We disagree about OWS, let's leave it at that...

By the way, Yes I would piss in a church if that church made every effort to piss on my community. And I would be sure to piss right out in the open where everyone would see!

I'm sure you would given your hatred and spitefulness for the world.

You're in the middle of the occupy movement.
 
This church that supposedly "pissed on the community" made the mistake of sympathizing with the Occutards and opening their doors to them.

Give the tards an inch and they'll take a mile.
 
Pissing churches that are staffed by members of the 99%.

Just one more example of why the world think the occupiers suck.

yea...AAH here we come.

She's an idiot! And she does not represent the whole of the Occupy movement.

I don't care if she's an idiot, she's young and cute. This has nothing to do with anyone being right about a protest or not. It has to do with my being a bit of a lech.
 
Wait, OWS is political movement? Someone should tell them that the homeless camp down the street from me is using their name.

The phrase "Occupy Wall Street' has become a rage grenade. Just roll it into any thread and BOOM!

This also works with elevators, circumcision and sometimes breast feeding.

Here's the deal: if I breast feed from you in an elevator, can we agree not to circumcise me?

Oh, wait, too late.

Yes, that's the beer talking.

You could say that about the right wingers here. I know I would.

This is part of the problem that the supporters of OWS don't understand. It isn't just "right wingers" who don't like the group and think they are a disorganised mob with no perceptible aims, no identifiable leaders, and nothing to offer a civilised political debate. There was a smattering of empathy for them, in their early days, from civic leaders, business leaders, union leaders, and many other people who could have provided them support and guidance.

And they had one of the best marketing slogans in recent memory.

What did they do with it? They pissed it all down the drain and united everyone--leftists, centrists, rightists--business people and unions--educators and police--renters and property owners--net debtors and net creditors--against them. This is practically a first in the history of political movements. The OWS and the various Occupy movement have almost deliberately marginalised themselves into the same category as the Aryan Nations, LaRouchists, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Marxist-Leninists. None of those starry-eyed sociology students from upstate New York are ever going to include their participation in this train wreck on their resume without a substantial disclaimer about their withdrawal before it degenerated into a howling pack of violent criminals.

Those who sympathised with them the most and felt that there ought to be more accountability for corporate America should be the ones most angered by their antics. It is those people who were primarily betrayed by the bottle-throwers, graffiti-sprayers, and looters.
 
That's about the best summation anyone could have come up with to describe how things went down in the real world.

Occupy actually had a shot. Had they stayed slightly left of center they might have retained the popular support and with it, the political support needed to address their most prominent issues.

But true to the radical left's form they made it all about themselves and their *moral superiority* and, in the end just came out looking like the core group moonbats they really are.

Ah, occupiers, all you'll ever be able to do is complain.
 
The perils of being fringe loonies. They burn out and never achieve anything because they're fringe loonies.
