Wall Street Occupiers Misdirect Anger: Christine Todd Whitman
“You reap what you sow” used to be a widely understood principle. Today, we seem to have lost that understanding as we watch the occupation of Wall Street and cities across the country.
For three years, we have been hearing how big business is bad and how the rich are avoiding their fair share of taxes. President Barack Obama has been leading that charge, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that we are now seeing the spread of the class warfare he has helped to kindle.
Let me say from the outset that I support the right of people to peacefully assemble to make their voices heard. That right has made America great, and as we mark more than a month of occupying Wall Street, it continues to feed the public discourse today. I can also understand the frustration and anger that many have felt, and why it has led to the demonstrations. That said, the notions that wealth is our nation’s plague or that Wall Street single-handedly caused the financial crisis are overly simplistic and counterproductive in the long run.
The juxtaposition of early October is certainly ironic: While millions mourned the death of Apple Inc. co-founder and billionaire Steve Jobs, thousands took to the streets in an expression of protest against similar wealth.
A quick review of the richest 25 Americans, according to Forbes magazine, reveals a reality that many protesters may be forgetting: Only four of those 25 are investors — Warren Buffett, George Soros, John Paulson and Carl Icahn. The rest, such as Jobs and most of the super-wealthy, created a product or service that the world wanted so much that we all bought it. […]
Are there ways of shielding earnings and are those practices used by those with the most income to shield? Of course. But the wealthiest 1 percent still pays 37 percent of the federal income taxes in this country, according to the National Taxpayers Union, a fact that needs to be recognized by the protesters.
We should be careful about taxing those people out of the country, since they will take their businesses — and jobs — with them. Massive redistribution of wealth in the form of taxes tends to discourages people from working — the exact opposite of what we should be trying to achieve. If we want to discourage people from spending on themselves, or encourage them to be charitable, let’s work toward tax policies that create those incentives. But penalizing work isn’t the answer.
As for Wall Street’s hand in the financial crisis, there’s no doubt that the banking industry was overleveraged, and that contributed heavily to the most recent recession. But as I have said before, prior to the decline, individuals and families bought homes (as they were encouraged to do, partly by the government via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and goods on credit they couldn’t afford to repay. And governments, both local and national, were deficit-spending with impunity. If the 1 percent were overleveraged, the 99 percent were spending money they didn’t have. We share the guilt across the economic spectrum.
Although the ideas espoused by the protesters are simplistic, those who have taken to the streets have the possibility of making lasting change. One gift the demonstrators have is a tool denied to many across the Arab world, where we have seen citizen uprisings this year: the ability to freely elect their representatives. I wonder how many of those camping out used that incredible power in the last election cycle.
Today’s demonstrators are understandably angry, scared and frustrated, but they are focusing on the wrong place. Instead of marching on the homes of the wealthy, they would effect real change by going to the polls every time they can.

sample:
Poll: Majority of Likely Voters Say They Were Sexually Harassed by Cain
Accusers March on Washington
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – There was a new complication in the race for the White House today as a just-released poll revealed that a majority of likely voters say they were sexually harassed by candidate Herman Cain.
According to the poll conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, 51% of voters “strongly agreed” with the statement “I have been sexually harassed by Herman Cain” while an additional 24% agreed that “Herman Cain is sexually harassing me right now.”
News of the poll hit just as Herman Cain accusers gathered for a march on Washington in numbers estimated at 999,999.
Asked about the size of the Washington gathering, Mr. Cain said he did not remember harassing so many women, but added, “I’ve never been very good with numbers.”
Even as the controversy swirled about Mr. Cain, he received a stirring vote of confidence from a prominent world leader.
“A man’s sex life should not affect his right to hold power,” said Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi.

The campers will be discussing at their morning meeting how to keep out the destructive anarchist element.
“It’s not us, it’s a bunch of guys who wear black masks,” said Michael Porter, 24, who works full-time selling DirectTV and has been camping at the Occupy Oakland site. “It’s messing with our movement. They leech off our numbers — they only show up when there’s a rally.”

