This came from a site called "politically incorrect and proud of it too." Because nothing's more american than being free to hurt and disparage others. Aren't double standards fun? Just for fun here's a quote from this morning: "Let's help the economy by closing down businesses and ports with protest. Well done Oakland Occupiers your really helping your city out..." Most of the other reactions to this event had to do with how the Longshoremen and other workers are losing pay because of the demonstration.
Contrast the ad hominem picture with a picture made by someone supporting OWS.
Stark eh?
Then there is this quote from one of the forgotten founding fathers. I cannot verify the source but this analogy seems similar to Paine's style.
Update I: Not everyone in Oakland apparently feels that fighting greed and injustice is less important than a day's wages. Rolling Stone doesn't think the general strike in Oakland is very effective, but at least they are covering it.
