The more I see of these racist protesters the sicker they make me. That is why we need to dust off our video cameras and start filming them. When will the Democratic Party and Obama speak out about these actions that are so prevalent at these protests?
Racist Rager @ Occupy Wall St.
The Occupy Wall Street movement has adopted racist rules for speech at its nightly “General Assembly” meetings, according to which white men cannot speak unless preceded by some other type of person.
State your race, gender & sexual orientation, then maybe we'll let you speak. Later.
According to Occupy Wall Street supporter/observer “Lori“:
Occupy Wall Street’s General Assembly operates under a revolutionary “progressive stack.” A normal “stack” means those who wish to speak get in line. A progressive stack encourages women and traditionally marginalized groups speak before men, especially white men. This is something that has been in place since the beginning, it is necessary, and it is important.
“Step up, step back” was a common phrase of the first week, encouraging white men to acknowledge the privilege they have lived in their entire lives and to step back from continually speaking. This progressive stack has been inspiring and mind-boggling in its effectiveness.

Is it OK to be a liberal racist as long as it's against the Jews and whites? It's all about the color of our skin to these liberals. When will they give up their hate? They hate the rich and want what they have. They want the "rich" to work and pay for their education, houses... and they think protesting is the best way to take what they want. There have been numerous signs that say, "kill the rich". They don't care about anyones rights. At what point will you and I be the target of these liberal thieves and racists?
A look at some of the claims in his news conference and how they compare with the facts:
OBAMA: “If it turns out that there are Republicans who are opposed to this bill, they need to explain to me, but more importantly to their constituencies and the American people, why they’re opposed, and what would they do.”
THE FACTS: While Republicans might not be campaigning on their opposition to Obama’s plan, they’ve hardly kept their objections a secret.
In a memorandum to House Republicans Sept. 16, House Speaker John Boehner and members of the GOP leadership said they could find common ground with Obama on the extension of certain business tax breaks, waiving a payment withholding provision for federal contractors, incentives for hiring veterans, and job training measures in connection with unemployment insurance.
They objected to new spending on public works programs, suggesting instead that Congress and the president work out those priorities in a highway spending bill. And they raised concerns about Obama’s payroll tax cuts for workers and small businesses, arguing that the benefits of a one-year tax cut would be short-lived. The memo also pointed out that reducing payroll taxes, which pay for Social Security, temporarily forces Social Security to tap the government’s general fund. And it opposed additional spending to prevent layoffs of teachers, police officers and other public workers.

OBAMA: “Every idea that we’ve put forward are ones that traditionally have been supported by Democrats and Republicans alike.”
THE FACTS: Obama proposes to pay for his jobs bill by raising taxes, something traditionally opposed by Republicans and, in the form Obama proposed it, even some Democrats. Senate Democrats were so allergic to Obama’s approach, which relied largely on limiting deductions that can be taken by individuals making over $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000, that they’re eliminating it and replacing it with a new tax on millionaires.
In claiming bipartisan support for the components of his proposal, the president appears to be referring just to what the plan would do, not how it’s paid for, but that‘s a crucial distinction he doesn’t make.
Some of tax-cutting proposals offered by Obama have received significant Republican support in the past. But some of the new spending he proposes has received only nominal Republican backing. Evidence of bipartisanship provided by the White House includes legislation last year that provided $10 billion to prevent teacher layoffs. It won the support of only two Republican senators – Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine and among the most moderate Republicans in Congress. Another example cited by the White House was his proposal last year to offer tax breaks to businesses that hire new workers – it passed the House 217-201 with six Republican votes.

OBAMA: “The answer we’re getting right now is: Well, we’re going to roll back all these Obama regulations… Does anybody really think that that is going to create jobs right now and meet the challenges of a global economy?”
THE FACTS: Well, yes, some think it will. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce last month submitted a jobs proposal to Obama that included a call to ease regulations on businesses. It specifically called for streamlining environmental reviews on major construction projects and to delay the issuance of some potentially burdensome regulations until the economy and employment have improved. In the letter, Chamber President Thomas Donohue also called on Congress to pass legislation that would require congressional approval of major regulations. The chamber did not indicate how many jobs such regulatory changes could create, but it said: “Immediate regulatory relief is required in order to begin moving $1 trillion-$2 trillion in accumulated private capital off of the sidelines and into business expansion.”

