In his monologue Mike Huckabee referred to Occupy Wall Street as ‘young and the wanna be young’ who would rather ‘yell’ than work. He continued, saying they should put down their iphones and get jobs in a field picking vegetables. He was trying to be clever and infer these people were hypocrites for using technology invented by billionaires. Its not clear where he got numbers on how many, “lived with their parents” or actually have iphones, but lets assume that most do in fact have iphones, facebook accounts and twitter; people do not go to protests to “yell” about products they like.
He knows exactly what Occupy Wall Street is about. He wrapped up his introduction with an assurance that he was against the bailouts and tax funded bonuses for corporate executes who ruined our financial system and violated the public trust. He also knows this is the majority sentiment in the country but its important that he condemn the protest and controls the message. This folks is how supply-side media works.
I will post a link to his monologue if it becomes available in the internet. It was from the Sunday Oct. 9th episode of “Huckabee”.
