Occupy Needs a Spokesman

[kalm]

And Chris Hedges would be the one if he wasn't so frumpy.

The whole interview is a pretty good beat down of the CBC conk douchebag counterpart but for short attention spans, go to the 5 minute mark for a very concise explanation of what's wrong.

In your mind.

He's right Hen. Fucks like you are the problem.

And in the mind of a strong majority of Americans if you read the polls.

Feel free to try and poke some holes if you would like.

Honestly, I barely made it past 5:05 when he said the protestors were politically conservative.

Protesting monopolistic corporations that have purchased government to socialize their risks and kill competition.

I thought fascism was supposed to be the enterprise of pinko commie liberals.

Ain't labels a bitch!

You'll have to give us directions to the world you live in - it seems like a fascinating place that would be real interesting to visit. Meanwhile, in the world where the rest of us live...

...a majority of independents support banking reform and are opposed to crony capitalism.

A majority of everyone is in support of sensible banking reform and are opposed to all forms of crony anything. Are there people who are actually in favor of crony something? But the devil is in the details. We told banks that they can't make high risk loans with little money down and then we criticize them for not loaning money to people with bad credit histories and little cash up front. Details.

This movement is great at letting people vent their frustrations, and there are plenty of things to be frustrated about - it's a tough world out there. However, what it's not good at is letting people think that there is a simple answer out there that will make their lives easier without putting the effort in to make it easier. Life is tough and full of hardwork - get used to it. The sooner you realize that and get down to work the better. It's not sweat-shop days like the turn of the century either - there's plenty of fun to be had in life as well. But you still have to work hard at least 5 out of every 7 days.

A majority of people think life is tough, handwork is important, and work 5 out of every 7 days. In fact, the employment rate of the Occupy movement is close to the national rate.

Keep your mouth shut, do your work, and never question the establishment.

They just have more vacation and sick time saved up.

Not to be confused with the "Occupy Message Boards" movement.

Oh, I question the establishment. I just tend to use actual, specific details, and go after things of substance. I tend not to stand in a park and say "I'm questioning the establishment - not about anything specific, but I'm still questioning it. Now hey, stop stealing my iPad and btw, we need more bandwidth - someone get more servers out here - Facebook is really crawling this morning". Just saying.

It would probably be a mistake on their part, but they could probably use the witch (with a B) that got picked up at the Occupy Sacramento event: Cindy Sheehan.

They'd probably have to get past the fact that she's likely hijacking their protest to stage her own, thereby keeping her ugly mug in the news.

They don't need to "Occupy Wall Street," they need to "Occupy K Street..."

...and yes, they do have a spokesman. It is the "Divider in Chief;" you know, the guy who always preaches wealth envy from the steps of a bus and how those who pay the most by a wide margin don't "pay their fair share."

Great points. We have auctions not elections.

I think I also read somewhere that only 30% of the Occupy crowd self indentify as Democrats. Watch Obama use this opportunity to ramp up the class war rhetoric just in time for the election while continuing to solicit funds from Wall Street. Conk for the first three years and donk for the last. Might be a winning strategy though as the Republicans have already backed themselves into a corner on the protestor issue. Vote for Obama and the 99% or Romney and the 1%.

I need to drop a deuce. I'm gonna "Occupy A Stall".

Only 30% of registered Democrats identify themselves as Democrats when it comes to surveys when they want to appear neutral.

I nominate kalm to be the OWS spokesman. As long as he lives in a tent and picks up after himself.

No, what Occupy needs is this:
