Had Rush on for 15 minutes as I traveled to grab lunch. Here's what he had to say about Occupy Wallstreet protesters, and I am not really paraphrasing much here:
1. They do not really want to work.
2. They want the government to take care of them.
3. They represent the Democratic base.
4. They want their $40,000 in school loans to be forgiven
5. They want to deflect blame from Obama's failed policies to Wall Street.
6. They have been educated at liberal universities where they have been brainwashed into thinking all of the above.
7. They are squandering their huge potential by spending time protesting instead of seeking work.
8. They are costing the taxpayers millions.
Glenn Beck (yesterday's lunch) would like to add:
9. They oppose the Constitution and our representative republic.
10. They are oppressing the rich, per the definition of "oppression" given by Frederick Douglass. (You know, the ex-slave Frederick Douglass. I can't find the quote--it was not the famous oppression quote vis a vis tyrants--but not for lack of trying. I suspect Beck was too busy counting his gold to read the context anyway.)
(Dakota will be along shortly to add:
11. They are messy.)
