Watch Live: Congressional Hearing on IRS Scandal

Live BlazeCast at 2pm ET: All the fireworks from the IRS Hearing!

Lying liberal protester responds to Blaze’s ‘right-wing attack’

Sep. 28, 2011 5:08pm Meredith Jessup

Despite numerous requests for comment from the now-infamous “Days of Rage” protester Robert Stephens (“with a PH!”), I still haven’t heard back. I did, however, manage to track down a blog post he apparently authored, responding to my, er… “right-wing smear campaign.”

Let’s review: Robert joined other liberal protesters in New York last weekend to participate in demonstrations on Wall Street, though his personal gripe seemed to be specifically aimed at Chase Bank. According to Robert, Chase was scheming to “take” his parents’ home from them after they had “played by the rules.” After a bit of research, however, The Blaze learned that the Stephens’ home was not in foreclosure and that his parents were merely contemplating a short sale. In other words, no big bad bank was “taking” their home.

Despite these clear-cut facts, Stephens took to his blog to defend his protest and its false pretense:

In early 2010 my father was diagnosed with cancer. His health had been deteriorating for some time, and in the beginning of that year he became disabled. At the same time my mother, who was president of an adoption agency, lost her job. My parents struggled to pay for my father’s health and keep up payments on the mortgage for a year until it became clear in early 2011 that they would be unable to bear the weight of all the cost and they would lose their house. I had just started my first year of law school in the midst of all of this and I hated leaving my father at a time when I knew he needed help. My father was a Baptist minister for over 30 years, who had preached with an intellectual sharpness and with a compassion that touched many people. It was hard to watch him struggle to get out of the bed, and barely have the energy to speak, let alone preach a sermon.

February was the lowest point for me. At that time, my parents began trying to use a short sale in order to avoid the forcible repossession of their house; although if the house did not sell then the bank would foreclose. When I returned to visit my parents, we were getting multiple calls from the mortgage holders and they began placing doorknockers on the door giving notice of missed payments. I had to stand by as my parents’ lives crumbled around them, with no security in where they would live six months down the road.

[Side note: When I phoned Mrs. Stephens' non-profit organization today, they told me that she still worked there. ::shrug::]

Instead of taking a couple of semesters off from his $70,000/year law studies to help, Stephens demands that society as a whole ensure that his parents stay afloat amid economic and medical emergencies. More specifically, he demands that Chase Bank — the bank that invested its own money to help his family purchase a home in the first place — ignore the fact that his parents had past-due bills. This isn’t merely an anti-capitalism protest — it is anti-reality.

But like any good liberal, Robert soldiered on in his defense, resorting to one of the most trusted weapons in his rhetorical arsenal: the race card.

My dad grew up in segregation era North Carolina, my mother in segregation era Pittsburgh. They struggled against a rigid system of racial oppression to get their educations, so they made sure that I would have the best possible opportunity to go even further than they did. They continued to face racial discrimination as the achieved their livelihoods, but the [sic] persevered so that I would have a chance to learn and to be safe.

[...]

I kept repeating that I was ready to be arrested because I know how criminal justice tends to treat Black men (see Rodney King, a Black man beaten by police while on his knees etc). Additionally, as I was on my knees people were being beaten all around me, including some of the camerapeople. In my eyes, they and the other victims of police brutality on that day are heroes.

I won’t discount the notion that racial discrimination exists in the world, but wonder how on earth it possibly hindered them. Without such “discrimination,” would Robert’s dad have two PhDs instead of just one? Would his mother have pulled in $200,000/year instead of the $100,000 she reportedly earned last year? If this is what “discrimination” looks like, where do I sign up?

He continues, oddly enough, by acknowledging that it’s his parents’ financial troubles — not the bank — which are leading them to seek a “short sale.”

(Note: Robert seems to use the term “short sale” to refer to either his parents’ urgency to free up capital by selling their home or that in their haste to sell, they will be taking a loss on the property. He has not clarified this and I don’t think he necessarily needs to, but thought I should point out that “short sale” seems like an odd label in this situation.)

