#OCCUPYFAIL: "Let it sink in: Their protests now need rape shelters. This is actually happening. And New York City lets it go on. . . .

This can't be repeated enough: With a few exceptions, foremost among them the New York Post, the coverage of OWS protests compared to the coverage of tea-party protests is the worst media double standard in recent history. Nothing compares, because nothing else involves this much distortion on both ends of the coverage."

UPDATE: A roundup. http://theothermccain.com/2011/11/05/occupydc-what-democracy-looks-like/

ANOTHER UPDATE: Rampaging Occupiers Attack 78-Year-Old Woman.

MORE: Reader Joel Mackey writes: "The media reaction to Abu Ghraib vs. their blind eyes in Zucotti Park say more than their hours of broadcast, or drums of ink ever could. The fourth estate's value has fallen further than a Las Vegas McMansion."

If they come to Charlotte with the DNC, this will not play well. They are going to expect to be able to do this, and people around here will not put up with it. That's one of my concerns for the DNC in NC. We generally don't play the stupid little games. I'm hoping South Charlotte is not too bad, since I have to drive through 3 days a week.

That video is pretty crazy.

#OCCUPYFAIL: Leaders of Leaderless Movement Seizing the Money?
http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=27479

"On Sunday, October 23, a meeting was held at 60 Wall Street. Six leaders discussed what to do with the half-million dollars that had been donated to their organization, since, in their estimation, the organization was incapable of making sound financial decisions. The proposed solution was not to spend the money educating their co-workers or stimulating more active participation by improving the organization's structures and tactics. Instead, those present discussed how they could commandeer the $500,000 for their new, more exclusive organization."

More exclusive. It really is playing out just like Animal Farm, isn't it?

MARK STEYN: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/282280

"Way back in 1968, after the riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, Mayor Daley declared that his forces were there to "preserve disorder." I believe that was one of Hizzoner's famous malapropisms. Forty-three years later Jean Quan, mayor of Oakland, and the Oakland city council have made "preserving disorder" the official municipal policy. On Wednesday, the "Occupy Oakland" occupiers rampaged through the city, shutting down the nation's fifth-busiest port, forcing stores to close, terrorizing those residents foolish enough to commit the reactionary crime of "shopping," destroying ATMs, spraying the Christ the Light Cathedral with the insightful observation "F**k," etc. And how did the Oakland city council react? The following day they considered a resolution to express their support for "Occupy Oakland" and to call on the city administration to "collaborate with protesters."

That's "collaborate" in the Nazi-occupied-France sense: The city's feckless political class are collaborating with anarchists against the taxpayers who maintain them in their sinecures. They're not the only ones."
