Leftist Occupiers and Double Standards

From Jamie Glazov, at FrontPage Magazine:

The behavior of the Occupy Wall Street protesters has raised some curious questions about the continuing double standards in our society. When it comes to fascistic leftist behavior, our mainstream media overlooks and excuses it — while conservatives are demonized and blamed for every dead sparrow that falls from the sky. If members of the Tea Party behaved in a fashion similar to the leftist occupiers on Wall Street, their antics would be the target of rabid moral indignation on the front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post and on the lead stories of every cable news show.

Take, for instance, the charming individual whose name is apparently Danny Cline — also known as “Lotion Man.” He is fighting for “social justice” on Wall Street, as can be witnessed in some intriguing videos posted at TheBlaze.com. In one video, he engages in an anti-Semitic verbal attack on an older Jewish man and tells him to “go back to Israel.” Then, in this heart-warming video, he uses extremely profane language and racial slurs — including the N word:

[Warning: very graphic language]

One can’t help from wondering: is there any video out there of a Tea Party member acting this way? No, there isn’t. But if there were, imagine what the Left and the media would do with it and what accusations they would make. In this case, we hear nothing; the media does not report on this individual and the Left does not denounce him. And if the Left were forced to account for Danny Cline’s behavior, its answers would be obvious: he is just a nut that doesn’t represent anything. But we know that this excuse would never wash if Cline was a Tea Partier. It is clear, of course, that the Lotion Man’s behavior represents what the Left truly is at its core: hateful and lusting after destruction. There is no better poster boy for the Left than the Lotion Man.

Well, perhaps not, but I can sure think of a few equally fascistic leftists. This is their currency. But continue reading here.
