Occupy OTF

I think it's funny how the "Tea Party" blowhards are attacking OWS, when both are basically fighting against the different sides of the same cow chip.

*ducks*

It's called unwanted competition. Cockfights are based on that principle.

he got me with that too, he's not banned. it's his damned 'tar.

It's not all bad.

Uh, actually, yes, they are. They're a collection of ACORN and union-sponsored punks who are ignorant enough not to recognize how they're being used.

getting people interested in civics shouldn't require an economic meltdown.

Which leads to the question, why are the TEA types hated by those self-same progs? Answer: OWS is an astroturfed sham.

Plus, it's interesting to see the hyper-progressives at the same rally as libertarians. talk about weird bed-fellows. no wonder they couldn't agree on what they were about.

Nonsense (considering what you're calling "Libertarians"); they had plenty of common ground.

while we do every time we get drunk and angry with him.

Well, at least that explains your incoherency, Bob. I'd cut down if I were you, though - your liver will thank you for it later.

Yeah, except that they're not. Remember when all those violent TEA Party terror-types were arrested? Good times...

Come on jmervyn, you cannot agree to what I wrote. My words could be interpreted as if I threw socialists and the Tea Party movement into the same boat!

BTW, jmervyn's avatar is among the top 10 in this forum IMO. I almost fell for it as well.

I said "almost", so no extra notch on your keyboard!

I take it you mean your mention of 'cockfights'; while it merits discussion I chose not to respond and cloud the issue even further. Those of us with a healthy dose of paranoia do indeed believe the OWS crowd are the mobilization of the totalitarian New Left in an attempt to counter the TEA movement.

Think about it; it makes perfect sense in the way the message is hypocritical yet the most resonant themes were found in the TEA Party over a year earlier.

Well, perhaps not <all> the most resonant themes...

As I noted in another thread, the Tea Party people got all their required permits, behaved themselves, left peacefully when finished, and most often left their venues tidier than they found them. Further, not a single Tea Partier was arrested at their events.

The Occupiers just show up, refuse to leave, trash the hell out of their venue, and engage in all kinds of criminal activities, get themselves arrested in the hundreds, and openly challenge and attack the police.

POOF!

Good to see my mind control powers are as sharp as ever.

Strange... when I put on my mod sunglasses, I see the text "OBEY TO JMERVYN" instead of the pic.

But doesn't that also make the pic different...

EDIT - Here's a nice graphic examination in the bargain...

Adjusting the mod glasses turns the first picture into one with papa smurf. That feels better!

As said before, I agree to at least half of the Tea Party agenda, but people would as well agree to 60% of statements from people with whom they don't want to be thrown into the same basket!

Who said what?

a) "100 fools aren't smarter than one fool"
b) "Make things as simple as possible, but not too simple"
c) "The die has been thrown" (things are in motion now, inevitably) <-- easy one
d) "If people knew how sausages and laws are made, they couldn't sleep anymore"

1) Einstein
2) Bismarck
3) Caesar
4) Hitler
