re: #210 Obdicut

No, it doesn’t. Why would using ‘their’ rhetoric (the 99%/1% wasn’t original to OWS, by the way) prove anything? Gore was using that line long ago.

That’s also not a very good argument. The present popular usage of 99% stems from OWS. Ask the next person walking down the street.

That’s an entirely different situation. I’m talking about how mass changes in social attitude come about, not personal responsibility for a military action. That’s a terrible comparison.

Why so? You don’t want to give credit. The Tea Party doesn’t want to give Obama credit. They try to divert into a complex causal analysis. That’s what you’re doing as well.
