Occupy Protesters: It’s the Joooos

October 10, 2011 | Filed under Occupy Protest | Posted by

Some are calling the Occupy Wall St. protesters hippies, anarchists, leftist radicals, marxists, moonbats… even loons.

Now apparently we can add virulent anti-semites:

    This is my shocked face.

    The gathering provides a broad stage for all the loons to come out of the woodwork.
    Thank god the only weirdo’s at the Tea Party gatherings were a few LaRoachies and one or two infiltrators that were quickly outed. The OWS gatherings seem to be magnets for the bottom feeders and malcontents who seem to be hell bent on presenting their specific grievances.

    Yes, the individuals praying during Yom Kippur in New York are real anti-Semites.

    Surprised?  No.  After all, they are the 99% protesting the ‘greedy RICH’,  and EVERYONE KNOWS that all Jews are RICH!

    Can we bring out the BIGOT! label now?

    The left had no problems labeling the Tea Party as extremist when kooks showed up on the fringe.  Why should this be treated any differently.

    Or am I missing the “nuance” which makes this okay?

    Damn hippy!

  • herddog505

    In fairness, a few examples of anti-Semitism is not sufficient to indict the entire pack of smelly hippies.

    However, it IS rich that the left tried so hard – and failed – to prove that the Tea Party is racist, being ultimately reduced to making up incidents out of whole cloth, while their own pet movement is easily showed to contain at least some racist elements.

    • http://www.facebook.com/michael.laprarie Michael Laprarie

      “their own pet movement is easily showed to contain at least some racist elements.”

      Exactly.  This is simply the same warmed over “anti-war” crowd from a few years ago.  They’ve been “out of a job” so to speak, since Democrats took control of the government and protesting the war became politically uncool.  This is the professional protester class, largely made up of white college-age kids from upper middle class families.  Most of them have undergraduate or graduate degrees but a lot of them do not have full time work.  They are over-educated (being fully indoctrinated by post-modern socialist dogma) and bored.  And they are chock-full of anti-Semites. 

      I have pointed out repeatedly to liberal friends that I can find 10 instances of rabid anti-Semitism on full display at anti-war protests, for every alleged incident of “racism” connected with the Tea Party.  The trouble is, a lot of liberals don’t consider anti-Semitism to be akin to racism.  But it is.

      Well, this is the same thing that was done to the Tea Party, as I have pointed out – taking the most fringe participants and make them representative.

      Googling “anti-semitic” “tea party” brought up several examples of anti-semitic nutballs in the Tea Party:

          I guess playing the race card or its equivalent is OK if you’re on the “right” side.

          And I did not even get into posters of Obama with a bone through his nose displayed at Tea Party rallies.

          The reaction is hysterical:

          Panic of the Plutocrats

          By PAUL KRUGMAN

          Published: October 9, 2011

          It remains to be seen whether the Occupy Wall Street protests will change America’s direction. Yet the protests have already elicited a remarkably hysterical reaction from Wall Street, the super-rich in general, and politicians and pundits who reliably serve the interests of the wealthiest hundredth of a percent.
          And this reaction tells you something important — namely, that the extremists threatening American values are what F.D.R. called “economic royalists,” not the people camping in Zuccotti Park. . . . .

          What’s going on here? The answer, surely, is that Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe realize, deep down, how morally indefensible their position is. They’re not John Galt; they’re not even Steve Jobs. They’re people who got rich by peddling complex financial schemes that, far from delivering clear benefits to the American people, helped push us into a crisis whose aftereffects continue to blight the lives of tens of millions of their fellow citizens.

          Yet they have paid no price. Their institutions were bailed out by taxpayers, with few strings attached. They continue to benefit from explicit and implicit federal guarantees — basically, they’re still in a game of heads they win, tails taxpayers lose. And they benefit from tax loopholes that in many cases have people with multimillion-dollar incomes paying lower rates than middle-class families.

            “as I have pointed out – taking the most fringe participants and make them representative.”

            Seems you didnt verbalize this about those tea partiers when you first saw those images (if they actually exist).  Why now?  Oh wait the left is getting the same treatment as the right.  I get it now.  But it is only wrong if the left gets painted with the broad brush.

            I never said the Tea Party was racist. 

            The point is, if you can get your head around it, is that you can’t complain about the Tea Party being tarred as racist (or anti-semitic) because of a few random nuts, and then try the same thing yourself WRT OWS.

            “you can’t complain about the Tea Party being tarred as racist (or anti-semitic) because of a few random nuts…”

            But Chico

            THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFT  HAS DONE YET YOU SAY NOTHING AGAINST IT.  Instead you would have tea party branded as racist without saying a word against it (please show me a link to where you have protested against the Tea Party being branded as racist or protested against BOb Armstrong or Lee Ward characterizing the Tea party as racist.) and then have the republicans say nothing about the OWS crowd. 

            From your link

            “The image has stoked debate and cast attention on the rallies, which have drawn people Tea Party organizers describe as on the fringe and not representative of the overall movement”

            Gee sounds like you Chico in ref to the OWS crowd.  But wait.  You didnt seem to have a problem with the Tea Party being called racist at that time did you.  What is good for the goose is good for the gander.  What goes around comes around.  Karma is a bitch. 

