George Demos of Brookhaven, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 2012 NY-1 congressional race, took a shot Friday at , a protest planned in Sag Harbor Saturday in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.
Demos wrote in a statement to the media that he wished to offer "helpful tips" to protesters, such as, "Before breaking out the Crayolas to draw up Christmas lists of demands, have an adult spell-check for you," and "The press will come to interview you. (In fact, there are usually more members of the media than there are of you.) So comb your hair and don't smell."
He urged protesters to drink plenty of water: "Protesting the success of others can expend tremendous energy, so please remain hydrated — and not with your usual $6 bottles of water, but with Rush Limbaugh's Two if By Tea. Why? Because your customary Evian, Fiji and Perrier are made by the very kind of corporations you're railing against, while Mr. Limbaugh's tea helps support the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, a great charity that provides scholarships for the children of people killed in the line of duty protecting the very rights you'll be exercising this weekend."
Other tips asked out-of-towners who come to the demonstration to show courtesy. "When you visit our beaches, please leave only footprints," he wrote.
"[W]hile the right to peaceably assemble is one of our most cherished civil liberties, so is the right to private property and to feel secure in our homes." He noted that a former New York City mayor has a home in the Hamptons. "Mayor Rudy Giuliani lives near your planned protest and has little appetite for the lawlessness that Mayor Bloomberg is tolerating."
Demos' other "advice" included:
Soiling Cop Cars:
You may not defecate, urinate, damage or otherwise harm police vehicles. There are only a few police cars in Sag Harbor, they are all accounted for, and unavailable to serve as your personal restroom.
Sale and Use of Illegal Drugs:
We here on Eastern Long Island still "Just Say No." While Mayor Bloomberg seems more concerned about banning trans-fat and salt, we still take a zero tolerance approach to illegal drugs.
Damaging of Private Homes:
You don't get to destroy someone's home just because it's bigger than yours. I prosecuted real corporate criminals. They answer to the rule of law in America, not the rule of the mob.
Smashing Windows:
We don't tolerate vandalism. Just ask New York's squeegee men how much Rudy Giuliani tolerated their boorish behavior.
Now that's an oxymoron !
I went to Harvard and Columbia and my children shall only attend the best private academies. I have one of the biggest private jets in the world take me wherever I want. My wife wears $44,000 diamond bracelets and follows me in her own private fossil fuel burner. I play golf every weekend and the most expensive resorts. Goldman Sachs gives me millions of dollars and in turn I have appointed members of their firm to every major fiscally charged committee we have. When I retire, I'll get paid hundreds of millions $ in speaking fees by the largest multi national corporations and be a secret society of the illuminati. I'll make millions more as a board member of the corporations you are protesting. MY NAME IS BARACK OBAMA, AND I AM THE 1%. #OccupyWallStreet!

my word! You have much to offer to the elucidation of issues and explaining the anti-democratic teabaggers. If you would take the balls out of you mouth you might have something to say, but such stupidity as telling people to go to Cuba, etc if they disagree with you is about as enlightening of the angry teapartying teabaggers as me telling you to go to Somalia or Sudan where there is a small government, where your grandkids can run around with assault rifles and grenade launchers because small government respects the right of its people to arm themselves. I would love to go to Cuba or China or Venezuela, they have wonderful unique music, food & other hallmarks of a very interesting culture. But you. ..you will probably stay home, never leave LI, eat TV dinners & hum along with Lawrence Welk. The world is passing you by and all you can do is staY home and anonymously snipe at people who are not yet as angry or as cynical aS YOU ARE. The decline of white male power has you stomping in resentment & fulminating in envy of the young activists. Take a break & breathe deeply, you need oxygen.
Robert Johnson|October 11, 2011|22,191|29 24 77 (Business Insider) Coming on the heels of the Solyndra debacle, the Obama administration has just approved a $168.9 million loan guarantee for the Granite Reliable wind farm project owned by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM). Among its many holdings BAM owns Brookfield Renewable Power, which owns the Granite Reliable and it also owns Brookfield Office Properties, whose holdings include the now famous Zuccotti Park. The Department of Energy finalized the loan guarantee less than a week after Occupy Wall Street protesters took to Zuccotti Park, and with the Obama administration's Tuesday endorsement of the protests, rumors are starting to circulate that this could be the reason Brookfield is allowing protesters to remain on its property.

It's been grotesque how you troll the Wall Street movement then take immature shots, talking about hair, clothes, calling them all hippies, druggies or whatever. These people are sleeping on concrete fighting for their basic rights. You wouldn't catch a teabagger sleeping in a park for months out of conviction. You are only distracting from the issues, the true talent of the status quo. They were co-opted by the Kochs long ago and stand for nothing but greed now and everyone knows it. Matt is not a child, he's the most articulate, respectful and fair person I have ever met. Your comments are degrading and insulting and you should refrain from judging people in the movement.
Only right-wingers (due to their unique physiology) are capable of defecating automobiles. Even they would be hard pressed to urinate one. "Squeegee" is thus correctly spelled as opposed to "squeege". Carry on.
