Why would a peaceful movement want a fist as a symbol/logo? You have let the labor unions take advantage of you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_fist

The raised fist logo may represent unity or solidarity, generally with oppressed peoples. The black fist, also known as the Black Power fist is a logo generally associated with black nationalism and sometimes socialism. Its most widely-known usage is by the Black Panther Party in the 1960s. A black fist logo was also adopted by the northern soul music subculture. The white fist, also known as the Aryan fist or the White Power fist is a logo generally associated with white nationalism.

"Food Not Bombs" doesn't exactly sound "terrorist" to me"!!! "OTPOR" is the famous non-violent student organization that brought down Milosevic. As for "Women's Liberation", do they really terrorize you that much? :) You might want to do your homework before lumping together all of the above...

You must have missed the "Several" or misread it as "All of those are". You may want to actually read and comprehend the actual post before making yourself sound like an imbecile. It's OK though. Every village needs its idiot.

Further proof that truth hurts.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

It is a white fist, so does that signify White Supremacy?

Are you color blind or stupid?

Wow! You are so giving and beautiful. Do you have some cash I can have?

And nazis

This is nothing more than mindless, ridiculous, and absurd political rhetoric. It is neither realistic nor probable that OWS represents 99% of any population other than it's own members. And even that is realistically unlikely.

You know this looks just like a Fascist logo from Italy in the 30s right?

[-] 1 points by getgrip (29) 13 years ago

You make a good point here.

You guys let the unions pull one over on you. You are advertising their symbol for them...free!
