A lot of fucking stupid lazy bitches in colleges getting worthless degrees.

Then again there are some, like me, who are gainfully rewarded for smart decisions.

self righteous entitlement.

I really have to disagree with that. In today's world, money means having political power creating a huge imbalance. A desire to bring this country back to a better balance is hardly the same thing as jealous, envy or self-righteous entitlement.

I didn't know the 99% were marching for entitlement. I thought it was more about bailing out crooked banks and punishing everyone else. Other things yes but essentially the protests are about our elected officials doing the 1%'s will because they are being bought.

In a coordinated effort called “Shut Down Wall Street on the Waterfront,” the Occupy demonstrators in a host of cities, including Portland, San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Tacoma and Seattle, are marching on the ports and attempting to shut down the docks in a show of opposition to corporate profits.

You are absolutely correct! I would stand in line, 5th even, protesting with you to resolve the imbalance of power.

However, you and I are talking two separate issues initially. And that is the fundamental problem with OWS AND 99%ers Neither group separately or collectively has a unified protest platform. And the issue you speak about is NOT the front line protest. Look at the protesters shutting down ports. Or the idiot college kids protesting and getting watered.

Fortunately for me I can vilify them (OWS & 99%ers) because they don't have a unified protesting platform. And I will say that 99% of the 99%ers are lazy leaches that are motivated by envy, jealousy and out of self righteous entitlement.

As I stated I am 1% of the 99% that are not sitting around waiting for a hand out or gov't cheese or Socialism to steal my country more then it has. So was the soldier in the image I posted. And so are the hard working people tired of having their lives interfered with and hindered by the rich AND the poor.

Personally, I'd rather be part of a grass-roots effort that is not yet coordinated, and may never be, but who are protesting from their own experience and ideals

While I disagree with a lot of what you have to say, the lack of a leader with a single message proves that George Soros is not behind this...as many on the Far Right claim. However, the single-message of the Tea Party protesters supports the notion that the Koch Bros. were behind that movement. Personally, I'd rather be part of a grass-roots effort that is not yet coordinated, and may never be, but who are protesting from their own experience and ideals than sheeple doing the bidding of some 1%ers who just want more for themselves and want others to do all the work for them. But that's me. YMMV.

The Tea Party has been less visible when it comes to the 2012 elections, with many questioning whether it wields the same kind of influence it once did. There have been no rallies in Washington, D.C., recently and the movement has been overshadowed by the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, the top two contenders for the GOP nomination, have both supported policies on health care reform and economic issues that go against the very core principles of the Tea Party movement.

There’s also little unity within the movement. Though some Tea Party leaders have endorsed Gingrich, saying that there’s no perfect candidate, one of the movement’s shining stars, Sen. Rand Paul, today warned that doing so could crumble the movement.

There are some interesting statistics out there about the Tea Party but the following ABC News story really hit's at their relevance. story

Stash, send me an PM if you need a new keyboard and/or monitor due to drink spewage at the hilarity of you ever trusting Glen Beck "News" reporting.

And what you just did by lumping the Kosh Brothers and calling TEA-Party activists sheeple is what I do to Occumoron and 99%ers. Just like Beavis and Stash and that lil bity old lady who got inducted into the GHDemocrat hall of fame does by calling people like me "TeaBaggers". Vilify the movements that we disagree with.

However, the TEA-Party was around long before Kosh and Palin and those co-opted it. Just like the Original kids that well, Occupied Wallstreet by acually Occupying Wallstreet were the originals and their movement has been hijacked.

When the masses move in the message gets diluted. Vilification becomes easier.

Not vilifying anybody. Just stating the facts as I see 'em. When a movement is actually whipped up via a crazy TV host, it's not a grassroots movement.

You trust the "statistics" of the liberal media outlet ABC News to be reported accurately towards a conservative grass root movement?

I would certainly be interested in you giving a more detailed account of your version of events as we are certainly remembering things differently. So when did it start? What was the original point? How did it gain momentum? Yada yada.
