We'll continue our coverage of “Occupy Wall Street.” RT Producer Lucy Kafanov has the latest, including details on the $300,000 that's been donated and collected by those in NY. And, in the meantime, the president is on a jobs tour in North Carolina and Virginia, symbolically staying far away from Wall St. But with figures coming out about how much his campaign, and Romney's campaign, have taken in from the financial sector, is anyone really fooled? Then, Herman Cain supposedly joked about a border fence electrocuting people over the weekend. We'll take a look at the rise in crazy, violent rhetoric from the GOP. And then, don’t miss our Happy Hour.

Herman Cain supposedly joked about a border fence electrocuting people.
But who does not prefer the Hot Seat or being electrocuted on a fence rather than to have a stroke in Antarctica?
Still, true flag waving is far better than nationalism.
And so then,
Our lovely lifeis just so wonderful.
Alyona, I saw your show for the first time today. It shows how confused Rick Santorum is about American History are when he compares himself to the image of Abe Lincoln. A better comparison would be to real Abe Lincoln (you know the one who fought the civil war in order to line his buddies, northern manufacturers, with tariffs they extracted from southern agriculturalists). The same man who headed the Illinois Colonisation Society dedicated to shipping free Blacks out of the US as well as while president actively worked to send blacks out of the country until his death. The man who showed utter disregard for the constitution, who threw thousands of people who protested against his war policy in jail, closed hundreds of papers and journals who criticized him, deported a sitting member of congress, placed under house arrest supreme court judges who failed to do his bidding and who only freed the slaves in the south (not in the north originally) after slaves took the opportunity afforded them by the civil war to escape to the north and fight against the south in the civil war. Yes I see a great deal of Rick Santorum with the real Abe Lincoln, but little to do with myth of Abe Lincoln that you're talking about.
