Can we rally them up and throw them on a boat to Cuba?

Man,
The media has SOOO distorted this awesome movement. I participate here in Denver and I tell you it's been a truly inspiring experience. I went down with my family the other week and it was great. Nothing like the media shows. nothing. So we get home and I was excited to see it on the news. What they showed was criminal. I did not see a riot cop ALL day and it was the only thing the media showed. Occupy is about taking the USA back from a corrupt government and especially the ultra corrupt corporations that are fucking each and every one of us. I have never seen an occupy position that would go against a thing that Republicans and Democrats support. Believe me, its no different than that idiot reporter who went to the supercross and called them all pot smoking thugs.
It just ain't true. Occupy is straight up and I hope some of the things they are fighting for come to reality because this country is the worst off it has ever been and sinking fast.
Thanks for reading,
Andy

Toss a bar of soap in the middle of the occupiers and watch them scatter.

Unfortunately your understanding of the movement is as misinformed as:
"You just sit there and turn the throttle".

I suspect your bias comes from the media portrayal of the movement.
The exact corporate owned media that the movement is calling out.

With all due respect, you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.

Before you say "you just sit there and turn the throttle", allow yourself to get educated.

I love the comparison to the "Twist the throttle" statement.

Not a single person has any idea about the movement because they have no leadership or plan.

A movement needs a leader, plan and people to follow for it to be of any success.

MxSportsMed.......IMHO you're right on! I will never understand the mentality of those who don't support the 99% movement; the movement that wants what is best for 99% of the population! It would even behoove the top 1% to support the 99% movement; afterall, who do you think the 1% got the majority of their money from? Why would anyone who lives paycheck to paycheck support the filthy rich in hopes that it will trickle down to them; something that Reagan proved didn't work, the first Bush proved didn't work and the second Bush too! What's the definition of insanity?

I hear that about 2 to 3 times a week and it's not the definition of insanity. You might want to check that.

We had an occupy group at my college.

They couldn't tell me what the plan was, every single person pretty much had a diffrent idea of what they had planned to accomplish and the general idea I picked up was simply that people got swept up in a delusion that they could accomplish something without any plan.

Great clip, Hank Thrill. Right on the money (so to speak)...

I guess you learned a lot about the Vietnam protests and what the government did to squash it:

Have the balls to read below.

An education goes a long way, unless you are one of these students...

The Kent State shootings—also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre[2][3][4]—occurred at Kent State University in the U.S. city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[5]

Some of the students who were shot had been protesting against the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon announced in a television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.[6][7]

There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of four million students,[8] and the event further affected the public opinion—at an already socially contentious time—over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[9]

Sherwood you read something into my post that's not there.........did I say what the definition of insanity is?......and of all things from my post to grab onto......what about the rest of my post? I'm guessing you are one of the 99% fooled into supporting the top 1%........but that's just a guess so don't misquote or misunderstand me.
BTW, I find it very unusual that 2 or 3 times a week someone feels the need to explain their idea of insanity to you....things that make you go humm!

That's the problem. Not a single person can tell you what it's REALLY about they point towards old war protests and the protests in the middle east, which are vastly different because they had a plan and leadership.

What's your definition of insanity? You said it didn't work with Bush or regean and then What's the definition of insanity?

You get it a lot when you work in psychology usually from people trying to be a smart ass.

In my opinion, those hippies at Kent state got an education.
