hey, looks like it cuts both ways. looks like basso is having a good time, guess "darling organic movements" are only cool if they're violent, threaten the president, and have barely veiled racism as a tactic.

I feel sorry for the guard because he probably doesn't have health care and maybe never had an opportunity to get an education and is part of a working class that has been increasingly marginalized by Republicans over the last 30 years.
He works for the Smithsonian (funded/run by the US government). He has health care (or at least it's being offered to him). How do you know about his education opportunities?
Yeah, "offered" to him. I have a friend who gets offered health care for four at $1,200 a month. It's a good chance he's a security guard because he doesn't have an education. What do you think, he's an MIT grad?
It's interesting to see you defend Tea Party candidates for participating in Nazi re-enactments, and interjecting when Tea Party people are stomping on a woman's face, but you get yourself all worried because OWS is "pushing" security guards, and getting pepper sprayed as a result. If OWS brought guns to a rally, and threatened to "renew the tree of capitalism with the blood of financiers", would that get you to support them?
Oh okay, please enlighten me on the reasons why young black men don't get an education. We might be getting somewhere.
If you're so anti-huge-greedy-corporations, maybe you should occupy the Fed instead. Private, centralized bank with a monopoly over the currency.
sure they are Editor admits to ‘infiltrating’ D.C. protest to undermine ‘Occupy’ movement An assistant editor for the conservative magazine The American Spectator admitted in print Saturday to infiltrating an antiwar protest in Washington, D.C. in hopes of undermining the “Occupy” movement. Patrick Howley — “for journalistic purposes” — was one of the antiwar protesters who clashed with security staff at The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum on Saturday, leading to one arrest and numerous people being pepper-sprayed.
Did you notice that every security guard in that video is black? I'm guessing the executive staff at the Smithsonian isn't quite the same. Why do you think that is?
The Garofalo poster is right. But first you have to take the narrative, then the vote, then reform the the Supreme Court or get a Constitutional amendment, then pass your business reforms. This is the journey of maybe a decade taking it's first step. Why? Why wouldn't teabaggers get on board a campaign finance reform platform? Don't they think they have a silent majority, too? (or are they being successfully herded)
