Couldn’t agree anymore with you Schlussel, that song that John Rich of “Big & Rich” sang, “Shuttin Detroit Down” was sang in the 2009 Tea Party rally, I saw Sean Hannity’s show that night in April of 2009 during the Tea Party demonstration(s), and John Rich sang and promoted that song on SH’s show.

As for this so-called “OWS”, I believe this movement is endorsed and funded by George Soros himself. From what I learned last week on a talk show, moveon.org funded this movement, so I won’t be surprised if Soros has his finger-prints on this? Afterall, wasn’t moveon.org funded by George Soros during the Clinton administration when Bill Clinton was going through impeachment hearings by the house of representatives? Good article Debbie, I’m going to share this link on my facebook page (wall-section), if any of you who comments here on this blog of DS’s is on facebook, you can go onto my facebook page and comment the stories that I already linked!

Sean R. on October 10, 2011 at 4:56 pm

This is directly contradicted by recent events though, and of course the fact that this guy was all but chased out of Zuccotti Park by these same supposedly anti-Semitic protestors. Here you go, Debbie:

http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/watch-yom-kippur-at-occupy-wall-street-1.389167

“As sundown approached on Friday, a crowd of approximately 700 people gathered on the New York plaza for Kol Nidre prayers; similar services were held at Occupy Wall Street camps in Washington, Philadelphia, Boston.”

Last time I checked, a huge crowd of tolerance and inclusivity is more representative than lone nuts. Here you are committing the same kinds of fallacies perpetrated by the MSM against the Tea Party, saying they are lily White and full of people on Medicare paid Jazzy power scooters. Wake up! We are all in this struggle together–well, all of us but that 1% of course. They already have class war down to a science, not much of a struggle for them.

Mike Fink on October 10, 2011 at 5:07 pm

Well, did we expect any different? The extreme left and the extreme right serve principally to attack the most American of Americans, the most Western of Westerners, the most enlightened of the Enlightenment, the Jew.

RT on October 10, 2011 at 5:12 pm

Just as I thought, the demonstrations on Wall Street are turning out like those in the 1960’s. More people are showing up for the free food, sex, condoms. drugs, liquor. Just like at earlier demonstrations, horny guys are showing up to play mattress tag with a host of cute, slutty, and stupid girls. Indeed, free condoms were given out. Drugs and alcohol are plentiful, as is the free food. Big $$$ of George Soros and Democratic party are behind this movement.

As I predicted there are early signs of anti-Semitism, as characteratures (sp) of Jews involved in the money business are showing up (Bernanke to name one).

In 1968, Communist and Self hating Jew Pete Seeger, speaking to the Poor People’s riot, err, March on Washington, stated, “Jews, open up your banks!”

I did not know that David Rockefeller, Ambassador Harriman, Andrew Mellon, etc., etc., were Jewish.

Jonathan E. Grant on October 10, 2011 at 5:16 pm

YOU are the moron. Get your facts straight and get with the program or you’re going to get left behind real quick. This movement is the only thing that will save us from complete control by the out out control corporations and government!

Ehrickah on October 10, 2011 at 5:51 pm

Besides Soros’ money, these demonstrations were also ginned up and stirred up (via the typical Marxian “class warfare script”) by Obama – who, from what I seem to recall, took in gazillions, himself, from Wall Street in ’08 for his presidential campaign. Not to mention Wall Street over the last several years giving oodles to Democrats in campaign contributions.

ConcernedPatriot on October 10, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Also want to add, true patriotism is questioning your government when you don’t agree or they act immorally and unethically, not following it blindly.

Ehrickah on October 10, 2011 at 5:56 pm

Just like vegetarians/vegans/peta pets wearing leather.

Or when socialists call conservatives nazis, they prove they have no clue to the political spectrum.

How about these morons support for obambi? They do know that wall st is his biggest contributor and that’s why he gave them all our money.

Sure question your government, but these idiots are protesting banks not the government. The protestors in DC actually admitted they hired sign carriers from Home Depot parking lots. So it is still all just a sham using idiots who know nothing about what they are being used for.

