You have to explain the liberal mindset as explained to me by a conservative Philly newspaper editor (yes, one did exist until recently when he took a buyout).
Liberals try to shoehorn just about every event into one of four historical patterns - the civil rights movement, Vietnam, Watergate, and later Florida 2000 election.
So they will try to re-enact the Vietnam protests by wishing for a Kent State moment with OWS.
Never mind the myopia that such an approach represents.
What's all this "liberal" stuff you mention? This is a COMMUNIST-REVOLUTIONARY movement. These are the same type of scum that organizes the so-called "anti-war" rallies. I put anti-war in quotes because these SBs are anything BUT anti-war. They are communists who support and defend violent leftist uprisings and revolutions wherever they occur. They worship mass murderers like Mao, Che, and even Stalin. Not exactly men of peace.
For example...
Communist terrorist, Weather Underground leader, wife of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, with the co-founder of the, er hum, "peace" group Code Pink (Medea Benjamin).
