-- believe that you believe that this is the United States of America.

Protest turning ugly a few days ago during the NATO summit in Chicago.

Many in the crowd wearing shirts are holding signs for the occupy movements.

In all 100 protesters were arrested for police officers were injured including one who was stabbed.

And what's more last week three occupy protesters were arrested for conspiracy to commit terrorism.

Fox News is Wendell Goler asked the White House yesterday about the president's past supportive comments for this group.

The president has voice work.

-- -- -- -- and their actions.

In Chicago.

-- -- Well I think you're.

Making drawing comparisons between.

Different groups what the president has said the passes that.

He has understood.

And the frustrations of Americans have about.

The failure in on in particular.

-- Wall Street in some cases to.

Quality because of would be obviously Wall Street's role in the financial crisis that helped precipitate the worst recession since the Great Depression.

But they make you feel uncomfortable.

It made me feel uncomfortable thing well joining me now Monica Crowley who's a radio talk show host and Julie -- geek who's a former political advisor to New Jersey senator.

Frank Lautenberg and both are Fox News contributors did -- make you comfortable already I don't like to see him struggling I can -- out there brain freeze right I thought that it many times.

But did the point is why did he struggle because evening he's a human being and and it happens but why on that issue in what is happening here what.

Does the president need to take a step away from the Wall Street -- from the Occupy Wall Street protesters and how close was he ever linked with them to begin with.

Well you probably should -- but he won't make it and here's why Occupy Wall Street was orchestrated and then deployed last fall for two main reasons one.

To supply Barack Obama with his central campaign theme which is income inequality and they've been able to establish that.

And the president has really been able to it to -- quite good use of that theme.

But the second reason is to -- enough chaos and discord in our society as -- on Chicago you're seeing in cities all across the country over the last couple of months.

To so that kind of a people so that the redistribution agenda can get more easily get -- So in other words they can't push -- -- without this kind of of people like chaos that's what Occupy Wall Street it's all about should the president condemn it of course he -- But he won't because he needs that.

You know O'Reilly was -- fox yesterday saying this movement has changed from what it once was you know when we saw Sally -- out there downtown New York.

This doesn't seem like the same group standing for the same principles I mean people -- cops.

And you know well go to the -- a police -- threatening police with machete other like.

This is this does seem to have -- at least to some extent into something very different you know look there's obviously no excuse for June and -- -- sentences describe it and no more so there's an excuse for people like Manila reached just to show up at Tea Party rallies try to hijack them try to make an out to be -- -- -- pillar.

-- -- -- Seeing the UCU cut out what I eruption of this new -- here's.

Here's what I see I see a movement that I think is a very amorphous movement -- -- movement that has been hijacked some extent sometimes that people resort to violence which is of course never excusable.

People resort to death for killing a cop cars which is -- on an excusable.

And having police have a police obviously never it's feasible and so you've got that you know any -- groups and you have a large group witness.

Could be implicated by 1020 -- 100000.

Bad actors -- -- and there some some how reflection of the group that large.

I don't see that I see -- Occupy Movement is having very specific message.

I don't think violence was -- part of that message and it's it's been hijacked by people who believe in violence that's a shame and that's something I've thought about it.

I think we're making -- so if we focus solely on the troops on the ground and like you say some of these shock troops in Chicago and elsewhere engaging in these kind of violent acts.

I think we need to pay closer attention to the generals that are sending the troops out into the street and by that I mean from the beginning from July of last year.

When they started envisioning what Occupy Wall Street would be.

We had unions SEI UA FL CIO we have the international socialist movement.

We the American Communist Party does not releasing it just go look at the early photos up all of the boundaries of the American public out there that's one that we did we have triggered the violent that -- rain and ridiculous as to those specific but you have to understand why they're acting like -- -- they know that they're not gonna get conservatives like me to go out there they were -- kids an aging hippies and socialists and everybody else to go in the street.

Remember that that this.

Later on in the movement actually couple weeks into it that Van Jones you had Bill Ayers this is all the same revolution that we've seen throughout the twentieth century about.

Yeah.

Economically and that's a different point -- I sit that's all well and good you can and you know it's gonna say because big Lieber went into the occupied with a President Obama should -- -- -- -- -- -- -- violence that we're -- now.

Did the president ever came out -- I'm with occupied but when asked about he said sort of I understand the frustration and the question is whether now he needs to at least say.

Let's take a breath let's split him out of Iowa well he -- and he -- -- he will but the problem are you.

That he will he was an in the White House is given chance yesterday to -- -- it was and I think to -- him bring entries they sent.

I'm sure yet to reduce the game over forget to -- do it again on notice that's different but I will say this look you can't blame.

The Occupy Movement anymore the complain the Tea Party movement were hurling racist insults my -- They haven't I don't get a little magic cat bring it says no of course I don't you dearly but some moral -- does not a lot of the moral -- -- sexual assaults I mean it's so I wouldn't say -- -- -- -- shedding threatening jedi I get a candidate I thought that I'm saying is gonna.

Usable but in the same way that Dick Armey was a founder for example of the Tea Party movement.

Is Dick -- gonna go out there and condemn or to the go out there in -- racist comments -- there were so gracious towards John Lewis nobody has any proof of yeah and I know again I understand it you're not that that -- -- -- -- it get people who I've witnessed firsthand because I went to these Tea Party rallies.

I witnessed firsthand Lyndon LaRouche people.

Going out that -- bad behavior but when I mean I don't let -- he's about justifying it -- and actually sayings in the same way that actors like and cars and parts he pardoned by if you Lyndon -- lakers' going out there and saying the broccoli has -- -- Hitler.

The -- yeah.

I did his thing up though.

I think I am I thought I know I got I got -- thank you ladies and all these.
