This is one of those lines that I'm sure all, or at least most, of us, at one time or another, have heard as we were growing up in homes all around the country. Perhaps mothers have drawn this wisdom from the Bible and Proverbs 13:20: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." Excellent words to live by but that are, more often then not, simply ignored.
Anyway, besides having been a very good rule of thumb to have paid some level of attention to during the last election, many folks, very obviously, didn't. And it is also an excellent way to cast aside all of the nonsense having to do with this Occupy Wall Street being, in any way, some sort of a "grassroots" enterprise. Either way, various new and information outlets have presented details on the people inside the Occupy Wall Street "movement" as well as those believed to be supporting it not only with money, but also with material goods (sleeping bags, non-perishable foods, etc.), organizational skills, and even storage space. They have named names from the White House to the American Nazi Party and have shown the various connections to several unions (like SEIU, UFT, and TWU) and pointed out the organizers like the Working Families Party and ACORN.
So while I cannot, in any way, claim credit for the assembling of the following list, what I can do is to spread the word as best I can regarding just who it is that is behind these continuing protests. Protests that have been described by so many as being similar in nature to the Tea Party. And I ask you to consider the recently posted Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors, and sympathizers put together by intrepid blogger Zombie.
“Local” supporters:
Communist Party USA
The American Nazi Party
Revolutionary Communist Party
Black Panthers
Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan
CAIR
Some big names in the political world have also lent support to the cause:
President Barack Obama
Vice President Joe Biden
Nancy Pelosi
International Leaders and Governments:
Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei
Hugo Chavez
Revolutionary Guards of Iran
The Govt of North Korea
Communist Party of China
Hezbollah
So after now having gone over the above list I should think that it becomes readily apparent that this bunch of Occupy Wall Street losers is in no way something that can even remotely be described as being something that is "grassroots" in nature. “As each new controversial endorsement has appeared over the last month, OWS supporters have dismissed them one by one as ‘isolated examples’ that don’t reflect any overall trend toward extremism,” writes Zombie. “But when viewed in aggregate like this, it becomes much more difficult to dismiss any individual endorsement as an aberration; instead, an undeniable pattern emerges.” Zombie has sourced the list with links back to evidence of participation or support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It will be regularly updated.
Remember all of the "astro turf" comments made by old "Stretch" Pelosi and any number of Democrats during all of those town hall discussions that took place regarding Obamacare? Kinda funny that when we actually do have demonstrations that fit quite nicely into what Ms. Pelosi defined as being "astro turfing," she has been remarkable silent in drawing any such conclusions regarding these Occupy Wall Street malcontents. On the contrary, she's busily claiming this time around that these Occupy Wall Street demonstrations represent democracy in action. Now this level of hypocrisy would normally, and in all likelihood, embarrass most people, but I think it very safe to say that old Nancy and just about any other Democrat you'd like to name, are about as far removed from being considered normal people as you can possibly get. So I don't think that there's much chance of any embarrassment happening here.
