ok. its impossible to do anything about the past but lets see what happens to the "present" when the Tea Party starts kickin up again. i wanna see your stance then, and i hope its not all race based. yet, i know it will be. if not with you, then these kids on here will say its racist. its all hypocracy and contradictory. that lessens the value of ones opinion and shows they want us all to unite only when "they" think they're right, and severly talk shit when they dont agree. thats the problem i have with this specific movement.
this country needs to change, but these people are going after the wrong people. im not sayin Wall St aint fucked, but they cant be fucked with out DC letting them fuck us over. YES! the time is now. but NONE of these fuckin protests are getting to the core. because the core of the protestors are left. why cant you see that? thats what de-values their stance to me. yes, protest, but just cus you protest cus you have the constitutional right, that doesnt make you right.
like i said, hopefully Romney or Cain can win next year so these protestors wont be scared to protest the real mothafuckin problem. Capitol Hill. when that happens, i will do my part locally.

And, I personally don't believe the stand the article makes about it's just the Republican candidates doing it. It involves all of the big players vying for the White House. Corporatism is the biggest problem here in the US.
i dont see what that has to do with what was highlighted. you reading it like a liberal. i said i hope Romney or Cain wins so the protestors wont be afraid (at that time) to occupy Capitol Hill. the core's messiah is in there right now, they aint gonna bite the hand that feeds'em.
and your right about the article saying its only republicans. especially when they type: "As he did in 2008, Obama has made a point of refusing to accept donations from lobbyists or corporate PACs, and his campaign has repeatedly portrayed Republicans as beholden to Wall Street and other well-funded interests."
...yet the truth is disagrees.

Hackers target Oakland police after Occupy protest
As Occupy Wall Street protesters continued to rally in Oakland, Calif., hackers today targeted the Web site for the city's police department and offered a $1,000 reward for information on police action that appears to have left a protester injured.
Contact information, schedules, badge numbers, and other information about Oakland Police Department officers was posted to a public Pastebin page. Meanwhile, the department's Web site also was down temporarily this morning, according to SC Magazine.
"The time has come to retaliate against Oakland police via all non-violent means, beginning with doxing (releasing of documents and data) of individual officers and particularly higher-ups involved in the department's conduct of late," a statement on the Pastebin page said.
Asked for comment, Oakland Police Department spokeswoman Johnna Watson told CNET that the department was looking into the matter.
A peaceful demonstration in downtown Oakland turned violent on Tuesday night when Oakland police fired rubber bullets and threw flash grenades into the crowd. Scott Olsen, a 24-year-old former Marine and antiwar activist, was knocked to the ground after an officer threw something that hit him in the head. As other protesters flocked to help him, an officer can be seen in this video tossing what appeared to be a flash grenade into the group, followed by a loud bang and smoke.
It remained unclear exactly what happened and who was involved. Watson said there were no updates.
"It is still under investigation and we have multiple agencies on board with the investigation, including internal affairs," she said. "We want this to be an open investigation."
Olsen's condition had been upgraded to fair from serious this morning, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Hospital representatives could not be reached for comment by CNET.
"A protester who did two tours in Iraq is in critical condition with fractured skull and brain injury after a cop shot him in the head with a "non-lethal" weapon," the Pastebin statement said. "A crowd of protesters were deliberately hit with a flashbang while rendering first aid to an injured protester."
"I'm offering a $1,000 reward, no questions asked, for the name of the officer who threw a flashbang at the injured Iraqi vet," the statement added. It included links to other Pastebin pages with Oakland police phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other information.
The videos and photos of protesters being arrested, hit with batons, rubber bullets and tear gas, have provoked public outrage and prompted protesters to call for a general strike on November 2 as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The police response to the protests also has galvanized hackers whose support for the cause have prompted the label "hacktivists."
Hackers have targeted their actions against a handful of bankers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and a New York police officer who was videotaped spraying pepper spray into protesters' faces. And they are threatening to take down the Web site of Fox News over its coverage of the protests.
The Occupy Wall Street campaign, which began in New York on September 17 to protest social and economic inequality and corporate greed, has spread to numerous cities in the U.S. and other countries. It was modeled on the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East in its heavy use of social media and tactic of occupying public spaces.

your still reading it like your hugging a tree too tight. no one said Romney or Cain will change ANYTHING. for the third time...if a republican wins the seat, the protestors will have nothing holding them back from protesting Capitol Hill. for some reason your not understanding that part. the king resides in that bitch and they will not spit on his presidency. they will mos def spit on a republicans presidency. cool. im for it.
for those who think DC doesnt have the power or this doesnt have a political back bone, there really aint nothin for us to discuss back and fourth.
even left leaning LA Times called Occupy Wall Street the liberals answer to the Tea Party. but if you back this movement then i understand why all that would fly over your head.
sayin DC dont have the power is a joke. if your beholden to a corporation, thats cus you accepted the terms and agreements to accepting their generous donation.
