14. That's an anti-Occupy propaganda headline spawned by Fox News.

Ron Paul supporters have nothing to do with Occupy.

Their corporatist beliefs and message are the total opposite of ours. They are a misguided cult of personality that needs a leader.

Occupy is trying to eliminate rule by corporation and has and needs no leader.

Just because they show up to make themselves visible at Occupy events does not mean that we have joined forces with them in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

I'm sick and tired of this anti-Occupy propaganda that tries to create a meme that Occupy is somehow associated with Ron Paul and that cult of personality.
