Van Jones and Other Marxist Scum Protest Koch Brothers’ Meeting

Posted on | January 31, 2011 | 16 Comments

Yesterday I told you that Herman Cain would be speaking at a conference in Rancho Mirage, California, sponsored by the Koch Foundation. Well, about a thousand smelly hippies turned out to protest the conference and guess who was helping lead them?

Van Jones, the former green jobs deputy in the Obama Administration and senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, described the anti-Koch rally as “the beginning of our fight back.”

Twenty-five hippies were reportedly arrested. Click here for some nice photos of the Riverside Sheriff’s Department riot squad who, alas, didn’t get the opportunity to use their batons, pepper spray and tasers.

    If Code Pink protests you, then you must be doing something right.

    “riot squad who, alas, didn’t get the opportunity to use their batons, pepper spray and tasers.”

    Well, at least you can get your fix from some of the snuff anti-riot porn coming out of Egypt. Here’s one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkoSbw7630E

    “…described the anti-Koch rally as ‘the beginning of our fight back.’”

    Sounds like the left’s version of tea party.

    Primping (pimping?) for some of that Koch money, Stacy?

    Probably won’t happen, though. Your “alas” likely puts you out of bounds for any funder who wants to have a “respectable” veneer. Guess you’ll just have to keep rattling the tip jar.

    Or rather Stacy McCain tries hard to make it sound “like the left’s version of tea party ” in the making.

    Its payback time for all the bad karma of irrational Soros hatred baby.

    Was a certain chubby ponytailed bicycling ex-guitarist there?

    “Hatred?” I don’t think it means what you think it means.

    His “alas” does? Try his entire professional biography. You think if David Koch doesn’t like to be booed at the Opera for what he does, that he wants a dude like McCain on the payroll?

    Besides, David and Charles are libertarians and RSM ain’t no libertarian.

    Nice. I guess we all support violence now. So much for the Christian right.

    I love you Stacy, but this kind of talk creates animosity. It makes me look at the conservative movement no differently than I do the progressive left. Power. Control. Violence. That’s what the old left/right charade fights over. “Praise Jesus, club a hippie”… I think you see the problem there.

    You mean we can create animosity, damn I thought we had get it the old fashioned way?
    Notice that those officers had batons and face shields but no gas masks, body armor, or riot shields. That means they had nothing to fear or they like the personal touch when they are working.

    Stacy, I detect the presence of people who don’t like you in the threads of the past two days. Well done Sir well done.
