‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest stakes out spotlight at GOP economic debate

HANOVER, N.H. — Barely 48 hours before nine Republican presidential hopefuls are scheduled to debate at Dartmouth College, signs began appearing on campus Sunday evening announcing a demonstration in support of the Occupy Wall Street protests. A “Students Stand With Staff” organization with ties to the Service Employees International Union is organizing the event.

The group plans to hold its rally on the center of campus during the four hours immediately preceding Tuesday evening’s high-profile debate.

Sterling Beard, a senior at the college and editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review, a conservative campus newspaper, told The Daily Caller that organized labor’s grievances with Dartmouth — and the Students Stand With Staff organization — go back several years.

“President [Jim] Kim came in and inherited a $100 million budget gap,” Beard said of Dartmouth College’s president, who took over in July 2009. “He turned it around, but the unions didn’t like the way he did it. He really ticked off the SEIU. And that’s when Students Stand With Staff came about. It’s all about protecting the union.”

The whole thing is just manufactured astroturf. Bunch of douchebags living off of dad’s dime to go protest and complain.

I got a good slogan for them though. “What we want? We don’t know! When do we want it? NOW!”

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

Let there be no doubt that the Obama regime is behind this “occupy Wallatreet” movement. They are following the template which Lenin used in bringing down the Kerensky (meshevik) government .

How many of these protestors are getting paid $350 - $650 weekly to protest and got their gig via Craig’s list?

“Make $350-650 a week “protesting” on Wall Street.”
