Occupy occtrocities: Scabies edition

Civic Center Park, Denver
Occupy Wall Street, the original protest, suffered from an outbreak of "Zuccotti Lung." And now Denver has scabies. I was there in November when Occupy Denver was evicted from Broadway at Civic Center Park, but the Mile High occupiers have returned to that location for subsequent rallies.

As you will read in my first post, a homeless man with the skin disease was found at the old campsite. Was he an occupier? Occupy Denver says "No." But about half of the occupy campers I saw in Civic Center Park last fall were clearly indigent. As I've noted several times over the last few weeks, the Occupy plan of action is to immediately claim that anyone who puts their movement in a bad light--such as committing a violent crime or having a disease--is not really an occupier.

South of Denver in Colorado Springs an occupier called American soldiers "trash."

An Oklahoma occupier finds says he is on the FBI's no-fly list.

Closer to me, an Occupy-supporting member of Congress, Danny K. Davis of Chicago, accepted an award from a group with communist ties. Fortunately for this country, Davis is an ineffective legislator whose only "talent" is to embarrass himself and the constituents of his safe Democratic district. As you will see in the related post section, Davis congratulated China on the 60th anniversary of the communist revolution. Its leader, Mao Zedong, killed more people than Hitler or Stalin. A few years earlier, Davis took part in a bizarre Sun Myung Moon coronation ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Building.
