(154,021 posts)(FYI I heard a few democrats at the DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION NO LESS) credit OWS for quite a few things. One of those people was Nancy Pelosi no less. Van Jones spoke at length of them too, and I might add the Chairman of the Democratic Party and yes the AG of the state Kamela Harris.
And I know a FEW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL CENTRAL COMMITTEE of the local DEMOCRATIC PARTY are OSD members.
I have also made a point to write in news stories when Occupy is involved in a few projects.
But hey... whatever trips your trigger, one day, when the definite history of this period is written, probably by a graduate student, probably PhD candidate, much of this crap will be written in definite form.
I have the feeling that you have a stake in the process and keep shooting them down. They must be a threat to you, And truth be told, you are not alone, they are a threat to a lot of people in the ruling elites. Most of them happen to be Repubs at this point, but many conservadems hate occupy the same way they hated the anti war movement and the civil rights movement. American history, rinse, repeat.
