What the Marxists and Alinskyites are always after is provoking law enforcement to strike, and better yet, injure one or more of the “protestors.” That way they can call laws enforcement “violent” and “oppressive” in the face of “innocents trying to express themselves.” They use the nwitting bistanders like patsies; the bystanders don’t like to see people getting hit and the Marxists know that. It’s all planned and orchestrated. The did exactly that kind of premediated provocation of law enforcement in the Haymarket riots, at Columbia University and at Kent State. They can’t radicalize people through logic and persuasion, so they try to do it this way.

Ann Coulter explains the liberal mob tactics in this book.
It's worth the read.

Then they’ll move onto looting the diamonds and gemstones in the Smithsonian. Then of course the artifacts, the iconic Hollywood memorabilia, then who knows what else.

If these idjits applied HALF of their energy to building businesses, all of them would be millionaires. Can we please import the Chinese police to deal with these miscreants.

AVIATION PING

Air & Space Museum closed by demonstrators

WASHINGTON (AP) – The National Air and Space Museum in Washington was closed Saturday after anti-war demonstrators swarmed the building to protest a drone exhibit

When a security guard stopped group members from entering, saying they could not bring in signs, he was apparently held by demonstrators, Gibbons said. A second guard who arrived used pepper spray on at least one person and the crowd dispersed, he added.

"Wall Street likewise continues to conspire to thwart Americans. “Fat-cat bankers,” “millionaires and billionaires,” people who fly in “corporate jets,” and those who “don’t pay their fair share” and who junket to Las Vegas or jet to the Super Bowl “on the taxpayers’ dime” have all ignored the president’s warnings. Did they not hear that “now is not the time for profit” and “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”?

On Monday, Robby Mook, the executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, sent out an official e-mail asking recipients to sign a petition in support of OWS. “Protesters are assembling in New York and around the country to let billionaires, big oil and big bankers know that we’re not going to let the richest 1 percent force draconian economic policies and massive cuts to crucial programs on Main Street Americans,” wrote Mook.

On Tuesday, President Obama’s senior campaign advisor, David Plouffe​, appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to emphasize that the White House supports OWS and Republicans do not. “If you’re concerned about Wall Street and our financial system, the president is standing on the side of consumers and the middle class,” said Plouffe.

Think about what David Plouffe​ said: That the White House supports OWS and Republicans do not. Just think about that for a minute. The White House officially supports this. I know this should not be a surprise to anyone who draws air and has a miniscule spark of awareness, but...it is appalling.

The left is going nuts now saying that there would have been a peaceful demonstration but for a conservative that infiltrated their protest. LOL!

Conservative writer claims infiltration of D.C. protest

Monday - 10/10/2011, 6:09pm ET

By BEN NUCKOLS
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - An editor for the conservative magazine The American Spectator claims to have infiltrated a group of anti-war protesters who swarmed the National Air and Space Museum only to be repelled by security guards using pepper spray.

The Washington museum was closed after the protest Saturday afternoon. Smithsonian officials said a group of 100 to 200 people tried to enter the museum but were barred by guards who said they could not bring in signs. Several were sickened by the spray.

Patrick Howley, an assistant editor at The American Spectator, wrote in a blog post that he was one of a “select few” protesters willing to storm the entrance and actually made it inside.

Howley could not be reached Monday, and his editors didn’t return messages seeking comment.
