Bawk bawk!Mincing little twit Eric Cantor was all for a bunch of heavily-armed old white sociopaths showing up at Obama speeches and Town Hall meetings about, uh, denying health care to children and working people. But if a crowd of polite unemployed people camps out in a park to politely blog about income inequality, then watch out, it’s MOBS. The thing is, the mobs will come for Eric Cantor, sooner or later, but we’re still a long way from that point — and every shred of available evidence suggests that Eric Cantor’s own constituency will be the ones who pry him out of his Lexus or townhouse and coat his pasty nerd flesh with Tar and Feathers, like the real Tea Party did to that naked guy in the HBO adaptation of the John Adams biography. Anyway, Eric is all a-scared!

Revolution is just fine when it’s just a bunch of fat old racists who don’t want to pay their taxes, right? But it’s scary like a Halloween Pumpkin full of butter knives when some educated folks take their MacBooks down to Wall Street and walk around with the nice transit workers.

A top Republican in Congress referred on Friday to Wall Street protesters as “growing mobs” that are trying to divide the country.

In a speech to social conservatives, House of Representatives Majority Leader Eric Cantor said: “I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country.”

“Growing mobs.” That’s really a more apt description for the Hoveround/Rascal crowd with the Don’t Tread On Me mu-muus, don’t you think, Eric?

Anyway, Eric Cantor is scared of a bunch of kids sharing library books and pizzas in a park. And the White House press secretary actually came out of his hole to note that Eric Cantor is a hypocrite. Eric Cantor is also a pussy. [Reuters]

Geezus, a REAL pussy party would have plenty of hot buttered cunt to go around. Eric Cantor's Poophole Party is more like it. Smells bad, full of hot air and shit, and messy results.

Eric Can't or won't see the Truth…

GOPCrusher October 7, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Eric, one of them might fire a gun into the air in Richmond and the bullet may fall into a window in the building you happen to have an office at. Then you could claim an assassination attempt.

Lascauxcaveman October 7, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Everybody knows Occupy Wall Street is a mobbed-up affair.

Jay-Z and new Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov are behind this. I knew David Stern letting the gangbangers and Russian mob together was a bad idea.

Pfft, Eric Cantor is the Tea Party's Don Cornholeone.

I think Eric is looking to be more Moe Green.

Somewhere, today, Eric Cantor woke with a throbbing asshole and no idea why.

This criticism is unfair. Rep. Cantor might get hit with a hackey sack!

CommieLibunatic October 7, 2011 at 3:46 pm

His whining makes me want to hit him in his hackey sack. Maybe with the stars and stripes for good measure.

Eric, the country is already divided. Your problem is having people point that out.

baconzgood October 7, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Eric, YOU and your type has already divided this country. Your problem is now it's turned around and is biting you in the ass.

(FIXED)

Doktor Zoom October 7, 2011 at 4:02 pm

It's only class warfare when somebody complains about income being redistributed upward.

The actual redistribution is not "class warfare" but "Liberty."

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 4:05 pm

His problem is that these people are not trying to divided it, but put it back together.

prommie October 7, 2011 at 3:30 pm

Now remember, a revolution doesn't require marching about openly on a battlefield and getting mowed down by a vastly superior force. Its more like an insurgency. Stuff happens.

Jukesgrrl October 7, 2011 at 4:08 pm

Yes, someone should remind Cantor about that long-ago "squirmish" called the War in Vietnam. Maybe the winners of this one will rename their capital city NoLeaderVille.

PalinzADummy October 7, 2011 at 8:54 pm

The war that wasn't really a war. They never declared war, you know. Just sent 58,000 bodies into the meatgrinder. And brought home so many more broken ones.

OC_Surf_Serf October 7, 2011 at 3:30 pm

“growing mobs”

As compared to the aging and rotting mobs of the Tea Partiers??

Technically, they're growing too. (Fatter.)

baconzgood October 7, 2011 at 3:36 pm

"Believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans," Uh, YEAH they are called Teaparty people. WHAT THE FUCK AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE IT'S HIS PARTY THAT'S BEEN PITTING AMERICANS AGAINS AMERICANS! Now that we protest it's unamerican. Guess you have to be funded by the Koch suckers and wear a funny suit to be a real american.

OC_Surf_Serf October 7, 2011 at 3:42 pm

Well, the tea party really was pitting white people against other hues.

