They're misreading the international scene and using the same old tactics that they evolved since the 60's--discredit the leaders, attack the sympathetic politicians, etc.--while failing to notice that there ARE no leaders, and the Occupy enterprise is far more than a simple political entity, and is engaged in fomenting major social changes of a sort that goes much deeper than the narrow-gauge partisan wrangling typical of America. They think they're fighting off Glass-Steagall when the OWS people are thinking Iceland.
Like every reactive force, the 1% and their tools are gearing up to fight the last war.

don't own democracy in the end. And their insistance on forcing 'realities' on people will only alienate them as more people like OWS and the freedom it allows to live your own truths.
