I'm thinking one of the main reasons the 1% is scared, they know
it's a real possibility they could end up like Henry Hill in "Goodfellas"...Just another schnook. All the "goodies" will be gone and they'll have to wait in line like everyone else. Many may prefer a witness protection program after it all comes out and yes, I think it will... Yep, they're identifying alright, the outlook is not good..

2. You are right we will know when they get scared, that is when
the real violence will start. They will embed some right wing agitators in the OWS movement to give them cause.

11. I agree; plus, they've already been trying. The fact that it's a global movement...
has to be SO very disconcerting to the 1%. I hope so at least.

I love a tweet going around, something to the effect: "Remember when The Tea Party Movement went global? Yeah, neither do I."

:rofl:

12. YES!!! I love it!
Thank you for that. I've been traveling out of the country and have had no news for a while (on a barge). That's great and so true!

4. They're not scared.
They're laughing like hell. OK, maybe not yet, but let's see what they do Election Night, 2012.

6. They'll do what they do every election night
sit their grinning because they hand picked the candidates and own the machines.

9. Election night?
When Americans of all races, interests, classes and values come together and choose between Coke/Pepsi - Crips/Bloods - D/R?

That night?

8. Then it's up to police/NG/AF to do like in Cairo.
Refuse to obey orders to kill.

10. I don't think they're scared, monmouth -- I think they can't fathom
that they will ever have to do without, that we will win, that we have any power.

I think they're blowing us off.

Assholes.
