Mark Meckler Live on Fox Business with Cavuto 5:30 and 8:30 pm Pacific Time

I’ll be on with Cavuto today discussing the left wing protests at Facbook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s house as he hosts a fundraiser for Chris Christie.   Is there a double standard in the media’s reporting?  Do they cut the left wing slack, while attacking the tea party and folks on the right for everything?  Of course there is.

However, it’s almost not news.  The mainstream media is so biased against the tea party, that we get attacked for virtually anything we do.  In the beginning they ignored us, then they mocked us (which they still do), and now they refer to us as both omnipotent over the Republican party in Congress and as virtually impotent in politics at all.  So double standards don’t surprise or even irritate me anymore.  I actually find it funny.  The mainstream media is an embarrassment to the word journalism.  Few even qualify as journalists anymore.

The real question here is propriety.  While it is indeed constitutional to protest at a private residence, so long as the protest is conducted on public property, is it the right thing to do?  See…this is the sort of thing that most tea partiers actually care about.  We care about others, and we care about whether something is the right thing to do.  We think about what it would be like for our families.  We think of what it would be like for our neighbors.  And so generally, we don’t do it.  That’s not to say that tea partiers don’t support the constitutional right to do it; we do.  But we generally exercise those rights in a polite way, acknowledging that we are members of a larger society, and thinking about the impact of our actions on innocent people.

Then again, unlike protestors from the left, we don’t destroy public property, we don’t defecate on police cars, we don’t set things on fire, we don’t break windows, we don’t assault law enforcement officers, etc.  In fact, if you go to a tea party protest, you’ll find polite, respectful, delightful, happy people who love their country, and within minutes after the protest you will find a protest site cleaner than before the tea partiers arrived.

Here’s the best way I know to judge; where would you want your kids to see the first amendment in action, a right wing tea party protest where you would know they are safe, or a protest organized by labor unions, and other thuggish, threatening groups who are prone to violence and property destruction?
