Violent Left Fights for a BP Bailout
by Capitol ConfidentialThe violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress. Tea Party activists in Tampa and St. Louis were beaten by left wing activists earlier this year. Add Greensboro to that list. This week, a group of local citizens in North Carolina protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment were accosted and then physically attacked by a left-wing activist who blamed George Bush for America’s ills. Here is the video:
Like a bad cold it can’t shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history.
The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP’s bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That’s why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum.
Proponents cynically and falsely claim it would help consumers, but its hard to see many consumers feeling benefited by paying higher prices while mega corporations increase their profits.
Just look at who is pushing this amendment—oil Companies and giant retailers.
Tim Carney is one of the most astute observers of the Washington, DC K Street lobbying business. He doesn’t fall for the pro-consumer rhetoric of politicians. He looks behind the curtain of amendments and bills to see who benefits and who is paying the lobbyists to get the job done. When it comes to British Petroleum Carney has found a trail of support for big government policies that pad their bottom line. Carney writes, ” While BP has resisted some government interventions, it has lobbied for tax hikes, greenhouse gas restraints, the stimulus bill, the Wall Street bailout, and subsidies for oil pipelines, solar panels, natural gas and biofuels.”
Which gets us back to the Durbin Amendment being protested in North Carolina. The Financial Reform bill is nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for our country. Bailouts will be permanently enshrined into law. The Federal Reserve will be empowered, not reformed. Left wing and union activists will be encouraged to interfere with the operations of companies through the proxy access provisions. The bill’s broad definiation of ”nonbank financial company” that would mean that many Main Street companies would be hit with regulations, taxation and possibily nationalization by the Federal Rererve. And of course, ground zero for the financial crisis — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — remain untouched and unchanged by the bill.
None of this seems to bother left wing activists and members of Congress. Left wing activists are willing to beat conservatives who are speaking out against this monstrosity. Unfortunately, the real damage will be done to our economy and free market system and will be injured for years to come.

