http://gothamist.com/2011/10/01/breaking.... Gawker's Adrian Chen, who is also down there, wrote, "****, they're shutting down the brooklyn bridge," and also tweeted a picture of the Brooklyn-bound lane completely blocked. We'll update as we hear more about what's going on by the bridge.

About 100 cars were left stuck as the loud, angry crowd covered the span from end to end in yet another day of demonstrations against high unemployment, bank bailouts and economic uncertainty for the masses.

As for Anonymous reaching out to the Tea Party, well...

**** the Tea Party, lol. They are now part of the problem, IMO. It isn't even what it WAS ... Co-opted

This is FSA at this point.

-Brooklyn Bridge Shutdown -"I work my ass off all day, and these ******ned hippies close down the Brooklyn Bridge so I can't get home?"

Seattle: The local protest at Westlake Park Saturday morning was one of dozens echoing across the country in response to weeks-long protests in New York City by a youth movement called Occupy Wall Street.

Like those in New York, Seattle protesters were largely young. A few wore dollar bills taped across their mouths.

A group called "Occupy LA" organized the massive protest. The group is modeled after the "leaderless resistance movement" Occupy Wall Street. The New York-based group is holding a demonstration there and has shut down the Brooklyn Bridge by mobbing it.

The Los Angeles protesters met in Pershing Square Saturday morning before walking to City Hall, momentarily causing minor traffic delays along Broadway. The event has drawn honks from passing motorists and no arrests.

Revolution - coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

"Well, I'm out here to raise hope for education and income pretty much. Education is the only way to prevent poverty. So that is why I'm out here today: To lend a helping hand to the community," said one march participant.

So THAT's why we're screwed: not enough money spent on Education. If ONLY we had spent another few grand per kid per yr, then Glass-Steagal would still be in place and there would be no such thing as SPV's and CDO's. This jackass doesn't know WHAT kids should be taught to make society better, only that "MORE MONEY!" be spent on teaching.

This is very effective b/c NOTHING*****es of a Wall Street CEO more than having some working class folk spending more time in traffic /sarcasm

If they're trying to enlist the avg working guy, this ain't the way to do it.

Bohemian, I totally agree the tea party went from a great movement for change to being a mouthpiece for the banks, **** em!

Bull****; it's yet another communist front pumped by "International ANSWER".

http://www.answercoalition.org/la/

You people are such rubes. It took me five ****ing seconds to track it down on Google -- it's as easy as "[name of group] + communist", and see what bubbles up.

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Occupy....

The M.O. of fronts like these has been unchanged for eighty years: co-opt a legitimate grievance for socialist purposes.

Many TF'ers would agree that the Tea Party was co-opted and I don't feel like the Anonymous statement targets any group here, but I think they are wrong in how they associate racism with a particular political party. It's incendiary and they wouldn't do it with one of the major two parties... or would they?

The big question is who or what is large enough to co-opt the 'leaderless resistance movement'?

Seems like Bez has an answer while I was asking my question.

50 arrested, more expected.

Ponzi, who do you usually hear say "THE TEA PARTY IS RACIST!?"

Typical Lefty tactic used to shut down debate.

Currently, we live under a Banker kleptocracy that seeks to keep us tied to the various debt-schemes that they operate. They are being challenged by the Occupy Wall Street Socialists, who if they win will have us live as subjects under an all encompassing Big Gov't complete with all the social programs necessary to achieve "Social Justice." Of course we'll be forced to pay for it with our time and labor.

What you're seeing here is your current slave-owners being challenged by your would-be future slave-owners.

Holy ****, why don't some of you neo-cons just go to a protest and carry a 'reinstate Glass-Steagall' sign and educate some people.

Face it, the right ****ed up ... and now everyone wants to call em commies and anti-capitalists. No ****, well, as Steph has said 10000000 freaking times, we haven't had capitalism in the good ol' USA for years. It's feeding banksters and bought off politicians on both sides, and their message - although somewhat twisted - carries that. Yes, Van Jones is there, yes, so is Michael Moore. Why? Because the so-called 'right' doesn't wanna play. ****ing protests in 77 US cities and all I hear is "FSA this', FSA that ... Yeah, and the 70-year ladies who lost their homes in Boston, carted off by police - COMMIES, right? No, just people*****ed off at banksters.

Stop the labels. It serves no purpose, IMO.

Defend a cocksucking bankster - any of you - I dare you. I'll call you a commmie.

We've haven't had Capitalism for yrs, so we cheer on Socialists as the solution?

There is nothing Neo-Con about my criticism of the Socialists. They are not the solution. In fact much of the banker BS we've had has actually enabled the Big Gov't that these Socialists love so much. The Fed bamkers gives money to the Primary Dealer bankers and the banks themselves and they in turn lend in to the .gov to fund the ever-growing reach of the fed gov't.

WE AT TF ALL KNOW THAT! We advocate for the end of this arrangement knowing full well that this means the economy will contract and the amount of gov't spending will fall. IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK THESE PROTESTERS ARE ADVOCATING??? These protesters would go ape-**** if what we here at TF advocated actually happened! They want "more education spending" blah blah blah. That should be one of many clues that they are not on the same page as we are.

**** the banksters.

Meanwhile, 400 arrested in NY: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44735359/ns/....

Quote:

"Does anyone really not know what the basic message is of this protest: that Wall Street is oozing corruption and criminality and its unrestrained political power -- in the form of crony capitalism and ownership of political institutions -- is destroying financial security for everyone else?"

The desire to form a more coherent agenda was evident around the 13th day of the occupation, with sentiment in the encampment generally split along two lines: those who want the protest to remain amorphous and to grow through spectacle; and those who want to draft focused demands about wealth disparity.

Ripe for commie co-opt.

See below for what the commies are*****ed about ... Gee, could it be the same thing we've been saying?

Yea. The resistance is divided. We can't agree on anything except our hatred for the pigs in power.
