The Occupy Wall Street/Flea Party movement has just passed its one-month mark — seems fitting to have an anniversary round-up of the “Best of the OWS Protest” for op-ed political cartoons.
Or, as late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has tagged it, “the largest homeless slumber party in the world.”
Talk show host Craig Ferguson also noted, “The Occupy Wall Street protests continue to grow. They’ve started to attract a very unsavory element — celebrities.”
Badum-ching!

About the author
I'm a conservative frugalist.
My priorities: Watchdogging the government, making sure our tax dollars are spent wisely, living within our budgets (at home and in Washington, DC), and adhering to our Constitution and the conservative principles upon which it was developed by our founding fathers. Also, loving God, my family, and my country.
Be wise, be frugal. God bless America!
It’s an interesting collection of toons.
Written by people who haven’t actually listened to the consensus of the #Occupy movement. We’re talking about a global grassroots change in humanity’s organizational structure, founded on the basis of sharing, nonviolence, mutual respect, and giving everyone a voice. Of course, not everyone who goes to a general assembly embraces these ideas.

We simply want to exist, to do the work of education, charity, and cooperation that the mainstream media, American capital, and non-representative republic does not find in its best interests to do. The methods are the message.
“Simply want to exist.” What in the heck does that mean? Tea party events want smaller government, more freedoms, more adherence to the Constitution, and does it without violence – OWS wants more handouts, more freebies, and is blaming Wall Street for something that Obama and Congress caused.
The riots, violence, vandalism, defecation in public, masturbation in public, sex in public, illegal drug use in public, child pimping, filth in the Occupy encampments, and thousands of arrests across the country are not speaking well for your cause. “Occupy Wall Street” should be “Occupy White House” – why aren’t you decrying what Team Obama has done to destroy jobs, the economy, escalate the debt, increase government spending, increase American poverty, and myriad other atrocities? Obama took over student loans, which has permitted colleges/universities to escalate tuition costs. When the government “guarantees” anything, and free market principles no longer apply, prices soar because they can get away with it. Manipulation of the economy by the government has historically never worked.
Capitalism is not the problem – intrusive socialist, Nanny State government is. And Pres. Obama is the main problem, buttercup. I am one of the 99 percent and I see that you’re protesting against Wall Street that only followed the laws, tax mandates, and regulations that Obama and his administration put into place. Yes, there is greed there, but there is greater greed and corruption and economic ignorance in DC.
Blame the right party.
