The OP is an idiot. I didn’t want to actually go read the linked pamphlet, but thought it might clearly be a conservative pretending to be an crazy left-winger. (Kinda like the actors that led to ACORN’s downfall.) But no, it read like it was from a sincere nutsack who can’t tell the difference between Nazi Germany and 21st century Amerika.

The columnist (“News Editor”) the OP linked to was imbecilic. The opening of her column was:  
_Welcome to Occupy Phoenix, the latest violent embarrassment to American society. This group of occupiers is asking, “When should you shoot a cop?”_

Those contentions are so unjustified to warrant no one spending any time reading the woman for any reason other than mocking her. For **ducati** to link to her vomit and apparently take it serious is good evidence that he is an idiot.

As has been well documented in this thread, the pamphlet author is a not affiliated with any “Occupy” movement in a significant way, and his anti-tax obsession clearly has more in common with conservative causes than liberal ones.
