An alarming news report from Iran's Press TV, a propoganda arm of the Iranian government, showing American professors gathering in Tehran to discuss the Occupy Wall Street Movement:

The professors interviewed on Press TV include Alex Vitale of Brooklyn College, Heather Gautney of Fordham University, and John Hammond of City University of New York.

Fuck you - anyone can talk about occupy and not be a supporter of occupy ( true supporter ). Occupy has no way to silence shit heads who want to claim whatever they want. That is the thing about free speech anyone can use it.

Fuck you-you're in denial.

No, you and your ilk are the anti-American treasonous scum. We have no beef with Iran.

Those who place Israel's interest (paranoid false interest, really) before the U.S.'s are the true traitors, but none dare call it treason.

No more U.S. blood for Israel's wars. Period.

Haha... listen to yourself - another anti-Zionist; whatever made you change your mind?

" We have no beef with Iran"

I guess you forgot that Iran has seized one of our high tech Drones and will not return it.

I guess you forgot that Iran has been supplying the IED's that have been killing and maiming our US troops in Iraq.

And the list goes on,apparently you're not paying attention to much besides scoring your weed and smokin bongs.

Wow son, you are simple. Imagine if North Korea was invading Mexico, sent a drone to spy on the Mexican/American border, and crashed it in Arizona. Would we give it back and stay out of the conflict on our border? I don't think so. You want Iran to stop killing our soldiers? Why don't you ensure our soldiers are not on their borders. I am not making excuses for Iran's actions. I'm just putting them in context. As to the rest of the information on this post, it smells of desperation.

[-] -2 points by prevere (-56) 12 years ago

Our soldiers were not always "on their borders",have you not been paying attention?

Yes you are making excuses without giving any analogous context that is worth considering,but the real question is:

Do you want Iran to stop killing "our soldiers"?

I'm guessing your answer would be somewhere between apathy and ambivalence.

Why do feel the need to jump to Iran's defense?

Did you yourself look at the clip you posted? Did anyone identify themselves as Occupy representatives? (Hint: they couldn't because they aren't.) Did they utter one single anti-American syllable? And if they would have, did they claim to represent any group at all?

Nope. none of the above.

Three professors went to a conference and gave their observations about a movement they are not part of. The didn't even express approval for the movement.

And THAT'S why your panties are all in a bunch?

What an idiot.

[+] -5 points by prevere (-56) 12 years ago

You post with such authority,you must have been there. You must know the professors as well. Thanks for not being an arrogant,foul mouthed asshole,I appreciate it.

[-] 4 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

You posted the clip, moron. I listened to it.

I can talk about you all I want, but does that make me your representative?

OWS has no representatives at all. You are an idiot for getting all panicky and self righteously enraged about something that doesn't even exist.

Duh.

[-] 2 points by JesseHeffran (3903) 12 years ago

I have to say epa1nter, you are more diligent than me. I seen that the link was from the Weekly Standard and knew it for what it was so I didn't even read it. I am even kinda ashamed that I'm bumping this fluff piece right now. But I just could not resist- lol.

[+] -4 points by prevere (-56) 12 years ago

Actually,I'm none of the above. I just posted this without malice or any ill feelings toward anybody that is a patriotic American. The highly defensive and angry replies I've received speak volumes as to how this must hit a little to close to home for some OWS people.

[-] 5 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

No malice? Do you even read what you write? So calling OWS "Anti-American treasonous scum " is really your expression of affection?

What the fuck makes you think OWS is in Tehran? Because some people chose to talk ABOUT it there? For all you know, they were attacking OWS. I don't know, and neither do you. And the point is they were NOT OWS. They were three professors. You jump to nothing if not malicious unfounded conclusions.

The clip showed nothing about OWS. It is the clip YOU posted. If you are going to lie, at least don't provide the evidence of your lie yourself! ROTFLMAO.

Even your dishonesty is stupid.

You forgot your injection again, epa1nter.

Forgot to close the door while masturbating again, Mike.

Quite a little fetish you've got going.

Oh, come on. I know you need some fun after a day full of union-organizing. Did you sign anyone up today? You guys need to get it going- union membership is dropping like a rock!

[-] 2 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

Too bad Reagan's Alsheimers didn't allow him to see how corrupt he helped make the country. Still really great that he got it, though.

Great post.

So prove me wrong,if you can pick your fat ass up off the floor that is.

Already have, moron. You can go back to mommy now.

Why would anyone feel obligated to prove anything to such a tard? I mean, it would be a pretty fruitless exercise anyway, unless we drew it out for you with crayons :)

I'd say those professors seem like very brave people to me. It takes a lot of balls to go to Iran and discuss anything (especially if you're not in government and well protected). Moreover, the burden of proof is on the accusant (not on the accused). You don't get to make bare assertions and demand others prove you wrong (well, unless you're a religion of course).

How exactly do you describe a Patriotic American? Do you believe in Free Trade and Globalism, which has decimated our industry and sucked jobs out of this country? Do you believe in trade with Communist China?

Where do you stand Mr. Patriot?

[-] 1 points by JesseHeffran (3903) 12 years ago

You must be a psychologist. Or a parent. lol.

[-] 1 points by nomdeguerre (1775) from Brooklyn, NY 12 years ago

You mean the drone that was illegally flying over sovereign territory that we're not at war with? That drone? Turnabout is fair play, or is that beyond your conceptual development?

If those homemade IED's are the best Iran could do, we would have invaded already. There is one word for your theory: FAIL.

Incidentally, how dare you use the name of that great patriot, Paul Revere? It's OWS that's returning to the vision of our founders. We represent the constitution and the ideals of the American Revolution.

In the words of an earlier poster, we're wrapping ourselves in the flag and if you want to fight us you'll have to trample it under. Welcome to the 2nd American Revolution, purely in defense of democracy and nonviolent.

[-] -1 points by prevere (-56) 12 years ago

So I gather you are a pro-Iranian defender/Anarchist that is posing as an American Patriot.

You side with OWS because you feel that they represent the Founders beliefs?

You are confused,propagandized and possibly willfully ignorant. There is not much difference between you and the anti-American forces that are currently plotting to destroy this country,from the outside and the inside,actually you might just be a proxy and not even know it. You certainly have the talking points down.

You are clueless about a real "2nd American Revolution",you would no doubt be on the receiving end.

[-] 1 points by nomdeguerre (1775) from Brooklyn, NY 12 years ago

You clearly have no understanding of the motivations and ideals behind the American Revolution. Perhaps you should study the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to the Constitution and the Bill or Rights. You clearly do not share American values and ideals or even know what they are.

Your last sentence seems to be a physical threat (at least as wishfulness). While the 2nd American Revolution is and will stay decidedly non-violent, we are all entitled to self defense. I am not a pacifist. There is also something known as the Law of Necessity.

You should be banned from this board for threats, but on the other hand it's convenient that you expose your true self. Thanks.

so what if they did.. this idea that amercan can rule the world has got to go. we are not the world police. then we should get out of iraq.. america has no business trying to force our politics or culture down some other countries' throat. we should get out of afganistan. you terrified idiots need to stop with the fear mongering.and the lies. if america actully had some beef with anyone you did hear of hiroshima? thats how you handle some psycho that is trying to take over the world.. not by killing your children to maintain oil supply under the guise of democracy. all those soldiers dying is making just a few americans rich and if you dont believe that.. just where is that 2 billion dollars a week going do you suppose? yes a week... the ignorant among us have got to become aware. "what good fortune for governments when people do not think" adolf hitler. remember that when your supporting war on blind faith.. and its sickening that you fear a society whose leaders run and hide in holes when they are pursued. they have soooo much power.. they are sooo threatning!