So when the news came that my parents’ sickness and unemployment would induce the need to short sale the house to try to avoid foreclosure, I was heartbroken. This couldn’t be how it would end for my parents, and it certainly could not end in silence. So, I began writing on the internet and joining together with other like-minded people. However, writing online was not enough. If my parents were losing their home, and they had skills and education, imagine how bad it was for other people with even less. I knew that I had to do something, so I planned to go to the #OccupyWallStreet rally and physically manifest our internet criticism.

I slept outside in the park on Friday night, and on Saturday I participated in the march. Although I knew there was a chance that by just showing up I would be arrested, I didn’t plan on doing an intentional act of civil disobedience. However, when I saw the Chase bank, tears filled my eyes and I could only think about how I had just seen their logo on my parents’ door. The march had just begun and was being contained on the sidewalk; I knew that by walking into the street I would be arrested.

Not only did he know he’d be arrested by ignoring the police officers’ orders to vacate the street, but he pleaded with them to take him to jail.

I also want to take a moment here to point out that being critical of Stephens’ misguided protest doesn’t mean I’m cold-hearted or indifferent to his family’s plight — a charge the liberal left looooves to make. But this is merely a tactic used by people who know that in an intellectual and/or logical debate, they have no leg to stand on and resort instead to relying on feelings and emotions to win support for their cause.

I approached this story, however, from a purely logical side, pointing out that Chase Bank had no actual role in forcing any member of the Stephens family from their home. Nevertheless, Stephens decided to attack the messenger:

The blogs have been reporting a story that I made up this entire situation and that my parents are choosing to move.

Once again, let’s go back. We’ve established that the banks are indeed not “taking” his parents’ home. Additionally, his parents do have a choice: pay your bills or leave. They are choosing the latter just as Robert is choosing to continue his school rather than take a job to help his parents pay their bills.

This lie was achieved by a reporter from The Blaze calling my mother, pretending to be my friend, and then ambushing her with questions.

In fact I did call and speak with Stephens’ mom, Marquita, and our conversation was quite cordial. I’m a professional. I never pretended to be Robert’s friend. I simply explained to his mom that I had tried to reach her son via email and phone for comment — information I got via Facebook. I also told Robert’s mother that I worked at GW Law — I’m somewhat surprised he’s not also accusing me of impersonating a professor! All of this information was only disclosed after I clearly identified myself as a reporter with TheBlaze.com.

It is true that my parents are doing a short sale, but that is because they are under tremendous pressure from the bank in addition to my dad’s cancer. This blog said that because the bank was inducing my parents to sell their home in a short sale, and give Chase all of the money, it wasn’t the same thing as foreclosure, so it wasn’t that bad. These blogs are trying to say that I don’t belong out there with other #OccupyWallStreet protesters.

Short sales are clearly not the same things as foreclosures and Stephens should probably learn the difference should he ever have to argue a case in real estate law in the future.

In another false charge, I never said that he didn’t belong “out there” with the other protesters — I can think of no other place more appropriate right now for an ignorant liberal to wallow around in their own self pity than at the so-called “Days of Rage.”

He goes on to say that he and his fellow protesters comprise 99% of freedom-loving Americans — blah, blah, blah. The end.

Perhaps most annoying about his whole charade is how his empty protest demonstrate the incredible hypocrisy he shares with so many others on the left. Capitalism is a great system when it means liberals like Stephens can earn money, drive around in a little red sports car and buy really nice houses in even nicer neighborhoods — nothing wrong with that, that’s the American Dream. If you earn the money to afford it, go for it.

But when the going gets tough and they’re no longer able to reap the material benefits of our capitalist system, they’re ready to throw the entire thing out the window just to make sure that everyone else can be as miserable.

So while Robert thinks I may be doing “the bidding of the financial industry” by pointing out the fallacies in his shallow protest, I’d like to stand with my fellow conservatives to say:

You are the one percent and we won’t stop because we believe our cause is just. You can’t stop us because our numbers are too strong. We can’t stop; we won’t stop. We are the 99 percent.

All adults understand there are consequences for for each of our actions. Contracts are a classic example. Signer ‘A’ promises to do something, for which signer ‘B’ promises to pay . This man should understand this, we all face this fact in differing ways. No pity for lack of maturation here. My real concern is his lack of personal ethics. He seems to have a very loose grasp of the truth, and his life goal is to be an officer of the court? I do hope this column is neatly tucked into his file for future employers to see.

