This is essentially the difference between people who see the world through partisan eyes and people who see the world for the way it is. You know, reality?
I mean idiotic, baseless claims that people who claim to have been raped are somehow plants of the Tea Party or police.
I sincerely hope that no member of their family is ever the victim of such a crime. But how do you think these very people would feel if their loved ones were raped and then accused of lying about it? They would be righteously indignant, and I would be in total agreement with them. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge the human dignity of these people who went to an event with good intentions, and were violated in the worst way that you can?
Nobody is saying everybody at these events are rapists, but it's clearly an issue. Stop being ideologues for a moment and try being human beings.

go ahead and say that you are not a partisan.
Consider it a dare
now there is a difference between believing that the right of assembly, free speech and ending taxation without representation are valid issues and endorsing rape.
Here lies the problem with how you guys have tried thus far to paint the Occupiers in a bad light.
You have called political wolf so many times that you are not trusted on the topic as a critic of the movement as a non partisan. Thats just saying what is happening. I admire the tenacity that you defend your positions with, but....
the whole pee and poo thing? it was below where you need to be as an american.
What needs to happen? The police need to do their job... protect and serve the people... without consideration for their politics.
The police are dropping the ball by attacking these people verbally and physically, instead of getting in there and doing law enforcement without encroaching on civil rights.
IF the police are incapable of talking to the public and treat them as the enemy, then they have created a problem. They have removed the law enforcers from the inner workings of the protests.
If Women are getting raped, then it is a failure of the police to deal with the protesters.
You do NOT take rights away if the task before you is too hard. If you cannot protect and serve the people, then quit and get out of the way so that people who actually need jobs and are desperate for work can have them, who actually understand what these people have been enduring for a decade.
This rape thing is todays subterfuge. Its todays way of blaming the people for not being protected BY the police that have already been attacked BY the police.
Its ludicrous and its PARTISAN
