Re: Doyle is a Cunt.

The criticism that the occupy movement is unfocused and lacks a plausible manifesto has been levelled against it worldwide (particularly by fox news/cnn), not just here, and is sort of missing the point. I kind of like Rushkoff's perspective: http://www.rushkoff.com/blog/2011/10/26/cnn-occupy-wall-s...