MissusBarry October 7, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Fat old white people against everybody, except the super rich people (and people-corporations)! Including themselves, in their keep-the-gubmint-out-my-medicare-scooters.

Jukesgrrl October 7, 2011 at 4:06 pm

Yes, "thug" is synonymous with "union member," doncha know. Thesaurus libel.

SorosBot October 7, 2011 at 4:11 pm

Now, it depends on the situation; "thug" can mean "union member", but the wingnuts also use it to mean "black person".

glamourdammerung October 7, 2011 at 7:41 pm

I thought they were using Reagan's preferred term for black males, "young bucks".

GOPCrusher October 7, 2011 at 5:45 pm

They also use the term "thug" to describe NBA players.

Democrats pit people against people, whereas with Republicans it's the reverse.

baconzgood October 7, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Oh, I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up.

Doktor Zoom October 7, 2011 at 4:04 pm

No, no, no…The Tea Party pits Real Americans against Traitors, Leeches, and Usurpers.

PalinzADummy October 7, 2011 at 8:57 pm

Baconz? Come back inside, baconz, it's a long way down. Look, we've got nothing in our hands. Just look over here, that's right, don't look down, don't listen to those people. Come on, now, just a little closer.

(drags baconz in off the ledge) Whew!

The article concludes by saying "Cantor's remarks drew mostly silence from the crowd of several hundred people". WTF?

CommieLibunatic October 7, 2011 at 3:49 pm

Well, writing on the wall doesn't make any physical noise, so I guess that's technically correct.

paris biltong October 7, 2011 at 3:57 pm

Stunned silence, probably.

Jukesgrrl October 7, 2011 at 4:03 pm

It was an audience of conservatives, wasn't it? They probably weren't even listening. They were texting the little women at home with instructions on how to dig the shelter at their undisclosed locations.

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 4:08 pm

It was at the Value Voter's thingy this weekend. So they were probably too busy ordering meth, texting their gay lovers, or ordering prostitutes.

Finally, a Republican observes the separation of church and state.

Callyson October 7, 2011 at 4:55 pm

They were too polite to burst out into laughter…or into a mob…

Negropolis October 7, 2011 at 10:34 pm

I noticed this when I was watching it. After he finished calling them a mob, you could tell he was waiting for applause, but not a single person took the bait.

Maybe I'm naive, but I think outside of the political class, even a lot of conservatives are looking at the Wall Street protest, and while they are probably put off that this is mostly a movement on the left, they may also be starting to realize that they share common ground with them. They'll never praise them, and they are probably uncomfortable with the fact that the left is doing this, but they might finally be realizing how fucking ridiculous it would be to actively be on the other side of these protestors.

There is something going on, here, that seems to be making the political class, left and right, really nervous, and maybe even more so then when the tea party rose up if this thing keeps getting bigger. You see, you could get the tea party to show up sporadically at townhalls, but this thing happening is a physical, sustained occupation. It's happening in the town squares and plazas the way the tea party was not.

Dashboard_Jesus October 8, 2011 at 1:38 am

amen brother, and we gonna be DOWNTOWN tomorrow (ok today) bringin' it to the PEOPLE!

Indiepalin October 8, 2011 at 2:02 am

Yeah. I just watched Bill Maher and he said the same thing. Great minds…

Radiodead October 8, 2011 at 2:29 am

Exactly. I have been say saying that since last weekend. Me thinks doth protest too much.
But I'd still like to hear more about Glass-Steagall, Citizen's United and a 3% marginal tax rat hike on the wealthy.

nounverb911 October 7, 2011 at 3:38 pm

Cantor needs more primary challengers.

Monsieur_Grumpe October 7, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I think he got beat up a lot in high school but not nearly enough.

Radiodead October 7, 2011 at 3:40 pm

And Cantor also knows this groundswell has the full, unwavering support of the Democratic Party and the President. Oh wait, these folks are on their own. So, in that case, dickheads like this sure seem to be pretty upset.

GOPCrusher October 7, 2011 at 5:47 pm

I'm surprised that the media has been reporting on this for almost a whole week and not one Tea Bagger has accused it of being funded by George Soros.
Maybe they are saving that for the Sunday Noise Shows.

JustPixelz October 7, 2011 at 3:41 pm

In the plain language of the Constitution, "the right to peaceably assemble". That isn't limited to people you agree with, Mr. Cantor.

