"Heigh ho, heigh ho. It's off to jail we go."
In startling contrast to the Tea Party rallies, the losers and know-nothings protesting against Wall Steet in New York scuffled with police yesterday and more arrests were made. Meanwhile, the dead-enders at MSNBC flocked to the demonstration to lend their support.

Last night, Ed "Butter and Egg Man" Schultz took his dopey Ed Show to the site of the protests to try and do his talking head routine over the shouts and chants of the mopes behind him. Ed is under the illusion that he is covering a great national movement here.
Well, I guess it beats having to talk about Solyndra and Fast and Furious if you're a liberal. Seems to me that Solyndra should tie right in with crony capitalism, right? How many signs did you see that mention Solyndra? In spite of that, the MSNBC mad-hatters are still trying to put a definition to the protests as they tell us that the unions are now jumping into the fray.
Last night, Ed was interviewing a couple of heavies from something called the Amalgamated Transit Union, one of whom was heavy to the tune of about 400 pounds (right out of central casting). Also noted in the crowd were some folks walking around with those Palestinian keffiyas, you know, those scarves with the black and white doo-dads. Solidarity, you know.
Also stressed by Ed et al is the claim that universities all over the nation are walking out, in many cases led by Pied Piper professors unhappy with their working conditions. I guess I'll have to keep a look-out at UC Irvine for some strange guy who shows up on campus with a bullhorn and starts leading the tiny minority of discontented students around Ring Road.
"What do we want?"
"I don't know. What do we want?"
This mob is the face of the Democratic Party! Incoherent, Illogical, Needy, Dependent, etc.
ReplyDeleteOne constituency that was absent were the blacks. In the video of perhaps hundreds and hundreds of protesters I saw only one, maybe two blacks. The liberals claimed the Tea Party was Racist because they didn't have blacks at the Tea Parties.
I've been to several Tea Parties and there were plenty of black people there and, as a matter of fact, one of the speakers was a black women.
Compare and contrast this mob with the Tea Party:
The Tea Party is coherent. They oppose big government, high taxes, and above all ObamaCare. The mob (seems to) oppose "corporations" and they want jobs. (Who would hire any of them?) (What ENTITLES them to a job? Who volunteers to pay them wages while they want to bring down their employers?)
The Tea Party wants to improve the existing system that has been hijacked in many aspects by the Democrats. The mob wants an end to the existing system but they have no idea what to replace it with.
The Tea Party is very patriotic with quite a few vetrans. They sing the National Anthem, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and wave the flag. The mob desecrates the American flag.
The Tea Parties are orderly with one speaker after another and everyone listens respectfully. They clean up after themselves so the park looks better after they leave than before they arrive. The mob shuts downs streets and bridges. They are chaotic and anyone with a bull horn can be the speaker with several going at the same time.
What sane person, reflecting on these undeniable observations would select the mob, over the Tea Party?
I know one, but he is not entirely sane.

This IS the Original Tea Party. The first trickle of citizens who turned out for early 2009 rallies were protesting against taxpayer subsidies of Wall Street. (Then came those looking for any opportunity to scream against our president, then the professional Republican operatives like Sal Russo, who came up with such winners in Nevada, Colorado, and Delaware.
ReplyDeleteTaking the Tea Party back to its roots, now appearing on Wall Street!!!
Miggie,
ReplyDeleteYou have said it all. The difference is striking. Larry Elder asked this morning, "Where is the diversity?"
Look at the people in the Tea Party and you see middle class Amerricans who are producers. Look at this mob on Wall Street. Do they look like producers of anything? What they want is to BREAK DOWN CAPITALISM AND OBTAIN WHAT THE REST OF US HAVE EARNED.
I'm glad thye have come out of their holes-probably organized by the Obama types for the campaign. This way voters will have an even clearer choice.
Aas for Siarlys' "analysis", it sounds like the same indeciferable nonsense the protesters are saying.
Gary always retreats into incomprehensible ad hominem taunts when he can't muster up a coherent response. Very sad, especially for someone who our next generation is counting on to teach them the use of the English language.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, nobody wants to take from you what you have earned. Many of those on Wall Street neither "earn" nor "produce." They just recycle money, and take their cut every time it comes around.
There is yet another inevitable comparison, much better than mine. This one from the author of Demonic, Ann Coulter. The book has a very good history and analysis of the dynamics of mobs. I read it in record time, it was that interesting.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to her article on the topic:

You can save yourself a lot of time puzzling and trying to decipher something comprehensible out of the nonsense by skipping over it.

I always skip over Ann Coulter. If Ann Coulter loved her enemies, she would be a Christian. I suppose that doesn't matter to Miggie, since he seems to hold himself some kind of Jew. Her narcissism over her faith doesn't seem to turn him off either, even if she does indulge in the idolatrous deification of an executed criminal.
