What an article. Those protesters are getting duped so bad.
All the key players, the ones running the committees are staying in swank hundreds of dollars per night hotels downtown.
The 1% really is running the show for the other 99%.
I wonder if OWS will have an accounting of that $500K they deposited.
I suspect by the time the IRS gets done with them they will.
First image that came to my mind reading your post:
Nancy Pelosi tossing crumbs to the filthy, groveling masses from the balcony of her luxurious hotel suite (paid for by her notinsidertrading stock profits) while smiling that creepy Witch smile of hers and proclaiming, "God Bless You."
The guy put the room on his credit card and I bet he submits it for reimbursement. Compliments of Deloitte??? He doesn't like tents, but he may have to get used to living in one if he doesn't have a job when he gets back to Cali. What an idiot to make it public for his employer to see.
And there's good old patronizing Newt...telling them they need baths and to find jobs.
Don't these guys realize that, as money-making citizens, they're obligated to support the ruling class and not some lower/middle-class movement that thinks we're all equally entitled to .... hm.
Jobs? Congressional members who aren't owned by special interests? The ability to afford health care?
Jeesh...
More class distinction. Honestly, who didn't see this coming on #OccupyDayOne ?
That was so chock full of goodness I'm not sure which is my favorite part.
It's a toss up between the look on the guy's face when Sam says, "So you've been here 8 weeks and you already have a ghetto?"
LOL!
Or it might be the iPad guy who wants everyone to have "access" to technology and whatever gadgets but is not willing to share his. His is "personal" property, he's against "private" property. No, really, there IS a difference!
Or it could have been the laughable hypocrisy of holding meetings in the Duetsche Bank to talk about protesting banks.
Or it might just have been the statue with the port a potty.
I normally can't stand Jon Stewart but this piece was hysterical.
