But unfortunately, Clarence Page doesn’t work for the Onion.

Sure he does. He just doesn’t submit his stories to them.

Really, it’s gotten to the point that this is the sum total of the liberal/Democrat position with respect to their opponents. In fact, you can sum up all of the Democrat platform these days in a few simple sentences:

1. No one is to blame for anything unless they are rich.
2. No one should be required to be responsible for anything unless they are rich.
3. Everyone deserves to be given everything (unless they already have it).
4. If you disagree with us, you are evil.

We can only hope.

Doug Schoen sent a pollster from his firm down to interview 200 of the OWSers. He published the results in the WSJ (Hot Air has a link to it this morning. I didn’t pay attention if his column was published in today’s WSJ or yesterday’s).

Anyway, he’s got some hard statistical data which largely confirms Williamson’s anecdotal observations. They are mostly very had left ideologues.

Schoen thinks Obama and the Democrats are making a mistake aligning with them.

You have hit the Dem/Progressive philsophical nail on the head. It doesn’t matter what it IS, it only matters how it APPEARS. As they say, a mile wide but only an inch deep.

As I, and others, have written, don’t get lured onto the Progressive playing field to meet them head on, make them come to you. You will see their empty little heads explode in a tirade of ad hominem attacks and contradictory logic a sthey reveal their “inch deep” values.

A man whose upbringing far more resembles Louis Winthrop III, than Billy Ray Valentine (“One dollar, Mortimer”) — he is “authentic” and “real” African American — because you see — he believes and supports all the good and right things. Like Affirmative Action, etc.

It doesn’t MATTER what a conservative black man’s background might be. Totally irrelevant. The tea bagger racists are still racists, because THAT guy is NOT authentic. He is just an Uncle Tom, bowing and shuffling to his racist overlords. He is a traitor to the cause; a traitor to the Tribe. A traitor to his race.

“I’ve been spending as much time as I can down at Occupy Wall Street, listening to the speeches, reading the literature, talking to the organizers. Here’s something to keep in mind: You’ll hear in a lot of the conservative media that this is some kind of socialist/Communist enterprise piggybacking on a populist protest. In reality, it is much worse than even most of the conservative media is reporting.

“Almost every organization present at OWS is explicitly Communist or socialist. Almost every piece of literature being handed out is explicitly Communist or socialist. I don’t mean half, and I don’t mean the overwhelming majority – I mean almost all of it.

“Yes, there are the usual union goons trying to figure out how to get OWS to do the bidding of the AFL-CIO and the Democratic party, and the usual smattering of New Age goo (the “Free Empathy” table) and po-mo Left wackiness (animal-rights nuts), the inevitable Let’s-Eradicate-Israel crowd (“Free Palestine, from the river to the sea!”).

“But, that being said, almost every organized enterprise and piece of printed material I have encountered has been socialist or Communist. It’s been a long time since I saw anybody peddling books by Lenin. It’s been a long time since anybody told me “the Ukrainians had it coming.'”

Stay frosty, folks.
