Police have arrested five Occupy protesters outside the Iowa campaign headquarters of Republican presidential contender Ron Paul.

The arrests were made Thursday as demonstrators gathered to protest Paul's proposal to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency if elected.

A spokesman for the group, Occupy the Caucuses, says they arrived at Paul's campaign headquarters to find the doors locked. She said protesters were arrested on charges of trespassing after they refused to leave.

Paul wants to get rid of the unconstitutional Environmental Protection Agency? Why Paul must be some kind of left-wing kook! I bet he paid those dope smoking commie OWS freaks to protest his own campaign headquarters as a publicity stunt because everyone know that Ron Paul is actually more liberal than Obama.

Nobody ever said the Occupy bots were smart... they’re just Obamas useful idiots.

How do you tell the difference between a Vendetta mask wearing Occupy Wallstreet lunatic and a wacko Vendatta mask wearing Ron Paul supporter?

Well I'm sure it wasn't the veterans on the stage, or the 84 year old veteran who sang patriotic songs, followed by prayer, or the veterans in the audience.

Those who watched the video would know this.

BTW, that veterans rally video covered by CSPAN in Iowa was censored/deleted from this forum last night, after warning from posters that it was not wanted.

They arrest these people and 30 seconds later they are on the street again.

Arrest them. REALLY arrst them, 10 days in jail will straighten out their proclivity to protest.

A link to veterans rally video covered by CSPAN in Iowa. There are protested removed in the video, and I have no idea if these are the same people. In this video, two woman are screaming like hysterical banshies as they are walked out, out of view of the camera.

“Occutards vs Paultards, hard to choose who to root for.”

We should all just pull up a chair and toss peanuts at them.

I have no use for ron paul but I hope the farm boy police kick the hell out of these occupy creeps.

Question for the Tuesday night cauci. "What happened to those occupy critters"?

Answer, "They went to use the out house and the hogs ate them".

It's still close to Jesus' Birthday, so I cleaned it up a shade.

If they were smart they wouldn't be idiots.
If they weren't idiots they wouldn't be useful.

The thing is that most Iowa Occutards are going to cross over and vote for RuPaul in the primaries anyway, as part of their version of “Operation Chaos”.
