The Breitbart ‘Ambiguous Entity of the Year’: The Tent of the Unknown Rapist
by Andrew BreitbartI am pleased to announce the winner of the First Annual Breitbart “Ambiguous Entity of the Year” award.
Our choice was inspired by the most under-reported story of the year: the dark side of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which the media attempted to hide.
From its origins, the Occupy movement has been riddled by rapes, sexual assaults, and countless other serious crimes–many of which were not reported to police because Occupy organizers understood that public police reports and media dispatches about crimes would hurt the movement’s image.
And, as one Occupier noted, “This is a battle over images, not just over the park.”
Had the Tea Party been ravaged by rapes, rampant drug use, vandalism, or assaults, those crimes would not only have been over-reported, they would have stopped the Tea Party in its tracks.
The mainstream media did its best to invent Tea Party misdeeds–imaginary “N-words” and all–where none existed. Prominent celebrities, athletes—even conservative ones, who support the Tea Party’s aims—have kept a low profile in the Tea Party for fear of being judged by the mainstream media’s double standard.
Yet the media-savvy, media-embraced Occupy movement used shout-outs from President Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, rap impresario Russell Simmons, Alec Baldwin, Kanye West, Susan Sarandon, Roseanne Barr, Sean Lennon, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Tim Robbins, and Anne Hathaway to hide what was really going on at the makeshift encampments.
Media coverage was initially so soft and selectively laudatory on behalf of Occupy that Disney teeny-bopper Miley Cyrus even lent the movement “Liberty Walk,” an over-produced saccharine dance protest song dedicated “to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in.”
Occupy is so protectively sealed by the media powers-that-be Billy Ray Cyrus’s red state-bred and highly managed “1%” offspring saw little downside to jumping on the “99%” bandwagon.
Image is everything.
That is why the “The Tent of the Unknown Rapist” wins the First Annual Breitbart “Ambiguous Entity of the Year.”
Thankfully, new media exposed the reality behind Occupy, and in key cities run by Democratic mayors—in particular, New York City, Oakland, and Los Angeles—Occupy was shut down because its promise, manufactured by and played up by the old media, was overshadowed by the grotesque and awful realities exposed by the new media.
In an extensive Occupy rap sheet, there are 11 incidents of rape and sexual assault at Occupy encampments that we know of:
1. Occupy Cleveland Protester Alleges She Was Raped by Tent-Mate
2. Dallas Police Investigate Rape of 14-Year-Old by Adult Occupier
3. Woman Gang Raped in Occupy Tent at Glasgow George Square Protest
4. Sexual Assault Reported at Occupy Lawrence, KS
5. Man Arrested for Rape of 45 Year-Old at Occupy Philly
6. Zuccotti Park Occupier Claims She Was Sexually Assaulted in Tent…
7. …Claims Another Rape Occurred Weeks Earlier, Occupiers Didn’t Report
8. Woman Says She Was Raped at Occupy Baltimore
9. 23-Year-Old Woman Raped at Occupy Philadelphia
10. Woman Reports She Was Raped at Occupy St. Louis
11. Woman Says Deaf Man Raped at Occupy Camp
The mainstream media’s ignoring of the rapes, their neglect of the trend of sexual assaults, and their refusal to show the video of Occupy spokespeople expressing concern over the inherent dangers at Occupy encampments—especially at media-blanketed Zuccotti Park in the middle of lower Manhattan—speaks to the intensity of the mainstream media’s primal need to protect its manufactured movement.
From the beginning, Occupy Wall Street was a huge progressive political Lollapalooza, an operation supported by unions and Democrats, planned and coordinated by career anarchists, and populated by students and fellow travelers. It quickly descended into a circus, a freak show, and a crime scene. The Breitbart sites actively chose to do what the mainstream media refused to do: hyper-focus on what was really going on. In so doing, we stumbled upon proof that key members of the media—including the New York Times, MSNBC, and Rolling Stone—were acting as public relations strategists and provocateurs on behalf of the Occupy movement.
There’s your “Story of the Year,” Time Magazine.
The Obama campaign, the Democratic Party, and the media colluded in an attempt to create class war in America in the pursuit of getting President Obama re-elected and ending the momentum of limited government conservatism as embodied in the Tea Party. Occupy’s crimes were committed by members of a movement whose goal was to neutralize the power of the Tea Party. And killing the Tea Party to keep the Democrats and President Obama afloat is now the mainstream media’s number one objective—by any means necessary.
The first proof of media coordination emerged in an email archive obtained by the Breitbart sites. It showed that MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan and Rolling Stone political editor Matt Taibbi had participated in a private group email chain with Occupy’s behind-the-scenes organizers—the bulk of whom are anarchists, socialists, communists, and anti-Israel activists, along with sundry international rabble-rousers of all stripes. Ratigan and Taibbi advised the nascent movement on its message and how to grow the group effectively to be a left-wing version of the Tea Party.
The email chain revealed the involvement of the usual suspects behind many international socialist and anarchist driven protests, including anti-WTO, anti-G8, and anti-G15 events; the people behind the manufactured Cindy Sheehan “Camp Casey” occupation outside of President George W. Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch; and even the “GOP Welcoming Committee” group that rioted against the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. The latter featured the arrests of key participants tied to Occupy organizer Lisa Fithian, who are now in federal prison for a botched plan to use Molotov cocktails on the GOP delegates and the police protecting them.
The mainstream media, which are promoting Occupy in their year-end wrap-ups, will not connect these basic dots. Instead they choose to ignore the dots and attack those who point them out. The key struggle in America today is over the narrative: on one side the old media (New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, CNN, Time, Newsweek), and on the other side the new media. The latter is a samizdat amalgam of independent blogs, talk radio shows, Fox News, and social media like Twitter and Facebook which have helped to make the samizdat drumbeat louder. They are forcing old media to acquiesce and are further exposing that media’s obvious biases while further dwindling old media’s former captive audience.
While the media struggle over Occupy was under way, Natasha Lennard was covering the Occupy movement for the New York Times. Her arrest, along with that of hundreds of other activists on the Brooklyn Bridge, helped instigate the first wave of mass media coverage of Occupy Wall Street. The police who were to be targeted as the bad guys, per the Ratigan/Tabbi “September 17” email group, were castigated for arresting a Times reporter. Only that Times reporter, we discovered, was gleefully working with core Occupy organizers, as shown in the left wing Bluestockings bookstore panel discussion where Lennard and her pal Malcolm Harris from the radical leftist magazine Jacobin openly bragged about their involvement organizing (not objectively covering) Occupy.
Our reports from Lee Stranahan resulted in the Times distancing itself from Lennard, who no longer writes for them, and Lennard writing a piece in the leftist online magazine Salon in which she basically came clean. Subsequently, we tied together how Lennard, back when she was with the Times, helped coordinate another media manipulation (to go along with the Brooklyn Bridge arrest). On that occasion, she retweeted her pal Harris’s stunt claim that Radiohead was to play at Zuccotti Park.
The activist left-manufactured and mainstream media-enabled Occupy Wall Street movement was predestined for “greatness” from its “Astroturf” beginning. None of these stories of mainstream media manipulation made the traditional media, of course. But the new media works–and through social media, YouTube, talk radio, and blogs, Americans basically got the message: the media elite were completely in on the manufacturing of the left’s counter-Tea Party.
More and more Americans every day and every week begin to see how the media manipulates in big and obnoxious ways as a means of controlling the narrative. When Time gave “Person of the Year” to Barack Obama in 2008, it was as pre-ordained and as necessary to creating the correct narrative as Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize was in 2009. Both were granted to him before he had scored any accomplishments other than getting elected to the presidency. Both were meant to boost his reputation and grant him the power to push a left-of-center domestic agenda while pursuing an Oslo-certified “internationalist” foreign policy.
