IDENTIFICATION: The Hill: House Dems Criticize Eviction of Occupy Wall Street Protesters.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, warned that in preventing protesters from camping out in Zuccotti Park, the city has “effectively removed [the protesters’] ability to be there 24/7.” . . . While a few Democrats acknowledged that Bloomberg had a responsibility to ensure the safety and health of those in the park, others offered support for the demonstrators and concern that the mayor was going too far.

They’d feel differently if the Tea Party were camped out on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, was getting kicked out the best possible endgame for the Occupiers? I’d say yes. At least, if I were the Republicans I’d want them camped out for another 50 weeks or so . . . .
