Occupy’s 84-year-old pepper spray victimBy Maura Judkis When Occupy marched in downtown Seattle on Tuesday night, a priest, a pregnant teenager and an 84-year-old community activist were doused in pepper spray. Although there have been many striking images of violence and peace in Occupy encampments, and many faces of the movement, none may be as immediately striking as this image of Dorli Rainey, taken by Joshua Trujillo.  Rainey’s direct gaze at the camera as her face drips with pepper spray is a haunting, cinematic image of brutality, emphasized even more by the chiaroscuro of dark gloved hands holding her head up to lead her to safety. Dashiell Bennett of the Atlantic has speculated that this image may become the defining one of Occupy unrest. Rainey, a community activist since the ’60s, decided to walk by the protest on her way to a transportation meeting in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle. As she told the Stranger, Seattle’s alt-weekly paper, “Cops shoved their bicycles into the crowd . . . If it had not been for my Hero (Iraq Vet Caleb) I would have been down on the ground and trampled.” When Philip Kennicott wrote in 2005 about the lack of iconic images from the Iraq war, he spoke to the qualities that make a photograph emblematic of a movement or era in history. Until now, many of the photos of Occupy focused on the signs carried by protesters, rather than the clashes with police. This is partially due to access — by many accounts, press were shut out from Monday night’s eviction of protesters from Zucottti Park. Yet, even though Occupy Wall Street and its branches across the country are not analogous to the war, the visual language of iconic imagery is the same. Too often, Kennicott writes, photographers of conflict focus on objects — a sign, a tent, a mangled car — as a stand-in for people: “The sum total of these substitutions feels, at times, like a theater without actors, a set of props and costumes and extras milling about, without hint of what the real drama is meant to be.” Rainey has now been unwittingly thrust into that starring role. Protest images that become iconic show us faces in anguish, such as John Filo’s Pulitzer-winning image of the shooting at Kent State. Thankfully, no image or incident quite as violent has emerged from Occupy. Nevertheless, wrote one commenter on the Stranger, “This is exactly the sort of picture that changes things.” That grandma must have been one of the rapists or murderers! 
Fair play!

She's been an activist since the 60's so who knows what horrible things she's done to others.

Anyone who thinks attacking citizens like this is justifiable is, literally, a traitor to the United States of America. And, in my opinion, human scum whose passing, while I would not celebrate, I would neither mourn... You know who I think is a "traitor", Pro? The sack of liberal shit who says this about our military: http://www.rkmbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=9&Number=1161701
Agreed. At least transgenders are honest about who they are, instead of hiding behind their insecurities like you describe...
Exactly. They can't have self-loathing issues, either, since they embrace their nature. Quoting the article again: "But Tobin disagreed, citing countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, which have or are in the process of accommodating transgender military members." Three of our best allies are accepting of their transgender military members, but we are not?  Transgenders, homosexuals...these are people who have had to take a very deep look at their life and come to grips with who they are, and not necessarily what society wants them to be. Thus, they already come prepared with a strong foundation of willpower and self-awareness. People like that are that much harder to brainwash or temper with propaganda. The military does not like people like this because if they're thinking with their own mind, and not allowing others to control them, then such people aren't as easily controlled as the rest of the slack-jawed yokels or insecure emo kids. They might actually question why they're killing innocent civilians, and bombing hospitals. People like transgenders and homosexuals, who are aware of who they are, have a far more profound perspective on life and the sanctity therein. They're far less likely to club a baby than, say, try and find a solution for peace. The Army cannot use people with their own courage and will. They need sheep to mold into Pavlovian psychopaths that will assassinate their own people without question.  You and William Ayers should have your citizenship revoked, and be shipped off to Iran or Russia. And in two days, you would beg to come back to the U.S. And the answer would be: "No... traitor".  Yeah, quite unintentionally, that was a bit Rorschach's-Journal-esque.