“@RobtheIdealist” wrote also that “My father was a Baptist minister for over 30 years, who had preached with an intellectual sharpness…”.

It’s not clear that his father’s profession is relevant, but since Rob the Idealist has introduced the subject, let’s test the claim about his father’s “intellectual sharpness”

In Mark 15:34 we find Jesus confessing with a bitter complaint that the Christian trinity had abandoned him. A few moments later Jesus dies. This means that no Christ and no Israelitic god died for humanity’s salvation. To sidestep the problem, one could construe the title, Christ, as fitting for a merely human being. I believe that this is the orthodox Jewish conception, although orthodox Jews use the word messiah. Unfortunately for Rob’s father, this alternate construal of ‘Christ’ undermines Baptist soteriology.

His father should have paid closer attention also to Genesis 1, too. There we find the claim that the god called the darkness night The trouble, obviously, is that the sun wasn’t created until a few days later, and without the sun, Earth has no shadow. If Earth has no shadow, then there is no night.

Now, perhaps there is a nonliteral interpretation of the word night as used in Genesis 1:5. We could suppose, albeit with scant justification, that it refers to ignorance. But context indicates that it was the god which established night, i.e. the ignorance, upon creation of the physical world.

  Obviously you were being facitious and sarcastic… we get it.
  
  First – Jesus never compained “the trinity” had abandoned him. (that was a pretty good twist there).
  
  Next – God never called darkness night until the appearance of light. It kinda goes like this, really –
  
  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (That’s Genesis 1:3-5, by the way)
  
  Lets’ see… Christ means “messiah” or “annointed one”, which is the designation for someone who was prophesied to come and which Jesus fulfilled every condition. It means nothing else. Jesus fullfilled every prophesy throughout the old testament, especially evident in the messianic prophecies of Isaiah 53 & 54, and he died, in the manner that was foretold. Your assertion that this didn’t happen after telling us that it happened was quite humorous.
  
  Oh, yes, the reference to Baptist soteriology was a hoot. It’s not everyday that one gets a chance to use a $10 word for a nickels worth of meaning, in this case meaning the doctrine of salvation… what a sense of humor you have…
  
  Thanks for the entertainment, and for showing everyone how someone who knows absolutely nothing he’s speaking of can still have a great career as a humorist or comedian…
  
  We wish you continued success in your cho

  I am not trying to put down Baptists in any way by saying this.
  Anybody who preached for 30 years to a congregation would be helped by that same congregation in times of trouble. Unless that preacher was preaching ‘Social Justice’ and telling his congregation that it is the states job to look after the poor and destitute.

So if Robert had chosen to go to his local community college law school, instead of GW, he’d have saved his parents $210,000.00+++ over the past three years, when his parents presumably, truly, needed it. They could have paid off their house with that money and had plenty left over.
Instead, Robert chose to go to an expensive & prestigious law school on his parents last dime.
Good move there a-h!

I looked this story up and Utah State says the story is to teach children how to make bread and it does not mention anything about the moral of the story which is to teach children to be willing to work for what they want and don’t ask for a handout after avoiding to do any work. Utah State might want to teach that lesson to the teachers.

The fact that this lowlife has now been arrested for inciting a riot and for intentionally lying should be sufficient to disqualify him from even being allowed to sit for the Bar Exam. if there are any honest lawyers on the screening committee, they will reject his application for the Bar Exam in a heartbeat, and then this liar can use his wasted three years of law school attendance to qualify him to apply for a job as a community organizer with ACORN.

Lesson for Robert Stephens:

….say what you mean, mean what you say and always be truthful. If you tell the truth to begin with, you’ll never have to worry – because the facts speak for themselves.

Their house was foreclosed on and they have to pay $1,400 per month for 5 years for their Chapter 13 debt. They moved from a 3,500 sq. ft. Home to a very small apartment. They’re still struggling….but they BELIEVE!!!!! They are proud conservatives who won’t take any Govt. money. They will get through this.

Is this article for real? I can’t believe the readers are taking this seriously. If you watch the video Stephens never said his family is being foreclosed on. By simply watching the video can see you don’t need to do special research to disprove a statement he didn’t make. People do short sales often when banks are taking their homes. You may support the JPMorgan Chase and Wall Street, but why lie and slander people? Is it really the best way to make your point?

