There's been a lot of back and forth about Right Wing involvement in the Occupy movement. Here's your chance to get some facts.
If you're free Thursday March 20th and want to get the skinny on Right Wing attempts to exploit the Occupy movement, you might want to make your way to Brooklyn for The Right Hand of the Occupy Movement.
This will be a talk given by Spencer Sunshine, a noted writer, researcher and journalist. He describes the topic as follows:
Many activists think that any talk of Far Right involvement in Occupy was a “smear” by mainstream media, based on a lone man with a sign. In truth, although it was a largely Left-leaning event, Occupy had a Right-wing of 20+ groups and prominent individuals who were white nationalists and Nazis, antisemites, conspiracy theorists, and anti-Federal Reserve activists.
Full disclosure. I've known Spencer Sunshine for 20 years. He is scrupulous in his research and writing. Whatever your judgement of his analysis, you will likely come away better informed than you were.
