just admit that Obama reelection campaign, George Soros,Moveon.org etc. are running OWS. The absolute hypocracy is getting old.
adbuster started this campaign before Obama was even on the radar... get your facts right
Troll. "you must admit that this movement is from..."
inclusivity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) : "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
http://www.TheMultitude.org : Silence the Trolls. Head over to the new forum. This one is broken.
So what. If I agree with the movement, why care who's running it?
Then good luck. Oh check out "Communist Party USA joins OccupyChicago". Good way to alienate moderates and middleclass America.
That's what you believe in, it's not a fact.
equazcion... I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Good luck.
"Good luck."
First actual message of support I've seen from you. Keep it up. Ditch the other stuff. So far we hate you.
I believe that is the point. Stop feeding the troll.
equazcion... "Asking people to "just admit" something your well aware we're all fighting against is not constructive" I am aware that at the begining we were fighting corp. greed. but based on a multitude of posts over the last few days, Moveon.org's taking the forefront in speaking to the media for the OWS and the statements of support by politicians who take Wall street money. I feel it is necessary to direct my fellow protesting brothers and sisters to the real danger of this movement being highjacked. If you didnt like the way I presented it, at least it gave you and I a chance to have a disscusion about it.
"I feel it is necessary to direct"
Direct constructively. Don't piss off the people you claim to support. That doesn't help, and is indeed trolling. Trolling for what you perceive to be a good intention is still trolling.
equazcion....I've been with this movement from day 3. Life long Democrat and union member. If you think I'm a troll,fine. But, I'll keep expressing my opinion that this movement has been highjacked which angers me. I have met so many sincere people at this protest and I would rather be called a troll than sit by and see thier efforts wasted.
You're angry??? Great! We all are. Asking people to "just admit" something you're well aware we're all fighting against is not constructive. It is a message designed to inflame movement members against you.
It's easy to blame the responder for not understanding. Do the more difficult thing and ask yourself if you've really presented your point in the way that's most likely to get a good response.
