Phony Eric Cantor praises Tea Party movement, but criticizes Occupy Wall Street protesters
Here is a phony named Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, a dull young congressman clearly aspiring to be an even duller presidential candidate someday, calling the Occupy Wall Street people a "mob."

Oh, sure. Cantor makes it sound as if he can't get a good night's sleep these days worrying about the "growing mobs occupying Wall Street and other cities across our country." He then goes on to say that "some in have condoned pitting Americans against Americans."

So in Cantor's world the Tea Party is an exciting grass-roots movement and Occupy Wall Street is a bunch of seditionists. Here is what he really means when he worries about Americans being pitted against other Americans:

People who don't think like him being a clear and present danger to people who do.

Mike Lupica is also a sportswriter and an ESPN contributor. (He has written some very good young adult novels revolving around sports.)

Apparently he has taken the time to visit OWS and talk to some protestors as opposed to many who blather about them out of empty heads. Lupica has sized up Cantor very well.

5. Good article. Sadly their poll showed a vast majority against the protestors.
I think it was about eightysomething perent checking off do not agree with the protesters; they don't know what they're fighting for.
