SternSkipper -> Popular Conservative Magazine 'The Nation' Publishes Article On Occupation Protesters ... (10/6/2011 4:54:53 PM)

Okay... So maybe I fibbed about the Nation being 'Conservative'.... woops[:D]

Unions, Thousands Join Occupy Wall Street’s Fight Allison Kilkenny on October 5, 2011 - 7:29pm ET Thousands of protesters gathered in Foley Square today as part of Occupy Wall Street’s largest event to date. Unions from the Transport Workers Union, SEIU 1199, and the United Federation of Teachers all joined the protest to voice their discontent at what they call a bailout of Wall Street, while working-class people are left to suffer under a system of austerity. Ayman El-Sayed, a member of the nurses union, said he came to the protest to stand in solidarity with the Liberty Plaza activists.  El-Sayed is having difficulty finding steady work in New York City, but he still tries to protest in between job-hunting. “I come before work, I come after work when I can, but I find this Occupy Wall Street movement is important because it will help future workers: better benefits, get better jobs, get more stability, and not be neglected by their government, which bails out banks instead of bailing out workers.”  El-Sayed mentions the negative consequences of the city’s budget cuts, including the closing of the 400-bed St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers, which sealed its doors back in April. “I wanted to be a nurse to contribute to my community, so I could pay my mortgage, pay my bills, raise my kids, but also help people and help my community,” he explains before addressing the media’s negative depiction of some of the protesters as pot-smoking hippies engaging in an endless drum circle. “God bless these youth who are out here, because while I’m at work, they can hold it down till I can get off work and come down and stand with them. Everybody plays a role. Even if some of them are hippies, they’re Americans. They have a right to speak their opinion. I don’t care how they dress or what they do,” he says.Click on Article Text for More...

Watching the "news" coverage from the Conservative Mainstream media, I was reminded of this quote:
