But the extremist rhetoric in the comments of the linked post certainly doesn't do those hoping to make Occupy look bad any favors. We'll agree to disagree, but I think it's much easier to find extremist-right wingers than extremist-left wingers in this country.
Self defeating. This is exactly what most of those who truly care about the movement understand and why they're so careful to distance themselves.

And just so we don't forget about the violence from the Tea Party movement:

How about that awful head-stomping incident at the Rand Paul event by an employee of Paul. if you haven't seen the graphic video, you should. It's exceedingly disturbing: Head Stomp Victim: Paul Supporters Planned It - CBS News

And they're not illegal, sure, but I'd sure think twice before including myself with any group proudly holding signs like some of the below:

There sure is a lot vile and hatred going on in this country. I guess one's perception of who spews the most depends on what team they cheer for. If you are for government and regulation, you hate team a, and if you are for rugged individualism you hate team b. Basically the young and the urban against the middle-age with kids/suburban and the old.

Compilation: 40 Examples of OWS Violence, Perversion, and Anti-semitism (With Pictures, Videos)

Posted by Aurelius at 1:54 PM Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook




Occupy Wall Street is one of the most egregiously immoral "movements" in the past several decades. Reports of rape, violence, public masturbation, and rabid antisemitism define OWS. These crimes and hatred are not isolated incidents, despite the lies that have been promoted in the Main Stream Media. To prove this point, I have compiled 40 examples in picture, video, and article form beneath.

OWS and its supporters can deny the truth, but we (the true 99%) will not.

Examples of perversion/perverted public acts:

Woman raped by Occupy Cleveland Protester: http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2011/10/18/occupy-cleveland-protester-alleges-she-was-raped/

Fourteen-year-old statutory-raped at Occupy Dallas by several men: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/10/24/accusations-of-teen-runaway-sexual-activity-at-occupy-dallas/

I think, given your complete lack of desire to have a genuine conversation that has anything to do with St. Louis, this thread should be locked. Take it to P&OC. I was being civil; you're incapable of that apparently.

Huh? You're the one who insisted on proving how violent the Tea Party is (in your view) with links to incidents that have nothing to do with St. Louis?

I respond in kind and I'm the one being uncivil?

Ok, I see your list and will call you the following, not because I think it will change your or anyones mind, but only to reiterate my earlier point about loons and violent nut jobs being plentiful on the right too:

A Guide to Terrorism in America
Terrorism in America

<snip>

1980s: Right Wing Terrorism on the Rise

The radicalism of the 1960s and 1970s was followed by the conservatism of the Reagan era, in mainstream America. Political violence too, took a turn to the right. In the 1980s, white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups such as Aryan Nation saw a resurgence, often among working class white males, who perceived themselves as displaced by women, African Americans, Jews, and immigrants who benefited from new civil rights legislation.

Terrorism in the name of Christianity also surged in the 1980s and 1990s. Radical groups and individuals committed to violent action to stop abortion were among the most visible. Michael Bray, head of a group called the Army of God spent four years in prison for his abortion clinic bombings in the 1980s.

In 1999, the most lethal act of domestic violence to date occurred when Timothy McVeigh bombed the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. McVeigh's stated motivation--revenge against a federal government that he viewed as intrusive and oppressive, was an extreme version of more mainstream desire among many for a smaller government. Dean Harvey Hicks, a citizen angry over his taxes, for example, created the one-man terrorist group "Up the IRS, Inc." and tried to bomb IRS locations.

Byron Williams attack follows numerous right-wing terrorism incidents in recent years
October 11, 2010 7:16 am ET — 3 Comments

As journalist John Hamilton wrote, Byron Williams was arrested after he allegedly opened fire on California Highway Patrol officers. Williams reportedly told investigators that "his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU." Williams' alleged actions follow numerous right-wing terrorism attacks in past years.

he Domestic Terrorism of America's Right Wing
Posted by Dominic Holden on Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 8:36 AM

The Buffalo News reports on the fourth case of vandalism—domestic terrorism, if you will—of Democratic offices:

The window broken Friday at the Niagara Falls office of Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, D-Fairport, was one of at least four cases of vandalism targeting Democratic offices across the country late last week during the debate over health care reform.

A window was also broken at the Monroe County Democratic headquarters in Rochester. In Tuscon, Ariz., a window at the office of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords also was broken. And at Democratic headquarters in Sedgewick County, Kan., a brick with anti-Obama and anti-health care messages was thrown.

In the South, militia man and organizer for the right Mike Vanderboeghsays that the bricks are simply an alternative to rifles:

"We can break their windows,” he said. “Break them NOW. And if we do a proper job, if we break the windows of hundreds, thousands, of Democrat party headquarters across this country, we might just wake up enough of them to make defending ourselves at the muzzle of a rifle unnecessary.”

But it sounds like the head of the Republican Party is ready to put Nancy Pelosi in front of a one of those rifles:
