Marxist ‘Occupy DC’ Protesters Hold Anti-Capitalist Rally at Chamber of Commerce (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, October 6, 2011, 4:03 PM
They Don’t Want Jobs – They Want Revolution
Marxists, union officials, Code Pink leaders, and far left loons held a rally against capitalism today at the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters in Washington DC. The protesters don’t like the kind of jobs created by Chamber of Commerce members in a free society.
That’s Marxist Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin speaking to the protesters from the stage.
And, what a coincidence… Here, Barack Obama came out today and supported the protesters and attacked banks right along with them. You’d almost think this whole movement was planned by the White House?
Hmm.

It seems that the majority of this crowd are twenty-somethings.
Well, I don’t give a damn what any dumb-ass kid thinks about politics or finance or foreign policy.
This generation is particularly clueless, as most of them have been coddled their entire youth, and have acquired NO work ethic.
And fie on the lib media for egging them on.

Time to mock the mindless lefties (but I repeat myself) again as Lennon so brilliantly did:
You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright?
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well you know
we’d all love to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright

And we accept this traitor as President…why?

Not far away…

So let me get this straight.
First Obama and marxists FORCE banks to do things which banks don’t want to do because it is bad business for them.
Then when banks do what the marxists forced them to do,
the marxists send their hoodlums destroy the banks for doing it ?
The latest example being the $5 debit card fee by BofA.
BofA was not charging for using the debit card.
Then Durbin came up with his hare-brained idea.
Now BofA wants to charge for debit card use,
and Obama’s useless idiots are ” protesting” BofA ??
Does it even make any sense anymore ?
exceller commented:
we’ve got to start tying this directly to Obama and all democrats, since it’s being orchestrated by them. Obama’s Wallstreet mob, or something to that effect. Like how they call republicans tea party republicans, we need to have something like that. Marxist mob democrats.?
we need to also start talking about how this mob has hijacked the democratic party and moved it to the far left. marxist terrorists have taken the democratic party hostage. no?

Eventually the media will figure out that their encouragement of these morons through the attention they’re giving them is backfiring against their leftist agenda, as will oscumbag. They really do look like ignorant miscreants to most Americans. I don’t know if oscumbag generated this or the operatives running his useful idiot support groups got it going. His speaking out in solidarity with them may just be a reflection of his desperation to show his base he stands with them, or his operatives may be acting on directive from the oscumbag campaign. Either way, he looks like he always does – anti-America, commie, anti-business, anti-common sense, anti-productivity, radical extremist, the list goes on and we all know the elements of that list. All he’s doing is alienating middle America. Middle class Americans understand the concept of investment and that capital is needed for that. They also know that forced outcomes are an unrealistic goal that the government should not be in the business of guaranteeing outcomes and designating who can earn money and who can’t. They also know that their retirement funds are invested with these investments and that these protestors are wholly unrealistic and childish. If oscumbag wants to hitch his wagon to that train, good!!
Freddy commented:
I kinda feel sorry for the few that started the protest in New York. They are really being tossed under the bus.
They have now officially been replaced by MAJOR Obama donors. I wonder if anyone will mention the Code Pink people that were at that 35k plate Obama fund raiser last year in SF just before the election?
The big Obama money is now funding these protests directly.

Andrew X commented:
I wondered into this having no idea that this was going on today. The march on the Chamber was by about 100 people tops, while about 300 remained behind in Freedom Plaza. This report was at about 2:30, and the whole thing, Plaza and all, was pretty much over by 3:45. There were a number of people there who were middle-aged, funny thing, I couldn’t help but notice that they all had that “look”. Not the manginess of the tweeny set, and they were by damn mangy, virtually 100%, but just that form of dress and presence that unrepentant middle-aged lefties seem to naturally have.
I loved walking among them with my headphones on, listening to Rush and Hannity on WMAL at the time. Heh.
It occurred to me that, if these protests grow or persist, that itself may do them no favors. Consider the present and past in two year (House term) increments, and three elective branches of government, House, Senate, and White House. Two times three is six. During Obama’s term, Democrats controlled five out of the six and still these loonies are out there. So when they return to the streets after 2012 to blame Republicans for everything, it will already be established that they will protest essentially no matter what. And that will be obvious to all.

Obama is nothing more than a Socialist and Anarchist wet dream come true. A president goes on national TV and encourages mass demonstrations and braking the law. And the Congress sets on their a$$’s and does nothing, I have a suggestion but feel pretty sure the lawless AO sitting in the Justice Department would suddenly become concerned about the law.

