That could be any movement, right?&#8221; Movements, when they form, can become more powerful and then they can become divided, right?

They would go out and they would attack Catholic churches and public events because they were angry that there wasn\u2019t enough attention given to HIV and AIDS and the battle in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>That organization, I don\u2019t think is active any longer. Right? It doesn\u2019t have that long, long-term staying power. I\u2019ll give you another example, and it\u2019s one that I think Rush is going to explain beautifully here: Black Lives Matter has now become the next iteration of Occupy Wall Street. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/08\/17\/the_five_on_black_lives_matter_and_me\/\">Here\u2019s Rush.<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_60be637ce57e6a00012b13bb\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/60be637ce57e6a00012b13bb.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What do you think Black Lives Matter is? Black Lives Matter, by the way, is simply the rebirth of Occupy Wall Street under racial auspices. It is a manufactured left-wing agitator group made to look like an organic, neighborhood, community-organized group. It is bought and paid for. It has a mission, which is to agitate and attack. I mean, Black Lives Matter. They mount&#8230; Well, you know what they do. But look at the people getting behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Look at all the leftist causes getting behind them. I mean, this is&#8230; Black Lives Matter is in charge of helping to spread the lie of &#8220;hands up, don\u2019t shoot,&#8221; for example. I mean, I\u2019m hard-pressed to come up with just how egregious this is. I\u2019m trying to think of an analogy of a&#8230; (sigh) I can\u2019t. It just can\u2019t. But it is unseemly, folks. This is the Democrat Party and leftists funding the continued terrorizing of American cities. I don\u2019t know how else to put it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/08\/17\/the_five_on_black_lives_matter_and_me\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-385986\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ZZ-APP-Rush-CLASSIC-UNAFRAID.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ZZ-APP-Rush-CLASSIC-UNAFRAID.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ZZ-APP-Rush-CLASSIC-UNAFRAID-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ZZ-APP-Rush-CLASSIC-UNAFRAID-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Anyway, the answer to this is political. The answer to this is ideological. You know what this is almost like? You know how the Regime will not identify terrorists. They won\u2019t even use the word terrorism, and the Regime clearly will not ever use the words &#8220;militant Islamic terrorism&#8221; or anything related to it. By the same token, I think a bunch of people on our side of the aisle are in the process of being intimidated to the point that they will not correctly identify these leftist protest groups as being something other than protest groups.<\/p>\n<p>These are not protests. When five cops are shot, 11 cops are targeted, when action like that, Milwaukee or take your favorite example, these are not protests. These are riots. These are planned, strategic, timed riots. And they\u2019re usually tied to not a specific event, but to a cause. But if we\u2019re not gonna be honest about what this is, if we\u2019re not gonna be honest &#8212; we were not honest about Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>The Tea Party, I can\u2019t tell you how it shook people up. The Tea Party is amazing. The Tea Party was truly one of the only organic developments in politics in recent history. The Tea Party had no leader. It didn\u2019t have a single voice that was motivating it, mobilizing it, inspiring it. All of that was done by Barack Obama. And primarily two things: Obamacare and amnesty. And maybe throw in spending.<\/p>\n<p>Those three things caused people who had never before been politically active, other than voting, to come out of their homes and start joining protest marches, attending town halls, harassing and interrogating &#8212; I don\u2019t mean harassing, but participating in town halls, demanding answers from elected officials. They were predominantly Republican and conservative. It had never happened before and it scared everybody. It scared Washington, it scared Washington establishment types, of both parties. It scared them to death, precisely because there wasn\u2019t a leader they could demonize to destroy it. It was the essence, it was the epitome of grassroots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/08\/17\/the_five_on_black_lives_matter_and_me\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-400801\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Black-Lives-Matter-Dems-A2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Black-Lives-Matter-Dems-A2.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Black-Lives-Matter-Dems-A2-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Black-Lives-Matter-Dems-A2-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/a>So they created Occupy Wall Street. They literally manufactured Occupy Wall Street with donor money and tried to make it look organic. They tried to make Occupy Wall Street appear to be something that rose up in opposition to the Tea Party. No such thing happened. Not organically. They created it. They manufactured it. They funded it. They chose the leaders. They planned the strategy. They orchestrated much of what Occupy Wall Street did.<\/p>\n<p>It was not a protest movement. It was an agitation squad of the left, progressive movement, the Democrat Party, and its purpose was to take out the Tea Party. Its purpose was to give the media a show. Its purpose was to steer the media to the direction of Occupy Wall Street so they could focus on it as larger than the Tea Party and organic. It was a mechanism created whereby the Tea Party could be denigrated, marginalized, or what have you. But the Tea Party was genuine. Occupy Wall Street wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>And so Black Lives Matter is simply the child, if you will, of Occupy Wall Street. It serves a purpose. It\u2019s made to look like it\u2019s organic. The Democrats, working with the media, have the ability to characterize anything any way they want it. It is political. Black Lives Matter is political, and it is ideological, and it is part of liberalism. It is exactly the kind of thing you get with liberalism, and it isn\u2019t new. The SDS, Students for Democrat Society, the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, you name it. No matter how those groups started, they were all embraced by the Democrat Party &#8212; or liberalism or what have you.<\/p>\n<p>BRETT: And it\u2019s super interesting to look at that dynamic with those movements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BRETT: Black Lives Matter has now become the next iteration of Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":377772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
