Mayor Michael Nutter was reacting cautiously on Wednesday to word that national organizers of “Occupy Wall Street” and similar protests across the country plan to gather here in Philadelphia next summer.Nutter talks a good talk, but I'll bet he's not too happy about having a collection of the nation's unwashed roaming his city for several months. Philadelphia is not exactly a paradise on a good day.
The plans are found in a document posted online by an “Occupy Wall Street” working group, titled “The 99 Percent Declaration.” The document proposes a National General Assembly to be held in Philadelphia starting on July 4th, 2012 and running through next October.
The proposal says the Assembly would operate similarly to the original “Committees of Correspondence” — the Founding Fathers who met in Philadelphia prior to what the group refers to as “the first American Revolution.”
It was not immediately clear if such a gathering will actually take place, but city officials are aware of the proposal and Mayor Nutter says he wants to talk about it with the organizers.
“I understand national Occupy would want to be in Philadelphia — this is birthplace of freedom, liberty, and democracy for the United States of America — so I look forward to a conversation,” Nutter tells KYW Newsradio. “We need to better understand what it is they want to do, where and what it’s all about. But I welcome the discussion.”

Some things Rush Limbaugh has said about OWS:
"To those of you still trying to understand what all's going on, it's always useful to return to Alinsky, always useful. For example, folks, these Occupy Wall Street protests, wherever they are taking place, this is boot camp. This is boot camp for the bigger and badder protests that are in the works. Boot camp training, rehearsal time. To those of you still trying to understand what all's going on, it's always useful to return to Alinsky, always useful.

"This is boot camp for what's coming later. Mark my words. This is just a trial run, folks, for what the regime has planned as we get closer to the 2012 election. I'm convinced of that. I'm convinced that they want to re-create the circumstances of the Democrat convention in Chicago 1968. Although not about them; they want it about banks, big money people, whoever they can turn the wrath at." 07OCT2011
"There's rioting in the streets now, and there's gonna be more rioting in the streets because that's part of the program here, and next up they're gonna be race riots, I guarantee you, and the race riots are part of the plan that this regime has. That's next. You'll note that everybody's talking about how white Organize Wall Street is. Well, didn't take long for 'em to do the Martin Luther King thing yesterday. You just watch and wait 'til these two things get melded, which they will." 17OCT2011
A wise General chooses the battlefield. Many of the things the left would be looking for can be found in Philadelphia; urban environment, poverty, unemployment, pre-existing racial tension. Remember the group called MOVE? That's the kind of mentality the left needs to spread.
