Occupy DC protesters made their mark Saturday at the Alfalfa Club dinner, targeting the city‘s top power brokers at the annual event that serves as a who’s who of Washington elite.
ABC News reported hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Capitol Hilton, where President Barack Obama was one of the speakers. Demonstrators heckled dinner-goers and attempted to block the guest entrance. No arrests were made.
WUSA-TV reported:
Occupy DC Protesters tested the patience of Metropolitan Police Officers tonight when they threw water and glitter at guests, including Senator Joe Lieberman. Officers did their best manning the two square block perimeter around the Capitol Hilton.
The mostly young crowd turned the protest into what they called a street party for the 99 percent to counter the Alfalfa Club’s one percent. The rowdy, topless, and sometimes pot-smoking protesters were not arrested.

In one video posted online, Occupy protesters are seen throwing glitter at a group of dinner attendees as they pass them on the street. The camera zooms in to show the Lieberman, covered in the stuff.
“That’s Lieberman, Senator Lieberman,” someone says on the video. “Lieberman, you suck!”
According to AFP, protesters danced to Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” while officers looked on. Several young women “gleefully” bared their breasts, including one who wrote “freedom of expression” on the belly of another. Several men also removed their own shirts.

The fist looks like a ‘black power’ fist to me. Can you imagine if the Tea party had a sign like that with a ‘white power’ symbol? ( there is no white power symbol, I know)
Where are all the investigative reporters? Are they all bought by Georgie Porgie or our tax dollars?
Where is FOX? They are not covering this..its all sunshine and puppie dogs now.. grrrrrrr. talk radio now the only place to get the news.. and GBTV and here and Drudge. I’m sure they plan to take them down too.
My friends are watching mindless TV programs.. like Jerry ‘who is the baby’s daddy ‘
show. They know nothing of what is going on. I have already told them not to complain when everything is taken away by the commies .Are they going to say OK.. I‘ll go to the ’work‘ camp because they’ll have Jerry Springer there on the TV. Yup.. they told us that?
Every day that this gets worse I have to wonder why my friends remain complacent.. what the eff will it take?
This is NOT business as usual.. Do they think it can’t happen in America? It IS happening and the plot is very clever and devious so as not to wake regular people out of their slumber.

Posted on January 29, 2012 at 9:52amWhy weren’t they arrested? I think we need to differentiate between peaceful lawful dissent and thugs who deserve to be arrested. If you don’t draw the line at illegal behavior, you’re just giving them a free pass. (Which is obviously abused.) Ben is right – there is no way the tea party would’ve been given this leeway.

Posted on January 29, 2012 at 9:48amThe OWS protesters are nothing more thanTOOLS, part of an agenda. They are being used like pieces on a chess board. Remember this started not with protesters standing against progressives and liberals, but rather against capitolism, Corporate America, and our country as a Republic. Liberals and progressives actually have been supportive of the rights of OWS to do what they have been doing. The protesters now, as they don’t see what they want(what is it exactly the want again? ) coming to pass in the manner they expected, are starting to turn on the very liberals and progressives who have supported them. Did anyone not see this coming? Now the libs and progressives can come down hard on the “99%“ as they begin to claim OWS a ”threat“ due to these ”tools” (OWS). Since their clear continued statement (false) is that they are the 99% what will their actions cause for all of us, “We The People?”. When the goverment decides to turn back on them as they are now turning on their liberal/progressive supporters what laws may be enforced on The United States people as a whole for the sake of National Security and safety of governement officials? FOOLS GO HOME! You are setting up the majority of us American people, the REAL MAJORITY for future government agendas that will negatively impact WE THE PEOPLE!

They’re not going to take having to cash 2 years of unemployment checks paid for by those who are WORKING while they are partying? They’re not going to take, having to NOT PAY ANY TAXES and having to LET all those evil people who bust their butts pay all the taxes FOR THEM?
They’re not going to take, having to have sex in public? They’re not going to take, having to defecate in toilets instead of on police cars? They’re not going to take, having to clean up after themselves, instead of wallowing in rotting garbage and filth, breeding thousands of rats?
Just what is it that they aren’t going to take?
It would be nice if they wouldn’t take free handouts. If they wouldn’t take our hard-earned money. If they wouldn’t take from those who make.
These fail to qualify as protests. They are just self-indulgent expressions of covetousness / greed, slothfulness / laziness, and lust. They are the very image of The Fall of Rome.
