2. Ah, I see you have chosen # 2 of the Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation
Sat Jan 21, 2012, 11:28 AM
Jan 2012

ie:
2.
"Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used to show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme"
side issue used:
"Unions and OWS are Obama supporters and voters. Do you think that would happen after what occurred in Wisconsin."

Which has nothing to do with the main point of the article, of course.

Plus OWS has NEVER taken sides politically with either Repubs or Dems,
OWS clearly state they are NOT addressing candidates, office holders on a political level.

and I see #5 of the Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation also:
" Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule."
ie: " Chris Hedges has always made my head hurt with his fantasy."

which fantasy you refer to and what the fantasy is being unmentioned, of course.
