In these posts, Michael Allen displays Pat Robertson's opinion on Occupy Wall Street. Robertson says that Christians should not become a pat of the 'rebellion' because it is simply a group of angry protesters. However, Allen points out the flaws in his logic, citing Jesus's show of anger, Robertson's proof less claim that Obama was 'inciting people to revolt,' and Robertson's hypocritical support of Tea Party protesters in the past. Thus these posts display two opinions- that of ardent disapproval of Occupy Wall Street, and another whose position on Occupy Wall Street is unclear, yet most likely approves of Occupy Wall Street.

On the Occupy Wall Street Crowd...
http://www.wtol.com/story/15743982/wtol-editorial-occupy-wall-street
In this editorial, Chirdon calls the Occupy Wall Street movement nothing but a crowd of nobodies making a fuss over some small problems. In fact, he goes as far as to call the lot of them crazy. Chirdon obviously feels that the claims and demands of the men and women of Occupy Wall Street are senseless and have no support.

United We Stand Divided We Fall
In this picture of a wall street protester outside City Hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the burst of color that is the US flag, a symbol of nationalism and unity, contrasting with the message that the lone figure sends of disunity, especially as you can see the people busily walking in the background. There is a sense that the lone figure is very far separated from those people, no matter the small amount of feet between them. Additionally, the fact that the figure is 'faceless' makes it so that the figure could represent anyone, or anything, and thus draws sympathy from the viewer. Overall, the picture serves to make the viewer identify with the lone figure, rather than the distant, unfriendly figures in the background.

Occupy Wall Street
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/opinion/sunday/protesters-against-wall-street.html?_r=1&ref=editorials
This editorialist is of the opinion that the solution to all of the economic problems is clear, yet nothing is being done simply because "no one in Washington has been listening." Additionally, he/she sides with protesters as he/she criticizes the financial sector for profiting off of people's bad luck. Then he/she suggests that instead of protecting banks, the government should be helping those really in need by creating jobs and fostering full-time employment. Thus the editorial attacks the government for twiddling their thumbs while their country needs them most, and also those who profit from the bad economy.