OPEN LETTER TO THE OCCUPIERS
First of all you do NOT represent the 99% in fact my guess is you are also a 1% voice and would say that 98% of the people are against you. And that includes the homeless as has been well documented in the media.
Second when you are protest marching, blocking traffic, preventing people from getting to their jobs, throwing glass at police defecating in public you are not affecting the 1% you claim to be upset with. You are affecting the everyday working class citizens the very people who protect your right to free speech. Your pathetic adolescent antics never effect the wealthy that you have such disdain for. Honestly not one thing you are doing is affecting that 1% at all. You are preventing that 98% you pretend to represent from getting to their jobs and families with your nonsense.
Third to loosely quote; when you have a protest “here’s a good idea! HAVE A POINT! It makes it so much easier for the listener”. What is it you people exactly want to have fixed and what resolution do you suggest we replace Wall Street with?
Fourth since you obviously have all this time to camp out you do not work. Who is supporting you? Who is feeding and otherwise providing you shelter? Your parents? Well guess what in the long run there are being paid by the 1% you oppose. The government? Well guess what again they are the ones paying the majority of tax dollars to support you bums! And I am no economist but shut down big business and that alone for any simple mind to figure out will shut down jobs!
In conclusion stop pretending you represent 99% you do not. You all look like a bunch of adle-mindied children just mucking up the system with no real cause in mind. And HEY we all figured out you idiots in New York had fake blood but several police officers doing their job at middle class wages were injured as a result of your temper tantrums.
As I said I am a representative of the 98% of people who think you people are immature punks who do not want to work and think the world owes you a living. Get out of the tent and try to find a job. And yeah despite your liberal arts degree that may mean flipping burgers.
Sincerely,
Just one frustrated member of the 98% who is tired of your lunacy.
YOU PUT SOUP IN IT!

An elderly woman, a pregnant woman and a priest walk into a riot http://www.katu.com/news/local/133962883.html
SEATTLE -- An elderly woman, a pregnant woman and a priest were among those who were pepper-sprayed during a protest in support of the Occupy movement on Tuesday.
The demonstrators taking part in the Occupy Seattle movement marched from their current camp at Seattle Central Community College to Westlake Park late Tuesday afternoon.
While en route, they came across police officers at several points. At the intersection of Fifth and Pine, the crowd was met by a line of several dozen police officers on bicycles who blocked the way.
Tensions mounted until police deployed pepper spray in an attempt to disperse the crowd and get the protesters out of the streets. About a dozen people were hit with the stinging fume.
"Pepper spray was deployed only against subjects who were either refusing a lawful order to disperse or engaging in assaultive behavior toward officers," said Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel.
Police said six people were arrested during the march. A 17-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed then arrested after allegedly swinging a stick at an officer. Three others - a 17-year-old boy, a man and a women - were arrested for suspected pedestrian interference. A man was arrested after he allegedly threw an unknown liquid at an officer's face, and another man was arrested for alleged assault.
There's really no further commentary needed beyond this. These people attacked police officers, and got exactly what they had coming. Likewise, the most liberal mayors in America --who openly embraced the Occupy Wall Street movement initially-- were forced to break up the protests when the OWS-related crime and destruction in their cities became undeniable and a recurrently serious problem.

 SOLDIERS ARE ONLY PATRIOTS WHEN THEY'RE REPUBLICANS!! LIBERALSCUM DESERVES IT!! SOROSPIRACY!! You're such a hate-filled, intolerant redneck. Pathetic. Says the hate-filled intolerant asshole who stereotypes our soldiers in uniform with the most sweeping and vicious of slanders, based on absolutely nothing. You seem oblivious to how vile your own words are. You sweepingly insult every last person in uniform. Far from "Pavlovian psychopaths" the military I've met demonstrate mountains more responsible conscience than you do.

Plus these immature bums are NEVER impeding the 1% wealthy they wronglly accuse they actually hurt the 98% that are actually working and truly want naught to do with them! Verily and Amen, on all counts. The OWS protestors' actions are destructive to the lives of working middle-class Americans. And they are not even addressing the so-called 1%. They should be protesting outside the White House, outside the Capitol building, outside K-street where the lobbyists are, protesting outside G.E., Pfizer, Solyndra, the HMO's who helped Obama ram through an Obamacare that 61% of the American people don't want, that has already begun to raise the price of healthcare, that will enrich the largest corporations while fleecing middle-class and low-class Americans with higher medical costs that flow straight to the corporate coffers. These OWS protestors are unwitting pawns of the corporations they profess to oppose, and advance corporate crony-capitalism. Read OBAMANOMICS by Tim Carney. Read CULTURE OF CORRUPTION by Michelle Malkin. Read CRASH 2.0 by Peter Schiff. I wonder if one person among these protestors is aware that Obama's largest political backer was the Wall Street investment firms, most prominent among them Goldman-Sachs, from which Tim Geithner left to become treasury secretary. By the sideshow they provide, the OWS protestors fly cover for Obama, who is in fact the campaign-funded paid representative of the corporate interests they profess to oppose, that they are unwittingly flying cover for. Occupy Wall Street protestors serve the Wall Street agenda, and the George Soros agenda, and the G.E./Pfizer/HMO agenda. To the detriment of the "99-percent" they profess to be fighting in the name of, as they defacate on police cars and throw acid in the face of New York cops.

