Seriously, if you're going post stories here about Occupy, check your source because there has been and will be a lot of bullshit.

Pro-liars promote inequality and should be shouted down. The condoms were a bit too much I agree. REP Feb 2012 #2

But, why Occupy? pintobean Feb 2012 #9

Maybe some might to be with the OWS. They might just be looking for trouble and want the OWS southernyankeebelle Feb 2012 #31

You don't understand Occupy. morningfog Feb 2012 #143

And how do we know they were really in OWS? xfundy Feb 2012 #3

Occupy Providence planned it and has a Facebook link up about it Yo_Mama Feb 2012 #24

No one disputes that they held a Pro Choice rally to counter an Anti Choice rally. Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #135

From what I can see...OWS doesn't need much help looking bad. n/t vaberella Feb 2012 #139

The No True Scotsman Network says they weren't with OWS AngryAmish Feb 2012 #147

That's why so many people were telling Occupy to get a manifesto. napoleon_in_rags Feb 2012 #4

You mean, this kind of thing like spreading Faux News all over EFerrari Feb 2012 #14

I don't understand, are you saying this is fake news? napoleon_in_rags Feb 2012 #79

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. EFerrari Feb 2012 #86

It's almost surprising there wasn't napoleon_in_rags Feb 2012 #99

This is bullshit. Vattel Feb 2012 #10

you have people in this very thread eating this up like sugar-coated dog crap frylock Feb 2012 #29

By the way, even I exaggerated the incident by saying "they." Vattel Feb 2012 #68

As opposed to the corollary... eating sugar cubes with a crusty-coating of dog crap. LanternWaste Feb 2012 #170

What DU needs is a Mass Media 101 forum. n/t EFerrari Feb 2012 #37

LOL. tabasco Feb 2012 #58

Every single one. Go do it. EFerrari Feb 2012 #59

Um, we check the sourcing of a story? EFerrari Feb 2012 #35

I'm different because I consider the source MNBrewer Feb 2012 #160

Do you have a valid source for this? Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #12

Business Insider has been used as a source here pintobean Feb 2012 #15

do you think this article is good? Enrique Feb 2012 #20

Business Insider is not the source. girl gone mad Feb 2012 #100

This is what the Faux News story is meant to cover up: EFerrari Feb 2012 #13

Keep reading from your own source pintobean Feb 2012 #16

And? EFerrari Feb 2012 #19

And that's bad, how? Are people's needs going to be attended to as a result of Occupy? sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #111

You've used this source several times. pintobean Feb 2012 #22

This message was self-deleted by its author nadinbrzezinski Feb 2012 #25

No, you've used Business Insider as a source pintobean Feb 2012 #32

Actually not worth it nadinbrzezinski Feb 2012 #62

pintobean, don't feel bad. EFerrari Feb 2012 #27

Business Insider is a content farm Enrique Feb 2012 #34

This is the new DU, huh? woo me with science Feb 2012 #21

As of now, this post has ZERO recs Cali_Democrat Feb 2012 #60

Since we no longer have a down vote Ichingcarpenter Feb 2012 #122

No way that this story passes the smell test. This reeks of disinformation. n/t Joe Shlabotnik Feb 2012 #26

Reeks of a truthline. That the people who inspired this action were real Occupyers. applegrove Feb 2012 #53

Please don't misunderstand. When I say you are a "tool", I don't mean Bonobo Feb 2012 #28

I used to think all that cointelpro stuff was in the same class of nonsense as sudopod Feb 2012 #80

COINTELPRO is well documented backscatter712 Feb 2012 #98

I wouldn't alert on that pintobean Feb 2012 #49

You still aren't perhaps just a wee bit uncertain about your op? Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #52

Well sure pintobean Feb 2012 #61

You have no idea at all what happened and your source is a pile of rw crap. Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #63

I'm not wondering anything like that. pintobean Feb 2012 #67

And that page shows the Pro Choice rally. Are you accusing them of holding a Pro Choice Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #70

And it doesn't support anything in your OP. EFerrari Feb 2012 #77

The OP is not my words pintobean Feb 2012 #81

LOL! "They were there" is a far cry from EFerrari Feb 2012 #89

You seem to have some serious comprehention problems. pintobean Feb 2012 #91

It's not comprehension problems. Kaleko Feb 2012 #125

No, there's nothing wrong with my comprehension EFerrari Feb 2012 #169

The OP is the work of Michael Brendan Dougherty Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #92

classic Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #140

Your source article extensively quotes a RW anti-choice leader suffragette Feb 2012 #83

