It was bizarre to watch people so quickly buy into the smears against ACORN when they first surfaced. It was bizarre to watch people cling to them even after it became clear that they were nasty smears being spread by obvious racists. It is beyond surreal to see people still grasping onto them as THE ENEMY.

No, not really. Bill Ayers really was once legitimately an extremist. ACORN has never been anything other than a group that does voter registration and legal aid and other things to benefit minorities.

The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed "leaderless" Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing "guerrilla" protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities, sources tell FoxNews.com.

These are people who will go through long, convoluted paths to connect anything deemed "liberal" and thus "dangerous" as being either funded by or directly benefiting George Soros. All that matters is that they can scream "ACORN!" and the ignorant masses will predictably break out into a frothing rage and attack.

REVEALED: Occupy Wall Street's Possible Ties to ACORN
New questions are being raised about the role ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.
• Get the Shocking Details
Shocking!
New questions are being raised [By FOX!] about the role ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.
Eric Shawn reports that a FoxNews.com exclusive investigation reveals that protesters may have help in planning demonstrations and determining strategy from veteran activists who worked for ACORN.
Jon Kest, a former ACORN official who now runs the group “NY Communities for Change,” recently wrote on the group’s blog:
“The levels of inequity in this country, and in New York especially are out of hand – and no one knows that more than the working families that make up the members of New York communities for change that’s why I’m excited to announce that New York communities for change and many of our allies in community organizing and labor will be showing our support for OCCUPYWALLSTREET.
It's almost like unlimited corporate soft money!

Why, it's almost as if when ACORN was disbanded, the people went on to find other jobs in similar areas! Why weren't they all shot out of hand? After all, it was proved that they were engaged in the high crime of signing up black people to vote, and you know black people are all racists because Obama got elected.

Targetpractice Thu, Oct 27, 2011 1:36:47pm |
It's like so much else, ACORN is just the latest on the list of "reasons" that OWS is being artificially created/manipulated by shadowy forces towards dire ends. For some, it's impossible to believe that these protests could be "spontaneous" and so must be organized by somebody with an agenda. And since it's an "anti-capitalist" movement, they're going after the usual suspects whose agendas they desire to burn to the ground and salt the earth.

House GOP’s ‘Job Creating’ Spending Cuts Destroyed 370,000 Jobs
House Republicans took the government to the brink of shutdown last spring by demanding across-the-board budget cuts to many vital programs. Instead of focusing on job creation, as Americans wanted them to, the GOP turned its attention to slashing funds for programs that funded assistance for women and children, local law enforcement, the social safety net, environmental protections, and many other programs they deemed as either too expensive or unnecessary. Worse, when challenged on why they hadn’t made the effort to tackle high unemployment, Republicans insisted that their slash-and-burn budget cuts were meant to create jobs.
Not all of those cuts made it through, but the GOP succeeded in passing massive spending reductions as part of a continuing resolution that kept the government operating. According to a new report from the Center for American Progress’ Scott Lilly, those cuts didn’t result in the job creating boon Republicans insisted would follow. Instead, it has done just the opposite, as those cuts will result in the destruction of roughly 370,000 jobs.

Iraq War veteran assaulted by Oakland PD upgraded from critical condition to fair condition.
I think some of the protesters are looking for revenge. This could get ugly.
The majority has supported nonviolence, and many are frustrated that some in the crowd threw bottles and paint at police. But some protesters favoring aggression are determined to continue the tactic. At the heart of the debate is what message the movement wants to project and in what way.
...Occupy Oakland protester Casey Jones, 28, wore a T-shirt Wednesday reading "thrash and burn," and skateboarded up and down Broadway yelling, "Bring it on!"
"I'm all about the riot - we need to be violent," he said. "We need more numbers. We'll just keep marching on."

