Liberal version.

WASHINGTON — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says she agrees with protesters from Wall Street to Washington who are saying most of the country isn’t getting a fair shake from the financial and political establishments. Republicans are criticizing the protesters’ message as divisive. Asked to respond, the California Democrat said on ABC’s “This Week” that the GOP didn’t object to the tea party’s in-your-face protests against members of Congress in last year’s elections. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor this week said he was concerned about the “growing mobs” and criticized those who support them. He said condoning the demonstrations amounted to supporting the “pitting of Americans against Americans.” The loosely-affiliated movement amassed on Wall Street and in Washington in recent weeks is protesting the power of the financial and political sectors.

the tea partiers weren’t humping in the mud, for one thing.
No were they getting busted by the hundreds, nor taking dumps on NYPD cruisers.
Tea Partiers also went back to their jobs after “getting in the face” of members of Congress. A tactic, btw, that Mr. Obama encouraged his followers to do during the 2008 election.
Ugh.
Rubbish. Republicans don't think in such terms as being "divisive" just because somebody disagrees. That is entirely a liberal construct, designed to shut people up who disagree.
Republicans are criticizing the protesters' message as STUPID. Because it is. But it's not divisive. If anything, I believe it will help unite the country against the leftists currently running the government.
In fact, I don't believe I have ever heard the term "divisive" uttered by a Republican. Only democrats use it.
I know I’m getting old, but I don’t remember Tea Partiers being involved in mass arrests or pooping on police cars.
She is just a flat out liar...absolutely soulless, this woman. The ‘spit’ claims were complete BS, there was even a reward offered for proof, no takers.
When people have no message but to crap in the streets, it's time for them to go home.
Then, she had her trained thugs invite Congressman John Lewis to meet with a group, and speak encouraging words and although this group was under her direct command they sent him packing without another word.
He is currently Senior Chief Deputy Whip for the Democratic Party. He wants to be Minority Leader! Let me make a prediction ~ he may well get his chance if they can bounce that crazy woman outta' the House. Encouraging violence might well be the sort of ethics charge they could use to leverage her out real quick.
I remember all the kind words that Pelosi had for the Tea Party. Oh, wait a minute, THERE WEREN’T ANY!!!! I guess being a hypocrite is okay as long as you are a democrat because the media never reports it.
The writer of the AP article must have been absent from kindergarten on the day when the rest of the kids learned about “one of these things is not like the others”.
The Tea Party are the tax payers Washington Post.
Have you ever meet a welfare recipient that was part of the Tea Party?
These college students, that have Mommy and Daddy paying for all or most of their college, think they know the answer to EVERYTHING! Even though most of them have never had a career in their life and do not pay taxes. They just want to leach off the workers of our nation.
Make no mistake most of them are Obama-bots too. They blame Wall Street and not Obama for the mess. They believe government is the answer to everything. Most are clueless and just parroting what their Marxist college Professors have brain washed in to them.
Did any of you see that video out of Atlanta? It reminded me of some of the old videos of the Socialist in Germany in the 1930s. Where their politics has ritual, much like a religion, to brain wash these young Sheeple. They are all followers that are parasites off the backs of working and creative people.
I understand it’s easier to blame someone or something else for the short comings of the President and congress these Sheeple elected in 2008. To admit they were wrong is too much to bear. It’s human nature to never admit they were wrong.
The Tea Party recruited and backed candidates for public office at all levels of government and were crucial to Republicans taking back the House in 2010 as well as tipping numerous governorships and state legislatures toward the GOP.
Until the Occupiers have a similar record of achievement, they are just a bunch of whining do nothings.
You beat me to it. You are 100% correct.
The Tea Party folks said there piece, cleaned up and went home
One, she said tea partiers spit on members of congress....a blantant lie as expected from a liberal.
Two, she DID object to the tea party....blantant hypocracy as expected from a liberal
Three, she’s worth $40 million bucks yet agrees with the protestors that the money should be redistributed. You go first, Nancy.
Some of the differences is that Tea Party events lasted one day, they cleaned up when the left and they went back home with a plan to elect new people. No burden placed upon the cities in which and event was held and they took action to make their demands for change work.
