Occupy New Orleans
If you're in the neighborhood and want to be in that number tomorrow, check out their Facebook page for the details.
Rush Limbaugh called the demonstrators 'a parade of human debris'.
And for lagniappe...
'Baby, Please Make a Change' performed by Hugh Laurie with Tom Jones and Irma Thomas from the album 'Let Them Talk'.
Anyone who doubts that the opposition to Occupy is about elitist, greedy, self-serving individuals need look no farther than the comments by Limbaugh and on the articles about Occupy Wall Street, including:
ReplyDelete"These are just a bunch of losers who are too lazy, sorry, or stupid to get theirs."
"Thank God I'm in the 1%!"
Mme. Defarge knits a few more lines.
"A parade of human debris"?
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't think anything people could say could still shock me.
Grandmere, go give 'em hell and have fun doing it!
ReplyDeleteRush's commentary was the lowest of the low. I saw the video of his radio show on a news show, and it was disgusting to hear and to watch.
ReplyDeleteAs I said at Facebook, what we plan to do (and I'm kinda dragging Grandpère along) is meet the group at Lafayette Square, stay a while, express our support, and give a donation for food or supplies for when the group moves on to City Hall for their occupation. It's not much, but it's something.
Those "it's not much" gestures add up to "much" very quickly. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Grandmere and Grandpere!
ReplyDeleteEvery person who stands in solidarity counts. Thank you for being there!
ReplyDelete"Human debris"? Maybe even a few drug addicts, Rush.
ReplyDeleteLet's not decend to tu coke arguments, Lapin.
ReplyDelete(leaving stage - quickly)

ReplyDeleteMark, you learn quickly. ;-)
