So, now everytime there is a demonstration of any kind anywhere in the US.............. George II Jan 2013 #17
Is that a problem? FailureToCommunicate Jan 2013 #23
Bravo! Fire Walk With Me Jan 2013 #39
A more appropriate name for the protest would be 'Justice For...' Um, whatever her name is. randome Jan 2013 #26
oh, azureblue Jan 2013 #31
Good point. randome Jan 2013 #38
It conveys that the powers that be in Stubenville wanted to sweep a heinous crime under the rug. bettyellen Jan 2013 #55
Which is why I said it was a good point to have pointed that out to me. randome Jan 2013 #61
Maybe you guys should do some research before spouting??? George II Jan 2013 #109
Um. I know all that. Why all the rape apologist spamming here? I'm embarrassed for you. bettyellen Jan 2013 #119
How can I be considered a "rape apologist"??? George II Jan 2013 #122
Maybe you should do some research before telling us to do some research Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #120
Read the post to which I responded, okay? George II Jan 2013 #123
I did read it, maybe you should read it Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #135
LOL. I understood it without any context right away. n/t Downtown Hound Jan 2013 #56
Amazing that anyone thinks an idea they fart out thoughtlessly is smarter than the Occupy movement. bettyellen Jan 2013 #67
You do know what 'IMO' stands for, right? randome Jan 2013 #79
humble opinion = fleeting thought you reject as soon as it's analyzed here? why bother posting? bettyellen Jan 2013 #80
That everybody has an asshole? tama Jan 2013 #84
Oh, a tag team now, huh? randome Jan 2013 #86
i actually think the OP had it wrong because the protest had been scheduled for tomorrow. bettyellen Jan 2013 #87
I'm glad someone answered my question. Thanks for that. randome Jan 2013 #89
It's only because you are obviously wishing the protest ill, that we seem to be at odds. bettyellen Jan 2013 #90
Here's a story link to a local station that also will be covering on-scene tomorrow: pinboy3niner Jan 2013 #91
But.......if you don't praise the sacred "Occupy movement" you're perceived on the opposite side.... George II Jan 2013 #146
What's "tag team"? tama Jan 2013 #88
One newspaper noted 800 - 1,000 protested Saturday suffragette Jan 2013 #171
I have no problem with support growing. Nor for keeping the pressure on the authorities. randome Jan 2013 #172
Occupy chose to support this and go suffragette Jan 2013 #177
And I see people who disagree tend to be those who have walked the walk, participated in protests bettyellen Jan 2013 #184
It's hard to marginalize people/movements when they keep rallying for rights and get noisy suffragette Jan 2013 #208
There IS no "Occupy movement", it's a hit and miss attention-getting stunt George II Jan 2013 #111

Trust me, Steubenville is well known now Tempest Jan 2013 #103
No fortunately. zeemike Jan 2013 #32
Who is 'they'? Anyone can say they are against the financial system. randome Jan 2013 #42
They is anyone who says they support Occupy movement or is in it. zeemike Jan 2013 #64
It's been 4 hours now. Has 'Occupy Steubenville' done anything? randome Jan 2013 #66
They turned my head Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #74
Anonymous leaked the video. Congratulations go out to them. randome Jan 2013 #78
You know that the local officials tried to cover it up, isn't that good reason to protest? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #81
and the local media has been lax in reporting this also. Another great reason to protest! bettyellen Jan 2013 #83
Totally false - the reports were in the newspapers when they heard about it. George II Jan 2013 #199
How have they tried to cover it up? George II Jan 2013 #162
You know the local police said they have no evidence before a blogger publicized the easy to find bettyellen Jan 2013 #166
Don't know what reports you were reading, but here is a newspaper article.......... George II Jan 2013 #198
you believe people involved in a coverup would say anything else? I doubt it. bettyellen Jan 2013 #201
That is the FOURTH insulting post from you, all just simple-minded one-liners with zero substance... George II Jan 2013 #207
Again the idiotic "rape apologist" insult since I dare to disagree.......... George II Jan 2013 #209

