Lately Mitt Romney, Man of the People® has been touring the country, connecting with the Common Man. He’s connected with Northern auto workers, with the black folk, with NASCAR fans, with hillbillies, and just yesterday, he made important inroads with America’s football fans.Lately Mitt Romney, Man of the People® has been touring the country, connecting... more

Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting and apparent suicide at two different Occupy Wall Street camps. The fatal shooting occurred just beyond the boundaries of the Occupy Oakland encampment and initial reports are that the shooting is unrelated to the protests. Police in Vermont say a 35-year-old veteran died after shooting himself in the head near the Burlington Occupation site.

In the final analysis, the orcs and goblins seem to me to be in no way comparable to the 1%. On the contrary. It’s young Lord Rust who’s the 1% and the goblins are the 99% he’s selling into slavery.
Pratchett does, indeed, redeem the possibility inherent in every race and affords a space for redemption no matter what your station in life. On this point Gavin and I couldn’t agree more. Pratchett distinguishes between how we’re born and what we choose to do, and perhaps here is the nut of what I think is wrong with the argument Gavin frames out in his post. The 1% that Occupy Wall Street is protesting against is not a downtrodden minority and they are not the focus of prejudice in the way that Pratchett’s orcs and goblins are. The rage against them is rooted in law and evidence and the call is not for obliteration of a class but for a just and legal program of redress.
As presently constructed, the “orcs = the 1%” argument is like conflating armed robbers with African-Americans. Sure, both groups have their haters, but there’s no equivalency beyond that.In the final analysis, the orcs and goblins seem to me to be in no way comparable to... more

'It’s not bad enough that right-wing media have attempted to portray the Occupy Movement as dirty hippies, lazy freeloaders, ignorant dupes, leftist traitors, godless heathens, diabolical Marxists, violent revolutionaries, and White House plants, Breitbart is adding Al-Qaeda terrorists to this list. If it wasn’t so dangerously provocative it would be moderately humorous. But Breitbart’s accusations are irresponsible and his activities may be illegal."

One thing that both the Tea Baggers and the OWS people have in common is that both truly believe in their cause. They also both have received money from groups that are interested in their success. The billionaire Koch Brothers, through their own organization, Americans for Prosperity, are bankrolling the Tea Party movement to use it as their own political arm. Tea Baggers want less government and less government regulation, which suits corporations just fine.

His name is Greg Brophy, state senator from Colorado’s District 1, who, I doubt, would be complaining if these protesters were from the Tea Party. Republicans, you see, have a problem with the First Amendment: they think it only applies to themselves…
