CONSERVATIVES ARE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT OWS

As far as I can tell, the radio gasbags (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Ingraham, and Prager) have nothing but negative remarks for OWS.  This is in contrast to some mildly positive remarks by other prominent conservatives, now lincluding Rick Santorum:
Santorum: Republicans 'ignore some realities' on economy

Coralville, Iowa (CNN) - After the speech, Santorum told CNN that while he generally considers the Occupiers misguided, they have a "legitimate point."

"The original idea, which is that Wall Street is getting preferential treatment, bailouts and support, while the rest of the country is struggling, is a legitimate point," he said, pointing out that he opposed TARP and the "moral hazards" of Too Big To Fail.
