Occupy Wall Street is a tea party with brains (blood pressure warning)
MarketWatch ^ | 10/4/2011 | David Weidner

More than two weeks after a band of young people began camping out under the shadow of the New York Stock Exchange, the movement to remake America’s inequitable financial system is growing

It’s been called the Woodstock of Wall Street, but that’s hardly an apt comparison. The gathering at Max Yasgur’s farm 42 years ago was built on a generation looking for peace, love, some drugs and acid rock. The kids today are looking for real, tangible change of the capitalist sort. They’re organized, lucid and motivated.

Occupy Wall Street has a claque in the dominant media - something the Tea Party could only have wished for. These people are "brainy" - while the Tea Party is "racist". (gag)

"Occupy Wall Street" should be called "Facebook Spring".

Had to listen to liberals on Fox, who all were afraid of the Tea Party, say these idiots are engaged in a “legitimate expression of their rage”.

Just the word “occupy”is a threat of violence and revolution. And these protesters couldn’t find their asses with both hands.

These people are idiots. They are now protesting in Santa Barbara, CA. Yet, still calling themselves #occupywallstreet.
How credible can a group be when their name doesn’t make sense. Just watched an interview and its the same old stuff, “they got stuff and I want it”.

I like the one Sean Hannity was interviewing today by phone on his radio show: “We have to stop the million dollar bonuses and stuff because there’s starving children”

...more like a collection of losers and trust funders with too much free time and the thought of responsibility and growing up scares the hell out of them.

These brats have never paid a bill in their lives or taken responsibility for anything. Mom and Dad are probably still paying the cell phone bills for their endless tweeting.

You know what I do not understand is why aren't they mad at Hollywood, Musicians or Sports players as well they are all rich. Why is it okay for some people to be rich like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet but if you work on Wall street or Big Oil you are bad.

I can guarantee one thing. NONE of these Huggies-wearing, snot-nosed little bass turds are paying taxes. They can afford to act like morons. Our college dollars at work.

This is what happens when an empty suit with community agitator credentials cannot run on his dismal record. Instead, he spends his campaign funds on creating chaos.

I agree. I asked a guy once what he thought a CEO should be paid? He didn’t have an answer. So I said the person probably works 100+ hours a weeks, in charge of 1000s of people and the board of directors pays them according to some criteria, so how much should they get paid, still no answer. The guy just got mad and called me a female dog.
These people no nothing about business or how pay structures are structured.

Self-centered, leftoid, adolescent whiners complaining the government doesn’t confiscate enough from others and give it to them.

Is that why they dressed as zombies? So they could shuffle around mumbling "Brains...Brains..."?

Obviously, it is soooo over our heads, we'll just never get it.
