They aren't there to spur the economy. They are there to disrupt the status quo and make their voices heard...and its working...and they are growing...and the faux outrage of the tea party is losing steam by the day.

...and its great to watch them grow stronger in the context of voicing real problems while the tea party grows weaker in the context of whatever their latest BS conspiracy theory is.


So blocking the Oakland docks is appropriate? Ows has the right to disrupt other people's lives and their opportunity to make a living just because they think they are right?

Growing stronger? With the exception of Oakland which is it's own freak show most of these protests are only a few hundred people.

I asked this before - what is their message?

Yes its approprioatte. And yes, the point of protest is to disrupt lives and force people to take notice. That would be the whole point. Hello.

The core message is a protest against a system that is corrupted by special interest money and that governs for those interests instead of those of the people. Its a great deal more appealing than the birther conspiracy at the center of the tea party which is why this movement is more popular.

Disrupting other people's lives, preventing them from working, defacing and destroying other people's property is illegal and if the bloomberg had any guts he would have them arrested

Then they should be protesting at the white house because owebama has taken loads of money from special interest groups and lobbyists and connected political donors

Favorability polls for this is now at minus 9 and dropping. You are really hung up on the birth certificate issue; time to move on
