Signs from OccupyNH (Occupy Wall Street) rally in Manchester

I think back to the signs at the TEA Party events and most were funny, a play on words, and with a point against the growth of government and the socialization of risk taken (instead of letting folks and corporations fail for bad decisions made). 

Somehow,I believe this sign sets the tone for this movement built on class envy and growing the size of government:

Now, every movement has its nutcases, and this one will be no different, and I laugh that the Obama/Hitler signs by the Lynden LaRouche folks are now showing up at OWS sites and becoming THEIR problem as they did for the TEA Party events.  But this "Eat the Rich" meme (and the associated meme being "kill them first") is being seen all over the country (and the world).  Make no mistake, the "rich" are being targeted and scapegoated for being successful; envy is a powerful emotion.

Here are some others, as well as a quick video of some of the other signs:

 

 

Of course there were a couple of union signs there but given that the SEA (the State union that is the local chapter for the SEIU, email after the jump) promoted the event:

And the video of more also after the jump
