More than 100 Occupy Wall Street protesters marched to a Midtown hotel on Wednesday night to protest a fund-raising event for President Obama...
Demonstrators held signs that leveled some of the Occupy protest’s most pointed criticism to date of the president. “Obama is a corporate puppet,” one said. “War crimes must be stopped, no matter who does them,” read another, beside head shots of President George W. Bush and President Obama.
One man, wearing a mask of the president’s face and holding a cigar, carried a sign that read, “I sold out!”
Ben Campbell, 28, one of the march’s organizers, said he hoped to prove to skeptics of the protests that the demonstrators were political critics of equal opportunity.
“President Obama is coming to town solely to raise money from the richest of the rich,” Mr. Campbell said....
:ws Hackery at it's finest.It must make yourself feel good to think that about Obama supporters. For every "starry eyed college student" support of Obama, there is one meth-addicted trailer park piece of trash conservative. See ya.

Well, at least, "more than 100" (it's the NYTimes) did. be interesting to see if this spreads across the movement. like i've been saying for some time now, the starry eyed college students who rushed the polls in 2008 are the embittered un and under employed of 2012.

I guess people are waking up from the dream of hope and change. Question: Do you think they'll fall for it again during the 2012 elections?
But signs like this, where his base is hounding him, protesting, is a good sign that he's in trouble.
I could vote for Romney if that is what you are asking
I don't think the Occupy people generally represent the base on either side of the partisan coin. They are against the whole establishment and want system-wide changes, especially in the way congress accepts bribes and in how economic policy is formed. People keep calling them leftists yet they fail to acknowledge that OWS took place under a Dem governor, in a left-leaning State, in a Dem Federal environment. It makes no difference.
it is nights like last night why sometimes I hate my city.
My ****ing car is still there, Took the train out due to the insane gridlock.

This is short sighted. If you go to one, for the most part they give the administration a pass. These were the far left who thought Obama was thier liberal savior, when he pretty much continued the Bush policies, they revolted but against the banks.
See chris mathews to get the pulse of the far left disapointed obama supporter, you see them all over these forums as well. The magic is gone.
That assessment is idiotic! Did you guys happen to read why they are protesting Obama's visit?
"“Obama is a corporate puppet,” one said. “War crimes must be stopped, no matter who does them,” read another, beside head shots of President George W. Bush and President Obama."
Does it sound like they are protesting about him being to conservative or too progressive?
And which of the potential candidates running against Obama is more progressive than he is?
So, why would people protest against Obama being too conservative, and then vote for someone more conservative?
Afraid I don't follow your logic there.
I have been to one, in fact I've been to two. I'm not part of the OWS movement but I did check them out. There are conservatives there too, although they are more classical conservatives (in the economic sense). I find they are more left leaning libertarians if you want to put a political spin on this. I don't believe the movement is pro-democrat.

LOL...cons are so funny.
They think that because some aren't 100% in agreement with every thing the dems do, that'll drive them into the arms of the cons who do nothing they like.
Cons are funny. Funny cons. :lol:

Are we talking "Magic Negro" stuff? I wonder if Matthews is demoting Obama from his magic status.This is short sighted. If you go to one, for the most part they give the administration a pass. These were the far left who thought Obama was thier liberal savior, when he pretty much continued the Bush policies, they revolted but against the banks.

I don't think they fell for hope and change unless they hoped getting rid of GWShiiteForBrains was a hoped for change. Republicans still won't admit what a weasel he was and that's why they won't get elected. "If you don't acknowledge the mistakes of the past, you are doomed to repeat them." No, thanks.
That's retarded. Who claimed this? My point is they may just stay home. libs, so ignorant, ignorant libs. :lol:
that's a pretty bigoted statement.
I won't bother asking you to explain yourself.