Graffiti is everywhere around 14th and Broadway. It appears there was a struggle between people who were bent on destruction and those trying to keep the peace.There were messages like “kill cops” and “not until the last capitalist is hung with the entrails of the last bureaucrat.” Next to that, somebody had graffitied a heart with the words “Nonviolence works better.”
The window at Tully’s was smashed in and boarded up, and a sign was put up with yet another heart on it that said “Action not done by the people”.

Anne Coulter, speaking on Red Eye:
“I am not a fan of racism when there is actual racism. When they say opposition to Obamacare is because Obama is black, yes, that is B.S. When they go after Clarence Thomas because they want to keep a pro-life justice off the Supreme Court, who happens to be black … their only defense of this rotten president is, ‘Oh, Republicans are racist,’ and then bring the nonsense charges. The same thing that Democrats in the South accused blacks of for a hundred years: ‘Oh, the over-sexual black man’ and then they turned around a hundred years later and do the same thing. This is a high-tech lynching.”
I don’t think she was joking, even if Red Eye is supposed to be a comedy show.

Uh, Buck.
It wasn’t on the “comedy show” Red Eye. It was on Sean Hannity’s “news show.”
[Video]
I actually consider Hannity comedy…especially the awkward 60 seconds when he pretends to be interested in what is coming up on Greta’s show.

Nice try, though.
Like I said, I wasn’t sure if he was referring to the red eye segment.
Interesting fact is that she had to leave the Red Eye show in the middle of taping to do the Sean Hannity show. So she had just done the same thing on tape for Red Eye moments before.
However even in the clip she doesn’t say that Obama isn’t black.
That isn’t her point.

Wall Street Occupiers Misdirect Anger: Christine Todd Whitman
As for Wall Street’s hand in the financial crisis, there’s no doubt that the banking industry was overleveraged, and that contributed heavily to the most recent recession. But as I have said before, prior to the decline, individuals and families bought homes (as they were encouraged to do, partly by the government via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and goods on credit they couldn’t afford to repay. And governments, both local and national, were deficit-spending with impunity. If the 1 percent were overleveraged, the 99 percent were spending money they didn’t have. We share the guilt across the economic spectrum.

Yeah. You have a basic problem in your approach to OWS. You say that you want them to be less radical, but you attempt to portray them as so radical that anyone supporting them is enabling radicals. You constantly equate them with the Tea Party, even though the glaring difference— the OWS people are protesting something that’s real, an actual huge problem that’s an enormous challenge to our society, whereas the Tea Party people were protesting fictions or just Obama himself. You celebrate— literally— violence being inflicted on protesters while claiming that they’re Marxist trust-funders without a shred of evidence, and then, of course, turn out to be wrong about that. If you held yourself to the same standard you’re holding the Occupy people to, I’d have a hell of a lot more respect for your criticisms.
As it stands, I think I’m just going to be ignoring your hourly OWS postings. You’ve made your case, you have valid criticisms, but you’re adding absolutely nothing new to the equation, and I think you’re doing exactly what you criticze Occupy for and spoiling your own valid message with extremist bullshit.

Republicans remain in serious denial.
Among Republican voters nationwide, 76% were able to correctly identify Cain as the candidate who was accused of sexual harassment in the 1990s. Just 13% of GOP Primary voters think it’s Very Likely that the charges against Cain are serious and true. Another 25% think it’s Somewhat Likely. Forty-eight percent (48%) consider it unlikely, but that includes only 13% who say that it is Not at All Likely.
Just 13% believe the charges are true, even though Cain himself has acknowledged that the charges are true.

re: #151 engineer dog
because you immediately labelled the demonstrations as “extremism”
the way you seem to be using the term “extremist”, any american exercising their constitutional right “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”, qualifies as an extremist
I labeled them extremists after looking into the original Marxist and anarchist organizers. The continued presence of anarchists and Marxists leads me to believe that the movement is too extreme for me and not something I’m interested in supporting. The continued violence and destruction is not terribly surprising to me.

for the record, it is clear that the protesters are strenuously rejecting any violence, which has unfortunately but predictably made its way into the demonstrations, by forceably attempting to restrain any violent actions, and posting signs disowning violence when it occurs
to think that all OWS protests could possibly identify and publicly disown and eject anybody who could be labelled an “anarchist” or a “marxist” from a large spontaneous demonstration strains credulity

