I think people are confusing Naomi Wolf with Naomi Klein. I'm pretty sure of this.

OK, similar names, they both get arrested, they even look a little bit alike.

Naomi Klein

is a sort of hero to me and to progressive causes.

She supports unions and the 99% and even gets arrested helping us to move forward.



She writes for a well-respected publication called "The Nation": http://www.thenation.com/authors/naomi-klein

Naomi Wolf

is another author and well-known figure.

She gets arrested sometimes, and she talks a lot. She was arrested after attending a Huffington Post event for Andrew Cuomo at Skylight Studios in Manhattan (I think it was for the cameras).

She was married to and has children with David Shipley, current editor of "Bloomberg View" and former Op-Ed editor of the New York Times.

She now writes for some weird Internet Bloggy mess called "The Huffington Post": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-wolf

Sometimes, Naomi Wolf is on Fox News!



The Nation magazine has had more than one article about Naomi Wolf, like this one:

..."Naomi Wolf: Wrong Again on Rape" http://www.thenation.com/blog/157601/naomi-wolf-wrong-again-rape

Naomi Wolf wrote a silly speculative article for "The Guardian" that was filled with make-believe, and a LOT of people believed every word of it!

It's TRUE! NO, I mean that people believe it, not the article itself, that's false! :P

Or, well, without any evidence, let's say!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "Learning" Part:

There's plenty to be pissed off about right now, without buying into bullshit conspiracy theory "DHS is behind this" sorts of silliness!

Let's just be angry that the 1% have more than 40% of the Wealth!

Isn't that enough?

Do we have to go out there and look silly saying things that sound as crazy as the FEMA Camps theories espoused by many on the right?

Do we?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In conclusion:

Naomi Klein = Smart Progressive Hero.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...Naomi Wolf = Huffington Poster

THIS: . . NOT THIS:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:patriot:
