On Friday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) dismissed the Occupy Wall Street protests and the growing 99 Percent Movement as a “mob” dividing “Americans against Americans.” Then yesterday on ABC, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pointed out Cantor’s glaring double standard: When the Tea Party — a similarly grassroots movement claiming the mantle of populism — arose, he happily endorsed it.
In the same vein, Chris Wallace declared on yesterday’s Fox News Sunday that the 99 Percent Movement was getting more coverage “than it deserves.” Of course, Wallace is one of the star hosts of a network that essentially served as the Tea Party movement’s unofficial PR wing, posting dates and times for rallies on its website and promoting Tea Party events during their regular programming.
This double standard of mocking and vilifying the 99 Percent Movement as misguided, irrelevant, or even dangerous, while embracing the Tea Party as a fresh populist cure for the nation’s ills, has been employed universally by the conservative echo changer, with Fox News at its locus. ThinkProgress has the video evidence.
"My mission is to genuinely help others, without a selfish intent, by complying with values that improve lives, no matter how insignificant it may seem."

It seems to me like 99% of you want to sit your ass on a sidewalk waiting for a handout. Remember it was you who accepted the huge bank loans whith which you couldn't afford. Remember, when you point a finger, there are 3 more pointing back at you.
ReplyDeleteThe banks have to stop flooding the market with risk. It's private profits at the public's expense. They will try to use THEIR crisis to get rid of our hard earned democratic gains??? Let's take them down!!!
ReplyDeleteRealist, did you get that from fox I mean fixed news? The people who are the 99% and OWS are not asking for a hand out!We are fighting for everything the re-puk-lie-cans and the teabagger are trying to destroy and that would be America. their are 99 fingers pointing at 1 now.
