Occupy DC planning mayhem for CPAC
During a Thursday meeting at McPherson Square, until Saturday the epicenter of the protests, Occupiers brainstormed tactics for shutting down or disrupting the conference, according to a source who was present at the meeting.
The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming “fire” during conference activities, “glitter-bombing” participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.
“Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted,” the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, “said they would be disappointed if they didn’t get arrested and planned to ‘make it count.’”
The source quoted another protester as saying, “Mitt [Romney] has Secret Service now, but [Newt] Gingrich and [Andrew] Breitbart don’t,” seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded.

OWS is not “hippies”. It’s a well co-ordinated effort by Soros/SEIU/Obama that uses hippies as their useful idiots. But don’t for a second underestimate their ability to inflict violence on their enemies when needed.

And he missed the part about the New Black Panthers and the unions being there as well.

These are not lazy hippies in DC, they are professional communist agitators who have been doing this crap under one guise or another for years. OWS is just their latest incarnation. Don’t be fooled.

Do y’all remember that time when right-wing protesters interrupted a liberal conference? Me neither.

I would love to see one, just one of the candidates punch out an attacker. In fact they should all resolve to be ready to physically react to these OWS turds when they make the first move
