Fox News Host: “I mean, its like a derivative of actual pepper. It’s a food product, essentially.”
Exactly! Like jalapeno poppers, or queso dip. Delicious. In fact, pepper spray is about 1,000 times hotter than a jalapeno
YES! Let's diminish using Pepper Spray on students, after all its just a "food product"

Top 5 FOX myths to debunk this Thanksgiving
MYTH #1: The congressional Super Committee failed because both sides refuse to compromise.
REALITY: The Super Committee failed because Republicans' number one, non-negotiable priority is to protect millionaires and billionaires from paying even one more penny in taxes.1 Democrats repeatedly offered deep spending cuts (far deeper than most progressives would like) in exchange for raising taxes on the wealthy and closing corporate loopholes, only to be refused again and again.2 So even though the vast majority of Americans say they want to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits, and raise taxes on the rich and corporations,3 that won't happen until Republicans put aside their extremist stance.
MYTH #2: Nobody knows what Occupy Wall Street is about.
REALITY: Occupy Wall Street may not have a formal list of demands, but anyone who's been paying attention understands the core problems that occupiers are protesting—that corporations have far too much power in our political system, that Wall Street banks crashed our economy but were never held accountable, and that the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans—156 million people—combined.4
MYTH #3: Occupiers should stop protesting and just get a job.
REALITY: As anybody who's looked for a job in the last few years knows, there just aren't jobs out there. That's a big part of why occupiers are protesting. In September, there were four times as many unemployed people as job openings.5 And for those who are lucky enough to find a job, median wages today are lower than they were a decade ago.6
MYTH #4: Occupy Wall Street is intent on provoking violence, especially against banks and the police.
REALITY: Occupations across the country have committed themselves to nonviolent protest, in the greatest traditions of protest movements. Some of their protests have been met with acts of police violence—tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets7—but in many cases, protesters have reminded police that the police are part of the 99%, too.8 And in the few cases when people have shown up at occupations and committed acts of vandalism, other protesters have even repaired their acts of vandalism.9
MYTH #5: The biggest crisis facing our country is out of control government spending.
REALITY: The two biggest drivers of our deficit—by far—are the economic crash and the Bush tax cuts.10 We have millions of people out of work, corporations hoarding cash, and factories sitting idle. If we put all those people back to work—rebuilding infrastructure, educating our children, and researching new technologies—it'll shrink the deficit and make our economy stronger for the long haul. And we can easily afford it if we make sure the rich—who are taking home a larger percentage of income than any time since 191711—pay their fair share.

They're just practicing at the OWS camps, getting ready for Camp 4. Then the Pit at Joshua Tree, and other disgusting scenes of depravity.

Site #33 will be the first to be pacified - they'll be looking for the PCM banner, and the investment advisor who doesn't know how to search on the internet.

Ummm, PhatTrad? Why is it you think I should be protesting at the OWS Vancouver event? I agree with some of the philosophy and world view that they express, and have some sympathy with them generally. As they haven't expressed goals in any very coherent way, there's nothing much to support or oppose there - although I certainly support their right to freedom of expression, however ineptly exercised. I have doubts that the OWS group will amount to much more than inchoate disccontent and some anger, though.
Support can take different forms, and hardly requires physical presence, or participating in street theatre. Simply speaking (in part) on their behalf, for example. After all, you said you supported (sort of) the teabaggers - but did you attend any of their protests?

Oh yea Skippy I love it when you talk stupid.
Like some kind of toothless Southern banjo player.

Why do you feel this way? There is no truth in what you say and yet you say it over and over.
Why do you feel so strongly about this movement that you are willing to be so clearly exposed as a pathetic liar? How did you feel about the TeaBaggers and their assault rifles and other deadly weapons at political rallies?
Here is your 99%er at the OWS.
Oh and Chaz thinks he is stupid too.
Yeah Police Captains must be stupid, lazy hippies contributing nothing but wanting everything for free.
Scurry off cock-roach the lights are on!
