I have a friend on Facebook who just posted a picture that is half people with guns and it says Armed Tea Party rally under it with the words: No police, no batons, no pepper spray, and no nets. The other half says Unarmed Occupy Wall Street protest with a guy getting lifted by 4 cops and under the pic it says: riot police, bludgeoning tools, weaponized tear gas, and blockades.
Wow.
Oh and he also was saying how the Tea Party gets much better coverage than the Wall Street people.

I'm not sure what he is really trying to get at. I guess he thinks the cops are going up to the Wall Street people and harassing them for no reason and that they have to be peaceful people because they don't have weapons.FatHobbit;939866 wrote:Is he saying the occupy people need to be armed?

Some people like to espouse the idea that people carrying guns actually decreases the occurrence of violence.O-Trap;939951 wrote:What do you mean?
People having or not having guns on them isn't likely to be the main factor of whether or not a group is violent.
I wasn't disagreeing with you, merely adding something on. (Obviously in a very unclear way if you didn't understand it).

Not real sure what your friend is getting at. How do we know the authenticity of these photos?

These fools just don't get it. Their socialist utopia will go the way all others have throughout history. Wealth is controlled by the small ruling elite and what little is left is dolled out to the serfs. Greed is a human flaw. It will manifest itself in any human organization. Whether it be government, corporations, labor unions, and yes even the "Wall Street Occupiers".
Oh the irony.
Occupy Wall Street’s Finance Committee has nearly $500,000 in the bank, and donations continue to pour in -- but its reluctance to share the wealth with other protesters is fraying tempers.[LEFT]

You would be surprised what the Mayor of New York gives a damn about. Bloomberg gives a damn about how much salt people like on their food and how much sugar they like in their drinks. He might just want to get his hands on their books.WebFire;942427 wrote:Why the hell would the Mayor of New York give a damn about their books?

I'm a little confused as to why these people need donations and then to buy stuff to give to their "collective" in the first place. Don't many of these people have jobs and means? And if not, isn't the govt already giving them handouts via unemployment, welfare and the like?
So what it boils down to is this is just one big hippie-fest to get free shit?
But if you're a homeless person, this is a bonanza! Free food, free backpacks and free camping gear? They even do your laundry?

Any conservatives care to explain why the tone about how it's the duty of Americans to protest has radically changed to "we shouldn't be pitting Americans against each other"? Or is it just because conservatives think these people support different solutions than them?

The more I watch Jon Stewart, the more I think he is a bigger douchebag than Keith Olbermann.
Nothing about that is even close to being funny, Jon Stewart needs clown-punched.

I noticed you picked up on only the things that were silly comedy in the video and not, you know, the very valid arguments and examples of hypocrisy within the Republican party.
As for who watches him, a quick search told me that in May of this year he averaged 2.3 million viewers. So a lot of people.