OBAMA: “We can either keep taxes exactly as they are for millionaires and billionaires, with loopholes that lead them to have lower tax rates, in some cases, than plumbers and teachers, or we can put teachers and construction workers and veterans back on the job.”
THE FACTS: True, “in some cases” wealthy people can exploit loopholes to make their tax rate lower than for people of middle or low income. In recent rhetoric, Obama had suggested it was commonplace for rich people to pay lower rates than others, a claim not supported by IRS statistics. But on Thursday, Obama accurately stated that it only happens sometimes.
In 2009, 1,470 households filed tax returns with incomes above $1 million yet paid no federal income tax, according to the IRS. Yet that was less than 1 percent of returns with incomes above $1 million. On average, taxpayers who made $1 million or more paid 24.4 percent of their income in federal income taxes; those making $100,000 to $125,000 paid 9.9 percent; those making $50,000 to $60,000 paid 6.3 percent. The White House argues that when payroll taxes – paid only on the first $106,800 of wages – are factored in, more middle class workers wind up with a higher tax rate than millionaires.

OBAMA: “China has been very aggressive in gaming the trading system to its advantage and to the disadvantage of other countries, particularly the United States. …. And currency manipulation is one example of it, or at least intervening in the currency markets in ways that have led their currency to be valued lower than the market would normally dictate. And that makes their exports cheaper and that makes our exports to them more expensive.”
THE FACTS: While Obama complained about China’s efforts to keeps its currency undervalued to gain trade advantages, his administration has repeatedly refused to brand China as a currency manipulator in a report that the Treasury Department is required to send to Congress twice a year.
Such a designation would trigger negotiations between the two countries and could ultimately lead to U.S. trade sanctions against China.
The administration has been reluctant to brand China a currency manipulator, as have past administrations, because the United States depends on China to buy U.S. Treasury securities to help finance America’s budget deficits. China owns $1.17 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, making it the largest foreign holder of Treasury debt.
The fact is Republicans aren't the only ones that don't like Obama's jobs bill. Democrats in both houses of congress don't like it either. Many Democrats on Capitol Hill appear far from sold that the president has the right antidote to spur major job growth and turn around their party’s political fortunes.
Here is what some Democratic Party leaders are saying. “Terrible,” Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) told POLITICO when asked about the president’s ideas for how to pay for the $450 billion price tag. “We shouldn’t increase taxes on ordinary income. … There are other ways to get there.”
“That offset is not going to fly, and he should know that,” said Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu from the energy-producing Louisiana, referring to Obama’s elimination of oil and gas subsidies. “Maybe it’s just for his election, which I hope isn’t the case.”
“I think the best jobs bill that can be passed is a comprehensive long-term deficit-reduction plan,” said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), discussing proposals to slash the debt by $4 trillion by overhauling entitlement programs and raising revenue through tax reforms. “That’s better than everything else the president is talking about — combined.”
And those are just the moderates in the party. Some liberals also have concerns.
“There is serious discomfort with potentially setting up Social Security as a fall guy because you’re taking this contribution out,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, referring to Obama’s proposal to further slash payroll taxes.
If Obama can't even get his own party in line for this jobs bill how can he blame it all on Republicans? That is just crazy talk as far as I'm concerned. But that's the Obama way I guess.
“Obviously, I’ve heard of it. I’ve seen it on television,” he said. “I think it expresses the frustrations that the American people feel. That we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Huge collateral damage all throughout the country, all across Main Street. And yet, you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us in this problem in the first place.”
See his response below:
Obama refused to condemn any of the protesters actions (despite multiple altercations with police and arrests) and said they are just expressing their frustrations. That sounds to me like he stands with these lawless liberal warriors on Wall Street. Why in the world didn't Obama take the time to tell his liberal supporters to calm down and keep the law for a change? Is he afraid they might turn on him next? Are these supporters of Obama's really worth it? This isn't about doing what is best for the Obama campaign. It's time he does what is best for the country as a whole. He doesn't have to tell them to go home. But he should tell them to obey the law and give up the terrorism and violence.
(CONTENT WARNING for strong language):
This is some of the racism coming out of these liberal protesters. Why can't Democrats speak out about this racism?
Protesters from an anti-Wall Street march are arrested and pepper sprayed as they tried to march to Wall Street Wednesday night.
Can the main stream media still say that these protests are peaceful and get away with this lie? This is real violence not the make believe violence the left said the Tea Party was. It's time the the Democratic Party leaders speak out about this violence coming from their side. Obama, with his class warfare rhetoric started this and he needs to take control of it. That is unless this is what he wanted to begin with. He is a community agitator by trade and that is what he did best.
Obama also needs to speak out about his ilk making threats of terrorism on the NYSE on Oct.10. This isn't what democracy looks like and the Democratic Party needs to do something about it.
