".. there seems to be some confusion about the message"

[Yonivore]

OK, This is true. Still, some of them were definitely from the bottom of the barrel.

Like this guy?

You have incorrectly assumed that the protesters are something called "left".

"Left" and "right" are ambiguous. Probably as ambiguous as you can get. The amount of people who pigeonhole every single person, group, or topic in to a "left" or "right" camp is fascinating. It is truly indicative of how completely idiotic most US citizens are.

There is no one from the right involved.

Now the unions, communist groups, and progressives are trying to pump up the numbers.

Which in turn will probably be the end of the protests.

Winter will end the protests.

[Yonivore]

Winter will end the protests.

I suspect disinterest and boredom step in sooner than that.

[ElNono]

Winter will end the protests.

It's like any hijack... eventually the original people get tuned out by the tangents.

[DarrinS]

The protesters are just bad at math. They are the .99%ers.

Basically. Much like the Tea Party.

This is no tea party....this is a revolution....

Cloverfield....

You do, of course, realize the grasshoppers in "A Bug's Life," represent the same do-nothing, socialists/anarchists/liberals that are now infesting the "Occupy" movement who think they're en led to the fruits of other peoples' labor.

Right?

Aesop

The Ant and the Grasshopper

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"

"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."

"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; "We have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger - while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.

Except, in the Pixar and "Occupy" versions, the grasshopper feels compelled to take, by force, that which doesn't belong to them.

[Nbadan]

The only question I have about all these 'Occupy xxxxxx' is, does none of these people work?

Yeah, I know

[Nbadan]

Now is your time....will you stand?

[Wild Cobra]

Well now. I won't stand on the street and block traffic. What do they expect anyway? That they have the right to block the free movement of others?

If the protester is breaking any law, arrest him. What's with the pushing and shoving?

[Nbadan]

NYPD's finest..

[Wild Cobra]

They were already warned. Should the police go strait to arrest mode?

[Nbadan]

Step up...or get out of the way

[ElNono]

They were already warned. Should the police go strait to arrest mode?

They certainly shouldn't go 'strait' to push and shove mode.
