Occupy Iowa Caucus Protesters Storm Democrats' War Room - GuardianUK
Occupy Iowa caucus protesters storm Democrats' war room

A newly-opened Democrat "war room" in Iowa found itself under siege on Sunday night, when a group of Occupy Iowa caucus protesters infiltrated the premises and demanded to meet senior Democrat officials. Abour 15 protesters entered the base at the Renaissance Savery hotel, complaining they were being prevented from meeting with Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Some gained access to what the DNC is calling their war room – a centralised space set aside for providing press briefings during the Iowa caucuses – before being escorted out by police.
Dozens of Occupy protesters have been present at Republican candidates' events during the last week, while 12 people were arrested on Thursday night after blocking the Iowa Democratic party headquarters. Protesters have been keen to stress that they see both Republicans and Democrats as in thrall to big business.
Earlier on Sunday a group of Occupy Iowa caucus protesters had hand-delivered a letter to Democrat staff at the Renaissance Savery, asking Wasserman Schultz to meet with them at the Occupy headquarters in Des Moines on Monday afternoon.
"The Democratic party has held the White House since 2008 and had a Democratic majority in Congress for two years," the letter said. "During that time, President Obama and the Democratic party put the agenda of Wall Street and the corporate 1% first over the needs of 99% of the country. Your leadership failed us. You must do better in 2012."

1. Clueless people doing stupid things.
Because, apparently, in their world there is no Republican Party exploiting every opportunity and dirty trick to prevent the Democrats from accomplishing anything.

16. What they did was not smart.
They want to meet with the Democratics? Then you don't hand them a letter with a harangue of complaints and say, "How about we get together on Monday?"
By doing that, they have already said they aren't willing to discuss anything substantive. They just want to complain more.
I know there is a lot to complain about but simple expediency dictates that you don't go in with insults and complaints if you truly want someone to listen to you.
When that is your first foot forward, most people tune out.
Which they have.

19. And I agree with YOU.
They SHOULD be listened to. But they won't if they start off with a hostile attitude. The fact that they are actually trying to talk instead of occupying things is progress. Now if they can only finesse the message, they might have a real effect on things.
No,they will always be filthy,whiny leeches.

5. Dumbasses.
Did they think Romney or Santorum was in there?
Guess the 99% are heading to the Gulag as soon as they cross the self appointed Politburo of the DUmp.
Leftism never changes.

Wait, I thought Occupy was protesting current policies and government? What the hell do Romney and Santorum have to do with that? Thanks for FINALLY having the balls to admit what "Occupy" really is about, and it's not about some perceived injustice. It's about keeping Democrats in power.
You mofuggas need to huddle the hell up or something.

I believe we need to consult with the movement's expert. It's confusing. :lmao:

It appears that even stupid unwashed hippies are capable of having the odd lucid moment. Yes, stupid unwashed hippies, the Dems are at least as much of a tool for big, monied interests as the GOP, and they could give less than a cat turd about your stupid peon lives, they just want you to get back to doing their dirty work for them.

These Democrat "war rooms" are being established in every state. Not to promote the democrat party candidates but to defame the decent and civilized people.

They don't have to do much so far, Romney's super-PAC seems to be carrying their water for them.

I went to see if Sabrina went rushing into their thread, ready to defend OWS to the death. She's not there. Maybe she died.
