How did you hear about it,then?

I heard about the incident on CNN.

Are they not 'the media'?

Oh, they might report it once a twice in a cycle, but if this were a TP rally, you can bet the bank it would get hourly coverage.

Oh, 'scuse me, I got his title wrong. They are all a bag of nuts, to me.

I would also speculate they are opposed to the institutions deemed to large to fail during the last crisis remaining to large to fail.

He's on public property. Why not let him a least present his case.


I don't like what I hear out of groups like CP USA, Westboro and the like but they have a right to voice their opinions.

I shudder when I see or hear of college students getting very selective on who they'll "allow" to speak on a campus.

Whether they should have let him speak or not, that was strange behavior.

Most? Most don't know anything. They just follow our leaders.

Government should NEVER bail out a business.

What a bunch of ignorant, racist loons.

I feel like I need to wash my brain out after seeing that. That's some North Korea style insanity right there.

First 0bama illustrated to the entire country how disastrous liberal policies are, when liberal democrats own the presidency and both houses of congress. Now the OWS crowd is illustrating just who and what the liberal base actually is.
