Winter Woes Threaten Wall Street Occupiers

They put on a gritty war face and insist they are more determined now than ever, but the Occupy Wall Street campers now face the slow advance of an unrelenting enemy: the New York winter. As freezing winds blew Friday over the epicenter of their protests, Zuccotti Park in Manhattan, the demonstrators were already huddling in significantly reduced numbers. At night, the several hundred people who sleep on site in the financial district bundle up as best they can under plastic tarps, hunkering down in sleeping bags and emergency blankets as tents are forbidden on the plaza. Many sleep with bonnets and scarves. But the worst has yet to come. “So far, we have been extremely ...

(10-22) 04:42 PDT ATLANTA (AP) -- Herman Cain is learning the hard way what it means to face the glare of the national spotlight. After captivating Republicans hungry for an alternative to Mitt Romney, the presidential hopeful has made a series of stumbles that have left some questioning if he's ready for the White House. The Georgia businessman has been on a media blitz since a rise in the polls catapulted him into the top tier of the race for the Republican party nomination. But Cain has sometimes appeared to be in over his head. In the last week, he: _Suggested a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico should be electrified to kill illegal immigrants trying to pass into the ...
Confirmed: Bachmann's NH Staff Left

It doesn't bode well for Michele Bachmann's campaign that no one knew the entire New Hampshire paid staff had left. The resignation of Bachmann's team was first reported Friday by New Hampshire television station WMUR, but when asked about it, Bachmann called the story “shocking” and denied it was true. But Bachmann's former New Hampshire campaign director, Jeff Chidester, said he quit a week ago and told the national campaign. At least three, and possibly four, other staffers left. One, Carolilne Gilger, Bachmann's southern state field director, is joining Rick Perry's campaign. Read it at CBS News October 22, 2011 7:29 AM

Medford, New Jersey mayor Chris Myers is here to fill the weekly news slot reserved for the outing of one or another garden variety self-loathing, escort-loving closeted Republican politician with a weak claim that he is totally clueless as to how a California rentboy got all those photos of Myers and his magical Superman-sized briefs asleep in a hotel bed (along with pictures of his IDs and his cell phone number).

Halloween Decoration Removed From Brooklyn Home After Being Called Racist

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Halloween display at a home in Brooklyn has been taken down after some called it a symbol of racism. A scarecrow painted to have dark skin was hanging by a rope from a tree in front of a home in Kensington. Some neighbors say the homeowner gets in the spirit of Halloween every year and believe he meant no harm by the display. But one councilman argued it was reminiscent of a lynching. “It’s unacceptable,” said Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn). “You ain’t speaking for this whole community because some people on this block came by and said it was offensive. They came and said it was offensive. It’s not a cool decoration.” ...
U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor Cancels Wharton Speech (Because It Was Going To Be Open To The Public)

U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, the Republican majority leader in the U.S. House, canceled his scheduled speech at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business because if was going to be open to the first 300 people who showed up. Given that hundreds of Occupy Philadelphia protesters were planning to march from City Hall to the campus to protest the speech, that could have been lively audience. "The Office of the Majority Leader was informed last night by Capitol Police that the University of Pennsylvania was unable to ensure that the attendance policy previously agreed to could be met," Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon said in an email.

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Plan Changes to 9-0-9 Plan for Poor Americans

Herman Cain has made some changes to his 9-9-9 plan, telling an audience in Detroit Friday that the poorest Americans would get a "9-0-9" plan and be excluded from his tax proposal. Cain has been getting hit on all sides for his 9-9-9 plan, something he repeats constantly during GOP presidential debates. The plan calls for a nine percent corporate, national sales and income tax to replace the current tax system. The 9-9-9 plan also calls for elimination of capital gains, estate and payroll taxes. Tax experts and groups that have analyzed the plan concluded that the proposal would shift the tax burden onto low-income Americans and away from the rich. Others have said it is an ...
Sen. Marco Rubio Embellished Story Of ‘Cuban Exile’ Parents

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a tea party favorite, embellished the facts surrounding his parent’s emigration from Cuba, according to The Washington Post. Rubio has been claiming for years that his family joined an exodus from Cuba in 1959 after the revolution led by Fidel Castro. In a 2010 campaign ad, for instance, he referred to himself as the “son of Cuban exiles.” But naturalization papers and other official records show that his parents arrived in the United States in 1956, well before Castro took power. And they returned to Cuba several times after Castro declared the island a socialist state. His parents waited 15 years to seek naturalization. ...

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart pointed out Thursday that there seemed to be no conservatives willing to give President Barack Obama and the United States any credit for the death of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. “The [Obama] administration reacted to today’s victory with relief and amazement, the Libyan people with gratitude and jubilation, but for one group, the death of Gaddafi, the dictator and major sponsor of international terrorism, would require more reflection, time to process and figure out how this good news could actually be bad,” Stewart explained. Fox News co-host Andrea Tantaros complained that “we don’t know what these rebels are going to ...

Libya’s National Transitional Council announced Thursday that Gadhafi had been captured and later died during the assault on his hometown Sirte. “Big deal,” he said. “What do we get out of it?

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hailed the reported death of Muammar Qadhafi as a “victory” for President Obama. “This is a victory for the president, the Obama administration but most importantly” for the Libyan people, McCain said on Fox News Thursday morning. At the time that the senator make these remarks, the White House had not yet confirmed reports of the former Libyan ruler’s death. McCain said he believed “there’s very little doubt” that Qadhafi had been killed. In a statement released earlier in the day, the Arizona senator said Qadhafi’s death “marks an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution” but didn’t mention ...

