  How did this nonsensical rubbish get moved to the News - Valley and State pages from the Opinion section?

  Come to think of it, something like this nonsense would never have been allowed on our high school paper editorial pages, because we were required to have facts to back up our opinions.

  Wow. It seems instead of honoring our soldiers on Memorial Day, this person has chosen to attack Americans and spread hate and ignorance. Shame on her.

  If you want to know what the Occupy folks want, just ask, don't make things up (or as I call it, lying).

  It's fair to disagree, but here's a few things the 99% want that you may agree with:

  Reinstate Glass Steagall - End Too Big To Fail
  Overturn Citizen United/Campaign Finance Reform
  Revoke Corporate Personhood law
  Close corporate tax loopholes
  Address US job outsourcing

  Every day a new story comes out about some Occupy folks somewhere saving some veteran's or elderly person's home from foreclosure. You may not agree with everything the Occupy folks do, but if you'd take just a few minutes to educate yourself and not get your opinions from cable news and AM radio, you may find these are just American's, like you, who want to solve our nation's problems.

  Also, everyone I personally know that's in the Tea Party is a racist, including friends and family. Does that mean the Tea Party is racist? The anarchists do not represent the 99%, anymore than some racists represent the entire TP, please stop spreading this misleading information.

  There's always a few bad apples, and the left and the right always use those to attack the other side instead of listening to each other.

  Next Memorial Day, maybe we could honor those who have sacrificed for us by finding common ground, and not by attacking other Americans.

  Shame on Linda Turley-Hansen for taking the low road.
