Fox News: Plot to blow up Ohio Bridge potential 'Occupy' link

Failed plot to blow up Ohio bridge highlights potential 'Occupy' link to violence

"I think most people involved with the Occupy Movement are innocent, but it creates an environment that encourages criminal behavior," said Rep. Peter King, (R-N.Y.), who heads the House Committee on Homeland Security. "What they [occupiers] do is create a climate for wackos to carry out their plans."

Funny they think linking this plot to 'Occupy' is logical but totally give Nugent a pass for his violent words at the NRA.

Quote:Said King: "Irresponsible words have irresponsible consequences. Once you have something incited you can't stop it."

Apparently the intrepid reporters at FAUX haven't heard of Black Bloc disruptors (who OCCUPY has denounced time and time again).

They may even be paid by the right.

Anything Fox wraps it's talking points around you can bet it's preordained. This is one more thing that has 'exploded' since the GOP started gathering behind Willard's election chances. Maybe Issa can have a hearing and send out a couple subpoenas on it.

Where are the invitative reporters looking into BB? I've only seen them mentioned on Twitter.

I don't know how much they are looking into the, but I do know that The Seattle Times, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and our local TV stations all identifed Black Bloc as the ones who smashed windows and defaced buildings here during the May Day march here. I guess that's a step in the right direction instead of just doing a blanket blame of all the demonstrators/protesters/marchers as has been done in the past.

As usually, the MSM is either being lazy or purposely conflating BB with anything Occupy does. BB has caused strife in several Occupy events and isn't going away anytime soon.

As even our local Fox affiliate noted, the would be bombers tried but failed to find recruits at the Occupy event.

The connection to Occupy is that they were rejected by Occupy.

Ha, peaceful demonstations for equality creates an environment that encourages criminal behavior - but demonstrations against 1/2 the population and for carrying guns at all times, doesn't.

Which makes me wonder if any Romney supporters going to Obama's rally in Columbus tomorrow will be "packing".

It sounds more like he's talking about:
Congress under Republican control.
The border guard nuts.
A Ted Nugent concert.
Glenn Beck's show.
Any Fox "News" show.
NRA spreading conspiracies and paranoia.
Sarah Palin's twitter page.
And obviously, any Tea Party meeting.

And there are also right wing morons who insist the marches for Trayvon Martin would "turn into riots." That didn't happen either.
