The threat of OWS

I've been wanting to write about the Occupy movement for a while, but have been watching it instead. I did not anticipate the tenacity of the movement or individuals, but I did anticipate the reaction of the conservatives.
Dirty Hippies, defecating on police cars. Sex in public! Public urination!
I'm shocked at the latest-pepper spraying in University of California at Davis, same for New York and Seattle.
Republicans are becoming scared because the movement is forcing people to think about things like income inequality and excessive corporate and wealth's influence on the government. Conservatives have been very successful at keeping attention on other matters, guns, gays, God, etc. in order to keep focus on anything other than how money has thoroughly corrupted government.
I'm having trouble, though, with how Republicans are trying to belittle those who are exercising their rights in a perfectly appropriate, non-violent manner.
The Newtster said last night, referring to the movement, that they should take a bath and get a job. Of course, Newt is at the very heart of the problem of corruption, and that bastion of integrity is a great focus on its effects. Apparently, he doesn't even realize that people may be upset that he collected $1.6 million from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae while publicly criticizing other politicians who supported them. Oh, and when asked in the debate about taking $300,000 from them, he failed to mention that it was actually 5 or 6 times that.
Does he remind anyone else of the Pillsbury dough boy with a second rate intellect and a third rate moral compass? May I remind the reader that he was denouncing Bill Clinton from the House floor while having running around on his second wife with his future third? Maybe its just me.
Anyway, the following is an example of a portion of a dangerous communist manifesto. Anybody recognize it? Anybody up for exercising it?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (emphasis added).