So now that Rex, WB and G-man are pushing the same talking points/propaganda does that mean the anti-christ has been born? And by "propaganda", you mean the known facts about what Occupy Wall Street protestors have done. The arrests, the attacks on police, the public defacation, the rapes, the murders, the sanitary problems, the failure to abide by legal orders of mayors and police, the destruction to local businesses, the I.V. drug use, the protestors running around naked and having public sex, the anti-semitism, the calls for violence, and actual violence, the marxist-socialist calls for open revolution, and on and on.

I agree. These Occupy Wall Street crowd --among those who even have a serious motive of fighting corporate/ financial-industry corruption-- are just aiding the political groups that orchestrated the corruption. i.e., useful idiots

I'm torn on the whole police getting hurt thing. Those blue shirters don't deserve to be hit with anything. Many are just doing their jobs. The White shirt guys in the NYPD, though...they are bought and paid for by the banks (see, Paid Detail Unit). Not saying that I want them to get hurt or calling for them to be hurt, but--if they do--I really could give a shit.

If it were the Tea Party even TALKING about doing the crazy shit that Occupy Wall Street has actually done, you better believe that the liberal media would be reporting it. Remember when Pelosi and Clyburn crossed a crowd of Tea Party protestors to vote Obamacare into law 2 years ago (against the polled will of the overwhelming majority of Americans). Clyburn alleged that Tea Partiers repeatedly shouted the N-word at him. But in a crowd of thousands, with media cameras and thousands of individual cel-phone cameras rolling of the event, not one video or audio clip of said racial epithets ever surface. Even after Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who could produce said video. But based on nothing, the media reported it as having occurred. And conversely, based on overwhelming evidence aired almost exclusively in conservative media and on Youtube, the liberal media selectively omits the bad beehavior and crimes of the Occupy Wall Street mob.

And yet, because of their (OWS and the mainstream media) shared anti-American socialist agenda, the liberal media adores them, and refuses to fully report their true actions, that reveal what OWS truly does and represents. http://www.mrc.org/static/biasbasics/MediaBias101.aspxExhibit 1-1: The Media Elite In 1981, S. Robert Lichter, then with George Washington University, and Stanley Rothman of Smith College, released a groundbreaking survey of 240 journalists at top media outlets — including the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS — on their political attitudes and voting patterns. The data showed journalists hold liberal positions on a wide range of social and political issues. Lichter and Rothman’s book, The Media Elite, became the most widely quoted media study of the 1980s. KEY FINDINGS: •More than four-fifths of the journalists interviewed voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in every election between 1964 and 1976. •“Fifty-four percent placed themselves to the left of center, compared to only 19 percent who chose the right side of the spectrum,” Lichter and Rothman’s survey of journalists discovered" •“Fifty-six percent said the people they worked with were mostly on the left, and only 8 percent on the right — a margin of seven-to-one.” •Nearly half of the journalists surveyed agreed that “the very structure of our society causes people to feel alienated,” while the authors found “five out of six believe our legal system mainly favors the wealthy.” •30 percent disagreed that “private enterprise is fair to workers;” 28 percent agreed that “all political systems are repressive.” •54 percent did not regard adultery as wrong, compared to only 15 percent who regarded it as wrong. •“Ninety percent agree that a woman has the right to decide for herself whether to have an abortion; 79 percent agree strongly with this pro-choice position.” •Majorities of journalists agreed with the statements: “U.S. exploits Third World, causes poverty” (56 percent); and “U.S. use of resources immoral” (57 percent). Three-fourths disagreed that the “West had helped Third World.”

Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.

YOU PROTEST YOU HAVE [TO HAVE A] COMPLAINT AND AN ANSWER. THESE DICKWEEDS HAVE NEITHER! Because the media sugarcoats the OWS' true actions, to spin them as more noble than they truly are, to advance the media's own pro-socialist America-bashing agenda. Even as they simultaneously misrepresent the Tea Party, because the Tea Party is not aligned with the media's agenda.

Exhibit 1-2: Major Newspaper Reporters
In 1982, scholars at the California State University at Los Angeles asked reporters from the fifty largest U.S. newspapers for whom they voted in 1980. In that election, Republican Ronald Reagan won with 50 percent of the vote, compared with 41 percent for Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter and 8 percent for liberal Republican-turned-independent John Anderson.
KEY FINDING:
•51 percent of big city reporters cast a ballot for Democratic President Jimmy Carter, 24 percent for liberal independent candidate John Anderson, and 25 percent for the Republican winner, Ronald Reagan.

