The Radical Right-Wing Roots of Occupy Wall Street
slightly disingenuous title, but an informative read:
If there’s one thing that united Occupy Wall Street with the Tea Party movement from the very beginning, it’s a virulent aversion to being compared to each other.
The Tea Partiers started sharpening their knives before the Occupation even began. Two weeks before last year’s launch Tea Partisan blogger Bob Ellis wrote a post entitled “Socialists Plan to Rage Against Freedom on Constitution Day” – all but daring the lamestream punditry to compare the “infantile” plans of “spoiled children” to “throw tantrums” and “thumb their nose at the American way of life” to the beloved movement that “sprang up from nothing a little more than two years ago in the face of a Marxist president and Marxist congress.”
In reality, of course, no political movement springs “from nothing.” Indeed, both of them have roots in the same man. Fifty-five years earlier that fall, the Tea Party movement’s direct ancestors met in Indianapolis to launch their first bid to rally citizens against the “dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy” occupying the White House, Dwight Eisenhower. But when their beloved anti-communist Barry Goldwater was buried in the 1964 presidential election, the Republican Party moved swiftly to officially renounce the “radical organizations” that had sullied its public image. Then the most radical of the right-wing radicals, Goldwater’s beloved speechwriter Karl Hess, moved into a houseboat, renounced politics altogether and dedicated the rest of his life to peacefully protesting the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of the new aristocracy he dubbed “the one percent.”Censored link should read reuters.

Yes, first step to naming these protests "anti-semetic" - namely because they are against the status quo of current financial system...
I have about 10 sentences of conversational Russian knowledge to be fair. That being said, I've no idea what you're trying to say, probably on account of the language barrier. Try again?Originally Posted by DimoN
My apologies, I'll try again
There seems to be a mass media campaign against OWC, not really supporting them or otherwise - just an observation. Today they'll be branding them as far-right and extremist. Since the main opponent of OWC is current government, but also "Wall Street" itself - the logical step would be to call them anti-semetic? Given how powerful that card is to get people to "shut up"...

I see. Probably not. Large groups in the US don't get called anti-semitic much anymore. That's a charge that gets thrown at academics and politicians and not often. Occupy Wall Street really isn't significant enough to attract much attention. On the other hand, some politicians will speak to the Tea Party, because some of them actually vote. Occupy Wall Street has been mostly younger folks camping out in city parks.
That's where you're wrong, they were darlings of the media and most of the left wing, and probably right up until they started smashing windows at Obama campaign offices a couple months ago. Now days they're showing up at Romney rallies and pledging their votes to him to show their disdain for Obama.
I don't care who they support, for the most part they have proven themselves to be not much more than a bunch of rude smelly hippies anyway.
Calling them "Right Wing” is just Leftist propaganda. Many of them are anti Semitic and in my opinion, and simply outcast radical leftists themselves.

I honestly don't know who they are and it is funny the left has thrown them under the bus. US Pravda is a funny animal. In all seriousness, until they can get their message out without a lot of arrested members and destroyed property, I got nothing for them.
Edit, Ronny you rock like a hurricane!!!
America didn't win in the cold war.
Your right, I did you moron!
Whew, thought I was the only one. Good to know there were more than one of us out there
I just make fart in pants. I win though. I actually RTFA. People who no RTFA should not be able to post. Because they make silly comment.
I'm old enough to have lived through it so I think I can say we won...and I pooped just a little, first place?
OK, but usually you get disqualified for drawing mud.I'm old enough to have lived through it so I think I can say we won...and I pooped just a little, first place?
...........Lol
Seriously though, the TEA party is a conservative non partisan group who looks to change politics by supporting and having people with common interest become elected. The have gone a bit under the radar but they have been effective.

They are no way like Occupy as far as their protested go. No arrests have ever happened at a TEA party event. The America Pravda would like you to think they are some sort of savage racist hooligans.
