Occupy Cleveland is shocked by these allegations. We continue to be committed to creating social change through non-violence.

It has been confirmed that the Ohio attempted bridge bombers were occupiers. Occupy Cleveland swiftly tries to deny accountability.

Shocked, they say! Sure you are. Occupy is totally peaceful and all. That’s why Occupy camps are full of rape and other violence and that is why May Day is being celebrated with calls for murder. Violence is encouraged and when it is put into action, the blood is on your hands, Occupy.

Occupy Cleveland "shocked" to hear cohorts wanted to bomb a bridge. Just as SDS was shocked to hear of Bill Ayers bombings?

Of course you are, Fist Logo. MT @OccupyCleveland Occupy Cleveland is shocked by these allegations.

And what say you, media?

will @cnn @andersoncooper @chucktodd report that two of the would-be Cleveland bridge bombers are Occupy leaders, or suppress it?

— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 1, 2012

Doubtful. It’s not like they are “tea baggers” or anything. Just attempted murderers.

UPDATE (h/t @JesseinOH):

To be clear, one of the alleged Cleveland bomb-plotters was an #OccupyCleveland *spokesman* http://t.co/PMIDhM6y #OHRight

So much for Occupy Cleveland’s attempt at distancing itself. A spokesman. Boom.

Planned Parenthood granted $655,000 to help roll out Obamacare

http://twitter.com/#!/MicheleBachmann/status/368119689920004096

Despite what you might have heard from President Obama during last year’s debates, Planned Parenthood does more than just provide live-saving mammograms. Three branches of Planned Parenthood have been awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to help people get signed up for Obamacare.

http://twitter.com/#!/FrMSilloway/status/368122625606025216

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced the winners of $67 million in “Navigator” grants. So-called Navigators will “serve as an in-person resource for Americans who want additional assistance in shopping for and enrolling in plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace this fall.” We know that Planned Parenthood has extensive experience in receiving taxpayer money from the government, but will the affiliates do a better job selling Obamacare than they do providing those mammograms?

http://twitter.com/#!/TriciaNC1/status/368110732325318656

On Tuesday, the District of Columbia awarded $375,000 to Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., to help people sign up for Obamacare.

Libs trend #DoItForGabby; Conservatives respond with hard truths

http://twitter.com/#!/DoItForGabby/status/290629715843219456

Earlier this evening, lefties got the hashtag #DoItForGabby trending. “Gabby” is Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in the head in Tucson, Ariz., two years ago. Earlier this week, Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly founded a gun control organization that aims to “[b]an assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, limit guns per individual, require registration, and expand background checks.”

#DoItForGabby trending number 4 in the US uniteblue.com/doitforgabby/

— Breaking News Trends (@TrendingBlue) January 14, 2013

The success was short-lived, however, as Second Amendment supporters quickly commandeered the hashtag and taught the gun-grabbers some hard truths.

Truth #1: Giffords hasn’t always been a crusader for gun control. 

#DoItForGabby Things change when you aren’t campaigning for office anymore. Hypocrite #tcot #tlot #tgdn #opslam twitpic.com/bv1fyg

— ne1 g0tz (@exposeliberals) January 14, 2013

gabby giffords

Giffords posted that photo to her Flickr page in the fall of 2010.   As @exposeliberals notes, it was different then. She was running for re-election and wanted votes from Second Amendment supporters.

Truth #2: The man who shot Giffords, Jared Laughner, did not use an “assault weapon” to carry out his attack.

#DoItForGabby?! Loughner didn’t use an assault rifle! What are you wanting to “Do for Gabby?”

— Matt Dawson (@SaintRPh) January 14, 2013

Loughner used a Glock semi-automatic handgun, the same kind of gun that Giffords used to brag about owning. Loughner used just one gun, not many. He obtained his weapon legally, and was able to pass a federal background check. Aside from restrictions on high-capacity magazines, it is unclear how any of Giffords’ proposals would have slowed Loughner down.

Truth #3: Laughner has serious mental health problems.

Help mothers of mentally ill sons get them help!#DoItForGabby, so there are no more Jared Lee Loughner’s out there preying on innocents.

— HeelsandHandguns (@HeelsandHandgun) January 14, 2013

Because crazy leftists like Jared Loughner should be locked up, #DoItForGabby.

— Loren Heal(@lheal) January 14, 2013

It is time to stop pretending there is no link between mental illness and mass shootings. It is also time to re-consider deinstitutionalization. Let’s do it. For Gabby.

Warren Buffett dubs Hillary Clinton ‘#45,’ welcomes to Twitter

http://twitter.com/#!/mikeo90/status/344240093642518528

Something tells us that Warren Buffett wasn’t trying to imply with his tweet that Hillary Clinton is his 45th favorite woman in the world.

http://twitter.com/#!/JasonBWhitman/status/344238827839320064

That sure sounds like an endorsement. He must be confident that Hillary will have what it takes to finally raise his tax rates to where they belong. Won’t someone force Buffett to pay his fair share?

http://twitter.com/#!/carlquintanilla/status/344241279925895168 http://twitter.com/#!/SensReporter/status/344240404272672768 http://twitter.com/#!/Proud_of_Obama/status/344249258528108544 http://twitter.com/#!/LeAaronFoley/status/344248439544086528

Not everyone’s feeling the love for Hillary, but what difference, at this point, does it make what Warren Buffett says?

http://twitter.com/#!/mjwtruth/status/344243000320344066 http://twitter.com/#!/JerseyBucks/status/344248022529617923

We have a feeling we know which lever Buffett will be pulling in the voting booth in 2016, but what will it take to get him to click that “Follow” button, just once, for one of his favorite women?

According to About.com, the aforementioned images were created using an internet site called the take out Sign Generator. (The site is down.) Yep, they’re apparently fakes.

Although KFC and McDonald's signs encouraging Chick-fil-A are enjoyable, they’re also artificial.

Snort: ‘Dilbert’ cartoon mocks beard-tastic econo-doofus Paul Krugman

Coincidence? We think not.

In this morning’s “Dilbert,” cartoonist Scott Adams took a not-so-subtle swipe at our favorite Nobel Prize-winning economist and lover of broken windows, Paul Krugman:

‘Trifecta?’ Citizens dream of third Obama admin. resignation of the day

http://twitter.com/#!/SamValley/status/472443810216443904

Is there a “rule of threes” when it comes to political resignations? Many are hoping that’s the case now that the resignations of both Jay Carney and VA head Eric Shinseki have been announced.

Who is the third resignation many are hoping for?

http://twitter.com/#!/GOPMommy/status/472460259642982400

Dare to dream!