I have no doubt that this type of thing will continue until the elections, and after the elections (If the idiot in WH isn’t re-elected).
This is just right up his alley (and his like-minded sycophants) as a community organizer…….what do you think a community organizer does? This type stuff. That’s what you get when a communist-sympathizer (Van Jones, et al) is elected to office. A foothold……
“1. The Purpose
In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace…. “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.’ This means revolution.” p.3″

I can’t see how Obama thinks this is going to help him. These radical types always go too far with their “protests”, spewing verbal and physical filth everywhere. I can’t see hard-working (or unemployed) middle class people approving of people behaving that way.
It’s very upsetting to see it spreading, tho. As my old grandfather used to say “Damn the Bolsheviki! Damn the anarchisti!” Yes, damn them.
Obama is the worst, most divisive person I have ever seen in presidency since I started watching in the early 60′s. His one natural talent seems to be sowing hatred and division. His sole instinct seems to be malice. God preserve us and our precious country.

Are you telling us that if you are a citizen of the United States of America in the People’s Republic of California and get into an accident or caught drunk driving your car will be impounded but if you are an ILLEGAL ALIEN with no right to be here at all you get off scott free and get to keep your car? Since when do illegals have not just “equal” rights but MORE rights? That’s outrageous! No wonder California is advertising all over the country trying to get people to move there.

Can you imagine the education of these yutes being funded by our taxpayer monies?? From Berkeley to Madison, we have a whole wave of ignorant kids and grannies from the ’30′s-60′s mentality crowds hating free enterprise while they have I-Pads, phones, TV and fast cars. Wow. Just what we need. And the MSM just goes along thinking that these kids are ‘all right’ and just idealists. Yikes: with Mao-Lenin-Castro-Che in their eyes, these are useful idiots.
greenfairie commented:
Of course this is orchestrated by the White House.
Obama’s radical friends know he has no record to run on and more scandals are popping up every day. The 2008 days of Greek columns, German rallies, and Shepard Fairey posters are over. They have lost independents and like hell will they get a single Republican vote. They’re despairing that their base–blacks, 20 nothings, dependents, Latinos, Jewish voters–will stay home on election day. So how to fire up the masses?
Don’t get them to vote FOR Obama but to vote AGAINST the Haves. It fills me with utter contempt and disgust they would set one group of citizens against another this brazenly to win an election and stay in power, but that’s exactly what they are doing. They will make the upper middle class, the wealthy, business owners, bankers and other financial biz types, CEOs, Republicans, libertarians, Tea Partiers, etc. scapegoats, just as the Nazis made the Jews their scapegoats in the 1930s. Yeah, I went there. But it’s only because it’s the truth. Obama and his cronies are stoking unrest, violence, or even civil war, to hold on to power.
atticcellar commented:
Obama is not attacking the “BANK” ei: foreign owned “FED”. His attacks are against the little home town banks that have nothing to do with the derivatives ponzi scheme that are being perpetrated by the “Big Boys” ei: Goldman Sacks, Citibank of America, RBS, Chase, etc.. Obama as well as all Republicans being pushed on the American people by the msm alphabet soup networks, are sellouts to these criminal banksters. End the FED.. End the wars.. Ron Paul.. 2012

This whole thing is just one massive misdirection operation, and don’t think for a moment that this is not being orchestrated. It is designed to keep the spotlight off the Communists who created the mess, to create chaos, and to advance their agenda.

It’s almost as if even Obama’s incompetence is intentional. Make no mistake, though, the legions of Satan, whether it be islam or socialism, are on the loose. Question is, when will the productive begin to take matters in their own hands and dispatch with them all? It is actually the duty of the rest of us to stop the nonsense. Failure to do so is cowardice, malignant indifference, and a direct message to the filth out there that they can continue to behave like vermin with impunity. We stood by and watched them in the ’60′s and ’70′s, we should have learned that putting up with this nonsense did no one any good.

Hmmm. Maxine Waters says Tea Party can “Go Straight to Hell” Tea party folks were concerned about national debt. Too much spending. Worried about Washington’s breakaway spending habits. Those tea party extremists! Un-American. Astro-turfers.
Pelosi says “God Bless ‘em” on the occupy wall streeters. They are protesting people on Wall Street making too much money. Patriotic folks. Obama says they are just frustrated and making their points known. Really?
Here’s the point of Liberals:
If you’re worrying about too much debt=you are a bad guy
If you’re worrying about someone else making alot more money than you= you’re a good guy
Here’s the real point:
If you believe the propaganda coming out of the WH, you are an idiot.

