Bill Maher Turns on #OccupyWallStreet? (Better Late Than Never)

By the Left Coast Rebel

"And this is the problem when you, you know, when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway.

...just a bunch of douchebags who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution."



Does anyone other than the desperate, fawning left-wing press take #OccupyWallStreet seriously now?

Somewhere in between the rapes, private property trashing, incessant obnoxiousness, worthless marches, riot police rubber-bullet-sprayed mobs and homesteading -- which has absolutely nothing to do with free speech, zip, zero, nada -- Americans have gone from losing interest to becoming adamantly against the #Occupy "movement".

Why's that you ask?

As a personal aside, yesterday we spent a beautiful afternoon at Balboa Park here in San Diego. It was crowded but for good reason: the sun and sunny-70s temps were an irresistible Saturday afternoon draw for locals looking to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather.

Near sunset, as we were driving out of the park, I noticed a commotion on one of the main throughways heading out (Park Blvd, if you live here), there was a lot of traffic but something else was going on; a lot of braking and commotion. I thought it might be a clever homeless juggler guy (saw a few of those earlier), a roadside "magician" or God forbid, a bicycle accident or something.

Nope.

As we inched our way down Park, the cause of the fuss became apparent: a strangly-scraggly, beaded, dread-locked and jobless (by choice and drug use; both someone else's fault) dirty-hippy Occupier was taunting the peaceful Balboa Park families exiting the area with a large OCCUPY SAN DIEGO! sign.

She desperately flailed and flaunted said sign with her left hand (her good hand?) while also violently banging away on some sort of snare like a circus chimp on coke with her right hand. I assume that just like us, park visitors were not enamored, amused or sympathetic to this sad woman's cause. The bright side is that her effort was obviously playing a small role in the final discreditation of #OccupyWallStreet, at least locally.

OccupyWallStreet: "Brains"... and "We are coming for your money!"
It's no wonder that, according to Rasmussen, a clear majority of likely voters see #Occupiers as nothing more than drug-addled nuisances.

It's kind of like the windshield squeegee guys in Manhattan a few years back. At first they were a novelty and folks indulged them. But when they became belligerent -- and an incredible nuisance -- their welcome quickly faded.

  1. Maher is attacking them out of disappointment more than any solidarity with conservatives. He, like all lefties, had so much hope when this all started. They banged drums to get everyone's attention, and when they got our attention... they banged on drums some more. Smoking dope and getting laid are not political agendas.

    They are a failure because, like the drug-addled rabble they are, they had no agenda and nothing worthy to say once they got our attention. Too bad. Had they cleaned up their act, purged the communists and marched on DC instead, we'd have all been with them.

    1. "attacking them out of disappointment" Well, that, and the need to distance themselves from the rabble before November...

    2. I'm sure you are right, Kurt. I love witnessing the epic fail that the press and Democrat party hoped above all hope Occupy entailed or would become.

  2. Hell I would like to break a window at Starbucks for constantly screwing up my Mocha drink. I am an addict and demand a drinkable Mocha.

  3. LCR: Good use of the zombie picture! OWS is pretty much zombie proof, in that zombies are looking for brains!
