re: #144 Obdicut

It’s not MBF. One of the things that the people in Zucotti park are protesting is the incredibly broken state of the media and political discourse in this country. We can do them respect for their stance by reporting accurately.

That doesn’t mean calling random people Marxists is okay, but it does mean showing that there are attempts from some people to anoint everything coming out of these protests as awesome.

If Killgore’s source is accurate, and I’m sure it is, then those guys were dumbasses and the lefty site shouldn’t have stretched things like they did. Not comparable to intentionally lying about an image to smear an entire movement.
