Idiots put all their links in an image, so you can't click on them and read the reports for yourself... hmm, I wonder why?? Oh, it's because there were no reported murders in the links! And no reported rapes in the links! Lesser events? Yes, a few. Completely unrelated events? Why, yes, several!

Here, for your reading pleasure, are all the links the right-wing crypto-fascist zombie airheads can come up with to marginalize the "dirty hippies" on the lawn:

Links originally from Pundit Press:

From Oregon Live: Primarily about a man who showed up at Occupy Portland, dismissed it as "an eyesore" and criticized its "lack of cohesion", and was arrested within days for starting fires. Also includes a few other accounts of minor drug posession, disorderly conduct, a weapons charge, and arrests of people for charges unrelated to the Occupy camp. Occupy Portland had a problem from near the beginning with homeless people joining the camp, and there were no services from the city or state to help them.

From Denver Post: A man who made an impassioned speech in favor of the Occupy Fort Collins camp was arrested as a suspect in an ENTIRELY UNRELATED arson charge.

From Gawker: A military veteran died of a self-inflicted gunshot, and the city used it as an excuse to halt all camping.

From Fox News: A "rash" of reports that consists of 1 accusation of sexual abuse and 1 accusation of sexual assault in Zuccotti park, 1 accusation of sex with a minor in Dallas, and 1 alleged sexual assault in Cleveland. Fox inflates this to "nearly a half-dozen" reports. The article also includes a number of unsubstantiated rumors of destructive behavior by Occupy protestors in various locations around the country.

From Komo News: A man accused of indecent exposure (completely unrelated to the Occupy movement) is arrested when spotted taking part in an Occupy Seattle protest.

From Redstate: Blantaly right-wing opinion piece which includes a number of links purportedly supporting the premise that the Occupy movement is full of criminals. The very first link is about the police entrapment on the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the links is the above piece from Komo News about an unrelated exposure charge. And another is about how Iran supports the Occupy movement (fear the boogeyman!).

From Reuters: This article is about the man shot by Berkeley police in a computer lab at UC Berkeley. No ties to the Occupy movement at all. But the Occupy protest was nearby, so it must be related, right???

From ABC News: A man is arrested for firing an assault rifle at the White House. He "may have spent time with Occupy D.C. protesters."

From The Daily Cardinal: Link broken; defaults to University of Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal homepage.

From New York Post: Article is about theives preying on the lack of security at the Occupy camp. Apparently all that police overtime is really helping...

So! All these articles, and they amount to... a few isolated issues that don't nearly account for all the numbers posted, and a couple of them are for unrelated charges where the person might have been caught in or near an Occupy event.

My overall analysis: Aside from QM being full of shit as usual, it's time to let the camps go. They made a splash, but now they are just being used as fodder for the right wing lie-machines. There are just too many unrelated crazies that come to the camps and interfere with the message. It's time to Occupy the polls, and put the energy into publicly supported legislation.

Man, I gotta tell you quantum, life must be hard with you spending your days rolled up in a ball of seething hatred.

I totally agree that the OWS movement was dealing with an undesirable element within their ranks but I don't think that we should be tainting the intent of the entire thing because of it. Just as I feel that it is wrong to persecute everyone who wears an expensive suit as being a heartless corporate swindler. If you remember the Tea Party had their own undesirables showing off swastikas and spouting racial and religious hatreds.

One thing that I would like to point out about the comparison between the Tea Party rallys and the OWS protests is that on one side they were organized and supported financially by corporate and political interests to the extent of even being bussed in to the locations and the other is a barely held together movement with no obvious leaders or focal point with little support or backing from anyone but a few wealthy sympathizers.

I dislike all protests and civil unrest in general but I can see how some people might feel it necessary. Sadly, in the end it always seems to come down to a bunch of people just like quantumushroom on both sides of the argument hating each other, neither side willing to walk a mile in the other man's shoes.

