The New York Times Makes Fun of Wall Street Demonstrators

The New York Times makes fun of Wall Street demonstrators:
Some said they were fighting the legal doctrine of corporate personhood; others, not fully understanding what that meant, believed it meant corporations paid no taxes whatsoever. Others came to voice concerns about the death penalty, the drug war, the environment.

“I want to get rid of the combustion engine,” John McKibben, an activist from Vermont, declared as his primary ambition.

“I want to create spectacles,” Becky Wartell, a recent graduate of the College of the Atlantic in Maine, said.
Even the New York Times sees these well fed demonstrators as less then effective.
