"And this clown expects Progressive[s] to give our hard earned money and time to support his re-election campaign. We need the Democrats to get out of bed with Wall Street, to co-op the energy of this movement, and for Obama to become the transformational leader we thought we were electing. "

Wrote "Kromanov" at CBS' News: "I'm getting my old rear out there. Just plain sick of filthy greed. Come out all you old momma's and poppa's. (sic) This is not a young peoples fight -- let's join them."

Protesters accuse the New York police of directing them into Brooklyn Bridge's traffic lanes while marching Saturday and then arresting them for blocking the roadway. The mass arrests came as word began spreading that JPMorganChase donated $4.6 million to the New York Police Foundation.

Rep. Charles Rangel showed up Saturday and urged the protesters to "take our country back," but protesters pointedly asked him to leave. "You, sir, have no business being here - you're part of the problem," CBS News' reported the protesters retorting.

The NYPD's clumsy tactics discloses its bias toward the protesters as political outcasts. But the force's misjudgment has only triggered more media attention and public sympathy for the protesters.

A chief lament about OccupyWallStreet has been that participants don't have a unified message. The criticism has forced organizers to distill their message and come up with a list of demands, including the negation of the Supreme Court's "Citizens Unite Vs. FCC" ruling that enabled unlimited corporate spending on political campaigns, as well as investigations of "Wall Street criminals" that triggered the 2008 financial collapse.

Increasingly, political observers and journalists are suggesting lists of their own demands.

Despite protesters' lack of a singular message, their motives lie in real pain and suffering as writer Eli Schmitt can vouch.

"Compared to other large-scale protests I’d attended in my life -- the WTO protest in Washington D.C. in 2000, various antiwar protests throughout the early aughts —the aggravating causes here [are] less abstract,'' writes Schmitt at N+1 who visited the protesters Sept. 24.

"These were not Americans decrying foreign policy. They were Americans in debt, Americans out of work. This “day of rage” was inspired by personal injustices...Along with all the familiar righteous ire at corporate sway in our supposedly democratic political system, there were tales of joblessness, debt, and desperation."

Schmitt finished his essay this way: "

"It is possible, I think, without being starry-eyed or overeager, to be hopeful. And it is OK to be hesitant. It is OK to want to get something but also not be sure exactly how to get it, or even what it is....If we have not precisely enumerated our demands yet, at least we know that we have them.

"We would like to get something."
