Uh, excuse me? White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in the briefing today. "I sense a little hypocrisy unbound here—what we're seeing on the streets of New York is a an expression of democracy," Cantor said. "I think I remember how Mr. Cantor described protests of the tea party—I can't understand how one man's mob is another man's democracy."

Earlier today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor put his elitism on full display , calling the Occupy Wall Street movement a "mob" that is "pitting ... Americans against Americans." The White House responds

Yeah, something like praising the tea party as a "tremendous influence" and the nation's "surge protector" against big government. And turning a blind eye to his caucus egging them on when they were abusing Democratic members of Congress.

No, no mob behavior there.
