Occupy Atlanta Marches on Georgia-Pacific building

ATLANTA —

Protesters with Occupy Atlanta marched to the Georgia-Pacific building downtown late Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to levitate the building.

The group held a news conference shortly after 3 p.m. where they announced they will march to the building around 5:30 p.m. if the Koch brothers, who own the company, don't remove all of their money from political campaigns and institutions.

"The Koch brothers spent vast amounts of money to insure that legislation in Washington benefits their private and corporate interest, rather than those of the American people. This means fewer protections for you and your family and less taxation and regulation for them" William Marshall said.

Williams said should they refuse they will march on the Georgia-Pacific building in an attempt to levitate it in a spirit of anti-war demonstrations of the 1960s.

Despite an announcement from the mayor saying he will revoke his order allowing the protesters to stay in the park, protesters are staying firm saying they will not leave the park.

I can’t wait till someone grows some ‘nads and puts a bunch of security guards around their property with riot guns and attack dogs and gives these steaming pantloads a dose of reality.

The Atlanta Occupy thing has pretty much been a failure. They didn’t exactly get off to a good start when the adorable white lefties decided to ban John Lewis from speaking. So now they are going to tewll the Koch brothers how they should be allowed to spend their money. These people are laughable but I hope they continue and if the republican party is smart (yeah I know big if) they should connect these people to the democratic party.

These leftist fools whine about the Koch brothers, but they have no problem taking money from Soros. Soros is a jackass for giving it to them, because they could care less about him.

Occupy Atlanta? Well call me Gen. Sherman and get my matches!

Hey Phil. Where are you and your troops? Got matches?

Ah, those were the good old days.

“We know that the unions and certain union-related organizations have been behind these protests that are going on on Wall Street and other parts around the country. It’s coordinated to create a distraction so people won’t focus on the failed policies of this administration,” presidential candidate Herman Cain said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Why don’t the occupiers just boycott Georgia-Pacific products and wipe their butt with a corncob?
Now THAT would make a statement!

In Wisconsin, during the Capitol protests, it was reported that the Teacher’s Union had pension fund investments in Georgia-Pacific.

Ask any lefty why they want to get rid of corporations and bankrupt all the union pensions and individual IRA/401k accounts.
