GOP ad zeros in on Elizabeth Warrens Occupy stance
Karl Rove-advised political group unveiled a wide-release ad today whacking Democratic Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren for her support of the Occupy movement, and indicating she values the protest more than job creation.

In Less than a Minute Alan Grayson Explains Occupy Wall Street to the 1%
Alan Grayson demonstrated why all the media complaints about the unclear message behind Occupy Wall Street is nonsense. It took former Rep. Grayson 37 seconds to explain what Occupy Wall Street is about. He almost delivered the perfect 30 second sound bite, but he ran a tiny bit over. It isnt that the one percent and the Republicans who support them cant understand Occupy Wall Street. Its that they dont want to. The message isnt complicated.
The right has been trying to play on the fears of some who support Occupy Wall Street by claiming that the left is hijacking the movement, but the support and media sophistication of people like Alan Grayson and Bernie Sanders can only help these protests grow. Grayson demonstrated the value of having someone speak on the movements behalf that understands and is comfortable with television.
The right and many in the media will continue to make jokes and play dumb, but while they are laughing it up, a movement is growing. They may intentionally not understand the message of Occupy Wall Street, but millions of Americans do, and these people want their democracy back.
