Even Imus has occasionally caught himself saying "tea baggers" when referring to the Tea Party but corrected the reference.
This morning's left love-in with Imus were Doris Kearns Goodwin and Rolling Stones Matt Taibbi.
I remember 1960s. I've labeled these demonstrators as cheap knockoffs of the 1960s who are being used by the organizers.
Example, the draft resisters burned their draft cards.. when are the demonstrators going the start burning their student loans? Carter excused the draft resisters.. these kids today can easily get an OK from Obama. Let's see some action, people!
The organizers are pretty good repeats of the 1960s marxist-alinsky campus spoiled brats, however.
Interesting aside, Doris Kearns Goodwin all but accused Taibbi (but not directly, they were not on at the same time) of stealing her husbands ideas. It seems that her husband wrote a book 20 years ago describing the Left's unhappiness with the financial matters -- when Imus told her of Taibbi's article expressing similar opinions she wondered if Taibbi had read her husband's book.
I love these idiots protesting against capitalism and carrying signs and symbols glorifying communism.
A lawyer carrying a sign saying her $200K in student loans should be paid off as her “bail out”. What these idiots don’t understand is that under communism the state would tell her what her occupation would be and how much she will earn doing it. So they would pay her way through college but TELL HER what her course of study would be.
Course, they would never understand that aspect of it.
This a.m. in front of where I work, the union drones brought out the inflatable rat because somebody had hired non-union workers. I said to the “protesters”, DO YOU HAVE AN INFLATABLE DOLL THAT SIZE? Same looney idiots with a sense of entitlement. And we pay for it.
Sean Hannity did a phone interview with one of them on his radio show yesterday. 37 year-old woman, with an 8 year-old child...living off unemployment and student loans. Was touting her 3.8 "ish" undergrad GPA from Columbia, as if it were supposed to automatically qualify her for something. She just thought someone should pay for her college education--"just because" they should.
As a lifetime nyc resident I checked Wall Street myself today at 9am.I walked from the Staten Island Ferry up Broadway to Zuccotti Park.No sign of any demonstrators all the way up to Trinity Church and Wall Steet. All I saw were New YORkers busily going to work and tourists.A few blocks north of Wall Street is a tiny non-greenZuccotti Park.In this park were about 150 ‘poor souls’ mostly 20 year olds looking for someone to talk to in the slight drizzle.I walked at my leisure through the tiny park. I haD MY COFFEE AND COULD HAVE SNACKED PEACEFULLY WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS PARK’ There was no threat and only about a normal half dozen police.
I went back down Broadway to Wall Street.I walked unimpeded along the sidewalk. No demonstrators and a few police.The only unusal sign was that the police had the middle of Wall Street roped off.
This Wall Street event is another success of the MEDIA Propaganda.You would thik a few hundred lost souls was larger than a 100,000 pro-life marchers in Washington.The whole area including Zuccotti Park is quite clean.The Media are just trying to cause trouble.
“Last night I started re-reading Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital.” “
I was thinking of doing that too. I read it once probably 20 yrs ago, but I could use a refresher within the context of today’s situation.
She's right - someone SHOULD pay for her education: HER!!!! "Just because" she was the one who ran up the bill!
