It's pretty lame when your entire "Days of Rage" riot will fit inside a single drunk tank.

They actually might have gotten 20,000, if they'd just called it "Days of Rave."

It looks like they had to change the Twitter name again, it was @#occupywallstreet and now it was changed to @#ourwallstreet. BTW there's a Twitterer named iowahawkblog and he's annoying the heck out of them no doubt with his tweets :lmao: here's a few of his Tweets:


Quote
#USDayofRage #TakeWallStreet #OccupyWallStreet #OurWallStreet please use new hashtag #WHYWONTYOULOVEMEDADDY

Quote
#USDayofRage #TakeWallStreet #OccupyWallStreet #OurWallStreet how many times must a hashtag be changed, before it's mocked half to death?

Quote
#TakeWallStreet The Wall Street ate my homework. Then it called me names and rearranged my furniture!

Quote
#TakeWallStreet I'm sick of corrupt bankers running the US! Let's turn it over to 500 incoherent NYU film majors in Guy Fawkes masks!

What took you so long MSNBC: Protesters invade NYC Financial District 
 Demonstrators invoke Mideast rallies, call for end to corporate greed favoring rich
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44564317/ns/us_news-life /

More than 1,000 demonstrators descended on New York City's Financial District on Saturday for what could be a days-long protest of what they said was corporate greed favoring the rich at the expense of ordinary people.

14. You are right of course
 except that it did NOT turn out to start with thousands...

And that is the point.

MOVEMENTS have their own logic.

Time will tell about this one.

Oh and in the very early days of WI, here, people poopoed that one too.

As I said, rhetorical It seems to me... take it or leave it, don't matter, that some people are actually committed to diminishing anything that the people do. I get it why by the way. 
Say WHAT? :mental:

10. Yup..
 These protesters look like well fed college kids complete with all manner of capitalist luxuries out for a good time. They won't be able to take over Wall Street, and this sort of street theater will have no impact on anything.
You saw that too?

On a weekend, there will be hundreds of tourists wandering around on Wall Street.
They're probably being included in the estimates.

11. There was no blocked twitter account
   
Trending topics on twitter follow hashtags not individual accounts. They screwed themselves by switching tags all day based on rumors of Twitter blocking.
They diluted the effect with two many tags, all of the following worked

#takewallstreet #occupywallstreet #usdor #sep17

I think this needs to be mocked mercilessly.  Decrying capitalism, then tweeting about it from their iPhones and iPads is the epitome of hypocrisy.  To rub salt in the wound, I think Rush should send them a few cases of TwoIfByTea.

ABC News is so stupid, at the top of the hour they did the news and the Announcer said there was a massive protest today on Wall Street, they go to the Reporter on site and the Reporter said a couple of hundred protesters are on hand.
