re: #641 Obdicut

I’m a ‘lefty’, I guess, and I’m highly sympathetic to their basic message: The financial industry caused the meltdown and is still very dangerously unregulated. But if there are signs from communists and ANSWER as the most visible face of the protest, there’s no way I want anything to do with it. At all.

I’m pissed at wall street too but I just can’t muster any sympathy for the protests. I was opposed to the Iraq war too but I had nothing in common with the rest of the folks opposed to it. If you think about it the Tea Party is the same thing. Their cause (“fiscal responsibility”) is not totally unjustified but ideology is complete bullshit.
