Let me get this out of the way....Your blog sucks.

"Loudoun County, Va., has a median household income of $119,540, making it the nation's richest county" Ok let me get this right the median household income is less than $250,000 a year and a household making $119k a year is FAR FAR FAR from being a 1% so that means vote republican?

What kind of crack is this guy smoking? Just because median income is high does not mean everyone there is a 1% 120k a year is a decent wage for a family to make but it does not make them super weathy.

His point. I fail to see it.

Babwa Wawa: His point. I fail to see it.

We should be vilifying the middle class, not the rich?

Babwa Wawa: His point. I fail to see it.

"Occupy is the enemy and since we still don't have a legitimate criticism of the movement we will create as many strawmen as possible to discredit them."

Uh. Top 1% of earners are making about 500 grand/yr, genius blogger guy.

I'm going to email the guy with a rebuttal and see if he actually responds. Should be fun.

These 1 percenters are not wealthy right-wing Republicans; they are Obama's liberals. How can one tell? It turns out that seven of the 10 wealthiest counties in the Washington area voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008. These liberals portray themselves as 99 percenters when they are really 1 percenters. They're simply running a deceitful rope-a-dope, aided by the mainstream media, on the American people.

During last year's Occupy movement, truly seedy-looking characters camped out on the streets and in the parks of several of our cities, causing millions of dollars of property damage. They committed robberies, thefts and sex crimes. Some of their lowlife acts, such as defecating and urinating in public and on police vehicles, were filmed. These people also portrayed themselves as 99 percenters. It turns out that they weren't that at all.

so he's saying that super wealthy obama supporters created the occupy movement as an excuse to take sh*ts in the streets? how could i ever have been so foolish as to fall for such an obvious ploy?!

i also love how he compares the median home value and rental value of people arrested at occupy NYC to those of the rest of the country and is SHOCKED to find out that they are higher.

Keep us updated, please.

yes i also look forward to hearing about you being called a dickless liberal by a random blogger.

Indeed. I would love to see the exchange. "The guy" (or random blogger if you will) has an interesting background.

(Please tell me that you've heard of him before)

oh yeah i've seen this dude around the farks before. he's really good at false comparisons and logical fallacies.

You seem upset.

no, i just can't imagine there being anything more than a cursory ad hominem as a response.

thomps: oh yeah i've seen this dude around the farks before. he's really good at false comparisons and logical fallacies.

Perhaps you could engage him as well and share it with the class.

thomps: so he's saying that super wealthy obama supporters created the occupy movement as an excuse to take sh*ts in the streets? how could i ever have been so foolish as to fall for such an obvious ploy?!

Real Americans don't need any excuses to take a dump on a police car.

Right-wing strawman: "OWS hate all rich people because they are jealous of all their money."
Right-winger observes high income around DC, a Democratic stronghold.
Conclusion: liberals are hypocrites.

My conclusion? This right-winger has very poor critical thinking skills.

Dancin_In_Anson: thomps: oh yeah i've seen this dude around the farks before. he's really good at false comparisons and logical fallacies.

to what end? he's clearly invested in a narrative, what could i possibly say to dissuade him?

thomps: what could i possibly say to dissuade him?

Oh I would be interested to read the thomps: cursory ad hominem response that is typical of William's style.

(you know how I know you've never heard of him?)

well i clearly wrote the "dickless liberal" thing before you pointed out who he was. are you vouching for the logical voracity of this article? prehaps we could have an exchange on the subject, since, you know, we are in a discussion forum.

From your link:

Cartoonist Bruce Tinsley, in his comic strip Mallard Fillmore, launched a campaign to draft Williams for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2008 United States presidential election.

Pretty damning stuff.

as is this:

"In 2009, Greg Ransom, a writer for the Ludwig von Mises Institute, ranked Williams as the third-most important "Hayekian" Public Intellectual in America, behind only Thomas Sowell and John Stossel."

Babwa Wawa: His point. I fail to see it.

Ignore the 1%, keep fighting amongst yourselves, move along, nothing to see here.

Townhall makes American Thinker look like The Economist.

Oh. Wow. There are wealthy Democrats.

I'll alert the media.

The My Little Pony Killer: Still, it'd be fun to watch this guy get butthurt and start frothing at the mouth.

You know how I know that YOU have never heard of the guy either?

so that's a "no" on discussing the merits of his argument then?

What the fark is up with the endless parade of anti-OWS greenlights this week? Give it a rest, mods.

Dusk-You-n-Me: Oh. Wow. There are wealthy Democrats.

I'll alert the media.

Remember, it's only bad to be rich if you're helping people with your money...Or you're not white.

I took one class he taught at Mason back in the early 90s. He was batshiat crazy and borderline senile then, and it appears he's gone full retard since I graduated.

Had I handed in a paper with this thesis (OWS activists are actually the 1%), and his evidence (the voting patterns of wealthy locales and the home values of OWS activists - neither of which really support his thesis), I would have gotten an F.

you obviously have no idea who this person is, right DIA?

I admire the imaginative way this blogger has created his own definition of 1% in order to make his point.
