CURRENT TV Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - Oct. 24, 2011: Keith speaks with former Editor & Publisher editor Greg Mitchell, currently with The Nation, about the right-wing attempts to smear the Occupy Wall Street movement.

MITCHELL: "It's been hard (for the right-wing) to paint this as a minority-type movement... I think that's really what the right-wing's been afraid of is that there is something to this 99 percent.

- snip -

It's really not only unfair, but morally wrong to paint the whole movement with a couple of wackos you can find."

2. So now the Right Wing
is drumming up fear with this movement. If you can't ignore them, can't laugh at them, then make them seem scary!!!
Sorry jerkwads, nothing is going to make the 99% turn on itself, they are rolling down hill, and you can't freaking stop them!
