Are the people in the Wall Street protests anything other than?

Same miscreants. You'll see them at every stinking rally where commies, socialists, hippies, and other cretins are expected to be. They are leeches on the society that they want to overthrow, and would be the first to suppress others "rights" as soon as they got control. They are hypocrites of the highest order and useful idiots. Tools of the Obamanation. Why aren't they protesting George Soros, (currently worth several BILLION)? Because he's one of their puppet-masters...that's why.

There is one simply overriding goal of the Occupy Wall Street protests, as spelled out clearly on the Wikipedia page on the subject: "Separate money from politics". It's that simple.
