Occupy DC protesters to "Occupy CPAC"

CBS

Conservatives are coming to Washington Thursday for their annual conference, but the folks at Occupy DC want to shake things up a bit for the convention goers.

The Occupy DC movement plans to protest the four-day Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in an attempt to "liberate discourse," the protestors said Tuesday.

"This event is another gathering of bigots, media mouthpieces, corrupt politicians, and their 1 percent elite puppet masters," the announcement said.

The annual conference is a chance for conservatives to gather to hear speeches from politicians and other influential members of their movement. Among those expected to speak are candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. Former candidates Rick Perry, Herman Cain and are also scheduled to address the gathering.

In an interview with CBS News Political Hotsheet, Occupy DC media team member Justin Smith said no specific details of the demonstrations are set. However, they want to make clear that the movement will stand toe-to-toe with convention attendees all the way to November's election.

"We want to make sure that attendees of CPAC - those people who will ultimately do the work of the 1 percent - know that from the moment they get their marching orders, we'll be challenging them the whole way," Smith said.

CPAC spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said they are aware of Occupy DC's plan and called their tactics "unfortunate." Campbell added that the safety of CPAC's attendees is their chief concern.

"Our team is prepared and has a security plan in place," Campbell said.

Occupy organizers are upset about the scheduled CPAC debate "Taking Back Wall Street: The Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street," a discussion in which no representative of the Occupy Wall Street movement is scheduled to speak.

"It's remarkably telling that it's titled what it is because in fact we have a lot of common ground with the Tea Party," Smith said. "CPAC is trying to drive a wedge between" our two movements.

On Saturday, seven people were arrested as U.S. Park Police in riot gear tore down tents and drove out protesters who created permanent camps in DC's McPherson Square.

Smith hopes that by the conclusion of CPAC an "organic dialogue" will be established with Tea Partiers and others prepared to engage in common ground efforts.

"Maybe we could sit down like human beings and have a conversation about what's going on in the country," he said, "and look for solutions instead of having cartoon representations of our political viewpoints."

How can we sit down as humans and have a discussion after you have put one of ours in the hospital and several of you are in jail?

Oh, and talk about helping the 1%, the $500 mil that went to Solyndra, its owned by a guy that helped collect money for the Obama canpaign and he just happens to be the 20th wealthiest man in America, yeah a millionaire/billionaire. If you support Obama now, you're a bigger fraud than he is.

Occupy is funded by the Saudi Dictator as a WAR ON AMERICA. The Saudi Dictators declared WAR ON ANY DEMOCRACY with the Saudi written Sharia Law and Saudi written Sharia Compliant Finance Laws.

Sadly, this is the same plan Hitler used over 3/4 century ago. The Saudi Dictators puppets are called Blackshirts. They are paid to turn legal, peaceful protests into illegal riots. They are paid to break the law by throwing rocks, starting fires and lying about police brutality.

They haven't figured out yet that it is against to law to INCITE RIOTS in America. So if you see any of these low gene pool idiots breaking the law or telling others to break the law, pull out your cameras and film it. Then turn the film immediately over to the police or the FBI.

I personally like the freedom to protest. These idiots are trying to take that away from me. Their plan is ancient history.

INCITE RIOTS => "SAUDI PUPPET OBAMA'S MARTIAL LAW DICTATORSHIP" => SUSPEND THE CONSTITUTION AND CONGRESS

These Saudi Dictator fools actually think it will work, and have paid the Saudi Dictator's Muslim Brotherhood to throw the rocks, hack computers and incite riots.

So your camera is your best weapon. Just film the idiots and turn the film over to police. Listen on the Occupy websites and report any Inciting to Riot idiots to the police. Listen on the #OWS twitter and the OWS facebook sites and report illegal activity of these idiots to the police.

Then the police can ship them all back to the bloody, genocidal Saudi Dictators. The Saudis will probably chop off their heads in the town square without a trial. This is Saudi Dictator's form of Sunday afternoon entertainment.

That's why these idiots don't seem too bright. The bloody Saudi Dictators chop off the heads of the bright ones, those who speak out against the Saudi Dictators. This eliminates the brighter citizens and their genes. The genes left over are very deficient and lacking even common sense.

You may be absolutely correct and likely are. However, dissent is patriotic. From the thrust of your posting I'm inclined to believe you're in favor of sacrificing civil liberties for protection (which incidentally increases your vulnerability to terrorism).

...because pushing old ladies down the stairs and holding hundreds of people hostage against their will (AKA Kidnapping) just isn't enough for society's dead beats.

Get a job...and a haircut...after you take a shower.

The Flea baggers are at it again! How many will take a dumb on police cars or rape someone this time?

These protest represent the lowest of the low of our society it is an embarrassment to see them on the news. They look like a bunch dirty grimy 60's hippies every time they show them.

Flea bagging dirt balls wanting handouts stolen from rich is all they are!

OWS embodies a level of bigotry against "the rich". Their divisive and hostile rhetoric and approach are coming from a place of twisted bigotry and economic illiteracy. They complain about "the rich" not paying their fair share, yet "the rich" are the ones paying most of the tax revenue.

OWS is literally infected with bigotry and ignorance, which renders is largely irrelevant and fully ineffective.
