Well, Bill O'Reilly and Hannity eg, repeatedly made such statements about OWS. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #10
'fear of ows' HappyMe Jul 2012 #14
Yeah, why fear an organization that coined the phrase '99%' Zalatix Jul 2012 #17
Good question. HappyMe Jul 2012 #19
The media utterly ignores it now. Except to put up phony stories Zalatix Jul 2012 #21
I haven't ever seen that. HappyMe Jul 2012 #22
It started with this. Zalatix Jul 2012 #24
Well that's obvious! sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #27

Yes, fear. Wall Street's Mayor, Bloomberg expressed that fear by sending out his 'private army' sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #18
Okay. HappyMe Jul 2012 #20
Bill O'Reilly isn't posting here, but..... Zalatix Jul 2012 #16
Interesting. That has been another benefit of OWS though. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #26
And this guy is STILL attacking Occupy in that thread. Zalatix Jul 2012 #60
No, I do not agree. sinkingfeeling Jul 2012 #12
Does anyone think Obama's attacks on Bain would have near the traction they do coalition_unwilling Jul 2012 #15
We need much more Occupy.. ananda Jul 2012 #25
We have a lot of Occupy activity. The media is ignoring them, except to defame them. Zalatix Jul 2012 #29
Sorry but that is the most hilarious suggestion I've seen. randome Jul 2012 #30
I look askance at people who purport to speak for Occupy, who lecture about what Occupy is or isn't, MADem Jul 2012 #34
I don't understand what the problem is then. HappyMe Jul 2012 #40
I can't argue with that at all. There are some people who desire that Occupy be the alter-ego MADem Jul 2012 #49
The message of OWS was clear. Get the money that has corrupted our political system, out of politics sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #56
I've got to be honest with you--that was not the primary message I heard. MADem Jul 2012 #64
You completely misunderstood the entire movement then. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #65
Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa is nominally a Democrat. Didn't stop coalition_unwilling Jul 2012 #42
I could never see myself voting for Tony Villar either. n/t cherokeeprogressive Jul 2012 #53
Tony Villainosa? Zalatix Jul 2012 #59
Has nothing to do with whether OWS is relevant today. randome Jul 2012 #28
I thought you thought OWS was 'irrelevant' and not worthy of your time? sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #69
And you use that ROFL icon endlessly. randome Jul 2012 #70
It's in honor of Sid. He loves the little roly poly guy sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #71
So is that the OWS plan now? Divide and conquer? randome Jul 2012 #72
I don't know, is that what you are trying to do? sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #81
Of course I think that Obama's attacks on Bain Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #31
Well, the problem is that this is all hypothetical. My feeling is that Occupy coalition_unwilling Jul 2012 #43
Thank you Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #48
I don't think it's wishful thinking, and I believe it helped to define what the election is about. Voice for Peace Jul 2012 #98
Sorry, but of course the Bain thing HappyMe Jul 2012 #33

I don't agree, no-- but I'd bet you $10 that whichever Third Way asshole it was who said that Marr Jul 2012 #38
Lol, exactly. They all say the same thing when supposedly 'coming from the 'left'. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #89

If Obama wins reelection it will be due in no small part to the Occupy movement - It is OWS more Douglas Carpenter Jul 2012 #62
Nonsense. Occupy has changed a lot. People know they have power now. limpyhobbler Jul 2012 #63
If that were true... The Midway Rebel Jul 2012 #66

Yeh....obviously, Zorra Jul 2012 #78
OP OP OP OP!!! Zalatix Jul 2012 #77
Will do. Zorra Jul 2012 #79
There is a reason the Occupy forum was created. randome Jul 2012 #80
Did you alert? nt Zorra Jul 2012 #83
I never alert. I never ignore. randome Jul 2012 #85
Yeah, me too, pretty much. Zorra Jul 2012 #86
So we have something in common, then! randome Jul 2012 #87
What was that reason, that the Occupy Forum was created? sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #90
Are you saying it was my idea? randome Jul 2012 #92

You seem to have trouble with math skills. randome Jul 2012 #105
No problem with numbers at all. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #107
'Anti-social justice'. Really. randome Jul 2012 #110
You've already been proven wrong. No need to wait until sometime in the future. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #116
You did not provide numbers of OWS' 'growing popularity'. randome Jul 2012 #119
Yes, that's how things look to YOU. Zalatix Jul 2012 #122
Excellent post. Should be an OP. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #94
Thanks for introducing the perfectly accurate term for this phenomenon: Anti-Social Justice Movement Zorra Jul 2012 #96
said that here? they should be served pizza. spanone Jul 2012 #75
Yes, they should if they are spewing rightwing talking points like that here. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #91

Again the point is lost on you. Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #133
When did anyone make the claims you are making? sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #142
The claim is made Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #145
And since OWS never said the 'started the conversation', all your posts in this thread are sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #146
Who made the claim about 'starting the conversation'? Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #148
Sigh, I wasn't aware that for some people it is necessary to spell out every word. sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #150
No, it isn't necessary to spell out every word. Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #152

Occupy is on a hiatus until after the election in my view. JDPriestly Jul 2012 #121
Occupy is about more than reclaming once-public space. Fire Walk With Me Jul 2012 #126
