Excuse the hyperbolic flamey subject line but that is exactly what the RW is screaming at the top of their internet lungs.

http://mediamatters.org/research/201111170007But that won't matter because now there's a video of Occupy San Diego having a moment of Silence in Solidarity for the White House shooter.
Is it true? Is it missing some context I couldn't see? I don't know. I wasn't at San Diego to see it. I have only the right wing's account to go by.
Yeah after video of Shirley Sherrod saying she refused to help white people and Acorn helping pimps of child prostitutes, I am obviously skeptical of a video that only seems to be on right wing bligs and Faux News.
But I wasn't there at San Diego. I cant' find the whole video to see any missing context and blanket cynicism isn't a good counter argument.
I have refrained from giving advice to the Occupy moment. They have people giving them advice out the wazoo.
BUT this was inevitable. We all knew the right wing would use video to demonize the Occupiers. The right does this to all their enemies. (hell sometimes the evidence is even true) And if they did it again here. there needs to be a way to counter it or else Occupy might as well go home
