Occupy’s Rebuttal to Right-Wing Media Critics: The Tea Party’s Violent ‘DontGo Movement’
by Julie Driscoll •
So, in the face of the Occupy Wall Street protests – which is basically, like the tea party claimed to be, simply fed up with the status quo – one would think that the right-wing media would herald its arrival, just like it did the Tea Party in 2008.

Herman Cain’s Love Potion Number 9-9-9
by Peter Fegan •
Leaving aside the fact that, yes, the tax code desperately needs some kind of reform, a closer look at Cain’s ‘simplistic’ proposal not only reveals a staggering lack of real tax code knowledge, if passed, it would end up being the greatest tax increase for middle and lower income earners since the federal income tax was introduced, while simultaneously ushering in the single greatest tax break for millionaires and corporations.

Occupy Wall Street, Class Warfare, and Russell Simmons
by The Pardu •
I find the recent flaps about class warfare typically convenient. Warfare in this context is nothing more that Right-Wing word-smithing for effect.
Idiot’s Delight
by Peter Fegan •
Below are two ‘fine’ examples of idiocy. So deserving of the spotlight of shame, they could easily share first prize. But, alas, someone had to edge out in front, if only by a nose, which, after reading this, you will have to hold for quite some time.

by Segway Jeremy Ryan •
I look back on all the times, all the marches, all of the wonderful people I met along the way and the only thing that comes to mind is hope. The people of Wisconsin have already shown how it’s done back in February and March, but as I talked with people who were in it for the long haul and others who were bouncing from occupation to occupation, I realized one thing. The rest of the country gets it.

Occupy Wall Street: Don’t Believe Just What You Hear In The Media
by Jay R. Adams •
When you arrive, check your pre-conceived talking points at the curb, but do engage in respectful discourse. Observe and participate in a general assembly. Do not judge by their attire but what they vocalize. There are conservative voices amongst the crowd and they are welcomed as long as mutual respect is shown.
Religion In Politics
by Justin Acuff •
That seems pretty clear-cut to me; pretty transparent. It seems amazingly obvious that there is a clear secularity in American government, and that the separation of church and state should be just as guaranteed as our right to free speech.
The Man To Beat Eric Cantor
by Wendy Gittleson •
Eric Cantor is just one member of Congress, but his influential position puts him smack in the middle of the Democrats’ radar. It’s imperative that Cantor’s challenger be smart, progressive, appealing to the populous and most importantly, electable.