If it becomes more of a fad, it's going to screw any chance of keeping this going for a sustained period.

re: #88 NJDhockeyfan
Protests in the Berkeley/Oakland area have lately had a tendency to turn violent. Reports about "violent anarchists" are probably as reliable as Fox News discussing Acorn, but it seems to be a smaller group of hardcore SOMETHINGS that are causing the problem. "The nihilist youth" would be my cliche of choice.

I do too. Not all cops are saints, mistakes and overreactions will happen but it's clear that more than just a few protesters want to cause violence because they think the imagery of police brutality helps their cause. The cops don't deserve to be treated like that.

I really don't think it's that well thought out.
I kind of assumed that bottles were getting chucked at the police. Bottles got chucked at the police when I was in Times Square in 1998, too.
The individual cops I always have sympathy for-- except the ones like the out of control idiot that pepper-sprayed those girls in NYC, or the idiot who flashbanged the guy who was already down. But again, the Oakland PD allowed them to set up these tents, allowed them to entrench, and then decided to roust them, aggressively. This a stupid, inchaote policy which is what I'd expect from a Bay Area police department.
And now they're letting them back in, and then they're going to roust them again, yadda yadda.

Hold onto your butts, because we found something shocking amongst the GOP presidential candidates: One that thinks a Confederate license plate is a bad thing.
Rick Perry comes out against Confederate flag license plate
On Wednesday, Perry broke his silence on the issue and said in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa's Bay 9 News that he opposes the measure—an opinion that could very well shape the vote since the DMV board are all Perry appointees.
"That's just a part of history . . . . You don't need to scrape that wound again," Perry said. "It just doesn't need to happen."
But Perry's position could come back to haunt him in South Carolina, a key presidential primary state that has embraced its Confederate history and has approved its own license plate featuring the Confederate flag.

You forgot #11: Become (more) vegetarian. No lamb or beef especially. Eat less processed food and more locally-grown organic food. Lobby your local farmers to adopt methods of planting that don't involve plowing.
Poor farming practices and our American diet have big impacts on AGW that could, in theory, be quite easily altered.

The city bent over backwards trying to accommodate the protesters and held daily meetings with them about sanitation and public safety issues. There were at least 3 serious incidents in the camp when protesters were injured (one man was so badly beaten that his friends went to the morgue looking for him) and medical crews were not allowed in the camp to help the victims. They had every chance to be accommodated but the city can't just let people get stabbed, beaten and die because it might interrupt these douchebags' drum circle. The protesters should not have been allowed back into the park but the city is now afraid to do anything. It's a mess.

I don't see the point really. I mean if OWS become all about confronting the police it will only dilute and distort the message. This is highly the case in Oakland. In NYC things are seemingly back under control. OWS isn't about the cops. It never should have been about the cops. They should have just left the area when the cops requested and returned during daylight. Or they could have worked with the city to find another location. I am pretty sure that most of the protesters have either homes or apartment for which they could return.
It's still just a small fraction of what has now turned into a worldwide movement. I won't judge OWS based on what happened in Oakland anymore than I would judge football fan on Oakland raiders fans.

24 billion could feed lots of starving people.

I think there needs to be an oil CEO shackled before congress and given life inprisonment in a labor camp or made to work for UNICEF or cleaning up their environmental disaster. Maybe then they will think twice about what they are doing.

re: #153 Gus 802
Wallace was a badass.
In 1943, Wallace made a goodwill tour of Latin America, shoring up support among important allies. His trip proved a success, and helped persuade twelve countries to declare war on Germany. Regarding trade relationships with Latin America, he convinced the BEW to add "labor clauses" to contracts with Latin American producers. These clauses required producers to pay fair wages and provide safe working conditions for their employees and committed the United States to paying for up to half of the required improvements. This met opposition from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
And when he was wrong, he admitted it.
In 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea, Wallace broke with the Progressives and backed the U.S.-led war effort in the Korean War. In 1952, Wallace published Where I Was Wrong, in which he explained that his seemingly-trusting stance toward the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin stemmed from inadequate information about Stalin's excesses and that he, too, now considered himself an anti-Communist. He wrote various letters to "people who he thought had traduced (maligned) him" and advocated the re-election of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.
And this is more true than ever:
Wallace commented that "there is a long chain that links unknown young hoodlums in North Carolina or Alabama with men in finely tailored business suits in the great financial centers of New York or Boston, men who make a dollars-&-cents profit by setting race against race in the far away South."

