Mapping the #Occupy Hate and Violence Around the Country

Big Government   "Our team at the MacIver Institute for Public Policy in Wisconsin have put together this handy interactive map of the violence and hate of the #Occupy movement."


The Occupy movement is inherently violent  "Think Progress has posted a video of Occupy protesters valiantly trying to prevent anarchists from damaging a Whole Foods in Oakland yesterday. They claim the video demonstrates the movement's commitment to non-violence. But judging by that one guy's yellow helmet, it is clear some occupiers anticipated such an incident. If you know your march is going to involve fights over property damage, even if you try and stop it when it happens, you are still responsible for that property damage."....
"The Occupy movement is predicated on the idea of protesters (the 99%) asserting control over something that does not belong to them (Zuccotti Park, McPherson Square, Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza etc.)."

Reports from the Occupy movement

Drudge has these:
From CNS: 'Peaceful' Occupy Protests Degenerate Into Chaos  "About 3,000 people converged on the Port of Oakland, the nation's fifth-busiest harbor, in a nearly five-hour protest Wednesday, swarming the area and blocking exits and streets with illegally parked vehicles and hastily-erected, chain-link fences."
Academia's chickenssssss...are coming hommmme...to ROOST!

American Thinker: 'Stimulate' Oakland  "Maybe Obama should stop referring to these protests as "Occupy" movements and start calling them what he most likely thinks they are: "Stimulate Wall Street", "Stimulate Chicago", "Stimulate Oakland", etc. If Obama gets lucky, maybe before this is all over there will end up being a bridge somewhere that needs rebuilding."  More here.

The "99 Percent" are really the "35 Percent" but their cadres are growing   "By any objective standard, the 99 Percenters are not the brightest bunch, and they really represent the roughly 20 percent of Americans who are irrevocably dependent upon government subsidies and pay no income tax. Thus, this 20 percent has no vested interest in the cost of government and is predisposed to vote for the redistribution of others' incomes rather than work for their own. The underlying assumption is that it's easier to confiscate wealth than create it."....
"For his part, Obama has been clear in his collectivist rhetoric: "[T]he wealthiest Americans have made out like bandits. ... It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." "

From Infidel Bloggers Alliance:  NYPD Officer: Crime, Sexual Assault at #OccupyWallStreet ‘More Widespread Than Even They Think’
  "...however they’re protesting the wrong group. It wasn’t banks who caused the housing meltdown. It wasn’t banks who tanked the economy. It’s the politicians and the special interest money in politics that has destroyed this country. Banks are easy targets. When they set up this protest on the front lawn of the White House, or on the steps of the Capitol, then I’d support it."...

Bruce Thornton: Blame Our Failing Schools for Occupy Wall Street   "Having taught in a state university for thirty years, I’m not surprised by the ignorance on display among the Occupy Wall Street protestors. From kindergarten to university, for decades our schools have abandoned the teaching of basic facts and foundational thinking skills, and replaced both with leftish received wisdom and stale mythologies, all the while they have anxiously monitored and puffed up students’ self-esteem."

Before you speak well of the occupiers, see these pictures

Cross-posted from the Freedom Fighter's JournalEvil Clowns and Radical Ringmasters of the Anti-Capitalist Revolution in Denver
These fools have not a single clue about economics and are merely tools for the anti-capitalist Marxists and communists, both in and out of Congress. Americans are free to choose their own paths and are limited only by their own goals and energies. But rather than take part in the American Dream, they would rather make those who have partaken as miserable as they are.
America deserves so  much more than to be guided by these ignorant fools, pictured so well by this Monty Python bit:

Meanwhile, you need to see this article from the FFJ to understand what all this is about:  Remember in the background somewhere lurk those who hope against hope that violence will break out and I firmly believe that many of them are part of the Obama administration. Why? Because we have seen the credentials of many who were chosen to work with Obama and we see some of them taking part in the occupy movement. 
Here are some excerpts and photos from the article in the Freedom Fighter's Journal:

"Occupy Denver marching with anarcho-syndicalist flag. The red and black flag is a symbol of anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist co-operation, black being the traditional color of anarchism, and red being the traditional color of socialism. Amazingly, these are the building blocks of the Occupy movement, a reality which the mainstream press glosses over as they carry water for the Obama administration and the left in general."


This photo (above)was also taken at noon, and highlights what is so very wrong about the entire Occupy movement. Young runaways, the mentally ill, drug addicts and alcoholics, rapists and child-predators have all been causing problems at Occupy utopias in cities across America.









"Khaddafy-ize, at this point in history, can only be interpreted as meaning “to execute in the street in a brutal fashion.” Here, this man advocates executing the wealthy, the Zionist bankers, the Congress and the Supreme Court, and everybody else in the 1%.
"Anti-semitism has been reported coast to coast at Occupy camps and marches. This is the first significant example I have seen in Denver."

