Re: #3

“Oakland has the attention of the world.”

Statement’s a bit grandiose. But, okay. Oakland also has the attention of every employer who might consider ever moving there and is now thinking, “no thanks.” Not to mention having the attention of every employer already in Oakland who might think moving on up the road to Emeryville now sounds appealing. There’s redistributing the wealth for you! And I’m sure those suffering small businesses will appreciate your sentiment that they “will benefit in the long term.”

The freaks are taking over the streets of Oakland and blocking access to private property.

Where are Commandante Quan’s cops?

Hiding on her orders?

Not to worry, Rew! O’bummercare will solve all the problems. He’s done so well in only 2 1/2 years!

If you don’t believe O’bummercare will solve all the problems, just ask former speaker Pelousy who said don’t read the bill, just shut up and vote for it.

8 CEO’s of “non-profit bay” area hospitals have 1 million dollar a year salaries, according to Contra Costa Times. Health care premiums going through the roof, health care system in shambles, and these CEO’s just continue to give themselves raises. CEO’s all over the US whistle while they work – at wages that are so fantastic you just can’t believe it – while the middle class suffers. I stand with the 99%, we’ve had enough of these plutocrats at the top. They are running US economy into the ground. Go Occupy movement!

Here is the “full quote” of Assemblywoman Hayashi: “I stand in full support of the peaceful protestors of Occupy Oakland and the Day of Action to achieve economic justice and jobs for the 99%. I call upon them to visit stores patronized by ‘the 1%’, such as Needless Markup, and walk out with a few high-priced items without stopping at a cashier first. It’s better for you capitalism-haters to have these necessities of life than the undeserving people who can afford to pay full price for them.” (Disclaimer – the last few sentences are entirely fictitious.)

Re: #5: Classic fascist vomit from Hellwoody — never attack the message, just act like a third grader and attack the messenger.

Note how no one (outide the senile fossil, Arr Arr) comes to his defense against these paintings of himself (Hellwoody) as a fascist, through and through?

Yo, Hellwoody — we’re not laughin’ with ya, we’re laughin’ AT ya.

This dishonor roll of knee-jerk libs, some of whose work experience consists mainly of getting re-elected and raising cash from misty-eyed 1 percenters who feel guilty about being successful, would be disgracefully irresponsible if it were not so ridiculous. The economic crisis is “unfair” to everybody; what slump isn’t? Urging Oakland schoolchildren to “strike” is especially reprehensible. In most of America the Oakland schools are chiefly noted for abysmal standards and introducing the word “Ebonics” to American speech.
