Confronting the Malefactors is an opinion piece from Paul Krugman.

With unions and a growing number of Democrats now expressing at least qualified support for the protesters, Occupy Wall Street is starting to look like an important event that might even eventually be seen as a turning point.

What can we say about the protests? First things first: The protesters’ indictment of Wall Street as a destructive force, economically and politically, is completely right.

I wonder if Paul Krugman saying this is enough to refute the people who have been saying that the protesters are idiotic.
