OWS should be shunned because they’re dirty hippies, Elizabeth Warren is not-like-you because, horrors, she’s a Harvard professor.
The real problem here is that he's defining OWS as this vague movement that simply stands as opposition to the evils of the upper 1%; nothing more, nothing less. And if that's as far as it goes, I am all in favor of OWS. Nevertheless, I am not, because I define Occupy Wallstreet as the hippies that are doing just that: occupying Wallstreet.
The truth is that you will not send any good messages by defecating on police cars or raping fellow protesters.
