Joe Lieberman Glitter Bombed by Occupy DC
The heckling and jeering was well-deserved, as Mr. Independent from Connecticut does indeed suck. He looked none too pleased by being bombed. I love this report by ace reporter Ellen Scott for WUSA.

Tonight some of the most powerful people in America met at the 99th Annual Alfalfa Club dinner. This club is made up of some of the most influential people in America, including President Obama. Occupy DC decided to show up to the meeting as well.
Occupy DC Protesters tested the patience of Metropolitan Police Officers tonight when they threw water and glitter at guests, including Senator Joe Lieberman. Officers did their best manning the two square block perimeter around the Capitol Hilton.
The mostly young crowd turned the protest into what they called a street party for the 99 percent to counter the Alfalfa Club's one percent. The rowdy, topless, and sometimes pot-smoking protesters were not arrested.
Codepink's Alli McCracken tweeted this bit of whimsy last night:
he could have accomplished just as much for a lot less money.
"Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party."

Now why can't *all* Occupy events be "policed" like that ?
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
and the protesters got hit by motorists, the reaction wasn't all that charitable.
"Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party."

Glitter bombs. Pointless. Waste of time. Counter productive. Childish. Grow up.
Grow up and do what? Use real bombs? I love it. And it will make several dry cleaners happy.
Not nearly as pointless as your lame-ass comment.
If it was so pointless you wouldn't have BOTHERED.
that is a good way to make a statement about corporate greed.
A street party was not the planned activity, from what I read.
Occupy is losing focus.
Positive perception of Occupy is dropping.
They are easily dismissed as deadbeat hippies when this stuff happens.
Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.

If you wish to engage sanctimonious finger wagging, Daily Kos is that way >>>>>>>>>>
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.
Just 11 month's until this GOP wannabee hack is gone.
Wonder which insurance company bribers will employ him next?
He and his buddy Chris Dodd can do lunch, and discuss how they are going to feed what's left of the American people's carcass to the highest bidder.
SOB's!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
