"Occupy Wall Street", now just "Occupy", seems to be made of a bunch of people who want to bitch. It is one way to take the wind out of the sails of the Tea Party movement. Some people say this is the acting out of the people who are disappointed with the idea of electing Obama. He was supposed to be open and fix a bunch of shit. Instead, we get another politician who is just out for the blood of the tax payer.
What gets me is when you ask people who are shouting from the roof tops why they are there, you get every reason under the sun. The protest is all about everything wrong.

Alix Jones agrees. He says it has been cooped and turned in to more class warfare.
Moveon.org has gotten involved heavily in these movements. Union members have turned up to crack heads and carry signs. I smell Astroturf. It is funny how this kind of thing never makes it in to the mainstream media. I take that back. It isn't funny at all.
