Hypocrisy Share Values Soar as Tea Party Republicans Accuse "Occupy Wall Street" of "Dividing Americans"

http://www.thenation.com/blog/163867/hypocrisy-share-values-soar-tea-party-republicans-accuse-occupy-wall-street-dividing-ame

If share values could be devised for hypocrisy, Eric Cantor's would be soaring.

When Tea Party activists swarmed Washington, D.C., in 2009, the Virginia congressman hailed them with "fighting" words.

Now, however, the No. 2 Republican in the House is attacking the "Occupy Wall Street" movement for pitting "Americans against Americans."

Cantor's not the only protest hypocrite. Republican presidential contender Herman Cain, a Tea Party favorite known for his anti-Muslim rants, is attacking "Occupy Wall Street" protests as "Un-American." Rush Limbaugh is condemning the demonstrators as "parasites."

But it is Cantor who is cornering the hypocrisy market.

4. Tea Party Swine Squeal Over Occupy Wall Street Protests - what a headline
http://www.opednews.com/Diary/Tea-Party-Swine-Squeal-Ove-by-Ed-Encho-111008-215.html
<snip>
The Occupy Wall Street Movement just bagged two huge endorsements Friday in being denounced by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a friend of the job destroying banksters and the insipid GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor. The whole phony tea party myth is on the cusp of being blown up and they are terrified.

The Occupy Wall Street protests have been an enormous success despite the media, especially the cadre of right-wing swine who made hay with their phony Tea Party insurgency are squealing now. With the movement gaining momentum and spreading across the country (we even had a gathering here in Tampa on Thursday) it is imperative for the plutocrats, the oligarchy and the neocon war machine to nip it in the bud before moribund and broken Americans get the seeds of an idea that they can take to the streets to force change. I am very pleasantly surprised by the success to this point of the nascent movement, I had become resigned to the thought that Americans would only rebel if Dancing With the Stars was suddenly cancelled, it is not that we don't have more than our share of economically f*cked folks whose futures have been stolen by the pigs on Wall Street but there isn't the fire, or the character of peoples in other lands who are engaging in serious civil unrest. Even the corrupt corporate media was forced to cover the protests, the hypocrisy of CNN and FOX descending like buzzards to feature a dozen or so teabaggers gathered at a Waffle House with a few "Where's My Birth Certificate?" signs on a near daily basis and then ignore thousands gathering at the nexus of greed and immorality that is 'the street' would have been just a bit too obvious of whose interest those guardians of free speech and a free press truly represent.
