Looks like the Occupy Movement is really getting to some on the WRW

At least they seem to have touched a nerve with Breitbart. Or, maybe he just didn't get his meds on time that day:

The Big Losers here are the Homeless people who got a pretty good deal from the Occupy people who invited them into the camps, offered them a tent, sleeping bag, basic medical care and meals

Here in Pittsburgh, The Media tried to discredit the OWS people since day one, but at least they showed 1 old Black man who refused to leave the park, claiming he had been living there for over 6 years, well hjiden in the bushes in the winter, and in a tree when its warmer. He thanked the OWS people for all thier help as he was escorted out by the Police.. Back to the streets, begging for money and food.

Anyone have a spare bunk on thier 32`Yacht fo an old homeless Man..??

Did you notice that all the clean-up workers are wearing environmental hazard bunny suits, for their own protection? Who would've guessed that a gathering of liberals would be declared an environmental hazard!

I would. I don't think I've seen pictures of any liberal gathering that didn't leave mounds of trash in their wake. Having those kind of people gathered in one place for weeks or months at a time is sure to lead to some pretty unsanitary conditions.

They want to show us how to run the country by dropping their trash wherever they stand. Then they claim that the conservatives are anti-environment. You know, like the Tea Party who left the washington mall cleaner after a major rally than it was before.

I dont know the exact reason he is homeless. The TV reporter was not interested in his History, only his Filthy appearance and speecdh impediment.. Guessing from the TV coverage, I would say the man is slightly disturbed, physicaly weak, and looks like he may be 65-70 years old. (now dont spin this that I am being racist or Insensitve) A dirty trick to convince the public, everyone there is a Bum.. Why didnt the Media interview the Priest, young girls or White homeless vets..???? (no Fair & Balanced Right Wing Mediia here)

if you really want to know Why he is homeless, I will go downtown tomorrow and check the dumsters, gutters and park bushes.. he would be delighted that sdomewhere out there in America, 1 Republican cares about him..

This really is not funny.. Its 12 degress outside 25mph winds.. I think one of local churches (Liberation Theologists) collects these poor folks when it gets below 30 degrees and lets them sleep in the church. W.W.J.D.?

On the whole OWS vs Tea Party cleanliness thing, do you think that (just perhaps) there is difference between cleaning up as you leave voluntarily and actually being evicted? Seriously, only the most anally-retentive of campers would put everything they took with them back into their packs every time they left the tent. Look at what the pictures depict being thrown out:
  • First picture - tarp being taken off a tree. Man, I've never seen that at a camp-site before.
  • Second picture - a bag of what appears to be blankets, sleeping bags, and clothing. Only the most disgusting people would have them whilst camping!
  • Third picture - tents and signs. OMG, how could humans even live in such filth!
  • Fourth picture - even more tents, sleeping bags, and signs. I think I'm going to be sick... how could a protest camp-out even bare to have that stuff around let alone sleep in or beside it?!?

Of course, you might say, then why the suits? You're right, I'd wonder why they're wearing forensic outfits too. Were the police worried about contaminating the scene? Are cops really that dirty?

Look, I think OWS wore out it's appeal and effectiveness when it fell from the headlines. Kind of like the Tea Party. Still, it is amazing at what some people on the right or conservative side of politics will use in spinning whatever they can to make them out to be worse than they were.
