Who Wants to Play “Islamist, Occupy, or Tea Party”?

It’s the terrorist guessing game sensation that’s sweeping the nation!

Now, you get only one guess, so you better make it a good one. You might assume from their coloring, for example, that they’re not Muslim—but that would be profiling, you racist [bleep]head. Besides, isn’t that Al Qaeda’s new method, outsourcing?

If you remember the old ads for Levy’s bread, they would show an American Indian like Elizabeth Warren, with the tag-line “You don’t have to be Jewish to love Levy’s.” Similarly, you don’t have to be Saudi to hijack jumbo jets and crash them into skyscrapers—but it helps.

Anyway, keep thinking. What’s that? You’re ready? Okay, let’s hear it. For the Grand Prize of a lavish weekend in Bloodthirstan, staying at the ancient and drafty Mordred’s Castle, sampling such indigenous cuisine as Cherokee Crab a la Mayonnaise, what is your answer…?

OHHH! I’m sorry, but “Tea Baggers” is incorrect. While I’m sure you’re right that “those a-holes are due”, this was not that time.

May we have the correct answer, please?

Three men charged with conspiring to commit domestic terrorism during the NATO summit were plotting to attack President Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters, the Chicago mayor’s home and police stations, authorities said Saturday.

A police investigation that began early this month revealed that the three suspects are “self-proclaimed anarchists” and members of the “Black Bloc” group who traveled together from Florida to Chicago to commit violence as a protest against the NATO summit, authorities said in a statement.

“Black Bloc” was the group blamed for violence that occurred in recent “OCCUPY” protests, such as in Rome last year when anarchists in ski masks torched cars and clashed with police and even other OCCUPY protesters.

The three men were planning to destroy police cars and attack four Chicago police district stations with destructive devices as a way to undermine police response to other planned actions at the NATO summit, according to a statement by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. Downtown Chicago financial institutions were also among the proposed targets, authorities said.

Now, hang on BTL, you protest (peacefully, I hope). Just because these allegedly violent anarchists infiltrated the Occupy Movement doesn’t taint the movement as a whole. It’s like a piece of crab meat that’s gone a bit off doesn’t spoil the salad as a whole.

You just keep telling yourself that:

One of the suspects, identified by police as Jared Chase, 24, is from Keene, N.H., and spent time in Boston, where he participated in the OCCUPY Boston protests last fall.

A Facebook page bearing Chase’s name, picture, and other personal information calls him a DJ and says he is studying 3-D animation and game programming at NHTI, a community college in Concord, N.H.

Chase’s page describes involvement with the OCCUPY movement, first in Boston, then Providence, Washington, Miami, and finally Chicago. The page describes Chase being arrested outside the White House, includes commentary about the merits of antiterrorism legislation, and threats against police.

“Freedom cannot be destroyed by these corrupt pigs with badges,’’ one post reads. Another says, “Miami has the most crooked cops in the country. We should execute them before they do something well regret.’’

The Facebook page expresses support for Anonymous, a loose collective of activist computer hackers that has aligned itself with the OCCUPY movement. Linking to a post about the recent hacking of a Boston Police website, it reads, “[Anonymous] “to the rescue!’’

Gregg Housh, a leading figure in both Anonymous and the OCCUPY Boston protests, said Chase’s involvement in OCCUPY Boston was “an on-and-off thing’’ and that he “wasn’t around much,’’ preferring to move from city to city. Housh said several members of the OCCUPY Boston movement told him that they have not seen or heard from Chase since he left Boston in December last year.

“I can just see the sensationalist headlines: OCCUPY BOSTON GOES TERRORIST!,’’ Housh wrote in an e-mail.

Are we that transparent? I should hope so.

Come on, Tea Baggers, you’re falling behind. The Islamist terrorists are like the New York Yankees, a juggernaut of racist ideology, shattered bodies, and spilled blood; the OCCUPY-ers are beginning to mobilize into the violent anarchist they’ve always dreamed of becoming—and where are you? The late Andrew Breitbart’s bet that no one could provide evidence of a racist bone in your body politic isn’t going to win itself, you know.

How can we play “Islamist, Occupy, or Tea Party” if the Tea Party won’t play?

Occupy Obama’s HQ

I’d like to think I supplied the “intellectual foundation” for these folks:

[Can we all get those t-shirts?]

Dozens of demonstrators dashed into the Loop building housing President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters this morning, slipping past security guards and running up escalators as they kicked off what they called a “Week Without Capitalism.”

Eight protesters were led out in handcuffs about half an hour later after they refused to clear the lobby. They were cheered by other demonstrators who began dancing and singing folk and gospel songs.

After about 30 minutes marching and singing outside the building, the group tried to enter the building and reach Obama’s campaign offices around 8:30 a.m.

