At least one elderly lady was beaten on the top of the stairs by OWS protesters. In this video there was also a 78-year old woman who was attacked and pushed down a flight of stairs. This kind of violence cannot be tolerated. OWS protesters are attacking peaceful civilians. I feel so sorry for these poor elderly ladies who were attacked by these Leftist loons. This behavior by OWS is despicable and has no place in our society. They were both leaving a dinner held by Americans For Prosperity.
The woman’s name is Dolores Broderson. Small Dead Animals got this email:
Ray Patnaude emails: “My wife and I were at the AFP dinner. Some info on the AFP member who was pushed down the stairs by the protestors… she is the second woman the police are helping up in the Daily Caller video. Her name is Dolores Broderson, age 78. She rode on a bus for 11 hours from Detroit to get there. She went to the emergency room with a bloody nose and bruises on her hand and leg.”
She rode from Detroit for 11 hours because AFP is a genuine grass-roots movement, unlike the Occupiers and their sugar daddies. But that is a relatively minor point. The Occupier movement stands for riot, assault, rape, vandalism, sexual harassment, public urination, public defecation and public masturbation. And Barack Obama owns it lock, stock and barrel. He has endorsed the Occupiers and never uttered a single word to distance himself from them. Their disgusting behavior should be hung around his neck like an anvil when he runs for reelection next year.
Barack Obama and the Democrats own the entire OWS movement, violence and all.
Peter Schiff is great in these videos. I love how he is willing to engage in conversation with the protesters. He came armed with facts and asking what the protesters beef is with the 1%. What more do the protesters want of the 1%? He tries to explain to the protesters how businesses function or are run on a day to day basis. Plus, he points out that if the incentive is low above a certain amount of earnings why would he waste his time working hard to keep a low percentage of his earnings? What would be his incentive to work more hours and hire more employees? He emphasizes that if this would happen he would close his business and that would hurt the workers he employs. It is clear that a number of the protesters are clueless as to how a business operates. Peter is spot on when he talks about the government needing to get the heck out of the college loan business. Government influence has raised the cost of tuition considerably over the past few decades.
Schiff is no ordinary observer. As the principal of the financial firm Euro Pacific Capital, he’s a full-fledged and unapologetic member of “the 1 Percent.” As an outspoken radio show host (listen online here) and commentator, he not only predicted the housing crash and financial crisis, he railed bank and auto-sector bailouts as they were happening. Schiff believes that capitalism offers the only hope for young, frustrated people to have a vibrant and prosperous future (get information on his latest book, How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes, here). So he went to Occupy Wall Street to engage and debate the protesters.
Touring the Occupy Wall Street scene in New York with a sign that read “I Am the 1%, Let’s Talk,”Schiff spent more than three hours on the scene, explaining the difference between cronyism and capitalism, bailouts and balance sheets, and more.
“The regulation we want is the market,” said Schiff. “That’s what works.”
Schiff describes himself as “sympathetic” to the plight of the OWS protesters, but thinks their anger is misdirected at legitimate business interests and should be better at the White House, Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the crony capitalists they’ve bailed out.
Here is a great clip of Peter Schiff confronting the Occupy Wall Street Protesters. I have also posted a couple shorter clips below the longer video.
Instead of doing my Eagle Freedom Links today I have decided to do something a little different. This is partially due to my not having enough time to do my links and due to my health situation.
John from Sentry Journal has posted an important message that Judge Napolitano had for the Occupy Wall Street Protesters. The only thing I disagree about is Judge's implication that if people are for the defense of our nation when there is an imminent threat or even a perceived imminent threat to our freedom and people are for defending those threats by having wars in those countries which threaten our freedom that that makes a person anti-liberty or anti-freedom. What would have happened if we had ignored Hitler? I would equate the threat of Muslim extremists with that of Hitler.
Atlas Shrugs informs us that Con Ed is will evict the Mosqueteer. This is great news! The Ground Zero Mosqueteer is a deadbeat who has failed to pay back loans, back taxes and pay his rent. He tried to get taxpayers to foot the bill but thank goodness didn't get what he requested. The man obviously needs to find a new line of work, one where he can pay his own bills.
Leaders of 20 Catholic organizations have signed a letter which was sent to both Congress and the Obama administration which declares that Obamacare needs to be reformed in order to protect conscience rights. Thanks for standing up for everyone's conscience rights Catholic organizations. This HHS mandate needs to be changed because it is against our religious liberty and civil rights.
Matt of Conservative Hideout shows a video showing a great moment in civil discourse. The Tea Party meets Occupy Wall Street. The way Occupy Wall Street protesters react shows just how much they truly believe in "diversity" and "tolerance".
I don't normally watch that channel called CNN but my friend Erin Burnett has a new show called Outfront on CNN which is pretty good. It is actually a "we report, you decide" kind of show. In a segment called Seriously?! she paid a visit to the Occupy Wall Street protesters in Manhattan. From what I've heard and seen from pictures and some speeches the vast majority of these people seem to be like zombies and clueless idiots. I wonder how far, wide and the length of time she had to search to find a protester who had a clue as to why they were protesting and was coherent in his complaints. She found that most of the outrage from the protesters comes from the belief that TARP had hurt the economy. But, Erin actually debunks that false notion. To my surprise I found out that we, the taxpayers, actually made money off the bailouts, with the exception in the case of GM. The taxpayers lost money bailing out GM. So, are the protesters a "mixed bag" as she asserts or are they useful idiots?
Well, we have one protester who decided to defecate on a police car.
Is this the caliber of persons we are dealing with at OWS?
Here is an example of those enviroweenies not being so environmentally friendly.
In the video below we have the Communist Frances Fox Piven supporting the Occupy Wall Street protesters and you can hear the zombie chants from the protesters. Whoa! That's scary....
While I sympathize with the protesters sentiment against the bailouts I vehemently oppose their class warfare rhetoric and anti-capitalistic or anti-free market philosophy. These people are clueless when it comes to economics.
