The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum on the Mall was closed this afternoon after a “large group of protesters” tried to push past security guards and enter the museum, Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas said.
A demonstrator lies on the ground at an entrance to the National Air and Space Museum after police pepper-sprayed a group of protesters trying to get into the museum Saturday. (Jose Luis Magana - AP) At least one demonstrator was pepper-sprayed by a museum guard in the confrontation, St. Thomas said.
It was not immediately clear if the protesters were affiliated with the Occupy DC protest that sprung up last week as an offshoot of the larger Occupy Wall Street movement in New York.

I believe that was the plan from the beginning. “Get in their faces”.

You’re making the assumption that this moonbat girl HAS brains. She can’t lose what she doesn’t have.

NPR had a segment on today in which they discuss the diffuse violence of the TEA Party movement. It’s like watching a Soviet era newscast or NK radio announcement.

2nd photo, absolute freak show. If I were the police anyone wearing any type of mask would immediately cause me to have reasonable suspicion and the individual would be arrested, placed on half daily rations and held for no less than 14 days among the general population of the jail.

The Enola Gay is at the Dulles exhibit. But, then, these bozos would not know it,anyway!

Obama winks and gives his support as he extolls them to “get their marching shoes on”.
Throw that Riot Starting Effing POS in the WH in prison.
The RIOTS are a fire lit by Mr Obama and nobody else.
It only a matter of time until someone stands up to these thugs and violence happens...only a matter of time people.

Fox News just reporting, said the a-holes are protesting an exhibit about the unmannned drones. Just the old antiwar thing.
To: Mr. Jazzy
The next thing they will do is attempt to destroy the exhibits that to them represent "war mongering" by the US, namely, the Enola Gay. That was probably the attempt today. Oops, the Enola Gay isn't there.
To: Beckett08
Evidently the leftard “occupiers” are trying to show solidarity with their comrades who invaded the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Tahrir Square...
Good way to gain broader support (not).
Thanks, Nancy Pelosi...

The Guard who pepper sprayed the beast deserves a medal. Two medals. One for spraying her and another one for self control and showing restraint.

They weren't looking for the Enola Gay.
They were looking for the Enola McLuhan.
They were hoping to be bombed with blue Jeans
and copies of "The Naked Lunch".
