Obamavillians or Occupy Wall Street Nuts


The Occupy Wall Street layaboutS may be truly called Obamavillians, a term coined by James Taranto, since they are the creation of the president’s loony left and encouraged by him and congressional democratic leaders in their antics and irrationality.

As they heckled a Romney Rally in Iowa, Romney allows the back and forth to continue for a bit until a man in the crowd comes up with the one line to which the occupiers had no response at all: “Go to work!”. That man said it all and it ought to be repeated every time Obamavillians chant their nonsense.

The occupiers wanted to create a disturbance, but they ended up unifying the audience and making their target look good. That’s bad stagecraft on their part.

A few minutes later, a camera crew interviewed the lead occupier outside Competitive Edge’s building. He was exactly what you would expect: Young, unkempt, evidently unaccomplished. He told the interviewers that he and his friends were there to get their point of view across to contradict Romney’s “support for all these wars.”

The occupiers’ point of view was obvious enough tonight. They’re children, unable to comprehend or accept that not everyone agrees with them. They go for the heckler’s veto, trying to embarrass and shout down opposition. They tried to disrupt the Romney campaign’s carefully planned stagecraft. But at this event, they were owned by an anonymous man in the crowd.

In another place Peter Wehner observes: Obama Enters The Twilight Zone. “We are now reaching the point in which the president is running a truly post-modern campaign, in which there is no objective truth but simply narrative. Obama’s campaign isn’t simply distorting the facts; it is inverting them. This kind of thing isn’t unusual to find in the academy. But to see a president and his campaign so thoroughly deconstruct truth in order to maintain power is quite rare. The sheer audacity of Obama’s cynicism is a wonder of the modern world.”
