Why am I seeing...
conservatives breaking their ankles trying to jump on the "occupy" bandwagon?

I've had more than one tonight try and convince me that they've been a HUGE part of it from the beginning. :eyes:

Fuckers can't do anything for themselves. There was no grassroots teabaggers it was bought...and now they're gonna try and claim this.

3. other sites...
here's one...

You are not paying attention. A perfect crosscut of our society is represented at these protests. All walks of Americans are protesting, young, old, poor, wealthy, liberals, conservatives, socialists, unions, all types of angry Americans.

You would be foolish to shove your head in sand and ignore this. Unlike you, Obama will blame this on George W. Bush.


another:

These protests are Proof that Obama is an ineffective leader. Obama is not a leader at all.

The Financial Reform bill is a Farce.

ObamaCare is a Farce.

Obama didn't even want to protect our borders.

These protests are about Obama's FAILURES.; Hopefully the protestors will eventually realize what the real problem is:" OBAMA.


You know Obama is going to be in a pickle. He is not paying attention but eventually Obama will be responsible for setting policy on how to deal with Americans out in the streets protesting. His community organizer skills will be of no avail, he has problem, he cannot encourage these protests, he has to put on a lid on this and no matter what Obama does, he will look really bad. My prediction is Obama will bungle this like everything else he does.

This might be the last coffin nail for his presidency.

These are from Politico http://dyn.politico.com/members/forums/thread.cfm?catid=1&subcatid=53&threadid=5981098&start=1&CurrentPage=1

There are more on other threads there, but this is the gist, some are much worse. There are some conservatives that don't want to be associated with this. But I see a trend, now that this is picking up coverage they want in and they want control. Watch the right wing sites the next 24-48 hours, the spin that they've been a part of this from the beginning will start to snowball until they claim all credit.

it seems now that this has grown the agenda is to make it about liberals/dems/and Obama...while I don't disagree that some are upset with some things Obama has done...it seems they want to make this another "tea party" thing.

4. The "occupy" movement has to defne itself sharply or someone else will do it
It appears to be starting.
