I’ve never wanted or needed to go to New York City before. Never seemed like a very nice place to visit,but I am now considering a trip there soon. It’s good to see something good come out of NY finally. Thank you OWS

It is obvious the ultra-radical, corrupt teachers and transit workers unions are financially backing these “protestors”, which is really adding insult to injury given the horrific state of the public schools, what with the forged test scores, fudged numbers, lowered standards, incompetent quota minority principals and rubber rooms (should be rubber padded rooms).

But never fear they have the Democrats, some Republicans, as well as Obama and Arne Duncan, the “Secretary of Education”, in their pockets. Let’s gid rid of the Department of Education — it is a worthless, useless bureaucracy.

As far as Bloomberg, I wonder why his luxurious townhouse was overlooked by the protestors in their visits to the Upper East Side homes of the rich and powerful. Bloomberg is the mayor and the second richest person in New York. What’s he whining about?

Bloomberg is only concerned for his own image; not that of New York City.
He is being shown to be exactly what he is: an effete, elitist leftist out of touch with reality. He is owned by Wall Street.

Its like the original Woodstock (and probably the follow up copycats) encapsulating what the “60s” we all about. Check the end of the original movie – it was just a big party. People trashed everything and then went home.
These protests are social events.

There is an old saying “You zig while they zag.” Those that were really frustrated with their – in some cases – job situation stayed home and took advantage of the sudden lack of applicants and got jobs.

Trapped and proud of it..Bloomberg is in a hard place because he condones the government unions and allows them to corrupt the vote of the taxpayer. Ihe confronts them on this protestor issue they cause the workings of NYC to stop by their own ties to the unions supporting the protestors.

Wise up you political pukes and decertify the government unions, they are not legal and they are a corrupting influence on the tax payer and voters….

NYC needs a good rain to wash away the filth.

I remember when the Tea Party was making similar complaints before they were co-opted by the GOP and the Koch Brothers. The protestors are arguing against a financial industry that is based on destructive speculation, gouging and government backing in which profits are privatized and loses are socialized. If people remember what the Tea Party stood for in the early days, it was a rebellion against TARP which was promoted by the GOP and continued by Obama. The biggest tragedy was the lack of convictions of those who ran many of the banks and the fact that banks were (and under current GOP and some Democratic support) were allowed to be to big to fail. Stockholders need to loose everything when a bank fails… that will make things safer in the future. For example, the first Wall Street bailout (under Bush) has been agreed to by conservative and liberal economists as making things worse. Tea Party members should remember what they were against before they were made into a GOP captive organization. Ron Paul still gets it.

All these protesters are just like the fundamental Muslim terrorists – they have no objection to living in dirt, care nothing about anyone else’s desires or accomplishments and are deluded enough to think that they’re doing something right. Idiocy.

Just because they’re incapable of succeeding or living a normal life, they want to pull everyone who has down to their level.

Joseph Lenin called these flea baggers “useful idiots”. The majority of these 20 somethings sit around playing bucket drums, or playing hacky sack all awhile, 99% of them could not formulate a coherent sentence as to the reason for their protest. Now that union thugs have chimed in, for the purpose of representing the “working class”, the drive-by media has all the legitimacy to call this gang of misfits a legitimate counter to the Tea Party.

It seems to me that the protesters are a hodge podge of idle individuals who enjoy protesting as much as they are concerned about the issues at hand. That being said I agree that corporations in the US have co-opted lawmakers to come up with ways to increase their wealth at the expense of the population of the country. This is the evil that must be contended with. Both Dems and Repubs are co-opted and therefore are not acknowledging the problem. Tea Partyers and occupiers are both able to see the problem with great clarity because the declining income of the population has put great stress on many.

America is dead. This is all by design.What ever greed Wall street has is nothing compared to the immoral idiocy of these protesters. Lets protest the sin of another by displaying the other 6 deadly sins. That’l show’em.

There’s just such a strange disconnect. There are the problems as they’ve been created over time. There are the causes of those problems. There are solutions to those problems. To see what is going on in this country,both politically and socially. I must conclude that the goal of solutions being acted and enacted is to overthrow this country Not fix the problem.

Disgusting dirty dogs, leaving human waste, tying up traffic, acting like pigs, deficating on police cars, I hear you’re getting paid by wacky socialists and unions.

Get out of my city!!!!

Give me a high pressure pumper fire truck and I’ll be more that glad to “clean” the park and all surrounding areas of all the vermine and crap, and I’ll do it for FREE!!!!

Evil of me, I admit, but if some horrible contagious disease ripped through all that filthy rabble and knocked down their numbers by about 50%, I doubt that I’d feel sad.

My only concern would be keeping the cooties where they’d do the most good and not sicken innocent people.

If we just ignore the little slackers maybe they will just meander off. These fleabaggers have no coherent message or statement, so just ignore them. I’m sure they will throw a tantrum and then they can be arrested. Make them clean up the mess as punishment.
