Occupying Wall Street: "It's really simple."

So say those involved and organizing the third week of protests against those on Wall Street and the evil rich.

As the Occupy Wall Street protesters rally for a third week, social media sites such as Twitter seem to be spurring similar protests in other cities.

A Twitter account called Occupy Boston mentions a citywide college walkout there Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Massachusetts Nurses Association says hundreds of the city's nurses will rally with the Occupy Boston protesters on Wednesday. The association says the protest will be part of the opening day activities for a national nursing convention in Boston.

"It's really simple. These young people on Wall Street are giving voice to many of the problems that working people in America have been confronting over the last several years," said Larry Hanley, international president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, which has 20,000 members in the New York area.

"These young people are speaking for the vast majority of Americans who are frustrated by the bankers and brokers who have profited on the backs of hard-working people," Hanley added in a statement. "While we battle it out day after day, month after month, the millionaires and billionaires on Wall Street sit by -- untouched -- and lecture us on the level of our sacrifice."


So, let's review. According to President Obama, there is no intent at initiating class warfare in America. That is all a hallucination of the republicans and the right wing. I will bet that if asked, Obama would assure America that his union thugs in SEIU and the UAW and AFSCME and the other government employees unions don't have anything to do with these protests on Wall Street.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The Great and powerful Oz has spoken!" So says Obama and his legion.....

"Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes! Shake it off! Stop complaining! Stop grumbling! Stop Crying! We are gonna press on! We've got work to do!"

Still not making the connections? Can't see the parallels? This is the liberal response to the Tea Party. Phase three of the Alinsky playbook. Get the unions in the street, play up class warfare, but deny it at every opportunity. Encourage and solicit a complicit media to share and spread the message.

"I expect all of you to march with me and press on! "

You don't say.....and to emphasize his point? Obama's channels Ronald Reagan....