Ender on October 10, 2011 at 6:11 pm

First let me give big props to Savage. Lately he has been mocking that butt-munch Sean Vannity by saying (and imitating) “Abbot and Costello” saying every day Vannity more and more become Abbott. It cracks me up.

And what do you know? Little old mediocre Vannity (who also supported Casey Anthony…prolly supports Amanda Knox as well…) is twisting more and more LEFT. Just like PAWNN is doing. He’s such a stupid cow.

Please note: This weekend in Parade magazine, that splotchy praying mantis Bill O’Reilly came out and said that PAWNN was changing their TONE because of PAWNN’s “huge responsibility” that they carry during these times. Oh okay, you loofah-loving fraud. Only the stupid Conservative zombies haven’t figure this ass-clown out yet.

LIBERALISM GENERATES THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF ITS STATED INTENT…that’s Quinn’s 1st Law of the Left. And the Occupy Filth-ins are like the text-book case of such nonsense. And it’s nonsense of the smelliest kind as well.

I am glad I know what a POS scam PAWNN is. Just wish I could have seen it even sooner. Now you know why the stupid morning crew acted all incredulous when Hank Williams II had his say (not saying his Hitler reference was all that effective but you know what I am saying).

Skunky on October 10, 2011 at 6:28 pm

The characterizations here show none of you have bothered to go down to your local Occupy movement. Some of us, myself included, are very worried about some of the bigger unions, MoveOn, etc. taking over. That is part of the reason the horizontal style of government being applied at these protests is some important: it makes it much more difficult for Obama et al. to hijack this movement like the Tea Party was hijacked. Don’t you guys remember how that happened? This movement is not about exclusion though, so we are not going to bar them from participating. We just have to make vigilance our watchword.

In some of these spaces there are definitely racial tensions, there are major ideological differences, there are differences in terms of what tactics people think work best. This is fucking democracy, though, it is sloppy, it takes time. Don’t y’all remember the various configurations of government that preceded the 18th century? For heaven’s sake, there was a state constitutional with a unicameral legislature (PA)! You are the conservatives so you guys should have this history thing down pat. Direct democracy is totally new to most people taking part in these protests.

Anyway, I hope some of you will, if not give these protests a chance, at least go down to them and talk to people. Find out what people think the problems are, even better yet tell them what YOU think the problem is. See what similarities are there, maybe even speak at the general assembly and see what sort of a response you get on the stump. Eating the crap you’re shoveled all day every day by the MSM and pundits is NOT the way to becoming an informed citizen.

Mike Fink on October 10, 2011 at 6:28 pm

Oh, I forgot to add the most important point of my post. Watch out for not only creeping Jew hatred on the RIGHT, but also for creeping Moooooslim acceptance on the RIGHT as well.

If you have been paying attention, BOTH things are ever-so-stealthily creeping up on the RIGHT. I won’t stand for it and I reject BOTH 100%. Figures a maroon like Vannity would tip-toe through such crap.

It’s here…and if you look closely, you will see it too. NOT COOL.

Skunky on October 10, 2011 at 6:32 pm

I agree with your characterization of these demonstrators, and also about their anti-Semitism. The anti-Semitic characterizations of Jews as capitalist representatives goes back to the French Revolution,and throughout the 19th century, attacks on capitalists in Europe seemed to center disproportionally on the Rothchilds.

These attacks were also carried out by many left-wingers at the time, such as Marx, Proudhon and Fourier.

Even many French intellectuals who believed in Dreyfus’s innocence, felt that it would be best if most Jews emigrated from France.

Little Al on October 10, 2011 at 6:51 pm

But, at the same time, acknowledging the obnoxiousness and anti-Semitism of the protesters, I have a different take on them.

Although many groups are associated with these demonstrations, I think the main impetus keeping them going is based on forces associated with Obama and the Democratic Party, in spite of some criticisms of the administration they are making.

Look at what is happening. They are shifting the focus of the unemployment discussion to Wall Street greed, and at least implicitly, on Republicans. There is a growing current of opinion around the country now blaming capitalists and Wall street ‘greed’ for the unemployment situation now prevailing.

