re: #201 Obdicut

Just because they were out there, doesn’t mean they deserve the credit, though. It’s really, really hard to prove a link like that. Why was it OWS, and not the effect of the protests in Wisconsin, or the result of the GOP becoming more and more and more obvious at only wanting to preserve tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

The fact that we are using OWS’s rhetoric kind of proves the point. You can Spanish Civil war me. I’ll have to Tea Party you.

I have Tea Party friends. The last thing they want to do is give due credit to Obama for hunting down and killing OBL. It was the SEALs; it was started by Bush. It’s really, really hard to prove a link like that.

Really, OWS for all its imperfections (and brilliance) deserves due credit for pushing this into the national conscience.
