Repost because it was in the wrong forum: The GOP meme of the day is that Democrats are trying

to 'divide' people. What a projection from a group that has sliced and diced the electorate with wedge issues for 30 years. I hope Democrats have a good comeback to that. Just when people are begining to feel connected to their realities again, because of OWS and the 99%, just when they are thinking about their economic self interest again, the GOP attacks that feeling with the idea that the opposite is true. As per ususal with the GOP, up is down, black is white, coming together under the 99% is dividing the country.

The 99% coming together would represent remarkable unity and that scares the shit out of them. So they gotta stop it.

The polls on Obama's speech are the best response to these Republican absurdities.
