Oh those poor “not poors”

By: Attaturk Tuesday October 11, 2011 1:30 am

The response to Occupy Wall Street from the beneficiaries of a generation of one-sided class warfare are responding with a virtual dropping of monocles: “Occupy Wall Street Protests Rankle the Rich.”

Occupy Wall Street’s Misconconceptions According to Obama’s Job Czar

By: freeman Monday October 10, 2011 7:15 pm

In a 60 Minutes interview on Sunday, Obama’s chosen go-to guy on job creation, General Electric’s chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt, our Jobs Czar, had this to say about the misconceptions of those protesting Wall Street in over 800 cities across the nation by the tens of thousands:

“I want you to root for me. Look, every one in Germany roots for Siemens, everyone in Japan roots for Toshiba, everyone in China roots for China South Rail, I want you to say, win GE. I think this notion that it’s the population of the US against big companies is just wrong.”

Anatomy of a Deception: How a Conservative Magazine Attempted to Discredit the Occupy Movement

By: Charlie Grapski Monday October 10, 2011 6:30 pm

It is now time for those who reported the initial perceptions of the D.C. protests to go back to this story and re-report it in light of the evidence. They should be asking tough questions and seeking to gather even more of the evidence. What do the authorities have to say about this and have they been informed? Does the Museum intend to press charges? How do the publishers and chief editors of The American Spectator explain his behavior, their publication, and their attempts to later hide the truth?

FDL Movie Night: “Accidental Icon, The Real Gidget Story”

By: Lisa Derrick Monday October 10, 2011 5:00 pm

I recall how stunned I was as a teenager when I bought a used paperback copy of Fredrick Kohner’s novel Gidget with a photo of Sandra Dee on the cover. Though I had grown up with Gidget–my stepfather wrote the Gidget movies’ theme songs and incidental music, I had watched the TV show reruns as a little girl, we lived just minutes from the beach, and friends of mine surfed–I didn’t know that Gidget was (loosely) based on the adventures of the author’s daughter in the summer of 1956.

Live Blog of #OWS: The Dissenter Is in Liberty Park

By: Kevin Gosztola Monday October 10, 2011 2:50 pm

The Dissenter’s Kevin Gosztola is now at Liberty Park, Occupy Wall Street. What’s fascinating is not just the sleeping bags and mattresses strewn about Liberty Park and the fact that there are very few places for someone to sit down. That is all striking but more striking is the presence of media, everywhere.