Homeless have a place to go, now. Is the significance of that lost on the OP? (nt) (nr) T S Justly Feb 2012 #33

It is and that's a shame. Anything to smear OWS, I suppose. SammyWinstonJack Feb 2012 #152

sound like bullshit to me! gopiscrap Feb 2012 #36

Wow - a hit piece with extensive quotes from an anti-choice "executive director of Rhode Island suffragette Feb 2012 #40

Posting that fable in your OP? tkmorris Feb 2012 #119

Oh c'mon, like no posers have ever figured out how to stage political theater? patrice Feb 2012 #54

Check the 2nd link in the OP pintobean Feb 2012 #64

That link shows photos of a pro-choice rally. None of the crap in your OP is shown Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #66

"Occupy Providence counter protests the 'right to life' rally" pintobean Feb 2012 #69

Why? Women are not the 99%? You are in charge of what others do with their Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #74

lol. pintobean Feb 2012 #75

Yeah, I'm sure you are laughing as the entire DU community tells you you and your Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #82

I wasn't trying to be rude pintobean Feb 2012 #87

you're getting your ass kicked up and down this thread.. frylock Feb 2012 #94

Really? pintobean Feb 2012 #96

keep digging, sport.. frylock Feb 2012 #175

Yes I can tell that you are rolling your eyes and feeling as though you 'won' this thread Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #97

I don't think I've won anything pintobean Feb 2012 #101

You've allowed your hatred for OWS to cloud your judgement and reason. girl gone mad Feb 2012 #109

I don't hate ows pintobean Feb 2012 #110

Ok. Here is what one of the signs held by the Anit Choice group you are promoting Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #134

Where did I defend and promote any such thing? pintobean Feb 2012 #136

You defend the post and the author and the source up and down this thread. Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #163

Access to safe and effective birth control AND abortions has quite a bit to do with economic Luminous Animal Feb 2012 #78

So, do you have no problem with pro choice rallys or do you think EFerrari Feb 2012 #85

Did you actually read the post you replied to? pintobean Feb 2012 #90

So, you think it's stupid for Occupy to publicly defend women's rights? EFerrari Feb 2012 #171

Initially the intent of the Tea Party was one thing, and it was co-opted by the religious fringe and Broderick Feb 2012 #172

I don't know where you get the idea OWS is morphing into a Dem group. EFerrari Feb 2012 #173

I am not disagreeing with you at all. I totally agree. Broderick Feb 2012 #174

the truth starts to emerge Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #137

How does any of that prove that this was an action that achieved consensus in an Occupy GA? patrice Feb 2012 #102

Wow, that 'article' you link to is a one sided anti-choice hit piece. Disgusting Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #65

It is amazing that this sort of distortion is tolerated. Vattel Feb 2012 #73

Whatever. I'm still part of the 99%. I don't give a fuck what they did or didn't do. lonestarnot Feb 2012 #71

I will continue to support Occupy's ideals (ending inequality) boxman15 Feb 2012 #84

No, they haven't. This story is bullshit. Read the thread EFerrari Feb 2012 #88

Precisely. Summer Hathaway Feb 2012 #108

It surely is a crying shame. Kaleko Feb 2012 #118

Wow! Summer Hathaway Feb 2012 #120

Don't hesitate. Kaleko Feb 2012 #121

Edifying? Summer Hathaway Feb 2012 #123

Does that mean you won't spread Kaleko Feb 2012 #126

I see, and you're welcome. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #162

And they "smelled bad", to boot! Warren DeMontague Feb 2012 #129

low and disgusting. revolting post, really. inna Feb 2012 #132

I alerted also. Didn't even get an acknowledgement. I'm not familiar with how the alert sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #178

This isn't what Occupy is all about & I call b.s. on whoever is peddling those pacalo Feb 2012 #133

The right wing headline is actually funny. Who do you have to be to not get that EFerrari Feb 2012 #142

This blurb is quite questionable, with no sources to back it up..... marmar Feb 2012 #146

I'm saddened to see this type of slanted article on DU Marrah_G Feb 2012 #149

The Anti Choice group quoted in the OP held signs saying 'Defund Planned Parenthood' Bluenorthwest Feb 2012 #164

I guess that's okay now, to post far right anti-choice people on DU. I alerted on this thread sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #177
