The debate over the Occupy Wall Street protests took on a harsh tenor
Friday, with Republican leader Rep. Eric Cantor denouncing the
demonstrators as “mobs” and slamming President Obama for allegedly
encouraging them.

“This administration's failed policies have resulted in an assault on
many of our nation's bedrock principles,” he said. “If you read the
newspapers today, I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing
mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country. And
believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting
of Americans against Americans.” CBS News has video of his statement,
delivered at a conservative “Values Voter Summit” in Washington.

Eric is increasingly concerned that the eventual outcome of these
demonstrations is that a couple of dollars might be diverted from his
rich contributors to starving Americans.
