A flag burning in Oakland

[notundecided]

and you get all these post coming down on OWS.

Where were all the posts when OWS was raising the issues of income inequality, skyrocketing tuition costs, predatory lending and unfair tax policies?

You say OWS doesn't have a message. Go to a protest and read the fuckin signs. There's your message.

2. I Fully Support OWS

I fully support the OWS. If the GOP wins in November the American flag will be meaningless anyway. The GOP has done more damage to the country than Bin Laden ever could. They are economic terrorist and as bad as the Nazis. They want to kill the American people economically.

3. Never said they didn't have a message...

I (and others) said they didn't have a goal as to what they wanted to actually change.

Which has nothing to do with discussing the merits of either their protest tactics, or their choice of a leaderless structure which prevents them from seperating their organization from individuals who choose a more radical approach.

And as for your diatribe that OWS was ignored back in the Fall ("Where were all the posts when OWS was raising the issues of ...&quot , I would hazard a guess that you'll find hundreds. If you bothered to look.

5. A hundred or so groups of OWS and seventy different messages.

Makes it hard to be heard. Anyone can see that. Many choose not to.

7. Second Economic Bill Of Rights

Their message should be a Second Economic Bill Of Rights that was first brought up by Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 and refined by FDR in 1944.

8. Welcome to hipster progressivism

These are the same people who were stuffing their noses in the air about the fact homeless people were living in Zucotti park, too. They were blogging OWS before it was cool too, didn't you know, so they have authority to waggle their fingers and call for purges

9. They were all over DU2

and quite a few here on DU3. Why do so many people have a problem with DUers expressing an opinion on how Occupy conducts themselves? After all,they claim to represent us.

This isn't Occupy Underground. Even If it were, we'd still have the same arguments.

10. I think fucking signs is illegal ...

something about public indecency ...

and at least one of the signs has to be a legal citizen ...
