What is “socialist” about the screed? It states what the protestors claim are their objectives. The article doesn’t take a position on their objectives.

Is reading comprehension that hard?

I agree that OWS are a bunch of idealistic simpletons, but the purpose of this article was to explain to children what these people are doing and why. Just a simple, factual article.

Did you read the piece run about the Tea Party last year, included in the article? It's partisan propaganda pushing Daniel Inouye, Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton, Harry Reid.

Not a single Republican is quoted.

OWS is described as "worldwide" and about jobless and fairness and equity. Tea Party is described as "extreme" and "angry."

Do you NOT see the difference?

[The screed] states what the protestors claim are their objectives.

The Occupiers have no objectives.

Kinda like the Tea Party, where if someone claims they're a leader, they're not. Small groups therein may have a leader, but the movement does not.

Likewise, anyone claiming to have a list of Occupy objectives doesn't. Small groups therein may have objectives, but the movement does not.
