   Further evidence that the soldiers of Krugman's Army do not view   
   progressive politicians as their allies comes from Houston, where video   
   has emerged showing Gareth Morgans, a staffer to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee,   
   getting shouted down. CNSNews.com has both the video and these quotes:   
      
   	"She . . . wants you to know that her team and the Progressive   
   	Congressional Caucus are here to stand with the people, to   
   	fight with the people and to get these jobs back," a protester   
   	announced before he introduced Morgans.   
      
   	Morgans said he was there because Shelia [sic] Jackson Lee   
   	couldn't attend, but that attendees are "always in all of   
   	our thoughts", he was then shouted down by others at the   
   	gathering saying that "this is not a political advertisement".   
      
   Then Morgans gets shouted down, and a fat, long-haired, bearded guy grabs   
   the microphone to announce: "This is not a movement! This is not a   
   protest! This is not a left-right issue! This is an occupation!" And   
   PajamasMedia.com has another video, from Occupy L.A.:   
      
   	One of the speakers said the solution is nonviolent movement.   
   	No, my friend. I'll give you two examples: French Revolution,   
   	and Indian so-called Revolution.   
      
   	Gandhi, Gandhi today is, with respect to all of you, Gandhi   
   	today is a tumor that the ruling class is using constantly to   
   	mislead us. French Revolution made fundamental transformation.   
   	But it was bloody.   
      
   	India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in   
   	maximum poverty.   
      
   	So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won't go without violent means.   
   	Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class.   
   	Long live revolution!   
      
   	Long live socialism!   
      
   Remember when the same people now cheering on this self-described   
   revolutionary army of occupation were having fainting spells over   
   crosshairs on maps and other supposedly violent, militaristic rhetoric   
   from Tea Party conservatives?
