The 1% protest OWS: 'Get a Job!' 'Occupy a Desk!'
Fox5 in New York showed some anti-Occupy Wall Street protesters this morning in their live coverage. Holding up green placards that read "GET A JOB!" and "OCCUPY A DESK!", the two men screamed at the crowds for making their trip to work difficult. One said, “These people who have no jobs are in our way. We work on Wall Street, we cannot get to work — these people are in our way." And as the crowd heckled them, the other man screamed at the protesters. “Get outta here! Get outta here!” Finally one of the protesters got in front of them and before the cameras to state that he was a teacher and that "these two shitheads here.....", which prompted the station to cut the live-feed in haste, apologizing for the profanity.
The two anti-protesters were identified as brothers Derek and John Tabacco, "small business owners". A two second google search revealed that yes we had seen them before. John Tabacco in particular seems to have been something of a fixture on both Fox News and Fox Business News. Here's an appearance of his from 2008, where he tells us of the wonders of short-selling.
I suppose the surprise here isn't that Fox affiliates engage in the same practices as their network but that they're just as obvious about it.
UPDATE: And here is his brother Derek, this morning, referring to the protesters as "animals". (h/t) DangerousMinds
The freakin idiot can't get to work because he's standing around holding a placard.
Drop the placard and walk to work, or call a cab, or take the bus, or call in late, or ???, blame the media...
"1% Screams at 99%: 'Get out of the way so we can continue wrecking your lives!'"
Work requires energy so how does occupying a desk constitute "work"?
kneeling at the feet of the kings.
NOBODY 2012
...most of them have jobs, and those who are unemployed don't have jobs because bozos like these took them away.
The unemployed don't have jobs because *ssholes like those two didn't do theirs properly. The response to them is, "DO YOUR JOB!"
..you work on Wall Street, you don't have a job.
You have a state-sanctioned licence to gamble, steal & construct Ponzi Schemes.
For these assholes to tell people to get a job is like Rush Limbaugh telling somebody to go on a diet.
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.

"When you're president -- as opposed the head of a private equity firm -- your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot." - President Barack Obama
The reason they are protesting, is because the job creators made all their jobs disappear, while cutting the wages and benefits of those who are still lucky enough to have jobs.
Not to mention that the people bailed their worthless theiving asses out after their ponzi schemes came crashing down - so they could continue to live high on the taxpayers, while mocking them.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

I guess that they just happened to be going to work carrying their signs and that Faux News just happened to be there to capture their moment of spontaneity?
