I think the main reason Republicans and Fox "News" are freaking out over the OWS protests

[Tony_FLADEM]

is that many of the people protesting are white. The Republicans usually when elections because a majority of whites tend to vote for them. If these protests were mostly minorities protesting I don't think they would care. You have a diverse group of people protesting including whites and this is what has caught their attention.

1. Probably that too... I think what scares them is OWS's influence on UNITING

what FOX news tries so hard in dividing.

2. Exactlly!!

They keep us divided for a reason, we are easier to control. If a large amount of us united they are doomed. They divide us by party, race, wealth, etc. they are scared of losing this.

3. Some wise person said yesterday that the tea baggers don't want to see redistribution

of wealth to the 'lazy poor' while OWS doesn't want to see redistribution of wealth to the rich. Yesterday and the day before the GOP were blaming ACORN for OWS. A blatant attempt to paid the movement poor & black. Seems the 'southern strategy' is alive and well in the GOP, scapegoating people as always.

5. If these were minorities we'd see the recreation of the civil rights police action

At least this time they don't have attack dogs and water cannons... yet.
