Protests Gaining Traction

The NYT is giving voice to the new round of protest movements occurring throughout the world and right now on Wall Street with 'Occupy Wall Street.'

I could become a believer here because clearly nothing else is working and the ordinary person is not even in the political discussion really. The big deal in America right now is a high cost media war over increasing taxes on the elite rich, the little guy can't really see over the counter top.

NYT: As Scorn for Vote Grows, Protests Surge Around Globe
Economics have been one driving force, with growing income inequality, high unemployment and recession-driven cuts in social spending breeding widespread malaise.
Now before we put this thing to bed, take a look at how the New York Daily News is taking on the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests.

The low information conservative backlash sounds so familiar its almost comical. Truthfully, read the Daily News article below and pretend it was written by a very inside comedian trying to pull all the same old dumb strings in an effort to rally stupidity. Unfortunately, this thing is real.

The Daily News: Occupy Wall Street protesters are behaving like a bunch of spoiled brats
This bunch ought to get down on their knees in thanks that America's capitalist Founding Fathers saw fit to protect the privileges of the dumb and obnoxious along with everyone else.


They should also salute the NYPD and all its officers for paying diligent attention to ensuring that peace and harmony reign in their daze of rage.

We should be on our hands and knees thanking them? For what?

That writer's entire rap was a used cliche. If you get a chance read the shit storm of comments he got. People support the protestors.