And — may I remind everyone — the original Boston Tea Party was an act of vandalism and larceny. Of particular interest to todays TP'ers is that their namesakes, dumped the private property of a British job creator (tea distribution) in the harbor.

Eric Chancre is such a painful boil on the ass of America. To improve your understanding of the 'tards that put him in office, Alex Pareene, former Wonkette Editor and current janitor at the Saloon, has a new book out on the history of the Tea Peoples.

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 3:42 pm

What is wrong with you people? Clearly, a bunch of people without guns or tricorn hats are clearly a violent threat to this nation! The drone attacks should have started days ago!!!!

Graham Cracker October 7, 2011 at 3:42 pm

“Growing mobs.” That’s really a more apt description for the Hoveround/Rascal crowd with the Don’t Tread On Me mu-muus, don’t you think, Eric?

"Growing slobs" more like it.

Speaking of "bedrock principles" … Eric better hope the mobs he fears aren't quite as attached to the Second Amendment as the mobs he loves.

See, the Tea Party rallies were exactly like John Lennon's bed-in, whereas Occupy Wall Street is exactly like the Spartacist Uprising. Remember, Eric Cantor — Rosa Luxemburg died in the streets; Lenin died in his bed.

Wait, what?

Buckminster October 7, 2011 at 6:38 pm

yay! You win Friday!

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 3:46 pm

So, just so I'm sure I have this right:

1) Yelling at Congress People while wearing funny clothing for them to get their government hands off your medicare and stating that it is time for a new American Revolution. Good.

2) Hanging out in a park discussing the problems with corporate capitalism and how it is getting in the way of the American dream for more and more people. Violent threat to our nation.

I believe Mr. Cantor should have started his speech with "While I have no facts to back this statement…."

Buckminster October 7, 2011 at 6:40 pm

Or, "Ignorant as I am of what either the Tea Party movement or the Occupy Wall Street movement are all about, I'm going to flap my quivering gums for the waiting mainstream media anyway." Then, goes and hides in the toilet, where we are all waiting to give him a swirly.

Barrelhse October 7, 2011 at 3:46 pm

Don't be concerned, Eric. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid, you ass-hole licking little fuck.

Monsieur_Grumpe October 7, 2011 at 3:47 pm

Somewhere there must be list of people to be rounded up after the revolution. Where do I submit Cantor's name? His head would look good on a pike. N'est-ce pas?

FlownOver October 7, 2011 at 5:27 pm

I've been working on the list, in fact. Weasel Boy is in line right after the douchenozzles waving their champagne glasses from the balcony.

Message to the latter: Come down and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles.

baconzgood October 7, 2011 at 3:48 pm

Watch out Eric. You better get on the band wagon with one if you want to keep your job for a while. See, Baconz will explain: Tea party has lotsa lotsa oldz that will be dead soon = NO VOTES. The protests at OWS are, for the most part, very young people that are now motivated to vote. Now that they have a taste for political action they are will jones it election cycle after election cycle.

Furthermore to show you how serious they are: the Tea baggers were funded by billionaires and got instant media coverage. These kids are confronting billionaires and have been waiting in NYC during the fall for 3 weeks before the media noticed. And then only after mace and battons were taken out on them. The tea party doesn't have the sustaining strength to camp out for 3 weeks with no news coverage and bull horns. So carefull. These aren't the motivated constituency you want to ostracise. This is why I don't understand why the Democrats aren't kissing these people's asses and throwing support their way. Talk about tenacious canvassers.

GunToting[Redacted] October 7, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Yeah, but George Soros and Michael Moore were delivering them pizzas, so conspiracy.

MOG2410 October 7, 2011 at 4:33 pm

Apparently, Eric is too young to remember the anti-war rallies (read mobs) of the 60's. Yeah, pitting people against people – the ones who didn't want to die for nothing against the people who wanted to send them off to die. He's in for a big surprise. The Dems should be in Zuccotti park buying lattes for everyone.

Sharkey October 7, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Dear baconz,

They may be serious, but I just don't like them.

Yours,
Eric Cantor

Jukesgrrl October 7, 2011 at 3:51 pm

The mobs Eric Can't should be worried about are the mobs moving their life savings out of the big banks and into the credit unions. Not to mention the mobs that already spent their life savings paying their heat and light bills.