Public Agrees With Court: Campaign Money Is "Free Speech"

I reject your sanitized version of protestors, Reich. Drug use, rapes, murders and random deaths are in every camp, all the attendant chaos one would expect when socialists, anarchists, code pink commies and feed-the-flames libmedia descend anywhere. These protestors are not even 1% of the 99%.

Yeah, remember that San Franciscans have different forms of protest than over in New York. Code Pink, etc. My favorite was PIES FOR YOUR LIES, this was definitely for real.

@Yogi

The countless culture war protests in the US each year that are oriented toward the left-most or right-most portions of society, such as Code Pink or the one we're talking about in this video, don't generally change mainstream peoples' opinions unless they can expand beyond their far-left or far-right base.

As worded, this is almost by definition true (how could it not be true?), but it's useful to note because Mcgovern's protests don't appear to be making progress within that framework.

Okay, I'll throw my testicles into the ring. First, Amanda Marcotte is a staunch feminist and modern liberal. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's important to note when considering the source of the above article. Not sure why DFT is posting it here as if it was anything but a biased article.

Second, I like how NetRunner tried to completely disqualify GeeSussFreeK's comment by pointing out I'm not part of the national media. That was classic. Apparently NR has never heard of BNN. It's only the smallest national news outlet in all the world.

Third, and most importantly, why does the Democratic fight against "privatization" take precedence over their fight against the civil rights violations? Honestly this comes back to bipartisanship. Going along with the party and all that.

The truth is the TSA is under the purview of the Obama Administration so it opens this entire discourse up to bipartisan rhetoric, and that's all we're seeing here with NR and DFT. I believe if the porno-scanners and the enhanced gate rape pat downs were implemented under the McCain Administration (shudder) then the Republicans would be saying the exact same shit the Democrats are saying now, "These are the times we live in" and "The number one priority is safety" and so on.

And the Democrats would be in the streets protesting them for their civil rights violations. What hypocrisy. Where are our civil liberties loving Democrats? Oh, that's right, they're too busy defending their saintly leader to fight the good fight. Maybe later when a Republican gets in office we'll see the "Party of Peace" rear their pretty Code Pink faces again. Wouldn't that be something?

Wow. John Stewart is just showing himself to be an ornery old man here. He is actually wrong. Maddow is not the enemy, and neither is MSNBC. While I can't really hondestly say I am surprised by how equivocal and conservative he is being, it is disturbing. The tea party is NOT equivalent to a woman shouting war criminal on stage. His rhetoric is becoming knee-jerk and obnoxiously socratic: "But do you think MSNBC was AS dismissive to the tea party as it was to the woman screaming on the stage?" C'mon John...


How did you just watch and listen to Jon speak for the better part of an hour and not hear anything he said?

His point, as stated over and over, is not Code Pink ~= Tea Party, it's that the behavior they're (in)famous for is polarizing and stops or prevents any sort of discussion.

At least I understand code pink, a bunch of women against the wars.
This, whatever this is, is just a bunch of flag sucking ugly Americans.

And on MLK day ? Really ? Why not just lynch some people ?
That's so fucking racist.
Fuck you.
You fucking cancer.

If I get angst and need some existential reassurance I cry to MLK's last speech usually around dawn.

/flame on
/fuck you all
/yes, goverment sucks, but what YOU ARE DOING RIGHT THERE IS WRONG.

They damned themselves?

Should have interviewed Code Pink...

Here, I'll change it a little bit to appease the nazis, maybe you people can go out and hold a Code Pink rally or something now.

If you'd like to tell me what powerful financial interests funded Code Pink or ANSWER

Ever hear of a rather well-to-do guy going by the name of George Soros? Believe it when I say that Dick Armey has got nothing on Soros when it comes to putting his fingers in the political pie. But this is America. Anyone who wants can support whatever cause they wish, and they don't need to justify themselves to you or me. We haven't yet come to a point of intolerance where supporting a cause is a crime, have we? Hypocrisy? Pht - he's a politician. That means he's a liar, a hypocrite, and a cheat. What of it? The same applies to Obama, Pelosi, Ried, and every other politician in Washington.
