> [@Giraffes\_Can\_t\_Dance](#): > > You lazy bums have to do a little work for yourselves, so I’ll let you look up the accounts of sexual-assaults that were so prevalent in occupy camps, that women were forced to find safe places in their own secure tents. None of that would tell us anything about who, if anybody, funded the demonstration. ---

Yes, it is; and then if you can come up with arguments/evidence against the credibility of those sources, that’s fair game too. ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > You’re right. I fucked that up twice. :smack: Well, look, you demand cites of posters with whom you disagree, and I’ll demand cites of posters with whom I disagree. That’s fair, isn’t it? Neither of us is obliged to cite-police the whole Board, not even the Mods are so obliged. ---

> [@Giraffes\_Can\_t\_Dance](#): > > It’s really not particularly interesting that I didn’t mention the Tea Party. Occupy was the source of discussion, so I used a more recent “movement”, Black lives matter, as an example of recent faux group. The Tea Party has long been dead. Stop being so partisan. > > If you choose to overlook the evidence that supports the financial backing of “BLM” that’s on you. It’s a dangerous and corrupt organization funded by big money. It is lead by professional antagonists. It is very interesting that you refused to mention the Tea Party, since it is the largest recent movement created and funded by particular interests. I have not “overlooked” any evidence that BLM has been so funded, as you have failed to provide any such evidence and no one else has, either. Your accusations of partisanship are risible in the extreme, given that every post you have made, thus far, has been nothing but partisan blather. > [@Giraffes\_Can\_t\_Dance](#): > > George Soros, the Billionaire leftist–who these morons neglect to understand is a part of Wallstreet–also financed the riots that took place in Ferguson. Again, PAID protesters. > > I’m sure I’m going to regret providing you with the specifics you so desired. Take the baton and do some research yourself. Again, ignorance is the problem. Oooh! More nonsense without a single shred of evidence accompanied by a claim that your partisan claims will be doubted by other partisans, so you are not even going to bother providing the evidence. (I realize you later linked to some fact free, Right Wing Conspiracy sites to support your claims, but at the point where the above quotes were posted, you had provided nothing.) Of course, having watched this sort of act for years, I will merely note that a gratuitous assertion may be gratuitously ignored and will simply laugh at you until you bother to provide something more than tired, unsupported rants or Right Wing Blogs of that spew the sort of nonsense that people like Coulter and Beck invent. The Left certainly has its idiots and partisan hacks. That your posts are nothing but partisan nonsense does not make them more accurate that the nonsense spewed from the Left. ---
