CPAC braces for possible Occupy.

Link: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/cpac-braces-possible-occupy-infiltration-204131941.html

WASHINGTON--If liberal demonstrators try to crash this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the largest annual gathering of conservatives, attendees here say they'll be ready.

For weeks before the conference, conservative activists donned old jeans and hooded sweatshirts and went "undercover" at Occupy DC's downtown encampment. They sat in on meetings where Occupiers discussed plans to disrupt CPAC. Each day, the infiltrators posted what they heard to a private Google group of CPAC attendees and bloggers. Those who attended the meetings said they heard plans to cause "mayhem" at the upcoming conference and even threats of physical violence. Lachlan Markay of the conservative Heritage Foundation documented the reports and now conference attendees and organizers say they have made preparations to absorb any demonstrations.

In the hotel lobby Thursday, the room buzzed with conversations about how attendees would react if Occupiers arrived. Often a prime target of liberal protestors, online publisher Andrew Breitbart said he was excited about a possible clash with Occupiers during the conference.

"Screw them," Brietbart told Yahoo News in an interview in the hotel lobby. "I hate these people. They are the most evil, vicious people in the world."



Oh NO! CPAC may be faced with harsh realities such as the TRUTH about our current state of affairs.

and my strong suspicion is that any talk of "violence" at the Occupy meetings
discussing CPAC was probably propagated by these very same "infiltrators",
who will no doubt be at the CPAC event dressed up in ALL BLACK, still infiltrating
Occupy, while hurling rocks & bottles at the police.

We just had this very thing happen in Portland a few nights ago ... out of
no where, suddenly 4-5 peeps dressed in suspiciously NEW all black chothing,
and bandana over their faces, "infiltrated" an Occupy protest of police violence,
and began smashing out car windows and windows in a locally owned small
neighborhood restaurant, then immediately disappeared, leaving the peacefully
demonstrating Occupiers to take the blame and get arrested. All the while,
there was a police camera filming the whole thing, and Police standing around
watching it, yet there was NO attempt on the police's part to apprehend the real
perpetrators; but rather they just started randomly doing "snatch and grabs"
from the Occupy front-liners, as though they had done something wrong.

We are in a HUGE process to sort this incident out, and to decide what steps
can be taken to be prepared for this kind of scenario. Wish us luck, because
we're going to need it.

and gleefully attack any protesters they see and call it "self-defense".

It will be their big chance to "teach the dirty hippies a lesson" and it will be intensely cheered all over the US by "law and order" types.

That's why they are just ITCHING for Occupy protesters to show up. It's a planned ambush, IMHO.

There are no infiltrators or provacauers in the Occupy camps. Where the heck is the sarcasm thingy?