President-elect Obama visits the Washington Post (Jan. 2009)
The “Story of the Year” and “Person of the Year” designations—not only at Time, but at many other media outlets—appear clunkier and clunkier every year as a new generation of news consumers becomes more sophisticated media critics.
Media is everything, I say over and over, because it is. Newt Gingrich fought his way back in the GOP primaries by taking on the agenda-setting partisan media. That’s how powerful the battle is: consumers are so sick of the media bullying presented blatantly falsely as “objective” and “neutral” that they’ll side with a candidate simply for stating the obvious and treating those journalists in as hostile a fashion as the journalists treat the candidates, and especially the voters.
New media is the biggest threat to the old media order. Generations of entrenched opinion-makers are under constant attack by the power of the Internet to provide individual citizens with all the tools necessary to tell stories that the elite media have long refused to report, and for media critics to call out the dying elite media class that refuses to adapt to the new egalitarian terrain.
Two-plus years of Tea Party electoral successes and conservative new media counter-narrative victories demanded that the “Democrat-media complex”—the natural alliance of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media—fight back. The Occupy movement is that fight. Occupy is not just a battle to maintain the political status quo of the welfare state. It is also a war to secure the media mavens of Manhattan in their role as arbiters of the public trust.
The mainstream media’s sins of omission—not reporting the Occupy movement’s origins in radical anarchist, communist, socialist, pro-Intifada, and pro-jihadi groups; not reporting the media’s own infrastructural support and advice-giving to Occupy; and not reporting the vast amount of criminality and juvenile anti-authoritarianism at Occupy demonstrations—led to the inevitable Time Magazine “Story of the Year” honors (“Occupy Wall Street Protests Spread”) one week and the abstract designation as “Person of the Year” (in the form of “The Protester”) the next.
That “protester” also represented the “Arab Spring” dissenters and Russian’s anti-Putin revolutionaries, but those were the “best supporting” protesters, cast in order to grant a leading role to American-based “Occupy” for a second week in the end-of-the-year media wrap-up racket that is one of the last vestiges of old media agenda-setting power, and which is used brazenly to re-write recent history.
Astute readers will notice that the one-month-long Anthony Weiner mega-political scandal was missing from the year-end lists. But history will not be re-written by the old guard. The real protester of the year is the individual—the thousands of individuals—who have taken to new media journalism as a form of protest against the “journalists.”
New media is a protest. And bloggers of a conservative, libertarian, or Tea Party stripe are the most successful protesters of our time. The fact that the Tea Party is still around, and Anthony Weiner isn’t, is a testament to the new media. For the old media to get its groove back, they needed a mass movement that it could call its own and which could be convinced to bring back the old order. But the smoke and mirrors, the giving out of free subscriptions, and the end-of-the-year lies are not working.
The Tent of the Unknown Rapist is the symbol of the failure of the old media to adapt to a more pluralistic and egalitarian media world. In trying to create and protect the Occupy movement, the dying progressive movement, the imploding Democratic Party and the crumbling Obama administration, the mainstream media are the big losers in 2011.

Generations of entrenched opinion-makers are under constant attack by the power of the Internet to provide individual citizens with all the tools necessary to tell stories that the elite media have long refused to report, and for media critics to call out the dying elite media class that refuses to adapt to the new egalitarian terrain.
Two-plus years of Tea Party electoral successes and conservative new media counter-narrative victories demanded that the “Democrat-media complex”—the natural alliance of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media—fight back. The Occupy movement is that fight. Occupy is not just a battle to maintain the political status quo of the welfare state. It is alsoa war to secure the media mavens of Manhattan in their role as arbiters of the public trust.
The mainstream media’s sins of omission—not reporting what the Occupy movement’s origins in radical anarchist, communist, socialist, pro-Intifada, and pro-jihadi groups; not reporting the media’s own infrastructural support and advice-giving to Occupy; and not reporting the vast amount of criminality and juvenile anti-authoritarianism at Occupy demonstrations—led to the inevitable Time Magazine “Story of the Year” [Occupy Wall Street] honors one week, and the abstract designation as “Person of the Year”—in the form of “The Protester”—the next.
That “protester” also represented the “Arab Spring” dissenters and Russian’s anti-Putin revolutionaries–but those were the “best supporting” protesters, cast in order to grant a leading role to American-based “Occupy” for a second week in the end-of-the-year media wrap-up racket that is one of the last vestiges of old media agenda-setting power, and which is used brazenly to re-write recent history.
Astute readers will notice that the one-month long Anthony Weiner mega-political scandal was missing from the year-end lists. But history will not be re-written by the old guard. The real protestor of the year is the individual—the thousands of individuals–who have taken to new media journalism as a form of protest against “the journalists.”
New media is a protest. And bloggers of a conservative, libertarian or Tea Party stripe are the most successful protesters of our time. The fact that the Tea Party is still around, and Anthony Weiner isn’t, is a testament to the new media. For the old media to get its groove back, they will need a mass movement that it can call its own and which can be convinced to bring back the old order. But the smoke and mirrors, the giving out of free subscriptions, and the end-of-the-year lies are not working.
The Tent of the Unknown Rapist is the symbol of the failure of the old media to adapt to a more pluralistic and egalitarian media world. In trying to create and protect the Occupy movement, the dying progressive movement, the imploding Democratic Party and the crumbling Obama administration, the mainstream media are the big losers in 2011.
Just like they were in 2010, 2009, 2008…

Long live the Bigs!
OCCUPY was, is and will ever be democrat communistic scum. Apologies in advance to generic scum, taking offense at the comparison.
Yes!
Great article. 2012 is going to be a crazy year in America.
I have a feeling things are going to get very ugly.
Have a safe and prosperous new year, Andy…
Thank you, for fighting the good fight, my friend…
….eventually old media will just be another taxpayer subsidized business because it is a dying cause put up by the left as news
Pravda of the West……
Information is power.
Great article
This year was just a trial run…..
Note: It's Alec Baldwin not Alex Baldwin.
It is an insult to Alex's everywhere to use that name.
Andrew is spot on with this post!
This is one of you best articles yet Andrew!
Thank you for your tireless dedication and unswerving courage to expose the true orchestrators of the "occupy" movement. Conservatives and Libertarians are now the real revolutionaries fighting against a corrupt government and their henchmen in the mainstream media and in academia.
Keep up the great work Andrew and never surrender for your cause is just and right!
Obama told me too much information is dangerous…
It seems to me that at some point in the future the Lame Stream Media will sober up from the love drunk they have been on over Obama. How much more can they demonstrate their clear biases for this liberal bunch corrupt, Marxist, demoRATS before the American public turns on them? Maybe we already have. If we can keep the election clean the conservatives should win. Let’s just hope the cheaters don’t find a way to rig this election!
He is right to much information is dangerous because it will lead people to think for themselves and not rely on people like the lead Chuckle Head.
The Big Push for the Dirt People aka OWS will come at the Conventions and right up to Election Day. Then All of America will see them for Who and What they truly are. Fine Article.
"It quickly descended into a circus, a freak show, and a crime scene." – Breitbart
….As did the Obumbler presidency – Bowing to Dictators, Czar Van Jones, Solyndra, Fast & Furious….etc.
Excellent article. Thanks for putting it all together. The OWS movement of 2011was nothing more than a warm up, a preview of things to come. 2012 is going to be a difficult year for folks trying to separate truth from BS. The insane left will do anything to reelect their inept, divisive, mean spirited, sniveling, whiny, sissy snitch, commie pinko. It's up to the new media to expose their agendas and set the record straight. Thanks for the Bigs.
