What is it with people across the political spectrum not daring to express their opinions openly? If you hate the #Occupy movement, why not just come out and say, “I hate these snooty little bastards and find the idea of them getting pepper-sprayed to be highly enjoyable”? Why come out with this wimpy and ridiculous response that pepper spray is food?
We must read different blogs. I have read praise and expressions of solidarity on “librul” blogs and much damnation on conservative blogs. Perhaps the most common damnation on the latter has involved the thesis that they should bathe and then occupy jobs rather than whatever communities they may currently be infesting.

People are protesting precisely because there are unemployment and they don’t have jobs to go to. I have a job, so I’m not at the protests.

They come out with the ridiculous response because it is more annoying, confusing and harder to refute as a political “argument”.

I…what. I don’t even understand this woman. FOOD?

You know? Didn’t she understand that people will immediately start suggesting she should start feeding herself with a pepper spray?

I love Megyn Kelly, the personality who said this. She’s extremely entertaining. Sometimes the conservative arguments she defends are so crazy. And then sometimes she’ll surprise you, like when she returned to work after her second baby and just grilled people about the lack of a decent – or any!! – maternal leave policy in this country. Every now and then, you think she might be about to see the light. Then she does stuff like this again.
In her defense, the actual conversation was somebody (Bill O’Reilly, I think?) asking what pepper spray actually is. She seemed to be explaining that it’s not anything artificially chemical, just a food-grade product. Though she can’t be surprised that people are taking it the way they are

I’m sure she would’ve offered the same defense if a Tea Partier were pepper-sprayed.
She didn’t say ‘food-grade product’, she said ‘food product’. I think there’s a difference. So, yeah, she wasn’t explaining the chemical composition of pepper-spray to O’Reilly, she was trying to spin this event in a more positive light, while appearing to be ‘fair and balanced’. She is human scum.

If the UC Davis protester were waterboarded she would’ve said something like ‘It’s a cold shower, essentially!’

No doubt. From the left, we hear that the protesters are rapists. From the right we hear that pepper-spraying them was an attempt to provide them with a meal. It’s like everybody has gone completely insane all of a sudden.

Not only did Megan Kelly say that it was a food product but that it was also watered down so those Occupy wimps couldn`t take a bit of minor discomfort. I think that you`ll really like this little riposte on the event.