Guards locked the revolving doors, but protesters slipped through unlocked doors off to the sides. Some pushed past a security guard who tried to block their entry but quickly gave up as protesters poured through the doorway.

Like Elizabeth “Lie-a-Whoppuh” Warren, however, be careful whom you clutch to your bosom:

Jerica Arents, from the Rogers Park-based White Rose Catholic Workers, said some of the demonstrators had come from across the Midwest and would be joining NATO protests throughout the week. Arents said demonstrators are committed to remaining non-violent.

“We see NATO as using up a lot of resources in the city and the world,” she said.

Okay, they’re a little simple-minded—but no violence, no rape, no defecation. I’m proud to embrace these child-like creatures as Bloodthirsty Liberal’s Children.

Evidence? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Evidence!

It’s only on my mind because of the recent anniversary of the event, but I haven’t seen a black man beaten this savagely (intellectually, thank goodness) since Rodney King!


[Fast forward to four minutes for the fireworks.]

If it wasn’t for his baseless attacks on the tea party, I’d almost feel a little sorry for Juan Williams. He was outmatched to begin with and he’s really in a position here of trying to defend the indefensible. To support the Occupy movement in any way is to support anarchy, and orchestrated chaos and violence. This is a movement founded on anarchist principles, and led by anarchists and other radical leftists who openly call for the destruction of capitalism and the political system which supports it.

To compare it to the Tea Party is really an insult to both movements. Tea partiers abhor violence, and the bulk of the energy behind the movement is directed at demanding more fiscally responsible behavior from government, and restoring the freedoms and institutions which have made this country great. The aim of the occupiers is to tear down the system from within, and replace it with mob rule. They encourage the presence of revolutionary communists and black bloc anarchists within their midst, knowing full well that violence will ultimately be required to achieve their aims.

Juan Williams is no dummy—but his political orthodoxy is. For the last decade, the Left thought it had an argument by shouting “George Bush!” or “Cheney! Halliburton!!” From his echo chamber, Williams thought he could simply reply “Tea Party” to the very real and very disturbing charges against the anarchists, antisemites, criminals, and sufferers of diarrhea in the Occupy movement. When challenged, he had nothing. Nothing. He seemed taken aback that someone would even ask.

Andrew Breitbart went to his grave with that $100,000 he promised for tangible proof of Tea Party racism. The rest of us will have to be content with just being right; there is no reward—save scorn and hate from that selfsame Left.

Occupy Terrorists Plan To Blow Up Bridge In Cleveland

I wonder if they are also Native American?

The CNN article dances around it, but these guys were at “protests” last year… And they’re anarchists. And angry with corporations…

I suppose it could just be member of the Young Democrats or something, but I’m putting money on The Occupy Movement.

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of trying to use what they thought were explosives to destroy a bridge near Cleveland, Ohio, the FBI said Tuesday morning.

The group on Monday planted what they thought were two remotely activated C-4-based explosive devices – which they allegedly bought from undercover FBI employees – at the base of a Route 82 bridge that crosses from Brecksville to Sagamore Hills over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the FBI said in a news conference Tuesday.

The FBI learned of the plots through a confidential source who met Wright at a Cleveland-area protest event in November, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. district court. Wright told the source that Wright and a group of anarchists “had been discussing plans involving violence and destruction to physical property … to send a message to corporations and the United States government,” the complaint reads.

Geez, I wish they’d identify the protest event.

Spotted

Aggie reported seeing this bumper sticker on the road (here’s a Google image of one):

This is when the entrepreneur in me wants to rush out a line of response bumper stickers, like:

“Proud parent of a Wall Street Occupier—from my basement to your sidewalk.”

or

“Proud parent of a Wall Street Occupier—now, if I could only toilet-train him!”

or even

“My Navy SEAL son kicked the [bleep] out of your Wall Street Occupier.”

How many fortunes have I passed up out of laziness?

Oh For [Bleep's] Sake

Seriously?

Occupy Boston made a festive return to Dewey Square yesterday with food carts, bongo drums, legal advisers and signs mocking GOP candidates — but no tents or sleeping bags.

“We’re past the point of permanent occupying,” Dave Lenhert told the Herald before he set off, with about 100 others, for the protest group’s April Fools’ Day march through the city’s streets.

“It was a great way to make a splash,” he said of the controversial tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway last fall, “but now we’re going to make more pointed statements, by addressing the issues one thing at a time.”

Those issues include public transportation. On Wednesday, Occupy will team up with the Boston Carmen’s Union Local 589 to demand transit system improvements. On Saturday, Occupiers return to the streets to denounce the slaying of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

“We’re coming back stronger,” said occupier Shane Aspinall, 26. “A lot of us spent the winter months getting smarter about our movement.”

