Occupy Wall Street

Hey, Protesters: What About Solyndra?

"If the Wall Street protesters are really mad about taxpayers subsidizing millionaires and billionaires, than they should bring the house down on the Obama administration for subsidizing a risky investment made by a billionaire friend of the president. But so far we haven't heard a peep from the protesters about it.
Time to speak up and shout out, or shut up and go home."

A ginned-up non-controversy by a desperate Faux News?

Yawn. Here, read this for the real non-story facts: http://thinkprogress.org/romm/2011/0...oan-guarantee/

Our major media is incompetent and lazy. Last night on Channel 18 NBC here in Lexington, 11:00 news, they had a story about "Busy day in Occupy Wall Street", then talked about 500 protesters were arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge, and they showed the video from NBC affiliate files for that. Um ... that happened 2 weeks ago. That is how grossly incompetent the media is. One of the lead stories was completely false (on a day when OWS went international, no less, and there were riots overseas associated with it)

Occupy Wall Street is a movement being covered in depth on YouTube, in blog sites like Daily Kos, on Twitter and Facebook, and then accurately and thoroughly in NON-AMERICAN media like Al Jazeera and Russian Television.

American Media Sucks, and they are really unhappy this OWS thing has gone around them, and doesn't need them to "frame a story" and tell the sheep what to think.

I love it when you get saucy,Rita.

clyde · #4 10-16-2011, 07:34 PM

Oh Rita.....can you describe he type of undergarments you wear?

Do you prefer they are made of aluminum or Kevlar for strength,yet keeping weight to a minimum?

clyde · #5 10-16-2011, 07:39 PM

Just one more question,Rita?

When your undergarments have lived their useful life...do you fashion them into main sails for tall ships as a source of income?

clyde · #6 10-16-2011, 07:49 PM

Rita?

Ya there?

Anyhoo, don't know if you knew...but I was filming from behind you at Mickey D's the other day when EasyBake was debating you.

It’s a shame that on the day the MLK statue was unveiled the lead story on news stations here was coverage of the couple thousand camped out in a park singing woe is me.

The fact we have a sitting President and a leading candidate from the opposing party who are both African American and how far we've come since segregated fountains/schools etc. would have made for a great story. Sad that opportunity was missed. At least MLK must be looking down with a smile on his face.

It's sad people have a problem with protesting wall street and the government.

Sad many of those protesters don't realize or can't deal with the fact the sitting President has spent $100's of billions if not trillions bailing out Wall Street, well not all of Wall Street just the losers, under the guise supporting failure would produce jobs. Even going so far as saying SOME of Wall Street 'is too big to fail'

And move their protest to publicly owned land, say the White House lawn.

the last president bailed out the banks and wall street, just an FYI. Eventhough Congressman Obama and all the dems and republicans backed the idea.

Obama's stimulus was different, and in my opinion, worse.

and why do you think the protesters are liberal? A lot of what they protest is also similar to the tea party goals.

I think Bush's bailout was worse as it opened the door for Obama's. I don't think all the protesters are liberal but think the majority are and I certainly agree with them on several points, bailouts being one of them. Camping in a park isn’t going to change anything much less anything in Washington or on Wall Street. 99% of the rest of America, including me, not protesting but working doesn’t owe them a damn thing. They need to personally get involved in their chosen issue. If it be feeding the poor, join a soup kitchen. If it be healthcare for all, go to school and donate your services. If it be the free enterprise system, get involved in the socialist or communist parties. Live and let live. And if you can't deal with that pitch a tent in a national park and fire up a joint. Oops forget that last suggestion as there are government regulations against that.

Seriously? I can't believe you just said that. The WS bailout is the main thing OWS is all about. And you say "they don't realize"? Of course they realize. It's what they are protesting. It's why they are occupying.

Duh.

The OWS crowd is not "pro-Dem", or "pro-Obama". It is not tied to one political party.

Dell: I beg of you, watch a news show, read a newspaper. I have no idea where you get your "news", but it's obviously located under a very heavy rock. Please stop posting about things you are completely clueless about. It's sad to watch. Every single one of those OWS protesters know more about our government and what's happening in this country than you do.

For god's sake, those protesters have been protesting for a month now, protesting the Wall Street bailouts, and you come on here and say they are unawares of it?

Geeshus.

Seriously?

After yesterday, when protests over same were not only in 165 cities in America, but across the world, with riots in Europe?

That's exactly what they are doing.

God help this country. Coach is right.

How many registered republicans, like you are there protesting? You may just be part of the tenth of the one percenters and I'm so appreciative of that. BTW How's that Nazi and Communist parties joining the protest going? Heard Obama gave a shout out to them!
