Washington Post compares OWS to vermin..

The movement began as a protest of major economic and political issues, but lately the most divisive issue has become the protests themselves. The Occupy Wall Street encampments that formed across the country to spotlight crimes committed on Wall Street have become rife with problems of their own. There are sanitation hazards and drug overdoses, even occasional deaths and sexual assaults.

On Tuesday, New York and other cities across the country continued the chaotic, disruptive process of picking sides. Police made arrests in at least six states; three civil rights groups filed lawsuits on behalf of protesters. Mayors and city officials from coast to coast held emergency meetings and tried to decide:

Is the most far-reaching protest movement in the past decade solving problems or creating them?

Is this an occupation or an infestation?

1. Perhaps they should worry more about the vermin within their own company.

They can start with the Boss and his family.

14. Don Graham is a Reagan Republican who inherited the paper from Katherine Graham

And promptly fired all the liberals. He's also a scumbag on top of that.

Moreover, WaPo jumped the shark when they (a) moved to a regional paper
format, abandoning pretensions of being a national newspaper in favor of
a Hearst publication model;

(b) Got the Carnegie Institute for International Peace to publish a series
of major editorials to help convince Congress to invade Iraq.

4. WaPo is not left leaning in any way. At least not since Ben Bradlee.

6. LOL. Written, no doubt, by the same 'journalists' who consider Erin Burnett a colleague.

:sarcasm:

9. I'm surprised Burnett even has time to write

When she isn't masturbating to Breivik's online screeds...

7. I remember another time in history when the media refered to....

a specific 'group' of people as vermin and raising the infestation 'question'. I believe it began in the mid 1930's.

What a disgusting and dangerous implication by this newspaper.

[Fumesucker]

8. Bingo..

That's the association I had with that term too..

10. So the problems that occur everywhere else also happen there.

Wow, what a huge shock. Thanks for the breaking news, WaPo ******.

Nice job catapulting that propaganda.

15. They're just butthurt that DC has not yet evicted the two Occupy sites

Why should they? Their favorite pols want to defund the Park Service.

But trust me, it's on the agenda. I'd bet anything the reason it hasn't happened is because they can't figure out a way of pressuring DC to evict the local Occupy without it coming back on the Administration in a way they've avoided in other blue cities evicting occupy.