They live in the richest country in the world where opportunity abounds relative to the rest of the world. No its not easy but its a helluva lot more difficult almost anywhere else. How would they like to compete with 800 million chinese to earn a living in an economy less than half the size of our own…The degree of difficulty goes up exponentially with magnitudes of increase in population…In other words, the pie gets sliced that much more…

S. Wolf commented:
Code Pink just happens to show up like they did in Egypt.. like they just happen to be major supporters of bin Obama.
‘As the cliche goes, there are no coincidences in politics. Obama fundraiser group Code Pink just happened to have arrived in Cairo last week for the group’s ninth visit there in two years as part of its campaign to undermine the Mubarak government and help Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza.
Code Pink and the media are trying to portray the leftist group’s “sudden” appearance in Cairo Wednesday as an act of courageous support for a democratic revolution. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Code Pink has a well-documented history of working to overthrow American allies while propping up anti-American leftist governments and terrorist regimes.
In fact, the group was founded in late 2002 to help keep the socialist Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein in power. Code Pink even traveled to Baghdad in February 2003 as guests of the tyrannical terrorist to lobby the world to keep Saddam Hussein in power.’
Obama, Code Pink and Egypt: ‘There Are No Coincidences in Politics’
Did I see the word ‘socialist’? Yup.
‘During the socialist experiment in Egypt, where I grew up, in every speech the revolutionary dictator, Gamal Abdel Nasser, would fly into a rage against what he called the corrupt rich, large owners of agricultural land and the big companies, robbing the wealth from the poor Egyptian people.
Nasser nationalized all the companies and banks; and limited ownership of the land to a few acres per family. Private enterprise was virtually gone, limited to just little stores and apartment buildings. But then even the owners of apartment buildings were demonized as greedy, and Nasser punished them by introducing severe rent control. Rents were sometimes cut by more than 400%, and stayed at that level for life. The result was that buildings were virtually abandoned by their owners, who could no longer afford to maintain them; many neighborhoods turned into slums. As no one built rental buildings any more, there was a horrific shortage of apartments for rent. In a few years, two — then three –families started living together in one apartment; some of the poor people Nasser said he loved made cemeteries their homes.
Several years after pitting the rich against the poor, everyone in Egypt became poor. Even people who had previously enjoyed money struggled to survive — Except for the political class.
The president, his family, his cronies, his cabinet and military leaders became the new rich class, as well as the major employers for everyone, as unemployment was rampant everywhere else. The sons and relatives of the Egyptian president cruised around Cairo in expensive foreign cars while 95% of Egyptians stuffed themselves uncomfortably into publicly-owned buses.
Every time I listen to the president ranting against the rich millionaires and billionaires, I ask myself how educated people in America can be fooled by such rhetoric. Advocating a socialist agenda — while denying that it is socialist — is what the administration and his supporters are doing. They are being dishonest, to say the least, about what they believe.
The worst governments are those that hide and deny their true intentions, like my life in Muslim countries, where the leaders secretly guard their true intentions with their lives, while always publicly denying who they really are.’
Advocating Socialism While Denying You Are Socialist
Why.. that describes Hussein, who knew.
The truth hurts commented:
Somebody has to confront this ‘Medea’ bitch. She’s got to be very wealthy to always be all over the country and constantly in the spotlight. She doesn’t have a job. She travels ALL the time.. Which everyone knows is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Why is it always filthy rich, spoiled brats like her that call for a totalitarian socialist state? Does she not realize that she’ll be the first to have her property taken and her put through a wood chipper if somehow her dreams of communism come true? If it does, at least we’ll be entertained with woodchipper parties. Not all will be lost.
I think she dreams of being a top member of the new elite ruling class should her allies be successful in destroying the economy. People like her all have these dreams.. and they should be called on it
She should be tried for treason for her actions with Hamas. She’s tried on many occasions to make political ‘promises’ on behalf of Obama… And was laughed out of the room.. even by Hamas
S. Wolf commented:
The truth hurts
Did top Nazi officials and their families and friends suffer economically when Hitler came to power? No, they gained.
‘ “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” –Adolf Hitler
(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)’
There’s that word ‘socialist’ again. Nazism, Communism, Marxism, it makes no difference.. it is all anti-Capitalism and anti-freedom. And once they are in power it will be you and me and every other ‘enemy of the state’ who will be put through woodchippers so to speak not the friends and families of the regime.
