Obama Administration Refuses To Condemn Rioting Occupiers In Chicago During NATO Summit

Can you imagine their reaction if this had been the Tea Party?

Wendell Goler: The President has voiced support for the Occupy folks in the past, or at least their goals, did their actions in Chicago sour his support?

Jay Carney: Well I think you’re making broad comparisons between .. uh .. uh .. different groups, what the President has said in the past is .. uh .. he has understood .. uh .. the frustrations Americans have about (pause) the (pause) failure in particular of Wall Street in some cases to .. uh .. uh, (pause) well obviously Wall Street’s role in the financial crisis that precipitated the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Irony: Bill Ayers Teaching Occupy Chicago Protesters Non-Violence

A former Weather Underground terrorist is teaching Occupy Chicago non-violence. You just can't make stuff like this up.

Controversial activist, professor and author Bill Ayers was videotaped recently giving advice about non-violent protesting to Occupy Chicago protesters.

Filmed last month by Education Action Group, EAG-TV, and posted on their YouTube page, the video shows Ayers teaching a group of protesters in a "teach-in."

Ayers made headlines in 2008 when his connection to then-candidate Barack Obama were crystallized -- perhaps most notably -- by Sarah Palin who accused Obama of "palling around with terrorists."

During the teach-in, Ayers preached inclusion. When asked if violence was a necessary step to increase the Occupy movement, Ayers tells the listeners violence is not the answer instead protesters should use their brilliance, humor, wisdom and body to "dramatize the violence that exists".

“Real class acts, the Chicago Board of Trade,” tweeted Occupy Chicago. “This week, it’s McDonald’s job applications they litter from the windows. Soulless place.”

This is the second incident between the two groups, following Chicago Board of Trade’s “We Are The 1%” missive plastered on their windows last month.

Washington Times freelancer Peter Bella reports that unlike other cities, the Occupy Chicago movement “does not have a permanent encampment. They have a one half block stretch each on LaSalle Street and Jackson Boulevard,” across the street from the Board Of Trade, and have been relatively peaceful.
