Really. American Nazi Party has joined the Communist Party of America, Hugo Chavez, Nancy Pelosi, etc, etc in support of the “Occupy” movement. Cool, now we can actually actually bring up the term! lol
even the Republican Party is starting to like it:

Yes, every morning when I’m seeking an honest appraisal of what Republicans want, I look to the Huffington Post for the answer. 
lol I used to like Huffpo as one of my lefty sources, but rarely go there any more because they dropped over the edge on ad space and pop-ups in the last year or so. I think she sold out to AOL just in time.
Saw some talking head show over the weekend, and they quizzed an admin guy about trying to harness OWS for dem political purposes. I hope it happens, as it may bring some coherent message(s) and some discipline to the mobs.
uh oh, even left-wingers are leary:
“One of the core differences between liberals and radicals is that liberals are capitalists. They believe in a capitalism that is democratically regulated—that seeks to level an unfair economic playing field so that all citizens have the freedom to make what they want of their lives. But these are not the principles we are hearing from the protesters. Instead, we are hearing calls for the upending of capitalism entirely. American capitalism may be flawed, but it is not, as Slavoj Zizek implied in a speech to the protesters, the equivalent of Chinese suppression. “ 2011, the Chinese government prohibited on TV and films and in novels all stories that contain alternate reality or time travel,” Zizek declared. “This is a good sign for China. It means that people still dream about alternatives, so you have to prohibit this dream. Here, we don’t think of prohibition. Because the ruling system has even oppressed our capacity to dream. Look at the movies that we see all the time. It’s easy to imagine the end of the world. An asteroid destroying all life and so on. But you cannot imagine the end of capitalism.” This is not a statement of liberal values; moreover, it is a statement that should be deeply offensive to liberals, who do not in any way seek the end of capitalism.
Zizek is not alone. His statement is typical of the anti-capitalist, almost utopian arguments that one hears coming from these protesters. A recent debate about whether to allow Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights icon, to speak to Occupy Atlanta was captured on video and ended up on YouTube. As Lewis looked on, arguments on both sides were bandied about. “The point of this general assembly is to kick-start a democratic process in which no singular human being is inherently more valuable than any other human being,” argued one protester. Ultimately, because no “consensus” could be reached, Lewis was turned away. Yes, like the Zizek speech, this was just one data point. But surely it was an indication that liberal skepticism about this movement is not unwarranted.”
