Occupy Wall Street
OWS Following the Woodstock to Altamont Trajectory
Numerous observers have pointed out how the media and liberals (sorry for the redundancy) lavished sympathy on Occupy Wall Street until it became untenable to continue, after which they began to airbrush their previous encomia. They seem to forget that what begins as Woodstock somehow always ends up as Altamont. It was inevitable that the "spirit of Woodstock" would make an appearance as the cycle of OWS unfolded.
The Occupiers Get On TV
Hundreds of Occupiers were arrested, some when they tried to block the Brooklyn Bridge: Lots of working New Yorkers pushed back against the arrogant freeloaders who tried to keep them from making a living. It is hard for me to articulate how contemptuous I am of the Occupiers. The idea that Americans are mostly bums, criminals and freeloaders is deeply offensive. But the truth is worse than that: the Occupiers are greedy bums, criminals and freeloaders.
