This is friggin priceless -- proof positive (yet again) of what a joke RW "media" is:

I keep seeing right-wingers talk about how violent the OWS protestors are. I'm trying to find video evidence of this, and am at the AFP (:puke:) site, where they have multiple videos posted pertaining to a 11/4/11 Americans for Prosperity/Tea Party event in DC, with this headline:

"Videos of Violent "Occupy" Protesters Attacking the Defending the American Dream Summit"

http://americansforprosperity.org/110811-videos-violent-occupy-protesters-attacking-defending-american-dream-summit

(Watch the fourth one from the top -- "OWS Protestor, My Job is Civil Disobedience" -- watch the dude as he is pulled down the steps (no brutality). He is AWESOME!)

I watched all of them so you don't have to. The first two clearly show what BS the headline is. I know, no surprise. You can't even tell who is doing what. There is NOTHING as clearcut as the many videos we're seeing of blatant police brutality. I don't even SEE violence. I hear profanity, which maybe some prudish right-wingers view as violence.

If anyone was harmed by Occupy protestors, I absolutely condemn that. But I simply don't see that that happened, certainly nothing intentional as we're seeing in the various videos with protestors being pepper sprayed, dragged by the hair, beaten repeatedly in the stomach with night sticks, etc.

So, Michelle fields is seen in the first video at the AFP site, spewing the same RW BS about OWS. Yet she is the same Michelle Fields noted here:

Daily Caller reporter, videographer assaulted by NYPD during ‘Occupy’ protests

While covering Occupy Wall Street’s “Day of Action” Thursday morning, Daily Caller reporter Michelle Fields and videographer Direna Cousins were struck by NYPD officers as police tried to clear Wall Street of protesters.

“The police officers were beating the protesters with batons, and were also beating the media,” Fields told TheDC. “They hit Direna and me with batons. They hit other members of the press in order to get them to move out of the street.”

In the crush of the crowd, Fields and Cousins were unable to get out of the street and comply with the NYPD’s orders.

“The protesters came up to me right away and asked if I needed any medical assistance. They were actually very kind and helpful. It was the police officers who were very aggressive,” Fields added.

Edit to add more, though forget what else I was going to say, as I hit "enter" by mistake and am too pissed now at the whole charade that people believe

2. This is all pretty common...

As a veteran of the '60s I'm very familiar with how biased the media is when reporting such events.

Just be patient - the truth of OWS is too powerful for such propaganda attempts to ultimately succeed.
