Even with Democrats supporting higher taxes on the wealthy this November, Occupy protesters still found fault with California's majority party at their annual convention in San Diego on Saturday.

About 100 Occupy members protested outside the San Diego Convention Center, where the state party was holding the convention, sounding off on themes similar to those being discussed inside. But protesters said some Democrats had let them down by supporting the indefinite detention of terror suspects and spending millions on political campaigns.

"Don't just watch us, come and join us," and "Get up, get down, there's revolution in this town," they chanted.

Democratic delegates had to push through the crowd as they returned from lunch, but many stopped to talk to the protesters. Some of them also wore buttons saying "We are the 99 percent" and "Millionaire's tax of 2012."

3. Like #OWS

It's just childish. I've never pretended to support them. Other than maybe supporting Obama they are just a bunch of kids on some ridiculous mission. When they start getting really violent when it warms up (my prediction) the country will abandon them and wonder why they ever supported them, even a little.

7. Dems too? Oh, no!

On a related note, there's another site on YouTube with some very interesting music-video takes on the Occupy movement, designed to provide some relevant "entertainment" for the occupiers "between engagements, as the poster says.