While Republicans are denouncing the protesters, they are doing it episodically, and are losing the initiative to the protesters because they are not carrying out a sustained campaign. It is not enough to dismiss them as kooks.

At the same time, more and more Democrats are associating themselves with the protesters, and it is only a matter of time before Republicans are explicitly attacked.

The Republicans are losing the advantage they got in late 2010, and if they are not careful, the whole issue of the economy will be yanked from under them by this movement and its outgrowths.

Little Al on October 10, 2011 at 6:57 pm

Here in Denver we have a growing tent city in the greensward between our state
capital building and municipal courthouse. Candidate Obama gave a speech in this park in Oct.,2008 that drew over 100,000 people. Camping is illegal but the state police that control the park are only “monitoring” the situation.Our far left governor,Hickenlooper, is unwilling to take action to remove the OWC campers. The OWC’s “civil disobedience” appears to be condoned by our state and city city governments.
I find it very disturbing that besides the class envy and anti-Semitism these OWC protestors display there is also a strong undercurrent of inter-generational war being waged. Old people are mocked for being bigoted and out of touch with the
modern world. There is a hint of this in the Fink’s first post. Reading our Denver
Post’s blogs I have read several examples of young people blaming old people
and baby boomers for their problems.
I fear that a country of self-entitled brats that has zero respect for their elders
is doomed to failure.
This is my first post here and I would like to thank Debbie for her blog and all the regular posters for their contributions.
P.S…..That video clip that Skunky referenced of Rep. Lewis and the OWC “maroons” scared the liver out of me. Can people really be that stupid?

Can you point this out to me? I am not quite sure where you got this idea from.

@Skunky

“Fink, we are a Constitutional Republic NOT a democracy. Thank goodness. Those filty filth-ins is what you get with straight-up democracy. (See how they turned their dopey backs on their dopey brother Lewis…when they voted NOT to let him speak…even though he was on their side).

Those of us who are well ensconced in our Conservativism need not go down to those smelly pits of idiocy. I, for one, know how the left think inside and out. I do NOT need to waste my time with them. They are against everything I hold true and sacred.

So those of us who know the Left inside and out will never waste our time with their foolish thoughts and beliefs.”

I appreciate that we are a Republic, but republicanism (small ‘r’) is an idea and something to be embedded within the framework of democratic action. The fundamental mechanics of our system are democratic, and our orientation towards values within this framework is republican. I don’t think that is bad at all! The question is to what extent we move this republicanism into elitism or expert control of society, or to what degree we unleash the possibility of ugly moments in mass democracy, of which there are more than a few.

I am not sure who Lewis is or what general assembly in particular let them speak. Are you speaking specifically of NYC? It could have been that rather than refusing him time in front of the group, he was simply not allowed to jump stack. There is a concrete parliamentary process in the general assembly, and each occupation decides exactly how this will be carried out: for instance, the NYC GA uses progressive stack and created, at least while I was there, a 9/10ths supermajority to break blocks put up against votes; in Occupy Philly this is different–I have even heard in some occupation groups there is a simple democratic majority for blocking proposals.

I urge all of you to research this subject further. From what I have been hearing, you are letting people refract this movement for you. Do your own legwork!

Mike Fink on October 10, 2011 at 9:25 pm

Okay, five seconds of footwork and I found quotes from Lewis about his experience:

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/10/09/john-lewis-denied-speaking-at-occupy-atlanta/

This is a direct result of the Atlanta GA rules and it wasn’t that they wouldn’t let him speak, it was that it had to be put to a vote–something that’s done in all cases, no exceptions–and Rep. Lewis didn’t have time in his schedule to wait for the process. What did Lewis say afterwards:

“No, not at all, not at all,” he said. “In another time, another period, when I was very young, I was ahead of the student non-violent community, better known as SNCC. We participated in a similar process. We would discuss, we would debate, until we reach consensus. This is not something strange or out of the ordinary for me.”