But no cleaner, by the looks of you.

And does this mean the whole nonsense of the Occupation last fall was not smart—dare I say stupid, foolish, idiotic, dumbassed? Glad you came around to my way of thinking.

April Fools at Faneuil Hall. So appropriate.

Elizabeth Warren’s Folks

The stuff you see being dumped in Manhattan is human waste.

Video footage obtained by The Daily Caller shows Occupy Wall Street protesters dumping large amounts of human urine and fecal matter around Lower Manhattan on the night of March 14.

A surveillance camera caught several people, who have been identified as members of the Occupy movement by the New York Police Department, pouring a large bucket of waste down a flight of stairs at the corner of Nassau and Cedar Streets. Around 20 minutes later, one man entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and dumped another large container of the repulsive mix.

How Can We Miss You If You Won’t Go Away?

How awesome is this?

He looks a little constipated. Where’s a cop car when you need one? And can you believe he can’t find a job? Are no sideshows hiring?

Cops shut down Union Square and kicked out a large crowd of Occupy Wall Street protesters, arresting nine demonstrators early this morning, just days after larger clashes at the group’s former encampment downtown.

Police surrounded the historic park with metal barricades just after midnight, citing a longstanding — but apparently often unenforced — rule that the park be closed in the overnight hours, as a crowd of more than 100 taunted officers.

The latest eviction follows larger clashes Saturday night at Zuccotti Park, where the anti-greed protest group had gathered to mark the movement’s six-month anniversary. In that confrontation, police arrested 73, including a homeless man who tried to grab an officer’s gun and a woman who elbowed an officer in the face, police said.

I’m astonished! I thought they were exercising their First Amendment rights! The BushCheneyHalliburton machine strikes again!

I couldn’t be happier to see the hairy-legged, knotty-haired, scruffy ruffians again—and their fetching fellas! We know how fond Obama, Pelosi, Warren, and other Democrats are of the mangy minutemen. And if they’re happy, I’m happy. It’s Chicago ’68 all over again.

Charity Begins at Homeless

Won’t you help? Otherwise, these people might end up living in tents!

The Occupy Wall Street group in New York is running low on money and on pace to run out by the end of the month, raising questions about the future of the movement that sparked a wave of nationwide protests against economic injustice six months ago.

Donations to the group, which raised about $500,000 within weeks of setting up camp in a park near Wall Street on September 17, have slowed and with plans for an American Spring of protests it has set aside a remaining $90,000 into a fund established to bail arrested protesters out of jail.

A report by Occupy Wall Street’s accounting group for the week ending March 2 showed it had $44,828 in a general fund in addition to the bail fund and warned that “at our current rate of expenditure, we will be out of money in THREE WEEKS.”

The report – posted on the group’s website http:// http://www.nycga.net – showed $1,556 had been raised that week, while $14,942 had been spent on the group’s kitchen, street medics, New York City bus and subway passes, and printing costs.

Critics say the Occupy movement lacks demands and direction and has lost momentum. Occupy protest crowds in New York and other U.S. cities have tended to number in the hundreds rather than thousands, despite the group’s social media savvy.

“The success of the movement has never depended on money,” Occupy Wall Street spokesman Ed Needham said.

Oh, okay. So you won’t miss any of mine then.

How can an organization survive on an income of $1,500 a week? Especially with expenses like printing costs, bus passes, and bail? There are squeegee guys on the corner of 72nd and Broadway who do better than that.

And where are the beautiful people (with their beautiful money)? Michael Moore, can’t you pry that wallet out from between your butt cheeks and peel off a couple of bills? Or that lovely couple, Tim and Susan Sarandon? Oh, they’re not anymore?

Well, she should be able to spare a few bucks:

NB: I haven’t watched the whole thing—can you blame me?—but I would assume it’s NSFW.

PS: If the Occupy Movement is bankrupt, does that mean the “intellectual foundation” for it is bankrupt too? Hm, Professor Warren?

Portland, OR

Kidz will be kidz

Businesses in Northeast and Southeast Portland were damaged overnight and the vandals explained their actions in e-mails, police said.

The vandalism comes ahead of a planned Occupy Portland march and rally in Portland on Wednesday afternoon as part of the Shut Down the Corporations Day of Action. The event is also known as the F29 march and organizers said they will be focusing on corporations that are part of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Police said at about 10:20 p.m. Tuesday, a U.S. Bank branch near S.E. Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard and S.E. Main Street had windows broken out and the ATM was damaged. Police said rocks were found inside and outside the building.

Portland is hip; they have great coffee and restaurants; they have more body tatoos and piercings than any other city in America… in short, it’s kind of a yucky place.
