Protesters coming down with the “Zuccotti Lung”

OWS protesters coming down with the “Zuccotti Lung”. “That’s what demonstrators are calling the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days.” If one of OWS’s “goals” was to turn NYC into a third-world nation, mission accomplished! And think about what one OWSer said: “We’re the biggest tourist attraction in New York, and we shake everyone’s hands.”

  • The media keeps talking about the OWS movement like they are hero's. Zuccotti Lung?? STD's?? Peeing in bottles?? These people aren't hero's, they are savages. The only "movement" I've seen so far involved a cop car!

  • The OWSer always say that they're forming a new community. Unfortunately it's a community with medieval sanitation levels. Yeah, lets tear down the United States and bring back TB, typhus, plague and all those other diseases that made life in the 14th century nasty, brutish and short.

  • Sounds like it's time to start sending these "Typhoid Marys" to camp FEMA. Too bad Bloomburg and Micheal Moore hasn't gotten a dose!!

  • Right on! Come on with the hepititis and leprosy. They're already breeding mange, crotch crickets, head lice, the dirty lung bisquit and pus leaking clapp. A real appetizer to want to be there.

  • Quarantine them. Solves two problems at once. Send them off to a "medical camp" in the middle of nowhere, you know the kind of place that Obungles would like to send conservatives. Force medical care, make them wash, and get a clean bill of health before they are allowed to leave, and since they are carriers of serious illness, flag them and restrain them from returning to their OWS shithole.
