That was essentially the vibe in Nashville on Thursday night, as a rare rash of love broke out across the political divide between Occupy Nashville protesters and a conservative counter-protesting group. Jeff Woods, a writer with the Nashville Scene newspaper, reports that a &#8220;shouting, sign-waving band of Vanderbilt young Republicans&#8221; marched onto Nashville&#8217;s downtown Legislative Plaza to stage a public response to the local iteration of the Occupy movement. The Republicans were met with a chant of &#8220;We Love You!&#8221; from the Occupy Nashville crowd. Woods observed that the Republicans were &#8220;undeterred by their warm welcome&#8221; at first, chanting, &#8220;Occupy the White House! Fire Obama!&#8221; But minutes later, the goodwill reportedly caught on, and the scene began to resemble something like the famous World War I Christmas truce on the battlefields of Flanders.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/nationnow\/2011\/11\/occupy_nashvile_lovefest.html\">Occupy Nashville vs. GOP confrontation turns into love fest &#8211; latimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Hey, you socialist hippie weirdos!