THUGS LOOK FOR WHOSE AS TO KICK!!!
These idoits seem to forget that we have money to buy cameras to document their hatred.
We will overcome.
We will take back this Country.
No more lies.
No more corrupt politicians.
No more wasting of our money.
No more silent majority, we will be heard.
No more nanny state for lazy dependent freeloaders.
This is what Beck has been warning us about – the Progressive, Leftist violence is coming to America – straight from the bowels of the Social Justice playbook.
Lefty narrative contradicted on film…AGAIN.
There are ways to solve these problems. I'm always packing, it's our constitutional right. They will think twice if I'm in the crowd. I'm not taking this Sh&t.
These idiots are waking a hibernating bear.
Their whole agenda of power and abuse leaves them no other choice than to lash-out with violence against reason, faith, charity, and honor.
And these thugs are backed by Obama. I am willing to bet the first words out of Obama's mouth if and when he sees this video will be something like, 'those TeaBaggers acted stupidly'.
That BlackMan is no 'young' thug either. We think that at his age he should have more sense than that displayed here. I wonder what he's like when he REALLY gets angry.
What the hell has happened to America??? We cannot allow this country to act like a bunch of thugs!!
I blame Bush for the violence of the left!
/sarc off
This assault did not warrent a shooting incident, which would be used by the left as justification to crack down on conservative groups. Shoot with a camera.
Most of the leftist thugs are too dumb to understand the issues probably would not care if they did.
They are foot soldier thugs that are being told that the free ride will end if they don't get out there and get into peoples faces.
They are also trying to provoke a kick back reaction so they can claim we are violent, for all things there is a seasona and ours is coming soon, keep it together people stooping to this proves they are on the run.
BDS is less like a cold and more like a fever, since it results in delirium and destruction of rational thought.
MY MY MY
Another view of how violent the progressives really are.
Tea Party Protesters v seiu progressive lefty turds. Maybe the Queen nancy can tell us all how violence is on the horizon from this type of rhetoric that she has heard before…???
Time and time again, we are shown just how this is all gonna come down as we get closer and closer to November. Every time good and decent people challenge the establishment of corruption, there is a progressive there to show us just why we need to keep it up.
Hopefully, that jacka$$ got himself a free ride to the Sheriff's bed & breakfast.
The portly black gentleman said, in his car…"If you keep F'ing around…You gonna get hurt"
Well…That pretty much sums it all up, now doesn't it…
Let's see how November feels, as you fools keep F'ing around with our country…!!!
We ain't no Smokey the Bear, either!
Just another example of the persuasion of power… SEIU tactics caught on tape again! Wonder if the thug was arrested?
Maybe Helen Thomas should tell them about cellphone cameras.
I have faith that these people will be defeated, but we can never let our guard down, for they will never give up.
" Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families – more than seventy million people – whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default."
~ Saul D. Alinsky ~
I just saw union leader justifying the $10 million spent in Arkansas to Neil Cavuto
I wish he had asked her how well funded is their pension and benefit plans are?
This ain't right for unions ro use funds in this way. With corporate political donations they are legally precluded from using protected funds and can only use free earnings.
If unions get money from the government it is a direct CONFLICT OF INTEREST to use that money to buy influence. Why is that not the question being asked?
Thoroughly disgusted in AZ!!!
God, hit him back… stop rolling over…
Wise advice, RandyL2. Leftists also seem to really enjoy a blast of pepper spray up the nose.
Why isn't the homeland security looking into this form of homegrown terrorists violence? Are they overlooking any danger to groups that don't fit the proper profile?
Personally, if someone assaults me and my wife, they would be a chalk outline in very short order!
Living in the SF bay area I get to observe the liberal in their home environment. I have watched them very closely and this gentlemen in the video showed two of the dominate traits. First is to be the victim. The gentleman does it twice once about it is Bushes fault and the other time when he lies about not touching the man’s wife (by the way great job standing up for your wife) and second when you don't get your way scream and or hit. Being it is the bay area we don't get as much hitting, but a lot of screaming. See it is all about the past. According to the left we can’t be upset about the solutions because we supported Bush so it is our fault.
Hey is that the new Greece Tourism video??
You see kids these are leftist children (proggies, libs, anarchists whatever) they are exempt from criminal prosecution, finger pointing, labeling by DHS. They commit the crime and those on the receiving end are to blame or put on the watch list! Remember these are nothing but useful idiots, they do not understand they will be cast to the wayside someday. Elsewhere today I posted this is our future that Rome is burning, with the likes of children like these carrying on it will burn to the ground where they will be the first ones asking why and who did it! So stupid and so blinded, but the bigger question as always is who is calling the shots? Who organized events like this, who called these "troops" into action? That is what you must focus on, the act itself is a diversion to keep the focus on the violence instead on who is orchestrating it. This is the direction you need to follow people don't focus on the event focus on the machine behind it, find the puppet master(s).
Now is the time to give corrupt politicians, bias fringe media and special interest groups a dose of their own medicine… a "lethal" dose through http://www.savingtherepublic.com
maybe he could get a job as a peace activist on the next flotilla to gaza. certainly qualified.
Remember to teach your daughters never to become involved with this type of guy. The shallow end of the gene pool needs heavy chlorination.
THAT, is uncalled for. We're better than that.
I've… I've seen this kind of rhetoric before.
Make sure there are witnesses, let him get in the first shot, then beat the living crap out of him. One, two, and three.

