The Occupiers are literally shitting on the police and the White House is defending them . . . unreal.

(Washington Times) — The White House is criticizing House GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s description of Wall Street protesters as a “mob,” saying the activists compare favorably with the tea party movement.

“I don’t understand why, you know, one man’s mob is another man’s democracy,” presidential press secretary Jay Carney said Friday.

He added that he sees “a little hypocrisy unbound” in Mr. Cantor’s comments because the GOP leader previously has described tea party activists as democracy in action.

“I think that what we’re seeing on the streets of New York is an expression of democracy,” Mr. Carney said. “I think both are expressions that are totally consistent with the American democratic tradition.”

Mr. Cantor, in a speech to the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington Friday, said he was “increasingly concerned by the growing mobs” and criticized Democrats who are praising the protesters.

“Some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans,” the Virginia Republican said.
