Displaying 2,941 To 2,970 Of 16,275 Comments 😆 Cher, I did remember our discussion on the 2010 voter turnout (funny how senility affects me and memory)and I think we ended up agreeing to disagree. » Posted By bito On October 21, 2011 @ 12:29 am Em, as much as I would like to agree, “Survey Says”…. Dems didn’t so much stay at home any more than usual (except for the ‘youth vote) as R’s were more energized and worked harder on the GOTV on a mid term election. Voters are famous for not voting on mid-terms and Dems tend to be worse. I know Cher will disagree with me 😉 but I stand with the PolSci people at the Monkey Cage. Best hashtag on twitter right now and needs to be until November is #occupyavotingbooth » Posted By bito On October 20, 2011 @ 11:24 pm Thanks WW, Now I remember that anti-SLAPP motion, that was laughable. Like me Sherrod is a big corporation and he is this poor little fellow because she worked for ‘Big Government.’ He didn’t defame government, he defamed her personally. » Posted By bito On October 19, 2011 @ 4:23 pm j’avaz, I believe it is still proceeding, Breitbart tried to have it dismissed but the judge smacked him down. I haven’t heard much about it lately, perhaps someone else has. » Posted By bito On October 19, 2011 @ 3:56 pm WW, interesting and a bit funny, I thought. » Posted By bito On October 19, 2011 @ 3:07 pm Update: Citibank Protester Talks About Undercover Infiltration In Occupy Wall Street Well, this is sort of a scary story: Marshall Garrett, one of the protesters who was arrested during Saturday’s Occupy Wall Street march for trying to hold a General Assembly in Citibank, told the Village Voice what went down that day. Apparently a plainclothed cop had been very well informed of the situation ahead of time and hidden himself in the crowd. […] How did you know he was an undercover cop? He arrested one of the protestors outside, and slammed her into the wall, and pushed her back into the bank. We all saw him at the precinct with us. He was laughing with the fellow white shirt cops, telling them about what we’d been saying, basically. It was a bit startling how inside their information was – how they were being paid to go to these protests and put us in situations where we’d be arrested and not be able to leave. » Posted By bito On October 19, 2011 @ 12:57 pm Funny short blog from Matt Taibbi. My only question is how will even know when Rush has completely lost it? Why Rush Limbaugh Is Freaking Out About Occupy Wall Street » Posted By bito On October 18, 2011 @ 8:00 pm WW, It may seem that I am just be one of those “kneejerk-commie-liberal-reactionaries, but from what I have read, seen and heard from the “Oath Keepers” is not my idea of a civilized society. I put them in the different columns on the same page as “Anonymous” and the “die-hard anarchists.” While I support their support and defense of the First Amendment, their “Freeman” and armed militarism causes me concern. » Posted By bito On October 18, 2011 @ 4:45 pm Reminds me of a comment I read/heard yesterday WW, “change is not progressive.” Their ideal of an unfettered “free market” capitalism and libertarianism would certainly be change, now wouldn’t it? While I like their support for free speech, I feel that they would be one of the first groups to turn against it if they disagreed with it. Odd that the “Oath Keepers” want a smaller Government when they all have received government benefits in one way or another. » Posted By bito On October 18, 2011 @ 3:06 pm Interesting Sabreen, but I really do question the methodology on how the survey was conducted and using Mr.Bloomberg’s pollster with conclusions made by a WSJ ‘reporter?’ Edit: Maybe I’m not as dumb as I look.

The Senate is comprised of 100 very strong and large ego’s each one thinking that they could be president and while I didn’t like to see Jon Tester not voting for the bill, it wouldn’t have mattered if they did. ZERO Reeps voted for the bill, 100% of them voted to not even to allow it to be debated and receive an up or down vote. Not even 10 Republicans could find it in them to vote for the country and instead voted for the party. That is the disgrace, not the two Dems. The spineless ones sit on the right side of the chamber. » Posted By bito On October 17, 2011 @ 2:36 pm KT, I am not surprised at this at all and the tactics that they can utilize today may make the COINTELPRO tactics look like child play. Remember that “60 Minutes” segment that Adlib posted on? They can see what brand of cigarette your smoking from those NYPD helicopters. The electronic eavesdropping of today is thousands of times better/worse than ever, so this does not shock me a bit. The only reason this was revealed was from “user error.” On the Government vs Corporate spying, I think that corporate spying is more nefarious and rampant. » Posted By bito On October 16, 2011 @ 2:11 pm C’Lady I was betting (myself 🙂 ) that you knew some of those people and I won! I have had 3 of my local banks sold out to larger interstate banks and they had no problem changing my accounts (without my consent or knowledge). As you say it does take some time and effort, but it’s not that difficult. Actually they did me a favor sending me back to a Credit Union, which I have stayed with for many years. This is part 1 of a OWS press conference held by the Interfaith Community, poor sound, but love the words and the “Golden Calf” stage center.

