The 10 Stupidest Objections to Occupy Wall Street (Cartoon)

[JackRiddler]

Zorra has posted this a couple of times but it's so funny and worthy of discussion it deserves its own thread.

How many of these have you heard? How do you respond?

[Huey P. Long]

1. Great cartoon.

[NYC_SKP]

2. "Why aren't these people at JOBS instead of protesting? Huh? Why not" Huh?"

OMG that one just nails nails it.

3. Sadly I've read most of these on DU, too.

4. Yep, I'm off to the park in my Smartwool socks, my Patagonia sweater, my North Face hat (etc.)

to take pictures with my Canon camera...

Any questions?

[RC]

9. Yeah,

Which Canon camera do you have and how do you like it? :evilgrin:

14. Stay warm

Me I need to go do some interviews. As soon that is as I get over the cold...I got soaked covering OWS.

5. I've heard pretty much all of them except 7 and 9.

I got taken to task by the assrockets in CC (apparently one of them created the original graphic ) for my thread relating to #3 (Hypocritz!!). What that means is that, since conservatives are completely incapable of defending the indefensible without sounding like a callous asshole, they instead just typically insulted someone they don't even know.

Even sadder is that we have to read several of these . . . HERE . . . particularly numbers 2, 6 and 10, begging for some "centrism".

6. The lack of a spokesperson is a criticism I've started seeing fairly often here at DU.

Frankly, it is up to a General Assembly of an Occupy Wall Street encampment to nominate one if they so desire.

7. You can tell when the talking points get issued. Its like a wave.

I say 'talking points' not accusing posters of conscious deployment (although that is a possibility), but they read it from whomever they follow, then dutifully repeat.

8. Like those idiotic right-wing chain emails that are constantly floating around. nt

11. agreed.

Last week's was about how effective the Tea Party because it went from activism (hilarious) to institutional action and elections. As if the "Tea Party" after about five minutes was ever anything other than the Republican election campaign of 2009-2010.

16. Yes, I've seen most of them here at points.