By the way, I just tried to find any evidence that Coulter used “the same joke” (as Buck put it) on the Red Eye show — nothing on YouTube, nothing on Coulter’s site, Googled it and got nothing.
Maybe I missed something, but the only reference I can find, anywhere, to Coulter making this “joke” is to her appearance on the Sean Hannity show.
Just sayin’.
[Link: www.mediaite.com…]
What’s interesting is that, just a few hours before her Hannity appearance, she espoused the same views elsewhere in the Fox News studios and was called out for them. While Red Eye airs hours after Hannity, it tapes earlier so Levy had already given Coulter a small taste of the reaction that much of America was giving her last night.

re: #174 Killgore Trout
Anon and adbusters. Look it up.
I don’t remember whether you posted this article, or a different one from the same website, but this downplays Adbuster’s role:
[…]
What changed from last November to this July that caused Occupy Wall Street to catch on where Carnivaleque Rebellion flopped? Two things. One was the reality of the Arab Spring, which has shown the world an example of people power not seen in ages. But still more importantly, in my mind, is the fact that Adbusters’s call to action intersected with other forces. Occupy Wall Street was, in fact, preceded by “Bloombergville,” a similar camp out of activists, mainly young people, who decided to sleep in lower Manhattan in July to protest the escalating budget cuts in New York. With limited exceptions, the media didn’t even bother to show up to be snide about Bloombergville — but New Yorkers Against the Budget Cuts, which helped organize Bloombergville, was early to take up the Occupy Wall Street initiative and give it some foot soldiers.
This convergence is part of the narrative now, recounted by some of the protesters themselves in a wonderful publication put together by members of the encampment: the Occupied Wall Street Journal. For myself, the important thing about retracing this history is to cut against some of the notions that the movement emerged from nowhere, spontaneously. In contrast to the Carnivalesque Rebellion, Occupy Wall Street was able to draw on the initiative and example of organizations that went before. Political organization is important now, and will be going forward.

The headline says they “helped spark” OWS. Maybe you’re giving them too much credit.

Obdicut,
the organizers I talked to and their own OLA website clearly admits the full involvement of Anonymous in their IT and they openly (so to speak) run the OLA chat room.
So to sum up - you’ve talked to the organizers for one city - Los Angeles and feel comfortable with including the dozens of other cities in your critique. Geeez - I’m not even a huge supporter of OWS and think the right is missing the mark on their message by a mile.

So the “joke” is that one person says something completely batshit crazy, then the other proceeds to “argue” with them about it.

Sergey — Pamela Geller responded to your 270 million victims post, without mentioning you or linking, of course.
The fact that both of them failed to challenge my arguments speaks volumes. Warner’s position’s is “give your number”. Nuh-uh. I exposed your meme, back to the blackboard. And not only I exposed the meme, I’ve shown that there was either lying or grossest incompetence involved (or likely both) in cooking that number. There is no response to that either.

So, if the number is not 270 million, then what is a better number? Use critical thought to answer this problem, and don’t tell us that the number is zero. Give us an improvement, not a denial. We have had denial for 1400 years.
I do believe you made no conclusion to any accurate number let alone zero. The argument was only that 270 million is excessive.

Milani, a camper who did not want to give a last name, spoke against apologizing to businesses. She said it wasn’t just outsiders committing vandalism.

Exactly. That wasn’t a rebuttal of any of the salient points that were raised in the post or comments. And what she couldn’t refute, she simply ignored.
No one ever claimed the figure was zero.
My own post showed that her claims on the slave trade were perhaps 10-15% of the figure she claimed (based on more sound research at that). She was attributing 120 million to the Islamic slave trade, but that figure was likely 12-15 million.
Could other parts of Islamic terror - jihad be higher? Absolutely.
But nowhere was it stated that the figure was zero. That’s just BS.

re: #335 leftynyc
Just curious, did it worry you when some white supremicists were trying to recruit during some tea party rallies? Did you feel it fair to tag the entire tea party movement with what was happening in one place? I ask because it appears you worry easily.
When I went to a TP rally with my camera in the very early days of the TP Express Bus Tour I saw none of that. Hmm, in fact I memory holed those images off my blog so as to not support the TP. This was well before we had Pages here. The mean spirited protesters were the counter protesters at that moment and place. Try to understand I’m one that goes to see for myself when possible.
But yes, as Oathkeepers and white separatists/supremacists became more than a fringe, I gave up on the TP. BTW, since you know me so well (///) when I say ‘worry’ I’m not shaking in a corner. I’m using a reasonable term to describe my negative feeling about a visibly negative situation or potential. Which unlike the trembling in a corner thing happens regularly as I evaluate the negatives of a circumstance. I do have a particular dislike of black hat hackers. So yeah the anonymous affiliation with Occupy is perilous for Occupy IMO.

