If you scroll all the way down the page to the bottom you see Center for American Progress, which is the liberal front for the Democrats. This is why the early decision to Occupy Wall Street in NYC instead of DC. (Guessing)
It's classic co-optation or the Gates embrace and extend market tool.
Words like Wall Street, Banks, War, etc have been erased. The next step is for 99% to enter the DC media mill and circulate around for a week or so... replaying the screaming right media at the more composed Democrats who try to co-opt a popular base by appearing to be `reasonable' and `understanding'... by not using words like Wall Street, Banks, War, about which they have done nothing or worse...which was why the base deserted them...
All of which was why I threw my tv out. I am pretty sure a lot of the #OWS crew knows all this.
