[bigdarryl]

ASSHOLE!!!!

[Gregorian]

1. Weak.

[lumpy]

2. Nixon referred to Vietnam war protesters as mobs.

Some things never change.

[jwirr]

3. Tweety is still living in the past. He is often on the gop side of things.

[lunatica]

4. Everyone knows they're the barbarians at the gates

How dare he call them a mob!

[Tutankhamun]

6. Barbarians need to...see my sig line

[bahrbearian]

9. Yes we are.

5. This story does point to one big fat political truth

If you don't clearly define yourself, your opponent will be only too glad to do it for you.

OWS has a rapidly closing window on being able to get a simple coherent message out there, or it risks further attacks by it's enemies. Maybe it needs a leader, the most successful social movements in recent history have all had one to speak eloquently for it.

13. so it is safe to say that Tweety has take the opposing position by defining in OWS

in terms that the political constituents can appreciate.

Thus, Tweety is an acknowledged enemy of those participating in OWS.

There was a time when the Tea Party was somewhat undefined. Tweety called them a "movment," a grassroots political force. Don't we know now what brand of politics Chrissy Matthews plays.

7. He's an asshole 99% of the time.

[and-justice-for-all]

8. Piss off...nt

10. I can't watch him anymore because he never lets his guests

answer his questions. He cuts them off and keeps spouting his own opinions. Some nights the guests seemed more like stage props than people.

12. that bit of spittle...is kind of strange too

but, I've digressed...

[Supersedeas]

11. the only politics that Tweety knows is the Gucci Gulch variety--ground roots make no sense to him

[Honeycombe8]

14. Come on. You're being too sensitive. That's what a lot of people think of...

when there's a "group" or "gang" or loosely connected people, en masse, protesting something in a more or less disorganized way (as opposed to a union protest, where a group of people shows up with similar signs, and they take turns walking a certain route, etc.).

15. millionaire Boomer pundits will never understand

why working class youth are fed up about the state of the world that is being left to them
