these protestors.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Is this satire or just more sophomoric college kid stupidity?

[mrsmith]

You’d think their top demand would be for Acorn (or whatever they’re called now) to give them medical benefits and a living wage for protesting...

Astroturf!

[mnehring]

What political prisoners?

Everyone imprisoned for drug crimes of course. The imaginary war on drugs is just a war against freedom- thus they are political prisoners. /sarcastic paultard voice.

[KentuckianaHeadhunter]

This is a user contribution, not their official statement

[apillar]

Uhh yeah OWS hippies, good luck with that, make sure you push that real hard, try to get the democrats to adopt it as their platform. (That should guarantee a complete conservative takeover of every level of government in 2012...)

[Malone LaVeigh]

What political prisoners?

C'mon comrade, you know, heroes of the revolution like Mumia Abu-Jamal ...

[mnehring]

If Zero wins re-election and doesn’t have to worry about voters again, I’m concerned he’ll go big and look at this list as ‘a good start’.

[Daffynition]

[Gen.Blather]

“What political prisoners?”

I suspect they’d view anybody in prison for killing a cop, or, maybe a banker or other “rich” person, a political prisoner. If William Ayers were in prison for his various bombings then he’d be a political prisoner. I base this assumption on the cop killers Bill Clinton pardoned.

It takes a peculiar eye to see this view.

[dfwgator]

I demand they bring back “Battle of the Network Stars.”

[Lawdoc]

They forgot the part about forgiving all student loans.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Not Listed but has ALWAYS a demand by Marxist like Ayers:

Women will be available at all time to service any male at any time.

I wonder what NOW thinks of this demand??

[cripplecreek]

The following are some of the planks of the National socialist (Nazi) Party of Germany, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living.

The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all.

Therefore, we demand:

an end to the power of the financial interests .

We demand profit sharing in big business.

We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.

We demand. . . the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments.

In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . .

We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . . .

The government must undertake the improvement of public health — by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor — by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.

We combat the . . . materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of " The Common Good Before the Individual Good ."

[King Moonracer]

Directive 10-289???

And here I thought the left hated Ayn Rand. They’re using her villains as role models.
