President Obama's friends at Occupy Wall Street are out of control. I just watched the video of the attack by Occupy DC on the various people trying to attend the dinner held in DC for Americans for Prosperity. I realize that the AFP/Tea Party position on most issues is quite different from that held by many of the far left who are part of the Occupy movement, but that is no justification for violence. Indeed, the contrast between the Tea Party and the Occupy movement is quite striking. The big "outrage" about which the media blew a gasket when the Tea Party supposedly perpetrated it was that participants in a demonstration outside the Capitol in DC spit on a black Congressman and called him the N word. Of course, there was no video of the supposed outrage even though the congressman was accompanied by many cameras. Indeed, there were no witnesses to the event who came forward; there were only rumors and unsubstantiated claims. On the other hand, with this latest attack by the Occupy movement there is ample video of these thugs pushing two elderly women down a flight of stairs. Both women were injured while the Occupy crowd chanted that it was their own fault for daring to attend the AFP dinner. In the various Occupy movement sites, there have been rapes, beatings, and other manners of crimes. We have seen death, destruction of property and much more from the thugs at the Occupy movement. Nevertheless, the amount of media coverage for all of these acts together is nowhere near the coverage that the supposed act of some Tea Party person who allegedly spat on a congressman generated.
One has to wonder how the media can be so one-sided. Nevertheless, the truth is getting out there since the liberal media no longer controls the news like it used to. The word is getting out just who the Occupy folks are and just what they are doing. I think that president Obama and top Democrats like Pelosi and Reid are going to rue the day that they made clear their support for Occupy Wall Street.
