Okay, yah, Don; thanks for straightening that out.  ::saywhat::

I can, seriously, see me striding up the church aisle, bellowing "heretic! blasphemy!" and I am by no means a regular church-goer.

So I started this thread with a story about how OWS is imploding and the MSM is trying desperately to stop the hemorrhaging in popularity. So now I have this new story that seems to completely contradict the original post; claiming that the democrat party is still embracing the Occupy Movement.

I figured it might just as well go in here so we can chronicle both aspects in one thread.

But the bottom line here is that national Dems are not flinching from defending the protests, and are clearly aligning themselves with its overall critique and its goals, despite conventional wisdom holding that doing this risks immediate political self-immolation.

Interesting - even if it's the wapo. Could it be that the dhimmicrats are transcending stereotype and becoming both the evil and the stupid party?

Sorry Soup - they've always been evil AND stupid I'm afraid...evil, stupid and suicidal maybe? Because embracing these Occupy clowns is a certain recipe for whole-party implosion.
