QUOTE Christopher M. Simmance, a leader of Occupy Buffalo, told several media outlets that he served as many as three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only that, but he also claims to have been so severely injured by an RPG while in combat in Afghanistan, that he only has 10 years left to live. Army service records, however, show a very different story, reporting that Simmance was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington for three years and left active-duty in January 2001 — before the September 11 attacks.
But it gets worse.
Simmance claims he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2001 where he served in the “Valley of Elah.”
If that name sounds familiar, it is because “The Valley of Elah” refers to the site where the Biblical battle between David and Goliath took place — it is also the name of a 2007 movie starring Tommy Lee Jones.
There is no “Valley of Elah” in Afghanistan.
Army records reveal that Simmance left active-duty service with the rank of E4, or specialist, not staff sergeant, and was stationed at Fort Lewis for the duration of his active-duty service.
What a bunch of fruit cakes...
The Occupy movement is filled with kooks.
Instead of boycotting businesses on Black Friday (who employ hundreds of thousands of people), they should be marching on 1500 Pennsylvania Ave...
...and Obummer, Pelosi & Co. support this movement.

I also think the 99%/1% they use is dishonest and not representative of the majority of americans. I resent the fact that they think they are representing me.

Why make the occupy movement political?
I know for a fact that if the exact same thing happened in the Tea Party you idiots would shut up. That only proves how biased you are and nothing more.

Stone-- QUOTE I know for a fact that if the exact same thing happened in the Tea Party you idiots would shut up. That only proves how biased you are and nothing more.
But that's CC's point.
Nobody from the Tea Party has made "Stolen Honor" claims, like this lying sack.
I don't know of any arrests of Tea Party demonstrators--the occu-nuts have been arrested by the hundreds.
The Tea Party people--despite their anger at the gubmint--are pretty peaceful--unlike the radicals that can't seem to articulate what they are protesting.
The Tea Party folks seem to pretty well police themselves--anybody gets out of line, they are "out of the parade." Not so with the occu-nuts.
The Tea Party people do their demonstration--then go back to their life. For the loons, the protest IS their life.
When they DO leave, the place is clean--not filled with garbage, syringes, weapons, and crap left for others to clean up.
The Hippie movement in the '60s caught the public attention for a while, too--until REALITY set in, and people started thinking "You know, these freeloaders are really FILTHY--they smell bad, they don't contribute anything, and they really aren't grounded in reality."
I guess it's a lesson that has to be re-learned every 20 years or so.

Reminds me of that crazy TEA organization and how there was a racist sign or remark now and then. I mean, I bet they're all racist inbred kooks because of that!
^You see how silly that looks? That's the kind of thing said all over FOX and the conservative blogs, some litter (have bad hygiene, etc.), so they ALL must be just like that. 
We could be talking about campaign finance reform, tax/budget policy, the wars, etc. Instead we're talking about the service record of some guy in Buffalo, NY. It's just another diversion from the real issues.
QUOTE Instead of boycotting businesses on Black Friday (who employ hundreds of thousands of people), they should be marching on 1500 Pennsylvania Ave...
If someone believes it's the banks and other large corporations own the politicians, then you'd protest the banks and corporations in question. It's obvious enough, if you look at the posters or the flags they've used with Corporate logos in place of the stars. Granted, I think it's in poor taste (and against the flag code) to change the U.S. flag, but you get the point.
Why be so defensive about Wall Street and the banks anyway? It would be great if they got involved in other ways also, and hopefully many of them are calling elected officials and all that, but I can't understand why protesting is only good if it's against Obama or Pelosi. There's enough blame to go around.
QUOTE I also think the 99%/1% they use is dishonest and not representative of the majority of americans. I resent the fact that they think they are representing me.
I don't care for the slogan, but for different reasons. The 99/1% thing makes it come across like one group against another based on income, and I don't think the 1% is real happy about the bailouts, campaign finance, or tax policy either.

That's a big claim, and one you can't possibly backup unless you were within earshot of every Tea member, at every rally.

You may have been out of the country, or watching FOX news (that sounds redundant):
My favorite incident, a few peaceloving Tea-partiers gang up on a young woman and one stomps on her head while others hold her down. You can see nobody seems to mind, well, other than the woman being beaten up.
Yeehaw! That's some good boot-kickin there.
Second fav, the TEA member who tries to post a Congressmen's home address for someone to stop by, I'm sure he meant peacefully stop by. Wrong address, and law enforcement finds a broken gas line indicating vandalism.
Close, but no cigar.
Third, vandalism and death threats on the rise after health care vote. Palin PAC indicates "surveyor marks" over Giffords district before her office is vandalised and she's later shot. Now, I don't know whether the shooter was a TEA member, but everyone knows they were crosshairs and Palin at another time said not to retreat, but reload. Not responsible for the shooting, but not exactly peace loving people by any stretch.
TIME
Here's a heckler at a Palin rally, he's clearly obnotious and not welcome. So, he tries to leave, but a few guys jump him before he can exit.
Heckler stopped from leaving

The Civil-Rights movement leading to what were the biggest accomplishments in the past Century in the area of desegregation. The anti-war message, calling for an end to aggression, Howard Zinn's protests and negotiations for the return of the first POW's.
^Just a bunch of freeloaders who didn't contribute anything?