This is not what I was looking for, but it is quite moving. Again the the Faith Community got little to zero coverage. The four-day “October 2011” event — “Human Needs, Not Corporate Greed!” — had been in the works since April, but organizers quickly teamed up with the Occupy movement — which has spread to cities across the United States since a small band of protesters took up residence in a park near Wall Street in New York on Sept. 17. Occupy D.C. protesters have been rallying daily along the K Street corridor — long a bastion for Washington lobbyists. After Thursday’s rally, scores of protesters in a line stretching four city blocks paraded past the U.S. Treasury and the White House, chanting, “We got sold out,” and ringing cowbells and pounding drums. They ended up massing along H Street Northwest in front of the heavy carved door of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, chanting, “We want jobs! We want jobs!” They then unfurled a banner that read “Chamber of Corporate Horrors” and left a symbolic sheaf of job applications and resumes behind. http://blog.sojo.net/2011/10/07/occupy-d-c-october-6-2011/ Just some more dirty hippies without a message.

The faith community also had a large part in the Occupy DC movement, was it covered? Only on the Intertubes. The fact that the Grey Panthers are at #OWS goes unnoticed as are the many veterans participating. Some more dirty hippies and anarchists: » Posted By bito On October 16, 2011 @ 10:53 am Cool!

Meet the Guy Who Snitched on Occupy Wall Street to the FBI and NYPD But WTF? As part of their intelligence-gathering operation, the group gained access to a listserv used by Occupy Wall Street organizers called September17discuss. On September17discuss, organizers hash out tactics and plan events, conduct post-mortems of media appearances, and trade the latest protest gossip. On Friday, Ryan leaked thousands of September17discuss emails to conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is now using them to try to smear Occupy Wall Street as an anarchist conspiracy to disrupt global markets. I can understand FBI surveillance and infiltration, it was expected, but what are they doing giving it to BrightFart? FBI or corporate snitch? http://gawker.com/5850054/meet-the-guy-who-snitched-on-occupy-wall-street-to-the-fbi-and-nypd » Posted By bito On October 15, 2011 @ 10:05 pm Youse guys have my fingers numb tweeting all your updates!

Remember that a 5-10-15 vote in any given precinct can change a vote for a legislative seat (both state and federal) and if one compounds that for a presidential vote. Karl Rove know this, why don’t we?
My mission is to get 10 non-voters registered, to vote and turn 5 voters from R to D.
So far I have have 1 turned R to D and 1 non registered to registered and I have just started!
To me any comparison to disillusioned main stream Republicans with them is like comparing a back-yard birthday party to a Las Vegas million dollar bash.
Perhaps my tent isn’t as big as yours.
Reading through the Q&A, I don’t see how it possibly supports the headline (not news.) Am I missing something?

Doug Schoen came to several conclusions about #OWS that are not supported by his own survey. Intellectual dishonesty. bit.ly/qryjej
200 TP’s vote in a SC straw ballot, now that gets coverage, the faith communities being involved in concrete and direct action withe the Occupy Movement, doesn’t. Dirty hippies (get a job) and anarchists is easier to say with no proof) than to say “mainstream inter-faith communities, I guess, even with actual proof.
I stand with my community! No more stolen homes. Enough! Basta!
As Occupy Wall Street protests continue, a San Jose grassroots group takes different route
http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19100787
In the video he says our problems aren’t recent, they go back 2-3-4 years ago.
I think he may have showed his true color there as a conservative Republican with his ignoring the the deregulations of the financial sector since the time of St. Ronnie and just blaming the last year of PGWB and the 3 years of PBO.