re: #161 Prag
I know it's a radical idea,but I wish the governments of the world would collectively agree to own all the oil and share it. the revenues could be used to raise the standards of living for every human on the planet.)
That suffers from being both workable and undesirable.
I suppose the GOP uninformed fools will call this socialism. Well, whatever they call it this week, I think it's a better solution than letting the house of saud and George Bush and his oil pals control all that money.
Er. You know that there's more people involved, right?
the collective human race owns that oil. not one man. not one country. not one company.
Only in the moral sense.
with the advent of technology, borders are no longer necessary as we are all citizens of the earth. I can chat instantly with the ISS or somebody in an igloo or on a ship at sea.
Not if they don't have internet, you can't.
Distances are irrelevent now. We are all one species...except when it comes to Cricket and then India is king. Don't mess with them :
Distance is still highly relevant. The distance of China to the US is one of the main reasons that we condone their human and environmental abuses, for example.
You seem good-hearted, man, but the point about oil isn't that everyone should own it, it's that burning it is a stupid, wasteful thing we need to get away from.

But as to your original post,
One of the things that always intrigued me when I was a student - and took molecular biology - sadly, many years ago, was that life formed on Earth almost as soon as Earth was cool enough to have life. It amazed me. It seemed and still seems that the universe is constructed to make life wherever it can and that it almost must arise from the chemistry we have.

Occupy Protesters Rally Around Wounded Iraq Vet
Reed said on Wednesday that he had no choice to arrest them because he believed things were headed in a direction that was no longer peaceful. He cited a man seen walking the park with an AK-47 assault rifle.
"There were some who wanted to continue along the peaceful lines, and some who thought that their path should be more radical," Reed said. "As mayor, I couldn't wait for them to finish that debate."
Reed said authorities could not determine whether the rifle was loaded, and were unable to get additional information.
An Associated Press reporter talked to the man with the gun earlier Tuesday.
He wouldn't give his name — identifying himself only as "Porch," an out-of-work accountant who doesn't agree with the protesters' views — but said that he was there, armed, because he wanted to protect the rights of people to protest.

I broke the link on purpose. You can find it. That website belongs to Ernest Hancock. This Ernest Hancock. The guy who staged the gun-toting at the Obama rally in Phoenix in 2009.

I heard on NPR yesterday an interview with Rep. Israel, given the job for the Democrats to get back the house. They played a new GOP ad against him, saying he supports the OWS, then played a person yelling anti-Semitic bs. Rep. Israel was excellent.

I posted it because OWS's negligence in keeping the nuts out. Although I admit this is an extreme situation, it would be very difficult to ask a bunch of armed nutcases to leave the rally. However, they wouldn't even tell the fat antisemite teacher to leave their rally in LA. Just a little bit of common sense in marginalizing the more radical, violent or nutcase elements would go a long way towards establishing a serious image. JT Ready showed up because he knew that they'd tolerate him. There are some things that just shouldn't be tolerated. I'll give them a pass on the armed nazis but there does need to be some sort of effort to clean up the movement. Just a little common sense.

Conservative groups tend to be populated by authoritarians, people who respect, value and worship authority, not because the authority has innate value, but because the authority is an authority. Liberal groups tend to be populated by people who question authority, including the police.

It's actually much easier. OWS is a lot more radical and violent than the tea party and it's only been 4 weeks.
Do you think it's OWS that's bringing the CAR's?

Well thanks very much. As developments happen, I'll go back with my camera and small crew. LWC wants to go next time. I walked by today, and it's still growing. The tents are just packed in. I have sanitation worries at this point. Any illness would just sweep through like a refugee camp.
