Subject: Occupy Wall Street - Must Read!
Recent letter to the editor of Knoxville News-Sentinel.
Jack A. Furnari, Knoxville
The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is anAmerica where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly. It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.
It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an Americawhere our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.
It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor.
It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.
Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America.

Our basic liberties aren't guaranteed? Like the right to peaceably assemble, or the freedom of speech?
And if this is "class warfare," what is "We are the 53%"?
Jack A Furnari -- did you know that many of the OWS protesters are Iraqi War veterans? Who were ordered to make the ultimate sacrifice for a whim? For lies?
Are you aware that the financial collapse of the US played right into the hands of right wing plunderers who made BILLIONS off of it?
Do you not realize that your suffering is caused by the very elements you defend and not OWS, unions, Hollywood, universities, "communists", and the Black Panthers?
The American media?
Idiot. The American media has been on your side ever since Watergate.
Valeyard, the 53% are merely defending themselves from those who feel entitled to what they have worked their lives for, speaking to them in a format they have the ability, if they choose, to understand
Why is it that wingnuts can only speak gibberish when trying to articulate their concerns? Try and make sense of FRF's sentence, I dare you.
"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."
How're things looking down there at the AA+ credit rating level? Sweden, France, Norway, and the other socialistic failures would like to know.
FRF is comprehensible if you can untangle the pronouns. He's saying OWS is too dumb to understand why it's great for the system to let you down.
The 53% believe that "those lazy bums" who don't qualify to pay taxes are different from them, the upstanding citizens who still can't afford health care and work two jobs to put themselves through college or raise children.
In short, "the 53%" are the suckers who can't understand that income has soared by hundreds of percent for the very richest, and if you're "average" or below, you are barely keeping pace with inflation. The 53% misses the Gilded Age.
Nor do they understand that it's dumb to brag about not being able to support oneself without working twice the hours your parents did, and it's exactly the problem these protesters want to solve

So they are trying to defend things like Social Security, Medicare and pensions from the looters and thieves of Wall Street? Well that's good to hear. I hope these 53% start voting Republicans and blue dogs out of office.
It really is always projection with these people, isn't it?
It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule.
Sounds familiar. Certainly applies to old Dick Cheney and his Republican friends. And I'll be damned if that isn't a perfect one sentence description of the current GOP nomination pool. Bloody hell, that nutter Ron Paul is by far the sanest and most qualified of that bunch of clowns, and that's a scary fucking thought.

Indeed. An America where the crooks on Wall Street game the system and then everyone suffers when the whole thing goes down in flames. Everyone, that is, except them, because we have a nice blank bailout check ready for you.
An America where veterans are chewed up in the meet grinder of endless wars and then spit out with no jobs, no houses and no treatment for PTSD, while at the same time defense contractors get fat off of no bid and cost plus contracts.
An America where we have to cut your Medicare and Social Security to balance the budget in order to play for even more tax cuts for the richest 1%.
George W Bush's America. Paul Ryan's America. The Koch brothers America. In short: the Republican's America.
It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.
Um... Succession? Jim Crow? Watergate? 30 years of burning down the government so the wealthy can have a nice fire to roast marshmallows?
It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an Americawhere our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.
I must have missed the part of OWS where they used their freedom to assemble and speak in order to destroy... the freedom to assemble and speak?
It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers ... will live in opulent splendor.
How DARE they ruin peasants and live in splendor! Don't they know that's OUR dream? Copy Cats!
Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation,
I have to agree with this, because as we all know American history began on January 20th, 2009.

Says the intellectual, who is paid to churn out pro-overloard propaganda and lives off wingnut welfare. Hey Sowell, how about you try to get a real job? You know, in that private sector you are always slobbering about?
I agree with the (obvious astroturf) letter that there has been tremendous damage inflicted on the United States in the last four years. Of course, almost all of that was in 2008, before Barack Obama became president, and the primary narrative of the 3 years since has been the Republican effort to prevent him from fixing any of the damage.
(Funny how the Rethugs aren't still complaining about Obama rescuing the auto industry or cutting taxes.)
This is some serious gibberish, taking bits of reality, and mashing it up with the writers worst nightmares. The right wing seems less and less able to communicate with the real world outside their echo chamber, and mostly what you get is this mental scream of a diatribe. I happened to read Thomas Sowell's column (the intellectual who hates intellectuals) this weekend. It was almost as bad as this, just a series of unrelated sentences making some bizarre and stereotyped observations.

Just some *FACTUAL* info re the demographics of OWS protestors. Those without jobs are reflective of current unemployment stats. A larger pecentage of OWS protestors have jobs; many are very well educated; and contrary to rightwing dog-whistle talking points there is NO defacating & sex in public and most of the protestors are quite clean and presentable (not that the latter 2 characteristics matter much, frankly, by fyi).
This is the kind of gibbering nonsensical propoganda that was pumped out during the Civil Rights & Anti-Viet Nam movements by the 1%, who, as usual, didn't want those changes to happen, either.
Those 1% enablers in the 99%, who call themselves the "53%" are deluded fools, who think that by toadying up to the 1%, it will somehow "rub off" on them, and they, too, will some day get obscenely wealthy. And if/when they do, they, too, are determined to behave like greedy, shameless, selfish oinking pricks... now there's a GOAL to strive for!
Just look for more of this kind of bogus b.s. to continue and get worse over time. Duly noted that OWS is somehow "Anti-American" and "ripping up the constitution." But when TeaTards were out shrieking, screaming, openly carrying & spitting on Congress members... why THAT was the very *height* of being a Patriotic American who was exercising "proper" civil rights behavior.
Typical b.s. hypocritical double standards and lies.
THEY SHOULD BE PROTESTING IN WASHINGTON AGAINST THE DODD/FRANK BILL THAT'S KILLING SMALL BUSINESS BY TO MANY REGULATIONS, BARNEY FRANK AND FREDDIE MACK FOR NOT REGULATING THE HOUSING MARKET, AND POLOSI FOR JUST PASS THE HEALTH CARE BILL TO SEE WHATS IN IT.HOW DO YOU LIKE HOPE AND CHANGE NOW.IF YOU DON'T LIKE AMERICA LEAVE.

I'm looking at this, and it just has to be over the top mockery of wingers. Right?
obama spent 4 trillion in 3yrs that's more than all the presidents together
false.
and it's bushes and the GOP'S fault,not even close,
Well probably only 95% their fault, since most of the deficit was the result of Bush's recession, Bush's tax cuts, Bush's stupid ass wars and Bush's deficit spending to pay for it all.
2012 is going to be a massacure for the socialist left
Just like last week was such a massacre for the left? I mean, I guess SB 5 did manage 1/3 of the vote in Ohio, which is pretty sad when you think about it.
,good going dems for getting into bed with them now that America has woke up i don't think the dems will ever recover from this as they say in german a vetter zain-by.
Quoting German, really? How easy are you trying to make this?
