I don't know where Steve Doocey's kid was yesterday, but he was outdoors interviewing protesters wearing purple SEIU shirts, holding signs, so I presumed it was an OWS dealio somewhere.
I heard a few minutes of a Hannity-replay radio show yesterday during which he was talking to "Grim", 37 year-old, unemployed mother of an 8-year old daughter, who was espousing cutting the military in order for "education to be funded". What she wants is to not have to pay the 80K in loans she owes -- no one should. Bragged to Hannity that she was "an Ivy-League-r"; turns out she's sort of attending Columbia now, when she isn't "working for social justice". (So, what was 80K in school loans for?)
The folks Denninger saw in Pensacola looked as though they have some things in common with TEA Party folks, but from I've seen, and heard, including the virulent anti-Semitism, coming out of other OWS areas, they are the exception. A third of the NYC contingent are anarchists, a third want "more checks and balances" = more government, the others don't know what the hell they want except students loans should be illegal.
It seems Karl is annoyed with conservatives because he believes we don't know what the OWS-ers know; that some of the big banks, some of the big investment firms, and some of the big corporations, including and with the connivance of government, have run a giant rip-off scam on the country.
Well, we do. What we also know is without the government's coercion, approval and connivance, GE would not be making a fortune in selling us CFL bulbs made in China, NINJA loans would not have been made, sliced/diced/and sold as securities and the TARP money supposedly paid back by GM was lent to it by AIG by virtue of a chunk of bailout/stimulus money. We should not forget to mention Big Education, although there doesn't seem to be OWS cognizance of that little factoid; it's the loans that are pissing them off
