What A Stupid Question By The Las Vegas Sun

The Las Vegas Sun has a really editorial board and today shows their lack of intelligence once again.
From the Sun:
To: Our readers
From: Editorial staff
Re: The Occupy Wall Street movement
Our first thought on Occupy Wall Street was snarky: Occupy Wall Street? Can’t someone create an Occupy Las Vegas movement? We’d love to see people “occupy” the Strip — peacefully, that is, as tourists. They can spend their money, have a great time and make a statement that they care about Nevada’s economy.
OK. We’re done being snarky. More seriously, we understand why people are protesting, and we would think that most Nevadans would, too. The economy here has struggled — the state has the highest unemployment rate. It also has had the highest foreclosure rate due to the burst of the housing bubble.
Let’s face it, “Wall Street” — the financial industry — certainly played a role in the economic collapse. As many commentators and letter writers have noted, there doesn’t seem to be much justice: Rob a bank, go to jail; help tank the economy, get a bonus. Yes, we know, the economy and the situation are more complex than that, but that’s the perception of many people: Too big to fail, Wall Street got bailed out and Main Street got the bill.
So what do you think?
Do you agree with the Occupy Wall Street movement or is it just hot air? Are you angry about this, and if so, who are you angry at? Did Wall Street get off easy in this? Should it be more regulated? What could or should be done from here to help the economy?

Well, to answer the Sun's snarky question, they tried to have an Occupy Las Vegas last week and it was an epic failure. Less than 500 people showed up and it was not mainstream people who attended the epic failure. Just a bunch of spoiled brat college kids who want free education or didn't get what they were promised or a bunch of dirty liberals who are pissed off at the world because their policies have been a failure. Further, the rally on the Strip was bankrolled by the local unions and they could only get less than 500 people.
So, they ask about a bunch on stupid questions in an effort to make themselves seem relevant. And why are these questions being asked now and not about a year ago? This stuff is old news. Maybe, if they asked these questions a year ago, it would have interfered with Crybaby Harry Reid's 2010 re-election campaign? Nah, couldn't be that, could it?
And the headline of the editorial: Is Occupy Wall Street a Main Street movement?
That in itself a stupid question, unless being anarchist, liberal who don't take baths, litter, who vandalize, trespass and break other laws, who are only looking for attention and are bankrolled by the Democrats, unions and George Soros are main stream Americans.
No, the people who participate in Occupy Wall Street or in any other city are, for the most part, are a bunch of spoiled brats or anarchists who want to change the way of life in America by making us communist or worse and really don't give a crap about Wall Street, banks and their crimes.

So, just another brilliant editorial piece of crap from the Las Vegas Sun.