Much, much more at the Freedom Fighter's Journal

DOUGLAS SCHOEN in the WSJ;  In interviews, protesters show that they are leftists out of step with most American voters. Yet Democrats are embracing them anyway..  "Our research shows clearly that the movement doesn't represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence. Half (52%) have participated in a political movement before, virtually all (98%) say they would support civil disobedience to achieve their goals, and nearly one-third (31%) would support violence to advance their agenda." Via theothermccain

The Republicans would be crazy not to tie this movement to the Democrats, but somehow I do not see Mitt Romney doing that. 

Lloyd MarcusIs 'Occupy Movement' the Result of Obama Administration Rhetoric?  "It occurred to me that we have two Americas; a majority which aligns with tea party principles. The second much smaller America is the OWS parasites and Obama administration who embrace a negative view of our great country and a desire to fundamentally transform her."

Source - Rahm Emanuel involved in Cain sexual harassment accuser attacks

Washington Times  "According to a source who is friends with the Cain campaign, not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is likely involved with the sexual harassment accuser attacks. A friend of the Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office."
If this is some shoot-from-the-hip accusation with no substantiation, I can see the end of Herman Cain's candidacy. For his sake, there better be some solid evidence about this. TD

Ann Coulter: Why Our Blacks are Better Than Their Blacks

Ann Coulter  "By spending the last three decades leveling accusations of "racism" every 10 seconds, liberals have made it virtually impossible for Americans to recognize real racism -- for example, the racism constantly spewed at black conservatives.
"In the last year alone, a short list of the things liberals have labeled "racist" include:"
-- Being a Republican;
-- Joining the tea party;
-- The word "the" (Donald Trump's statement that he has a "great relationship with the blacks");
-- References to Barack Obama's playing basketball (Trump again);
-- Using Obama's middle name;
-- Scott Brown's pickup truck;
-- Opposing Obamacare;
-- Opposing Obama's stimulus bill;
-- Opposing Obama's jobs bill.
"The surge in conservative support for Herman Cain confuses the Democrats' story line, which is that Republicans hate Obama because he's black.
"Cain is twice as black as Obama. (Possible Obama campaign slogan: "Too Black!")"

No group in America spews bile like the left

I pity whomever is the next Conservative president for the atmosphere in which he or she will have to preside over this country. One can wonder if this country is indeed governable by a Republican given how their every deed - no matter how well-intentioned- will be vilified by Democrats. The atmosphere has been truly poisoned by words from Obama on back to Ted Kennedy. (I know, we on the right treated the Clinton's with contempt, but that was just because their deeds-like the firing of the White House travel office staff- were so contemptible).
However no party has the resources to vilify opponents like the Democrat Party. Democrats own- in spirit-  the entertainment industry, most of the news networks and newspapers, nearly all of academia and the producers of school textbooks.
Here is a small sample of the bitter water that flows out of the poisonous springs of liberal minds, both racist and political:


Pat Oliphant
Progressives See Racism Where It Isn’t, Ignore It Where It Exists


 Andrew Klavan : The Racism of the Left  "As a result, a huge portion of the country feels, rightly, that they don’t know this man, that he’s been allowed to keep secrets and preserve mysteries as no president in modern times. That’s why they’re obsessed with his records. It’s not right-wing racism. It’s left-wing racism come home to roost."

JAMES TARANTO , WSJ:  Heath Shuler did not hear the "N-word" on March 20, 2010  "Surely there are many like Fang who are predisposed to believe the tea-party movement is racist. It is far from implausible to suggest that politicians might say things that are untrue in order to pander to the prejudices of their followers."

Ann Coulter, as usual nails it:  "All we learned [about Herman Cain]was: About a decade ago, as many as two anonymous women accused Cain of making unspecified "inappropriate" remarks and one "inappropriate" gesture in the workplace. (We had more than that on John Edwards' mistress a year into the media's refusal to report that story.)
"If the details helped liberals, we'd have the details." From this week's column to be posted elsewhere in the TW.

Student union leader pulls out of speaking at fees rally after protesters hurl anti Jewish abuse at him  London, March 2011

Recommended article: DiscoverTheNetworks.orgLiberal Racism  "Liberal racism can be seen, paradoxically, most clearly in the way anyone straying from its premises is immediately branded as a “racist.” This is a powerful sanction that liberal racists use like a bludgeon to control the public discussion about race."   

Obama’s Target List

Victor Davis Hanson  "Yet lecturing, demonizing, and caricaturing are not just symptoms of narcissism or being socially dense, but are also a revelation that Obama feels that he can say almost anything he wants, with the expectation — always borne out in the past — of few consequences. .... Note as well that while almost everyone else is culpable, the president himself rarely is — at least not as much as ATM machines, George W. Bush, tsunamis, the European Union, the nine-month-old Republican-controlled House, the Arab Spring, and skyrocketing oil prices. Others err; but the president has made all “the right choices.”
"Here is a tiny sampling of those who have been on the receiving end of the president’s disdain:" More...

Israel against the World. As usual.

