IT HAS BEEN DECREED: OBAMUNIST ANGRY MOBS ARE FINE. AMERICAN ANGRY MOBS ARE NOT.

Because they dare to question The State. They are not serving their master as they should.

Conservative Punk:

In April, when it suited him politically, Obama harnessed the power of the pitchfork wielding mob to bring the major banks to heel. This from an April 3rd article from The Politico that described a meeting Mr. Obama had with the CEO’s of the major banks:

“These are complicated companies,” one CEO said. Offered another: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.”

But President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

So it’s acceptable when anger is directed at the private sector, but when the mob zeros in on the real source of its problems, an overbearing and power hungry state, that’s out of bounds.

The key difference is that one mob is useful to Obama as it allowed him to take unprecedented action against the banks, while the other stands in his way. Anyone remember this fun little episode?

Take a look at this Tale of Two Angry Mobs:

The last presidency we had this:

“when [former President George W.] Bush visited Portland, Oregon, for a fundraiser … in 2002, [the left’s] protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers.” One protester had a placard that read, “BUSH: Wanted, Dead or Alive” and another “held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against [the president’s] temple.”

This presidency, we have this:

at Senator Arlen Specter’s (D-PA) August 11 town hall meeting, an ObamaCare protester — on whom CNN has fixated because the protester actually mentioned “God” — stood up in front of Specter and said: “You are trampling on our Constitution and our rights.” The protester then made a point our Founders took as axiomatic, saying that even Arlen Specter would have to answer to God on judgment day concerning the government-led assault on the rights of the people. In response, Specter — with all the haughtiness we’ve come to expect from him — looked at the protester and said: “[If] you want to be led out of here you’re welcome to go.”
