thousands of people descending on wall st?

[KingNothing]

These people are mostly just socialists who have no understanding of economics or liberty.

 

[KingNothing]

What is their goal; the objective; the vision.

Sounds incoherent.

New yorkers for ron paul need to set up table.

They have no coherent voice or goal.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

They are only characterized and some of them dress and may even behave that way because they are expressing rebellious emotions and only know examples of the 1960s as a well to express them. If they were actually educated about Ron Paul and his opposition to the Federal Reserve and understanding why then I'm sure it would have some impact on their lives and may change their approach on how best to express their deep rooted concerns both political and economical.

As far as the pot-smoking, hey more power to them. The drug war needs to stop.

No, I just realized that and fixed it. I'm not against pot. In fact, I've wanted to try it for a while. It just struck me as going in with the liberal hippie thing. As for them only knowing examples from the 60s, that's really a shame. I, however, don't really feel sorry for liberals. It seems like some of the people there are liberals, and if they can't be original with their rebellious spirit, too bad for them.

Where are the End The Fed NY group in all this?

 

[69360]

They have no stated goals, no agenda, they are just protesting for the sake of protesting. Micheal Moore is involved, so you know the kind of people you are dealing with. What if they threw a protest and nobody cared?

 

[acptulsa]

Someone on my facebook shared a photo. I commented. I was promptly called a "tea bagger." Let them have it; it seems disjointed and prone to fall into a riot anyway.

I disagree. We need people just like this.

Hope there are a lot of Ron Paul shirts in the crowd. We need to let them know Ron Paul and his supporters aren't just a few more Republicans. 'Cause God knows the media won't tell them any different.

 

[Andrew76]

You have to be careful with this as most "protesters" at this event are largely anti-capitalism, or at least what the think is capitalism. They're really just anti-Corporatism, as is Ron Paul, but he's an "evil republican" so good luck convincing anyone at this event. My two cents. I could be wrong.

 

[TheTexan]

I would so table and pass out fliers there if I lived anywhere nearby. I'm in Texas -_-

Same here.

I'm spreading the word best I can, in their chatroom. https://occupywallst.org/chat/

Anyone have any good videos of ron paul speaking against corporations/corruption?

I'm with below. This is a large group that has probably already declined into a mob mentality. Mix that with the fact that they went in with the "business is evil, capitalism is evil, the government should do x-y-z for me, and you have a situation that isn't exactly conducive to spreading our message. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but I'm usually not.

They vote. Guilt by association (Moore) is an ignorant smear.

 

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

These are left leaning people protesting. They have no interest in Ron Paul. In fact, if you talk about politics they will ban you from their live chat. If you use underlines, they will ban you from their livechat. If you use caps, they will.... you get the idea. They don't want to get rid of oppression, they just want to be the ones oppressing. I've seen more people in a comedy club than out there. It won't go anywhere.

So, we let them become the Democratic movement of 2016? We should engage them in a spirit of friendship and support for those things we share in common, so that this movement will one day further the cause of liberty.

 

[TheTexan]

I don't care if they're left or right. These people in the movement use words like "Republicrats and demopublicans" while at the same time calling other people "righties" or "republicans"...

Our brand of liberty accepts all people, no hypocrisies allowed here.

If you need to, sell them on
a) The idiotic war on drugs
b) Bring our troops home
c) Anti-federal reserve
d) Anti-corporation
e) etc.

My own pair of pennies: If we don't teach a bunch of people the difference between capitalism and corporatism, we lose this thing.

Yeah, but you don't teach an alcoholic the error of their ways 8 pints in at Oktoberfest.

Brilliant. I was leaning this way, and you said it just right. They're not in a listening or educable mood at the moment.

 

[ZanZibar]

According to Facebook there were quite a few arrests.

I'd rather see thousands of people inviting dozens of people each to the Black this out money bomb.
