Oakland mayor admits cities coordinated crackdown on Occupy movement

Oakland mayor admits cities coordinated crackdown on Occupy movement. Blue city mayors decide “misery loves company”? And this: “Might it also be more than a coincidence that this succession of police raids started after President Obama left the US for an extended tour of the Pacific Rim?” Uh, yeah. Obama tried to capitalize on leftist street theatre that became a nightmare of violence, disease and feces. Leaving town lets him avoid embarrassing questions.

  • OBlowme has an habitual habit of running like a bat outta hell when the heat gets too high. You won't see him down by the OWS camps taking a sniff of the 3 months of shit laying all over the place. He don't want to recognize the filth and sickness that's spreading all over. He's AFRAID of getting too close to a bunch of criminals, molesters and hobos because he's royalty and that dirt does his bidding. This POTUS SCUM is the most sissified lil bitch I've ever seen for a person of his position. You know he has them in mind while he smokes his Hawaian gungi, sees a few of his boyfriends and pigs out at the luwau. Then it's back to bidness as usual--CAMPAIGNING.

  • Oh yeah, news from the Red Lagoon today: apparently here in Mass, our Sen. Brown is already airing some ads linking Elizardeth Warren with the Fleabaggers. The room's resident Behemoth Hag started a rousing circle-jerk of "Oh that's awful! That's not gonna do him any good!" like everyone just LOVES the whiney-whine percent. She's so far gone, even some of the OTHER leftards I'm incarcerated with laugh at her behind her back!

    • I would'nt right off Warren, you are in MA, & they have sent the following to Capital Hill...

      Ted Kennedy
      John Kennedy
      John Kerry
      Barney Frank
      Jerry Studs

      ...& Michael Dukakis tried to go national as well. Plus, at a local level, Boston has the Mayor for life, the mushmouth Thomas Menino. Don't underestimate the power of voters to elect the worst possible people to power. You do it in MA, & we do it all the time in MN.

  • I think Obama and the blue city mayors decided that OWS was becoming a liability. Ordinary working people were getting tired of the noise, filth and disruption while Democrat politicians (who had initially embraced the demonstrations) realized that things were getting nasty and even the MSM was losing patience with the Occubots.

    So the mayors acted while Obama was conveniently out of town (somewhere in Asia or Hawaii) and out of the picture.

    Both sides will claim victory and things should quiet down as winter weather sets in and the Occubots and their handlers reconsider strategy. I think things will heat up again when the Presidential conventions convene next year. This is just a temporary setback for the Left which is well funded (by Soros, unions and rich leftists) and never, never quits.

  • Hmm. Food for thought. Possibly the good cop/bad cop shtick combined with bet-hedging? This way Sock Puppet can say, "Hey they wouldn't have dared do that to you if I was in town!" if there's any negativity, but still claim credit for being in charge if there's enough good feeling about it.

    Unless of course, the mayors were deliberately cutting him out, to be on the safe side themselves, the way DoD did when the 6ers got Socky's hero.
