Cantor: Wall Street Protesters are a 'mob' and some condone 'pitting American vs. American'

[WI_DEM]

The weasel speaks:

CANTOR: I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country. And believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans.

But really, saying people who have been peaceful and are gathering to air their grievances is a "mob?" By that standard, what was the Boston Tea Party? This country was founded on people protesting. It's just when Republicans don't like the message of the protesters that they become a mob.

3. Is there anybody in public life in the USA

more creepy, oily and all around despicable than Eric Cantor?

4. Cantor is an idiot

He thinks it's OK when teabaggers bring guns to events, scream and yell and make fools of themselves in their stupid costumes and dumb signs. But since these idiots are backed by the big money that Cantor is willing to put in his pockets, no problem. Yet when hundreds of thousands come out "against" those that pay him off, the rich, he has to call them a "MOB" and make stupid remarks about pitting Americans against Americans! Hell what does he think the right has been doing for decades? Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, faux news, they all make their living pitting Americans against Americans, and yet this idiot Cantor has no problem at all with that!

If there is one person on congress that needs to be removed from office next year, voted out, it's Cantor! I really hope that there is a strong candidate running against him next year!

5. Cantor is part of the mob running the Wall Street banks, hedge funds, etc.

6. GOPers always accuse others of doing exactly what they themselves are doing

[mazzarro]

7. And what was the teabaggers' protests all about?

Was that not pitting Americans against each other? Oh! I get it - Obama is not an American so that was not pitting Americans against each other!

9. Do these people have anything aside from psychological projection? I'm tired of one-trick ponys.