Y’all are clearly intelligent, managing politically sensitive topics just requires a bit more sleuth-like footwork to peel through the layers of bull!

Jack on October 11, 2011 at 12:14 am

This past week, I listened to several hosts, both national and local, TRY to interview some so-called “spokespersons” from the various pockets of demonstrators. In every case, when queried about basic definable demands or reasons for their behavior, no one host received a straight answer, nor did the guest endeavour to offer one. They are attempting to cruise along on the fuel of emotion and double-talk. Unfortunately, there are entirely too many sheeple all to eager to jump on the nearest convenient bandwagon, and the current one seems to them just as good as any.

The Soros shadow is certainly looming over most of these events as shown by the availability of food, showers, medical attention, etc. One demonstrator commented about the salmon and cream cheese offered that he was eating better than he did at home. Pre-planning was necessary for much of what’s happening. We’ll see if Soros provides portable heat for the loiterers when the weather changes. (hopefully soon)

Thankfully, I’m in my mid 60’s, and probably won’t be around to see the eventual fruits of the poison trees being planted today. I am now not so upset that I don’t have any children. I would only sadden them with my stories of life in the 50’s and 60’s.

Australia extends sympathy to Copts

The head of the NSW Community Relations Commission has offered his sympathies to the state’s Coptic Community following fatal clashes in the streets of Cairo.

“Fair-minded people around the world would be greatly disturbed by the scenes in the streets of Cairo in the past twenty four hours and would condemn all acts of violence, especially those committed as a result of religious intolerance or hatred.”

No one should be persecuted or vilified in any country for their religious beliefs, Mr Kerkyasharian said.

The rioting lasted late into the night, bringing out a deployment of more than 1000 security forces and armoured vehicles to defend the state television building along the Nile, where the trouble began.

Jarhead on October 11, 2011 at 8:50 am

Is there a legitimate way to criticize stuff like Enron, Arthur Anderson, insider trading, accounting scandals, fraud etc.? In this country, white collar crime, cronyism etc. constitutes a bigger threat to capitalism than the socialists. A huge gulf exists between criticizing illegal activity – which is just as wrong on Wall Street as it is in some ghetto alley – and “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” stuff. Of course, anti-Semites commonly do use white collar crime to attack Jews. But racists use street crime to attack blacks. So that is hatred on one hand – which is illegitimate – while denouncing crime (both street and white collar) is not only legitimate, but absolutely necessary for moral people to do. I stand against both the drug dealer who sells crack to pregnant women and the boardroom fellow who cooks the books. Both are illegal, and both should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

“One of my problems with the OWS gang is they act oblivious to the fact that Obama has been supported by WalStr and has paid WalStr back from the get go.”

Again, this is a totally unverifiable statement of opinion and a really inaccurate blanket statement. Ketchup, a girl who did facilitation in the NYCGA, wore an anti-Obama shirt. There have been pleas to keep this movement from being taken over by MoveOn and, etc. Some part of the Left continues to ignore the fact that more and more, Obama is relying on big money donors since the source of his 2008 election war chest–the people–has dried up: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/15/obamas-haul-big-money-from-big-donors/

And of course one only has to go to opensecrets.org to see that Obama gets a healthy sum from FIRE: http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638&type=I Goldman, JP Morgan and Citigroup are all Top 10 donors even for his 2008 campaign.

Mike Fink on October 11, 2011 at 11:38 am

Skunky:

Just pointing out that some of the Wall Street criticism is legitimate, and not thinly veiled criticism. Criticizing that crowd was a lot more common in right wing circles before the Wall Street Journal/National Review/Fox News/Club For Growth crowd got so influential in forming and leading opinion on the right, and began this bizarre, almost cultish attitude of worshiping wealth. It reached its apex during the George W. Bush administration, and it is the primary reason why the frontrunners for the GOP nomination right now are Mitt Romney (businessman/insider with little political experience), Herman Cain (businessman/insider with even less political experience than Romney), and Rick Perry (George W. Bush II, or George Bush III). Well news flash … those oil imams are rich too! When wealthy people and corporations are corrupt and break laws, it is just as bad as when big government and liberal politicians do it. Yes, I am upset about Solyndra, but unlike the typical person who reads National Review, the Wall Street Journal, Townhall.com etc. or listens to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, I am equally upset about the tens (maybe hundreds?) of billions of Iraq reconstruction money that went to Bush-Cheney cronies for work that either was never done, was done shoddily, was done at WAY above fair market value, or just flat out disappeared and is unaccounted for. That is what I am getting at … it is more than just stuff like the Saudis buying into News Corp, but a bunch more unethical, illegal and possibly dangerous stuff going on too.

