ABSTRACT
Last fall, The New York Post spent months denouncing Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters as 1960s retreads, dirty hippies, and violent radicals. Similarly, on November 8, 2011, Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn mocked the Occupy Wall Street Movement as “a lark. For Woodstock wannabes, [for whom] it’s a romantic trip back to the Vietnam War protests…. Occupy Wall Street has taken a high-profile part of Manhattan and turned it into an anarchist campground … of the homeless and a haven for drug dealing.” 1
