The irony is that the guy who shouted out had been out of a job for a year and a half. The system that put him and millions of others out of work is the one that (arguably) democrats try to soften the edges of.

He, like tens of millions of others, got on the teagagger bandwagon without really looking to see who was on his side. He's trying to deal with cognitive dissonance as he watches his congresscritters vote to keep him out of work. He's blaming Elizabeth Warren because Faux Entertainment told him to, and Faux Entertainment told him to because the Koch brothers paid them to.

He should be in OWS. But he's been brainwashed until he doesn't even know what side he should be on, which side is doing and will continue to do all it can to make more jobs.

You can lead a horse to water, but the average IQ is 100. Sorry for the mixed simile.

I agree with your take on it. It is a shame though when the cow ends up loving the butcher and thinks it's her savior come to the rescue.

Socialist whore, or.......

OWS protestor pushes cop in front of a moving bus :hmmm:

http://www.breitbart.tv/this-is-what-pe ... oving-bus/
One man is accused of shoving a police sergeant into a moving Trimet bus before running back into the crowd. After the march ended, officers found the suspect and arrested him. David Burgess, 30, faces charges of assaulting a public safety officer, interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct and harassment. The sergeant suffered only minor injuries and did not need medical attention.

A bit of free advice: never trust information provided by Andrew Breitbart.

I have to say that it looks like it's real:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/inde ... rch_u.html

I know folks in Portland who were in the Iraq War marches, and the cops were exemplary- several muggers/pickpockets were arrested inside the crowds with marchers assisting, and there were only a few instances of unruly behavior, and the folks engaging in it were shunned by the marchers. It went pretty well on both sides, and that doesn't surprise me having hung around downtown Portland a fair bit.

Folks are a little testy right now. I'd say it's a good idea to let 'em march and figure out what they're gonna do come June and then come next November. The cops are, after all, unionized.

So Breitbart's not lying.

Oh, I agree. Generally speaking though, one should not implicitly trust anything on his website for accuracy or completeness of information. Sure, all news is edited and filtered for public consumption, but Breitbart has an agenda before the news even gets to him. And he's shown how untrustworthy he is in the past, several times over.

It's not a news site. It's a partisan out-to-get-the-other-guys site. I'd be similarly suspicious of overtly partisan news sources on the left.

What's the subject? Inappropriate anti-government behavior? Or is it just pick on the people you imagine to be tea baggers :hmmm:

The biggest bias is what to report on. And when bias and suppression occur, generally that's where. Having many sources is a defense in depth against that. It's why I look both at the Pak Daily Times and Dawn, and always check the India Times too.

Doubtful. Her heart may be in the right place, but her advocacy of tighter lending standards at the FDIC played a large part in helping push unemployment up from 8% to 10%.

Of course, given the smear ads in Massachusetts that are starting to be directed against Brown, who will be her general election opponent, I'm not certain her heart is in the right place either.

To a law professor. A very senior law professor, in fact, and a woman. I see no difference between this and a Republican Teagagger calling Obama a "nigger." None at all. And this, to me, is who the Republican Teagaggers are. This is who they want me to think they are. Because otherwise, they wouldn't show up at public meetings and call women who are running for the US Senate "whores."

Read all about it. Linked article includes links to video and an eyewitness reporter account.
What is this fantasy land that you live in? Are you blind or just ignorant of how the Left conducts it's self.
So let me get this straight because some people on the left act like tools it absolves the right from any responsibility to act civilly. :think:

Perhaps not. I guess you should really expect idiots in the left as par for the course, but they're unusual and thus noteworthy in the Tea Party.
