May Day Protests Show Occupy Wall Street, Liberal Establishment Bonds Posted: 05/ 1/2012 7:30 pm Updated: 05/ 2/2012 1:05 am
A little over six months ago, Stephanie McGuinness was camping out in Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of a new movement that often shunned politicians and community groups and other bastions of the liberal "establishment."
On Tuesday, as thousands gathered for May Day rallies around the country, McGuinness stood in New York's Bryant Park, handing out literature and chatting up passersby in her new role as an intern for the bastion of the liberal establishment that is the broadcast network Democracy Now.
Over the winter and spring, as Occupy Wall Street largely faded from the headlines, activists in the movement kept busy meeting with members of community groups and other pillars of the traditional left. The ties that have been forged between these two distinct outgrowths of the left signal what many describe as a broad change in the Occupy movement. "We recognized that people have been working for the same changes for centuries," said McGuinness. "And it's obvious that we need to listen to them and take a step back from being the only voice for progressive causes."......................>>>>.......................>>>>..............................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/01/may-day-protests-occupy-wall-street_n_1469229.html
Shut down our economy? lol. These filthy flea baggers couldn't shut down a lemon stand. Throw a brick through a Starbucks and call it a day. Unemployed students with their anarchists professors. Throw Obama stooge community organizers into the mix. This artificial "movement" was conceived by Canadian Marxists as a way to counter the Tea Party. It has failed miserably.
