Oh good Lord. Now Occupy protesters are being compared to . . .
Edited on Thu Nov-10-11 05:50 PM by Brigid
The anarchists and other assorted hooligans of 1920. And this columnist also seems to think they're being manipulated by some sinister anti-American forces out there somewhere.

Seems he's just another establishment type who just doesn't get the Occupy movement. :banghead:

4. Same playbook everywhere
Gaddafi said the Libyans were imperialist tools whose Nescafe had been spiked by Al Qaeda. In Syria and Bahrain, they're also outside agitators and hooligans and terrorists, probably paid by Mossad.

People on here believe it too, at least when it came to the Libyans.

5. Gaddafi did not say Libyans were imperialist tools.
He said the rebels were. There is a difference. And we don't know that he wasn't right yet.

6. The funny thing is most of the people I met while at OccupyHouston
were pretty much mom and pop types. One woman brought her knitting. Yes...anarchy abounds in downtown Houston. :D
