Will Media Report Racism and Anti-Semitism at Occupy Wall Street Protests?
By Noel Sheppard | October 16, 2011 | 11:36
Remember all that media talk about the Tea Party being a bunch of racists because a handful of tasteless signs appeared at rallies around the country?
Given that excessive, disproportionate outrage, the press should be truly disgusted by videos that have been taken of overt racism and anti-Semitism occurring at various Occupy Wall Street protests and associated jobs rallies from coast to coast (multi-clip video follows with commentary, extreme vulgarity warning):
In the first clip, an African-American man at Saturday's jobs rally in Washington, D.C., walked through the crowd with a "No Jobs! No Second Term Obama!" sign calling the president a "house n-gger" (h/t Weasel Zippers).
Imagine the outrage this would have caused if it happened at a Tea Party event.
In clip number two, an African-American woman at Wednesday's Occupy Los Angeles protest said, "I think that the Zionist Jews, who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government... they need to be run out of this country" (h/t Weasel Zippers).
Zionist Jews running banks and the Federal Reserve need to be run out of this country.
Remember any Tea Partiers making such a disgraceful comment?
Or how about clip number three wherein a young man anti-Semitically abused an old Jewish man at the October 4 Occupy Wall Street rally?
Did you ever see anything like that at a Tea Party event?
Or what about clip number four wherein a black man racially abused a white, Ron Paul supporter at the September 17 Occupy Wall Street rally?
If any of these videos had been filmed at a Tea Party event, imagine for a moment how many times you would have seen these images on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and PBS.
Why are they less newsworthy when they happen at protests the media support?

Or was he just singing that old colored Down Under spiritual, "Hymie Kangaroo Town, Sport"?
How about Rev. Tawana Sharpieton revving up the crowd so effectively someone went on to destroy Freddie's Fashion Mart?

Boston Coast Guard in Boston
Submitted by TerryWest on Sun, 10/16/2011 - 1:32pm.
Boston Coast Guard in Boston have been warned away from the area of the protesters after one in uniform was spat on.
The article I read said it happened "near the protestors" so as to give them distance from the act, it also quickly found a source connected to the protestors to condemn the act.
Can you imagine the write up had this been a Tea Party gathering?
I find it amusing journalist covering the protest now seem to fully realize and vocalize often that there are always a few lose nuts in ever crowd
( sigh) such is life.
"The woman (member of the Coast Guard) was walking to the train and said protesters spit on her twice, called her foul names and even threw a water bottle at her."

I esmailed that article to my son, who is a Coast Guard officer - and a gentleman. He basically scoffed at these maggots - he knows what is going on. If they did it to him while he was in uniform - he would behave in his usual professional manner. But under any other conditiions, this creep's mouth may be wired shut for a few months afterwards, and he might not even be able to drool on himself.

There are videos of the Tea Party event at the capitol which show that no one spit on any members of congress, and they never showed those.
And yet Nancy Pelosi, less than a week ago, is still saying that Tea Partiers were not only acutally spitting on members of congress, right here in the capitol, but they were putting signs in the window encouraging it!"
I hate to link to KOS, but it has the video. And believe it or not, they have it characterized as a "smackdown" of Cantor by Ms. Facelift!
So now the canard grows: not only were the spitting, but people had signs encouraging them to spit!! Why haven't we heard about this before??
What windows? Where? People inside the capitol with signs in the windows?
Maybe our side should forget about videos, and just start going around saying stuff right off the tops of their heads without proof. You know, crank up the old rumor mill and canard machine!!

While I suspect this person has some misfiring circuits I'm not understanding why so many stood around and listened to him abuse the man.
I do not believe Tea Party participants would have allowed this person to carry on without vocal intervention as it would disrupt from the Tea Party's CLEAR and consistant message.
When you have so many scattered messages mixed with those just wanting attention, mixed with those hawking agendas it's a traveling carnival not a movement.
It's as if the Obama admin opened their many trunks of stage props all at once.
