So OWS has reached our elected officials with their message and the message has been understood at the highest levels of our government. That is quite an achievement for a movement that is only in its infancy at this point. And they've changed their language to the language of the people. Obama has used OWS framing in some of his speeches.
The Democratic NY State US Attorney has met with OWS and thanked them publicly for supporting him in his fight against the pressure to 'make a deal' with the banks.
So what is your point? Like other disgruntled, anti-Social Justice movement individuals I've met online, not many on Democratic sites though where OWS has huge support, your point is not clear at all.
Why do some people always fear it when the people utilize their 1st Amendment rights to demand equal rights for all people? Every single time in history there has been a movement like this, and this movement was modeled after other Social Justice Movements, there are always those who try to discredit them.
