Tea Party's Most Offensive & Racist Signs - YouTube

So the lady in a wig charges RP and people are supose to do nothing? Didn't we have a politician attacked an almost killed not so long ago. Yea, maybe the guy should have pushed down on her but that was far from a stomp. I'm sure there were some racist that joined in the TP but to say it was every single one of them is just stupid and a lie.

Unfortunately there were some racist that showed up to tea party events and said some dumb and bigoted stuff, however the core of the tea party was pretty quick to kick those type of people out. Most people in this thread have been ignoring the very present raciest side of OWS protests because like tea party it too seems to only represent a very small faction of protesters. So theres really no need to post a racist picture of a OWS protester for every racist picture of a tea party protester. Both represent the few stupid people in the respective groups.

While rapists and murderers also may not represent the OWS movement as a whole the severity of these offense is so great I think its wrong to ignore them or the overall crime element at these protests. I think this makes for great thought:

Over 2,400 Tea Partiers Arrested

Why is there such a double standard for OWS vs Tea Party protests?

Also at OWS Philly another rape occured. This time a 50 year old man has been accussed of raping a 23 year old women. Fortunately the women reported him and he is in police custody.

This is what happens when you allow people to just come and park their ass in the middle of a city in tents. I would guess that 99% of these people only are looking for change but their method is poor and draws the wrong crowd.

Wow.....nice list.
Are they actually serious?

The NYC OWS protestors got cleared out.

AW,

It says that content was user submitted and not an official list. Clearly whoever typed that up is a freaking idiot.

Alvin Walton · 11-15-2011, 12:55 PM

Right, user submitted.
I should have read that a bit closer.

It is almost as idiotic as proposals by GOP front runners to close down commerce/energy/education departments and EPA/FDA, lower taxes, stop foreign aid, increase defense spending, lower the national debt and balance the budget.

For some reality is an escape.

Me and Daseal wanted to go check out the local OWS rally, so we took our Ferraris for a spin...

firstdown · 11-15-2011, 02:09 PM

The Norfolk & Va Beach OMS got together this weekend and they were about 10 people strong. Excecpt 2 were people who stoped to listen for a minute or two, 3 homeless people who live there, and 5 OWS people smoking a blunt.

This is a pretty funny read. It the minutes of a 3 hour meeting they had and got nothing done. It ends with the secretary getting up and just leaving.

Demands | Forum | Minutes of 4th Demands Working Group meeting | NYC General Assembly # Occupy Wall Street

Here is the last minutes of the meeting:

[At this point the police again intervene in the meeting. Facilitators come and do, old ones replace new ones who replaced old ones as we’re threatened with eviction from the space. The group, which has dwindled to half the size it was at 7:15 pm descends into fighting and chaos with nobody in charge and no minutes to keep. I stick around for another 10 or 15 minutes to try and figure out a way to keeping track of what’s happening, but cannot. The fighting and madness continues for at least 10 minutes when I inform facilitation that have to leave.

I also have to ask why they have to have their meetings in the street. Don't they know you can get a library card and they have meeting rooms you can reserve. Oh, maybe you have to have an actual adress to get a library card

the daily show showed their meetings in the deutsche bank lobby... what an odd place for OWS to meet.

Was that a meeting or the protest they are having today?
