The point, based on the survey,
is that these aren't the unemployed and helpless people that others on the thread are projecting on them.
A lot of people aren't even going by appearances. They have an idea of what sort of people they want the OWS folks to be, and just say that this is who they are, regardless. Note that Newt made the same mistake.
And don't lose track. This is not a "movement." This is a political weapon, and (as I point out elsewhere) it backfired on the Democrats. In a month you won't even see these people on the back pages of national news outlets.
