Low Friends in High Places: Triad of Business, Cops and Politicians Attack Occupy | Truthout

Low Friends in High Places: Triad of Business, Cops and Politicians Attack Occupy | Truthout

Better to keep a tight lid on the #OWS movement because it is upsetting to the 1% that the American middle class really does care about their status.

Why We All Need to Experience Occupy Wall Street | Truthout

Why We All Need to Experience Occupy Wall Street | Truthout

The realpolitik of America is showing because #OWS is an inconvenient reality.

Politifact is a scam for Republicans

From Politifact that named "Lie of the Year" to "Republicans who voted to end Medicare" comes this gem from the article:

"• They used harsh terms such as "end" and "kill" when the program would still exist, although in a privatized system."

Medicare is not a privatized, for profit system that payees have to qualify for. Perhaps Poltifact should be relegated to being a shill for conservative talking points.

It is time to simply tell media outlets that use Politifact to stop using their conservatively biased "fact checking" as being objective.

Obama: A disaster for civil liberties

The choice in 2012 of lesser evils? But what if the President is indistinguishable from his conservative opponents on civil liberties?
