#Occupy — They’re not very bright, are they?
**Posted by Phineas
If you’re going to protest a minion of the Evil One-Percent(tm) –in this case, a state government official concerned about the integrity of the elections he supervises– you might try protesting in the right room…
I saw a very funny example of the ineptness of the Occupy protesters today. I was at CPAC to speak on a panel on voter fraud and the 2012 election with John Fund, Catherine Engelbrecht, and David Norcross. We got to our ballroom as the prior session was winding up. It was being hosted by David Keene of the NRA and the panelists were talking about criminal-justice reform and the Second Amendment.
As the panelists were speaking, two Occupy protesters walked up to the stage and unrolled a big banner attacking Kris Kobach, the secretary of state of Kansas. Kobach is a very smart lawyer who worked at the Bush Justice Department and was elected secretary of state in 2010. He has raised the ire of liberals because of his support for common-sense election reforms like voter-ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for individuals registering to vote, both of which were passed by the Kansas legislature.
(…)
There was only one problem for the protesters — they were in the wrong room (LOL!). Kobach’s panel was going on elsewhere in the hotel and he was not on the panel that David Keene was moderating or the one that was about to start. When Keene told the protesters that, everyone in the room started laughing at them and they sheepishly folded up their banner and left. They apparently never made it to the actual room where Kobach was speaking.
Kobach, it turns out, was speaking in a different room, on an immigration panel. (He did crucial work on Arizona’s SB 1070, for example.)
And they want us to let them lead us to a better world? As the great Homer Simpson would say, “D’oh!”

It would probably help their cause immensely if they could not only read, but if their comprehension level was something above 27%.
And then they could start working on interpretation of what they are reading – you know, how to connect the dots and all…
There may be three types of ignorance. A: Things we just don’t know because we are too busy doing our daily duties.
B: Things we won’t learn about because we don’t want to.
C. Willful stupidity because we don’t want to study the gummit enough to learn the difference between one department and another.
Tell these freaks all elections are held on Wednesdays!
Another part of this story that has developed is the occupy members are being paid $60 a day by labor unions. ‘Nuff said!
And one just has to know that the labor unions, those bastions of protectors of the workers’ rights, are supplying health insurance, unemployment insurance, social security and medicare, income tax withholding, and, of course, matching funds for a 401k. That leaves $34.98 take-home pay for a minimum seven hour workday.
I certainly hope the schlubs doing this aren’t working more than seven hours, because that would violate minimum wage laws, and you know the unions wouldn’t stand for that!

They’re pretty dim, true – however, I did notice that they generally stopped proclaiming what their majors were on their placards after the first week or so, so they did show some ability to learn, at least in response to laughter.
Yeah, alanstorm, “Advanced Intersecting of Natural and Synthetic Fibrous Materials”, when the smoke is cleared, is still “Advanced Basketweaving.”
From an article in the NYT:
“People have different goals,” Rainey said. “Mine is, we’ve got to build a movement that will replace the type of government we have now.” (Rainey is a Seattle activist involved with the #Occupy movement there.)
And that, folks, in a nugget is the real aim of the #Occupy movement. Nothing about helping people, nothing about “fairness,” nothing about anything except a nebulous “We’ve got to replace the type of government we have now.” And it doesn’t even say with what they will replace it!
Wonder if they’re getting all their money from the poor fools doing the actual demonstrations? Nah, of course not. It’s being surreptitiously funded by major Obhammud contributors. You know, the “1%” the fools are supposedly protesting about?
