Envy

Time to again laugh at the right wing's worthless comments about OWS.  CNN set National Review's chump of the month against Matt Taibbi.  Shallow, unsubstantiated opinion against facts and research.

NR-Boy accuses the marchers of deadly sinfulness: they are motivated by envy.  The 99% want the 1%'s riches.  Outrage over illegal Wall Street deals does not resonate with the Boy; nor does money's de facto and de jure corruption of American politics.  Envy -- nasty green envy -- is the protesters' driving force.  He knows what OWS really wants because...  OK, he just knows. 

Imagine a group of people protesting because they want to rid their neighborhood of drug dealers.  The citizens are outraged.  Drug deals take place in the open.  Cops are paid off.  Politicians blame the protesters for not just moving away.  The dealers also shake down local businesses by demanding protection money.  Mom and Pop groceries go bust as long-time customers are frightened off.   And, on TV, the National Review's chump of the month sneers:  protesters, he says, envy the drug dealers' money.  Crime is secondary.  The rabble wants the fancy cars and fine clothes.  The Boy just knows it.
