Or, instead of Really, maybe we should say WTF?

As Tony Krvaric wrote on Facebook, “This is an absolutely vile video from tonight’s Occupy San Diego protest outside of Police HQ where they held a moment of silence ‘for the guy who shot at the White House.’ Unbelievable.”

The silence of labor in re these criminal acts and sympathy for criminal acts by the Occupy organization is deafening.
On a Facebook photo of Air Force One landing in San Diego, Temecula resident Rob Radcliffe made the following comment:
“If the muslim is in it, shoot it down!”
Will you guys please cry some crocodile tears about this as well?

Democrab had to go to a Facebook Page (!) from
Temecula (!) to find something 1% as offensive as
a San Diego rally being asked for Solidarity with
a guy who FIRED BULLETS at the White House.
Dude, that is so sad.
Please tell me you are comparing some unknown idiot on facebook making an idiotic statement, with a genuine fool shooting at the White House.
Gotta love the left. If we don’t get angry at something involving the president, you complain that we’re racist, we do get upset, you complain. Damned if we do, Damned if we don’t.
Our side is upset about someone trying to kill elected
President Barack Obama. Their side is shrugging the
thing off as no big deal. What’s wrong with this picture?
Dave Maass wrote at CityBeat that the guy was merely “inarticulate” and not really a terrorist sympathizer. Assuming he’s correct for the sake of argument (I think Dave is sincere, but not sure if he’s correct), the guy has to be the very dimmest of dimbulbs in the Occupy movement.
And Dave’s derogatory implication that it’s objectionable only to types like right-wing “blow-hards” fails to place the blame where it belongs.
One commenter on Dave’s article made the telling point that no one present objected to how the moment of silence was phrased, even though it explicitly asked for “solidarity” with the suspected White House shooter.

In posting this video, we didn’t assume the guy was anything more than a dim bulb. It speaks more to the sheer stupidity of Occupy in allowing anyone to be its PR effort.
@Jim, actually, I’d be happy to finally know where “your side” draws the line when it comes to detesting Obama.
Unfortunately, I can only assume that “your side” is outraged because a window was broken and a taxpayer will have to replace it.
@Thor’s Assistant By the way, if your take on the video was that the guy is a dim bulb, I don’t see any evidence of benefit of the doubt in the post. All I see are Tony Krvaric’s damning words “absolutely vile.”
Too bad nobody occupies Krvaric’s brain
Visualize the MSM coverage if someone at a Tea Party
rally had called for solidarity with the coward who shot
Rep. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS in Arizona last January !
Every Tea Party supporter everywhere would’ve been
broad-brushed as a potential terrorost or a moron, or
both.
Tony has shown us the Grand Canyon-sized Double
Standard at work on this issue.

@Democrab:
Fact: The video is what it is. We posted it.
Fact: Tony Krvaric wrote what he wrote. We posted it.
We editorialized in that by posting Krvaric’s words, it is assumed we agree with those words. Maybe we do. We further editorialized by noting the “moment of silence” as a WTF. Fact: It is.
Our readers are big enough boys and girls to draw any conclusion they want from the video, without us having to ask the Occu-guy what he meant.
This may not be a fact, but it’s an opinion that would be hard to discount: The Occupy movement has a PR problem, especially by letting every doofus have equal access to mics and cameras.
As far as Obama, you clearly have difficulty differentiating between philosophical disagreements over policy and the law itself. We don’t. We believe that reasonable conservative-minded people may disagree with Obama’s politics, but support the office of the president and the institutions a part of it. Not to mention that breaking the law is also what it is, regardless of the victim. To think otherwise is also a WTF.
Jim,

Even without that poor excuse, the left and their MSM lackeys smeared the Tea Party anyway.
Actually the liberals trying to somehow justify the Occupy action is all that we could wish for. They just align themselves (and the Democrat Party) closer and closer with this violent movement. Saints be praised!
Stick to your guns, democrab.
It IS fair to compare the Tea Party movement with Occupy.
One group is lawless, violent, filthy, unsanitary, incoherent, drugged up, blocks free speech using the tactics of thugs, damage businesses small and large, trashes any place they appear. commit rapes, battery, vandalism and other violent acts, and want more and more government subsidies for themselves.
One group is not, and does not.
Gee, which group is which, I wonder? And why does the press fail to publicize this disctinction?
Many of my allies are upset by the Occupy movement. Not me. This is great!
The riotous behavior of these incoherent, drugged out derelicts is alienating the nonpartisan voters, driving people away from Obama — who is seen as the patron saint of the Occupy mess.
Moreover, we get to see who backs Occupy. The list is impressive indeed — communists, NAZI’s and other repugnant, violent, discredited groups.

The best part is that conservatives and libertarians don’t have to fund this anti-Democrat Party movement — progressive bozos are paying for it themselves!
Does it get any better than this?
Gee, which group is which, I wonder? And why does the press fail to publicize this distinction?
I haven’t the foggiest!

I wonder how long the occupy movements would last if TV,radio and newspapers ignored them. I now treat occupy coverage the same as a do a commercial. Immediately switch channels.
