3 Charged With Dealing Crack; Occupy Boston ‘Deteriorating’ I stand by my earlier statement that the longer these Occupations go on, the better. The vast majority of liberal and conservative working people are simply going to be disgusted with these idiots.

More proof the Occupy 'movement' is a mirage Rick Moran The place: Los Angeles, a city that has a population of 3.7 million and is located in a metro area that has nearly 13 million people. The time: Middle of the afternoon on a cloudless Saturday. The event: A protest march by Occupy LA to the downtown financial district. Number of protestors: According to the LA Times, "several hundred." Clearly if OccupyLA was even 1% of LA, they'd be able to get 37,000 people out, not just a few hundred. But this handful of freaks, weirdos, and criminals is what the Democratic party is tying themselves to. What? A protest march held in a city of millions and the best they can do on a Saturday afternoon is get "several hundred" protestors? Where's the "99%?" And what about that Washington, D.C. protest march last night to the convention center where "hundreds" of marchers tried to block entrance to a conservative conference? A bastion of liberalism and a hot bed of Occupy support can't get more than a couple of hundred protestors to march against evil Republicans? The only time these marches have any numbers at all is when organized labor is involved. Even then, the Occupy Oakland march had less than 5,000 on Thursday with less than 3,000 actually making it to the port - most of them bused to the demonstration by unions. This after the mayor gave the "general strike" her blessing and unions announced their full support. There was massive coverage before the march in the local press with promises from organizers that "tens of thousands" would show up. Phooey! The actual encampments - including the supposed epicenter in New York - of Occupy groups are small, pitiful places whose numbers are exaggerated by the homeless, the derelicts, and drug dealers. Meanwhile, the press continues the fiction that this is a "growing" movement - an irrestistable tide that will sweep the tea party aside and impact the election in 2012. Balderdash! Heh, OccupySLC and OccupySeattle can't even get Chris and Ted out of the house. Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/11/more_proof_the_occupy_movement_is_a_mirage.html#ixzz1d1RsHs9O