Cantor, Boehner, McConnell. Hate them all. It was never personal with WALNUTS! or Bob Dole or even Chimpy. But these three are personally distasteful to me and, one hopes, others.

Rotundo_ October 7, 2011 at 6:48 pm

Chimpster is where it all started for me. Before that I knew that Reagan was an actor playing a role scripted by the RNC, and he played well, even well into alheimers in the second term. But Dubya crystallized the essence of the modern post Reagan republican party. No pretense, utter transparency, no morals, no ethics no public interest politics played strictly on a cash basis. Even ideology gets trumped with this bunch when someone buys them. The trio you mention are "La Creme De La Santorum" of this party, but they are legion and all are ravenously opportunistic fear freak scum with not a whit of decency left. There is no moderation or dissent within the republican party.

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 7, 2011 at 7:01 pm

That’s so funny tears are running down my cheeks. Or sad, not sure which.

"empty vessel?" As in, shoved up his poop-chute?

fartknocker October 7, 2011 at 3:58 pm

So Eric is scared about public assemblies where his perspective is not embraced by the participants. Eric, since you were so concerned about the people of Joplin, MO after the EF5 tornado that you threatened to fund any of the emergency responders or FEMA until something to your liking was cut from the Federal budget, I have an alternate idea.

Because you are so scared of the people and voters, why don't you use your campaign funds to pay for your own security at all future public assembly events. No Secret Service, no Federal Protective Service, no FBI, ATF or Federal Marshals, no state troopers and no local or county law enforcement. You pay for it all by your self.

I'm tired of you sucking on the taxpayer teet you whiny little goat fuck.

Jerri October 7, 2011 at 3:58 pm

That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.

"I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country.” Eric went on to say "GET OFF MY LAWN OR I'LL CALL YOUR PARENTS DOWN HERE!!!!"

AlaskaGrrl October 7, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Koch money funded = democracy in action
Actual democracy = mobs

You just have to look at it from the viewpoint of a Scalia or a Roberts or a Thomas. It's really very simple.

Billmatic October 7, 2011 at 4:08 pm

I would like to point out that the Austin mob is mostly Paultards with signs like STOP THE FED NOW. Those morons successfully co-opted at least one city's demonstration. Problem is everyone's too huggy here and they won't make the Paultards and the Alex Jones freaks protest against the Federal Reserve and the Lizardmen in another area like they did in Houston.

Oh and the mob is almost entirely white.

MissusBarry October 7, 2011 at 4:10 pm

Goodness, but I always hope to run into him coming out of Nelly's or Remington's (I mean, he's as gay as all his cohorts, yes), late, while it's dark, and I happen to have just found a piece of rebar on the sidewalk.

GOPCrusher October 7, 2011 at 5:55 pm

Must be from all that de-paving of our streets.

Not enough guns. He doesn't feel safe among all those unarmed people.

Monsieur_Grumpe October 7, 2011 at 4:17 pm

From the Rueter's article:
"Cantor's remarks drew mostly silence from the crowd of several hundred people."

GOPCrusher October 7, 2011 at 5:56 pm

Probably time to take a step back and review your approach when you can't whip a crowd up into a good old fashioned tizzy.

Generation[redacted] October 7, 2011 at 4:17 pm

Mobs are people, too, my friend.

Jukesgrrl October 7, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Cantor, don't expect any respect-for-the-office from the American people. When funding for public schools is cut drastically, civics classes are the first to go. People under the age of 30 don't even know what a House Majority Leader is.

MOG2410 October 7, 2011 at 4:37 pm

Uh, yup. "I'm Just A Bill" will be shown in all schools to avoid any issues. Schoolhouse ROCK!

Buckminster October 7, 2011 at 6:43 pm

Cantor doesn't know what a statesman is, that's for sure.

Geminisunmars October 7, 2011 at 4:21 pm

You know who else was concerned about growing mobs?

"Mons pubis" is just a term that you don't hear in common speech enough anymore.

Callyson October 7, 2011 at 5:04 pm

“I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country.”
I am also concerned, Representative Cantor. I am very concerned about the Wall Street executives and others in the financial services industry across the country who were not effectively regulated because the financial regs had to be watered down to pass even the 111th Congress, and now they are engaging in the same kinds of irresponsible activities that led to the 2008 implosion.
You *are* talking about them, right?