I also think Wall Street needs to do something about the Democratic Party backed protesters. The best thing they can is cut off the Democratic Party funding. Wall Street gives more money to the Democratic Party by far then the Republican Party. Wall Street needs to cut them off.
The fact is Obama and the Democratic Party bailed out Wall Street, not main street. But the mindless protesters somehow haven't figured that out. The protesters also haven't figured out that our national debt was raised by the Democratic Party. The young protesters need to realize that it is their generation that will get stuck with the bill. Democrats want to keep spending their money, while Republicans want to cut spending and pay down that debt now, not the next few generations.
The fact is these protesters have a right to protest in a legal way. They can say whatever they want, and they do. But if they keep going this route of violence and lawlessness our jailes will just get more full of liberals. It's time we start looking at the fact that these protesters are becoming more violent and it is the Democratic Parties fault. If this is the "Hope and Change" they were looking for than vote for Obama. But if you don't like the direction of this country then vote him out of office.
Obama and the Democratic Party set their minion free and told them what to do. This is their bad and they need to fix it. Hiding from reality wont make it go away. As Americans start to realize that this is Obama's doing and that he started this mess with his class warfare rhetoric people will start to bail from the Democratic Party in droves. Who in their right mind would want to be associated with these kinds of people. They call themselves the 99%. How is it that most Americans don't stand with them? Find one poll that says otherwise.
The good news is these violent protesters are taking Obama and the Democratic Party down with them. People know which Party stands with them. As they become more and more violent and lawless with threats of economic terrorism people start putting the pieces together. It isn't just by chance that Obama's approval numbers keep going down. They see what is happening and they blame him, not Republican for this mess. Obama has never ever had to clean up his own mess when he was community organizing. He just steered the pot and let someone else do the work of cleaning it up. We don't need any more steering the pot and class warfare. We need solutions to the problems. We need a leader. Having violent protests demanding that the top 1% of money earners give their money to the other 99% isn't a real or lasting solution. It is theft. If these people put as much effort into working for their own money rather then trying to take from the "rich" we would all be better off. It's just a matter of time before these takers just start stealing what they think is theirs. If this is their ideology, and it is, the jailes are the right place for them.
millions of Americans are looking for work, millions have or will lost their homes, and millions more have pretty much lost their retirement savings. The reason Democrats give? "It's Bush's fault".
Since Occupy Wall Street protests began mid-September, the hacker collective Anonymous has been posting its support for protesters and threats against those like the New York Police Department, on its YouTube channel. In its most recent post, Anonymous threatens to “erase” the New York Stock Exchange from the Internet.
Anonymous includes instruction on its video for people to "JOIN THE RAID".
On October 10. Watch the group’s video threat of a day that will “never, ever be forgot:”
Anonymous confirms its DDoS attack with its “Message to the People”:
Is this what "democracy looks like"? Liberals are showing that they are no different then the Islamic terrorist they support. I think we are only starting to see the beginning of the terrorism from the left-wing in this country. They say they are "peaceful" but their actions say otherwise. If the Tea Party did anything even close to the lawlessness coming from the left-wing it would be front page for months.
These liberals are dangerous and will stop at nothing to get their way. Our jails and prisons are full with liberals. And they will get even more full by the time winter hits and they go back into hiding.
We the People are getting sick of the liberal violence and threats of terrorism in this country and others. We are watching what the liberals and unions are doing to nations like Greece.
Maybe it's time that Obama dust off the new and Obama improved Patriot Act and go after these liberal terrorists. The liberals didn't bitch much when Obama made the Patriot Act even more invasive to American citizens. They never thought that it could be used against them. Only when Bush was president did that thought go into their minds. It is obvious that these liberals are the enemy of the USA and we need to treat them as such. I'm sure they will love Gitmo this time of year. LOL
Obama needs to act like the POTUS and speak out about these liberal groups that supported him. He needs to address their threats of terrorism and violence. I know he has all but given up leading this country and focused totally on campaigning to keep his job. But this country needs a leader that puts this country first.
This country is on the edge anyways. We don't need liberal terrorist pushing us over the edge.
The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters have listed 13 proposed demands from their website. Try not to laugh while reading these "demands". Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr. Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors. Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. Demand four: Free college education. Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand. Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now. Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants. Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment. Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live. Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system. Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period. Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies. Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
