Maddow compares 'Occupy Oakland' to 1930s 'Bonus Army' protest

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on her show Wednesday night highlighted the similarities between the recent crack down on "Occupy Oakland" protesters and the crack down on the "Bonus Army" protesters in 1932. The "Bonus Army" was comprised of war veterans who camped out near the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. The demonstration was forcefully broken up the U.S. Army. When the public learned about the military's intervention, they were outraged.
