Democrats Embrace Radical Protestors

Gary Bauer

Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is jumping to the defense of the Occupy Wall Street movement after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor blasted the "growing mobs" across the country. The DCCC has launched an online petition defending the protestors as representative of the American middle class. Really?

Here's who the DCCC thinks represents the middle class:

• The Occupy Boston contingent has welcomed supporters of a Muslim extremist who is accused of supporting jihadi groups. Since midnight, Boston police report having arrested nearly 130 people.
• Over the holiday weekend, 100 members of the Occupy Washington crowd tried to storm the National Air and Space Museum. Why? Because there was a drone aircraft similar to those used to kill Al Qaeda terrorists on display. To most Americans, drones are an effective weapon in our war against Islamofascism. But the left-wing extremists who Democrats are embracing were trying to prevent the "glorification of extra-judicial executions and the military industrial complex at a public institution."
• Today the Washington, D.C. group barged into a Senate office building and refused police orders to leave, thus provoking multiple arrests.
• The Occupy Chicago group spent the day yesterday trying to outmaneuver the Chicago Police Department in order to raid the hotel where the American Mortgage Bankers Association was meeting.
• The Occupy Atlanta group refused to let Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), a hero of the civil rights movement, address its members.
• What does the Occupy Wall Street movement want? Brian Phillips, the group's spokesman, recently told NPR, "My political goal is the overthrow of the government." You can hear it for yourself here, about three minutes into the story. That may explain why the Communist Party USA is also on board with the Occupy Wall Street movement. To the GOP candidates debating tonight: You will be asked what you think of this riff-raff. Don't be mealy-mouthed! Take them on! They do not speak for middle America.

The DCCC's action is just the latest example of the liberal establishment embracing this movement of anarchists and socialists. But here's a note to the DCCC: People who beat on bongos, urinate in parks and worse may be your loyal activists, but they are not the American Middle Class!
