Power mad, subhuman geeks
by digby
I haven’t read Powerline in years but they keep coming up in various feeds as primary purveyors of the dehumanization of Occupy theme, so I have been checking in and they don’t disappoint. (The New York Post wins first prize, though.)
This shouldn’t come as a big surprise. John Hindrocket’s visceral revulsion toward liberals has long been evident. Even back in 2005, he appeared to be getting ready to pack up some survival gear and head for the hills in the face of the threat:
By “the left” I’m including almost the entire Democratic Party, you can count the exceptions on your fingers, you can name them, Zell Miller, Joe Lieberman…The whole mainstream of the party is engaged in an effort that is a betrayal of America, what they care about is not winning the war on terror…I don’t think they care about the danger to us as Americans or the danger to people in other countries. They care about power.
Those were the good old days. Now, the Democratic Party has devolved into untermenschen who openly masturbate in public, defecate in the streets and throw blood and urine around to intimidate their enemies, the small businessman:
THE OCCUPIERS: HOW DISGUSTING CAN THEY GET?
One thing we can say for sure is that you do not want to be in the food service business anywhere near the Occupiers. In New York, they have driven the owner of a shop called Panini & Co. Breads, which has the misfortune of being located across the street from Zuccotti Park, to distraction. And she tried to be nice to them:
A business owner near the Occupy Wall Street encampment claims she has been repeatedly harassed and threatened with bodily harm by protesters after she and her employees refused to give in to their outlandish demands.
“I’ve been told, ‘Watch your back!’ 10 times,” Stacey Tzortzatos, owner of Panini & Co. Breads, located across from Zuccotti Park, told The Post yesterday.
She and her employees are terrified by the constant threats, which she said began after she demanded the protesters stop using her shop’s restroom as a place to bathe every day.
The final straw came about two weeks ago, when the demonstrators broke a bathroom sink, flooding the shop, and clogged the toilet — setting her back $3,000 in damages.
“I have the police in here 10 times a day, [and] I’m the bouncer. I’ve been called the spawn of the devil. “It’s unbelievable what goes on in here every day, ” Tzortzatos said.
And on Friday, she said, a crazed squatter burst into the shop and demanded that workers fill a 10-gallon container of water.
When they refused, “he banged it on the ground and started yelling” and threatened the staff, she said. “He said he was entitled to have it for free.”
The Occupier philosophy!
Tzortzatos said the unsafe conditions begin at around 5 p.m. every day, when “they come from the park drunk, under the influence of something.
“They use one of our doorways as a bathroom, and we have to scrub it down every morning.
“I’ve had people come in here and yell, ‘Boycott! Boycott!’
“They unplugged my ATM machine and plugged in their computers,” Tzortzatos said.
Hey, they may be disgusting in every possible way, but at least they have laptops.
A similarly appalling story comes from across the country, in San Diego:
A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents. …
Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.
And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio. …
In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.
Feed us for free or we’ll kill you! The Occupiers really are the living embodiment of the Democratic Party.
And can you believe it, they want free water too!
If you put Hindrocket’s thesis together you find that he believes the Democratic Party (the Democratic party!) consists of a bunch of technically skilled, power mad, bloodthirsty, subhuman beasts. I guess if I believed that I’d be frightened too.