Gerald on October 11, 2011 at 12:27 pm

What I think is happening here is that the Tea Party originally was a grass roots protest movement from the Right that was quickly subverted and taken over by the Republicans.

Now the Wall Street protests were started mainly by the left and finally the real culprits to the destruction of our country were fingered. The Illuminati..err establishment couldn’t have that, so they had their minion George Soros co-opt this movement that is coming mainly from the Left.

What frightens me is that the American people are upset and feel betrayed (kinda like the Germans in the early ’30s). The Establishment will never allow themselves (who are the truly guilty ones who did all of this and profited from it) fingered, so they needed a scapegoat back then. They therefore picked the Jews primarily along with a few other groups (trade unionists, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Communists, and Gays–all who died next to the Jews in the camps). Meanwhile the evil SOBs who really were the ones who messed up Germany made a fortune during WW2 and transferred the money off-shore before the end and didn’t suffer one bit (research IG Farben for example).

Flash forward to today. If things keep getting worse (and they will), who is going to be the scapegoat ??? Could the horrors of Nazi Germany come here if in a few years if a powerful leader should arise to fix all of our problems ??? I mean our country would never elect a man promising Hope & Change who had no experience or qualifications to be President yet was a skilled orator—that would never happen here—right ??

Sean

I second Skunky – get yourself a gravitar like I did – regardless of whether I fill in my name as Infidel or Infidel Pride, everyone knows who I am due to the ‘No Islam’ signage I’ve adapted.

Skunky

I’ve heard different names called – Moooooslims, Fundamuslimists (from Rush once many years ago) and Muzzies. But my favorite happens to be ‘Mohammedan’. It’s pretty innocuous and passes most filters, and yet, nothing pisses them off than being called that, since they think it implies that they are a cult. Of course they are a cult, but they’re also too stupid to realize that Mohammedanism doesn’t imply worship of Mohammed any more than a Lutheran worships Martin Luther. Of course, they do put Mohammed on the same pedestal as allah (in fact, allah is Mohammed’s sock puppet).

I’m glad I no longer listen to or watch Vanity – he used to strike me as an airhead even before his falling-out w/ Debbie over the Imam heading the Texas legislature prayer issue. In fact, there’s hardly anyone I see out there who’s as clean as Debbie – only ones I think are so are Roger Hedgecock and Lee Rodgers.

On this OWS campaign, really the blame for that should go to the majority of Americans investing in the stock market starting in the 90s: previously, it was just a few people, so there wasn’t as much pressure on companies to show expanded marketshare even @ the cost of profits (to inflate stock prices) and so companies didn’t bother moving all manufacturing to China or elsewhere. Now, w/ investors breathing down their necks all the time, most corporate management couldn’t made decisions to do what’s patriotic that would be financially justifiable in Wall Street. The fault here ain’t that of either Dow/Nasdaq/S&P nor that of corporate executives, but rather investors who don’t have the patience to give business plans the time they need to come to fruition, due to excessive pressure on them to make quick bucks and that too all the time – something that’s just unsustainable.

Infidel on October 12, 2011 at 3:13 am

@J. Feher:

I am not sure what about my demeanor would make you think I am a troll. I am addressing the salient points being raised by the people I am responding to and I am not stooping to denigrating them or the political point of view they represent. This is more than can be said of Skunky specifically, who I have been responding to most in this thread.