Goonemeritus October 7, 2011 at 5:20 pm

“People should not be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

So we finally seem to be getting this right.

barto October 7, 2011 at 5:23 pm

What kind of scoliast morans does he take us for, anyhow?

owhatever October 7, 2011 at 5:31 pm

And how would the NYPD, Dainty Eric Cantor, and the GOP react if Occupy Wall $treet protesters show up at the park this weekend with Glock, Smith & Wesson and Colt pistols holstered on their raggedy jeans, and all necessary permits?

Ohforcripessake October 7, 2011 at 5:34 pm

"Don’t Tread On Me mu-muus"

Wonkette Jr., you ROCK!

metamarcisf October 7, 2011 at 5:38 pm

This from Redstate, on the differences in the demonstrators:

"the Tea Partiers are employed and don’t smell."

Kind of ironic, don't you think? Like a black fly in your Chardonnay…

Ayn Rand Paul Tard October 7, 2011 at 5:52 pm

New Princess Tea Party slogan: Don't Tread on Bankers!

JackObin October 7, 2011 at 5:52 pm

Eric Cantor. Is he a Yid? In Virginia? Does the mob of rednecks down thar know this?

metamarcisf October 7, 2011 at 5:55 pm

"Today I went to an Occupy Wall St. rally and a hockey game broke out."

Ha ha, that Glenn Beck! Kill me now!

BarackMyWorld October 7, 2011 at 6:12 pm

Just add this to the list of things Republicans have freaked out about only after someone besides them started doing it.

The LONG list.

Tundra Grifter October 7, 2011 at 6:28 pm

Actually, he said "Growing Mobs" – if you're going to smoke weed and bang on your bongos all day, you're probably going to have to farm your own pot.

rocktonsam October 7, 2011 at 6:37 pm

Twerp is a perfect name for this asshole.

Buckminster October 7, 2011 at 6:46 pm

Have you noticed if a Dem cries foul for boorish behavior, they tell us to man up and take it, but if a REpug cries foul, whether there's any real offence or not, they all get butt-hurt and snivelly about it?

glamourdammerung October 7, 2011 at 7:36 pm

It is called "political correctness".

Chet Kincaid October 7, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Yeah, it's not just the Press Secretary – Obama has been stepping up his rhetoric and naming names (Republicans) for weeks now, which has gotten zero coverage on Wonkette. Isn't that what you people have been cryin' about since December – giving a good fight and soundbites regardless of actually "winning" on anything?

Woohoo! Damn straight, Monsieur Chet!

Shhh! We're too emotionally invested in the narrative to stop now!

padremickey October 7, 2011 at 7:14 pm

After comparing photos of the Occupy Wall Street protestors with photos of the Tea Party protestors, I believe OWS could take the TP in a fight. And, after comparing the hand lettered signs carried by both groups, I believe the OWS protestors would whip the TP in a Spelling Bee.

user-of-owls October 7, 2011 at 10:05 pm

But the TP would likely thrash the OWS on "America's Biggest Losers." Well, theoretically anyway.

Considering my life-long affection, yea love affair, with pussy, I object to the comparison. Young Master Cantor is more cunt than pussy. A cunt being defined as an un-fuckable pussy: see Ann Coulter.

archikvetch October 8, 2011 at 4:50 pm

This is a very useful distinction. Tip of the hat, sir!

user-of-owls October 7, 2011 at 10:08 pm

The only way the depiction "growing mobs" would be accurate is if it was used in relation to "hydroponic system."

gurukalehuru October 8, 2011 at 3:24 am

OWS=growing mobs
Tea Party=growing moobs

Isyaignert October 8, 2011 at 1:09 pm

Eric Can'tor = Dr. Frankenstein. His creation is going to turn on him any day now. The 'baggers are starting to show up at the Occupy sites.

I fukkin' hate that mofo twerp douchebag and all the rest of those criminals in the MOB known as the Republicon party.

You think the "Occupy Wall Street crowd is scary, just try to have a polite discussion about the economy, healthcare, or tax increases for the wealthy with a couple of Tea Partiers. You better be ready to run if you open your mouth!!!

fitley October 8, 2011 at 6:16 pm

If I acted like the sniveling little turd Eric, I'd be getting a little nervous myself. Somebody should punch him in his wee nutsack. And then fart on his face and shove his head in a toilet and give him a swirly.

Plus, you get to go while the going's good, you know, before all the riots and mutants and stuff. Look on the bright side.