The "old media" should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The effort to suppress real news and create heroes from the dregs of society should make them more qualified than Oblahblah.
@DEFAULT ESTABLISHMENT SELLOUT —
meet the self proclaimed 'new' media same as the old.
For those of that pay attention your biases are clear and on display.
This is not new media this is a BLOG.
Pat yourself on the back disperse meaningless awards that none will really care about except a few dozen dedicated commentators very similar to the old media in that respect.
Stop SOPA or say goodbye to the truth tellers!
The socialists will lie, cheat, and steal the elections if at all possible. That is their methodology.
……And yet here YOU are, Big-Assender, spending your time with us….heh
No, it's Arrek Bawrrwin.
yup, that's the idea..
it dam sure ain't about piracy of Hollwierd junk media..
Gotta get the scoop somewhere……
this is a feel good story. They skip hard hitting issues like holder on the in congress last to cite an one quick example.
Here is the corrupt AG before congress getting grilled likely perjuring himself and the video or testimony is neither posted or written on. It is a fallacy for AB to claim new media when clear he is Next Generation Establishment/dinosaur media.
I get it from the out let that broke Fast and furious months and months before 'new' media did. That is http://www.infowars.com/
The Tea Party rallies are going to come back bigger and more civilized than these Occutards! Time for Obama and his marxist playground pals to go.
"You finish your all of your Breibart — There are journalists in Mainstream Media starving for attention."
Moms know best.
This morning they were protesting in a Tucson park…while drinking $5 lattes.
Oh, I get it.
You'se wunna them inbreds who hate the ZOG machine, aint'cha?
Stupid bitch.
wtf. no man I am smart enough tom read government documents on public servers and read court filings.
I THINK FOR MY SELF.
Hoax and Criminals. Obama approves!
Then you have nothing to worry bout …right?
Me thinks you protest too much.
You reek of fear
Time will prove Mr. Breitbart correct. The Old dead media took the red pill and will continue on their way deceiving, eventually no one but themselves will take them seriously.
The last rattling death gasps of a has been, irrelevant source of information is cause for celebration. It cannot happen soon enough. Death to the Old media,
Viva Los Bigs!!
The Holder debacle hasn't even begun. Darrell Issa will begin the final assault later in January, and then you will have your news story. Journalists around the world are enjoying the Holidays, and preparing for the wildest year in America ever. Grist for the mill will include Holder, OWS riots, two key Supreme Court decisions, NLRB appointees, and a host of other juicy issues.
It was here I read the transcripts between the lying POS Holder and Issa.
WTF you talking about? Better you use a search engine and then apologize for you ineptitude.
http://biggovernment.co
There, that took all of 30 seconds. Get outta here douche bag.
Alex Jones and infowars.com are sometimes right. We get it. Hell, I even think he does good historical research (like on colonial piracy), and that he makes engaging documentaries (like the one on Darwin and his 3-family in-breeding experiment).
Now, can y'all please stop acting so bat-$^%+ crazy? You do your side an extreme disservice by spouting off with the prototypical conspiracy theorist crap against the independent- and Tea-Party-aligned conservatives that otherwise might be on your side on a few issues.
(Plus, how can you be suspicious about every member of the government, but not be suspicious of a guy that is selling stock footage compilations for $20?)
OOOOOOOO look! someone from Obama's Office of the Director of Progressive Media and Online Response has joined us.
Info Wars? Geez do we get to hear about the big bad Illuminati now?
Occupy?
In sheer volume of incidents, maybe.
But as far as consequences, OWS does not compare with Fast & Furious, or the complete corruption and politicization of the DOJ, DOE, EPA, etc, etc – all of which have been at least as carefully concealed from the public by the MSM Palace Guards.
Mr. Breitbart,
I think in some ways you have it right, in others wrong. When you consider they idea of rape, murder and theft how do you seperate those from the ideals and principles that were driving the OWS movement. The idea of taking what you want and not considering ownership as an individual right. These acts shouldn't be considered abnormal for someone who holds the beliefs the OWS movement holds.
