So if Republicans demonstrate it is patriotic but if people demonstrate against them then those people are a mob and are demonstrating "against Americans." Double standards don't exist right?

Why is Eric Cantor afraid of the Occupy Wall Street? Let's explore it. He knows this is something real and growing. He knows they are not going away. He knows what they are saying is true. He knows his party (Republicans) has showed their hand way to soon and have chosen the wrong side of this movement. He knows the pledge he signed to be able to run for Congress is wrong. He knows when the political armor starts to get dents and crumble his fellow congressmen will be pointing those sharp fingers. He knows the American People will be voting those out of office they feel have sold out. So why won't he change before all this happens?
He Cant or he will lose his leadership role.
He Cant or the rich won't get richer.
He Cant or the rich who pat him on the back now won't support him.
He Cant or his chances for winning his seat back will be nil.
He Cant or his former buddies on hate radio will crucify him.
He Cant or the tea party will run someone in the primaries to defeat him.
He Cant or the interview about how sorry he is for being wrong and ruining millions of people's lives will bring disgrace.

Cantor ought to be concerned now that he has come out on the wrong side of America. He is supporting the Billionaire Koch Brothers "needs" above the 99% of Americans. He better be concerned.

The GOP and it's zombies are out of touch with the American people. It is time to vote each and every one of them out of their current thrones. Let's take back their tieras and jeweled crowns and sit them back in the ranks of the masses - never to be heard from again. Eric Cantor calling the Occupy Wall Street movement a "Mob" is outrageous and should not be tolerated from a snotty nosed upstart who needs to be spanked and put in his place. VOTE HIM OUT!!!

If the protestors were anti-Obama, Eric, you wouldn't be saying they're a "mob" or "playing the victim card," or that it's "they're fault" that they're unemployed or underemployed or not rich. You'd be supporting them and saying that they were victims of Obama's policy and that it WASN"T their fault for being unemployed and not rich, but Obama's. YET, they'd be the same exact people in the same exact condition whom you now condemn.

You can't have it both ways Eric. You can't get on television and blame Obama for the 9% unemployment rate and then turn around and blame
people who are unemployed that it's their fault just because you and Cain haven't been successful in "brainwashing" them to support your cause. It suggests that you are mentally unstable, and therefore unqualified to speak for the Party let alone represent ALL the people in your District.

Mr. Cantor, you have been the choir leader for pitting Americans against Americans! Occupy Wall Street is simply proof that you and your following do not represent all Americans!
