Reply #36: Funny thing is hardly anyone claims them anymore [View All]

since the novelty fad wore off several months ago...(I know, after their purpose was served last November, there was no further 'use' for them). No matter how uninformed they are, none of them can claim the info wasn't out there about their corporate overlords -- They chose to ignore it.

There probably isn't even enough of them to reach out to (assuming OWS even wanted to do so)...But a cheap, easy way to fight media irrelevance is to attach your name to what's popular at the moment...

If the teabaggers had been out there with us from the start, or even if there was an honest-to-god mea culpa moment (i.e., "I just felt desperate for a political voice last year and in my heart of hearts knew joining forces with racism, veiled assassination threats, anti-government hysteria, etc. was a bad thing...I also freely admit the assclowns I campaigned for and voted in have made the situation a thousand times worse..." I wouldn't be so skeptical of their "common ground"
