"On his program this afternoon, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the protests in Downtown Manhattan calling themselves Occupy Wall Street," Ology reported on Thursday. "He quoted an anonymous friend when he said that it is possible that the White House was behind the protests to some degree and claimed that the Obama Administration wanted to foment riots to advance an anti-corporatist agenda." (My emphasis) MORE
Please take note that Orin Hatch didn't state that the Wall Street Protests could turn into riots, he stated that the protests would turn into riots. Does Senator Hatch know something that the rest of us don't know? Are GOP "Agent Provocateurs" being trained and deployed throughout the country even as I'm writing this Op-Ed?
Finally, Rand Paul chimed-in with one of the most absurd charges I've seen to date, excepting the last one illustrated below that takes the cake for GOP insensitivity and downright contempt for America's working class:
Rand Paul: Obama inflaming "Occupy Wall Street' mob
By Eric W. Dolan
Thursday, October 6, 2011
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky on Fox Business warned Thursday that the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in New York City could become violent thanks, in part, to President Barack Obama.
"As far as this Occupy Wall Street movement goes, you know I see it sort of like a Paris mob," he said. "I see the president's rhetoric of envy inflaming the public."Sen. Paul said he "hoped" that the "Parisian mob" that Obama was inflaming didn't result in "lawlessness" where protesters looted iPhones, "because rich people don't deserve to have them." (My emphasis) MORE
Rand Paul has demonstrated that he too is clueless, or of a greater probability, in the pockets of the Koch Brothers and other Corporate contributors that support his position of fascism and authoritarian rule. The above quotes and rhetoric are obviously attempts to demonize the protestors and create a climate of fear, distrust, and paranoia among their various constituents. When you send out a message to thousands, or perhaps millions of your supporters that their "freedom" is being endangered by the current multi-city protests, the probability for counter-protests, agent provocateurs, and violence becomes close to an inevitability. (IMO) Now, let's get to one individual that insulted the millions of people who are currently out of work and demonstrated why it is necessary to rid ourselves of individuals that hold the majority of American Society in contempt and yet hold positions of power in our own government. For this OP-Ed, Herman Cain receives our award for being one of the most arrogant, insensitive bastards that we're ever witnessed in the political arena - and from the radical-right, this ignoramus actually receives cheers and applause:
Herman Cain to Occupy Wall Street protesters: If you're not rich 'blame yourself'
BY Aliyah Shahid
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Unemployed Wall Street protesters only have themselves to blame for lacking a job, so says Herman Cain.
The Republican presidential candidate insisted that the demonstrations were being "orchestrated" to help President Obama.
"I don't have the facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama Administration," Cain told the Wall Street Journal.
The Tea Party favorite then argued that the plight of the unemployed was their own fault.
"Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded, it is someone's fault if they failed," the ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO declared. MUCH MORE
Unfortunately, the above article and quotes were not the only example of Herman Cain displaying his ignorance and revulsion for Main Street Americans. In The State Column we found more of Cain's propaganda and disgust with Main Street America, and from what we have been reading, Herman Cain may be one of the most self-serving SOB's that we've ever seen who has a misbegotten fantasy/belief that he could ever be voted-in as President of The United States:
"Pizza magnate and GOP candidate Herman Cain slammed the Occupy Wall Street protests on Sunday. During an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer, Cain slammed the Occupy Wall Street protests as "anti-American" and "anti-capitalism." "I don't have a lot of patience for people who want to protest the success of somebody else," Cain said.
Cain defended his use of the terms "anti-American" and "anti-capitalism" to describe the Occupy Wall Street protests: "The free market system and capitalism are the two things that have allowed this nation and this economy to become the biggest in the world."
Cain defended his disgust for the Occupy Wall Street protests by illustrating his upbringing. "My parents, they never played the victim card. My parents never said that we hope the rich people lose something so that we can get something," Cain said. (my emphasis) MUCH MORE
Mr. Cain, we don't envy your wealth, and if you made it in business, good for you. But, since you brought up your success as Godfather's CEO, don't forget to mention to the American people that you were the CEO of a company that didn't have labor unions to contend with, health insurance for low-level employees, most of whom work for minimum wage, and the Godfather model of using the very bottom of the labor base often makes managing that type of corporation far easier than to be the CEO of a corporation that actually takes a modicum of intelligence and creative thinking. In Herman Cain's respect, I believe that he is the epitome of the Peter Principle and while he may have been successful - I doubt that he was anything more than a figure-head - good for business and Godfather's Corporate image - but if ever elected President, an unmitigated disaster for the United States.
A Message For All Of The Protesters Throughout The United States
1. Main Street America, which encompasses tens of millions of people are watching and applauding your efforts. Most of us wish we could be there, and while we may not be there in body, know that you are being supported in spirit by those whom you represent, by the Alternative and International media here and in other nations that recognize our nation's hypocrisy in regard peaceful protests that develop in our own country. As these protests grow and arrive at our respective cities, know that we will then be there and stand in solidarity in one of the first true grassroots movements that has materialized when many of us believed that our nation's citizens had forgotten how to bring about change through an American tradition - peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and general strikes.
2. Be careful, hold your ground, and above all, remain wary of anyone that begins to spew violent rhetoric that pretends to be part of the protest. All through our history there has been evidence of Agent Provocateurs who have infiltrated peaceful protests ever since I can remember, and as always, their goal is to discredit the protesters and the cause(s) they are supporting, and if you aren't exercising extreme caution, filming those whom you believe may be GOP Plants and other Agent Provocateurs, the specter of violence and the unintended consequences of riots will remain to be one of your most significant obstacles. Historically speaking, whenever we see the GOP attempting to rally their base and incite fear, distrust, and claims that their freedom is in jeopardy, it is in preparation for their hidden agenda, and that's to discredit these protests using any and all dirty tricks and subterfuge they can muster. Knowing that, and their history for corruption and downright criminality, take their rhetoric at face value; it has no basis in fact, it is highly inflammatory, and adding-up these facts reveals a recognizable pattern by those who do hate our liberty and freedom - The GOP's radical and anti-American Congressmen who are in office to protect Corporate America and Wall Street's dirty tricks - not the average American.
