As you might be aware, Boston Police arrested nearly 150
occupiers earlier this week when they disobeyed an order to leave
the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Well, as it turns out, many of those arrested reside at some
rather tony addresses in the People’s Republic of Cambridge. It
also seems these so-called 99 percenters are a rather homogeneous
bunch. Howie Carr of The Boston Herald has the
skinny:
I have been studying the Boston police reports, and most of
these hippies, er revolutionaries, are from the ‘burbs. Not the
city, but the bosky dells, especially Cambridge.
Ever hear of Dunster Street, comrade? It’s right there in the
middle of Harvard Square. The cops early Monday lugged a resident
of 101 Dunster St., age 23, and he was “white non-Hispanic.” But
then, aren’t all of the 99 percent?
But even if it is true that 99% of the 99% share a pinkish hue,
we should never judge a person’s politics by their color of their
skin unless, of course, you are member of the Tea Party. Speaking
of which, when will Dana Milbank of The Washington Post
will get around to writing that
column about diversifying the occupiers?

You are bringing to mind Dana Carvey imitating Bush Sr.
LOL.

My total intent is to be grossly impolite. I did not serve this country voluntarily or involuntarily for the like of you MFs. I can type as long as you can erase and ignore.

99% of everybody living in Boston is "white, non hispanic."

It's interesting to point out but I don't think we should use this as a serious line of argumentation except to directly rebut claims about the Tea Party, when of course it would be fair game.
