Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street Protests. We are need a jobs. Education. and Homes. We don't need road or airport? Whatever?

Obama took 3 years to mess up. Can't fix. Obama gets an Fail. 180 billion jobs lost. All time. Job cuts. All time.
and House foreclosures. Gas prices $4 dollars. Food prices. Can't fix middle class. Now... Economy $14.7 trillion.

No. They have a right to protest. It just bothers me that when the Tea Party has a protest, the media "villainizes" them. Much like the right has labeled these protesters as having "entitlement" mentalities. When if you stop listening to the extremists on both sides...the majority want the same thing.

He's avoiding a lawsuit-these folks have every right under the first amendment to assemble and protest. It doesn't matter if he is democrat republican or tea partyer- or the protesters for that matter. But it is too bad they don't have an actual agenda or plan of action.

I think the point is to redress the huge economic disparities brought about by the financial crisis brought about by Wall Street
banksters and their political enablers.

I agree with No. 5 that he is attempting to avoid the lawsuits that will come with forced action. I dont think the city of Atlanta is financially able to pay the School Bus load of Lawyers that it will take to defend these suits, since they will probably all go to the Supreme Court. Doesnt mean either side is correct. Just my observation.

Who said they were unwashed? They are American citizens with a right to free speach and peacefull protest. Power to the people!

when this was going on the news anchor said "they are moving their protest from the park down to the homeless shelter" ...
in reality they were just going home

Why not? Any other person would be thrown out of tax payer homes if they didn't belong there. Why does this group have rights that others would not in this situation?
