Ouch! Occupy Protester Walks Into Pole While Heckling Chris Christie/Mitt Romney

video
» 78 comments

In being part of a movement that takes a stand against corporatism, it’s very important to be forward-thinking. Also, forward-looking. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been vigorously campaigning for Mitt Romney in Iowa, and introduced the presidential candidate in a recent stump speech.

As Christie welcomed Romney to the stage, an Occupy protestor started shouting them down with cries of “You are one percent! You are one percent!” Unfortunately, as she was walking one way and looking the other, she accidentally hit a nearby pole. She walks away, seemingly unharmed, and the disruption did not appear to reach the stage, as Romney immediately launches into some words of praise for Christie.

    It’s funny……

    Why aren’t these people protesting Obama?… you know the guy who got record donations from the likes of Goldman Sachs.  The guy who put all these greedy corporate bastards in positions of power.  The guy who gave them hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout money.

    But instead they want to protest Mitt Romney?  WTF?

    Yeah I love the Occupy movement, but Jesus Christ do I hate nearly every individual involved.

    ‘These people’ was one girl who walked into a pole.

  • Anonymous

    Do you think the pole knocked any sense into her?  It shut her up pretty fast.  Why do they think it’s OK to be nasty and rude like this?

    The same reason you don’t see anti-war protests anymore.

    The camera didn’t catch it, but at the top of the pole was Rick Santorum’s ass.

    Gloves,I see your ringing in the New Year on a positive note. Smiling
    May 2012 see a positive ending as well,no?
    Enjoy your New Year,Gloves,I most certainly will.

    Christie’s Tony Soprano schtick is getting old.  He’s just pimping for a VP slot, a job he’s under qualified for.

    That explains what that was all over the surface of the pole.

    Now they will want the government to remove all dangerous poles so we will all be safe.  At least this OWS wasn’t crapping on a police car.  Typical leftist.

    Totally appropriate. After all, what can you expect from someone who has her head up her ass?

  • Anonymous

    Damn…I was considering telling the Cops to set land mines in the parks to keep the OWS slugs out….but now i see that all they have to do is install poles.
    These super-stupid, filthy outcasts and misfits  will knock themselves out walking into them and the Cops can then just carry their brain-dead bodies off to the landfill.
    COOL!!!

    To bad it wasn’t a moving city bus instead of a pole….That would have been funnier.

    I guess so….after all….the ass-backwards  MSM thought shitting on cop cars was funny.

    I see the thuggish RepubliCORPCONSs have descended now to assaulting protestors, good people availing themselves of the time-honored, richly American tactic of vocal dissent, by laying obstacles in ambush to interrupt and stifle the free speech of those who would stand against their nefarious goals.  Chris Christie and Mitt Romney should be ashamed of themselves!  All they want to do is distract the masses of people with false utterances and lies – and with too many uneducated people its working!  The dangerous rhetoric they spew in support of the 1%, their Hitlerian stance of capitalism-uber-alles, has led to this kind of violence!  Don’t let them similarly distract the American people.  Their kind of greed for the wealth of another class cannot be allowed to stand in today’s America!  If people don’t wake up and stop these brown-shirted RepubliCOPRCONS from getting away with denying the 99% their right, this is what’s in store for all Americans in the future who side with the truth.

    Yep. He could use a crash course on community organizing before he’d be anywhere near as qualified as Barry. I wonder if Christie’s wife is proud of America? If she bad mouthed America it would probably get half of the OWS vote. All 5,000 of them.

    Walking into a pole is the metaphor for ALL Leftists.

  • Gloves S. Donahue !

    The same to you, Barbara.   2012 will be better.

    Always good to get to a new year.

    The days are getting longer and spring is coming.

  • barbara clemen

    I have a friend whose daughter is in college here in Iowa.I refuse to let her leave, as she has brought her weather from Hawaii with her.!

    Hopefully, Van Jones and Soros won’t usher in their version of an OWS Spring,when it actually does arrive.

    Of coarse they appear to be “knocking themselves out to accomplish this feat.!”

    Smiles…waving… …..LMAO

     This is getting more serious day by day.   The wrong candidate is no better than electing Barry again.

  • barbara clemen

    No, Ryan,it’s not lonely. A neighbor stopped by,gifted me with a ham. I attended a gun show-sorry Benny-acquired several new “toys”,and am relaxing with some special wine I’ve been anticipating tasting for 8 years.
    It is well worth the wait.
    How are you to celebrate?

    i don’t realy celebrate all that much.

    Would you be laughing if it was a tea partier?

    Thanks for your lunch….I ate it!

  • http://www.facebook.com/andrew.sappington Andrew Sappington

    No, I am not a child.  I only hate the tea party for their positions on the issues and their racist tendencies.  I could care less if one of them ran into a pole.  And making fun of my name was something I experience in grade school and maybe high school.  Since I deal with grownups now, they usually don’t make fun of my name anymore.  But the are exceptions,  especially when I deal with really stupid people with nothing to say, like yourself.

    probably another “genius” from Columbia U. that can’t get a job…. walking into a pole is equivalent to not coming in out of the rain…DUH!!

    what i realy like about this guy he just talks about future no left or right aganda just talks about what tech we can see in are future. the guy does not even bash God like most sciencist do. their was this one book i got by this one guy and page one is one big bash of Christanity. i tell you what that was the only time i feel like burning a book. Michio Kaku was on fox this morning talking about his new book.

  • barbara clemen

    This is what invites dialog,and results from an open ended discussion? ideology at the forefront absent the liberal mantra.
    I look forward to reading it.

  • Ryan Frederick

    my favorite is Physics of the inpossible.

    Like :The Museum of Science and Industry-Chicago?

    don’t think i know that one.

    You do realize that anyone and EVERYONE who says the Tea Party has racist tendencies can NEVER EVER be taken seriously, don’t you?  Also, what’s wrong with the Tea Party’s positions?  Unlike the positions of the OWS idiots, the Tea Party’s positions have actually proven to work in the past.  So, you’re advocating that we move to the proven ideological failures of the OWS rather than the proven ideological successes of the Tea Party?  Do you realize how stupid that makes you look?

  • barbara clemen

    In Des Moines they have this imaginarium all things possible in science,it was pretty cool.

  • Ryan Frederick

    sounds like a place i would like to go.

  • Jon Weiss

    Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three left turns do make the same direction of one right turn.  I guess it just takes the left a little longer to get moving in the right direction.
