There is never a shortage of stupid people, the trick is to harness that stupidity. That's what each party is good at, harnessing their own set of idiots for their purposes.

Now that I've calmed down enough to think about it, I don't think it's that simple. (Seriously, the video unsettled me.)

I think it's just group-think. If everyone does it, no matter how silly, it becomes uncomfortable to say anything about it. I bet if someone were to interview an individual from that mob, they'd renounce what they just did.

I'm not sure what was creepier, the group-chant thing, or the weird little finger wave thing. Hell if I know what their message was, other than continuing the "agenda" which seemed to consist of talking about continuing the "agenda."

That seriously creeped me out as well. I THOUGHT they were mindless idiots, but I never suspected they chanted in unison every time someone spoke.

It's like a cult that arrives on the short bus.

lol, apparently someone is oblivious to recent events. This is all related to a Bylaw that prevents the usage of Blowhorns/Amplification for those speaking at the OccupyWallStreet protest. IOWs, this is just paying homage to the center of the whole movement.

Needing to "calm down" makes you far scarier than these Protestors.

If only they put so much effort into their own lives, most of them probably wouldn't be at these rallies.

Yup, but don't tell the ignorant here. They love stuff that makes them feel crazed. They want to be scared of Zombies. But hey, even though you told them they probably still don't know what's going on.

I don't know or care to know who john lewis is, but after watching a minute or so of the vid, I figure the guy was REALLY SLOW....... so.. maybe that's why they had to repeat everything? Tho, one of the comments made me laugh, they were forgot to repeat it in spanish! haha sigh, anyway, I couldn't take watching this for the full 10 minutes. so... For those that did ... congrats!

Maybe they are repeating so people further away can hear?

That's the idea, and it's a very stupid one that could be easily solved by passing that megaphone around or having people come up on stage and use the megaphone there.

lmao by the time they get around to not praising or offending anybody and going through their agenda and confirming it 3 times it will be the year 2154. The borg queen cant wait.

Whenever I see these "Occupy ____" protesters it makes me nostalgic for Bull Connor. Bust out the fire hoses!