            Once again you prove the statement I wrote in another thread.   That statement being (and I paraphrase myself).  You want to complain about one thing and then stick your head in the sand when your defend your side of the political aisle doing the same thing.

            BTW whoever did the poster was stupid.

            “Wizbang writers being at the bottom of the food chain of “pundits who reliably serve the interests of the wealthiest hundredth of a percent,” in the way of a serf scrambling for scraps from the duke’s table.”

            Those ‘scraps’ are what we’re playing with now, (hello, internets!!!)  and they’re pretty meaty things.  I don’t see the top-down people’s republic model as exemplified in the USSR and China, or the various hard-core countries where 5-year plans are the norm as providing much except dust.

            (Shrug.)

            Hate the rich.  Tax ‘em to death.  Take all their money, spread it around.  Take Warren Buffett’s fortune, add in Bill Gates.  Hell, take the top 10 of the Forbes 400.  Strip them of all their assetts, liquidate everything.

            And you’d get roughly $300 billion.  (Not quite that – actually $292bil.  Likely about half of that in reality, it’s unlikely you could get full market value for any of them.  But figure $300 billion for the fun of it…) 

            Figure there’s roughly 300 million people in the US.  Take that money – pass it out (minus 10% for government collection and distribution costs) and everyone would get a check for the incredible sum of $900.  (Which would be nice – but is it worth the ruination of the economy to get it?)  (And we’ve passed out about $1.5 trillion in ‘stimuluses’ over the past 3 years.  That’s $5,000 per person. We could have done a LOT of stimulative buying for a total of $15k in our house.  New paint, new tile, new deck… but it’s all scrap paper blowing in the wind now…)

            This all reminds me of the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs.  Those who argued that the goose was full of gold wanted to kill it right then and cut it open and get all the gold at once.  The folks who argued against it said that it was better to get some gold each day. 

            The folks who wanted to cut the goose open won, and did so.  And inside, found a perfectly normal goose without a speck of gold.

            I leave you to figure out which was the better long-term plan.

            Many people use the “golden goose” metaphor to describe the wonderful domestic consumer market for U.S. manufactured goods, which went away when U.S. manufacture and good wages went away, to China or wherever.

          • retired.military

            So you want to point this out and yet defend in the same thread the OWS crowd and how republicans are reacting to them.

            Do you even read what you write Chico?

      • herddog505

        So, when can we expect the same sorts of breathless, hysterical, handwringing “analyses” from MiniTru about the OWS people that we saw about the Tea Parties?  When can we expect days – weeks – of coverage about fictional instances of OWS people spitting on members of Congress?*

        Oh, we shouldn’t hold our breath?  Shocker…

        I repeat what I wrote above: a couple of instances of anti-Semitism isn’t sufficient to indict the entire OWS crowd, but it amuses me to see it after the left had to resort to lies and planted stooges to try to so smear the Tea Party.

        Michael Laprarie – [A] lot of liberals don’t consider anti-Semitism to be akin to racism. 

        I suggest that the root of modern anti-Semitism lies not in hatred of Jews as Jews, but rather in opposition to / hatred of Israel and is the result of the liberal impulse to enoble the underdog and villify whoever has some power**.  The left decided that, because the Israelis have been militarily successful in stopping the Arabs finishing what Hitler started, they are (somehow) villains.  Because the Israelis are no more eager to give their country to the Palestinians than we are to give ours to the Indians, they are “occupiers”.  This makes it acceptable – even chic – to villify and hate them.

        —-

        (*) The fact that Rep. John Lewis, one of the culprits in the fabricated “spitting” incident, was shut down by the smelly hippie protesters in Atlanta whom he supports is just too delicious for words.

        (**) Consider the lefty attitudes toward the poor and the rich, or minorities and women vs. white men.  One sees this in academia quite a bit.  For example, modern historigraphy emphasizes “bottom up” history, which is to say, history as told from the perspective of “out” groups (slaves, the poor, the “working class”, women, minorities, homosexuals) with emphasis on their struggles against The System / The Man.

    Direct challenge to you.

    Please show me a link to where you have protested against the Tea Party being branded as racist or protested against Bob Armstrong or Lee Ward characterizing the Tea party as racist.

    One little link Chico and I will shut up and go away.

    You see Chico. This is like the Reid rule (nuclear option). The dems do something and proudly proclaim about how right it is and then when the republicans treat the dems the same way they were treated well you would think that all hell has broken loose and the republicans are doing the worst thing in the world. Dems cant live by the same rules they set for republicans. Never have been able to and never will even try. Instead they will cry like little babies about how unfair the republicans are. I am going to save a link to this thread and when you go and complain about the republicans invoking the Reid rule in 2013 I am going to reply back with the link to show you exactly how you and other democrats act.

            When did Chico start referring to himself in the third person?

            It became “his job” when he accepted the challenge.  And, by the way, “the guy was a member of the Tea Party” isn’t a good argument that you ever actually defended the Tea Party itself against your side’s continual accusations of racism.

    Since this is a crowd chanting it and not an individual I am sure that the MSM will report it and Obama will promptly stand behind them. (Yeah right).
