Pat Buchanan Predicts Occupy Wall Street Protests Will Get More Violent As Weather Gets Colder
On today’s installment of The McLaughlin Group, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan had some strong words for the Occupy Wall Street movement, and in arguing President Obama would not be wise to embrace the protestors, suggested that as it continues to snow and the weather gets colder, they will pursue more violent means to accomplish their goals.
John McLaughlin asked if the OWS movement would serve as a powerful voting bloc in the upcoming presidential election, or if the protest is simply just “transitory.” Buchanan immediately jumped in, comparing the protestors, as so many others before him have, to the hippie protestors of the 1960s.
It’s going end very, very badly with these folks in the winter, and they’re not going to be getting publicity, they’re going to be acting up, acting badly, like the worst of the demonstrators in the 60s… They’re going to start fighting with the cops.”
The other panelists differed from Buchanan, arguing the protestors have “staying power” and the most that will happen during the winter is that their numbers may recede ever so slightly.
