16. My favorite are the failed attempts
My favorite are the failed attempts to shut it down by the OWGs (Old White Guys).

I counted at least 4, not counting the guy who tried to stop the cameraman. (The booing, the guy at the mike talking, the clapping, the guy at the mike again).

Every time they tried to drown out the mic, it was the OWGs that gave up first. Ha.

26. That is fan-freakin-tastic. I am SO PROUD of those protestors and I hope the video spreads the idea
as well as what happened there.

It did make me wonder, though, how the 99% got seats at a table. Someone was smart enough to buy into the luncheon I guess?

27. The Intelligence Gathering Done... WOW
Edited on Sat Nov-05-11 11:33 AM by independentsrule
WOW! These tie breakfasts and dinners are hard to infiltrate. They screen the people that they allow into these events and they are not cheap either.

Unbelievable work guys. The necessary Intelligence gathering and planning that must have gone into infiltrating these Republican breakfasts is incredible.

Way to represent,
the 99%

33. I've been saying from the beginning...
The "Peoples Mic" will be the lingering social affect of the initial #OWS movement. Not letting them have a bull horn was a big frickin' mistake by the city. Of course pepper spray and tear gas and goon squads assist in the rise of these movements greatly.
And anyone who says there is no unified message, no sound bite so to speak, is simply not listening.
It is a very big tent, all are welcome as long as you practice non-violence.

37. It's funny how clueless these rich white guys are...
if they weren't so obviously stunned, you'd think they were clandestinely propping up the movement.

The people's mic is a brilliant invention: human, unstoppable, independent of corporate-controlled technology. And as a bonus, it's empowering too.

50. Congrats to each and every one of them. Stand together!
The pushback is awesome and powerful right now, but the people can still prevail. If we lose this fight, we lose it all, because the Supreme Court has assured that money will ultimately crush us.
