Burning The US Flag Is Akin to Displaying the Confederate Flag

[Douglas Carpenter]

111. I 100% support OWS and consider it the most promissing social movement in a at least a generation

I have defended it and will continue to defend it enthusiastically. You cannot find a single post of mine that does not speak of the OWS movement in glowing terms. You cannot find a single post of mine in which I don't vigorously defend the OWS from all attacks and criticism. I certainly don't blame the action of a few idiots or perhaps in this case agent provocateurs - I don't know which. But obviously they are working hard to harm the movement and alienate the movement from working class Americans.. I find it implausible that they don’t know that. It would be a tragedy if a few individuals who don't know working class America and hold working class Americans in such contempt succeed in this agenda of alienating the movement from the people. Perhaps they are just arrogant and don't understand the country and the people or perhaps they in reality are working to undermine the movement intentionally. I will defend the OWS from all of its enemies including these arrogant provacateurs - regardless who they think they are working for.
