Occupy (and Ron Paul) Protesters Surround Santorum and Family After Final New Hampshire Pitch
ABC News ^ | Monday, January 9, 2011 | Shushanna Walshe

Rick Santorum had his final rally tonight before Granite Staters start voting Tuesday morning in the first-in-the-nation primary.

Supporters and press mobbed the candidate as he made his way around the packed restaurant and bar here. As he exited his final primary eve event, he was surrounded by a mix of protesters from the Occupy movement and Ron Paul supporters.

As he walked out of Jillian’s in downtown Manchester, his staff surrounded him and the protesters tried to form a circle around the former Pennsylvania senator. They chanted, “Bigot, bigot!” and “Shame, shame!” as he made his way to his car.

Police and security were on hand and during the crush one member of the candidate’s entourage got shoved to the ground, as did one of the protesters.

Santorum smiled as he walked the short distance from the restaurant, but a serious scuffle ensued, and his wife Karen had a frightened look on her face. Two of his children Elizabeth and Daniel followed closely behind. His other children, including his 3-year-old daughter Bella, who has a rare genetic condition, are already in South Carolina.

Santorum’s kids get attacked by angry mobs.

Obama’s kids get entertained by Johnny Depp in costume at the White House.

Is this a great Country of what?

If the occupy movement is about Wall Street why hit Santorum? Might they be more anti Christian and anti values?

Nothing but typical left wing human debris. Paul should be real proud of the support he has built and the company he keeps.

I don’t recall this happening in the 2008 democrat primary. Civility indeed. Liberals have no moral compass.

Hopefully they tasered them all.

Paul’s little Storm Troopers in action, alongside Civil Society Fleabags, converging all the sudden on Santorum, who just dared to point out Paul’s use of CREW as a source. Color me unsurprised.

These are radicals for Obama, or know he is going to lose and want to pick our candidate for theirs. Ron Paul is running third party inside our party. Operation Chaos is a party in itself. Is this fascism ALL Soros?