“Are those OWS meeting protocols that you so value what you consider intelligent adult discourse? Megaphone man speaking in three second snippets,repeated dutifully by the attendees, is that what you believe in?”

The “People’s Megaphone” began to be used in NYC because they refused to purchase a permit, which make the use of electrically amplified equipment in the park illegal. Since hundreds of people were gathered for the first general assembly there and not everybody could hear, this method was used to ensure that as many people as possible could participate. It isn’t “what they believe in,” it was begun as an expressly utilitarian gesture. It is definitely a powerful tool in terms of building solidarity, but it is slow and unwieldy and really when it doesn’t need to be used, it shouldn’t be. The longer GAs take, the more people get frustrated with the democratic process. I am not sure of the specifics in the case of Atlanta. Are they doing People’s Mic because they also do not have a permit for amplification? That’s a good question.

Again, this shows you are not aware of how this movement operates or what underlies its character on a state-by-state basis. As for Rep. Lewis, I had not read the news, which is why I asked who exactly it was. There are and have been other Rep. Lewis’, and skunky only referred to “their dopey brother Rep. Lews.” Expecting me to know without any contextualizing information that this was Rep. Lewis is kind of a stretch!

P.S.: Arguing that someone doesn’t understand the relevant information is not arguing that my generation is smarter or something like that. Your accusation of Ageism really doesn’t have any empirical backing whatsoever. If I am claiming intellectual authority in a matter, it isn’t because of demographic differences (after all, I don’t even know any of you), it is because someone isn’t constructing a convincing argument or is getting the facts wrong.

Mike Fink on October 12, 2011 at 7:09 am

That was. One of. The stupidest things. I have ever heard.

If your argument is that these people own apple computers, wear nikes, use technology, you are utterly missing the point.

Large corporations have consolidated wealth by slashing jobs. They have moved manufacturing overseas. Government officials have repeatedly ignored what is best for actual americans in favor or what these giant corporations want. Sadly, you will have fray types at any gathering of protest. But it is YOUR choice to focus on this tiny fraction of anti semitism and IGNORE the larger movement and message.

People here are acting like we still have money… but finish this equation to it’s logical completion…

Giant corporations consolidate power and put small businesses out of work… less jobs for everyone. Corporations buy power with lobbyists and are allowed to continue their agenda at any cost. The value of our dollar is utterly wasted and deflated by banking cartels printing money left and right because we have to repay them at full cost with interest, while our paychecks are at post inflation rates. Schools close, jobs disappear, the money in peoples savings accounts gets smaller and weaker while our labor repays at full those who were tasked with monitoring our monetary policy and production. A small group of people amassed so much power that they all have hand shakes and help one another. The only thing keeping the value of our dollar a float is the IDEA that it has worth because it is not backed by a silver or gold value. The idea that our dollar has value is based on the idea that our labor force will create wealth through labor. Our labor force cant actually interact with labor because manufacturing has shipped jobs overseas and congress has stamped the consolidation of business. The only people getting paid here in a consistent fashion are an elite few at the top, while the rest are left to labor off their debts as employees.

…this equation ends in one certain ilk of people writing checks… and those who actually labor having to pay off those debts with their remedial service industry jobs seeing as that is all they are largely left with.

Jews? You’re talking about jews vs. non jews and anti semites? Lady, WHO CARES. WHAT PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON? THIS IS AMERICA. Everyone of every type lives here. These people are protesting to protect the very base that allowed these maniacs to prosper because they are too short sighted to stop themselves from devouring that base. Not everyone gets to be a globalist because they are wealthy enough to interact internationally. And just because not everyone is that wealthy does NOT mean they have to be the labor to pay off the debts.

And let the anti semite BS come my way. I’ve been in a professional working relationship with two of my best friends and neighbors for fifteen years… both jews. This movement has NOTHING to do with what you are talking about.

Good lord have you ever even researched Monsanto to see how your government has sold you out? What types of foods have you been eating lately? Anything with GMO in it?

I don’t know how I wound up on this joke of a webpage. I know nothing about you or this site, only this page that I landed on. And I will not be coming back.