  I did watch the video. It was his intention to misrepresent and give the impression that “They took my parents house” as if it happened already, Past tense. That’s lying to me. I can say this because when I was in college going to a very expensive school, USC (In Los Angeles) for the year was $10,000. I was the fifth of 8 children. I had a brother that went there with me. I had another at UNC-Chapel Hill and one at U of Maryland. We were from Detroit, during the … Dare I say it, the Carter Administration. My father was a Real Estate Broker/Developer. All of us worked our fannies off whenever we could to pay for our education. Three of us were Tennis Pro’s in the summer. We worked it. I will say for a Summer job, it was sweet. I made close to $6000 in a Summer. We worked 7 days a week 12-13 hours a day, except for Sunday where I spent my mornings thanking God above for the work and opportunity that I could go to the school of my choice. As for the rest of the debt, I paid back with loan payments… it took 9 years. I did it, I wanted it. In the meantime, the home I lived in was foreclosed on. My father wanted us to go> He never thought that this would happen, but LIFE HAPPENS! His father lost their home when he was a child in the depression and it happen to a lot of Americans.

  “This blog said that because the bank was inducing my parents to sell their home in a short sale, and give Chase all of the money, it wasn’t the same thing as foreclosure, so it wasn’t that bad.” Mr. Stephens never claimed his house as going through foreclosure in the video or blog. I’m not sure why some commenter claimed his blog was different. Its ironic that the author is lying and misrepresenting the college student in order accuse the college student of lying. I guess since the readers already agree with her general point the facts go unseen.

Ok… lets clean up some of the “facts” in this…

He is going to an institute of higher learning. Places like this, are there to challenge, and put out, people who are intelligent, critical thinkers. He does not seem to measure up to what that kind of place is for.

He seems more like the I-go-to-learn-stuff type, and that level is what community colleges are for.

His parents, are not facing needing to short-sell the house (which will not all go to the bank, only the remaining US$50k of it will to finish the loan), because his mom lost a job, and his dad is ill.

They are facing needing to short-sell the house because they are wasting ~US$70k to send their learn stuff kid to a big-name institute of higher learning, when instead, they should have just sent him to a more appropriate community college, and used the rest of the money to pay off the house and buy a couple big-screen LED flat-screens.

Just think of it… all that time and money spent on their kid’s future, and he goes and trashes all their effort by intentionally getting an arrest on his record, which will come back against him in the future, over and over again with every single background check he goes through with potential employers.

They must be so proud, money well spent…

What an idiot.

Excellent work Meredith! Thanks for asking the questions that no one else would bother asking, because they wanted reality to reflect their false truth.

I’m especially fond of the separate news approach to this story (that gives us the facts) and the blog approach (which gives us your opinion on the interpretation of those facts – 99% of which I agree with you on). Thank you for discriminating the two and keeping them in separate places.

As for the young Mr. Stephens; I can only pray for a lost soul. Only in America can you be given so much and still consider yourself a victim. Apparently for him, when the going gets tough, it’s time to kick and scream like a two-year-old instead of man-up and make the hard choices like self sacrifice, cutting back for the family, and humbleness. I can only presume, since the parents are moving from a “overly conservative” are to someplace else, that he comes by his ideology honestly.

The man not only tried to pull the race card, but also attempted to use Rodney King as an example. This man clearly has to many screws loose, perhaps if he continues his training as a ‘lawyer’ he should take a few hours out of the day to properly look into the Rodney King deal, given that King had admitted that he took things to far in resisting arrest and that the police had been justified in their actions.

Not only that, but I also watched some of the live streaming from the wall street protests. Pretty funny how people scream Police Brutality, yet those same people are ignoring police orders, going beyond barricades, and shoving or throwing stuff at officers. It’s not police brutality when YOU are ignoring and breaking the law (they were also blocking traffic and preventing people from going to work) and police have to subdue you with less-than-lethal force.

Excellent job in exposing this fraud for who he is. To make up a story and try to sell it as truth when so many folks are struggling is reprehensible to say the least. If the struggles his parents are facing are true, that’s unfortunate and should sadden everyone. But this young man wants for nothing in our society and apparently doesn’t know true hardship! Again, execellent “investigative” journalism.
