Just like I can't make that same assertion about you either but that's not the topic of this thread and never was.

It seems like every day we get a new video of something happening at an OWS protest that shows extremely bad judgement and illegal activity by OWS supporters. We've all ready the reports of people being raped in tents by strangers, people ranting against Jews, people stealing expensive electronics, people hurling rocks and bottles at police, people ignoring laws which are meant to protect public property, people defacing public property, etc etc etc. Why do liberals automatically attempt to make it seem like those are non-existent instances that in no way represent the OWS movement as a whole but the minute you saw someone holding a sign at a Tea Party protest with a photo of Obama with a bone in his nose you instantly labeled every single person who's ever even thought about supporting the Tea Party a racist bigot?

Please explain this gross lack of logic on the part of liberals, especially those here on CD. To me it seems pretty clear that you're now dealing with the exact same treatment you dished out to the Tea Party supporters and you don't like it one bit...

Before you go crazy and attack me personally because you don't like my message, please save your time.

If you intend to deny that these things have taken place at OWS events all over this country, please don't waste your time in here because I'll start posting video after video that proves you wrong.
No matter what side of the fence you look at, there will always be people who shine the spotlight on the extreme. You're doing it right now, with this post.

Sure, some of the TP's are racists.

Some of the OWS crowd are everything from communists to rapists.


That's called people. Yep, people are different, no matter where they choose to congregate or what they choose to agree on.

*yawn* nothing to see here.

This isn't about making fun of anyone, this is accusing an entire huge group of people of being racists... big difference and you know it but will act like you don't.

I'm defending them because I'm part of the group which has been attacked here numerous times for things that just a couple individuals did or said.

It's a logical fallacy in both cases.

How convenient that now people call it wrong in both cases.

So your problem is with the media then.

Ok, tell ya what. I'll join your quest to cleanse the media of liberal bias when you can make Sean Hannity into a human being.

It's everywhere. Change the channel.

Yes, my problem is with the media, and its progressive clients. Sean Hannity is a political commentator. He doesn't pretend to be unbiased as the so call Fourth Estate () does.

The Left had the mainstream media on its side while it smeared the Tea Party and other conservatives and libertarians; now they are whining because alternative media and citizen media......with far less resources, is giving back some of what they gave in spades.

No no no.

Sean Hannity represents Fox news. Then comes Glenn Beck and the rest of the RWNJ's puking on my airwaves.

Aside from that, don't you get that it's all a big scam? The liberal programming doesn't come from "liberals". It comes from corporations. Makes people soft. Tolerant. Passive. .......hmmm progressive?

It's about making you swallow the pounds and pounds of feces fed to us by big business and our government on a daily basis. It's not necessarily a conspiracy. It's the status quo

Mainstream Media is not liberally biased. First and foremost, they protect the interests of those that own them. If you want to read stories that Corporately owned networks won't report on, go to DemocracyNow.com

The Media reports only on the radicals of both The Tea Party and OWS. If these two ever joined forces, the media and Government would be in a frenzy. For the time being they are content at playing the two sides against one another.

You're either being intentionally dishonest, or you're ignorant of the facts.
