No, it just shows that college hippies are phenomenally credulous as well as economically illiterate. And, sure, why not: pawns, too.

I am not sure that this Occupy Every Place movement is larger than the Tea Party, though. And once people become aware of its Canadian origins, it will be less popular than AIDS.

I'd be surprised if people do become aware of it.  The populace at large that is.  This seems like the kind of story that would slip through the cracks, somewhat intentionally.

 

I mean the Wallstreet protests are great filler matieral for news stations.

They may fly under the radar for a while, but someone is bound to say "out" or "about" eventually. Then... it's on.

Well, conservative talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh have already stated this several times on the radio, so a lot of people on the right already know it.  Though, I think people on the left will choose to stay ignorant of that fact or they simply won't care.

As far as how large the movement is, when compared to the Tea Party, its not very large.  I've only seen reports of there being hundreds gathering.  It may have grown to thousands, but that's mainly because of unions encouraging their members to join in.  So the numbers have grown mainly because of special interests groups and not actual everyday people, like the Tea Party did.  The Tea Party, on the other hand, has had assemblies where there has been tens to hundreds of thousands.
