Keep the Shiny side up




Isn't Adbusters one of the groups behind the whole Occupy movement?

Nice, don't get the response you like in one thread, start a new one to belabour the same dumb-ass point.

You're more like Rappy every day.

Yes, Adbusters was actually involved in STARTING the OWS movement. We're not democrats, we have almost as many problems with Obama and the Dems in Congress as we do with those on the right. I assume you thought otherwise...and either haven't heard or didn't pay attention to the demonstrations against those on the left? This about sums it up:

So, when the TEA party folks claim " we're not Republicans ", you'll buy that, and not dismiss it out of hand ?

...Different? Apparently they have some kind of weird method of measurement that doesn't factor in cause and effect.

So when the chairman of the Republican Party compares Pres. Obama to the captain of the Costa Concordia, "There are no words", but when Adbusters protrays him as a clown, and prints quotes comparing him to Tweedle Dum (or Tweedle Dee), you have no problem with it. Seems a bit hypocritical.

I thought Occupy supported direct democracy. Or do you mean you're not Democrats?

Magazines print all sorts of things; for ME, that's different than going on the news or giving a press conference and making such a statement. I should get pissed at MAD Magazine for a cartoon on its cover? Good gawd, if we got pissed at every time some rag made a crack...well, it would be a waste of time. But Priebus supposedly represents his party, speaks for them; to me that's different. You're beginning to sound like a dog with a bone; I'm really tired of the circular nature of this "discussion" (using the term very loosely), so I think I'll give it a pass from now on.

And yes, I meant "Democrats"...most are independents, tho' yes most are liberals, and there are no doubt few if any "Republicans" represented. My point was that OWS has problems with both sides, that's all.
