I was flipping through the other day and saw "The Ed Show" was broadcasting live from one of the OWS locations in NY. I left it on for a bit and every time he'd try and spin it as a Democrat thing or praising Obama, there'd be more than one "booooo" from the crowd behind him.
Although it is probably weighted a good bit toward the left, let there be no question there is representation from both sides that are dissatisfied with the goings on on Wall Street. And rightly so.
A couple of days later I hear people on the right like Cantor.... actually almost all of them blasting the OWS movement. It seemed borderline idiocy for them to make this a Dem vs. Rep sort of thing when there are elements of both sides taking part. If they make this political, they will not win. Very shortsighted strategy.
