Occupy Boston hosts rally in support of accused terrorist


Occupy Boston, the Boston branch of the Occupy Party, hosted a rally yesterday supporting accused terrorist Terak Mehanna.

The U.S. government says Mehanna, 28, provided “material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization,” and acted as a “media wing” for al-Qaeda.

It’s one thing not to know what you are protesting as some Wall Street occupiers told Reason TV and the organizer of the Sacramento “demonstration” put on by the Sacramento branch of the Occupy Party told CBS13 reporter Tony Lopez. It is something else all together to rally in support someone accused of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

I recognize and will defend the right of these sad souls to protest, but I certainly question their judgment and motives. To someone like me, who was around for the protests in the 60s and 70s, giving support to an accused terrorist is little better than “Hanoi” Jane Fonda propagandizing for the North Vietnamese in 1972. Especially when the occupiers are led by disgraced “green jobs czar,” “truther” and admitted communist Van Jones.

That's the great thing about these protests

Just when the Dems think they have hit upon a winner to change the narrative, the lefties’ usual suspects show up and turn it into a Code Pink Marxist Transgender Jihadi love-in. :)

Video retort to the hypocrisy of the OWS movement

Not sure if you’ll find this entertaining, but I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2qqRFYv3ao

This movement is getting more idiotic every day, and I’m getting more annoyed. Looking forward to returning to normalcy…

Matt, that's absolutely spot on.

of the left-wing loonies. Don’t know what they’re protesting or who they’re supporting. Perfect place for someone like V. Jones to spew his garbage. I also will defend their right to speak or protest here in the USA. Still the land of the free for the time being. If Obama gave this Jones guy a place in government, what should that tell even the stupidset sheep who is out there protesting capitalism. Oops, I forgot that they don’t even know what they’re there for. My bad. Hopefully this is NOT what my grandson has to look forward to. Keep that in mind as we approach 2012!

I think those loonies

know what they are protesting, either in specific or in the broadest sense. It seems to me that it is the far right media and it’s various supporters who don’t know, or don’t care, or just won’t admit they know for fear of sounding too sympathetic.

What they are not protesting is capitalism or democracy or government or markets in their theoretical constructs. What they are protesting is the current extremes that are occurring in the real life implementations of said constructs.

Too much of this and too little of that and not enough of the other as it were. The results of which are hurting most of us and benefiting very few of us.

"STIMULUS" money makes it's appearance

givemefreedom Tuesday, October 11th at 10:03AM EST (link)

You wondered where all that “STIMULUS” money went because it sure didn’t find it’s way to any “shovel ready” projects.
Look no further. These organize gatherings are being paid for with YOUR “STIMULUS” MONEY.
Like they say, “Follow the money . . . . . “.

This nonsense is made up of three component parts: 1. the hardest core left-wing of Communists (orthodox and Trotskyite); 2. the more militant unions, principally NEA and SEIU; 3. spoiled rich kids for whom this is “cool” and who are stirred up by professors who are part of the first-named group.

Once you filter out those three groups, you’re left with almost nobody there. In other words, there is no way to view this as an outcry of Middle America. This is the bunch that likes, among themselves, to refer to “Amerika”.

‘accused’ Last I heard we are still clinging to the precept that our cherished law is the keystone of our system. As in ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Am I wrong about that?

It is an all or nothing proposition, that precept. Can’t apply it only to folks you like or that you know. Nor should any authority be able to accuse an American of a crime and then without due process, mete out punishment. This is a notion that made us great and one that many other countries adopted and follow. It is one that I consider a basic human right that everyone is entitled to regardless of race, creed, nationality or viewpoint.

What am I missing here?

 

Surprise??

Why would the radical left be any different today, from what it was 50 years ago. Its goal has always been to destroy the country it hates, under the guise of democracy.

 

Thanks for watching...

That little video, which I created just to vent a little bit, has now been viewed over 37,000 times now. I find it hilarious, but what’s been really interesting to read is the belligerent comments leftists have posted on the youtube page. Fascinating combination of vitriol and illiteracy.

Anyway, thanks for watching…
