re: #6 Decatur Deb

TPM or a similar blog was complaining this AM that only one national politician (Bernie Sanders, bless his heart) has come out in support of the demonstrations. How the hell could the President or Sen. Reid give a blanket endorsement of an action that embraces the worst of their nutcase subgroups? And yes, I would like a touch of pillage and torch for the responsible firms.

Certainly Obama will never support them aside from platitudes about the right to free speech. I think it’s best that the Wall Street protesters stick to their message against capitalism and arresting bankers. Any sensible ideas they embrace will be tainted by association.
