But..but...we were told all white Republicans were racists...


Via History.com:
[...]Most prominent in counties where the races were relatively balanced, the KKK engaged in terrorist raids against African-Americans and white Republicans at night, employing intimidation, destruction of property, assault, and murder to achieve its aims and influence upcoming elections.

Occupy Tucson's Dumbest Fight Video

These people are pathetic. Watch the video for the comedy value.



TUCSON – The Occupy Tucson movement turned violent this morning as one apparent member shoved several other occupiers, and another grabbed the camera of a News 4 Tucson photojournalist, and at one point, tried to tackle him.
Some Occupiers are saying there is a split in the movement – who is leading it and how they should go forward are point of contention within the group.
News 4 Tucson’s Andrew Melendez attempted to capture a moment of conflict this morning, and became the target of one of the occupiers.
Melendez says the protesters grabbed his camera, and attempted to tackle him at one point. Another protester, identified as “Ivan,” shoves and chases several other members, including community activist Mary DeCamp, who has been heavily involved in the Occupy Tucson movement.
