Did I get the right link? You seemed to have a httphttp in yours so I looked it up.
The other link I posted is pretty darn good too. Give it a listen.

Angry

first of all; none of you are here. So please do not try to understand the situation. You do not. I have been to many protests over this issue. I have gone days w/o sleeping/bathing. YOu know nothing!!!
I AM that 99.9 percent! I have gone hungry. I have slept in the park. And now you fall victim to the media?? As my country struggles?? You are not here/ you do not know.

Pam.

Yes, very awesome, Classic. thanks again.

I would love to get the transcripts for both of those shows. They articulate so many of the pertinent issues that the OWS brings up.

Foremost is that so many of us were waiting for this kind of protest. Wanting it, hoping for it, but never believing it would happen. I feel like they are walking on a tightrope now. I hope they stay on.

As the weather changes I think they will dwindle in numbers.
When the spring comes around, it will be interesting to see what happens.
you're both welcome.

Ummmm.... I never said that, those are your words. Or maybe you support that dumbassed VP who repeatedly states that more women will be raped if we don't pass President Zero's Jobs Bill? Or are you clueless or worse ignorant about the issue?

Actually, no, I think welfare is a necessary evil of all civil societies, ours just happens to bread generations who learn to game the system.

This was especially good. Peter Schiff makes his point clearly and this seems like a typical protester.

Here is the whole interview if anyone cares.