Exhibit 1-3: The American Journalist
In late 1982 and early 1983, Indiana University journalism professors David H. Weaver and G. Cleveland Wilhoit surveyed more than 1,000 journalists, and reported the results in their 1986 book, The American Journalist. Their poll included more than just top reporters, and, overall, they detected only a modest skew towards the liberal side of the spectrum — 22 percent of those interviewed called themselves liberal, compared with 19 percent who said they were conservative. But among 136 executives and staffers at “prominent news organizations” — the three weekly newsmagazines, the AP and UPI wire services and the Boston Globe — the liberal tilt was much more pronounced, with liberals outnumbering conservatives by a more than two-to-one margin (32 to 12 percent). Only six percent of this group identified themselves as Republican, compared with seven times as many (43 percent) who said they were Democrats.
KEY FINDINGS:
•Journalists were instructed: “The media are often classified politically in terms of left, right and center. On a scale from zero (meaning extreme left) to one hundred (meaning extreme right)....where on this scale would you place yourself?”
•Most of the journalists surveyed (57.5%) chose numbers that placed themselves in the middle of the spectrum, with 22.1 percent ranking themselves as more liberal, and 17.9 percent saying they were more conservative, and 2.5 percent not responding.
•“When the political leanings of U.S. journalists are analyzed separately for executive (those who supervise editorial employees) and staffers of prominent and nonprominent news organizations, we find more journalists (both executives and staffers) from prominent organizations claiming to be left-of-center.”
•Among the prominent, or elite, media, 32.3 percent rated themselves as more liberal, compared to 11.8 percent who said they were more conservative. Eight percent rated themselves as solidly “left,” but none of the media elite would place themselves squarely on the “right.”
•Nearly four in ten of all journalists surveyed (38.5%) described themselves as Democrats, compared to just 18.8 percent who said they were Republicans. Among the journalists working at prominent news organizations, just 6 percent would admit to being Republicans, compared to 43 percent who said they were Democrats.
Bernard Goldberg, in his 2002 book BIAS, further states that the liberal media are actually far to the left of even the Democrat party. That most journalists have a contempt for the things that are sacred to most Americans (nationalism, our history, our capitalist national institutions)

Exhibit 1-4: U.S. Newspaper Journalists
In 1985, the Los Angeles Times conducted one of the most extensive surveys of journalists in history. Using the same questionnaire they had used to poll the public, the Times polled 2,700 journalists at 621 newspapers across the country. By a two-to-one margin, reporters had a negative view of then-President Ronald Reagan and voted by the same margin for Walter Mondale in 1984. The survey also asked 16 questions involving foreign affairs, social and economic issues. On 15 of 16 questions, the journalists gave answers to the left of those given by the public.
KEY FINDINGS:
•When asked how they voted in the 1984 election, more than twice as many newspaper journalists chose liberal Walter Mondale (58 percent) over the conservative incumbent Ronald Reagan (26 percent), even as the country picked Reagan in a 59 to 41 percent landslide.
•Self-identified liberals outnumbered conservatives in the newsroom by more than three-to-one, 55 to 17 percent. This compares to only one-fourth of the public (23 percent) that identified themselves as liberal.
•“Sometimes the readers and journalists take diametrically opposed positions — as on the question: ‘Are you in favor of the way Ronald Reagan is handling his job as President?’ Journalists say ‘No’ by a 2-1 margin; readers say ‘Yes’ by about the same margin,” Times media reporter David Shaw wrote.
•84 percent of reporters and editors supported the so-called “nuclear freeze” to ban all future nuclear missile deployment; 80 percent were against increased defense spending; and 76 percent opposed aid to the Nicaraguan contras.
•82 percent of reporters and editors favored allowing women to have abortions; 81 percent backed affirmative action; and 78 percent wanted stricter gun control.
•Two-thirds (67 percent) of journalists opposed prayer in public schools; three-fourths of the general public (74 percent) supported prayer in public schools.
Likewise, as sourced by Goldberg in BIAS, in the 1984 Reagan/Mondale election, there were ten White House correspondents from the various networks and papers. Of those correspondents polled, ten of ten voted for Mondale. Even as the rest of the nation overwhelmingly re-elected Reagan. How do you think that might have affected election coverage? What they did in 1984, the media are doing now, with Obama and Occupy Wall Street.

