re: #47 publicityStunted

There’s an important difference, though - since the 1980s, there hasn’t been any kind of “Marxist” equivalent in the US to Tim McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, the militia movements, Ruby Ridge, abortion clinic bombings, etc. The worst instances of domestic, home-grown terrorism have been perpetrated by right-wing extremists.

Well, sure, but the principle in your comment is a general one, right? So if the OWS attracts non-murderous loons does it let it off the hook?