Conservative opinion-maker Rush Limbaugh talks like he knows everything about everything, but this week he really stepped in it. Sensing a chance to attack President Barack Obama, the Republican talk show host defended the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and claimed that Obama had deployed a small number of troops to Africa to “wipe out Christians.” A few moments later he was backpedaling, after someone informed him that he’d just stuck up for one of the most brutal militia movements in the world. LRA rebels are accused of terrorizing, murdering, raping and kidnapping thousands of people in the four nations, and tens of thousands of people died in their 20-year war with ...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Afghan President Hamid Karzai shared some laughs Thursday over GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain's recent dismissive remarks about Uzbekistan. At the start of a meeting in Kabul, Clinton said Karzai had seen a news clip in which Cain said he didn't "even know the names of all these presidents of all these countries." In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network earlier this month, Cain was asked how he would deal with "gotcha questions" from the media. He replied: "When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I'm going to say: `You ...

(10-20) 09:10 PDT Concord, N.H. (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum says rival Herman Cain has been misleading voters about his position on abortion. In a CNN interview late Wednesday, Cain said he personally opposes abortion in all circumstances but that the government shouldn't try to tell families or women what to do. Campaigning in New Hampshire on Thursday, Santorum told The Associated Press that Cain's position is the same as virtually all politicians who favor abortion rights. Santorum also says that Cain's view shows that he is untested as a candidate. Santorum says it's now obvious that Cain's personal views don't apply to his public ...

Yesterday, Melissa Brookstone, a Tea Party blogger, called for a strike of small business owners against what she believes is a global socialist movement working with President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Senate. The strike would be accomplished by these small business owners refusing to hire any new workers until "this war against business and [the United States] is stopped." Ms. Brookstone, in this post and others on the same website, accused President Obama of having dictatorial powers. She has also accused the media and Hollywood of working with so-called progressive socialists against business, the free market, individual rights, and capitalism. Melissa Brookstone is ...
GOP Senators Angry About Reid Claim That They're Rooting For Economic Failure

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is trying to bring comity back to the upper chamber, has broken protocol by accusing Republicans of rooting for the economy to fail. The accusations from the blunt Nevada Democrat have irritated Republicans, and complicated Reid’s effort to hold a bipartisan meeting with senators in the near future. In the Senate, where lawmakers routinely address their adversaries as “my friend,” Reid’s attack on GOP motives is a jarring break from traditional decorum. Reid said Republican opposition to President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill is based purely on politics, and has cited their votes against the measure as evidence they want ...
U.S. Israel Lobby Little More Than GOP Front Group

This is just shameful. As a Jew (if not a particularly practicing one), watching how the American-Israel lobby gives a horrible name to Israel (and Jews for that matter) becomes more embarrassing every day. And since Republicans have decided to make believe that Obama is "vulnerable on Israel" --- they will say anything for perceived political gain, no matter whether it's actually true or not --- I suspect this sort of thing is only going to get shamefully worse as the 2012 election nears. Two recent examples, both detailed below, demonstrate the desperation and willingness of these folks to use the State of Israel as little more than a propaganda bludgeon for Republican ...

Herman Cain quickly found himself being pummeled at Tuesday night’s CNN debate, even as his rivals preceded their punches with words of praise, and his “read my plan” defense was strikingly weak. But after those opening moments, it was Mitt Romney who took over the event with a series of toe-to-toe exchanges—with Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and, most vociferously, Rick Perry—in which he stood his ground and refused to be talked over.Perhaps such things shouldn’t matter, but by keeping his cool and forcing his rivals to stop interrupting him, Romney projected an image of strength—and cemented his status as the man to beat. He undoubtedly bested the Las ...

He said he would donate the funds from Koch’s political action committee to the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, which helps families of the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Maffei cited a report this month in Bloomberg Markets that Koch sold millions of dollars of ...

Before the fight over Ohio’s restrictions on state workers’ collective bargaining, 78-year- old Marlene Quinn was never involved in politics -- just the Girl Scouts and PTA. Now each side contesting a Nov. 8 referendum on the law has produced commercials featuring Quinn, a Cincinnati mother of three, grandmother of nine and great-grandmother of 23 with No. 24 on the way. Quinn initially appeared in an ad for We Are Ohio, the coalition seeking to repeal the measure. She said firefighters who saved her son and 3-year-old great-granddaughter in November wouldn’t be able to negotiate for safe staffing levels. Then, the group backing the law ran an ad with the same footage to ...
Occupy Wall Street Speaks For America: A "Centrist" Hit Job's Polling Data Helps Prove It

Thanks to a hit piece by one of those Beltway pseudo-"bipartisans" we can now state conclusively what many of us have long suspected: Occupy Wall Street speaks for the American majority. We've got the polling numbers to prove it. We now know where the real center lies. It's easy to understand why people like Douglas Schoen are lining up to attack OWS. It shines a spotlight on their cardboard centrism - that think-tank designed, artificially-inseminated, vat-grown corporate ideology so widely rejected by the public at large. OWS represents the real American consensus, and that has them running scared. But Schoen's Wall Street Journal editorial falls so far ...
Panicked Conservatives Are Labeling The Occupy Protests As 'anti-Semitic' In An Attempt To Break Up The Movement

An ugly old tradition is back: Exploiting anti-Semitism to break the backs of popular movements that threaten the power of the wealthiest one per cent of our population. It is being used to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement, which has conservatives in a state of near panic.I don't know the first time the tactic was used, although it dates back almost to the beginning of the Jewish diaspora.Perhaps its most famous use was by the viciously anti-Semitic Czar Nicholas, whose supporters concocted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion at the start of the 20th century to prevent Russians from joining socialist movements and other reform efforts that were fighting to get the czar to cede ...