"…The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress…"
Try as you might, liberals, you cannot conceal your own self-loathing. Every time you plug up one hole to hide it, another will spring up.
and when the zombies are rallied to vote again and put incumbents back in office what then? Too many ppl think Nov is going to be a walk through the park. There is a big machine at play behind many of them. A money and community organizing machine that knows how to play the game well. Look at what they did in 08… do not underestimate the radicals they are too close to lose it all.
Who actually believes that businesses don't study, and plan for (pricing) the costs associated with how their customers pay for their purchases? Hell, any smart business plans for, and prices, their product or service based as many factors as they can realistically anticipate. A smart business doesn't pay taxes on their profits, they build it in to the price. "Cost of doing business" anyone? This bill is bullshit, and anyone who supports it deserves to have their constituents reminded of that fact every day, pass or not, until that Congress-Ass is tossed to the electoral curb…
"The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress…Tea Party activists…were beaten by left wing activists earlier this year."
Here's a perfect and honest illustration of the 'tolerant' Left in all their glory while caught in the act of being themselves.
I wish Drudge would link to this. I get tired of the "let's make this go viral" crowd, but, this time, I am proudly jumping on that bandwagon.
With all due respect, BMartin…You put too much faith in the 'zombies'.
November will be no walk in the park, far from it. As you stated "there is a big machine at play behind many of them". -You couldn't more correct sir! And that, primarily, is the reason that I will not adhere to the notion that history repeats itself, this time at least. I do honestly believe that there are more people awake now, then have been in a very, very, very long time. Collectively that is, across the board, the entire country if you will…
Never will this generation, and most likely the next 2-3 generations after, have a time in history that is so important to the well being of the nation, due to causes generated by the nations [citizens] own malfeasance, and then manifested by radicals. I think that if not now, there will never be another time in which we ALL stand together in order to make things better, and above all Constitutional.
Never will we underestimate ANY radical, ever again…!
I'm with you guys: They wanna start that sh!t – I'm more than happy to finish it. Time to stop being treated like garbage just because we love our country. It's gonna boil over soon and MSM is due much of the blame for allowing this stuff to happen while pointing their collective finger at the right.
No No can't be the lame stream media said he has to be a Tea Party member…How could this be….
Too bad I wasn't able to make this protest. If I had been there that video would've been a lot more interesting. I live just outside of gso. I'll be sure to be at the next one. He's lucky I wasn't the wife that he pushed, because his fat ass would've been flat out on the ground with one foot on his neck and the other one up his ass. I don't play the bully game. He thinks he's a big man for pushing a woman around and striking out at people who were peacefully protesting just because he doesn't agree. This is the kind of behavior that breeds riots and it's coming down to that, every time these bullies aren't dealt with harshly. And I know gso. Nothing will come of this. People get run over by cars and never spend a day in jail. They coddle people like this man.
People, get used to this kind of treatment. We're going to see A LOT of this in the coming months. The left is losing everything soon, and they can't stand it.
What's next?
Let's take a look at the CheesecakeLarry crystal Ball, (it's actually a bottle of Glenmorangie, but humor me) Obamao's army is just getting its feet wet. No, not brownshirts (purple) and not Krystallnacht (just kickin' Tea Baggers a$$es) the ugliness will just get worse, and expect new laws to stop these evil conservative protestors that cause so much trouble.
Sick, sad, and by God, I hope I'm wrong.

More left wing tolerance on display. The crowd should have beat the hell out of that guy.
Is this what Barry Oh meant by "kicking ass"? The thuggery arm of the administrative branch? It is ironically (funny) that these morons always take their assigned duties out on wives and kids in wheelchairs… they aren'y even that good at thuggery! No wonder my Chevy is a piece of crap.
Then we wouldn't have the joy of watching their buffoonery on display.

sorry, he's just another ignorant tool who probably used affirmative action to get a job and obviously a militant black thug.
Exactly. It certainly seemed to me that cracking him upside the head a time or two would have been justified, but lighten up there Francis.
I'm surprised nobody had at least a taser or pepper spray.
Didnt read what he said, but Conservatives are the last to attack. We will defend ourselves, let them riot these cities while the smart people build new towns in rural areas, arm ourselves, and block the freeloaders from entering when they are done looting.
I'm sure he's a wife beater. I wouldn't be too surprised if this thug has a criminal record already. Way to 'heal the planet' Obama! He is pitting whites and blacks against each other and setting America back decades.
It would have been funny to watch this crowd turn their backs on him and start singing the National Anthem. He would have hated being ignored–he was just itching for a fight.
And film it from start to finish…
That's exactly right. This moron continued to do this with the camera rolling…unbelievable. Then, like a coward he runs for his car after assaulting a woman.
It's time to tighten the ole chin strap kids. We'll act Presidential and start kicking some ass. Starting with union thugs, and militant's blocking our polling station's……………..
It's going to be a very long hot summer as things escalate. As GB detailed today, the masks are coming off as their desperation sets in.
Something, I would have said myself, if I hadn't been thinking. I'm sure flannigan just got caught up in the moment.
…and post it on YouTube, and let it go viral…
So, is this what Obama meant when he said he was going to bring the nation together? Because of him and his Progressive/left-wing/liberal/democrat supporters, this nation is more divided now than I've ever seen in my lifetime. Every democrat needs to be voted out this Nov and Barry and Co. need to go in 2012.
I hope you are too, Larry.
As much as I agree with you, the MSM would have used it against the Conservatives. They did the right thing, this guy looks bad and it makes the left look bad, too. For months we were bombarded with lies about the violent Tea Party protests. This video is going to go a long way to prove just who the violent ones really are.
Let's just say militant thug. I've seen videos of white people doing the same thing . . . to a wheelchair bound black man. Race really shouldn't have anything to do with it. Thuggery is thuggery.
There'd be a chaulk outline around each individual piece…..
And if you are Israel, or Poland or Georgia ( the country) you must be asking what good does it do to be a friend of America under this Administration.
One of these days a thug is going to push the wrong person twice and get his *ss handed to him. I might even let him push me three times. After that it is self defense. Then the ambulance will be called not the police.
NARCISSISTS HAVE NO FRIENDS.
Malignant narcissists have even fewer.

The government wants this to happen. Like Pelosi's little meeting. Pelosi and Code Pink work for the same people.
When he said he was going to unite Americans, he meant he was going to unite the liberal/socialist half of the nation against everyone else.
As usual .. the left has no clue what a video camera is .. they mock Glenn Beck but he shows their own words coming out of thier mouths .. Just like this clown … the video shows who was the "thug"
wake up america … Please vote in November … They know this is as close as they will ever get to full blown socialism/progressism/communisium
"The shallow end of the gene pool needs heavy chlorination."
This video shows that 'shallow end' at it's worst, while the current residents of the WH are examples of that 'pool' at it's best–either extreme suggests an exorcism may be it's only remedy.
(Heads up that trolls have taken to commenting on the back pages. Having folks fire some rounds back there may clean that up)
Yeah, the libs could hardly believe it when AT&T and some other companies announced huge write-downs due to Obamacare's costs. DUH!
I agree with imconservative. Let the cameras be the justice-makers (for now).
I guess Obama meant he wanted to bring the nation together in an octagon!
The media is in bed with the statist and will hide this act from view and any violence coming from the conservative will be loudly and repeatedly covered.
.
This is their goal and will only serve the cause of the statist.
No violence.

Gleen Beck is an implicit moron. Please do not cite an inidvidual that has never attended college and propagates skewed information that is not only flagrantly racist, however, deeping contradictory. America does not need to wake up, your personally an idiot, and thus should not post on any website. In addition, to the moron who thinks he can not determine a line between our enemies and our friends, Germany, following World War 2, was previously our enemy, then as it became economically neccessary, became our friend. Where do you people find the audacity to post these comments without an explanation.
Beck's show tonight was truly frieghtning. Catch the late night rerun. Tell EVERYONE you know to watch Glenn Beck for the real truth no other media will tell you. If they choose to remain ignorant, then God help us. 75% of America don't know what's going on.
Touch MY wife and you won't want to live !
Correct; that's why cities died and suburbs flourished.
What about the "other" half of the Country who still support the Radicals and Obama?
Although I have a college and JD degree, I take offense to the dissing of someone who never attended college. I've learned much more from life, friends, and self-education then I ever learned during my years at UCSB and law school. And I know dozens of smart, sophisticated (and well off) business owners who have never attended college. Based upon you disrespect for folks, only because they chose not to attend college, I would be hesitant to respect anything you were to post. Also, if you are to criticize others for their level of education, you should work on your (not you're) grammar (see your use of "your personally" as opposed to "you're personally".
This tolerating the noise and intimidation of these obomons needs to stop. If it is not stopped now they will show up at folks homes, work, place of business en masse. One stop at a time. They have all day. Push back and hard is needed.
How about the radicals (friends of Obama) who want to violently overthrow the government of the U.S.? FBI, DHS, DOJ, all BLIND…
Are you referring to liberals, your congnizent that conservatives our predominately the contingents that assemble. No push is required, thats counterproductive and a poorly contrived solution.
Don't become the one you dispise! Violence is all they have, use your head not your fists and never a weapon!
Voting them out will be victory and undoing the damage done will be our gift to our and their children.
I just want it for the jury, myself…
Witnesses are okay, if you can hold their credibility from impeachment…but that camera can't lie or embellish…
I guess we shall see if they are indeed, "half of the Country", or not come election time…I would hedge my bets that they aren't!
But that's just me, and who am I… =)

I didn't go to college either but I can spell better than you.
Are you smarter than a second-grader? Do you have ANY GRASP of sentence structure, spelling, grammar, or syntax? Do your parents know that you're online? DO YOU HAVE PARENTS? Did your alleged parents have any children who lived?
If the skin colors were different there would have been racism involved……………………
But there is no racism in that video……….. right??
