Re: “Concrete Activists”
Buzz of course read more into my post than was actually there. It was never indicated or implied that Obama controls OWS, it was written that MoveOn.org, who backed Obama, formed and put in place the ocuppy movement, this fact is undisputed, just look up the history of occupy. It is also undisputed that the polictical machine behind MoveOn.org had a big hand in putting Obama in office and is working very hard to keep him there. It is no coincidence that the war protestors are now dwarfed by occupy and that the Tea Party protestors no longer come out to fight big government spending and growth as the occupiers "occupy" their former protest locations and hostility breaks out if they meet. Now the attention of the America news media has shifted away from this adminstration spending and increasing debt and tried to put our attention on big businesses greed. However, none of this will matter any longer if Obama can be re-elected which is why the occupy movement will fade away a few months after such re-election, if it occurs.
Re: “Concrete Activists”
Don't tell the occupiers but MoveOn.org, who backed Obama, put the occupiers in place to "occupy" the grounds where the Tea Party protestors and anti-war protestors once stood. The political machine of Obama is keeping the attention away from him and the war and focusing it on the mean and greedy big business to promote class warfare. If Obama wins, you will see the end of occupy within months as it will have served it's purpose. The 99% are just pawns and fall right into place when asked to do so.
Re: “Concrete Activists”
That is exactly right. One of the leaders of the Tea Party movement was interviewed on MSNBC just a couple weeks ago and stated they have been waiting for the occupy movement to die down before resuming their protests. Several weeks before that, according to a CNN news report, a group of Tea Party activists in the South had to end their protest early when the occupiers who were already present began taunting them and trying to insight violence. Buzz, instead of coming back with more snide remarks, try doing a little research. I am on neither side, just an observer, and therefore I can see how blinded the followers are and how they dismiss any opposing argument.
