Majority Leader Eric Cantor today described the Occupy Wall Street protesters as “growing mobs,” in some of the sharpest criticism yet from a one of the highest-ranking Republican leaders in the House.
“I am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and other cities across our country,” the Virginia congressman said in Washington this morning.

...Tea Party Patriots.

Real angry Americans = Angry Mobs.

Rinse, repeat.

See...that's how it's done...

Well, I'll be hoping that a real mob comes after Cantor, so he will learn the difference.

He only wishes it were a mob, because then he could drone them...

Keep it up!

K&R.

That they might take you away from the Winter Palace?

Royalists always fear that.

made to Scott Walker R-Gove of WI (where Schulz pretended to be one of the Koch brothers) wherein Walker readily admitted that he was going to have some fake
protesters go in and cause trouble to make it look like the protest wasn't truly peaceful.
We are a peaceful protest--we are angry and justifiably so, but not violent.
I just hope to God that Cantor and his ilk don't try to make our movement look like anything other than it really is......the heart and soul of America speaking out for what is right!

Welcome to DU but PLEASE get your facts right before posting. Ed Schultz had nothing to do with that prank call, unless reporting it constitutes direct involvement. If so, then many, many in the 4th estate called Scott Walker.

Oh, and screw you Cantor. Your position is tenuous as well.

towards me though which is completely unnecessary (and a mistake on your part)

That's never, ever my intention. I feel awful now. :(

You're post was innocuous as I recall (I clicked thru my DU to the post I now respond to; I haven't gone back and looked at your original post since, but I don't recall you saying anything that would make me upset with you. I am sincerely sorry for coming across that way, and for any offense I caused. My bad. And you're right - my mistake.

consider posts on DU such as this to be just friendly and conversive, so that is why the big "PLEASE (in caps) get your facts straight felt harsh to me. If I were researching an article for publication I would have been careful, but my post was a random comment made over my morning coffee. It just doesn't make for a friendly online environment--just a simple that was Ian Murphy would have been enough IMHO
I will have to look up the blogger Ian Murphy. That is really cool that he did that.....I wonder what made me think that it had anything to do with Ed Schultz (sp?)--perhaps it was Ed that aired the fake call to Gov. Walker. oh well. lol


Thanks for the DU welcome. I appreciate it. As a life long Dem it is nice to have a place where there is so much important info in one place.

Take good care

Seriously, my statement about getting facts straight was good and honest advice without any snark behind it. And I stand by my welcome to DU too. ;)

I mean after all, the banksters are terrified.

to not cover this. Not only do their corporate masters forbid it, they don't want to look like they were asleep at the switch when the revolution started. The Revolution will not be televised.

come step up and getcher pitchforks and torches right here.

You smug, asshole, son-of-a-bitch...

Of all the assholes in Congress, its quite an achievement to be the worst of the bunch, but here we are...winner, winner, Chicken dinner!

Lots and lots and lots of voters.

If you aren't one of the elite 1% - no voting for you! That's their sick mantra and he's just one more "master" trying to keep the slaves down on the farm and not getting uppity and going to places where "nice" folks (aka 1%ers) work.

He's such a prick. It's okay only if it's the IndieTeapublicans eh?

If you look at the footage of a tea party rally on the Hill, you see Boehner standing behind, for instance, Jon Voight.

They were. Only when it's progressives is it a 'mob'.

You know it will happen.

It's been happening since the '60s.

And they want this stopped.

Now.

as they can just wire it to him, kinda like how they do with their orders on what to vote for or what to oppose.

by any peaceful means necessary.

He won't be able to get paid for helping to cause widespread misery to others anymore if we are successful.

“I am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and other cities across our country,” ~Eric Cantor

"You should be.. you treasonous bastard." ~The Citizens of the United States

Clash of the conservative rhetoric, LOL, they idolize mobs except when they don't.

Now here is one Dick head who blows smoke up the Presses Ass but has never been there or ask any of these folks why they are there..
In fact not one person from our Congress or this Administration has showed up to even ask questions of these Americans who are sick and tired of the Bullshit...
This is the people of America getting organized...
Corporate, The Media, or this Administration who have not done anything to save Middle America.... Demonizing anyone in their way..
Thats why the Media and officials all are bad mouthing this movement by the People..

Eric Cantor running scared. . .excellent!! Let's keep him on the run. Please everyone participate in or create an Occupy in your city. I also caution about provocateurs intent on changing the tenor of our peaceful assemblies.:thumbsup:

fact that ABC quotes him only serves to demonstrate how irrelevant the MSM has become.

The rich are too greedy for their own good; if they get eaten, it's their own damn fault.

"Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble."

Of all these bastards, I hate Cantor the most, even more than the completely odious Ryan. Cantor is just a little yipping dog, period. He clearly hates this country and its citizens as he proves every time he opens his mouth.

I was talking with my buddy the other day (a non-religious Jew) and was telling him Cantor really is a disgrace to his people. Given the rich history of social justice the Jewish people have fought for (forever basically), Cantor is clearly a complete embarrassment. Of course, he'd be the same way of he was a phony Christian too, so his evil would be evident no matter what religion he hung his hat on.

A horrid little pisher. What kind of fucking losers would vote for this loser?

He better watch put for the "mobs," as they clearly have his name on their list of pricks who need to go back into the filthy little assholes they crawled out of.

we see you and your compatriots as a "mob" operation - squeazing "protection" money out of the rest of us on behalf of your corporate dons. And we ain't backin' down either. Tuff Stuff! :mad:

to get rid of this creep next election.

Mr Cantor looks like someone straight out of Murder Inc.

nt

for democracy. When it happens in the US the Republicans and Tea Party crowd call them a mob.

Which is why I cant WAIT for Obama, Reid and Pelosi to hand Cantor his hat on this one!

I cant wait to hear them tear him a new one and express direct support for these protests, just like when they stood up for Egyptians.

Wow- Biden compares them to the Tea Party (who were never a mob)- what a compliment!!!!

I still say Ann Coulter's new book was
suspiciously well timed. They knew what was
coming, and they are trying to get public support
for a huge, coordinated crackdown of some kind!

when Cantor's ugly face gets stomped.

if Corp America didn't shake loose with some decently paying jobs.

So here it is.

dumbfuck.

of human garbage that is destroying this country and that they have united to clean up".
"That stinking asshole should be really concerned", they added.

frikking bottom-feeding elitist sociopathic scum,
dripping greed & venom from every pore.
time for you & your ilk to go the way of the large Saurians.

.....be concerned.....be very concerned....about law abiding Americans exercising their First Amendment Rights.

....a 'growing mob' right here, cantor, you little fascist worm....enjoy while you can, next year you'll be joining the 'growing mobs' in the unemployment line....

When they appear then you have a mob, Eric. I think
the OWS persons will be content just to throw your ass
out of Congress with the rest of your empty suit companions.
