Thread Name: BS: I voted for Obama, but...
Subject: RE: BS: I voted for Obama, but...
The wondrous thing about OWS is that it is inclusive...

The downside is that in doing that it get's all the wackos...

Songwronger wants to pontificate and then say "never mind answering" as in "flight" from this discussion as if his/her hatred of Obama isn't the issue that I have brought up...

I mean, I have been on the front lines of the civil rights movement so there is nothing that is going to mess with me at this point in my life... Not Obama haters... Not folks trying to play ballgames with OWS... I have been to every OWS event (with the exception of one) and I don't hear what songwronger thinks is what the OWS movement is about...

We had folks like songwronger back in the 60s who were clueless... They had their own agendas... If we were trying to organize an anti-war demonstration we were called "pigs" by folks who were more interested in some things going down at the Phillip-Morris plant (true story)...

I mean, if anyone wants to hate Obama then hate away... That's the beauty of living in this country... We have an equal-hatred country... That's songwrongers right... It's also my right to call him on it when he/she uses a movement much larger than his/her hate of Obama as his shield...

OWS ain't about Obama resigning... That is fact...

OWS has a much different agenda than that...
