This movement has been co-opted. Perhaps, that's what the bridge arrests was all about. Regardless, I am now in support of real liberals and conservatives descending on the area like ants to spilled honey. Reclaim the united message and take not just Wall Street but, also, the Federal Reserve of New York.
Agreed! They are talking about that on Twitter, as well as some other group starting an "Invade Wall Street" organization....which Occupy does NOT endorse or affiliate with. Occupy is about non-violent protests, as American citizens. Some believe the members of InvadeWallStreet are government and banker sock-puppets, sent in to destabilize the movement. I certainly wouldn't put it past the crooks in power. They will try everything they can to stop this affront to their power-hold over America, and the minds of its people.
FAUXNews has already started attacking them, ignoring that Tea Party and Republican members are just as much a part of it. Menawhile, The Left is trying to co-opt it for their own agenda. The Powers That Be need to paint this as a Left/Right, Either/Or thing. That way, people can take sides, be assured by their preferred media they are correct, and then turned on each other to fight for the distraction of humanity, and the amusements of our capitalistic overlords...
That about sums it all up...
It's not accurate to say the Tea Party is a part of it. There are small representative elements from across the political spectrum, none of whom collectively give a cohesive message, and basically all reinterpret the Wall Street protest to represent whatever they want it to mean, in contradiction to what other groups at the protest say it means.
But the dominant strain of opinion there is the hippie/leftist/class warfare socialist crowd, who say they hate capitalism and want to destroy America as we know it.
And however you want to spin it, that's the message of the Communist Party USA crowd, the William Ayers crowd, the Ward Churchill crowd, and the ACORN, SEIU and other hard-Left crowd. These people don't want to fix America, they want to destroy it.
And you're cheering for them?!?
The Tea Party are the ones who want to restore a Constitutional government that is fiscally responsible, and responds to the will of the people.
Not these protestors, who if they have a lucid thought among them, want to destroy free market capitalism and replace it with an authoritarian state, central planning and income redistribution. (i.e., "in order to save America, we have to destroy it.")
