An Egypt-styled “Arab Spring,” which has put radicals in charge of the government, will be launched in the United States this spring with a war on “corporate power, Wall Street greed and the political corruption of the 1 percent,” according to the group headed by former Obama green aide Van Jones. “They’re really not going to like the 99 percent Spring,” said Rebuild the Dream in an organizing email Friday. Comparing the collection of protests last year that are symbolized by the 99 percent campaign and Occupy movement, to those of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., the group said that “we were all inspired by the protesters of the Arab Spring who stood up to totalitarian governments, and inspired the Occupy movement here in America.” The plan for now is to hold protest training sessions around the nation next week. Over 900 are scheduled so far. Once ready, the group and dozens of others, notably MoveOn.org and labor unions, will launch the “99 Percent Spring” offensive against government and financial centers. “We're at a crossroads as a country. In recent years, millions have lost their jobs, homes have been foreclosed, and an unconscionable number of children live in poverty. We have to stand up to the people who caused of all this and confront the rampant greed and deliberate manipulation of our democracy and our economy by a tiny minority in the 1%,” said Caroline Murray, of Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund, in the organizing email.

I usually ignore stuff like this as political spin/propaganda,but this has the ring of truth because those idiots really ARE stupid enough to believe the poor provide jobs. The sad,sad truth is that another revolution is long overdue in this country,and I say "Let the games begin!"

Was the guy taking a crap on the police car, MKL or Ghandi?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
