Stand By That Mann

John Mann may be a professional rent-a-quote but occasionally he hits the nail on the head. The left’s anti-semitism problem is well documented and acknowledged by everyone except the left, so it’s good to see someone finally standing up to their own side’s dark undertones:

Early day motion 2320
OCCUPY PROTESTS
Primary sponsor: Mann, John

That this House notes the `Occupy Wall Street’ and `Occupy London Stock Exchange’ protest movements; believes the right to protest is an essential tenet of democracy; further notes concerns have been raised in America about the anti-Semitic nature of some of those protests; further believes signs referring to `Hitler’s Bankers’ and `Google Jewish Billionaires’ are offensive and have no place at such protests; further believes the verbal or physical abuse of Jews by demonstrators is unacceptable; and calls on leaders of the Occupy demonstrations worldwide to condemn anti-Semitism and act to stamp it out whenever it occurs.

And all this comes on the day that the protesters demand show trials of bankers. Yes, they actually seem to be going down that road…

UPDATE : It seems OccupyWallSt LA also has an anti-semitism problem:
