The Occumorons deserve derision:
…we learned that their personal hygiene leaves much to be desired – like, well, personal hygiene. We learned that their concept of private property is shaky at best; radio host Tony Katz hilariously schooled one shaggy gentleman on the air at length about who owned a particular chair the Occupier attempted to occupy. And we learned that they wear Guy Fawkes masks not because of any particular affinity for the noted radical Catholic terrorist but because some guy wore it in the movie V For Vendetta and it was apparently a really bitchin’ movie.
These are not deep thinkers.
But the most important lesson is that the Occupiers are a joke; they are nothing but coddled, Potemkin protesters who collapse at the first sign of resistance.
These clowns have been treated with kid gloves by gutless (or even sympathetic) politicians from Zuccotti Park to the Port of Oakland. They’ve been allowed to live in filth, dominate public spaces and generally descend into a festering petri dish of social, criminal and epidemiological pathologies by cowardly mayors and other enablers unwilling to do the most basic job of any government leader and keep order.
The mainstream media adores them, viewing them as advancing their shared left-wing agenda while also recalling the activist Sixties of legend. And, of course, the media helpfully covers up the ever-growing roster of outrages perpetrated by these nimrods. No accountability there. Even the cops are required to treat these geniuses with professional respect.
It’s been all up-twinkles for them – until now.
Not to paint a couple of botched protests as the Battle of Stalingrad, but when these idiots rushed into the midst of the assembled conservative new media folks gathered at BlogCon 2011, it was about the first time anyone ever took these cretins on en masse.
They ran into an impenetrable wall of mockery, and they had no clue what to do. They folded like a house of stinky cards.
The foundation of the success of the Occupiers is the tacit agreement by the elite to treat them with respect, to take their incoherent assemblage of bad ideas seriously, and to ignore the fact that the emperor’s new clothes are dirty, clichéd and have Che’s mug emblazoned on them.
The BlogCon folks didn’t.
They did not play along. They showed no respect. Instead, they went on the offense, kept on the offense, and turned the Occupiers’ strengths against them. It was awesome.
Read the whole report.

“The whole world is laughing.”
[Bumped]
Hilarious.
..
This get filed under the heading…
I refuse to have a battle of wit with an unarmed man.
When masks of V turned up at Zucotti Park, it should have been clear to everyone just what the organizers of OWS have in mind for this country. Their “cure” for the capitalist oppression dimwitted participants persist in whining about is more ruthless and bloody than they can possibly imagine.
No dude, the masks represent undirected lulz. When Anonymous shows up you know the hilarity has reached its peak.
For weeks we’ve been treated to news stories about OWS, detailing everything from public urination and defecation, theft, riots, rapes, vandalism, murders, drug overdoses, and generally poor life skills. Now we find disease outbreaks in OWS camps. Is anyone surprised? I’ll make the bold prediction that there will be more outbreaks of other infectious diseases. The reason is staring us in the face and tugging on our sleeves. At this point the camps are a public health hazard. OWS needs to find a new protest model because this one is killing them — literally.
There was a moment in time when OWS might have been taken seriously, if you didn’t look too hard. Now they’ve made themselves into the laughingstock of protest movements. I know that sounds cruel, but what else can you conclude? The idea that these fools have any clue about what society should look like is risible.
I met someone that believes as the occupy bunch does. When I said I didn’t believe the 1% was the problem, she said if I could even question that, I wasn’t worth talking to.
Apparently the 1% that are rich hold me down, and the govt regs are in my best interest. I wonder if any of them have ever listened to someone that has had to meet a real payroll.
…we learned that their personal hygiene leaves much to be desired – like, well, personal hygiene.
Imagine my surprise to learn that a bunch of stupid, dirty, smelly hippies smell like a bunch of stupid, dirty, smelly hippies. I hope BlogCon had some industrial strength air freshener to get rid of the stench.
It’ll take more than Febreze to get rid of tuberculosis…
When the OWS id10tz claim that the 1% control the government what are they really claiming?
In the US the mass of voters control who sits as legislators, congressmen, governors, and president. There are few qualifications to be a voter beyond being an adult citizen. (and enforcement of those are in doubt at times.) Those elected officials control the rest of government of behalf of the people.
Is massive election fraud being claimed? Do they claim that representatives are corrupted as fast as they can be replaced? Is the wealth of the 1% being used to bamboozle clueless masses?
Well, one could argue that it is the unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who wield the true power, but that wouldn’t exactly square with the calls for increased regulation, redistribution or whatever it is they failed to communicate.
Having seen one of their protests, I don’t thnk they know what they’re protesting. They just know they’re against it, and it’s got to stop!
That said, the government is controlled by less than 1% of the population, who live and work in Washington, DC. A full-time legislature is a full-time disaster, and because of the advantages they give themselves, it’s very difficult to vote incumbents out of office.
In addition to term limits, we need to limit the time Congress is in session. Congressmen and staffers should be required by law to spend at least 185 days a year in their home districts.
“Is massive election fraud being claimed?”
Their replies vary between society is a bunch of sheeple who are brainwashed by TV and get their news from Faux and as long as Diebold counts the votes there is no real election taking place.
If I could get these maroons to tell me WHERE & WHEN any socialist, bottom up revolution ever solved anything, I’d at least listen. But the few times I’ve watched any of them on TV or online, they all sound like drop outs from a “Cliche’ Re-Sign Festival”.
Sad, sad, sad.
Oh they will be more than happy to point at Sweden or Switzerland or some other Scandinavian country with high taxes and lots of social welfare programs.
But at an OWS protest, a swede would not get to the front of the speaking line due to the progressive stack.
