CNN’s pre-debate coverage Tuesday night came with a whole host of unexpected guests — namely a crowd of local “Occupy Las Vegas” protesters spreading their anti-Wall Street message.
They nearly shouted down “Out Front” host Erin Burnett with their chanting as she taped her show. At times Burnett sounded slightly taken aback at the high level of “Occupy” revelry.
“We’re seeing the American system in full swing,“ Burnett said over chants of ”Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!”
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer added, “Occupy Las Vegas, that’s what they’re doing! Protesting, which is their right.”
“That’s right, it absolutely is,” Burnett said dryly. “It‘s nice to see all the different things they’re talking about here.”

Posted on October 19, 2011 at 11:44pmAt the risk of sounding paranoid, I believe that this has all been engineered by the White House itself (they knew it would snowball) in order to guarantee that Obama (who has to know that his policies are political suicide) won’t be defeated in the 2012 election, because there isn’t going to be a 2012 election. I even came up with an acronym that I think sums up the condition of the United States of America:
Operation
Create
Civil
Unrest to
Preceed
Imminent
Emergency
Declaration
Yes, I wasted 15 minutes of my lunch break coming up with that.

Posted on October 19, 2011 at 8:40pmFreedom of speech is obviously NOT part of the loony left’s idea of their “New World Order”. They seem to revel in shutting down speech, be it this, the “Fox News lies” chants, Geraldo Rivera’s joy that they had “allowed him to speak”, refusing to hear civil rights hero John Lewis, or their screams of “MIKE CHECK” when someone utters something the collective do not want to hear. I hear yet another flush of the toilet as freedom swirls around the bowl – Trying to remain afloat.

some loud mouth piss pot commie?
IF he said this he would be correct………..
Let’s forget about the debt for the moment.
U.S. spends 3.6 trillion a year.
112 million taxpayers
3.6 t / 112m = 321,428
That means every taxpayer only needs to give 321,428 each to balance the spending.
I personally don’t have a problem with this. Quit your bitch’in and mail your check..

So ia a virus. Whats your point!
Free trade, Liberty and individual freedoms destroy what OWS stands for.
Let them march. let them gather let them rant it’s their right. Our right is to expose them of who they are, Who backs them and what their REAL end game is.
Historical evidence proves that communist precepts mixed with bantering idiots leads to hate and violence as is evident in every demonstration this group attaches itself to.
Your pathetic prior posts comparing the Tea Party arrests in Pissoli’s office was quite the stretch. I really laughed at that one. The more you post the less creditability you show.
I for one want you and your rabble out there preaching the Tenets of Marx and Alinsky. People should really know what you represent and then they can reflect on the mass murdering nation of North Korea and historical facts from Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.
So please fairy bug dont stop posting. Please attack us with silly half truth and smoke and mirror lies.
