As the Occupy Wall Street movement moves into its fourth week, the number of protesters showing up every day continues to swell. Many in the media have called it the left's tea party, while some have tried to delegitimize the protester's opinions by casting them as do-nothing college kids who are incoherent, disorganized and silly.
So who captured the protesters best? John Darkow of the Columbia Daily Tribune or Nate Beeler of the Washington Examiner?

John Darkow / Columbia Daily Tribune

could you tell us about %1 please? maybe we can learn something from you and we can get some light from you.. you..
Why did you run Cartoon #2? Is that your effort to be "fair" by the false equivalence of showing "both sides" as if there is that is the "other side?" That is not the other side. That is the false marginalizing of real problems and real protest by opponents of it who know that their "side" is both immoral and unpopular. The "other side" is actually the advocacy of socialized loss and privatized gains on the backs of the poor and middle class people.
Stop kowtowing to Sarah Palin and be a freaking news organization!
I agree Heather.
Hear Hear!
so i guess it would have been wrong to prove that the occupy wallstreet nonsense is just that? a bunch of mindless clueless lemmings?
No, jen. That's not the Tea Party that's occupying Wall Street.
Oliver Wendell Holmes’s famous dictum that “Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” NOT TO SUPPORT AN OLIGARCHY OF PLUTOCRATS! "Occupy Wall Street" NOW!

Why are only 27 1/2% of people involved with this WE consciousness from the United States?
Occupy Wall Street Helps Create World Peace One and not World War Three - http://www.aunitedworld.net/99.
WE are the 99% - http://www.aunitedworld.net/ows.
The WE Party Mentors (www.wepartymentors.info) are creating peacefull resolutions (www.pifphilosophy.info) at their WE PARTIES (www.weparties.info)
WE are the WE Party (www.weparty.info) and our motto is do what is right!
There are lots of folks in this movement, but how many can provide jobs for those holding the signs?
Then there are the signs that have the Union name on the bottom. Let's try something new and different....let's let Unions own some companies and let their leadership and ardent members build some things that are affordable to other Americans and can compete with similar goods and services found throughout the world.
I'll buy them when they can. Until then, I'll buy the best value I can find in the market. Not always the cheapest, nor the highest priced, but what I deem to be the best value.
So rather than "marching" why don't these Union leaders and their members simply build a better mouse trap and sell it to the world?
In San Diego one of our local radio hosts went to the "Occupy San Diego" group and asked simple questions, such as, "Why are you protesting?"..."What do you think can be accomplished by your actions?", "What are your suggestions for fixing the problems you think we face?". Of the people I heard, the smartest one was the fellow who told the radio host that he didn't want to be interviewed! The others sounded like clueless morons with no understanding of the issues they felt called upon to rail about, and were only too happy to prove the point by talking at length to the man.
I, too, happen to believe that Wall Street greed and unethical practices need to be addressed and corrected, that banks (aided and abetted by misguided Federal government edicts and policies) are guilty of making bad loans (that were subsequently turned into falsely-rated, triple-A securities and sold on Wall Street), and must be held accountable, and that the trillions of dollars in stimulus and bailouts (started by the Bush Administration and continued, on steroids, by the Obama Administration) have been outrageous and ineffective wastes of the public treasury.
Mr. Beeler's cartoon , as nearly as I can tell, hits the ball out of the park...most of these "occupiers" haven't got the slightest idea what has happened, why it happened, and how to correct the current economic problems. All sound and fury, but lacking substance!