Judge Richard Goldstone’s Mea Culpa, in the Pages of the New York Times!  Judge Richard Goldstone has done great harm to Israel. The Goldstone Report, as many writers on this website have documented in the past few years, has been used by Israel haters around the world as the main weapon in the campaign to delegitimize Israel.....
"But this morning, readers of the New York Times were stunned to find a new op-ed by Goldstone, which not only is a personal mea culpa of the most dramatic sort, but one that blasts one of the major arguments regularly engaged in by the hate-Israel Left, especially the reprehensible Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and former President Jimmy Carter. Titled “Israel and the Apartheid Slander,” the judge, in effect, also answers the approach regularly taken by the editors of the paper in which his article appears."
....
"As Tom Gross has noted on his own blog, Goldstone’s op-ed is a direct repudiation as well of so-called human rights groups that spend all of their time criticizing Israel while avoiding any condemnation of Arab violations of human rights, and of groups like Israel’s B’Teselem, whose director Jessica Montell has said that Israel is “worse than apartheid in South Africa.” "  More...

Sorry about that, Israel. Really.

Conservative cartoonist's takes on Republican candidates

Why must we always have to settle for mediocre candidates from Bob Dole to Bush 1 to John McCain on to our top tier leaders of 2011? Is there nobody with that fire burning inside them that can match that of those voters furious at  what Obama and the Democrats are doing to this nation? Which candidate has a passion to undo the socialism and the regulatory stranglehold on our private enterprise inflicted by Pelosi-Obama?
We want someone who will truly undo the damage done, not a bureaucrat who will merely take America as Obama has left it and manage the status quo.
Apparently these cartoonists are unimpressed with Republican candidates as well...

"To cherish and stimulate the activity of the human mind, by multiplying the objects of enterprise, is not among the least considerable of the expedients, by which the wealth of a nation may be promoted." --Alexander Hamilton

The Patriot Post 
"Obama's ceaseless attack on the 'rich' and his effort to divide Americans on the basis of their income and wealth can best be seen as a diversion, an attempt to distract Americans' attention from his failure to address our interrelated economic malaise and fiscal crises. ... Obama blames the rich for problems he's causing, despite the absence of causal relationship between the distribution of our national income and wealth and the economic and debt problems we face. Why? Simply because that's what demagogic community-organizing, Marxist-leaning Alinsky disciples do -- and it's disgraceful."  --columnist David Limbaugh

Liberated Libya: Al Qaeda Flag Aloft Benghazi’s Courthouse

Big Peace
…one can now see both the Libyan rebel flag and the flag of al Qaeda fluttering atop Benghazi’s courthouse. According to one Benghazi resident, Islamists driving brand-new SUVs and waving the black al Qaeda flag drive the city’s streets at night shouting, “Islamiya, Islamiya! No East, nor West,” a reference to previous worries that the country would be bifurcated between Gaddafi opponents in the east and the pro-Gaddafi elements in the west.
....When I again engaged him in conversation, he told me “this flag is the true flag of Islam”….
Not just with the Libyan flag...above it!

You're a grand old (al Qaeda) flag
"I think that it was just lovely the way Qadaffi met his end in a sharp pointed way. He was a mass-murdering, terrorist, lunatic scumbag and deserved even worse than he got. But before we go handing out more Nobel Peace Prizes for this, let's look at just who we were supporting and who now will likely replace him.....that's right our good friends and global do-gooders al Qaeda. Here is a pic that the NY Times used to illustrate a story while somehow managing to miss the fact that the flags are not for the Islamic peace and kindness party, but for those pillars of freedom and democracy best known for suicide bombings, slitting throats and honor killings of women they rape.
....
"Now I am sure it is way too much work for the NYT or any others ito recall that the region of Libya responsible for Qadaffi's hemorrhoid removal also provided the most imported foreign jihadis to Iraq. Nope they are too busy lionizing that intrepid foreign policy genius Barack of Arabia to remember that we supported a bunch of folks with American blood dripping from their beards.
"But hey, he got bin Laden right? How do I know that will show up in a campaign commercial? Oh that's right because professional weasels David(s) Axelrod and Plouffe have already trotted it out."   Posted by Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive

Blame the Predecessor, Not the Ideology: A Historical Leftist Tactic

PJ Media  I witnessed this strategy in the Soviet Union, and now I see it at Occupy Wall Street. It always fails. Ion Mihai Pacepa  "Instead of pulling up their socks and encouraging the production — not redistribution — of wealth, the leaders of the Democrat-run White House and U.S. Senate blamed former president George W. Bush for the current economic calamity. No American really bought it. So then the Democrats blamed the Japanese tsunami. No more luck. Blaming the Arab Spring and the European economic crisis did not do the trick either. Now the Democrats are blaming Wall Street — whatever that means — and America’s rich. They are the real evil. They are sucking the people’s blood, wrecking America.
"In the sanctum sanctorum of the former Soviet empire, to which I once belonged, finding a scapegoat for the mistakes of a country’s leader was called “political necrophagy.” Although Marxism proclaimed the deciding role in history to be played by “the people,” the Marxists sitting on the Kremlin throne believed that only the leader counted. From the lips of Khrushchev himself, I used to hear over and over: “Change the public image of the leader, and you change history.” "  Emphasis added.

Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is the highest official who has ever defected from the Soviet bloc. In 1989 Romanian tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu was executed at the end of a trial whose main accusations came out of Pacepa's book Red Horizons...
