Only that's not what the Tea Party did...The Tea Party was assimilated by the GOP, pushing it further to the right, alienating moderates and widening the gap across the aisle.

and OWS will be assimilated by the democrats in the next election. we will never have a viable third party.

People who will only voice their opinion by doing wiggly fingers are unlikely to be willing to enter a voting booth.

Or if they do, could accidently vote for the wrong candidate.

So... has anyone been taking pictures at any of the OWS protests? I've been to Philly twice this week and it's been really quiet both times. I was there Wednesday, when it was beautiful, and the place was deserted. I went again today, freezing out, and there were some people about, but not many.

This clip of the police pepper spraying peaceful sat down teenage demonstrators is fascinating.

This open letter to the Chanceller of the University is worth a read as well.

This is a good report on the paramilitary policing of Occupy Wall Street.

Possible response by the Financial Quarters?

This might evolve into a political issue yet.

"A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an $850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the protests"...[emphasis added]

Karl Rove is already doing this with ads aimed at discrediting Elizabeth Warren in her run for the Senate in Massachusetts.

How far right have we slid when a Harvard Law professor from Oklahoma is being portrayed as some sort of crazy lefty radical.

You're going to have your idiot's at any event of this type. That said, no normal parent would knowingly take their child into a dangerous situation.


This should be obvious. I'm not even sure why the video was posted in the first place.


For the purpose of discrediting a movement.


Well you were right. Not that it comes as any surprise.
