And a group tonight is demanding that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other liberals distance themselves from Occupy Wall Street which many of them have embraced.

The group is using terms like -- -- -- violent and no place in civil society to describe the protesters who tried to block the New York Stock Exchange.
