In reply to the discussion: Karen Beck of MoveOn says she will call the police on #Occupy if their actions upset her [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)I am not defending Ms. Beck as I know nothing about her. But I am concerned that there would be those that want to drive a wedge between Occupy and the rest of the progressive community.
I dont no shit about moveon at the "headquarter" level, but I am familiar with them at the local level. They have been protesting for years. MoveOn hasnt taken their civil disobedience to the level of Occupy and hasnt gotten the publicity but the ones I know all support Occupy and want to help as they can. I have stood in the freezing rain in front of FedEx, Bank of America and the post office on tax day. Some will question the effectiveness of moveon but I say we are all in the same war. There will be different tactics.
Be suspicious of those that try to turn us against each other.
