Rich Lowry calls NYC demonstrators "stereotypically aging hippies..."

[Permanut]

and young kids who could have just left a Phish concert. I had difficulty making it through his column today, as posted in the Oregonian:

To channel Mike Malloy, you have no idea how much I hate these people; they are truly evil.

1. "Rich Lowry is the editor of National Review. "

Need we say more?

[Permanut]

15. l learn something every day on DU....

I did not know about the "starbursts" thingie. Thanks all!

[Enrique]

2. they're aging stereotypically?

what, like getting wrinkles and gray hair?

[Supersedeas]

7. and the whole caring about broader issues of social justice...stuff

[kenfrequed]

13. Yeah!

Damn them for caring about other people, infrastructure, and the elderly. Why can't they be more like the people that work on Walstreet!

[Avalux]

3. I guess that's why there's so many nurses, teachers and laborers there.

You know, working-class union-type folk.

I saw a photo of an elderly woman with a huge smile on her face, standing in the crowd, holding a sign that read "I'm 84 and I'm mad as hell".

Rich Lowry can try to frame the protesters as he wishes, but the protesters in NY and in hundreds of other cities across the country and world have a message for him:

We are the 99%.

[timtom]

10. And USMC vets

and airline pilots...

"Aging hippies", indeed! What utter morons!

[City Lights]

4. He's just depressed 'cuz Sarah isn't sending starburts into his living room anymore.

Poor little Richie. :nopity:

[SpiralHawk]

5. This is a deliberate RepubliCorp strategery

to divide and conquer with their bogus accusations...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Isn't Rich Lowry the twit who had such a stiffie for Palin?

I suppose now that she's not going to be sending him starbursts through his TV he's all limp and despondent. Lacking an outlet for his manly desires he put away his jar of Vaseline and picked up his poison pen; time for a lonely right-wing perv to do a little hippie bashing to make himself feel better.

[Major Hogwash]

14. OMG! That's hysterical!

That's funnier than what I was going to say about him.

:rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Whereas Rich Lowry is that talking turd in a suit

You know him; he was the "Young Republicans for Reagan" kid in college who holed up in his dorm room beating off to a picture of Ayn Rand while the rest of us were drinking beer, smoking pot and getting laid.

[NYC Liberal]

9. LOL: He claims liberals "envy" the tea baggers!

Too funny!

Also, apparently teabaggers are people who "don't have the time or inclination to protest anything." It shows: their "rallies" these days are down to dozens of people. More people attended a rally held by two comedians mocking the tea baggers than attended the tea bagger rally they were mocking!

[HughBeaumont]

12. Yes, I'm jelly of Darwinist uneducated Faux-droolers who vote against their (and my) best interests.

What a TOOLbox.

[barbtries]

11. i do have some idea

because that's how much i hate them too. and i don't like that, having to digest this hatred.
