Fox Chicago Follows Tea Party Leader to Occupy Chicago, with Predictable Results

By Chuck Sudo in News on Oct 19, 2011 6:12PM

Fox Chicago political editor Mike Flannery and his camera crew followed Chicago Tea Patriots founder Catherina Wojtowicz to the Occupy Chicago protests, along with a union electrician, Larry Roberts. We're surprised Fox Chicago or NBC Chicago hadn't done this sooner.

Anyway, Flannery asked both Roberts and Wojtowicz their opinions of the protests. Roberts sympathized with the movement and understood what they were protesting. Wojtowicz said some nonsense about the protests being chaotic and that some of the protesters had "allies in Iran (pronounced I-Ran), Chinese and Russian governments."

Astute readers will remember Wojtowicz called for Chicago Tea Party leader Stevan Stevlic to resign after Gawker discovered Stevlic's June 2010 prostitution bust, which was dropped after he agreed to participate in a rehabilitation program. Wojtowicz also was named by Keith Olbermann to his "Worst Person in the World" list she and other tea partiers heckled a woman whose daughter had died as a result of not having health insurance.

We aren't dealing with the deepest of thinkers here.
