Joe Walsh: Veterans In Occupy Movement 'Don't Understand This Country' (VIDEO)

[Swede]

U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) slammed Occupy Wall Street protesters during a town hall meeting in suburban Gurnee, Ill. Saturday, calling the movement a "well-orchestrated, well-funded, far left effort to disrupt the American people" before admitting that he had never attended a protest.

Walsh, a Tea Party favorite who apologized last week after screaming at a constituent during a similar event, was reacting to constituent criticism of the Occupy movement when he let them know how he felt about it.

" an anti-American, well-funded left wing effort," Walsh told the crowd, to a mix of applause and boos. He also said the movement was created to "rile up Obama's left base."

1. They took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, just like

US Rep Joe Walsh (R-terribly ILL) did. Only difference, they put their boots on the ground and their lives where their mouths were.

Fucking ass.

2. Deadbeat dads who don't pay their child support don't understand this country

And people who criticize the commander in chief at a time when we have troops in the field do not love America.

[lumpy]

8. Walsh is an un-american ignoramous. Anyone who would take

this guy seriously is an ignoramous also. The US deserves better than a person who is an obvious opportunist and who has the audacity to call struggling Americans un-american.

3. "Well orchestrated, well-funded…"

He oughtta be drug-tested.

4. As opposed to teabaggers ...

a well-funded right wing effort rile up the right's base.

[Hepburn]

5. Joe Walsh,

YOU LIE!

6. This man's livelihood depends on corporatocracy, fleecing the majority of Americans & corruption

Naturally, it's in his best interest to badmouth OWS.

The Tea Party is nothing but lackeys of the GOP. Naturally he is going to applaud them.

[Old and In the Way]

7. Tammy Duckworth is going to obliterate this guy.

Joe's got a record to run on now and he's going to go down hard.

9. A lot of us don't understand this country's being like it is.

Or maybe we do understand, but we don't think that it has to be.
