Cantor, a Virginia Republican, discussed the marches today at a “Value Voters Summit” in Washington organized by the Family Research Council’s advocacy arm.

“I, for one, am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country,” Cantor said. “Believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans.”

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain told reporters in Houston yesterday that the Wall Street protesters are “trying to disrupt the whole country.”

“This is an attempt by the left to create a distraction from the failed policies of this administration,” Cain said.

Citizens exercising their right to assemble and voice their grievances to the government are demonized by fascist teabaggers like Cantor and Cain as "mobs" and accused of disrupting the country.

Well the disrupting part is right because the 1% got us 99% right where they want us and their paid for lackey stooges like Cantor and Cain fear the voice and votes of the people!

1. Occupy Virginia is coming, isn't it?

[workinclasszero]

4. Oh that will be sweet

It cant come soon enough obviously.

[monmouth]

13. Richmond and Norfolk...n/t

[On the Road]

15. There Was a Small Protest in Baltimore a Few Days Ago

which drew about 70 people. So they're around.

Or, I suppose you could organize one through social media.

[roguevalley]

22. someone needs to send him a bag of depends.

[opihimoimoi]

2. Cantor, et al, are in Denial....Frightened, they attack with denigration

unaware they confirm what the 99ers are saying

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. They sure as fuck didn't worry when (their) "tea party" were attempting to fuck everything up

because they'd all benefit.

Republicans aren't used to being in fear. They're used to striking fear, over and over and over...

[workinclasszero]

6. Oh thats different

The teabaggers are the 1%ers brownshirts. You never saw any teabag rallies get assaulted by the police, right?

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. Never ever, and they always got incredible media coverage, even if there were only ten of them.

"Telling."

[deutsey]

5. Coulter used the word "mobs" recently as well to describe Occupy Wall Street

The mask has finally fallen off to reveal the deep contempt these rightwingers truly feel toward us.

[workinclasszero]

8. First it was lazy leftist hippies then

unemployed bums and now mobs.

Its a steady demonization/dehumanization that sets the stage for violent suppression of the 99%.

I'm afraid its coming and some already have been assaulted and arrested for no cause.

[Lint Head]

7. I'm glad this prick is concerned.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. They're not mobs. They're REGISTERED VOTERS!!!

Be afraid, Eric. Be very afraid . . . .

[htuttle]

10. Sounds like we're getting closer to the 'then they fight you' stage

About bloody time.

[tridim]

19. I still don't understand who they think is going to fight for them.

Old men in $5000 suits don't fight.

[htuttle]

26. They hire people to fight for them

They've been doing that for a few thousand years now. It's always worked out fine for them, with one or two notable exceptions.

[catbyte]

11. I love how uneasy these cretins are becoming. We're getting to them.

[Kennah]

12. Arab Spring becomes American Fall

[Skink]

14. Occupy Cantors lawn

[nichomachus]

16. You shouldn't be increasingly concerned

You should be shit scared.

[LeftinOH]

17. Was Cantor concerned about the threatening "mobs" in these pictures?:

?

[workinclasszero]

23. Threatening the poor, minorities, the sick..

with no health care, youth with no future and the former middle class with violent death = patriot.

Trying to help those same people = mob and lets start cracking heads or worse. Get it?

Is there any hope for a country like this? OWS and all the other occupiers are true and brave patriots IMO.

[thereismore]

24. Nice collection. nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

20. Hilarious.

The height of drivel.

[Initech]

21. Translation: Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control.

[Bragi]

25. He should go talk to the protesters driectly

That would be a lot of fun for everyone.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. to them we are the rabble

[maxrandb]

28. He actually "effing" said this...

“Believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans.”

and God didn't strike him down with a lightning bolt???

Damn, I guess the atheist are right...there is no God.

[deacon]

29. They are gett'n scared. American are finally getting wise to them. n/t

[lunatica]

30. I guess they aren't ignoring the 99% anymore

LOL! Cantor thinks Americans shouldn't be pitted against each other!!!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

31. When I break down the OP subject I get "Cantor cries". Sums it up.