Exhibit 1-5: Survey of Business Reporters
A 1988 poll by a New York-based newsletter, Journalist and Financial Reporting, surveyed 151 business reporters from over 30 publications ranging from the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, USA Today, New York Times and Chicago Tribune to Money, Fortune and Business Week. The survey found that newspaper and magazine business reporters are just as liberal as their colleagues covering politics.
KEY FINDINGS:
•54 percent identified themselves as Democrats, just nine percent as Republicans.
•76 percent reported they opposed school prayer and 75 percent were against aid to the Contras, rebels fighting the Communist-backed Nicaraguan government. An overwhelming 86 percent favored abortion.
•More than half of the reporters, 52 percent, evaluated President Reagan’s performance in office as “poor” or “below average.” Only 17 percent gave him an “excellent” or “good,” while 19 percent considered him “average.” By way of comparison, Reagan’s average approval rating among the public during 1988 was 53 percent positive, according to Gallup.
•Asked who they wished to see elected President that year, 27 percent named liberal New York Governor Mario Cuomo (D), followed by Democratic Senators Bill Bradley (20%) and Paul Simon (9%). Senator Bob Dole was the most “popular” Republican, garnering a piddling eight percent.
•Rev. Pat Robertson, then a GOP candidate, topped the list — at 44 percent — of those the reporters would “least like to see as President,” followed by 19 percent who named the eventual winner, George H. W. Bush.
I see a pattern forming. Where the people have one opinion, and the liberal media overwhelmingly works to undermine popular opinion with their own prejudices and agenda.

Exhibit 1-6: Journalists -- Who Are They, Really?
In 1992, Indiana University journalism professors David H. Weaver and G. Cleveland Wilhoit surveyed 1,410 journalists who “work for a wide variety of daily and weekly newspapers, radio and television stations, news services and magazines throughout the United States.” Presenting the results in the Fall 1992 Media Studies Journal, they found journalists were more liberal, more Democratic, more in favor of legalized abortion and less religious than the public at large.
KEY FINDINGS:
•44 percent of journalists identified themselves as Democrats while just 16 percent tagged themselves as Republican. Thirty-four percent described themselves as independents.
•“Compared to the overall U.S. population, journalists are 3 percent to 10 percent more likely to say they are Democrats, depending on which national survey you use as a yardstick, and 10 to 17 points less likely to say they are Republicans,” they wrote.
•Nearly half of the journalists surveyed (47 percent) called themselves “liberal,” compared to 22 percent who described themselves as “conservative.” Gallup polls taken at the same time found just 18 percent of the public considered themselves liberal, while 34 percent of the public said they were conservative.
•The study authors found “minorities are much more likely to call themselves Democrats than are white journalists, especially blacks (70 percent), Asians (63 percent) and Hispanics (59 percent).”
•“The percentage of journalists rating religion or religious beliefs as ‘very important’ is substantially lower (38 percent) than the percentage in the overall U.S. population (61 percent).
•More than half of journalists (51%) said abortion should be “legal under any circumstances,” compared to just four percent who thought abortion should be “illegal in all circumstances.” Among the general public, 33 percent wanted abortion “legal under any circumstances,” and 14 percent thought it should always be illegal.
The pattern continues: The liberal media vs. America. It certainly explains why they support an Occupy Wall Street movement that is bad for America.

Exhibit 1-7: White House Reporters
In 1995, Kenneth Walsh, a reporter for U.S. News & World Report, polled 28 of his fellow White House correspondents from ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Copley, Cox, Hearst, Knight-Ridder, plus Newsweek, Time and U.S. News & World Report, about their presidential voting patterns for his 1996 book Feeding the Beast: The White House versus the Press. Walsh found that his colleagues strongly preferred Democrats, with the White House press corps admitting a total of 50 votes for Democratic candidates compared to just seven for Republicans.
KEY FINDINGS:
•In 1992, nine of the White House correspondents surveyed voted for Democrat Bill Clinton, two for Republican George H. W. Bush, and one for independent Ross Perot.
•In 1988, 12 voted for Democrat Michael Dukakis, one for Bush.
•In 1984, 10 voted for Democrat Walter Mondale, zero for Ronald Reagan.
•In 1980, eight voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter, four for liberal independent John Anderson, and two voted for Ronald Reagan.
•In 1976, 11 voted for Carter, two for Republican Gerald Ford.
•Walsh wrote of the White House press corps members he surveyed: “Even though the survey was anonymous, many journalists declined to reveal their party affiliations, whom they voted for in recent presidential elections, and other data they regarded as too personal — even though they regularly pressure Presidents and other officials to make such disclosures.”
•“Those who did reply seemed to be representative of the larger group. Seven said they were Democrats, eleven were unaffiliated with either major party, and not a single respondent said he or she was a registered Republican (although some might have been but were not willing to say so).”
Ahh, the hidden agenda of the liberal media. But still revealed through their actions.