By whom? I think Cain is rather obviously a black man, being that he’s black and all.

FNC’s latest smear.
But, if it’s true? Is it a smear?
I’m not sure I even get what is supposed to be scandalous or even newsworthy in that report, even if you give Fox the benefit of the doubt and take it all at face value.
The charges seem to include:
-Some former employees of ACORN now work at another community organizing outfit. (Uh, so what? Ignoring that all the investigations into ACORN basically cleared it of O’Keefe’s charges, Fox isn’t even claiming that these are any of the folks who were featured in O’Keefe’s videos. I suppose Fox fans are supposed to be outraged that some random former ACORN community organizers were ever allowed employment again?)
-This new community organizing outfit, NYCC, has a bunch of stationary and office supplies that were formally owned by ACORN. (Again, so what? I guess not only former ACORN employees are off-limits but purchasing any of their stationary and supplies is also verboten?)
-NYCC’s staff are being asked to organize and canvass at the OWS protests. (This would be an unusual thing for a local community organizing outfit to do because…?)
-NYCC is extremely paranoid & suspicious of Fox News & RW provocateurs smearing them & causing them trouble. (Gee, I can’t imagine why? :rolleyes:)
Of course what is going on here has nothing to do with actually alleging anything criminal or even disreputable — it’s all about the fact the Fox knows it has groomed a particularly useful (and distasteful) RW euphemism in their ACORN boogeyman. Wasn’t it some recent NY special election where Tea Partiers were waving around signs supporting the GOP candidate all the while being quoted, suspiciously referring to a black staffer working nearby, “‘Careful, he looks like an ACORN.”

I always appreciate consistency. That said, I didn’t like the tea party for reasons that had nothing to do with some fringe elements were up to.
I’ve been down to the OWS here in NYC (not a special trip, was meeting a friend who lives in Battery Park City) and all I saw was a peaceful group of people with some real and well thought out arguments. No violence, no sex, no drugs (the drummers got on my nerves a bit). Nothing like what happened in Oakland. If I had any complaint about them at all it was their being naive - they truly don’t understand that the Citizens United decision is a monstrosity that allows corporations all the rights of people with none of the responsibilities.

Skeptical:
Showing doubt
i’m seriously annoyed precisely because KT is not showing doubt - he is certain that OWS is an “extremist” movement started by “anarchists and marxists”. he then takes his assertions as proven fact, and bases other statements on them. that alone is enough to get my back up anytime
but he won’t leave it at that. i’ve been trying to ignore him and not get into fights, which i think people here really don’t want, but he continues to intrude this topic into thread after thread. taking all of these comments of his at face value, his position seems to be that he has “determined” that OWS is an “extremist” movement and he feels called upon to threadjack every day to remind us of his Very Important Opinion

The undercurrent is that piling on sometimes happens at LGF. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes not so good, and anything in-between. In this case it’s a mixture. Some people genuinely identify with OWS and ding criticism. Other people got burned on KT’s initial rather unhinged attitude to OWS (which mellowed out a bit, at least publicly; at first it was “I warned you fucking moonbats”, defense of macing, very illustrative misinterpretation of some videos against OWS) and ding kind of reflexively.

For fuck’s sake.
You asked the question: “Who is saying he’s not really black?” You asked it very clearly in your #350.
I answered that calling the man an Oreo was a certain practice that did exactly that. That YOU think it is stupid was not the subject. That it happens, and is happening right now to Cain is the point.
“Who is saying he’s not really black?” People who call him an Oreo, or Uncle tom, OR anyone who expresses that he should not be a Republican as that is not fitting for his race.
All I heard from so many here was that the tea party was racist and hated Obama simply because he is a Black man. Now the same people are telling the pollsters that they would vote for a Black man for President.
