Fox blasts Obama for not suppressing Occupy

When our political leaders do us wrong, The Media either defends them or ignores the story. But when our leaders appear to do us right, the press goes after them with red-hot pokers.

We all know there's been a nationwide campaign by the Department of Homeland Security to suppress the Occupy revolution, but Judicial Watch - a far-right legal foundation - says they've found documents saying the Obama administration has actually urged authorities to go easy on Occupy. Fox News is happy to help Judicial Watch's cause, calling Judicial Watch a "watchdog group" and amplifying its complaints.

Fox reports that Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton said of this discovery, "We now have a new GSA scandal - one that involves the Obama White House."

Fox and Judicial Watch call this a "scandal"? That's not a "scandal." It's an honor, not a "scandal." If the White House has urged lenient treatment of Occupy, it's because Occupy is perfectly legal and is a nonviolent movement. When peaceful protesters gather, democratic governments are supposed to go easy. That's part of what makes a democratic republic.

The real scandal is the ongoing suppression against Occupy. If the President said to be soft on Occupy, the DHS and other agencies sure haven't paid heed to what he said. Plus, we know damn well that if Bush was still king, he would have sent in federal troops to bust Occupy within weeks of it starting. Let there be no doubt about that.

Fox News Channel has a history of broadcasting outright lies about Occupy. Now they've created a "scandal" where there is none.
