Bryan Williams seemed disappointed tonight that he had to lead off with the ten year anniversary of the War in Afghanistan rather than “zee revolutionne”. I was half listening when the correspondent finished her coverage saying something like we hope it doesn’t escalate from rage to revolution. Oh puleeze!

The only person that made sense in that whole video was the homeless guy.

Amen, brother!

Seriously (maybe), near as I can tell, it’s a grab bag of the usual suspects:
- Marxists, organized or just mentally ill
- Anarchists, never organized
- Union organizers trying to organize the anarchists
- Truthers, from an alternate reality
- Paul supporters, from the other alternate reality
- Party animals, escaped from a zoo
- Exhibitionists performing for the national media
- Malcontents seeking validation
- Bernie Madoff victims
- Goldman Sachs employees without White House jobs
- White House operatives paying the bills
- Mentally ill (but I repeat myself)

“One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ‘Socialism’ and ‘Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ‘Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.”

–George Orwell, “The Road to Wigan Pier” (1937)

Daemonocracy – yes, I was just getting ready to say that! Blaze has the videos.

If y’all haven’t seen them – take a look. You’ll be left slack jawed.

[...] ’cause you want a movement doesn’t mean you get a movement. It’s a fake. For Friday fun Reason.tv visited Occupy Wall Street. The reason.tv video shows that the anti-Semite from a now notorious youtube has climbed the ranks [...]

That guy at 2:05 who interrupted the interview is the same guy who argued with that old man and called him a Jew in another video right?

Yo man, I been here a week and a half longer than you, I got this.

Anyone remember the SNL skit of the protest where they were trying to figure out what they were protesting.

Protest Leader: What do we want?
Protestor: To legalize porn!
Protest Leader: Sir, porn IS legal.
Protestor: Not the kind I like.

Well, I see they were crashed by the raging anti-Semite, “Lotion Man” (the more educated than the little man guy).

Angry kids that don’t know exactly why or who they are pissed about. They don’t want to admit their failure in voting for the president last go around. The best remedy for this “collective” is to have the private sector flood the market with jobs but their savior, Oblah-blah, is destroying their future. Unfortunately they are too young, or too stupid, or too proud to understand this…

My 19 year old gets it. He is holding down a job while going to school full-time to position himself for his future. In 5 years he will be much better off then these poor stooges…

“Get a job, Hippie!”

First things first, they all need a bath! After all it’s difficult to communicate with your potential employer during an interview when they are holding their noses and breath due to the stench!

The desperation of the Left is hilarious They are completely pathetic. You can see them salivating over the possibilities, but you can also see their irrelevancy. Old Aunt Bitty.

Among the boilerplate anti-capitalist rhetoric included a lifelong Democrat…

So… what are we talking – 17 years – or just the 1 year since he became self-aware of his political leanings?

To the girl that wanted free college tuition–you’ll get what you paid for. Please don’t squeeze the Charmin, or your diploma.

I’m glad they saved the smartest people for last–the four-year-olds dancing to the drums.

GD post office wants me to pay 47 bananas to get the pig to AT&T. I ran out of bananas yesterday. What’s the current exchange rate for oranges to bananas?

lorien1973 on October 7, 2011 at 1:21 PM

Exchange rate? Dude your talking apples and oranges.
