In reply to the discussion: Occupy vs the Anti-Social Justice Movement [View all]
OWS has withered into near irrelevance.
Lol, and that is what the far right has been saying since September 17th, 2011. Why would anyone want to play into their rhetoric, especially since, as usual, they have been proven to have been so wrong?
OWS gets a kick out of those predictions. I remember on the first weekend, all the right wing blowhards on their noise machine were convinced that it would not last beyond that weekend. Then, a couple of days later there were 30,000 people on the streets in NYC, when the Unions joined them, not even a weekend, a workday, and heads exploded all over the right wing blogosphere and they had to come up with a different talking point because not only did more people join them, it began to spread across the country.
It's never a good idea to go with anything the right wing predicts or the MSM who joined them. They make stuff up and just put it out there and hope some of it will stick.
Fyi, OWS never intended to still be here. They expected to last at most, one month. So as of now, with all they are doing each day, they have far exceeded their own goals.

Cop-out. Most subjects are divisive, most that are not aren't going to drive any dialog.

I think we've hit on the problem, neither party has consistently advocated for us in our history.
