A number of Democratic members of Congress came out Wednesday throwing their support behind the protest known as Occupy Wall Street.

Fox News's Neil Cavuto interviewed one of them on Your World marvelously asking Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh.), "So why didn’t you celebrate when Tea Partiers were running around the country and protesting all the spending and protesting the budget and the debt getting out of control? I don’t remember you glomming on to that one" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Rush played two audio clips today of CNN interviews. One was from 2009 involving TEA, the other was current involving OWS. An amazing contrast of bias.

Kucinich is just as dumb as the protesters. He doesn’t even know, and I doubt most of them know, what it is they are actually protesting.

The organizers of this group released their demands. They don’t want jobs. They want no debt at all, free college, unionization and a living wage, even if they are not employed.

Thank God they are reliving me of his representation in Congress!!!!!!

These are dirtbaggers.

I like Kucinich for the same reason I like Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Medea benjamin and a whole lot of other people I totally disagree with. At least these people will come on fox news or call the Rush Limbaugh show and state their point. Others, like Maxine Waters, prefer to lob hand grenades at a distance and belittle anyone who disagrees with them and won’t debate their opponents.

LMAO @ "That's the tea party, that's about tea. This is about bread"

Snappy one, Kucinich.

Love Cavuto...and mercifully, Ron Paul in lowest single digits, so we do not have to think of Kucinich getting more 'face time' than he already receives.

Cain the only candidate to get or at least, tell the truth of these zero's making their own holiday - at expense of taxpayers and citizens who must suffer them. (Look no farther than Obama, Inc.) Cain is on same page as Rush. Obama bringing Alynsky into prime time and in our face.)

And while I have not heard; would bet, that neither is Newt sharing some variation of politically correct bemusement.

[no dems]

Good for Neil Cavuto.

*sneer* Why don’t you pay your taxes Neil?

Democrats like Dennis are very selective when it comes to that pesky old 1st amendment.

[Irenic]

I guess to be fair, I don’t think DeMint or Bachmann will be coming out in support of the OWS.

It does defiantly define the differences in parties.

The OWS is obviously socialist/communist/marxist, let the Dems align with that and make that alignment very visible to the public.

[Irenic]

defiantly definitely

I have to admit that when the Yippees were protesting “the establishment” I was on their side—but then,”...when I became a man I put away childish things” as the saying went.
Back then the “revolution” was pretty grassroots with a loose smattering of leaders who came and went. But mostly the whole scene was the usual peer pressured young people going through their stupid phase but most of them eventually matured and ended up voting for Reagan.

These “Occupy Wall Street” goofs however,are so phony and manipulated by the old recalcitrant Leftist farts who did not outgrow their 60s and 70s stupid phase make them classic Marxist useful idiots who,unlike the hippies and yippees,have no soul,no sense,no originality and no rock and roll.
Pathetic.