"I THINK FOR MY SELF. "
Because Alex Jones told you so, eh?
Your whole argument is based on a false premise. The average Tea Partier is old white and male (Breitbart?) while the occupier is young multi-racial and equally represented by both sexes (Me?). Like comparing President Johnson to Abbie Hoffman!
Reeeetard alert!
The MSM is an expert in yellow journalism – and this kind of media attention given to end of the year awards – is just another way to keep the OWS alive in the public eye. Did you read about the quote of the year (as one example of OWS promotion") from AP?
The media picks it's stories carefully to create a narrative – that it seeks to amplify. If you remember, SNL destroyed Palin. Each weekend SNL would dehumanize Palin, and religiously, the MSM would go to great lengths to cover the attacks.
In itself none of these stories are worthy of news – they are just a way to advocate for the DNC without appearing to advocate.
Are you insinuating that the Occupy movement is a rape-fest because it has more blacks in it?
Hi ZMB. Made another sock-puppet to cover the banning of your original?
Yep, it's ZMB, one of our resident anti-Semite/InfoWars/Ron Paul nutcases.
Well when your ideology is to look up to a failed system that has produced poverty and misery everywhere it's tried and you still think you should replace a proven prosperity model with it well, that qualifies as insanity and on the scale we are observing the lights have gone completely out. The ows crowd though are ahead of the curve as they are already living in the communitys organized by their hero obama. America we have f'kd up big time.
Apology accepted. Many of us scum are beneficial to the political ecosystem. We hate being painted with a broad brush.
Nah. Something about bi-sexual occupiers, wasn't it?
"the dying progressive movement, the imploding Democratic Party and the crumbling Obama administration, "
Hello? As long as there are dead people voting and illegal aliens voting, the Democratic party is never going to implode.
Crumbling Obama Administration? Last time I checked, zero members of his regime did a perp walk. And thanks to the Just Us Department, that won't happen. And please tell me what the congress is doing to make sure Obama does a perp walk? Bueller? Bueller? Figures.
And the dying LEFTIST movement? As long as they control pubic schools (misspelling intentional), the leftstream media, public high schools, public junior colleges, public universities, private colleges and universities, state governments, county governments, city governments, township governments, and have tons of leftist groups doing their bidding, the movement will never die.
Leftists would normally contracept, abort, homosexualize and euthanize themselves out of existence. If they had no power, leftism would be extinct on its own since nobody would believe in it anymore. But since they have the power to propagandize and spread their lies to others through this vast network, the leftist lies live.
Anytime large groups of people of both sexes and various demographics congregate together and sleep outside night and after night, statistically speaking there is going to be crime of various degrees. Quite a different environment than the mostly older, white folks who go to Tea Party meetings for a few hours and then go home for the night. Comparisons are silly.
The media didn't attempt to hide the behavior of OWS. Given the total number of people involved around the country, the number of crimes was NOT representative of the movement en masse.
Good thing rapes never happen in the military – or you might have to bash them the same way…..right?
SNL destroyed Palin? You mean they destroyed her chances of becoming the nominee? Nonsense. Palin was never serious about running for President. She's a grifter who was in it for the money and notoriety. In that sense, SNL made her a more highly visible commodity. Without SNL, she never would have gotten her reality show and made all the money she did. IMO.
Only a liberal would be so stupid as to be a female who hangs out with jobless druggies in their tents in a public park at night.
Were it not for the way they rape each other, pass the drugs so everyone is easy prey, and teach females in schools and with their endless push in the public square that its equalizing to be promiscuous skanks with no standards for who they sleep with it'd be hard for these jobless dudes to get girls.
Really, OWS freaks are not a catch. I guess graduating to "ambiguous tent rapists" was inevitable.
LOL!
You don't think 417 crimes is representative? That's like…dare I say it…1%!
Oh the irony…
Or more accurately: Comparing people who have jobs to people who just want free crap without working for it.
This would make for an interesting Magazine Cover.
News flash, Sparky. Blogs ARE the mew media.
Difference between New Media and Mainstream Media is that the New Media outlets don't make a pretense at fairness.
Fantastic write up Andrew and we the peeps appreciate your work and effort!!! Thanks a bunch Sir!!!
Are you implying that Holder/Fast & Furious isn't being reported here at the BIGs? If so, you are lying.
This article contained a lot of words. I liked most of them, but could you boil it down to a paragraph or two? The level of 'education' in the last 40 years leaves many potential readers with a glaze over their eyes. I get it, but will most?
Note to self: buy more ammo. And SPAM™. Even Kruschev admitted that SPAM™ saved the Soviet Union during WWII. And no, I do not work for Hormel Foods, but I probably should.
No, Dick, the primary difference is that the average Tea Partier works, is patriotic and obeys the law.
Three things the average Fleabagger cannot claim.
The corrupt leftwing media has that angle covered quite thoroughly.
Apparently, you miss Breitbart's point.
Excellent work, Andrew. As always.
Looking forward to all the new exposes of mainstream "media" corruption in the coming year.
We salute you.
From the beginning the Occupy movement has been riddled with rapes, assaults, and countless other serious crimes. Oh really? Please do tell.
I've been to countless Occupy events and can tell you that there indeed are reported rapes, assaults, thefts and other crimes committed at different Occupy sites. But I would not use the words "riddled" or "countless". Like in any tent city that attracts the homeless, there will be crime.
Exaggerating the extent of crimes at Occupy is no surprise from a journalist of your genre. Nothing ambiguous about what you do. You aim low and probably get the reaction you expect. Am I helping any? :0
Doctors Without Borders is the latest group to join Occupy and be exposed as nothing but a band of rapists, killers, and thieves.
haha, so Occupy women are now nothing but a bunch of deserving sluts? You're not the daughter of that police chief in Canada who stuck his dog poo covered shoe directly into his frothing mouth by blaming women for enticing rapists with their slutty clothing, are ya?
2012 may not be the end of the world because of some ancient Maya calendar, but it looks to be ugly nonetheless. The lefties and their media supporters (sorry, being redundant there) are not going to go down without a serious fight. Take the advice of that venerable organization, the Boy Scouts, and BE PREPARED.
In otherwords youre saying your ideals are faulted and your parents have asked you to leave?
Two paws up!
"Equally represented by both sexes (Me?)"
I thought that only earthworms and other invertebrates were hermaphroditic.
Oh, wait…
http://1389blog.com/2011/12/22/stop-online-piracy...
Thanks, Andy. This post is going to 20 of my friends.
Lines are being drawn, throughout the Western World: you're either a revolutionary demcrat/socialist/communist or a lover of our Constitution. Eventually everyone must choose sides. Me? My powder is dry.
An odd, fortuitous paradox in this developing crisis is that most of our enemies, being demcrats and liberals, will have no powder because, you know, "Only right wing nuts own guns!" They've disarmed themselves! They invite violent revolution…unarmed! Go figure.
Yes, glad you asked. But it's worse. OWS females and males (there are no "women" among you, as women are people who live up to responsibility) are almost all "slores." Also, deranged, jobless, drug infested Communist losers who can't make it in America where anybody with the advantages they've been born with can succeed if they want to. Half of them are born rich and should be working instead of living in tents to have sex with strangers for six months. That is filthy and you're just trading STD's at this point.
By the way, you can coast through life doing the bare minimum in this amazing land. Your choice. But you can't steal from the rest of us. That's where we draw the line and will stop you, you unshowered, thieving, nonworking, lazy, drug dealing Slore.
The entitlement mentality of the OWS crowd probably has more to do with the high crime rates than the diversity.
Thank you Andrew Breitbart. Let's have a Happy New Year! I am the Tea Party.
i really loved the way his "movement" (pun intended )wasnt spontaneous ,was stupid and backed by commies and union thugs .It was ignored by us,and the law ,clearly .I madea Christmas song and video ,please laugh at it while its still relevant.youtube link below.

Step away from your computer and enjoy real life.
great job Andew! I'm sure Bill O will cover this in the "no spin zone" …er well maybe not. Maybe Gretta ? naw. If it wasn't for Andrew Americans would never know this .
Fair Enough and Nice Reply; I found you at 0 points and for Being a Good Sport I upped you a Point.
"I've been to countless Occupy events"
Please continue to attend. Maybe you can become a statistic and we'll read about you in a headline.
Dear Andrew is one of the most courageous members of the new media. I trust he has 24/7 protection…
There is no way to thank him properly, so I will stay connected and help spread 'the word'. May the truth reign in 2012.
Huh? I didn't get the 'separation' you allude to. (Your 3rd sentence isn't a sentence and adds to my confusion.)
Most of the people at the OWS are rubes and pawns mixed in with some criminals. As with all leftist activism there is emotionalism and hypocritical paradox…(Oh yea, throw in a ton of projection). Property rights should only exist for the 'victims' of 'the greedy'.
If Andrew's article is an argument, then he won it, with facts.
So, you're saying that LBJ was a champion of individual rights? I'd say that he helped to give some people more rights than others, like getting a job based on skin color rather than qualification. LBJ was as reprehensible as Hoffman, in his own way. You might want to read some Ayn Rand and attend a TEA party or two, then you might be able to comprehend the truth: You're being played.
Yea, Alex Jones, Infowars daddy, the guy that incited his goons to nearly assault Michelle Malkin at an anti-FED rally. Great guy…I was reeled in for a while by The Obama Deception, which exposed everyone except the fraud, felon and treasonous usurper.
Indeed, but I like to say that such loons PROJECT too much…it fits every time!
And yes, fear drives his/her rage.
I would say you couldn't seperate the crimes of murder, theft and rape from the principles of the left. When you examine the principles that drive the left, those three crimes are acceptable to the left(unless being perpetrated against them). If property rights aren't rights, theft is meaningless and you take what you wish(especially if you don't like the victim). All of the crimes can be viewed in the principles and morals of the left as non crimes. They coincide with their beliefs(Again, as long as its not them). So my point is, when you have a large collection of people with the lefts principles and morals you should expect these crimes. My surprise is there wasn't more. Kind of like being surprised when a left wing dictator turns out to be a monster. It should have been expected, a non monster would be the exception. Its what they believe that drives their behaviour.
Andy, great job you have done for OWS, without you and your wing nut buddies this was the the biggest non-story in the msm but you managed to get it into the front page of the msm.
Keep up the good work you are an anarchist at heart! just don't tell your wing nut buddies
Keeping in mind that the US has now more people employed as prison guards and similar occupations instead of manufacturing jobs, andy's protests sound kind of silly.
I understand what you just said and agree wholeheartedly…perhaps you were picking a bone with AB over not pointing out that criminal behavior is a given with leftist movements?
I, as well as many others here were also mystified that more crimes weren't committed, but there we go again to the matter at hand: the old media putting a brick wall between OWS and us. What we are allowed to see of The Obama Nation is merely the tip of the iceberg; there's so much we do not know. It enrages me that we may never know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Thanks for taking the time to explain…
I just love it when the Occupy Whatever Scammers try to defend the indefensible by dissing our soldiers, job creators and TEA Party patriots. They have nothing to defend so they attack people who deserve praise for many reasons. It's the same schtick the LGBT, green movement,' re-distributionist'. entitlement 'class' Obamatons try to pull every time they're caught stepping in their own pile…"What smell?…It must be you…If you smelt it, you dealt it.'
Arrested development is destroying our country.
