Has anyone told the mad-hatters at MSNBC what those Occupy Oakland protesters they are glorifying are actually up to?

Masked protesters at Occupy Oakland, 3 November 2011

Actually, someone has. Here is Rachel Maddow and her labororious  and sympathetic report on the Oakland "general strike" (Huffington Post).

Note the Palestinian keffiya.


Here is a Reuters report on what occurred last night in Oakland.

Eighty arrests. The port shut down. Businesses forced to close. And here we have one of the major broadcast networks in America standing in solidarity with this crap. Maddow proudly showed us images of stores with signs proclaiming that they stood in solidarity with the 99% movement-or were closed in support of it. How many of those stores put those signs in their windows and closed up shop hoping their windows would not be smashed?

I watch these idiots on MSNBC defending this stuff, and I just shake my head in amazement.

God help the Republic.

There is no coherence to the left's positions, except their will to destroy. The only common thread is destruction. It's the only move a mob has. Liberals care less about their achieving their vision of a central government than they do about destroying their enemies.
