Not really an answer, now if you wanted a response, one might posit that late decaying oligarchies, like Czarist Russia, and

miggs, Alana is a very sweet young lady. Not yet much more.
OWS isn’t a nest of anti-Semitism.
Or maybe in today’s world the JWF’s qualify as hacks, or pseudo-hacks, or ersatz hacks… Complicated question. Be that as it may, the post reads like it was written straight from the standard “hold ’em responsible for the weirdos” template, but even JWF doesn’t make the additional claim that anti-semitism is the OWS “focus.”
LGF has been doing a nice job, however, of tracking the lengths other rightwing bloggers have gone trying to push this attack: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/39303_Pajamas_Media-_OWS_Twitter_Hashtag_is_a_Neo-Swastika_Power_Symbol , http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/39299_Its_Yom_Kippur._Banks_should_atone._–_The_Truth_Behind_the_Sign ,
Noticed much work in your hunting grounds of Rush Limbaugh’s attempt to turn the mission against the LRA into an attack on valiant Christians by the Kenyan Muslim president? Has Limbaugh apologized? Now that’s something to be embarrassed about.

No, it was assumed from the outset that Koch was running the Tea Party, from the Sorospress like Wiegel to their parrots in the ‘MainStream Media’, who went after the likes of Dale Richardson to represent the movement.
In part I blame Bloomberg, the kind of man, Lenin was thinking of, when he said capitalists will sell them the rope, Guiliani would have taken names, and if need be, cracked skulls, really face the ‘inherent violence in the system’
Guiliani couldn’t crack a walnut. Thank heaven he had the wisdom to put his hired goon Kerik in charge.
There are no demands that can be legitimately answered to, that in part is the fault of the candidate who they voted for in large part, so it’s basically kabuki threatre.To answer the earlier point, Mayer’s was basically a mimeograph of Think Progress’s attack on the Koch’s, funded by the man who has singlehandedly shattered economies and millions of lives
from Islington to Irabaya
If they’re making no demands, why not accede to them instead of sending in Guiliani to use his two heads of iron?
It’s the repression inherent in the cistern is why!
Abolishing all debts, ending the fossil based economy, teaching unicorns to fly, yes they could actually prosecute the likes of Countrywide, Goldman, but let’s get real they don’t get touched, they are the administration’s bread and butter, besides the Green Energy scam keeps Zucotti Park fully stocked.
[…] Miguel, el Zombie del Derecho, a dependable exponent of the far right line, has been fuming over… all the same stuff he’s always fuming about: Green jobs boondoggles, George Soros, bank bailouts (as a liberal-fiscal error, not a sign of […]
