Cantor Shifts Tone On Occupy Wall Street Protests

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Tuesday attempted to walk back comments he made last week when he referred to those participating in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations as "the growing mobs."

In his weekly session with reporters on Capitol Hill, Cantor said he understands why people are out on the streets protesting.

"People are upset and they're justifiably frustrated. They're out of work. The economy is not moving," Cantor said. "Their sense of security for the future is not clear at all. People are afraid and I get it."

#1 can we stop with the daily sound bite drama fest in the media

#2 "I don't believe that our role is to inflame a division between different parts and sectors of American society,"

-The GOP has been playing this whole false "welfare queens in cadillacs" tirade for decades but they don't consider that class warfare?
