Texas GOP Lt. Gov: "An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics” [View all]

Starts to make sense why they want to demonize the "Occupy" movements, data-mine anyone who supports them, etc.

Basically, that's their catch-all (as, increasingly, the idea/word "terrorist" is) of "anyone we don't like, or who disagrees with us."

So if they can get you to stand against "Occupy," or agree you really need certain segments of the Bill of Rights anymore, because of "terrorists," half their work is done.

Before the noose tightens enough that they're coming after you, and yours, too.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he was “very frustrated” with the night’s results, after officially declaring near 3 a.m. that the bill could not be enrolled.

“An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics” derailed legislation that was intended to protect women and babies, he told reporters.

"I didn't lose control of what we were doing," he said. "We had an unruly mob."
