My question:

[originalpckelly]

Don't these people have to have a job before they can strike from it?

[TBF]

1. Thanks for your contribution from the right-wing playbook.

Noted.

[originalpckelly]

7. Yes, and they couldn't pick a better day than May 1, right?

Because, no one is going to associate that with communism, right?

[TBF]

14. You say that like communism is a bad thing.

Yes May 1st is worker's day - and it is a national holiday in 80 countries - but of course not here in capitalist paradise.

2. Don't rain on their parade!!!

What's the matter with you???

[Little Star]

3. This does not compute for me. What are you talking about? Who's these people?

[originalpckelly]

10. Everyone and no one.

These people?

Could be me, could be you, could be my dog as she thinks she's people.

[Little Star]

11. I never catch on. Just ignore me, I'm old, lol.

4. If I had to guess...

... I would say it is more like 70/30...

Maybe 80/20...

5. wow, a freeperish type joke on Du

I'm sure those lurking will appreciate it.

[originalpckelly]

9. Yeah...

Yes, dear, after all these years of posting here, having more posts than you do...I've turned to the darkside.

I'll admit it, I'm a Republican.
I'm voting for Mitt Romney, and for no other reason than I know I don't have to worry that he's a secret agent man for al-Queda. He's not from a foreign country on Earth. No, I'm pretty sure he's from a gated community on some planet in a galaxy far, far away.


I think we all know that I might even run for Congress on the Republican side.

I dyed my dog's hair red, just to show my support for the Republicans.

When someone asks me what I want at a restaurant, I start filibustering them, just to fuck with them and show that filibustering is the best thing ever. Something I think we know only a Republican would do.

I wear Republican shoes, and I wear the US flag on most of my clothes. It's sad, about the only time of year I can shop is right after the 4 of July at Wal-Mart.

So yes, I am a secret freeper. Jim Robinson is my hero, if it weren't an abomination, I'd probably blow him.

[RevStPatrick]

12. So you admit to being a Republican...

Not at all surprising, considering the tone of your original question!
That was something right off page 1 of the Freeper script.

[quinnox]

13. sorry, just not a fan of right wing humor

I don't find it funny. Whether you are a stealth freeper or not I don't know, all I know is the joke you made was very freeperish. They like to make fun of protesters a lot, and especially the occupy movement.

[canoeist52]

6. 70% of Occupiers are employed.

"70% of Occupy Wall Street participants are employed, taking the wind out of the argument that protestors are lazy, free-riding hippies with nothing else to do. Many of the movement’s most staunch supporters go protest and occupy AFTER WORK"

[originalpckelly]

8. Not anymore.

In Denver, it's not like that anymore. The people who are employed are not the ones sleeping on the sidewalk.

I'd agree with that early on, but not now.

[TBF]

15. And you have cites to back that up ...

[MineralMan]

16. People who are out of a job are still part of the labor force.

Only the right wing belittles people who can't find work. This is not a good OP you have written. Sorry, but it is not.

[mmonk]

17. Those that don't had one except for the students kept out currently.