So I take it that................ George II Jan 2013 #173
Those who organize get to take credit for organizing Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #34
I did do something useful. randome Jan 2013 #41
Wow, what commitment you have Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #45
This isn't a contest. randome Jan 2013 #47
Hence your (at best) benign solution. LanternWaste Jan 2013 #72
You are right, there is absolutely no contest Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #73
Like what? George II Jan 2013 #112
All of the people who covered up the crime are still in positions of power Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #115
Covered up the crime? The two principles were arrested 11 days after it occurred.... George II Jan 2013 #154
The police admitted they had the video since the beginning Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #156
Typical...in other words, "my proof is there, now go find it"! George II Jan 2013 #163
No more like I don't have time to answer five essay questions from someone who won't listen Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #178
It would take about 60 seconds to post the links to the answers, just as I posted........ George II Jan 2013 #200
This link would answer many of your questions Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #203
Your nasty comment notwithstanding, I've seen that before and I have read through some of it.... George II Jan 2013 #204
There was nothing nasty about my comment Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #205
"Somehow I doubt you will take the time to study it though"? George II Jan 2013 #206
If nothing else, secondvariety Jan 2013 #133
Because it seems more like a celebration of 'Occupy' than anything else. randome Jan 2013 #134
You have a point... bvar22 Jan 2013 #49
A rape in Steubenville, as horrible as that is, has nothing to do with an 'oligarchy'. randome Jan 2013 #57
Oligarchy: powers that be in Stubenville were allowing this to happen because they are entrenched in bettyellen Jan 2013 #63
THEY DIDN'T "ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN"! The trial of the perpetrators is beginning in a few weeks...... George II Jan 2013 #114
you haven't read shit about this case, have you. LOL bettyellen Jan 2013 #116
When does the trial for the people who filmed the rape begin? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #117
Most likely shortly after they're identified. George II Jan 2013 #126
They already have been identified, they are on video. Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #136
Nah...actually, we just want to expose and annoy the phony progressive Third Way corporate ass Zorra Jan 2013 #51

So Occupy get's royalty payments for this? goodness. Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #94
Here's how "sincere" these organizers are.... George II Jan 2013 #127
Wow. randome Jan 2013 #132
Wow? you seriously think this is a valid criticism of Occupy? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #140
I suppose that's the point, isn't it? randome Jan 2013 #142
Only if you believe nearly all political organizing is an opportunistic social event. Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #148
I see your point but the Democratic Party is not out to protest a cover-up. randome Jan 2013 #149
The protest is front and center, do you honestly think they are promoting this as a big pizza party? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #150
You're right. No one suggested that until the Tweet was printed here. randome Jan 2013 #165
Yes, that is nit-picking. And pretty pitiful, too. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2013 #157
'Criticizing' equals 'despise'. Your own objectivity is sorely lacking. randome Jan 2013 #164
No, Occupy has made it all about them instead.... George II Jan 2013 #179
So you think it's proper to say.................... George II Jan 2013 #158
No that is not what they are saying at all, and you criticized me for lack of objectivity Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #160
So where is it then? George II Jan 2013 #161
Try Google Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #176
Maybe you should investigate whether Martin Luther King ever attended a barbecue Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #139
MLK never advertised free food and music to get people to the march, and......... George II Jan 2013 #141
I would be absolutely shocked if he never did that Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #145
So now you're comparing Obama's campaign events to this demonstration today? George II Jan 2013 #151
Yes I am, they are different organizations but they both involve organizing the community Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #152
Most advocacy groups offer refreshments at their organizing meetings loyalsister Jan 2013 #181
Exactly- DU had some serious parties in NYC and DC before and after protests, and they were GREAT. bettyellen Jan 2013 #192
Better than saying "Tea Party" if you ask me Taverner Jan 2013 #29
yes, not getting it either- what does this have to do with holding the banksters accountable? No Compromise Jan 2013 #35
Occupy is more than just holding the banksters accountable. SammyWinstonJack Jan 2013 #54
"Occupy" has no coordinated objective or strategy, just hit and miss tactics George II Jan 2013 #107
Occupy is about justice for the oppressed, and the Stubenville powers that be allow those jocks bettyellen Jan 2013 #58
You mean the jocks that have been arrested and charged, with more to possibly be arrested? George II Jan 2013 #108
feel sorry for the rapists? bettyellen Jan 2013 #113
WHO SAID THAT?? George II Jan 2013 #137
Yeah, just in the US. SammyWinstonJack Jan 2013 #53
It is if it gathers Occupy folks! Are you participating? nt Sarah Ibarruri Jan 2013 #69
Sorry, I can't make it today.......... George II Jan 2013 #110
So now you are comparing rape to getting a parking ticket? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #118
It has nothing to do with "rape", it has to do with self-serving public displays by "Occupy".... George II Jan 2013 #125
This case is about rape, the fact that you put quote marks around the word is very telling Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #138
I was pointing out the lunacy of all these ad hoc "Occupy" demonstrations, I never commented........ George II Jan 2013 #143
I will read your posts objectively when you write objective posts Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #147

wrong. the case would have gone nowhere without the activists. and not a relevant agenda? bettyellen Jan 2013 #174
'Occupy' had nothing to do with the video being released. randome Jan 2013 #175
Occupy activists? loyalsister Jan 2013 #180
you think activist groups shld " be supportive of situations without being so noisy"? HILARIOUS. bettyellen Jan 2013 #182
