2. I'm half a globe away, and I haven't been keeping up.
Are the tea baggers on the banksters' side? RW rednecks support giving their money away to Wall Street?
The "Joe 6-pack" RWers support the financial bailouts, really? I'm just kind of at a loss to understand the thought process, if you can call it that...

And no, I'm not going to go to the link. I'll take your word for it.

3. Fascist Rule # 7; Corporate Power Protected
Yes, the Plutocracy has brainwashed half of Americans into protecting corporate power. Sad but true.

12. According to some at the protest, there were/are Tea Party members there
but the Tea party is as amorphous as OccupyWS, it is just that the filtering of the MSM makes the TP look unified.

13. The Tea Party is a fake "grassroots" movement funded by the Koch Bros.

There are undoubtedly individual true believers that don't understand that they've been had.

14. Yes, the tea party is astroturf, funded by the Kochs. Thanks for spreading the word!
But nonetheless, how brainless can a teabagger possibly be?
Maybe sometimes I underestimate the depths of unexamined, knee-jerk stupidity.
I think my dog is smarter than that, but it's too bad he doesn't care about politics.

8. I'm on the frontlines
I spend most of my on-line time in the hornet's nests to keep track of their thoughts and plans.

9. OK, I'll accept that. But you might want to make it clearer...
in your posts. That way cranky old lefties like me won't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

6. Day?
They're into their eleventh day and there's no indication that the occupation will end any time soon.

7. All of these desperate attempts to marginalize Occupy Wall Street are proof positive.....

...... that it is indeed working, and irking the incredibly thin-skinned and insecure defenders of the failed status quo.
