This really happened, someone caught it on video:

OMG that dude was a jerk for calling someone that. I can't believe what I just saw.
We don't need you wasting our time. Your being followed now.
"Your being followed now."
So you are stalking people on here now ?
Dehumanizing the victim makes violence more palatable to the violent.
It has been done before.
We don't need that or your message please.
Dude, he was supporting you. Somebody's feeling defensive today.
Thx.
My sentiments exactly.
He's not. He trolls around.
Please refrain from disenfranchising critical supporters concerned for the safety of their fellow Americans.
I saw this guy on the troll list earlier today. Please avoid him!
Thx.
Really.
You've been outed!
?????
Truth hurts?
My message?
Please stop. The Dirt Bagger Movement is bigger than you.
Please refrain from disenfranchising critical supporters. Many are concerned for the safety of their fellow Americans.
You sir are inciting violence and we won't have it. Back off!
Point understood, but disagreed with.
There are extreme dangers to times like this and preparedness is tantamount to safety.
Take a bath.
Problem solved.
Police are trained to guard power, no surprise.
You should inform them that we support their pensions, unions, the other side wants unions crushed.
We want unions and corporation crushed too. The unions buy votes!
No, no, we like unions.
Wrong. They buy elections.
Get them to not buy elections. Done. Just as we force Wall Street to change. Done.
You lost, http://occupywallst.org/forum/winner-troll-award-winner-is-richardgates/
This is simply another manifestation of fear from the outsiders. The most efficacious method of deflating pejoratives like this is to accept, embrace and become them, like the early Christians did when they were called by that moniker as a derisive term by the Greeks. Today the term Christian has a clear and unequivocal meaning to it and no one within the Christian community thinks of it as a derisive term.
Dirt Baggers for financial reform - it actually has a nice ring to it and it's much easier to say than Occupy Wall Street. In fact, when you think about it, we are trying to clean up (bag) some of the 'dirt' that has soiled our political system. I can live with and enjoy that label.
That's what the early guys like NYprotester thought.
If this movement is truly successful, it will represent a major change in the economic and political systems of the US.
One major factor in keeping the population under control are the artificial class and race barriers that have been erected by the ruling class. (Howard Zinn's A Peoples History of the US has the best explanation of this.) By the way, I include union leadership in the 1% ruling class.
OWS tries to be a classless, raceless movement. This frightens the ruling class and their servants to no end. One of their major social control mechanisms has failed.
To counter this in the short term, they have encouraged hatemongers. The racist right has been insistent on denying OWS any cooperation. These forces of hate have felt threatened since Obama's election, anyway, and they sense the power of this movement.
Without an artificial racial and economic divide, many of these groups would have no reason to exist. Many poor whites make up the bulk of these hate groups, but others, specifically recent immigrants (East Indians, Russians, etc.), belong, too.
The poor whites have been more negatively impacted by the financial crisis than most, so the risk to the ruling class is two fold:
Hatemongers might just wake up and realize they have been played by the 1%, and actually join the movement. This would be a nightmare for the ruling class.
Many of the exploited poor white folks who are hate group members or sympathizers are also members of unions and the police/armed forces. Without a reason to protect the 1%, the 1% would suddenly become quite vulnerable physically.
If the ruling class can bait the movement as antipolice, they can lower the attractiveness of OWS to the bulk of Americans, who believe in fair play above all else.
It's tough, but occupiers must remain peaceful and positive.
Troll. Careful people. Here comes his backhanded compliment. Stay away.
Flames cheerfully ignored!
And there you have it. Wonder why your on the list for us to monitor?
Nobody said this was going to be easy. Stay strong.
Thanks bro. Taking in the insults as compliments.
OH GOD!!!! NO!!!. they got it ALL wrong, it is FLEA BAGGERS. damned coppers.
Don't distract, it is being copyrighted as the Dirt Bagger Party Movement.
I think Douche Baggers would be much more appropriate. Think about it. They clean out the nasty stuff by flushing it away.
If it's the NYPD trying to be clever with the 'dirtbagger' shit, then I have a clever one for them:
"The Donut-Munching Jackbooted Pig Party". HAH! Ain't it the truth.
We have adopted our name. Dirt Bagger Party
Hey guess what, in this country we have freedom of speech.
i love you
Me like you to. Come to the park.
Yes, we are dirt baggers. we will fight the system!!
Thanks fbush.
howabout dirt party.
Why are you trying to stop us Berkeley dude?
cause I HATE freedom of speech. WTF were they thinking back then.
Join with the dirt Baggers tomorrow.
Ironically, us berkeley people aren't into protesting wall street quite yet. We're up occupying trees to prevent them from getting cut down (seriously). I would be there if I were in NYC.
We are here for you brother! Dirt Bagger Party
F off
Forgot to mention, meet us in the big tent tomorrow at noon. Dirt Bagger Party!
Dude. Fight back by accepting it. We have countered by calling and forming the Dirt Bagger Party. We won!
I know, thanks.
If that is true it is unprofessional but not against the law. Might be trying to bait you.
bad Cops no donut for them
Thank them for their creative input. "Handsome AND clever!"
They are defenseless against a smile.
We do, thanks.
