Surely somebody in SoCal must have a crop duster laden with police grade OC sitting around.

Are we to assume that somewhere, deep in the recesses of their mind, they see a connection between occupy and octopi?
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Is that what it's supposed to be?  An octopus?

I just took a guess.

Only a third grader knows for sure.

I believe the octopus may be a reference back to 19th Century muckraking against the wealthiest and most powerful in society; there was a book about the oppression of the people by the monopolistic power of a railway, which was so titled.

And here I was thinking that the choice was more elementary. Choosing octopi because it rhymed with occupy.

Very poor showing for a group that Nads thinks is growing metaphysically.
Oh, yes, the rubicon has been tipped, and yes, the cows are angry.
Dirty hippies with garbage bags. Very fitting, I believe.

Looks like a giant used condom to me.

The mayor caved in.  But, it was AFTER the actual parade, after the media had cut away, and par for the course, they were followed by 3 truckloads of cops in riot gear.

Anyone can follow along after the formal parade.
Lots of spectators do that.
End of parade is marked by four LEO vehicles, afterwhich anyone, may join in.
In other words, they werent "in" the parade, just following behind it.

Thanks.

The float has been promoted as part of the parade for a few days now at the DUmp. I should kept in mind what Frank says about DUmmies and lies.

I hope they used the garbage bags from their float to clean up the parade route afterwards, but we know the left never does that.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

WTF? I swear, I think drugs have eaten away what little brain matter most DUmmies had.

Could be the effects of hypoxia, from holding their breaths until they get what the want.

Gotta love how hard occupiers get into character -- bobbing up and down so Octupy's tentacles undulate just right.

 :lmao:  Some people are embarrassed by nothing.  The comments were a big squabble.  As is most comments sections these days.  This country is so divided.....

Hey, you don't want to get caught in the crossfire do you?
